Backup is at 42% with 3-Blu-ray(25GB) something is very wrong.

About 3 to 4 month ago are computer downloaded Adobe 11, but could not install. A sercurity message from Norton 360 premier said their was a problem, so I called Norton and they said to call HP support. I called HP support and told them what happen and they remotely fix the problem, I thought. To make a long story short they had after multiple remote sessions connected a HP personal media drive(1TB) to the c: drive(1TB) mirrored E: drive(1TB) and I have 500GB HP Pocket Media Drive. I was told to buy a extenal harddrive which I did, 750GB in size, then another one at 1TB in size they ar both full, so I'm using 25GB Blu-ray disk for backups. I 'm not teck savvy which I told HP support and all I wanted was to save Data, Pics, Docs and personal information. Some teck savvy friends told me to buy two new internal hard drives and get the HP Recovery Disk and start all over. Then take the harddrives and have a professional extract all recoverable Data, Pics, Docs, and any other personal information. Personally I think I've been hoodwinked. Second, I'm having problems with the wireless network. Called HP support they told me it was AT&T U-verse problem so I called AT&T they check the line, modem and router and they said everything check out aright, but they said we are going to send a replacement. I called HP support told them what AT&T said and the spent 3-4 hrs. and told me there is something wrong with the printer and they are sending me a re condition replacement.

Hi,
Please post the exact HP product number for your PC. What operating system are you running?
Mirroring hard drives is good for redundancy but not for increasing space. If you are taking frequent backups then you don't need to mirror the hard drive.
Part of the given advice is partially correct.
Using a program that is capable of taking differential backups would allow you to maximize your external storage devices. Once the external devices start reaching capacity and you don't need the older versions of the data then just reset the backup set and start fresh by creating a new backup set.
Unless you are using BD-RE then cost and backup time is something to consider. I would recommend that you only use BD media for write once archived data.

How to get my iPod Classic 160 to work with my blu ray disc player

How do I get my iPod Classic 160 to work with my blu ray disc player?

Whats the model of the blu ray player?
I'm assuming you would have to to buy a dock or AV cables that connects to ipod and correspond with the model of player.

FD Trinitron WEGA KV-30HS420 problem with Sony Blu-ray players

I have a Sony FD Trinitron KV-30HS420 television, which has worked very well over the last 11 years or so. I've owned a Sony BDP-S780 Blu-ray player for a few years, and it has worked very well with my TV. I believe I updated the firmware on the blu-ray player a month or two ago, to the M07.R.0631 version from December 2014. When I plugged a USB flash drive into the player - one I've used several times before successfully - the screen went black. The only difference I can think of is that I created folders on the USB flash drive, and put the mp4s into the folders. I think I may have had a similar problem with the blu-ray player a year or two ago when I also used folders on the USB drive, but I was able to fix the problem by unplugging the player and rebooting. That did not resolve this issue. Now, if I try to turn on my player, which is hooked to my TV via HDMI, the "Sony Blu-ray" symbol appears as usual, then the thin blue line that stretches partially accross the screen horizontally, but at the stage where the screen will usually flicker and the blue line will expand to fill the whole length of the 16:9 screen, the screen instead turns black. It appears the player is still functioning (as I'll explain below), but the TV is no longer able to process the signal. I spent several hours with Sony tech support going through everything - checking the connections, swapping HDMI cables, lowering the resolution on the player, and changing other player settings, but I still have the same problem. If I hook the player up to a newer Vizio HD television, everything works fine - which is why the player seems to be functioning ok. If I hook my HD DVR to my television, it continues to work fine as well - so I don't think it's a problem with my HDMI connection on my TV. It appears to be a communication issue between the blu-ray player and the TV. I have been meaning to buy a second blu-ray player anyway, so I purchased a Sony BDP-S5500, thinking that might resolve the issue. But the exact same thing happens when I plug it into my Sony TV. That blu-ray player also works fine with the newer Vizio TV.
I spent several additional hours with Sony support making sure there wasn't an issue with the new Blu-ray player. This included about an hour of hold time, and being forwarded to over 4 different support staff, including an "escalated" forward to a "Level 5" support staff. I had to repeat the issue several times to the staff, including Yeng (Employee #C8WZ), Charlie (Employee #C75Y), and Mel (Employee #C822). The first staff I spoke with - Eric - told me he'd call back the next day after checking compatibility issues. Neither he, nor any other Sony staff, called back after 2 days, so I called support again - they had no record of my conversation with Eric, and I had to start the whole process over again. The Sony phone support so far has been very disappointing, to say the least. Any help would be appreciated. I'm guessing that by plugging in the USB with the folder structure, it somehow triggered a setting on the older BDP-S780 blu-ray player to use an updated setting - a setting that is common with the software on the newer blu-ray player. Has anyone else had a similar issue with one of the FD Trinitron WEGA tvs? Thanks for your help.

Your older TV is not capable of displaying either 1080P or any progressive program at tthat. On a standard definition (SD) non-progressive CRT like yours, blu-ray is a complete waste. Even if it could accept the signal, it wouldn't look any better.

Replacement of Superdrive with internal Blu-Ray Rewriter?

I have an older Mac (Mid-2007) and I wanted to change the pre-installed Superdrive with this Blu-Ray internal rewriter, http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Arrival-100-Original-Slot-Load-BD-DVD-Rewrite r-UJ-225-PATA-Blu-ray-disk-Burner/168556
But I believe that the Superdrive is 9mm, would this work, (as the drive is 12.7mm).
Any help is appreciated, Thank You

To my knowledge Apple Mac OS X does not support Bluray at all. There may be an aftermarket program you could use but I'm not sure.
Also I doubt you will find a BR drive that will fit inside the space allotted for the Superdrive.

Satellite A200-21t CD/DVD drive replacement with an Blu-ray reader

Hi,
I have a Satellite A200-21t notebook that came with the mat****a UJ-850 drive.
My original drive isn't working anymore...
I'm planning to buy a new one, but i would like one that has a buit in Blu-ray dvd reader.
I heard that not all players work with Toshiba's laptops, so i would like some help to find a bluray drive that would work with my notebook.
Two drives caught my attention:
the Panasonic UJ-120 and the Sony BC 5500A.
Do these drivers work with Toshibas?
Does anyone has another suggestion?
Thanks very much for the help!

Hi
> Do these drivers work with Toshibas?
I think you will have to test it yourself.
As far as I know Toshiba didnt mention anything about compatible Blueray drives for Satellite A200.
The point is that not all drives are compatible due to different master/slave/c-sel settings.
Using not compatible ODD you will get an IDE #1 error message and the drive will not be recognized by BIOS.
But I read here in the forum that some guys managed to upgrade the own Toshiba units with a blue ray drive
Therefore Im thinking that youve got a good chance to upgrade it.

Share files on Time Capsule with wireless Blu Ray player?

We're looking at getting a Blu Ray player with built in wireless to take advantage of Amazon Prime streaming and Hulu Plus. Star Trek; TNG remastered on Bl Ray also promped me in this decision!
We already have an AppleTV and tried jailbreaking to get access to Hulu and Amazon, but the hack caused numerous issues, so back to stock it went.
I have also started ripping all of my DVDs and importing them into iTunes, but with a baby in the house it's REALLY an issue to always have a laptop open and running whenever we want to watch one of our movies. I've looked at a number of Blu Ray players that include DLNA capabilities, plus file sharing via SMBA and UPNP. My question is, will the Time Capsule serve up those files to the player? I tried DLNA shares directly through our Samsung HDTV before and it just did not work.
Does anyone have experience with a make/model of Blu Ray player playing nicely with a Time Capsule and/or an additional storage device attached to a Time Capsule?
I have also read that I absolutely, positively do NOT want to go wireless, but to use Ethernet instead. Our TV is clear on the other side of the house from the modem/Time Capsule so I'd have to pull at least 100 feet of cable to make that happen. I don't think there's any conduit into the attic at the front of the house either, since the cable box comes in in from the exterior wall, so it could be a real job. Any thoughts on that?

There are no media players in the TC whatsoever.. it is completely dumb box.. and is unsuitable as a media centre.. it is not even a file store, as it has no way to back itself up.. it is a backup target for Time Machine.
If you want DLNA you need to run a computer of some sort and use a player that can read the files and play them directly.. ie no streaming.
On the wireless to other side of the house, I do think you will have issues. Ethernet is still far superior solution and if you own the house consider it an investment in future usage.
But for now Ethernet Over Power adapters can offer superior performance to wireless and far better reliability. They are not without issues, so buy from store that offers no questions asked return.. and don't bother too much with super fast ones.. the 200mbit/s are already well above what is reality. You cannot use them on power boards generally so you also might need to think of ways around that.
If you do get stuck with wireless the TC is slow.. 2.4ghz is only 130mbps.. and range is not great. I would recommend a different device like ubiquiti router that offers high power and long range.

Toast with a Blu-ray external writer?

Hello everybody!
I am very frustrated because I just got the Samsung writer for Mac and Windows...and is not compatible with Mac...so a waste of money, and now I need to buy a real Blu-ray DVD burner for Mac...
I see a lot of people using Toaster...my question is, and is stupid at this point (sorry)....If I get the software online from Toast, do I also need to get the writer device? it comes with it? IF NOT, CAN i JUST USE THE SOFTWATE FROM TOAST AND THEN THE external BLU-RAY WRITER FROM SAMSUNG?
THANKS TO ALL!

Sure you can remove the DVD burner and put in a SATA BD-RW drive, or add the BR burner. There are 2 5.25 inch bays and only one is occupied. You will need software to watch BluRay movies and burn Blu-Ray media but it will work fine.

Can I replace my optical drive with internal blu-Ray player?

Basically what the question says. I have a MacBook Pro mid-2009, and I'm wondering if I can replace the optical drive with an internal blu-ray drive. I would want to be able to read and write to regular CD and DVD still though, that's a must. Also, if there is an internal drive I can put in, will OSX Mavericks support playing a blu-ray movie just because my computer can read it?
Thanks for any knowledge or advice you guys can offer!

No.

the beginning of some menu items plays a snowy noise intermittent with some black frames for anywhere between 3 - 6 seconds. Playing back several times, this issue happens at the beginning of different menu items (and mainly when playing a playlist with the same items).
What does menu items mean? I assume that it is menus themselves, not timeline movies?
What could Encore do that would create this? I don't know, but assume that it is more likely to do with disk seek problems and the like. And yes, where things are put physically on the disk can be an issue. But burn/disk issues are more likely.
Have you tried this on a different player?

I have downloaded the digital copies you know the ones that come with the blu ray I put in ITunes but it is not allowing me to sync it to my ipad 2? What do I do

thank you very much this has solved my problem and for that i am going to give you ten points.

Protected content issue with Sony Blu-Ray

Hi, I purchaed a Sony BDX-S500U to play Blu-Rays on my iMac - I'm running Windows 7 under Boot Camp.
However, once I try and play the movie, I get an error regarding protected content, advising me to use a different, non-digital connection to my monitor... obviously not an option.
I've tried the bundled Cyberlink software (version 9) and the trial of the Intervideo software and had the same issue. Both packages run fine up to the point where protected content tries to run.
I know this is possible - I've seen online reports of other blu-ray drives working under this configuration. But I'm wondering whether the Sony is particularly finicky about HDCP compliance, or whether there is some glitch with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 and its connection to the screen.
All drivers are up to date, and the system is an 2009 i7 running at 2.8Ghz.
Has anyone seen this issue before? Is there a workaround?
Thanks!

The bottom line here is that streaming video requires a huge amount of bandwidth and very few wireless networks will be able to deliver this type of performance. I'm afraid that it is going to have to be a wired Ethernet connection for reliable video and network performance on your network.
Not sure if you have DirectTV or not, but their new Whole Home setup is not even supported over wireless...you have to have Ethernet cables connecting the DVRs to your router. Same reason..wireless just won't deliver the goods for most folks when trying to stream video....especially high defintion video.

How do I use my Airport Express with a Blu-ray player?

Hello, first post, long time lurker. Have a question, hope someone can help me
I have an Airport Express V 6.3, currently I have it set to 'Join a wireless network' and its connected wirelessly through a Netgear router that is located on the 1st floor, I'm on 3rd floor by the way. I've been using it for airtunes, but I recently received a Sony Blu-ray Player and would like to connect it the airport express via ethernet cable.
What do I have to set up on the airport express to be able to give the blu-ray player internet?
I've noticed many threads here about airport extreme connected to express...so they weren't too helpful

Welcome to the discussion area, mareithree!
You'll need the 802.11"n" version of the AirPort Express to be able to "Enable ethernet clients" and connect the DVD player. Unfortunately, your older version of the Express does not allow this type of feature.

Since the last update Firefox has been crashing constantly and something is VERY WRONG with the update!!!!!!!!! Why?

Since the last update to Firefox, I have had crashes non stop about every ten minutes or so, with very typical use. The update SUCKS and is crashing computers. I am SURE I am not the only one. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP. I have been a Firefox user forever, but now going to Chrome and Explorer until I hear from you about fixing this issue. Never before have I had this problem with Firefox. Bums me out. But I can't deal with the constant crashes and it is ABSOLUTELY since the last update a day or two ago.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Something is VERY wrong with iTunes patch 10.5.2.11

After a 5th (clean) reinstall and even system restore it's STILL not working and frozen while accessing the store. Unrecoverable error with no message... reinstalling older version not possible as it says files are missing. 3 hours later and I have had a gutfull... what's going on?
Only thing I have done different is registered with Ping and then installed the patch released earlier today.

Try this....
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP-SP2 & Above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/ choose "Command Prompt"
In the Command Prompt screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now

Backup is at 42% with 3-Blu-ray(25GB) something is very wrong.
