External storage

O/e 22 Oct I'll upgrade my x 64 W7 on Vista HP laptop.   After, I put up-to-date and updates I think of buying a SATA external storage device to create a backup of my entire system.   My current total content of C & D drives is 110 GB and I don't know what's going to W7 add or reduce this number.   I would like to ask the group to get an idea on what camera I have to buy and also all SATA devices work with my laptop.    Thank you

You can build your own; Get a portable 2.5 SATA HDD inches, then an adapter eSATA and usb 2.0 as this one:

Purchase possible

After the Win7 update, the use of the disc will be not materially different he was with Vista.

  • Move all backups and iTunes library to external storage

    Hi all

    My MBP internal SSD is full so I want to move all the data from iTunes to external storage.

    I found how to move the library which was pretty easy.

    Thanks in advance

    Not difficult, read here:

    Two things to remember:

    the first time you open iTunes after move your library: hold down the ALT (option) and iTunes point to where you put the library on the external drive. iTunes will remember that.

    When you want to use iTunes to make sure that this disk is attached.

  • 10 improvement of the Windows path hangs on "place the external storage and press OK.

    Hello

    This will be my first post on this forum.

    A couple of weeks ago, I bought a Toshiba SATELLITE CL10-B-103 for my son. The CL10-B-103 has installed Windows 8.1. Tonight I plan to make the installation of the Windows 10 upgrade because Windows 8.1 announced that he was ready for the upgrade.

    The trial progressed slowly but smooth and without problems until now... As the laptop is equipped with only an HD 32 GB the trial upgrade was informed that I had to stick a USB key. After that, the trial continues slowly but smoothly, but who did not question because I had all night. However after the first reboot of the system when he was about 60 or 66% of installation of process this error message showed: place the external storage and press OK. It's very strange since the key USB has been removed at all and was still in the system. It is strange, is that both the OK button as the Cancel button are not selectable. Without passing by the touchpad, not a tab or an entry.

    Some community online Windows 10 post mentions that, via the BIOS, the system must be initiated from this USB key. I tried to reboot the system with DEL, F2 or F8, but I couldn't get into the BIOS and wasn't able to change the boot sequence.

    After each "restart" the same error message appears. It does not matter that the USB is in it or not.

    So, my conclusion is that my CL10-B-103 is suspended/East in a loop. I don't know how to proceed.

    Please, I can really use some help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Because it seems that I can not only edit/change a message I am answering my own post now...

    The problem seems to be resolved. When I was able to use the touchpad I could push the OK butten and the upgrade product now.

  • Cannot copy Photos from external storage library

    I want to copy my library of Photos of my iMac to an external storage device. I use an SD card to copy the files on as is the storage device external only I with sufficient capacity to store my library (21,86 GB). When I run the copy, all right, but eventually it stops about 21.5 GB (do not remember the exact number). It comes up with the error message "the Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in"Photo library"cannot be read or written. (Error code - 36) ». The library contains a very important image and video files and while I don't have a backup of it on my Time Capsule airport, I added a lot of files since then. One thing I found on other messages of the forum is to repair my library by pressing the command and option that I opened the Photos but I'm afraid that something can go wrong or could not even solve the problem, however if someone thinks he can do the trick I will try it. BTW - the SD card works fine as I tested it on my MacBook Air and it works for other files on my iMac. I also tried using a different SD card but had the same problems. I am running OSX 10.11 version (The El Capitan Public Beta Candidate GM). The reason why I have not yet updated to my computer because I'm worried cause more problems with my library of Photos and, as I said, my only relief is most likely is obsolete. I use an iMac late 2013 and I have had no other problems with my computer, or I do now with the current version, I'm running. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and wish you a wonderful Christmas.

    What format is the SD card?  The photo library can be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (logged)

    and as for backups without a good current backup that you will lose data early as things do lack, including the hardware, software and human - you need a constant backujp as TimeMachine anytime

  • Mac Pro, Flash Storage, Dropbox, and external storage Solutions

    I am considering a Mac Pro to a computer in the enterprise. I hope someone can give an overview and experience with the dilemma of using a computer with a small amount of storage on board, dropbox and external storage devices.

    Background:

    Mac Pro storage on board - The Mac Pro has limited onboard storage. It comes with a 256 k flash memory and is apparently expandable to 512 or 1 TB. But, I can not even know where to buy the storage upgrade. For some reason, it seems even to be available for purchase on Apple's site. I can't understand how much it costs or where to buy it. I found a link showing how to install it, but that's all.

    Dropbox - Dropbox is an important part of the company, or at least my business. The tricky thing is that Dropbox doesn't seem to work very well if this does not work on an operating system main hard drive. I tried once on a Mac Mini Server, and it does not work well. I read on the Dropbox site that it doesn't work so well. The small amount of storage on board available for the Mac Pro means that it is necessary to use an external drive, which is fine with me, with the exception of the question of Dropbox. Is anyone here from an experience with this problem.

    External storage - the question here is as stated above. How to get an external drive on a Mac Pro, the operating system is not installed on, to work properly. I know that most people could read this and suggest to go to the website of Dropbox support for more information. I was able to do that and have nothing. Looking for Mac people who could potentially experience.

    In short, how the hell you upgrade Mac Pro flash storage... where do you get, and how much it costs?  And second, anyone experience using Dropbox on a Mac Pro, where the Dropbox folder is not located on the operating system drive.

    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    -Apple does not sell to replace internal storage.

    -You can often find storage on eBay and other places. However, isn't that all in storage for some MacBook Pro model will work in the Mac Pro is much slower. One way to tell is that the MacBook you do not have a heatsink on them while the Mac Pro.

    -You can buy external storage Thunderbolt. To access only a disc both an external case USB 3/disc is about as fast as Thunderbolt. Can get pregnant using the portable 2 1/2 standard SSD

    -I did not all the posts here for the use of DB on an external drive.

  • HP Envy 15-j139TX: the BIOS using external storage recovery does not work.

    My HP Envy 15-j139TX got stuck (frozen) and I force closure by long pressing the power button. I tried to start by pressing the power button, it shows a black screen (display off) and the capslock continues to Flash.

    I did research on the problem and discovered that the issue was "the BIOS corruption failure" according to the information on the link below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01732674/

    I tried to recover the BIOS using an external storage device by following the instructions at the link below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833

    But it did not work. The lights keep flashing. I have my files b.SC. thesis on the computer and their need for pronto. (If not my life is pretty well made)

    I also couldn't find the files for version 10 of Windows (64-bit) to my laptop, so I tried with one I downloaded from another site and I got a BIOS of Windows 8.1 HP site.

    Is there anyway I can fix it soon or get my files as soon as possible. Help, please!

    Have you ever updated the BIOS before?

    If you have, you should be able to recover the BIOS using the Windows key + key B method.

    All holding the key Windows + B button down, press the power button and wait to see if the laptop responds with a message of recovery of the BIOS on screen.

    As my wife continued his mastery, I insisted on his recording of his files periodically to our home network NAS.

    You can remove the hard drive and connect it to a desktop computer to get the files from it. You can connect the hard drive to a USB to sata cable to connect it to a laptop.   Instructions to access the disk by opening the back door are on page 42 of the maintenance and service guide. The hard drive is part replaceable by the user, so you don't have to worry about voiding the warranty.

    Your notebook is new enough to have the recovery key enter BIOS update available. Use the F.65 version in the Windows 8.1 driver download section. the softpaq is at the following ADDRESS.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp69501-70000/sp69886.exe

    You will need at least 256 MB usb key to create a USB rcovery to recover the BIOS with. BIOS update softpaq will offer the opportunity of creating a recovery USB. I used the method on multiple occasions and it worked for me.

  • Want T15 - J100 Quad Edition Tou: recover the BIOS of the laptop using an external storage device

    So, from the start of my screen is empty and Caps Lock flashes 2 times.  I tried the Windows key + B + power key without success as indicted here:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833?JumpID=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0003

    I tried to recover the BIOS with an external storage device but HP's Software and driver download page does not have BIOS updated.  I've updated for Windows 10.

    Where is the BIOS update that is supposed to be here? :

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-envy-15-J100-Quad-Edition-Notebook-PC-series/6521...

    This model seems to have a lot of problems with what I find it everywhere on the internet, but the solutions all return to the download of the update of the BIOS.  I noticed that I can download an update for Windows 8.1.  Are there not one for Windows 10 yet?  Can I use the 8.1?

    The BIOS in the list of drivers of Windows 8 is the last exit for your model. You can use it regardless of the operating system because the BIOS recovery is run outside of Windows.

    BTW-to help the Windows key + B keys. When you press and release the power button / continue to hold the buttons for a few seconds see if BIOS recovery screen appears. I know that it is different from the document - but try it.

  • WRT1900AC of external storage outside the Local network

    I'm trying to set up my WRT1900AC router to access a USB attached as an external storage device. I can access the drive when I'm on the LAN, but I had no success accessing outside my local network. I enabled the FTP option in the section of external storage. With the FTP option is enabled, it then points me to the IP address that my cable modem ISP attributed to the router (192.168.0.2). Obviously this won't work from the outside world because it is not the IPV6 address. I install my modem cable to the port before 21-the 192.168.0.2 address and tried to access from outside by using my address IPV6 (ftp://77.XX.XXX.XX:21) but it will not connect. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, as I obviously don't do something here.

  • WRT1900AC - external storage - not detected

    I have an external storage drive is not detected. I can plug in a USB key on the router and have found things. When I plug my external hard drive into the router, I get the name of the drive but the router does not detect the size, and I can't access the drive. The only error I get is on the Media Server tab when I click on add a new folder:

    /jnap/storage/ListSubdirectories -- Status: 200 OK

     Connection: close
     Content-Length: 37
     Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
    

    When I contacted Linksys support they said essentially that since my drive hard is not on their approved list, has nothing they will do to help understand why things don't work. I tried to plug my drive into a computer and everything works so I know the drive itself is good. It's just a matter of getting the router also detect the drive. The drive is formatted in NTFS.

    The router says it's firmware is up to date 1.1.10.167514. I tried to reboot the router. The only thing I have not tried yet is a factory reset.

    It solved!

    The only way that I came to this solution was to use Linux. When I tried to plug the drive into a machine Windows the drive appears fine, but when I plugged the drive on a Linux machine and tried to mount it, I got a message saying that he could not climb because of some windows something or other. I think it happened, I had originally this drive in a windows-based Office Tower. I probably throught windows stopped but in reality it is only in hibernation. So the left Hibernate trace settings on the drive after I unplugged and tried to plug it into the router. The solution was to reconnect the drive on the windows machine, make a clean shutdown and then try to plug in the router. Once the router has seen the car and ability. I still had to tell the router to restart so that other computers can access the network share, but in the end, everything works fine.

    I am just posting this in case someone else found this useful if they have they previously used on another computer in the car, do a clean shutdown before attempting to connect to the router.

  • WRT1900AC external storage and Windows 8.1

    I just upgraded this router after that Time Warner gave me a free upgrade to 200 Mbps.

    Everything is faster, make more SOON!

    My new laptop has got 206 Mbps 5.0 GHz Wireless.

    But, the laptop is running Windows 8.1, and I think it is the problem of external storage.

    I plugged a USB3 32 GB USB drive and a hard disk of 1 TB in USB1 and USB2, with the same result.

    On my desk, I see an icon for the Twonky Media Server and a folder of files to external storage.

    On my laptop, I see the Twonkymedia icon, but no folder.

    The laptop can music, videos and photos.  But there is no way to access any files outside media.

    The Office has a "Home" network, but the Windows laptop 8.1 has a "Private" network

    I put the laptop to share and can be transferred back and forth between the two computers.

    I don't see this as a case of breakage, but it would be nice to make it work.

    I have no experience network Windows 8/8.1.  I'm a fanboy of Windows 7.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
