remove the bootcamp 2008 mini and other issues

I have a mini although don't remember when I bought exactly, in my opinion, is was 2008/2009 120 GB HD is full with 85 GB for MAC and 34 GB partitioned into Bootcamp/Windows. I have several questions.  I have 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM.

Recently the 1 TB external drive that had my iPhoto Library, iPhoto ' 09 (8.1.2), crashed. Fortunately I had a return to the top of most of the pictures so I saved them again on a drop box account.

I just bought a WD 1 TB disk as a Time Machine backup.  I would like to delete the bootcamp partition to free up space inside of HD.  Given that I do not know which way to follow up on the OS upgrade I backup the boot camp partition.

  1. If I delete the partition should I reformat the internal HD together?
    1. If yes then I guess I have to reload the OS and files of Applications of discs, which are really very old.
  2. Once I have more internal disk space, free I can load Os X El Capitan?
    1. What is the best procedure to do this assuming that I can upgrade to El Capitan.
    2. If it's not the El Capitan case, then what is the latest OS I install, and how do I get it.
  3. With my current equipment, can I install a larger internal HD?
    1. How big, how fast?

There is no Mini 2008. The 2009 and later can go to El Capitan. The 2007 only to the Lion and can use only 4 GB of memory. Therefore, it seems that you have a 2009. Only the beginning of 2009 also has a 2 GHz processor

You can delete the partitions without reformatting.

To upgrade you can upgrade just above existing BONES

If you have Snow Leopard now or not pleased:

Upgrading to 10.7 and don't forget Rosetta!

Yes yo ca install an internal drive more. The only restriction is that the thickness should be 9.5 mm or less. I would like to install a SSD but don't not gt a sinus fast one mini 2009 is only SATA II (3 GB/s) speed so you can't use the full speed of an SSD. However, it accelerated an SSD. I installed an SSD on my end of 2009 and there was a big improvement is the speed.

If you get a new HD do not pay for a fast given that the Mini will not use it.

    Hello

    I just got a new NI DAQ, compact and am currently trying to get LabVIEW to read from multiple channels on this subject.

    In short, I have an input for thermocouple and a current input on my Board and I want to do is read from multiple channels on each module. However what I would like is for the display of the user to be updated in real time of these readings, then that I only want to open a session (or write to the file) all values at a rate of once per second.

    at the moment I can do either both in 1 second (which makes the clunky and slow user interface) or I can do both very quick which makes the nice user interface, but the journal file massive.

    Also I have questions about access to data acquisition channels and whether I need a producer consumer loop if I am only wanting to log every second.

    First data acquisition:

    To access my strings, I used the virtual channel NI DAQmx create VI and wired the necessary things. Now it works, but I wonder now, how can I change this option to apply some scales to each channel individually. I have 5 pressure sensors with slightly different min and max outputs (data calibration). I thought I could do this by specifying a project task, but it gives errors saying that I have duplicate layers or something. Essentially, each channel has its own custom scale.

    Producer/consumer

    Do I need to bother with a producer consumer? I thought it is a pretty nice way to ask things, especially with a queue, but really if I connect 1 times per second, the queue will never really have more than 1 thing in there. In addition, I find myself with an array of pressure measurements and an array of measure of temperature against time and queue wants a string input. So it don't work anyway.

    Is it possible to put a slower loop inside a quick loop to check?

    Thank you

  • ESXi 4.1, ESXi 5.1 - migration of data base and other issues

    Hello, we have a pretty small environment ESXi 4.1 Enterprise Plus
    with 3 guests. We have a standalone physical SQL server that hosts the database
    and a VM Server 2008 64 bit running vCenter. I wanted to use Server 2008 R2
    for the vCenter, so I intend to install a new VM running this OS. Is it possible
    the new basis of use 4.1 existing vCenter 5.1 (I guess he needs to)
    mise_a_jour/migration) and have 3 4.1 ESXi hosts to vCenter 5.1 report? I have
    then remove the vCenter 4.1 and upgrade the hosts of 4.1 to 5.1. The
    Another option Im contemplating implements the vCenter 5.1 with a new SQL
    database.

    Also there are issues keeping the hosts at 4.1 when using
    vCenter 5.1 for a few weeks?

    Thank you!

    Is it possible to have the new vCenter 5.1 using the existing base of 4.1

    Years: This is not possible, during the upgrade to vCenter Server 4.1 to 5.1, I saw the database schema changes. Schema be compatible freshly installing vCenter server 5.1 and connects to the 4.1 database and do not support.

    A report of hosts ESXi 4.1 3 Center 5.1?

    Years: It is possible, ESXi4.1 works seamlessly with vCenter Server 5.1. Once you upgrade to vCenter server 5.1 level, all the host esx4.1 will connect to improved vCenter Server 5.1

    The other option I'm contemplating implements the vCenter 5.1 with a new SQL database.

    Years: you lose all configurations and need to connect ESX4.1 to the new host Server 5.1 and reconfiguration

    Also is there any problem keeping the hosts to 4.1 using vCenter 5.1 for a few weeks?

    Years: As mentioned above, it works and it is compatible.

  • How can I remove the Windows, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer

    I use another software Photo and picture Windows and Fax Viewer interferes with my work with the other program. Therefore, I would like to remove the Windows, "Windows picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer.

    Info for WIndows XP - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OK... but be careful... you'll lose thumbnails of photos in Windows Explorer...
    your 'My pictures' folder... for example... does not display photos.

    And... FWIW... WP & F Viewer is not a program... it's just a .dll file. Disabling
    the .dll file is basically identical to uninstall. (in this way... If you do not
    as the result... you can reactivate).

    But if "gone forever", that's what you prefer... just delete the shimgvw.dll file.

    Attention last... your thumbnails in the Explorer will be gone.

    How... Disable WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and you is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    (You should see a dialog box indicating:)
    DllUnregisterServer in successful shimgvw.dll)

    How... Reactivate the WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    You should see a dialog box stating:
    DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

    To remove shimgvw.dll go to the following folder and do a right click Delete shimgvw.dll.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll

    If you can't find the path, you must go to...
    Button start / Control Panel / folder Options.
    See tab /... to check "Show hidden files and folders"...

    You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous.

    I have them would be reduced by 700 MB.

    Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore.

    Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output.

    When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline.

    Setting the default value is 3% of the walk.

    Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%.

    In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change.

    At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk.

    Change to 5%, which should be enough.

    In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%.

    However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive.

    In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc.

    These files can be compressed or not compressed.

    If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue.

    If not compressed you can compress.

    Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space.

    On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, Tools, Dr. Watson, and make sure the box in front of "Add to the existing rating" is NOT checked.

    This means that the next time that the log is written it will crush rather than adding to the existing file.

    The setting of maximum size by default for Event Viewer logs is too big.

    Reset the maximum value for each log from 512 KB to 128 KB and set it to crush.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup to empty your trash and delete temporary Internet files.

    Also select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup, more Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    I have windows 8 and my husband has win8. Can we post appts etc and then be able to view the calendar of each and others without it going throug mail? If I post an apt for one or two of us on the calendar, it is possible for him to see and vice versa?

    Hi Candy,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, of course, there is a way to put the appointment both of your calendars. When you use the same account Microsoft to connect both computers, the changes made in the calendar by a user is looking at another user's calendar. So, if your husband books calendar for an opportunity, then you will be able to see it.

  • Help! 'remove the rendered JavaScript blocking' and 'leverage browser caching.

    My site Adobe Muse, www.realtorindfw.com, (desktop version) loading fine until yesterday. Now it loads very slowly, I tried to reduce the size of the image, thinking that maybe the problem (even if it used to load incredibly fast even when the images were 4 x greater, so I never thought that). When that didn't fix the problem I typed my website in Google PageSpeed and found that the main problem is that I need to 'remove the rendered JavaScript blocking' and "leverage browser caching."

    It seems that the main problem is that the file, http://webfonts.creativecloud.com/...eue:n4:all; open-without - condensed:n3:all.js, is apparently rendered blocking JavaScript which is causing all the rest to be delayed, because images can not load until this line is resolved and that can take up to a minute. Reading online, it seems that if I could move this line of code to the bottom, then it don't take everything, because no assets would be behind it. I obviously know nothing about good coding (that's why I use Muse). How can I go about solving this problem of render-blocking JavaScript?

    In addition, the issue of "leverage implementing caching of the browser" is that some images have an expiration are associated. I do not think this has nothing to do with me and is rather a kind of problem of Muse. Is there a way can I fix?

    My page was loading fine, until I downloaded randomly once again, and all these problems started. Please type my site in PageSpeed and address the problems of the desktop version and see if you can understand how this can be resolved. This is my professional site, so yes, I'm trying to get it fixed as soon as possible. I also discussed with support chat and they said that the best way to get it resolved would be to post it here. Thank you.

    debp83130756 if your page is slow to load, start a new thread here on the forum, ask for advice on improving the performance of page loading, and include the URL of the page. (A new thread will attract more attention than to post a reply in a thread that has been dormant for more than a year.)

    PageSpeed side has surprisingly little to page load performance as experienced by a visitor to the site and is not related to SEO or your Google page ranking.

    Him "generally render JavaScript blocking" on a Muse page is code that starts to load Web fonts. If it was moved later then the content of your page may appear a fraction earlier, but it appears in the wrong font, and then jump around to settle once the police you wanted has been loaded. Most of the people prefer to avoid content in the police hurt, insofar as that it can be avoided.
