• Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

  Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

  I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

  Concerning

  Pete

  The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

  I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

  If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

  It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

  It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

  I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.

• Print file stuck in the coil, the message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program".

  Recently, I tried to capture a job by a break of a print queue, print work and copy the files from the spool (under C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS) before unpausing the queue. However, when I try to copy the files, I get the error message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program". I tried several times with the same result. The only way to get the file off the ground is obviously t reactivate the print queue and they will quickly deteleted shortly after. Is there a way I can recover these files? Assume the change the port in 'File' to make a copy of file is on the table. I ran this in the title of administrator user rights.

  The file you are trying to "capture" you will do some good.  However, if you want to watch or copy it, first stop the print spooler.  Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK).  Scroll down to "Print spooler" and click "Stop".  Don't forget to restart the print spooler after you copy the file or you will not be able to print.

  

  If you want to print to a file rather than on paper, there are at least three ways to do it (not counting "Print to a file").

  Using the "Print to file" box will produce a *.prn file.  It contains commands specific to the printer; It cannot be opened by the usual word processor applications; It can be used to print to the printer selected in the print dialog box or printer that uses the same commands to the printer.  For example, you have a printer installed on 1 computer but you have physically moved the printer to computer 2, where it is now installed.  You can check the "Print to file" on the computer 1, save the file to a flash drive *.prn, carry it to computer 2 and then print it out by copying the file to the printer (in a command prompt window).

  1. the best way, IMO, is to print to a PDF using free CutePDF Writer.

  2. you can create a "generic, only the text" printer and select this option when you print.  This produces a *.txt file.  To install the generic/text printer only, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Start button, point to settings, and then click Printers.
  2. Double-click the add printer icon.
  3. Click the next button.
  4. When you are prompted "How is this printer attached to your computer? Click the local printer option button, and then click Next.
  5. In the manufacturers box, click Generic. In the Printers box, click generic/text only, and then click Next.
  6. In the available Ports box, click FILE, and then click Next.
  7. When you are prompted "do you want that your Windows-based programs to use this printer as the default printer?" click the no option button, and then click Next.
  8. When you are guests "would you like to print a test page?" click the no option button, and then click the Finish button.

  3. use the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, which may already be installed on your computer.  "XPS" was Microsoft's attempt to compete with Adobe PDF.  He did not.  Unfortunately, the only way to view a document produced by the XPS Document Writer is using the Microsoft XPS Viewer.

• To combine files to PDF, a file has been replaced by another, the program automatically replaces the files? in other words, I did not choose, and it was merged into the document.

  When you combine files to PDF a single file has been replaced by another, can the program automatically replace files? in other words, I has not been chosen, and it has been merged in the document.

  Sorry, I don't have any ideas. This isn't a usual problem. It may be useful to repeat carefully to see if it happens again and check that the files contain what you expect.

• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

• How can I find what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod.

  My computer with the installed iTunes died. I tried to load iTunes in my new computer, and then use it with my iPod and I get the error message that another version of iTunes has been used to record music on my iPod.  The new iTunes wants to erase everything on my iPod and start over.   Is the only place in all the songs I have on my iPod so I don't want to erase it and start over. I need to know what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod, the last time that I've updated so that I can download the version of iTunes and my iPod allows to recover all my songs in iTunes.   In turn if there is a way that I can download all my iPod songs in a folder on the computer and then reload them in iTunes.

  That is to say that a different library was used. The version is not really relevant. If your old computer and new were both running the same version you'd still see the same message unless you have migrated your library or restored a backup. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device.

• Try to activate Windows, error: this product key has already been used on another computer

  (Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)

  How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

  I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

  Hi Christian,

  I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

  As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

  I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

• How to set the pressure necessary for the keys on the keyboard? I adjusted it 2 years when I had my Macbook Air, but I forgot how I did it. In my opinion, only a touch of F has been used.

  How to address the need to pressure for keys? I've adjusted it 2 years ago when I got my Macbook, but I forgot how. In my opinion, only a touch of F has been used.

  I don't know what you are referring. You can't 'adjust the need to pressure for the keys. The keyboard is what it is. The key must be pressed far enough for electric contact in key switches. The keys are not adjustable in this way.

• Satellite L40 - 18Z: warnings of Tempo that 75% of the memory has been used

  My dad recently bought a satellite L40 - 18z.

  Tempo began to give warnings that 75% of the memory has been used.
  When I checked there a 74 GB HDD with 3 partitions top - 1.46 GB (which I assume is the recovery partition), GB 37.26 labeled 'Vista', containing the OS and all the rest, and finally Go 35.80 labeled 'Data' which is empty.

  The partition 'Data' is necessary?

  Or do I have to move all of the documents on this partition, and if so why not been put there by default?

  My father is not very computer and I find it strange that the hard drive is not that way. It could very easily write the Vista partition and thought it was! And ended up paying someone to put a bigger HDD in or sorting.

  It seems to be no mention of partition 'Data' in the documentation or advice on how to use it.

  > Is the partition 'Data' necessary?
  Well, you can use this partition for data storage.
  I mean you don t need to store files such as mp3, jpg, etc. on the system partition, but on this partition.
