• I have restored my hard drive for time machine

  You tried to delete the malware before you restore your system?  It is always better to do this first.  In addition, the backup that you used to restore your system before the malware infection has been took place?

  Edit: Go to system-> general Preferences.  Make sure that 'Close the windows when you exit an application' is checked.

• How to back up to external hard drive using time machine

  I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.

  This external hard drive works on other systems?

  The drive will appear in the top of the disk management window?  If so, look at the column layout, Type, file system and status.  The "file system" must be FAT or NTFS.  From your description, it appears that Windows does not recognize the partition as being to the format in a way that he can use.  You may need to delete the existing partition (attention: this will remove all files that may exist on the disk), and then create a new partition in FAT32 or NTFS format.  Advice to do this, right-click the disk, choose 'Help', then go to:
  -> How To disk management...-> manage the volumes of base-> Delete, Create, or Format.

• I have an external hard drive that I formatted using vista. I can't read this same hard drive with xp

  I recently formatted a WD external hard drive via my computer vista laptop. I downloaded several MB of files on the hard drive. My Vista laptop crashed and I need a new hard drive. I'm trying to access these files through my XP laptop. I see the DRIVE - "D". However, when I try to access the drive, what happens with "the disk in drive d is not formatted" do you want to format it now?

  That fixed my problem. I can now access this drive.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

• This external hard drive is compatible with my iMac 7.1?

  Hello, I intend to update my OS X, but first need to buy a hard drive to back up my files.  I found this one, but I don't know if it is compatible with my iMac mid 2007.  Can you please advise me if it will work?

  The external hard drive is this:

  1 to, G-Drive Mobile 5400 RPM, USB 2.0, 2.5 in.

  These are my computer specs:

  Model name: iMac

  Model identifier: iMac7, 1

  Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo

  CPU speed: 2 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  L2 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 1 GB

  Bus speed: 800 MHz

  Boot ROM version: IM71.007A.B03

  Version of the SCM (System): 1.20f4

  Serial number (System): W8 * X 85

  Material UUID: *.

  I know that USB 2.0 will be very slow, but I don't mind.  I've only used 1.4 GB of space on my computer anyway.

  Thank you

  In General, external hard drives are universal, so they will work with any computer.  The particular drive you say should work perfectly.

  You don't even have to format it because it comes pre-format for right of Mac Out of the box.

  Given that your Mac has only USB ports 2.0, he "does get a USB drive 3.0" Also the read speed of the internal hard disk will be always much slower than the speed of the USB 2 bus, so no need to have extra speed on the connection, you will not be able to use.  You probably won't notice it in any way.

• How to import bookmarks from an external hard drive?

  I exported my favorites from firefox on an external hard drive. Now I have a new laptop, but do not know how to transfer these back to firefox bookmarks.

  It is no different to import from a hard drive on your own machine. The external hard drive has a drive letter on the same way as a HD internal.

  Just use the reverse procedure, you made to export the file i.e. choose "Import HTML" instead of "export HTML".

  If you saved it in. JSON format, then choose 'Restore' in the menu "import and backup" instead.

• How do I back up to external hard drive that is not an available drive

  I have a Vista and my computer alerts me needs to back up, but fails because the "D" drive is full.  I did a cleanup and still not enough space.   I plugged my external hard drive and tried to return to the top, but this isn't an option to store up to only D.   How can I clean the drive as well as to add an external hard drive as a backup option?

  Hello

  D: is normally your partition recovery and between 5-15GBs in size.

  If the above is correct for your case, read this:

  Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

  1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

  F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

  You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

  2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

  Also ask them how to make records.

  Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

  There are backups on an external hard drive.

  To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

  See you soon.
