  • How to remove the floppy write protection

    How can I remove write Protection from a disk 1.3 MB

    Sometimes the switch 'cursor' on diskettes 3,5 "bit was removed (to create the disk read-only permanently). If this is the case, then just put a piece of opaque tape over the 'hole' (where the slider switch was)... and you'll be able to write to the diskette.

    If you hold the diskette if you are looking at the rear, the slider switch (or a hole where was the slide switch) is at the bottom RIGHT.

    Please note that the 3.5-inch disks came in various capacities (the two most common are 720 KB and 1.44 MB. If you hold the diskette, then you're looking at the back, then there will be a hole on the bottom LEFT, which is used to indicate the command what is the capacity of the disk. If my memory is good, there will be a hole in the bottom LEFT (when you see the back of the disc), for drives with capacity of 1.44 MB, and if no hole is on bottom LEFT, then the floppy drive is 720 KB.

    My point... If you need to put a piece of opaque tape over the hole where the playback cursor / writing has been (to make writable disk), don't forget to put tape over the hole at the bottom RIGHT (looking at the BACK of the disc... and 'back', I mean the side without label and where can be seen the axis of the disc).

  • remove the adapter write protection and usb/microsd card

    Put a micro sd card into the adapter and since I opened it I'm impossible to delete files, format the drive e., Cup etc. When the drive is disconnected Ican manipulate the files which have been locked with the drive connected. The share in the properties of the drive button is untouchable and I tried some tools to format the troubed drive and nothing has worked so far. It affects all my usb ports no matter where I connect the sd adapter. How can I change the access point so E is not write protected?

    There is a little switch on the side of the SD card. Make sure that it is upward, to the terminals.

  • Can I delete files from disk that I removed just to LR by mistake?

    Hi, this is a really stupid mistake.

    I just deleted 100s of raw files from lightroom, useless stuff that I should have deleted at the time but that he was too lazy to do. I now try to purge all the waste and it takes me days (that's for the past 3 years or so).

    This morning I just deleted several hundred images I went to empty the trash and it's already empty, and it's only then that I realise I was just delete files from Lightroom and not from the diskette. It is several hours of work, is it possible that I can identify now in the folder from the finder that images aren't in the LR, because these are the ones I want to get rid of for good. I don't want to keep them there taking up valuable memory space or restore them in LR and have to do it all again. Help!

    Any advice much appreciated.

    Emma,

    I would do the following:

    1. YOUR CATALOG BACKUP
    2. Synchronize folders in question (perhaps on the record higher level parent)
      -Uncheck the box 'Search the metadata updated' when syncing
      -Select "import new photos" when syncing
    3. Remove photos ("remove disk") just imported by Synchronize to in LR (from the view "Previous import") after each import (if more than one folder)

    This should remove all images not previously in your catalog, but in your file (s).

  • Satellite U - How to recover deleted files from mysafe?

    Hello

    Does anyone know how to recover deleted files from mysafe?

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the data in this folder will not be deleted to bin recycled initially, but they will be removed immediately.
    How recovery them? Good question?

    Try to find some third party applications that can scan the HARD disk for deleted files. The point is that it will work if the FAT (File allocation table) is deleted only. This means that the file is on the HARD disk, but the disk HARD doesn t know where exactly.
    Hmmm... It is not so easy.

  • Deleting files from the downloads folder

    Deleting files from my downloads folder delete them will form my laptop?

    The downloads folder is mainly a temporary store. What happens after the download depends entirely what they are and what you were doing after download.

    Program installers will almost always unpack and create directories elsewhere on the disc in order to remove them from downloads does not remove the actual program.

    By default, zip files will create a folder extracted in downloads and will be deleted if the folder is empty.

    Photos, documents, music, etc. be elsewhere on your drive if you moved them. As the default drag and drop function within the same drive is move not copy if they are still there, there is a strong possibility that they are the only copy.

    External drives do not place their deleted files in a basket, they are removed immediately and simply disappear.

    Keep off the drive and try these recovery software and the attempt to recover lost data.

  • Unable to share files from Illustrator to draw on my ipad to my Illustrator on my desk

    Hi, I am unable to share files from Illustrator to draw on my ipad to my Illustrator on my desk... I'm only given the opportunity to share with Behance, there is no option to share with Illustrator or Photoshop. I called the helpline, and suggested I delete the app and reload, they weren't able to confirm if I would lose my sketches in the process. Any thoughts?

    Hi Anne,.

    Do not uninstall the application. You're just trying to send from the wrong place. Open a Web and tap the icon (square with an arrow) sharing in that open Web to send to Illustrator or Photoshop CC.

    Two quick mentions:

    Make sure that you are connected to the mobile application and the desktop application with the same Adobe ID.

    Make sure that your desktop applications are the latest versions.

    Let me know how things are going.

    bzunic, have you updated the firmware your model?

    With my own game, (32RL900A), the notice said that some of the buttons of the remote control are "unused", however, after the first update of the firmware, the "unused" buttons have been used, (in our case, record, Time Shift and so on).

    Is the reason why I talk about this, these features became available after an update of the firmware and not included in the manual of the user, in our case, and a subsequent download of the instruction manual for our model actually gave instructions for the use of these features, which have been presented as 'not available '. in the manual original instructions supplied with the TV, but became available after the update of the firmware.

    Let us know how it works...
