Do not buy the USB3 PNY Turbo Flash Drive!
I have highly recommended the USB 3 PNY Turbo Flash Drive in the recent past as a fantastic Read storage device. Well do not buy it. PNY drastically changed the memory chips inside without changing the model number and now it is a terrible device for holding your media for editing operations.
Thanks to Randall for making me aware of this problem. I now have 4 of the older good type and 3 bum ones. Here are two Windows 8 transfer plots of a large AVI file from the USB 3 Flash drive to a Samsung 840 Pro on my laptop. The first one is the original one that I purchased last July with a file transfer rate of 185 MB/s, and the second plot is the lousy performance of 120 MB/sec.of one of the last devices purchased in November.
The new ones are usable but nowhere as desirable as the 1st generation. I checked several websites and see that they no longer advertise the old faster specifications. Also I have tested all my devices and scoring is consistent and very repeatable. Now, that I know it is possible, I will start looking for a new vender that give the great read rate ideal for laptop editing. Of course it is not as convenient as a USB 3 Flash drive but my Vantec NexStar 6G USB 3 SSD enclosure with a Samsung 840 Pro drive has a Read rate of 250 MB/second.
Bill,
It looks like you may have to settle for a slower flash drive at this price point for the foreseeable future: Every single one of the USB 3.0 flash drives at this capacity point that delivers at least the same level of read performance as the original PNY Turbo costs much more money than the PNY. ($150-ish for a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive, anyone?)
With that said, the PNY Turbo 3.0 is only intended to compete with the slower USB 3.0 flash drives such as the SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 drive (whose maximum read speed is only 100 MB/sec even in its largest-capacity 128GB version).

Do not buy the HP Spectre X360
The Spectre X360 was a laptop I wish I had not purchased. The most expensive buy I’ve made, and my first HP laptop, and it has been disastrous. It does not seem to be just me with these issues. The wifi and internet – the main reason I use the laptop – has been poor ever since I got it. It only connects if I'm next to my router, and if I leave the room it disconnects. This has not been a problem on my iPhone, my Sky+ box, other laptops. I’ve spent hundreds of pounds and hundreds of hours trying to change my network in my house to make the situation better. From wireless adapters to new routers to powerlink adapters. I’ve downloaded driver after driver from HP and Intel, tweaked the settings. Every update brings a glimmer of hope before having the same issues. Updating to Windows 10 is the final straw, having made it worse. I’m not alone. I search Twitter, the HP forums, Reddit, and everyone is saying the same. They’d wished they’d not made the purchase. HP’s advice was to get them to replace the card. But what’s the point? I lose the laptop I rely on for work for two weeks, when it is clear from the forums this action is of no use. The card simply doesn't work with the laptop. How can six months after release this still be an issue? Had I not spent £1000 this would have probably gone out of the window with the anger. To make matters worse four months later the keys have started to wear off and it no longer looks like the beautiful model I once bought. They are marked, and the paint has come off. How is that even possible so soon? It no longer looks or feels like a premium purchase. If I’d reacted sooner I would have got my money back and gone for an Apple Macbook or a Microsoft Surface. I fear this will fall on deaf ears as per the forum topics, tweets, and contact with support. I do not want a replacement card, it makes no difference. I would rather have a refund.

How can I move my albums, including the title of the album , with the pictures to a flash drive. Every thing I try I only get the pictures but they are not in the album.
Create a folder on the Desktop with the ablum name. Then export the contents of your iPHoto album into that folder. Drag the folder onto the flash drive.

I have FCPX 10.0.0 I'm trying to install updates. It's not allowing me to do this. The App Store says I did not buy the FCPX from the App store. Which I did. Can anyone help me figure out how to update my FCPX?
Hi , a similar thing happened to me with another piece of software .. it was then that I realized I have two accounts .. I have no recollection of setting up two but it seems I did somewhere along the line.. I have jimkells and the second is [email protected] .. so when I logged in as the other acc there it was and I was able to update .. could it be FCPX was bought on another user account ??

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?
If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful. -

I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
Thank you so much for any answers posted.
Best,

Yes

If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!
