I have been using this Toshiba 750 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive to clone my computer with NTI echo regularly, but now I want to use the player to launch mirror Carbonite image on. Because the player was not visible under 'Computer' on my machine, I tried the portable player to the computer for Windows 7 to my wife where it displays correctly and I was able to do a full format of the portable drive. Despite this, my computer is not displayed under 'Computer' portable player, but it appears under "devices and printers"... Thank you for your understanding!
Thank you for your helpful answer. I tried all through and including uninstall NTI Echo without any resolution.
During the process, I found myself 'Computer management' which includes 'Disk management' where I saw the external hard drive in 'offline' status due to a conflict of signature. I clicked to the external drive to go "online" and now, it seems to work fine and is visible to E:
Thank you, once again!

Is it safe to remove files from my macbook air now that I have set up my time capsule and backed up with time machine? My boot drive is full. How can I access files of my time capsule once they are deleted from my computer?
1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.
2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

Have a 2007 Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon (OS 10.7.5). Today both screens started having strange pixelated, modes of travel, and we can not access files or applications.
Thought that maybe the video card went bad, but would not be prevented from using the apps, or click files would it? Have to keep restarting the box. Working temporarily, then pixilation and locked files races again.
Ideas or suggestions? Don't know how to solve problems
Thank you!
Sara
-What video card is installed?
I suspect that the pixilation is due to a video card problem.
Open the cover, with Mac off nd unplugged and clean inside. If the map includes a fan make sure it turns freely.

The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.Also check with the site of the manufacturer of your router, because they will have in-depth details on how to

Can't access the "devices and printers" in Windows 7

Hello I am downloading from my site and my characters are messy. I type an e (taken glyphs-window), but what appears is an and the copyright sign? can someone tell me how I get rid off this?
I tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to make a difference.
In my view, they have already done for you...
The site seems OK now. Hooray !
But let's dig down to the serious things of this.
If the browser needs a statement of character. Probably ' UTF-8 ', but another or an older one would be as well, as long as it's cheap, and it respects the method of characterization of the Web page.
This statement can be provided by (1) the web server itself (its default value), (2) the htaccess file in your web root directory server, or (3) on each web page. Where there are several and contradictory statements perhaps, the older in the command above rules. But in the case where the Server and the htaccess do not provide a statement of character and your web page later on, it shouldn't be a problem.
Your provider said that they do not have a such context in their web server, and it wasn't a htaccess file in your root folder (Muse is not create it for you). Once again: do not worry, it should always be no problem, because all your web pages provides the declaration as well (thanks to Muse). We have checked that, no doubt.
That is where their claim is not accurate. BTW: many tips are on the Internet on the common practice in this area and they all advice that the htaccess is not the place more obvious to the declaration. The page is the best place to put it.
W3C (the 'boss' of http and html)
some general information:
Choosing & applying a character encoding
putting in a .htaccess file:
Definition of charset in .htaccess information
and finally, put on the page:
Declaring character encodings in HTML
But what is even more strange: I checked the web server of your provider to access this service online, and it seems that their server is to provide a framework (and it is UTF-8, fortunately). It's the opposite of what they have been say...
Now I have the idea of some personal provider noticed this morning that their server wasn't working properly (maybe after a failure of server or another incident or failure), serving the pages with a wrong setting. Then maybe they quickly corrected, and not to let you know that, they tell you to put in place this htaccess file (which makes no difference, just as the declaration of your page also could not prevail in the setting of the server).
So now, you are done with all the three statements: a parameter, a htaccess in your Web site folder and that of your server page. As long as they all say and expect the same (UTF-8) you don't have to worry about this.
Problem solved, three times!
PS: many accommodation providers (and I'm afraid that yours as well) tend to declaring that whatever they do is 'standard' and 'obvious'. While in many situations, it's always a little different and certainly not the standard, not to mention obvious...

How can I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my devices and printers?
How can I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my devices and printers?

CutePDFWriter is a third-party application, which Adobe does not provide support for. But, I found the following on their website:
"Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).
You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15. »
Here is a link to their Web site:
CutePDF: Products: CutePDF Writer
So it seems that it creates a PostScript file for you, but then you need additional software to convert the PostScript to PDF file.

I installed an application under virtual pc and I use the application and generate files. I can't access the files with the windows Explorer 7 - and windows Explorer cannot find in a search. I know they are there but they are "virtual".
Here are two ways to get Windows 7 to access files created in Windows XP Mode:
1. the XP Mode virtual machine automatically assign a drive letter to each of the disks to the Windows 7 computer. You can store files directly on these discs.
2. you can share disk of the XP mode virtual machine and access it as a network drive in Windows 7. Boulder computer Maven
