Does the WD SmartWare needs to run all the time?

Hi. I use WD SmartWare (not Pro, just the free version) to do my backups to WD My Cloud. I also use WD Quick View, which is running at all times. WD SmartWare is set up to continuous back up (i.e. monitoring my drives and copying files over when new files are added etc.).  Does it have to be running all the time for that or maybe WD Quick View controls the backups somehow? If SmartWare needs to run at all times, is there any way of minimizing it to system tray rather than to the taskbar? It's really annoying that the icon just sits there... I like my taskbar to be tidy! Thanks

Smartware will run continuously in the background as a service, but no the app GUI itself doesn't need to be open all the time. Once installed it will set itself up to do that, so you only need to open the actual app GUI if you want to start/edit./stop the configuration for the backup itself. Your taskbar can be nice and tidy

  • Does GeForce 7350LE video card fan run all the time or at certain temperatures?

    I have a HP Pavilion m8147c  Media Center with AMD Atlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz  3GB Ram and when running lately the monitor has started to go into sleep mode or something.Sometimes there is a warning that says something like no signal from DVI and one more but doesn't stay on long enough to read it all.I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.I had just installed a new game but pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I used System Restore and backed up to a time before it was installed.At first it was only when playing games but now it happens with hardly anything running.This pc was bought in july 2007 and I have another desktop but I let my wife use one and I use the other.I opened the case and cleaned out all the dust but noticed when I started it up again the fan is not running on the video card.I don't know if it comes on at certain temps or runs all the time but I feel this is the problem.It has been on for about an hour and not come on at all.Any information will be appreciated.

    Hello captna, Usually when you purchase a new video card or other hardware device, the drivers that are included on the CD are an older version, sometimes as much as six months old. The chipset on any Brand of a given model would be either an Nvidia or an AMD ATI.
    The chipset is the main component of the video card that controls most of the operations of the video card.
    Since all the manufacturers of the Nvidia video cards use the chipset purchased from Nvidia, they are all the same chipset for any particular model. The different manufacturers can and do add or enable features for their particular cards, but the chipset is still the same.
    Since the drivers from the manufacturer would be an older version, and Nvidia releases new versions quite often, it would be best to use the Nvidia drivers, since they would have updated fixes and sometimes features, and added support for some newer cards.
    Your reference to the Memory Interface on both cards is 64 bit, has nothing to do with your version of the operating system. It just relates to the way, and speed of the interaction of the video card with the system (buss).
    The higher the number of the Memory Interface, the more data that can be moved in and out of the video card, which results in a faster video performance. This just becomes important when playing games for the most part.
    Using the system just for web surfing, emailing and some light gaming, would not have that much effect on the system.
    More important to the system would be the amount of video card onboard memory. The Gigabyte has 1 GB of onboard memory compared to your original video card with 128 MBs of memory. This additional memory would likely show a slight performance increase in any light gaming.
    You want see much, if any difference in the performance of your system, with the exception of perhaps the light gaming performance increase, with the new Gigabyte video card over the  GeForce 7350LE. You should not  experience the heat related issue as you had with the faulty fan on the  GeForce 7350LE.

  • Windows 8 Start-Up Do I need to run all the Creative Cloud Tasks

    Creative Cloud has set up 5 start up processes with High impact on start-up time. (Adobe CEF helper etc.).  Are these really necccessary when I am not running CC applications?   Will they start anyway when I boot a CC application if I disable them at start-up?

    Have disabled them and Photoshop CC starts normally as does the creative cloud management app.when aelected in the normal way.
    Edit I note that the creative cloud app has a preference to start it at start up or not - default is to start at start up.

  • What is the application I need to continue all the applications from my creative cloud account?

    Creative Cloud partial download, continue download,

    Hi Jimm -
    I'm not sure I understand your situation.  Do you currently have a creative cloud membership?  If you do, are you having problems installing the software?  The Adobe Application manager is the program that installs the desktop applications for Creative Cloud Members - is that what you are using?
    If you can provide some more details we'll be able ot help you.
    Thanks,

  • Since the iOS7 update on my iPad 2, I am having trouble charging it if it runs all the way down, and now, my Safari won't work at all, and it locks up when I click on Safari in the Setting section.  I have tried restoring, and Safari still does not work??

    I cannot reset the Ipad either, Safari won't work, and it won't charge properly if the battery runs all the way down...

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • HT200109 Why only sometimes does movies on Apple Tv show the buy option, I need it there all the time?

    Why only sometimes does movies on Apple Tv show the buy option, I need it there all the time?

    Two reasons:
    The movie companies control what Apple can sell/rent - sometimes they simply change it to purchase only or rental only.
    Secondly, if your Settings for Itunes store are set to HD sometimes you won't see an option to purchase or even teh movie at all if it's only available in SD.
    There are also sometimes discrepancies between iTunes on computer and AppleTV implying the stores work slightly differently or have different connections.  Check if it's available in iTunes.

  • T61 fan runs all the time on AC, does not when on battery

    Hello,
    with the lastest BIOS (and those before) my T61's (8889)  fan runs all the time when it is AC powered. (After initial start it begins with 0, then ~2500 rpm, then ~3100 rpm and then stays there even if idle).
    When on battery under the same circumstances, it doesn't go above ~2500rpm (which is far less noisy then the ~3100rpm level) and often it even stops.
    As far as the BIOS settings allow, it is trimmed to max. power saving also when AC powered but still it's getting on my nerves.
    Can Lenovo please look into this and make it as quiet as it is on battery also when on AC?
    P.S. I cannot see that the temperature levels as reported through ACPI are any higher on AC then on battery, so I don't understand why the fan has to run all the time that loud when on AC.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
     There are two options for you to consider:
    1) Better CPU speed management:
    - Install a utility called "RMClock" to better manage the CPU (it's a free utility that throttles the CPU to run at different speeds depending on the needs - the CPU speeds increase automatically to full power when required).
    - By regulating the CPU speed, the fan will not need to work that often to expell hot air, because the CPU generates much less heat.
    - you will find a quick "how-to" for using RMClock --> HERE
    2) BIOS thermal management
    - You can change the BIOS settings for the "thermal management" (enter BIOS, choose "Config", then "Thermal Management" ) . Change the fan control from "performance" to "battery optimized" under the "plugged-in" option. This will reduce the frequency with which the fan runs, but beware that if your system is plugged in and you're not using any CPU management - meaning that your CPU is running at full speed, then the system will heat up more than you'll be comfortable with!!
    I would therefore suggest that you use a CPU throttling management utility (like RMClock mentioned above) together with the thermal management option in your BIOS. This will reduce the frequency with which the fan starts and operates but still keeping the system cool.
    A completely different approach is to install and use "Thinkpad Fan Control" -- read this thread ... Be aware that the utility takes a lot of tweaking to get the settings right, but also be aware that you can damage your system if you do not make the right settings!!!
    Hope this helps!

  • Fan running all the time - 2011 21.5 inch i5 iMac

    I purchased a new 2011 21.5-inch: 2.7GHz i5 on Friday just gone (2 days ago). All was going well with the new toy until this morning (Sunday).
    Suddenly the CPU fan was running all the time and at full speed when the computer was not under any real load - very noisy.
    I have reset the PRAM and SMC several times now. Within 30 seconds of each reboot the CPU fan reaches 4000 rpm and stays there.
    When I run a hardware test I get the following error - Error 4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2p--124. This error is detected under both the quick and extended tests.
    I do have to say that I am disappointed that 2 days out of the box it looks like I am return the iMac to the Authorised Reseller.
    Can anyone confirm my understanding that:
    a) the CPU fan running loud and hard (4000 rpm) when not under load is NOT normal
    b) the Error code above relates to the logic board
    c) next step is take it back to Apple or the authorized reseller from where it was purchased.
    Cheers
    Shaun

    4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2P--124
    When U install the SSD under the optical drive(OD), the air from the OD fan that was supposed to swing under the OD to exit on the uppper vent has no where to go and hence swings across and exits mostly through the vent on the other side near the camera whereon lies a Skin sensor, which blows away/damages tricking the iMac to believe that the CPU is hot and the CPU fan starts to run at full speed of 4000rpm and the Apple hardware shows error 4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2P--124.
    This skin sensor will then need to be replaced.
    The CPU Fan cannot be controlled by any software.
    The only options available are:
    1.Change the primary HDD with a SSD.This will result in the HDD fan running at a higher speed as the SSD does not have any moving parts.The HDD fan sensor gets to believe that the HDD is hot since it does not get inputs from the SSD.Once you change to SSD you can use software to control the HDD or the Optical fans.
    2.Change the Optical Disk drive with a "SSD in a Optical Drive(OD) Caddy".This will result in the optical drive fan running at a higher speed as the SSD does not have any moving parts.The OD fan sensor gets to believe that the OD is hot since it does not get inputs from the SSD.Once you change to SSD you can use software to control the HDD or the Optical fans.
    Do not use the OWC or other dual drive kit that advice U to put a next SSD under the OD, unless ur iMac is under warranty or u have plenty of technical skills & luck.

  • Brand new iMac 3.4GHz fan runs all the time - how do I stop it?

    Hi, just opened my shiny new imac but the fan runs all the time and very loud! Has anyone any ideas how to fix this or should I return the imac to apple?
    I've also noticed that none of my external drive icon show up on the desktop - nor does the imac hardrive icon appear - any ideas?
    Thank you in anticipaction.

    Try an SMC reset, you may need to do it at least 2x.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

    Hi,
    This sounds like it is about Window positions.
    iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
    Video is always top Center of your Screen
    Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
    Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
    Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
    This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
    You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
    Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
    If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
    Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

  • Satellite Pro L40 PSL43E I need to find all the XP drivers

    I need to find all the XP Drivers for this particular notebook. Any ideas where i can find them. on this site i only get the "how to downgrade" Pease Help ASAP

    If such drivers are available then you will be able to find such drivers on the Toshiba European driver page.
    If the drivers are not available on the Toshiba European driver page, then the drivers were not released.
    But Ive got one hint; I found some XP drivers for Sat L40 series. Some series supports the same devices and therefore the drivers should run too.
    Check some single XP drivers from different L40 series and maybe it would run.
