2 TB HP External Reviews?
I bought a HP External Drive to replace a WD "green" drive that I think must have died in the last couple of days.
http://www.officemax.com/technology/drives-memory-storage/hard-drives-usb-drives /external-hard-drives/product-prod3490334
I was going to get on CNET to see how the reviews for this thing are because I am realizing I should have been more deliberate about this.
Anyone happen to know if there is a better place than CNET to see reviews on this thing, if there is a "best' external drive and/or whether this is something I should keep/
I bought two fo the WD because the price was right and it was WD and I think I got burned a little on this one. I know there is some good technical experience on the forum and I hope folks don't mind my posting this here.
TIA
hi. thank you.
i have a bit of trouble with the cnet interface and don't always find what i am looking for. also for some reason the google search for this was not turning up good results. amazon is a good idea. thanks. for some reason i was leery of sales site reviews but it seems like the amazon reviews are independent.
so - like a dolt i went with HP and now I am thinking i see that this thing is Windows only, I think??
OK. So, yeah. You are saying that something like a QNAP Network Attached Storage Device will allow me to pick a reliable internal drive, pop it in and run a backup to be either kept in the device or put on a shelf or whatever is that right? I mean, I would like to follow your suggestion here to make sure i understand it.
ALSO, if I wanted an external just to have it here and let it sit quietly doing it's thing for the sake of multiple reduncancy - can i please ask you if there is a way to know what I am getting? I just bought TWO of the WD 1 TB MyBooks and Hatter is telling me that they are green drives and don't work so well with the mac and now one of them has /failed/ I think after only a month or two and now I am back to figuring out how to solve this backup solution with externals that build in redundancy. I mean, is there a way to know what is in these externals?
I /have/ a NAS 219 QNAP device as of a week ago and I am getting it running but I was going to primarily put security camera stuff on there and run off-site archivals in the second bay now and then. But I do, see that I could switch this around and run my Time Machine to /one/ drive or my CLONE to that extra drive, I guess. E
Grr.
Thanks.

How can I send Captivate 8 swfs to user for external reviews?
I used Captivate 5 before and there was a drop-down to send review internally or to Acrobat.com. Is there anything similar in Captivate 8?
Hi Geri,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You may use the following links to understand the process of using your Internal for sharing a published SWF for review. Server In a shared network, multiple reviewers can publish their comments to a common file. In a setup where reviewers do not have access to the shared location, they can export their comments to an XML file and send it to the author. When the XML file is imported into Adobe Captivate, the comments appear the same location at which they were added.
Acrobat.com is been discontinued so the only option left is your Internal Server.
There is an option in file menu " Send for shared review"

Question about documenting object properties
Does the new version of Designer have a tool that allows us to print a report showing the properties of the object used in a form template? For example... showing all of the properties like fonts, size, patterns, defaults, whether or not a field is required, etc...? I am also checking to see if this capability has been added to Workbench not only for forms but for Process Maps too.
Hi Neil,
You might want to consider using Avoka's SmartForm Composer to generate your XFA PDF Forms as it has a facility called the "bulk editor" which can show any property of any field, it also provides an export to XLS facility for external review.

Creating "Conditional Sections" in Sharepoint 2010
Hi, I have a created a home page for my team site with several image buttons that are linked to other lists/pages. For one of these buttons i want to create another section of buttons for the user to select the kind of review to update. Is it
possible to do that and make that section "sort of conditional"? i.e. it should only be shown when the user clicks the 1st button?
For example
I have the below image buttons.
1. Add New Review
2. View Updated Reviews
3. View Closed Review
So when the user clicks on "Add New Review", he/she will be directed to another section within the same page to select the kind of review he/she wants to add. This will be done via image buttons as well.
e,g image buttons for "1. Internal Review" "2. External Review" etc.
These 2nd set of buttons will only appear when the user clicks on the 1st button "Add New Review".
Is it possible to do this?
I hope i have explained well. Any assistance would be appreciated

Is there a third party application for doing this? At my job I often take notes on my iPhone and therefore it would be very useful to be able to sync them to my Mac.
ThanksHi there. I'm one of the developers of an app that syncs notes over the web. You can learn about it at http://notespark.com , or read an external review at http://www.appcraver.com/notespark/ .
We think it's the best solution out there, but then again, we're biased.

Can't see "albums" when reviewing photos stored on external drive
Goal: I'd like to be able to rapidly hook up my external hard-drive, find 6 photos previously sorted into an album (as when they were originally sorted by me in my computer's iPhoto) and copy those back onto my computer for my use.
Problem: When I go to review my backed up iPhoto library on the external hard-drive the photos are only organized in folders by year or by roll name. I can't seem to see the previous very extensive album list in which I'd originally sorted my photos. To look them up by date again would be very time consuming especially considering I've already taken time to created hundreds of albums and manually alpha sorted these albums!
My photo collection is too extensive to import the entire library back onto my computers hard-drive.
A professional Mac troubleshooter had shown me once how to do this but I've forgotten. It was something like putting my computer's current iPhoto library in the trash, and then open iPhoto. When iPhoto asked "what library to use" click on the one on the external drive. This revealed the previous album list in the Source column of the iPhoto window.
However I'm a little afraid to try this, as then I'm only one click away from trashing current photos that I may not have backed up?
Thanks for your help.Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It looks like your other post was deleted. That often happens with duplicate posts, but they usually try to remove the one that was not answered.
To switch libraries, Quit iPhoto. Hold down the Option key as you launch iPhoto. At the dialog, select "Choose Library" then navigate to the iPhoto Library folder that you wish to open. You can do this to open the library on your external hard drive, select the albums you want, and Export those photos to your Desktop. Then Quit iPhoto, Option-Launch again, open your regular library, import the photos from your Desktop, then delete the Desktop copies.
If that sounds inconvenient, you can use iPhoto Library Manager to transfer the albums from one library to the other.

New 2014 X1 Carbon Touch - 1 Week Review
I've had the New 2014 Carbon X1 for about a week now, so I thought I'd post a review about my experiences thus far.
The version I received was the high end model, i7 4th gen, 8gb ram, IPS 2560x1440 touch display. This is the first Lenovo device I have purchased, and I did so at the recommendation of my brother who has owned a T series for the last 3 years. I am a film student, so my intention is to do some light video editing (not rendering) and lightroom/ photoshop work on this device (in addition to daily use of OneNote). I was looking for a powerful ultrabook with good build quality, battery life, and cooling when I purchased this laptop.
Hardware:
The hardware on this device has highly conservative look, which I appreciate. The laptop doesn't draw attention, but is pleasing to the eye when viewed up close. I like the fact that there are not as many creases or lines that run through the body of the device (when compared to other devices), which results in a more free flowing but unified appearance.
The matte plastic on the top of the lid has a slightly rubberized texture, making the device easy to grip. My hands get hot and moist consistently, so the lid does occasionally pick up some faint moisture streaks if I carry it without a case. The slightly rubberized texture is pleasant to the touch and is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth. The inside of the device has a similar plastic around the keys and palm rests, but does not attain as much of a rubber (soft) feel as the lid. The texture on the palm rests is good, and stays cool under extended typing conditions.
At first I was having issues with the keyboard whereby I would press the spacebar too early in a word. This is due to not pressing the letter keys down firmly enough. After adjusting my finger pressure while typing, I have been able to avoid this problem for the most part. The pressure I am applying to the keys is just a hair more than I am used to, but it is something that doesn't cause a major inconvenience. The backlight on the keyboard is excellent, not too bright or too dim at any one moment.
The fingerprint reader took several tries to set up, mostly because there is a discrepancy between the lenovo fingerprint software and the integrated Windows 8 security fingerprint setting. By installing my index finger for login on both programs, I was able to successfully unlock the computer from sleep with a swipe of my finger. I am really impressed by the integration of a light on the sensor. When my print isn't accepted the first time, an amber color light flashes on site. Its easier to just look at the light than have to switch my glance back to the monitor after every swipe (like my previous HP laptop). Upon a successful swipe, a lime color light flashes on the reader.
The screen on the device meets my expectations in every way. The display is IPS which is required for accurate photo editing, and it is LED which makes it very power efficient. Viewing angles are fine, but they could be a little better. Brightness is excellent, but the initial settings have Auto Brightness enabled. On this setting, pumping the brightness up to "100%" really means 100% of what the Auto Brightness function deems appropriate for the current ambient light. To have full manual control, Auto Brightness must be disabled. This results in a much brighter screen with beautiful whites, deep blacks, etc. This is a 300nit display so brightness is very well addressed. As a side note, the laptop was shipped with what appears to be an installed screen protector. There are several holes around the microphones and camera, and a tiny seam along the edge of the screen. The protector is virtually unnoticeable, so I'm leaving it on for the time being. It is much cleaner than any other factory installed laptop screen protector (or film) than I've ever seen (no bubbles, peel-off tabs, or misalignment).
Cooling on the device is good, but it did not exceed my expectations. On power saver mode, the bottom of the laptop is cool to the touch except the back right corner. To the touch the corner feels as warm as something that's been in the sun for 5 minutes or so which is excellent. I have a temp gun so I'll have to check specifics later. On high performance mode, heat significantly increases. Most of the bottom of the laptop heats up even if no intensive tasks are being run. If the laptop is on my lap, I prefer it to be in power saver mode for this reason.
Battery life is good for such a small laptop. I have 8 hours of back to back classes and I type notes basically the whole time. With this laptop, it is entirely possible to go that full period without a charger. So far I have done this twice. The settings I use are Wifi off, low brightness, and I enable high contrast mode in accessibility center so the glaring white of OneNote doesn't blind me during the film screenings.
Webcam looks great for google hangouts, and the microphones are the most sensitive I've ever used. They can pick up the voice of someone to the side and across the room with great clarity.
Overall the weight and feel of the laptop is very pleasing. Such a light weight for its size, and it feels solid to the touch and doesn't flex the slightest when handled different ways (carbon fiber ++). When compared to a macbook air, it is nearly identical in size and weight. However, I find typing on the lenovo is much more pleasant because the front edge of the palm rest isn't sharp enough to dig into my hands.
Software
The Lenovo Solution software (pinned to taskbar upon installation) is easy to use and responsive (unlike similar HP suites). I am actually going to rely on this software for updates instead of disabling it.
For the first few days of use, there was a touch keyboard toolbar button pinned to my start bar that would appear again even after disabling it. I researched the problem and it was permanently removed from the taskbar by uninstalling the touchpad driver and reinstalling it. Odd.
The adaptive row of keys is a good idea, but it is not as responsive as I'd like. When using the visual gestures or dragon voice control, there is significant lag between pressing the adaptive key and the program actually running. Each time, a lenovo window appears and it takes several mouse clicks to get to a functioning state for each button. One thing I am VERY disappointed about is the lack of any play/pause/stop/next/previous buttons for the adaptive row to use with a media player. These buttons are necessary, and not having them is unacceptable in my opinion.
Touch responsiveness is liquid smooth in both power saver and high performance modes. Zooming in on bing maps, drawing with all ten fingers, swiping through metro - all a delightfully lag-free experience.
Windows 8 - ahhhhhh. This is my first device to run windows 8, and it's alright. It'll take some getting used to, but from my experience so far it is responsive and useful in its design. I really want to be able to pin a firefox link to my start screen, but it seems like all I can do is pin the firefox app instead.
As mentioned in a previous post, there are several issues with programs that aren't adapted to the ultra high res display. That discussion can be found here.
The sleeve I purchased for this machine was the "V7 Ultra Protective Sleeve for 13.3-Inch Ultrabook and Notebook". The fit is great (the slightest bit loose on the ends) and the quality is above par for such a low price. I spilled a significant amount of apple juice on the case just yesterday (shakes head) and it protected the notebook well.
Overall Experience:
I'm pleased with my purchase. High price point? YES. For that amount I think the RAM should be at least 16gb and the SSD could be 500gb. Overall it is a pleasure to use and look at. Honestly so many things are right about this machine, it just allows me to focus on my work and stop worrying about my battery level or my trackpad glitching or the CPU overheating or lag or other petty issues that other notebooks make you deal with. That's what I like - its a smooth connection between me and getting things done while away from my desktop.
I haven't edited video on it yet, so that will come in a few weeks. I'm planning on buying an external drive to hold the files while I edit, then just plug it into my desktop when I get home ready to render.

How's the new clickpad?
Does the keyboard flex under reasonable pressure?
Is the adaptive bar actually a pixel-based LCD or just a series of predefined patterns like the really old LCD displays?
The "new" clickpad is very slick. The texture is good but just a little too rubbery for my taste. In comparison with my brother's old T series, I prefer the X1.
Under reasonable pressure, absolutely not. The amount of force it takes for me to flex it is something I'd never do under normal use. It feels very solid in my opinion.
Upon a close inspection, the adaptive touch bar appears to be the old LCD type. I really want those media keys. -
New External Monitor for Logic on MacBook Pro - Suggestions
I'm in the painful process of updating my studio and now my large screen external monitor has started failing.
I know if this a pretty general question more suited to the MacBook Pro forum but I'd like some input from folks used to working with an application like Logic in a home studio environment.
I guess the issue for me is that I'm not getting any younger and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. One of the things specific to Logic and music software in general is that there are LOTS of very detailed dialog boxes with text that is not always height adjustable (yes I know about zooming and indeed I do lots of that but it gets quite distracting). The other factor is that I'm often recording and engineering myself which means I'll be sitting with a guitar in my lap or at a keyboard and can't always lean in too close to the monitor.
I solved this by buying a large 26" Acer which sits on my desk behind the Mackie MCU. To my left I've got the MacBook 15.4" Pro on a keyboard stand above my MIDI controller at a 45 degree angle to the desk.
It's worked quite well until the Acer seems to have become haunted. It will mysteriously reboot itself intermittently, going blank for a second, then showing the Acer logo and going back to picture. It will also turn itself on spontaneously when the computer is off (the status light is off and then turns itself on). It seems to detect when I'm in the middle of a really good session and starts resetting itself every 30 seconds or so. Then it will work fine sometimes for days or weeks at a time. I've checked it on 4 different computers, it malfunctions on all. I believe in may be a problem with one of the capacitors or the inverter, I'm not sure, but it's driving CRAZY at this point.
And of course now it's 3 months out of warranty and may be more expensive to fix than buying a new one.
So my issue is what monitor to replace it with. I've considered buying an Apple monitor, since the display is lovely to look at but there are a couple things that are deal breakers.
It's expensive. Very expensive.
Oddly you have to choose between a 24" and a 30", with nothing in between. Don't want to sound like Goldilocks here, but the 24 is tooooo small and the 30 is tooooo big.
Yeah I know bigger is usually better but since they bumped the native resolution of the 30" up to 2560x1600 it's really sharp but things like the menu text get really quite small. Yes you can reset to a lower non native resolution, but then you loose the sharpness. I tested Logic in the store on the 30" and it did look great but I found I actually had to move my whole body around to see things at the top and bottom of the screen.
Oh and did I mention that it's expensive? Jeez.
The 24" now seems to look a bit small to me after using the same resolution (1920x1200) on the Acer's 26" screen. (Ok, I think it's actually 25.5 but hey that half an inch can make a big difference and I will avoid making any bad jokes here).
And did I mention the Apple monitors are expensive? The 24" is almost 3 times as expensive as a cheaper alternative.
I also still have a PC here that I use (sorry) and the Apple monitors have very limited connectivity. So I think unfortunately the Apple monitors are out for me.
So I;m down to a couple other non Apple options. I will not buy an Acer again since I believe now that their quality control is not good and their support is absolutely atrocious. Shame I used to be a big fan of Acer PC's, but after owning a couple I'm steering clear.
My biggest issue right now is that most of the new budget monitors are geared toward 1080p HD uses so they are they are maxing out at 1920x1080 (16:9 aspect ratio instead of 1920x1200's 16:10). So the tradeoff here is that HD movies will look better in 16:9, but 16:10 gives you "squarer" pixels and more vertical resolution for screen hungry apps like Logic.
Any opinions on this? I'm a bit new to the Mac so I don't know if I'm really better off going with a 1920x1200 screen like the Apple monitors.
Also, I know this may just be a bug in the Acer's scaling, but if I switch to 1920x1080, I lose the menus off the top of the screen or if I adjust the vpos I lose the dock at the bottom. Downscaling to 1600x1050 or even 1024x768 works fine. If I get a 1080 screen and set the resolution appropriately will it work correctly and without too much distortion?
I'm also curious what is the best way to hook up the monitor? I'm currently using the DVI to VGA adapter that came with the MacBook. My Pro is the slighter older silver keyboard model so it has the standard DVI out. Will I see any real improvement by going over to using DVI directly?
Also I'm wondering how people feel about glossy vs matte for music. My current displays are the non-glossy and I do think I prefer them for detail work.
The candidates right now are
Hanns-G HH-281HPB 28" @300$. It's one of the only budget monitors that uses 1920x1200. All the right inputs (DVI, VGA). I'm just afraid this might be a bit too good to be true. It's really cheap and after having problems with a "cheap" Acer (although it wasn't so cheap 3 years ago!) I don't want similar problems. Stand has no swivel or tilt (a big problem for my use). Also that resolution on such a big screen might be good for me or it might look grainy I don't know I haven't seen it. Anybody have any experience with these?
Samsung P2770H 27" @339 Looks nice, good color. Sadly only 1080 native resolution. Stand doesn't swivel, but does tilt. No VGA input, so won't work with my old PC (although strangely it says it comes with a VGA cable). They get generally good reviews and I know Samsung makes very good flat panel TV's.
ViewSonic X Series VX2739WM 27" @350. Once again maxes out at 1080. It's fast (1ms), has VGA input. I've never been a big fan of ViewSonic but they do seem to have gotten better color-wise. Tilt no swivel and it's anti-glare (not sure this is a plus).
There are also similar options from HP, Asus, LG and Sceptre but they are all 1080. In fact outside of the Apples, the Hanns-G and a few expensive monitors from NEC they all seem to be 1080. So if I really want the 1200 the Hanns-G seems like the only way to go.
Any input here would be greatly appreciated.No doubt, the Apple displays are gorgeous. The first time I saw the 30" display wow, I wanted one BAD and it's actually what prompted me to buy a "big" monitor. The colors are great with a rich wonderful saturation level and as usual for Apple the form factor design is stunning. You know for that picture quality I could even get over the sticker shock and save up for one.
Which is why I was so disappointed when I actually sat down in the store and started to use Logic on one. I imagine for doing video work, graphic design or darn near anything else, it would be great. But for Logic I just found myself bending and twisting trying to look at toolbar at the bottom and then up to look at the menus. And instrument or plugin displays that were hard coded to look OK at lower resolutions looked really, really tiny to me. For me and particularly using Logic having 2 slightly smaller displays at a 45 degree angle makes more sense.
And once again the 24 seems just a bit small. I don't understand why they have a 27" iMac but you can't buy a 27" display. So iMac 27" starting at 1699, subtract out the cost of the CPU and drive ie the Mini and I'd really buy one. Strangely you can buy a 21.5" or a 27" iMac. Or you can buy a 24" or 30" display. Hmmmm.
So don't get me wrong I'm not bashing Apple for being expensive. They put a lot of money into R&D and into really thinking about the form and the function of their products. As a recent convert from being a PC developer for 25+ years, hey I've more than sipped the Kool-Aid here, I've guzzled it. They make great products and yeah they're more expensive, because they ARE better! I've now got 2 MBP's, 2 iPods, I'm about to get an iPhone (silly "death grip" or not) and I really want an iPad. Heck I'd really love an 8 core MacPro if I could afford one (alas I can't).
I guess my only gripe here is that there always seems to be a little less choice in the Apple world. Yeah, I know they do a lot less volume than the PC clone world I just think that they always seem to have a big gap between the high end and low end with not enough in between. So you can choose between the lower end and one piece units with no expansion boards (the mini or the iMac) or go straight to monster tower MacPro (way over 3K with display). You can get a MacBook but then you have to put up with a small screen or go with MacBook Pro, which let's face it is a lot of computing power for someone who just wants to web surf and write some email without squinting.
So here I am stuck in the middle. I don't want to buy a HannspreeQG or another piece of junk that's going to last 3 years and 3 months because of a crappy $2 capacitor that no seems to able to fix or care about fixing. I'd like to buy a really nice Apple monitor, I just want a big monitor, not a huge one and not a "medium" one (I know I'm spoiled but 24" seems "medium" these days).
Sorry about the rant here but my monitor is shutting down every 30 seconds and I'm about to go completely insane and toss it out the window!!!
Really glad to hear about that 84' VGA cable. I never imagined such a thing existed or would work without some sort of signal boost on the way. Very cool for me. My electronic drum kit is in another room and I would love to have a small cheap monitor next to it for sequencing. I had my laptop on a stand next to it for a while but I began to get terrified that I'd let a drumstick slip and destroy my laptop screen. That would be a very bad thing. Thanks for the tip. -
Can I use my external HD for Time Machine and still use it for storage?
I have a 1TB external HD and my computer has yet to arrive. I was planning on backing it up via Time Machine and I'm wondering if my external HD will still be useable as a storage device once I pair it with Time Machine.
There's no way the backup will take up the full 1TB of space, so I'm hoping it doesn't just go to waste >.<If you really only want backups of the current contents, don't use Time Machine.
It's designed to keep copies of things you've changed or deleted for as long as possible. This allows you an excellent chance to recover a previous version of something you changed or deleted in error.
It also allows you to revert your entire system to the exact state it was in at the time of any previous backup, even if that's a different version of OSX. It's rare, but if an OSX update, or installation of a kernel extension or 3rd-party app makes a huge mess, it's much easier and more reliable than rebuilding everything.

Data Recovery - External Hard Drive
Hi,
I have recently copied over a folder on my iOmega (Prestige Portable) External Hard Drive with a folder from my Power Book Hard Drive, with the replace all.
What I need to know is there a way to step back to the point before I copied over this folder?
Ok so here comes the Dumb bit, I have never set up Time Machine! Yes I know, very stupid!
So I'm now in the process of seeing if it is possible to step back with data recovery software and if this is possible what do people reccomend! I have tried SanDisk RescuePro but It comes up with a message saying that the drive is too big, I think it is meant for Flash Drives!
Have I posted this in the right Discussion thread? If not were do you think I would be best to post this?

Us mere mortals do tend to learn things the hard way, don't we?

FIrst, stop using the drive immediately. If the files haven't been overwritten already, the more you use it, the more likely that is.
There are several Data Recovery apps for Macs; +Data Rescue II+ seems to be the one mentioned here most often, but others get good reviews, too. I've not used any, so can't say one is better than another.
I understand you'll need another external disk to receive the recovered files. (But you'll probably need one anyway for Time Machine or other backup app that you'll be using regularly from now on, right? You can use a second internal HD, Time Capsule, or in some cases back-up over your network.)
I also understand that some of these apps have a trial version that will tell you whether there's anything to be recovered, and perhaps recover a single file, so you don't spend the $$ for nothing.
Look for +Data Recovery+ via Google, VersionTracker.com or MacUpdate.com. The last two have user reviews. Just be certain whatever you use is compatible with Leopard.
And/or, search for +Data Recovery+ in the Using Leopard forum.

Is external hard drive large enough?
I am new to Time Machine. I currently have an external 750G hard drive that I plan to use with Time Machine. My question is: Is this hard drive large enough to do a system backup? My concern is will this hard drive serve my needs for future backups. I am an average user and don't plan to back up large data files other than photos and music. Also I plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard(OS 10.6).

Unable to locate external device after upgrade
i have been using FCE 2.0.3 and mac os 10.3 to view clips on video monitor (tv) easy set up was dv pal. so i chose view and and then firewire from the FCE menu to review clips on video monitor through my cannon mv750i-worked ok until recently. I have also been able to capture as well. Nothing wrong with the camera as it works ok in another computer (power pc) which has mac os 10.4.7 but fce is still 2.0.3. So is something i am not doing?
i then upgraded to mac os 10.4 and fce to 3.5 and easy set up also at same dv pal and a window message comes up informing me that "unable to locate external device" or you have changed system configurations. I have made sure that the camera is on. so please can someone tell me what i can do?When I recently upgraded from OSX 10.3.9 to OSX 10.4.7 I found that FCE 3.0 would not recognise the camera.
When I upgraded to QuickTime 7.1.2 the problem immediately disappeared.
