• Can I get my favorites on an external hard drive that I use as support? I have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.

  I've been backing up my computer with Windows 7 Home Premium on an external hard drive. I've been using manual backup when I plug the external hard drive. I tried looking for the folder of Firefox but can't seem to find it. He recorded with all of the other files and folders, and if so how do I enter it?

  Your Firefox profile would have the data. You can find it at:

  • C:\Users\ < Windows user/login name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile folder >
    • The file you want is called places.sqlite

  You can copy this file if you want to restore your bookmarks to your current Firefox back to C:\Users\ < Windows user/login name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile folder > and overwrite the current file. Keep in mind, this will delete your current bookmarks.

• Windows 7 asks Me to format the Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive I've used for more than a month

  I used Seagate FreeAgent as my external hard drive for more than a month now, but recently I am unable to access Windows 7 asks me to format it to use it. Somehow I can format the HDD without losing my data?  Or does perform a work around?

  Hi NuVille,

  Before perform us any of the steps, first of all I suggest you to create a backup of the data stored in your external hard drive on another computer.

  To save the data, you can connect your external hard drive on another computer and copy all the files and folders on the other computer. Later, you can connect the external drive to the Windows 7 computer and try to run the disk error checking and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Access the link below and follow the steps to check the drive for errors and fix it.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

  After completing the disc you error checking, try to check if you can access the drive.

  If the steps above do not I suggest you try to format the hard drive. Access the link below and follow the steps to format the hard drive.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

  Note: there is no way to format without losing any data on the disk. Formatting the drive will erase all data.  This is why you must back up the data before formatting the hard drive.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

  share external hard drive

  I am able to access my desktop to my laptop as part of a homegroup, but can not access the external hard drive that is attached to my office. I want to be able to back up my laptop hard disk external.  Advice please.

  geraintjo

  I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

• How to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

  I want to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the file already on it and not having to replace all the files each time. I just want to click and drag the folder to the external hard drive and have it add new files I've added in the folder on my pc over time on the external hard drive. It's annoying to have to replace alllll the files each time.

  Thank you!

  A simple way is to use the second copy of Centered.com software. It is reasonably priced and will do exactly what you want. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• trying to find compatible 1 TB external hard drive 2 TB capatible for backup of Lenovo T510

  I'm trying to understand what high speed 1 or 2 TB capatible external hard drive that I could buy - and if I can 'use' a USB 3 or if I'm stuck with USB 2.  Have you looked at LaCie and Verbatim discs... suggestions appreciated... I do not know what a PCIE card, etc. is...

  The Rosewill and others like it, are empty envelopes.  You install a HD 3.5 "SATA inside.  There are other - smaller - units that can use a 2.5 drive "a laptop.  These enclosures support different ways to connect to a laptop (or desktop): USB 2, 3 USB, eSATA, depending on the chosen box.  The boxes for disks 3.5 "have generally also a brick or"wall-wart"power supply.  2.5 boxes "sometimes do and sometimes are powered via the USB port.

  There are also many complete devices that provide an enclosure with a drive that is already installed.  They tend to be "prettier" and well integrated.  Also usually more expensive than a speaker + HD purchased separately (this varies) and in my experience, tend to run hot.

  You may prefer the comfort of a one-piece integrated solution, but I like the flexibility of an envelope + HD with my choice.

  [edit] The units come often (always?) with the included HD already formatted.  A speaker + HD provided by the user will require drive initializing and formatting.  A blank disc will at times be initialized in victory disk management by using the USB connection, before we see via the eSATA connection.  I don't know if it's a quirk of my speakers, readers, or Windows.  Just a heads-up.

• Do I need an external hard drive if I use iCloud?

  Do I need an external hard drive if I use iCloud?  I had used a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition, 500 GB, for the past 7 years.  It kept blinking and blinks so I unplugged probably too old.

  Now, I'm wondering if I should get another external hard drive or if iCloud does automatic backups.  I'm not too knowledgeable on these things and would appreciate help.

  I use a Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite.

  Thank you!

  Yes, you need an external hard drive to back up your Mac.  iCloud or iCloud library reader are not a backup of your data and documents.  Are the copy job. Get a new external drive with enough storage - Lear three times the size of the internal drive of your Mac and then set up Time Machine.

• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.
