Data Stick

Just bought new laptop - it came with data stick but no operating manual. Where can I find information on it?
How do I use it? Can I use it to transfer files from Acer laptop to HP laptop (i.e., does it go into standard-size port)?

Hi ezehlef,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I grasp that you purchased a new notebook and it came with a data stick. Another name for a data stick is a USB drive.
You should be able to connect it to a USB port, it is a plug and play device and Windows should automatically install it and show as another drive. If it does not automatically open the drive go to computer and double click on the drive to reveal the contents if there is any. As the data stick came with the notebook, it may have important information on it.
Here is a definition from WikipediA USB flash drive.
I hope this has answered your question.

I can export many iphoto events to a Data stick. I want to do the same with a DVD. When I do the DVD window is blank. If I drag and drop can only do one. Help

I can "export", using file, many iphoto events to a data disk. When I do the same to a DVD the DVD window is blank and nothing has been exported. When I use drag and drop to a DVD it works but I can only get one event on the disk. How do I export many iphoto events to a DVD. I am using a write only DVD. I am using a Mac Book Pro OS 10. Thanks in advance.

When I click on the data stick icon on my desk top a window comes up. It lists the various events that I have exported. If i click on an event each picture shows up in a list. I can click on the picture and view a jpeg photo or view a avi video. When I export I select "original" as the file type. When I export to a DVD and klick on the the DVD icon the window shows up but it is blank.

Woke up this am and opened Finder to find no sign of HD icon or a data stick I'd inserted. Couldn't open or eject the data stick as a result. Is there a way around this?

Woke up this am and opened Finder to find no sign of HD icon or a data stick I'd inserted. Couldn't open or eject the data stick as a result. Is there a way around this? Can I reconfugure my Finder to show the HD Icon and also to display data stick or external drives?

"Shut Down" the machine (not Sleep), remove the data stick, then power on the machine.

4G LTE Data-stick Mac/Linux/Windows-other authentication information.

The following information has been released publicly by VZW advanced support so I feel I can share this now:
If you want to use the UML290 on the Mac/Linux/UNIX/other-platforms you can now do so if you have the engineering knowledge or a little know-how:
Quick Notes: Verizon 4G LTE uses the GSM APN authentication method through a GGSN (similar to AT&T) and 3G (1X/EVDO) traditional uses the HA CDMA method. The old CDMA authentication method has been posted years before so I won't repost that.
You WILL NOT GET SUPPORT UNTIL THE OFFICIAL VZACCESS Software comes out on the Mac.
4G LTE GSM General Device Settings-
Phone Number: PhoneNumber
Account name: [email protected]
Password: vzw
Advanced Settings-
Carrier: Generic
Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)
APN: vzwinternet
CID: 1
Click OK, then connect and enjoy.
So on the Mac connection manager (generic apple), make a profile for your UML290 hardware, should be a modem. Make a GSM connection profile with the above. Phone number is your data-stick phone number (fake phone number, used for system identification, get it from VZAccess or your account page online). Account name is "[email protected]". (Basically add @vzw4g.com to your phonenumber. Password is "vzw", same as 3g CDMA. In GSM/3G/4G carrier use generic (no special parameters). Model is GPRS (GSM/3G, same as 4G). GSM APN is "vzwinternet". CID is 1 if your drivers need it.
Enjoy 4G LTE GSM technology by VZW on your Mac! I will be running this on my Linux engineering dev machine soon. Finally I LOVE YOU VZW!
Oh and if you're just installing it without a Windows machine using it at least once, your SIM card has to be provisioned by VZW support or a store...
If you want a visual Mac guide:
http://homepage.mac.com/jrc/contrib/tzones/
Official VZW support (replace the inetgsm.vzw3g.com APN used for overseas roaming with the 4g APN used domestically as listed above):
Mac: http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=30063
Windows XP/Vista/7 (If you don't want to use VZAccess): http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=29355
Username/Password/Everything as said above applies, replace as needed.
NO VZAccess on Mac yet, check your data usage on vzw.com my account... The SMS warning messages should work since it's a standard GSM 3G/4G implementation by VZW if you can get a Mac/Linux app that watches for SMS from the data modem driver interface.
Verizon will probably add a second APN for smart-phones when they come out with LTE chips. Example: The "vzwinternet" APN gives you a public IP address as that's mean't for data-sticks. They will probably use something (I'm just guessing here) like "advdevice" for smart-phones and that will give the smart-phone a private IP address (10.x.x.x) like the current CDMA HA's do. With APN data traffic separation VZW with 4G GSM tech. can manage traffic volumes better with bandwidth limits, etc. AT&T/T-Mobile are doing the same now and it has recently been implemented on the legacy CDMA HA's also. Also firewalling, security.

Oh on the Mac, Apple's GSM (3G/4G/LTE) dialer should work automatically with the above settings. If not try telling Apple's OSX native dialer to dial "#777" for the LTE modem. So far my reports on this engineering fix is that ONLY THE UML290 WORKS WITH OSX! VL600 is using some proprietary LG chipset (aka NON-QUALCOMM which works with OSX LTE) that I can't figure out until VZW fixes it officially with LG.

OS X Lion & BSNL 3G HSDPA USB Data stick

Hi Guys,
I have a 3G USB Datastick (Teracom LW273) provided by BSNL (an Indian telco). They had a Mac OS X Snow Leopard version of the dialer which worked fine. It uses some kind of Qualcom chipset (I have been unable to find a datasheet on it & mfg website points to some spamm website)
I recently installed OS X Lion & the dialer doesn’t work anymore. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the dialer several times to no avail.
How can I get the dialer to work under Lion? Is there a Lion compatible dialer version out there? Does Teracom have a website or contact information anywhere?
Anyone from India who uses BSNL 3G having this issue?
Thanks!

Date and time lost

seems that everytime I reboot this G4 macbook I need to reset the time and date.
Is there somewhere to make the time and date stick?

Try resetting PRAM…

… and failing that it's possible that you have a bad internal battery (which is used to help store this information). Hopefully a PRAM reset will resolve this.

Restoring Mac HD to previous date without losing user data

I installed about 3 applications in the past 2 weeks and have noticed my computer is definitely slower than it was... rendering web pages and simple things just aren't as snappy anymore.
On the Support site there lots of articles explaining how to completely restore my system disk and other tell me how to retrieve an old version of files/folders... but how do I restore my system disk with out losing my mail, ical, addres book, itunes lib, skype data, stickies and all other data I have changed and want to keep since the install?
Please help. If restoring the entire HD and then restoring individual files/folders I want back from todays date in Time Machine then so be it.
If there is an easier way then please let me know.
Thanks

you can do it but it has to be done in two steps. first, make a TM backup. to speed things up just choose 'backup now" from the TM menu. next, do a full system restore by booting from the leopard install dvd. once the system is restored log out of your current account and log into another admin account. create one using system preferences->accounts. then go to the folder /users at the top level of the drive and restore the home directory of your main user from the most recent TM backup available. then log into your main account and all your recent data will be there.

Specify the output date to be of a Specified date format.

     DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
     String dateString = "12/12/2006";
     Date dateStringInDateFormat = formatter.parse(dateString);
     System.err.println("the date"+dateStringInDateFormat);
     String str1 = formatter.format(dateStringInDateFormat);
     System.err.println("the date in string format"+str1);
     DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
     df.setLenient(false);
     Date stick = df.parse(str1);
      System.err.println("The final date to be passed"+stick);The output that i get on screen:
the date Tue Dec 12 00:00:00 GMT 2006
the date in String format 12/12/2006
The final date to be passed Tue Dec 12 00:00:00 GMT 2006
I want the final date to be passed i.e, Date stick to be 12/12/2006
Can anyone helpme in this issue

DateFormats do not change what a Date object contains or how it is displayed. They are only used to format the output when you use them with format(Date). The Date object itself is unchanged and you cannot change it.
So whereever you want to display a date in your particular format you will need to use your DateFormat.

Another PSE 8 Changing Date Problem

I'm a long-time PSE5 user who has just downloaded the PSE8 trial.
Whenever, I select a photo in the organizer and then go into either full or quick edit, the file properties' date created and date modified are changed to the current date - even if I have not edited or resaved the file. Moreover, if the date of the "unedited" photo had previously been set as unknown ("????"), the date that appears in the organizer is changed to this "revised" (i.e., current) date created/modified.
I can't seem to find a preference that would cause this unwanted change. Is this a (critical) bug in PSE8 or is there a way of avoiding the problem?

Thanks for the response, Barb. My preferences box "Use modified date if EXIF data is not found" was unchecked, so that doesn't solve my problem.
Based on the link you referred me to, it looks as if Adobe introduced this unknown date bug in PSE 6 and still has not (and probably never will) corrected it. Assuming there's no fix, I guess my choices are to convert all my scanned photos to a dummy date, stick with PSE 5 (my knee jerk reaction) until I get a new computer which has Windows 7 (which may or may not be compatible with PSE 5) or find another data management program.
It's too bad because I like the way Organizer handles hierarchical tags, collections and version sets - much better, IMO, than Bridge in Photoshop CS3 which I also have. FWIW, I generally start with the PSE Organizer and use CS3 as my external edititor.

How can I keep data costs low? And what is Data Roaming?

Having trouble staying within data limits and having to pay a fee any suggestions for how to avoid this??? Also, does Data Roaming affect anything?

Well data roaming can seriously affect your bank balance! It is what you use when wanting to use data services abroad and can be very, VERY expensive, depending on where you're from and where you are. Best to keep it switched off when abroad apart from when you definitely want to use it, and use wi-fi as much as possible.
If you are generally struggling to say within your data limit, then maybe it is not enough - how much is it? Avoid downloading music, podcasts, apps and app updates on cellular data - stick to wi-fi for that. But it may be that you need to up the data amount in your plan, and altering the plan may be cheaper than paying every month to top up.

Date Auto Fill

Is it possible to have a formula that, when that cell is clicked and entered into, it auto fills out today's date?
Many thanks for any help,
Cptbigt

As Jerry said, you can use the TODAY function which will always have today's date (assuming you opened the document today or made a change to it today). It updates to the current date whenever the document is opened or modified. However, if you want to have that date "stick" and never change, you should use Insert Date & Time, which Jerry also mentioned. The other difference is that TODAY sets the time to 0:00 while Date & Time sets it to the current time. So, if you do Date & Time and your spreadsheet has any comparisons that involve comparing two "date" cells to see if they are equal, remember that the time is different.
In Apple/System Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts you can add a shortcut for Date & Time so you can insert it with a key combination rather than from the menu. Much easier.
If you format the date cells beforehand, you can get the date in the format you want rather than the default format or having to double click and choose a format.

Help me find my missing "CashFlow HD" data from my ipad!

I turned on my ipad this afternoon and found 12 months of data missing from CashFlow HD. My husband transfered some music from the imac to the ipad today and he says the data was there this morning when he put in today's purchases. Can anyone help me find my data?

Chris,
Don't quote me on this but here is a possible solution to your problem.
First get all your music files from your usb data stick or external hard drive and copy/cut (your choice) and paste the songs into your itunes music folder.
Once thier in your itunes music folder drag and drop them into your itunes library.
If that doesn't work
Take all your songs off of your usb data or your external hard drive stick and place them on your desktop.
Once the songs are on your desktop, drag and drop them into iTunes.
Once the songs are in iTunes go to Advanced> Consolidate Libary
(this takes all of your music files and places them into the iTunes music folder.)
Then you can take all of your music files and place them in a folder in your my music folder.
Again I cant guarantee this will work if it doesn't you will just have to import your songs the long way.
Also when all your music works you should make a back-up disc in iTunes that way if your computer crashes you can just insert the backup disc and it will restore all of your iTunes music, podcasts, games for your iPod, and movies.
To learn how to do this see this link:
