How to extend the life of my MacPro 2006 1.1?

I'm hoping to extend the life of my 2006 MacPro1.1, whose startup disk has developed a Squeak. I have received conflicting advice from vendors on a possible solution and would like knowledgeable opinions.

Here is a partial configuration:

A Macintosh 500 GB HDD with 87 GB available.

A hard disk of 1 TB with 332 GB

A hard disk of 2 TB with 1.3 to

I'm running OS X 10.6.8

Is 6 GB memory

My Time Machine backup measures about 1.8 to

Option 1. A local store recommended I have delete the 2 TB drive and restore the backup any here, which makes my new startup disc. My concern is that there is very little free space on this drive and an already slow computer would become even slower.

Option 2. A seller of phone encouraged me to replace my 500 GB hard drive with an SSD, which according to him would be much faster than what I have now.

You choose Option 1 or 2, or another altogether?

Thank you very much

Peter

The hard drive containing the boot the Mac volume has failed and must be replaced. An SSD is an interesting option.

  • How to extend the life of battery U410?

    Hey guys,.

    Just buy an IdeaPad U410 a few days ago. I tested the battery life, and it's pretty decent after uninstalling Smart Update (5-6 hours of occasional use).

    However, due to my previous experience in the use of computers, Toshiba and Acer laptops, I'm afraid that self-government will reduce very quickly if I continue to load. How you guys deal with this problem? Is it possible to get another 5-6 hours of battery after, say, 1 year of owning this notebook?

    (And I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I don't really know much about computers, haha)

    Thank you!

    Please, open energy management, go into the settings of battery and check optimize for life. This will require less capacity but the battery life would greatly increase the laptop.

  • How to extend the life of a film?

    I am new Director and have not been able to get my full video to play. When I publish the .exe, the video will play only 32 000 frames. However, it is about 350 000 frameworks. I was able to extend its length, but it will only allow me to choose the 32 000 as a thin frame. Please advise...

    You must add a script to the script to frame channel by telling the playback head to loop through a single image or series of images. If extend you your video sprite this image below script it will play until the end.

    If you open your library Palette (menu: window-> library Palette) and navigate the palette for Navigation behaviors using the library drop-down list at the top left of the palette, you can drag 'Loop to go' or 'Hold the current Frame' behaviour in your script in the score lane (channel immediately above where the head of reading and chassis numbers) are visible)

  • make a slideshow in movie maker, how to extend the duration of a photo of a single image

    make a slideshow in movie maker, how to extend the time image (time peak is seen) a single image that is different from the default time?

    I posted the Live Movie Maker tutorial because
    your question is posted in a forum for Windows 7.

    In Vista Movie Maker 6... There are three ways
    to change the duration of a specific picture that
    is already on the timeline.

    FWIW... the change of setting to: Tools / Options /.
    Advanced... tab applies only to the added clips
    to the timeline * after * you change the setting.

    (1) you can increase or decrease the duration
    a specific image by adding an effect:

    'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

    "Slow Down, half ' double life.

    These effects can be added up to six times.

    (2) for the timeline... you can change the
    duration for each clip manually. Move your
    pointer on on the edge of an element up to the
    you see a double arrow. Now, drag the
    double red arrow... you will see a ToolTip that
    Watch the evolution of life.

    (3) the term may photo on the timeline
    easily be doubled by simply adding another
    an instance of the same photo next to him.

  • Extend the life of the battery

    What is the best way to extend the life of the battery of my laptop? It seems that different sites have different recommendations.

    (1) should take you your battery whenever your laptop using power? Or only after only 2 weeks of all continuous power (like the HP website seems to recommend)?

    (2) how many times should I condition the battery?

    (3) when you use your battery, should be completely empty before recharging again to capacity?

    Thank you very much! All tips are very much appreciated.

    Hello

    (1) should purchase your battery if it will be put off for two weeks.

    (2) you need to calibrate your battery once a month

    (3) calibrate your battery takes care of this.

  • Qosmio X 500-165 - how to extend the C drive?

    Just bought the Qosmio X 500-165. Does anyone know how to extend the C drive, I get a sign that it is almost full, despite installing all my programs on the partitioned disks that I created? I need to uninstall the software installed by toshiba?

    Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    The 500-165 X is equipped with 64 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB. I don t know the exact partition structure but I assume that Windows is installed on the SSD which is the C drive and HARD drive is your second drive D.

    I recommend to move all files such as photos, videos, music, drive D to improve disk space on c. usually 64 GB SSD should be sufficient for all applications because Windows 7 needs only 20 GB.

    Also, try to reduce the system restore points and delete temporary folders. CCleaner can also help you to clean your system. :)

  • How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme Base Station (802. 11 a, c) using a relay of Airport Express (802.11n).  Airport Utility (V635.2) says that this version does not support the relay.  That is what it is?

    How can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme (802. 11 a, c) using an Airport Express (802.11n) point.  Airport (V635.2) utility does not recognize the Express on its screen?  I have to buy equipment?  I'm on a MacPro OS X 10.10.5.  Thank you.

    AirPort utility that ships with OS X 10.10.5 supports base stations as 802.11ac & 802.11n AirPort. It should be able to configure both of your base stations for a scope (wireless connected base stations) or roaming types (base station connected Ethernet) wireless networks.

    When you initially configure the Wan, it helps to keep the two base stations in the same room. Once configured, you can move the base station that extend to the desired location. The important key is that the final positioning of the station that extends the base must be understood that it's to expand in order to maintain sufficient bandwidth to the station remotely for clients from network connected. Please check the following airport user tip for more details.

  • How to maintain the life of your printer

    It seems more common that everyone feared how to maintain the service life of the cartridges from the printer itself.  As many variations of parameters and environment may play a role in how long your ink will actually last. A more official document can be found here about the science behind the ink, how to use it and how to make it last longer.  I will get into issues that affect the overall performance and life cycle of the printer.  I recommend to use the Startup ink supplied with the printer until he is gone because it contains chemicals of this condition and prolong the life of the print head for future use.

    I urge users to keep the printer connected directly to a wall outlet (namely for troubleshooting purposes). As with all electronics that are showing signs of failure, you can start with the power source if one really wants to follow the flow of a schema logic.  By eliminating the devices that can not to themselves, you removed a piece more equipment from the equation.  A more specific reason would be due to electromagnetic interference.  Wireless devices are vulnerable to interference with symptoms like error messages of false, lines in digital images, strange noises and frequent jams.

    Surge protectors must regulate the power distributed to each connected device.  It is possible that the printer is not the right amount of power and may fail as the printer power problems in hibernation mode with more features like duplex printing, it is impossible to recover , cable USB not detected and the light on the module displaying a yellow instead of green.  If the module and the surge protector are fighting for the control, it can cause a variety of problems that could easily be repaired by plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

    The next major issue many users face is the print head.  It is as well as the maintenance of ink as well.  It is important to clean the print head and the best way to do that is to use it and keep the good ink in the printer.  Over time, the chemicals can not even begin to change or develop air bubbles in the cartridge.  Not to mention, ink (well pigmented) still contains fluids that can evaporate if the printer is not rooted and off properly when not in service.  Of course, some of the processes of preparation printer used when the power of the printer can use very valuable ink, but, on the other hand, it's good for the life of the printhead to leave these processes to perform according to its specifications.

    The print head is composed of tiny nozzles and parts fragile this is why it is also one of the most expensive areas of the printer.  Most printers contain many self-cleaning utilities which is recommended to regularly (I suggest at least once a month) to help keep the printhead clogging and causing stains on the sheet itself. There are a number of unconventional methods to try once the printhead has dried up in fact, but when you try these steps you may totally break the part.

    Dust and smoke particles can also cause problems with the print head, but the printer entirely.  It is often the main killer of electronics as well as hairs and animal dander, dirt from moisture and humidity, paper for printer cheap and sand.  The air is full of impurities and really can not be prevented.  Preventive measures can be taken with dehumidifiers and a uniform cleaning, but over time, there is no real way to prevent it from happening.  Dust and air blowers have been known to cause not only solders to separate but may deposit particles of dust in places that could actually damage the printer entirely.  Instead, a favorite device is known as an empty computer.  It helps to remove the fine dust in the sense just that pushing forward into the printer.

    Paper jams also cause many more problems if is not removed correctly. HP recommends pulling the paper in the direction of the gears.  When removing a paper jam, you won't hear a grinding because it leads finally to the teeth are stripped like a screw, but simply once fully detach one of these devices. It is virtually impossible to fix a paper roll or similar because all parts are connected to each other and not sold in parts stores.

    At the back of most HP printers, you can remove the rear access door or duplexer (double-sided printing device) and easily join the paper in this way.  If you see the paper jam is located next to the Board, and then remove the piece from the back and take the paper with both hands to apply a gentle tug of same, and you should have no problem in removing the paper in this way.

    Paper quality can play a large role in the life of your printer.  Cheap paper can free of paper dust up into the gears and small machinery within the printer and are very difficult to clean.  Print incorrect parameters and issues related to food can cause the paper to stay in places that are not as easy to do.  In this case, remove the paper as long as slowly and patiently as possible to avoid them ripping out pages in places like between the wheels under the printhead and also causing error messages that will not disappear.  When troubleshooting printers, patience and troubleshooting documents will also help you keep your printer running longer.

    The printer doesn't like to not be put off by anything other than the power button.  I have always recommended the printer off when not in use (at least for long periods of time) to help keep the ink dry and high printing quality.  The reason why it is not recommended is because people will be unplugging the printer, while he is doing something and the negative effects that this might have some alignment problems serious, burn the computer chips and components similar to that in computers, fake error messages and possibly bricking of the printer if done at the wrong time.  Resets hard are great troubleshooting steps, but the abuse of this feature can result in irreparable damage.

    Fanning the paper before put you in the status bar is a good practice. About 25 sheets are perfect, because an overload of the status bar may also cause paper jams.  The paper guides of setting and selecting the appropriate paper type will put the science behind these settings wisely. Don't put paper in the tray while the printer is printing, crumpled, dirty, or coexist paper types and paper clips are all things to avoid.

    Software and communication issues deserve a section all to themselves.  The measures to prevent problems of this kind could not covered in a post, let alone a chapter.  The best thing to do to increase the performance and connectivity is to set a static IP address in the URL embedded in the printer if the printer is set up on a network (steps to do this are different from the printer to the printer).  USB cables must not be more than 3 meters long and kept in good condition as well as the power supply cord.  Keep your valuables out of reach of children and buy an extended service plan for many reasons.  You can enjoy all the services offered with a service plan in the case of a defective printer or simple product questions.  Keep the firmware up-to-date and to read reviews before you buy any electronic device.

    After reading this, I'm sure you're aware, that's all common sense, but at the time where you do not consider one of these suggestions you think back and wonder "if I had taken 10 seconds longer to avoid that I wouldn't spend 2 hours more set.»  Mistakes are made when frustrations and lack of care.  These are not delicate machines that deserving the highest shelf in the bathroom, but an understanding must be met, that once it's broken this avoidable?

    Troubleshooting of many documents can be found at www.hp.com/support.  They must be followed in order to avoid the repetition of the steps, steps unnecessary and causing more frustration.

  • Extend the life battery?

    Hey everybody,

    I am curious about the batteries in the execution of X220T and how do I extend my battery life; I don't want to not increase the duration of each charge, but rather keep it in relatively good condition 2-3 years on the road. What kinds of things will help or harm the health of my battery? I never interruption fee until he tells me is finished loading, and I try to remove the battery every time I use it plugged in for long periods of time. Do these effective things, or am I just kidding myself and put unnecessary strain on the battery latch?

    Thank you all for your help in advance!
