  • A USB at low prices is not acceptable for long-term backup storage?

    I'm close to the graduation of my night school. Subsequently, I plan to upgrade my MCSA & MCDST MCITP and MCTS certifications. I use the ability to download all the stuff of Dreamspark while I still qualify so I'll still have access to the server.

    I would normally just burn these images on cd/DVD, but with virtual machines, it is generally easier to use the .iso images. I need a way to save as well as (stored in .txt files) product keys. I'm looking for the cheapest possible solution.

    Buy a USB hard drive for $50 at a "back-to-school" sales stories Office Supply would be viable for the long term storage? Those who are not really designed to be WORMs where I write once, and then paste it in a safe place with my original disks/CD/DVD (all since 1989) until I have more software to back up.

    In my opinion, a backup tape would be too expensive for my needs, flash drives large size are also expensive, DVD are too small or silly to burn a DVD with a single. ISO image.

    So buying an external hard drive seems the cheapest solution, but how that will hold up over time? I think it is bad that the reader will be much used and rest in a unique, rather than be spun position regularly.

    Don't forget that "backup" deduced it is a * second * copy data - not your original copy (only).

    Your concern brings up the fact that it shouldn't be so important to you anyway - if you don't think you'll use it very often. ;-)

  • . MOV for Long term

    I'm converting to digital using Roxio Video Capture video old VHS of my family. It works very well but is that the only question I have... .Mov format is good for long-term file storage? Should I upgrade to something more universally used like MP4?

    Your analog conversion rate is a source of poor quality in the first place, and you won't get anything else that standard definition quality no matter what your use container.

  • Long-term storage of inkjet all-in-one (F4480)

    Is there a good way to prepare for storing ink jet printers long-term (> 1 year) so that the jets get clogged?

    We have a F4480 deskjet all-in-one that has not been used in several months.  As far as I know it still works fine.  It has been stored in the original box & delivery packaging for 3 months.  We hope it won't be necessary for 1-2 years.  We had 2 former HP hoof to the top after a long period without use.  I said that they should be tested every month or two.  Do you need >

    This model integrates print on ink supplies heads, so in the worst case, you'll just need to replace the cartridges.  I think after a year or two ink supplies will probably dried out or clogged.   When you restore the printer to the service, you may be able to run up to three cycles of cleaning of the Toolbox.  Is there is an impression, but it is scratched or one or more colors are missing, then soak the nozzles of the cartridges down in about 1 "of very hot water for 10 minutes can recover the cartridges.

    The best plan would be to simply use the cartridges before long-term storage and then store the low or empty cartridges in the printer.

    For best results, store the printer with cartridges installed.  Be sure to turn off the printer to its power switch and wait for the cartridges to Park properly before removing the power.  Store the printer in a place cool and away from drafts, pets and other potential hazards.  Make sure that the printer is stored standing in its normal operating position.  Store the printer upside down or sideways or the end can cause problems.

  • HP Officejet 8000 - long-term storage

    Can anyone advise on the correct procedures for storing long-term Officejet printers.

    We have 24 printers altogether and use them in batches of 4 only for a week, they are stored until they are shipped to another location to be reused for a week.  Total time in storage could be 6 months.

    I don't want to print head and ink problems, replacement print heads and ink isn't ecenomical - its cheaper to buy a new printer.

    Hi Ian_JJ,

    You want to ensure is that printers are off using the power button. In this way, that the print heads can be installed on the service station. If the print heads are not well installed on station service that is when you can expect to get the ink dried in the print heads. This printer cartridges are there just to provide the ink to the print heads. Let me know if you need help.

  • is iCloud for storing long-term reliable?

    For storing long-term valuable family photos?

    It is an excellent product to store your valuable photos and videos, but notes, store them on all your devices.  iCloud is not a traditional backup cloud based storage platform.  In other words, you cannot remove photos from a device once they are stored in iCloud thinking you will save space this device because, once removed, it removes all devices.  If you agree with this, then sure, go ahead and use iCloud for your photos/videos.  If you are looking for a traditional backup cloud storage platform, consider these third party apps like Dropbox, Flickr or Google Photos (my favorite).  Good luck!

    As long as the power cord is in the laptop is working fine but remember failure and the phone goes dead. A spare battery can be found on eBay just to use your HP part number and find a match to use. If that fails, they have guaranteed replacement here to remedy. Battery is best kept with the laptop plugged for the reason that it has been done. You will unplug it to consider somewhere and if it is not a battery and it is on it will be able to instantly. Is that reason laptop is a laptop for a reason.

  • How long should take a battery to charge

    I have a Pavilion DV7-4029TX and that you have purchased a new battery MU09.  I find that the battery takes more than 6 hours when fully charged flat.

    I use the laptop during this period for applications of surfing and 'office '.

    Is it normal that the battery MU09 or y at - it something else like a defective power adapter that could be causing took so long to charge the battery.

    Thank you

    Mark

    Hello

    What is the power rating of your charger ? 90W charger, it normally takes up to 4hrs as fully charged. 65W charger time would take more time, up to 6-7 hours (overnight). Faster for MU06.

    Kind regards.

  • Script of long-term slow down my computer.

    OT: Long-running Script.

    I have a Windows 7 laptop. I get the message that I have a script of long-term slow down my computer. What exactly is that and how it stop?

    Could you give a little more detail please, if possible. For example when these pop-up messages? you're in a browser (Internet explorer?) when they occur, or do they appear just when you have nothing open on your desktop?

    IF they pop up when you use Internet Explorer, have a read of this to see if it gives indications - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/308260 (unfortunately, it's pretty long).

    Alternatively, you can try to disable the IE script debugger, but maybe it's more to hide the fault rather than fix, assuming it is useful at all.

    Open IE, tools, Internet Options, [Advanced] tab, click on "Disable Script debugging (IE) press OK, close IE and re - open it to see if its helped." There are also "Disable script debugging (other) to try to see if that helps." If they do not help, reset them.

    If this doesn't help not or if you need further assistance, please post back and someone will try to help.

  • Long term preservation

    Work on a project that requires a retention period of 40 years.  Are there assurances that all versions of Acrobat Reader will be fully backward compatible?

    PDF is an ISO standard, designed for the storage of long-term archival. He is not an owner of Adobe format and Adobe isn't the only vendor or provider consultation PDF, workflow, and/or printing software.

    I should also add that many if not most Governments, research / educational institutions and industry uses PDF for archiving to archive long-term documents.

  • HP laptop G72: Battery only charge while turned off.

    Hello, employees and others on the forum, I have a problem with my laptop currently battery. Are examples.

    -Does not load when turned on, but cool when turned off.
    -Port charger LED flashes between orange and white when it is off. (Although, when turned on the orange blink.)

    I tried the method of discharge. (Disconnect the battery and Charger AC/DC, hold the power button / stop for about 30 seconds, then plug the battery back in and re-clogging the AC charger.) I had a problem with other methods, like I can't turn on the computer without the battery. I actually had this for 4 years and the warranty is already dissipated and it still works very well, except for the battery, so I don't want to lose, so if you could help me fix my laptop, that would be great! Thanks in advance if the problem is resolved.

    4 years is about the max for laptop battery life. However, it should run/work with even without battery. You seem to have a defective power adapter - they wear out too.

    Get your full model number or product and use it here to find the model of necessary power for your laptop adapter. Even if they don't have in stock, you should be able to find a way... Amazon, eBay, etc.

  • How stable is the long term outputs analog USB-6008?

    The USB-6008 datasheet do not specify the stability long term of the analog inputs and outputs.

    I'm looking for stability compared to the ambient temperature and time (several months to a year), mainly for the outputs or the D/A reference voltage.

    Is there any information available?

    Thank you.

    The precision specification takes into account the evolution both because of the temperature and duration (stable).  Thus, for the period of a year that we guarantee these specifications, which list you is correct.  However, apart from the period of one year since the calibration, this specification may be is more inaccurate.
