Best computer upgrade and save options
Couple of questions different but first background with what I use our computer to my work. We produce 2 large catalogs a year, deal with TONS of images to create our range of products with our own unique designs created in-house. Large files with a lot of storage and a screen with true colors is therefore paramount.
1. we are looking to upgrade a desktop computers (old iMac that I can't even find the year on it). I recently had to completely erase and reset up to an iMac (27 "mid-2011, intel core i7 to 3.4 GHZ;) Memory: 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3) we could substitute, but it has been unreliable in the past (where the reason I wiped it). Praying is good to go now, but I don't feel too comfortable with it and so I am researching options for the purchase of a new. Any suggestions?
2. the other computer in our office is a Mac Pro (mid-2012; Processor: 2 x 3.06 GHz 6 - Core Intel Xeon; Memory: 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC; Storage: 427.04 free G to Go 999,35 more a free WD4TB of 3.49 tuberculosis and a 4 TB 2,81 free TB MyBook). I am looking for a reliable backup option. We have a great Pro LaCie 5big (I can't seem to get any other information that it) I try to keep everything backed up on all the computer and I use the WD4TB and the MyBook actually keep all our files and knit out of them. Did some research earlier, I read that drives external hard only last 1-3 years and still less with constant use on them. We produce a large catalog, so I thought that in order to save wear and tear on my MacPro and keep it clear so I could easily work in several large files, it would be smart to run all my files off my external drive of my book, but now I'm not so sure since I read that could degrade the lives of the MyBook.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thank you!!
For backup, I prefer pregnant OWC (www.macsales.com) because they seem to live forever. However HD is HD fail eventually. I have gone through other types of housing including LaCie, Seagate, and WD and have had prolonged with OWC products then success than others always failed.
Your business may be a good candidate for the ThunderBay 4 OWC solution that has the ability to manage up to 24 TB of data.

I saved my adobe files temporarily muse in my computer when I restart my PC I see not the mt files, please tell me how to recover my files and how to record my entire Web site file using save option.
When you talk about 'temporarily' as record files in the temporary folder and then by restarting the machine will lose files. You can save the file in any location stored as reader or office and then reopen the case should show all of the content without any loss.
If the files are deleted or lost there's no way to recover those, sorry if this is the case.
Thank you

HP Jet 13-c019tu: help options alternative Options to upgrade and storage to be used again
I'll do more my BA engineering courses for 4 years from now in the computer field and I heard that it requires not too big programs, but not too small to install hp laptop 13 STREAM on the PC that I OWN the computer I know that it can not be upgraded to the best SSD STORAGE but can I use an external with USB 3.0 hardisk uSB INTERFACE to store and install the apps & PROGRAMS
Very difficult to execute applications of external storage, because a part of the application must be registered in the registry and .dll files must be in the/windows folder when even though you may not entirely separate programs on an external storage medium.
You might consider a card (SD) digital blocked to extend storage. A fast SD card of class 10 can be installed and pretty much converted to permanent storage, you can carry with you inside the laptop. Data and programs can be installed on the SD card. I saw them up to 512 GB.
But to intervene with the voice of reason, if you go to Engineering and Computer Science, according to me, you have to think in terms of a laptop other than the stream. You can find low power do 3D technical drawing and compile the Code.

I can't find my Vista even though when I type "winver" in the start menu, the computer says my I have Vista. Can I just install an upgrade of Windows 7 instead of buy a start-from-scratch OS? Thank you, Michael Higgins
Hello
There are different methods to reinstall Vista, without purchase you another license...
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

original title: Keyboaed shortcuts?
Hello, anyone know how to stop the computer, close the current program and save the work using only the keyboard in Vista Home premium?
Thank you for your time and efforts to this issue.
Kind regards
Jazzie5.
Hello jazzie5,
In addition to what Tom SC suggested, you can close a window or the current program by pressing Alt + F4.
The common shortcut for recording of the work is CTRL + S. I advise to use this command before you press Alt + F4 to close the program, although many programs will prompt to save your work if you do this before you save it manually.
Bonus keyboard shortcuts:
Task Manager: Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC
Close the tab in the browser: Ctrl + W
Switch between tabs in the browser: Ctrl + Tab
Let us know if you have any other questions!
