Disk shock protection for Dell laptop

Welcome Archers!
I have laptop Dell Studio 1558. I want to turn disk shock protection.
I read the wiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/La … protection
and
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HDAPS
but I do not know what method is good for Dell.

I don't think any of those will work for you, Becoz both of them are clearly not targeting dell.
It wont hurt to try, but how will you know that its proctecting your Disk?

What level of disk shock protection is there in Portege R830

Folks,
I work in an area where there are lots of people who carry their Portege Laptops (mostly R830's) around while they're still on - mainly while they're moving from desks to meeting rooms etc, and often carrying them on an angle. I feel a bit silly because I insist on putting mine to sleep before I move it.
What level of disk shock protection is there in these laptops? Am I being paranoid or is everyone else inviting disaster?
Thanks,
Yokki

Hi
First of all its not really good for the HDD if the notebook would be moved while the HDD is in use in such case the HDD read/write head would be affected while carrying along but there is a software called Toshiba HDD protection which use an sensor built in the notebook. the HDD protection detects the vibrations and shocks and automatically moves the HDD head in a safe position to reduce the risk of damage caused by head to disk contact.
Here more details:

Help with enabling TPM in Task Sequence for Dell Laptops

Hi there,
I would appreciate some advice on creating a task sequence for Win8.1 with TPM enabling for Dell laptops; I have BitLocker set up manually with a Group policy, but want to have TPM enabled in the task sequence. I have read older posts on sites such as windows
noob, but can't see how to reference the CCTK and get TPM going for win8.1 in a SCCM2012 environment.
Obviously I haven't created this before so any help would be appreciated; I have noticed when I try to import my CCTK configurations into SCCM as it isn't a zip file I cannot do it.

Luckily Dell wrote a whitepaper about that subject, see:

IMac (8,1) As Display for Dell Laptop...

Hi All! I just picked up a Dell Inspirion laptop for expanded music production (FL Studio) but the screen is a bit small for my liking as I'm used to the 21.5 screen of the iMac. I wanted to know, is it possible to use the iMac as a display for the Dell? SInce this is a pretty old model of the iMac (8,1) it doesn't support Thunderbolt; so with the other options, will it be able to work? If so, how? Thanks in advance for the answers!

Not directly, no. Your iMac doesn't support Target Disk Mode that would allow you to connect another computer directly. Whether there's software that would allow the iMac to be used as a network display for a Windows system, as ScreenRecycler does to allow another computer as a second display for a Mac, I don't know, but that would be your only option for using the iMac as a second display.
Otherwise, you can take control of your Dell from your Mac via Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client. But it might be more time and cost effective to just pick up a larger LCD screen for your laptop. You can find 24" LCD monitors for well under $200 these days.
Regards.

Can I install windows on a Mac Mini using a disk copy of my Dell laptop

I am just aquiring a late 2012 Mac mini to replace my aging Dell laptop.
My copy of Windows 7 is an U/G copy from Vista, however my Vista copy is an OEM version
and so will only install on the Dell.
Can I make a disk copy of the Dell HDD and install on the Mac as though I am installing onto a new Windows HD?
Any help will be much appreciated as though I have a Mac Book I'm not a Mac expert by any means

I doubt it. How did you plan to install it?
Using bootcamp?
A virtual machine like VirtualBox?
Those install using a ISO or DVD

Identity protection for my laptop

Is there any free software to protect my identity for my laptop?

Please describe what you are trying to prevent. There is antivirus and also anonymous web surfing applications which run your web traffic through a proxy server and then there is anti-theft software that can track your laptop if it gets stolen. Not sure which you are asking about, if it is even one of the above and not something else.

Hard disk shock protection

I want to upgrade my internal 80GB Toshiba HDD to a 160GB Hitachi drive.
I have read that the Macbook HDD shock protection system is on the motherboard
and that any drive will be protected. Does anyone know for sure if this is true ?
Thanks, Tom

Thanks, Kappy
On the old Toshiba drive there was a 3 or 4 pin connector that isn't present
on the Hitachi, and I thought this had something to do with the HDSP.

Deploy Endpoint Protection for 40+ laptops

Hey there smart people! I am in the process of bringing 40+ laptops out of workgroup mode onto the domain, and want to design a security solution for them other than named AV accounts. I've worked with SC products before but in a Dev environment,
not production. I'm concerned with the cost of a full-blown system center deployment to manage 40+ roaming laptops and a dozen servers.
Security Essentials, however, is not licensed for businesses with more than 10 machines, so I need to figure out the best way to manage these things. Windows In-Tune has been brought up as a solution as well.
If I go with a self-managed solution like SCCM Endpoint Production, what products do I need to license and manage?
Thanks,
Joe

ConfigMgr is way too much for what you want. You can buy Intune licenses for $7/month per user. I have an Intune Guide here. You can see how easy it easy to deploy and manage.

AI just purchased McAfee security for my laptop. One of there features rates the safety of sites when running

i purchased McAfee protection for my laptop. one of the features is that it rates the safety of sites when running a search. McAfee says this feature only works with Firefox. Firefox says it is not compatible with McAfee. Is there another version that I can use? or....?

The McAfee Site Advisor 3.3.1 extension was the number 2 cause of crashes in one of the Firefox 5.0 betas and Mozilla Blocklisted it. That extension is disabled in Firefox 5, Firefox 6.0beta, and Firefox 7.0alpha versions. McAfee is working on a new re-written version of the Site Advisor extension to fix their problems - ETA is mid to end of July. https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/

My iTunes suddenly stopped working and doesn't recognize any of my devices and gives me a AMD error. I've tried several times to uninstall all Apple programs and reinstall to no avail. I'm running windows 7 on a Dell laptop. It worked fine for years then I decided to update my iPhone 4S and it didn't recognize it or any other iPod or iPad.
Can someone please help ?

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!
