What will I lose with a re-9nstall BONE?

I had problems with such spontaneous reboots as discussed in this thread; "Why after restart 2 hours sleep." It seems that my next step is to re - install El Capitan? Sounds a bit scary, that the instructions given in the "recovery" page Apple support seems benign.

If I re - install what will I lose? I suppose that some settings will go to default but should I write or copy to another security program? I'm the clone with CCC before doing this step but wish you do not to have to use it.

Geoff

Before anything is a great idea and there is no problem if you don't have to use the cloning: it will take very little time. Now, if you simply reinstall the OS on top of what you have, you will not lose anything. However, if you have any problems, and they could be caused by a third-party software incompatibility, then nothing will have changed. Therefore, if you use recovery and that you choose to delete your hard drive first, and then of course everything will be deleted. Re-entered settings are redone quickly, so I wouldn't worry on this subject. Also: using the CCC will create a clone which means it will copy everything back. However, if you want a backup from which you can extract only certain things, then the built in Time Machine might be a better option (or, as many people do, use both if you have two backups).

    If you burn to a DVD disc in first items 10 and later versions, some choices are

    a. DVD-VIDEO standard screen or 4:3 16:9 on DVD disc

    Both will have the frame size of 720 x 480 pixels. But the big screen comes with a 16:9 flag that extends approximately 856/480 16:9 display video after encoding. The screening is not adjustable by the user... and you end up with the DVD-VIDEO format @ 29.97 images per second interlaced.

    b. format of the AVCHD on DVD

    Here is the video display 1920 x 1080. And, depending on the version, can be 29.97 images interlaced per second, or 23.976 progressive frames per second (if not just 29.97 images per second interlaced). Although you can generate some AVCHD DVD with a regular DVD burner, DVD AVCHD is in need of a blu - ray player that supports supported AVCHD DVD or one of these drives multimedia multi which is also.

    c. If the player allows... you can export your Timeline file saved on a USB Flash drive and then insert this USB Flash drive in the drive to get the reading of the file. On this route, you can set the Premiere Elements avancΘs to customize your choice of export preset.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Dominic,

    Are you able to get into BIOS to make changes?

    If so, you can try to reset the default settings of the BIOS and check.

    NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    You can also try to remove all external usb devices that can be connected to the system and start-up and see if the system boots.

  • I want to copy all my jpg files to another directory (a portable hard drive) with some of the same names of JPGs, but not necessarily all. What will happen? The word 'COPY', will be some of the deleted files be added or nothing at all.

    I have a LOT of pictures in my computer (over a thousand) and I want to put them on a portable hard drive, I bought (1 terabyte) but I won't write any of the names of existing files with different images. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Do I need software or special hardware? I tried the copy/paste standard as well as move files to the new directory, but it seems that I can lose files. I'm not sure if the files that are missing (or lack, in my opinion) are not copied. When I finished emptying the directory, it shows that it is empty but the new directory does not seem to have any additional files that should be there based on the counting of the files before and after.

    Thanks for any help you can provide, Bill

    1: right-click and then drag the pix on the external drive. Release the right mouse button and choose copy here. They are there?  Now remove it from the computer.

    2: you can see pix of the same name overwrite each other, or be done with (1), (2), etc.. But even in this case, they will be interspersed with the former. If keep you them in separate folders with different names, that should not happen. Personally, I rename all the pix before storing them. You can select the set instead of the code of the camera and a group, rename the first holiday 2009 yo and the rest will be renamed holiday 2009 and each havf will one (1), (2), (3), after them.

    It is also a nice freeware tool which, among other things, can rename a group of photos easily.

  • What will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop after I swap HDD with SSD?

    Original title: replacement disk and windows.

    Hello guys.

    I am considering buying a new laptop. The model that I found and I like has a HARD drive if I want to replace it with the SSD to the format of my previous laptop. (Due to the low energy consumption, greater speed, etc.). So I have a 256 gb SSD in my previous loan of laptop replace new one HARD disk, yet what will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop?

    I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD, but I don't have a key to activate their... How will I be able to get the key from previous series if the laptops will only work with a recovery partition these days here? I asked a guy in the store, I buy my laptop since and he told me that he does not know and I have to ask for help. However, to create a message of support I need a serial number of the model I did not because I have not yet bought a laptop, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HARD drive, but also I can't afford another model.

    Is it possible to do a recovery with my laptop disk when I get it, then replace the drive with my SSD and run the recovery disc I made?

    The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps...

    Thanks in advance...

    The 'Raw' State is not necessary, it is the State of any drive (SSD drive or hard drive) would be in if you just remove a disk new in box and will need to be "initialized", since you have already used the player already initialized sound.

    Do not format the drive, rather than delete all existing partitions, (the SSD shows then as being "unallocated"). Now you are ready to restore the backup Image you created. During the restore process Acronis will recreate the partitions that were on the hard drive on your SSD.

    Hmm, if you're looking for performance Combo: speed + storage memory , you can go by car merger.

    However, you can find test for Fusion V/S Flash Player storage on popular Tech sites. You can check the speed of DataAccess speed, storage performance... Speed of reading data, writing speed of data.  so that you can decide, also for the best recommendation, post a thread on the Mac community, so that you can get real answer to multiple users who use drive merger or tried the two Fusion as well the Flash storage.

    • Google account: No. If Firefox don't forget your Google password, you can log into your account and save it again.
    • E-mail: No. your email is not stored in Firefox, it is either stored on the e-mail service provider's website or a separate e-mail program, or both.
    • writing files: I'm not sure what this is. If you are using an add-on to create/save these files, then it is possible that the files will be gone after a refresh because the data associated with the modules are removed. However, if you have created these files in any other way, they should not be affected.
    • Microsoft Word program: No.. A Firefox Refresh does not affect the Microsoft applications.
    • Internet Explorer: No.. A Firefox Refresh does not affect the Microsoft applications.

    I noticed that you mentioned a "Reset". Windows has a reset function. I'm only talking about Firefox built in refreshment and not resetting Windows.

  • What is the problem with Windows Vista?

    It's Windows Vista just bad or what!

    Sorry for my title, but I have had serious problems lately and it has been really frustrating.  This all started when I got a game, Civilization V, to be exact, as a gift.  Now, I use a laptop that is not done for the games, but I am able to run games of different strategy on a low setting without problem.  When I installed Civilization V, however, it did not work, saying that I had to download Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

    The reason why I didn't have SP2 was because I disabled the auto-update feature.  I did not want Microsoft to auto-updated my computer because it just add more files to my computer - right which may be unnecessary, i.e. IE and take hard drive space.  However, because I really wanted to play the game, I was like, so can download SP2.

    This is when the problems started to arise.  First of all, somehow, I'm done with DirectX 11.  From my understanding, XP is associated with DirectX 9, Vista with DirectX 10 and Windows 7 with DirectX11.  I have Windows Vista, but I have DirectX 11 is installed.  How is that possible?  This in turn makes Civilization V quite unstable.

    But, I'm not really upset to have the correct version of DirectX, because in all honesty, I have accidentally installed when I installed the game.

    WHAT I'M REALLY UPSET is how SP2 has completely messed up my computer.  First of all, he did my laptop completely unstable.  My starting times vary.  Sometimes, I have a blue screen when I start my computer.  Also, it has substantially increased the amount of energy/process my uses of the computer.  While my laptop has a skinny 1 HR autonomy on SP1, it has now a little 15 min autonomy on SP2.

    But perhaps what really upsets me is that since I installed SP2, I've lost half a gig of hard drive space whenever I restart my computer.  And since my computer has become unstable, I have to reboot more often then usual.  I got 10 GB of free hard disk space and now I only have 200 MB.  I tried 'disk cleanup', but now my computer has only 4 gigs.  Where's the other 6 GB?

    And the worst, Vista is that research is absolutely useless.  Find recent files that have been created (since if I lose 500 MB every time you start, I need to create some sort of file), but my search comes up with no results.

    I write because I need solutions to these three things:

    (1) how can I make SP2 uses less memory and processes?  I wish that my life of battery 1 h back instead of 15 min.

    (2) MOST IMPORTANT: How can I prevent my computer whenever I restart the loss of 500 MB of hard drive?

    (3) what are the means that would allow me to search my computer so that I can understand why I keep losing hard drive space?

    I can't believe that Microsoft will come out with an "update" which downgrades your computer actually.  And I am sure that I do not have a virus, because I have not downloaded anything / visited all websites summary recently at 90%.

    Thank you.

    Access your site from manufacturers of portable, specific to your model and update all the drivers available.

    Then to winupdate parameters depend on important updates ONLY, by installing not important updates, you leave your computer at risk and bug fixes will not be implimented
