  I have a computer with Windows XP and I just bought a computer with Windows7, can I transfer files to the new computer by using an external hard drive?  If so, how?

  Hi BarbKe

  Try to use this tool, it's called Windows easy transfer, I don't know if it works with an external hard drive or if you want to just manually, you can transfer the file using the method of copy paste...

  Soon as your App Photos or iPhoto lost track of your photo library, or there has not been migrated from your old drive. You can create an empty library and probably enable iCloud photo library for photos to upload to the cloud.

• How is it you can't use more than 126 GB of a 1.5 TB with LabVIEW Real-time hard drive?

  How is it you can't use more than 126 GB of a 1.5 TB with LabVIEW Real-time hard drive?
   
  It's only 8.3% of disk space!

  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/E7E2F5657B6026358625750B007201A6?OpenDocument

  The national Instrument is reformat that you drive less than 126 GB or replace the drive with a less than this size.

  Please OR tell me you go fix your LabVIEW Real Time soon, and that we will not have to wait for LabVIEW RT 9.2.1 in 2011 for this one to fix.

  http://upload.wikimedia.org/Wikipedia/Commons/9/90/Hard_drive_capacity_over_time.svg

  Readers as high as 126 GB or more have been around since mid-2002.  It's about 7 years now and LabVIEW Real-time STILL cannot use greater than 126 GB drives!  Please OR.  Do something.

  We deserve the patches for older versions of LabVIEW RT.  What about updates to LabVIEW RT.  As 7.0.2 7.1.2 7.6.2, 8.0.2, 8.2.2, 8.6.2.

  We don't need new features or versions of LabVIEW RT as 9.0 until we have some of the bugs fixed in existing versions.

• How to save a calendar I created with the photo and the dates recorded on separate pages?

  How to save a calendar I created in photoshop with the photo and the dates recorded in the form of two separate pages?  When I save in pdf or jpeg, they are automatically save 1 pg with dates and photos on a single page.  This is causing problems when I print.

  Hi there, in which case your printer is not very large, you can also trim down the two versions and print them as separate documents.

  (1) create a guide where you want to split the pages by clicking on the rule (hit control R if they are not displayed) and dragging to the desired location.

  Create the Guide to make it so be precise in the way which divide you your page, and so that no part of the image will be repeated or lost.

  

  (2) select the Cropping tool and adjust the area of culture at half top of your agenda, using the guide you have just made to align with the right place. Press return to complete the harvest.

  

  (3) go in file > save as the. Name the file something like calendar_top and select the desired file format. Press "Save".

  

  (4) once you return to your calendar file, go to the history Panel and select 'Guide to flirting This will bring you to step before you cropped the image.

  

  

  (5) repeat the steps as before to the bottom half of the schedule, once more, using the guide to help you make your growing area.

  

  

  

  Then you would just print each of the two pages individually. The images does not appear in a single document, but if you have Acrobat you could combine the files.

  I hope this helps!

  How to get Vista recovery Media to back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• How did you just watch and see which files/folders are already on the portable hard drive?

  Trying to access the site just to get a glance at what already on the disk. Haven't used in years. Think that it could possibly be this hard, never be you making fun of me!

  Hello Koolbreeze7,

  I'm not sure of the method that you use to access your external drive, but regardless of the type of drive, it's (portable hard drive, USB key, etc.) they are all accessible fashion.

  It works on all versions of Windows.

  Connect the USB hard drive. A driver installed the first time you use it.
  

  Click Start, then computer and double-click it to open it.
  

  You should see similar to this image of hard drive icons.

  

  When you plug the laptop drive, another icon of the disc is added to your list. This is the icon you open to access the content.

  If a new drive icon does not appear when it is connected, your computer does not recognize the drive and so you will have to go through the steps of troubleshooting of the error.

  Here is a video showing the same thing on a XP machine.

• My iCloud is full and I would like to spend on 5000photos on the hard drive and then remove them to iCloud.  How do you do that?

  My iCloud is full and I want to transfer most of my 5000 images in the cloud on the hard drive on my iMac which is about 10% of storage capacity.  How can I do this?  Thank you

  1. Photos > Preferences > iCloud > iCloud (original Dungeon) photo library
  2. Wait for them to download

  If you want to remove the cloud, you can do two things:

  System Preferences > iCloud > manage > photo library > remove and disable

  or

  iCloud.com > pictures (select and delete)

  Please note, however, if you enable iCloud library again at any time in the future on your Mac, all the photos on your Mac will download again. You may find that buying more space iCloud is the best answer for you.

• Hello. I created an image of HD main on a hard drive external drive. It is: HD used 282 GB 320 GB, disk backup image has 251 gb. Is all backed up? Can anyone help on this? Thank you

  Hello. I created a disk image of my mac HD on an external hard drive. It is: my mac HD is used 282 320 GB, backup disk image, I did a 251 gb. Is all backed up? I need to be sure before you reformat the HD and install mac so original. Can anyone help on this? Thank you

  Probably not.

  Need an external hard drive as large or larger than the drive you want to back up.

  You have not said what backup software you are using.

  I use Carbon Copy Cloner by https://bombich.com/ $40.00 there. You can also use Super Duper.

  These two products will make a bootable backup complete or a clone of you existing hard drive, including your recovery partition.

  Once you made the backup, if your hard drive has never been to fail, you could simply start on the external backup drive.

  If you back up because you're upgrading the hard drive for an SSD, you can put the SSD in an external enclosure and clone your drive in the SSD, test it, and then replace the HD when you are confident that it works well.

  P.S. External hard drives are cheap these days. Here is an example: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-external-usb-3-0-2-0-portab le-hard-drive-classic-black/7869174.p? id...

• How can I connect a HARD drive external through terminal to display a hidden folder.

  I keep all my important data in a dmg encrypted in a folder hidden in my mac (I know, I'm a little paranoid), long story short, my mac HARD drive wiped. Luckily I had a backup, but is on an external HARD disk and the file is still hidden, I can't understand how to access (I have tried to view all the hidden files on my mac, did not work). So the question is, how to find the folder hidden on my external HARD drive? I have done it before by terminal but forgot the command. >:| BTW, I'm in Yosemite.

  Thanks in advance.

  invisible files begin with a.

  CD to the directory where the file is located.

• How to restore vista OPS hard drive external bitlocker encrypted after main disk failure

  I am running Vista Ultimate and my main hard drive is encrypted by Bitlocker.  I use the backup utility in Vista for backup of that my drive hard main set on a USB attached hard drive which is also encrypted by Bitlocker.  In a case of failure of the primary hard drive and installing a new hard drive, how can I restore my main hard drive (the new drive) to the USB attached bitlocker encrypted external hard? My vista ultimate OPS has been upgraded to the origin of vista home premium and so I did not have the ultimate Setup DVD disk.  I have the disk of vista Home premium.

  Create a recovery disk that the restoration of the backup complete on this topic option (including family Vista drive premium will be not because this option is only available on the Enterprise and Ultimate versions)-should not do anything on bitlocker on it (which will take care of itself during the restore process unless you configure to use a flash drive for protection - then the flash player is also required {but) not a recovery disk different}).  You can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (including backup complete PC Restore).  Be sure to get the drive to boot correctly - there are several ways to make records and this requires a way for it to work (but those that are included in the manual or on the website).

  For more information, here's a great article on bitlocker with Vista.   It does not exactly cover your question, but it is very instructive in the process and the technology (and might help you if you are facing a problem on the road) and its good information to have if you use bitlocker (which can be difficult and can cause problems of recovery if you do not just because of the extra complication of encryption (backup and restore). http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.06.bitlocker.aspx.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
