Question on the copy of VMs

To make it easier to create new virtual machines, I create VM for Windows XP SP3 with my basic installed tools.  Fusion 1.X and 2.X I would then use VM Converter to create a new virtual machine based on my initial VM, and then I want to costumize it for the particular use.

My first question is: if I do it with a virtual machine created by 3.x and using the older converter of the VM (3.0.3) created virtual machine will behave like a VM 2.X or a VM 3.X with respect to optimization of disk (this is Windows XP)?

Second question is about why to use the VM converter in the first place, instead of simply copying the virtual machine.  I do only because I couldn't find a way to change the name of the file, so both can be in the same folder, without merging is unfortunate (the file name is also used by a number of files in the package).  Is there a way to make the easy way without VM converter?  I re-read these two documents, but did not find an index:

I use the "make a separate copy of the virtual disk", but disk (vmdk) inside the packaging files holds the file names of the original virtual machine, that it creates a potential problem? I guess not, because the files are inside the package, but I would be sure.

No, the description is clear that making a separate copy eliminates conflicts.

"Your guest operating system is Windows XP, and you have one or more SCSI virtual devices installed in your virtual machine."

and there is a url to download the new driver.  But when I followed the url I have access to a general download page and I can't find the file (it's probably staring me in the face).  The original virtual machine was created in Fusion 3.0.0 and I don't get the message when opening, so it seems that the driver should be there?

The driver is included in the virtual machine, there is no need to download another copy.

Or should I just use IDE drives to avoid this problem?  I remember I chose a SCSI drive for my vm is because that the were more compatible with some of the environments, but I'm only using my vm on the Mac and occasionally in windows.

SCSI is more compatible with other products, particularly products of the company as ESX/ESXi.  Fusion supports the same features as work/drive post and vice-verse.

  • Question on the "Copy" option in Adobe Sketch App

    The copy option does not have a copy of my sketch. How can I duplicate a sketch in Adobe sketch?

    Thanks for any help someone can offer me.

    Hi, Laura,.

    Here is the method that works for me. When you are at the project level in Sketch 3 (with individual arrays displayed), it is possible to select an individual sketch canvas and reproduce them. At the top right (above), you will see an icon with a rectangle and a pen. Press it and it will change to a check box. You can now press the icon (with three small lines) on a canvas to select. The painting will now be selected. Look up in the menu and you will see rectangles with the + (copy of the icon). Tap it to duplicate the selected canvas. The duplicate will appear in the project post to the original.

    I hope it's useful.

    Question for the geniuses of pictures only.

    You see, I started with iPhoto and later began to use Aperture.  With iPhoto and Aperture, you can have ALL the metadata below the thumbnails, (nice).  Well, I put all my images descriptions in the keywords section because it didn't really matter, because these programs could show them as thumbnails.

    Now, I use this wonderful program of Photos and I found out that it will ONLY show the title of"the image in the thumbnails.  I've got on 30 000 images with keywords but no title.  I want to move / copy the text in the keywords section in the section of the title. I'm not a computer scientist, I guess that my skills are in average.  But I can follow directions.

  • A few questions about the recovery image installation

    A recovery USB drive created using the Recovery Media Creator contains the Windows operating system and is it the Windows key to reinstall - how it is activated. Is it different for the repair disk.

    Can be used for a new installation of Windows 7 on a new SSD? Is this just a case of connection and the recovery disc running on the new drive to th? How the recovery Partition can be re-created on a new SSD?

    Drop Hello

    I can see user Justinian gave detailed answers, and I hope you understand how it all works now. Of my overwiev aside:

    What exactly is recovery image?
    + Recovery image is an exact copy of a hard drive and contains the exact copy, byte by byte, a hard disk partition. The copy includes all the partition information, sectors priming, the table of allocation of files, installation of operating system and software application different. +
    + You are using installation Recovery CD/DVD/USB, you can restore your system after heavy data loss, caused by an accident of operating system, hardware failure or complete virus attack. +
    + Recovery image installation procedure allows the installation of system and easy to user. Unfortunately, it is not possible to restore only certain files from a disk image. +
    + Each recovery image is designed for a specific model laptop and it cannot be used for any other series of notebook. +

    With other words, recovery image is a software package that contains Windows operating system, all the drivers needed for some portable model, Toshiba tools, utilities, and also some other software. A lot of people don't like these additional software, but no you don't have to use it. all things you don't like you can remove it from the system.

    Activation of recovery image:
    When you buy the phone model you also purchase the license for the preinstalled OS version that you get with your machine. After start and contact to the internet OS will be checked and activation will be valid.

    Please note: you can reinstall original image recovery 100 times if necessary. There is not a kind of limitation, and whenever it will be activated.

    Take care of your recovery media (DVD/USB). Do not lose it.

    Of course, it can happen that you do not find your recovery media. In this case you can order.

  • Question about the recovery partition

    Hello.

    I have a question about the recovery of HARD drive partition.

    If I do the operation to clear the hard disk option in the wizard it will remove * all * or it will keep my partition recovery in this way I can come back later. I want to know because I would like to put on a different OS.

    I know he said he would, but caution in the PDF, I found it says that on a normal recovery too (that he would remove each partition) and I'm a little confused about how the recovery actually worked.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly with this option to erase.

    In General, Toshiba Recovery disk will wipe your entire HDD to restore factory settings correctly. This means that if you start from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be removed.

    In addition, the recovery disk doesn t create a recovery partition. It is not available. Disk copy just the files on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery to start an installation of HARD drive recovery.

    My current approach is Cmd-Shift-3 or Cmd + Shift + 4, take the screenshot, open in preview, select all, copy, return to remove Word, paste, the screenshot file, then repeat. There must be a more efficient way to work.

    Fujitsu Windows 7 laptop (all USB2)

    The printer installed fine and don't have USB connection

    All the software and scanning twain installed, so I was able to scan the copy etc.

    I could browse and choose my PC from the front panel of the printer

    However, it was Tuesday confirmed to a friend that their printer would work on a new laptop - bought the laptop

    Fujitsu - but more recent model with 3 USB ports

    I have install and then used the same FULL configured driver to be installed (V14)

    selected as a network printer and then, during the installation, I get an error hardware error USB and USB drivers

    All the USB works, that I've used - BUT the printer is networked and no USB used

    tried to download the driver and install it-exactly the same question

    SO I configure using the devices and printers 'add printer' network and installed

    I can print OK

    BUT no analysis facilities

    and on the façade - cannot see the new PC to scan to

    DO not know why on a network installation USB even when searching for

    It's a problem because Drivet package not has not been updated for USB3 - y at - it a patch?

    Thanks for any help / advice

    Hi etaf,.

    I guess the short answer is: Yes, the problem with the software and the 3.0 Port.

    The long answer with a possible work around is as follows: first of all, the software looks for minimum requirements. Because the software is older, he doesn't know what a 3.0 port. You are right when you say that it should work since you do not use the USB and use wireless instead, but this is not the case.

    There is something we can try, but I can't guarantee it will work. I thought first we could connect a USB cable and run the software made to force the software to see the USB port, but then the software wouldn't even get far enough because you can't plug the cable to the most later in the installation.

    My second thought and most promising suggestion is to connect the USB cable (although we do normally not until the software prompts us to) and use the installation wizard HP Print to get the insteaad of software to use the CD or download from the printer driver page. Still, I can't say with certainty that it works, but I don't see why it would not be worth a try.

    If it works, and we get the software installed you can convert the USB connection to a wireless connection using the software. Fingers crossed! Download and run the with the following link. Printer HP install wizard for Windows

    If this does not work, or you don't want to bother with it (not worth trying), I might consider getting a new model of the printer. You can even call HP. They might be able to offer a discount on a newer model. If you are in the Canada, U.S. dial 800-474-6836 or you can Contact HP worldwide.

  • Stupid question of the Stick wireless about Photos

    I have successfully connected to the device so that it communicates with my Iphone 6. I transferred photos from my Iphone on the joystick (copied) successfully wireless via WIFI.

    My question is, manually delete the photos on my Iphone in order to make room? Or y at - it an option to automatically delete after the /copy transfer operation?

    Also, the transferred files are uncompressed copies and 100% of the Iphone?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you manually transfer the pictures, you need to remove manually your native photo app after the transfer to free up space.

    in the settings there is an option for backup camera. If you use this option the camera will automatically backup whenever the application is started. This option also includes an option to remove images after backup.

    If you choose to delete the images deleted after backup will be in the recently removed from your application folder native photos for 30 days. If you need to free space immediately, you must open the native photo app and manually delete the pictures in the folder recently deleted to free up space.

    the files are exact copies of the jpegs that takes the iOS device. These are not compressed as all JPEG files are compressed. iOS devices (until the iPhone 7) does not in the first.

  • MP3 corruption during the copy to USB or playing with MP11

    Bought a cheap good car 16g off ebay.  No brand name.  To use in the car to listen to music (we have a new sienna with USB socket)
     
    Has started moving the MP3s to it, a bunch of files
     
    Found that at a given time, a file will not play with media player.  Therefore, no new file (copied to USB) after bad, would play.  Does any kind of codec error.  If I delete bad and try to copy it, he would not play.
     
    So I format USB and start over.  It happens again, with different files.  I do this a few times
     
    Finally, I find that media player is changing the file to be unplayable.  I tried to open one with media player classic and it works, but then, open the file with the current media player, I get the error, and it's more playable by classic.  After the file fails, the media info, artist, album, ect, is gone, but the name and size remain.  Size looks normal, but the image of the album no longer appears on the file manager.
     
    After testing more far, I see some files do not survive to the copy.  Others survive the copy, but media player is their in.  Error always the same on these files.  I can copy back them and replace, and sometimes they are OK, then other times they need a another copy and replace.  In all cases, the album art has disappeared.
     
    I found that if I delete one of these files, the next time I copy, it seems good, but is damaged if I play with media player.  Media player classic it plays very well and does not alter it.
     
    So, in summary, I'm sure only a few things
     
    Symptoms of a bad file is that it won't play in anything whatsoever, says he needs of codec, and I have more music as album info and others.  Such a file can occur after copying on USB key, or the first time, it is played with the current media player (media player helps says it's common when I ask for update).
     
    Some files do not copy right.  I can copy back them and they're right.  However, sometimes they lack the album image in the file manager.  No correlation with the existence of this image, and if the media player will be trash.
     
    Some of the files when they are played with media player go corrupt and will play is classic.  I have copy and I can play the recopied with media player classic, but try media player and it will be corrupted again.  The original copy of the copied file will play well with media player out of the hard drive, but will go corrupt if played off of USB, however, if copied from the USB to the desktop, it will now play with media player, but the album cover will look smaller than the original hard disk.
     
    Currently, the problem is only with files that are on the USB drive.
     
    A lot of hiking here, but you have an idea of what is going on?
     
    I'm afraid that this media player will decide to begin to destroy ALL my mp3s.  I went Classic Media Player to be the default for MP3 player, but you still wonder what WTF.
     
    Or is it a kind of USB problem?  I did a full and several quick formats of USB.
     
    Any ideas?

    Hidyrwolf,

    It seems that there is a problem with the USB drive as the file copied from the USB to the computer plays very well and the problem occurs with files that reside on the disk.

    To check if the problem caused by the USB, I suggest that you plug the USB on the other computer and check if the problem persists.

    Alternatively, you can add the missing information to the media library of Windows media player.

  • Question about the graphics driver

    Okay so just close a week ago my laptop (ASUS K55a) has decided to freeze on me while I look a a video on youtube (essentially what I normally do after obtaining of reception class at night). After that, however, I turn on my laptop after forcing him to stop and while the mouse was mobile, I couldn't click on anything whatsoever. Its as if it was running, it took, the incredibly long just at startup and when he did, loading everything and takes a lot of time.  (I rebooted once a couple and even started in safe mode, nothing seemed to work)

    So the next day I decide the best option here is to reformat because I really can't do anything else to my knowledge base. After reformatting all, it seems to work very well, but here's the problem: whenever I try to install the graphics driver updated on the computer I get this error:

    He had what appeared to be some kind of basic graphic driver, but after searching for the name of this driver, the solution was that this particular driver was related to corruption. (Also to try to get windows to update this basic driver, he would sit there for about 10 minutes then would proceed in a BSOD).
