Is this a Flash Drive that came with my new PC?

hello, I'm really hoping someone can answer this quick question for me...
My mother has an Omni All-In-One 120 PC (win 7). Just got it 3 or 4 months ago. It came with what looks to be a flash drive already plugged into one of the left USB ports. What is this for? It doesn't appear as an external drive. If it is for wi-fi, can I remove it and still be connected as long as the PC is connected directly with an ethernet cable?
And, if it IS a wi-fi thingy (sorry for the technobabble), does that mean the PC does not have anything *internally* to connect to the net (like my Sleekbook does)?
Anyway, what IS this thing sticking out of the PC?
Thanks for the great products.

As has already been stated, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
The above requested information can be found on the side, back, or bottom of your computer.
Does the computer have a wireless mouse and keyboard... if it does, I would guess that it is the wireless transceiver for the mouse and keyboard.

  • Is it possible to purchase replacement Flash Card that came with the Cisco 1811 Router?

    I am in desperate need of a replacement Flash card that came included with the Cisco 1811 Router. I purchased the router used and it was working perfectly. I worked my way through all the information provided at cisco.com and had it pretty much configured the way I wanted it. Until the flash card got destroyed. A little embarassed to go into details how it was destroyed, let's just say my Grandson gave it a bath.
    It would be great if I could just purchase a replacement somehow with the IOS and SDM on it without purchasing a Cisco Service Agreement, etc. I purchased the router just to further my "Self Education". I have pretty much conquered all the aspects of the Cisco routers, etc. more or less developed for the Home Office user and moved on to bigger and better things. Since I was able to find a Cisco 1811 in good working condition very inexpensively I decided to go for it.
    Help from anyone would sure be appreciated.

  • Droid RAZR HD won't charge with either cable that came with the new phone.

    My RAZR HD will not charge using either of the USB charging cords that came with the phone and I have tried several different USB/wall type adapters.  I have to use a generic charger (not a USB cord, just a straight outlet to phone type).  The data cable that connects the phone to my laptop works so it doesn't seem like it is a connection problem.  Is anyone else having this trouble?

    Thank you for the reply.  After much trial and error I finally discovered
    that the USB/outlet adapter cannot be plugged into any type of outlet
    adapter (like converting two outlets to 4 or 6 in a wall outlet), extension
    cord, or power strip/bar to function.  It must be plugged directly into the
    wall socket (or computer) in order to charge.

  • HT1688 I am trying to find answers about how to use the earphones that came with my new iPhone 4s. Does this work similarly as a Bluetooth or do I need to still buy one. The printing in the manual is SOOO small, it is too hard to read!

    Does anyone know how to use the earphones( plugs) that come with iPhones?
    Mine is still fairly new and I am just learning how to use certain things.

    They're pretty straightforward. You plug them into the headset jack (the hole on the top left of your phone). You put the buds in your ears. All sounds, except for the phone ringing will now come through the earbuds.

  • I backed up my new iPod touch with data from my old one. This seems to have erased all the new apps that came with the new iPod. What do I do now?

    I got a new iPod Touch today. I wanted to transfer all my apps and data over to the new iPod from my old one, so I restored it from my old one. Unfortunately, it seems to have erased the new apps that come with the latest iPod. What do I do to get the back?

    Maybe I'm confusing apps with function. I was looking at the features on Apple's site, and it showed Voice Control, Air Print, Air Play, that sort of thing.

  • I have a late-2008 macbook that is running 10.5.8. I also have a newer macbook that came with snow leopard. Can I use the install disk that came with the newer macbook to update my older macbook?

    Also, when upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard, will I lose all the data that is currently on my hard drive?

    No, that SL disk is meant for the computer it came with only.
    Upgrading to SL generally will not cause data loss, but you should have a backup of your important files in any case.
    You can get a Snow Leopard disk by calling Apple - in the USA it's 800-MY-APPLE.
    Best of luck.

  • What was the free game that came with the new update?

    In the info it said that the new update came with a free game but I don't see it

    A recent update included changes to support the new game, Phase. However, you still have to purchase the game on the iTunes Store.

  • Hello, I am selling my macbook silver 2.4gHz, and would like to re install and wipe the hard drive. however, i insert the snow leopard dvd( that came with my new 15" 2.3gHz), follow the support steps but after one screen, it says it cant instal - restart?

    ^______________________________^^^____________________________________^
    What can i do.., btw im a bit of a newby for this stuff!

    The grey installation DVDs supplied with Macs are specific to the computer they are supplied with. They cannot be used to install on any other Mac.
    Either erase and install the OS on the old MB from it's own grey DVDs, or go and buy the retail Snow Leopard installation DVD ($29 in the US, £26 UK).

  • Why does Apple support print those "Hello" booklets that came with my new iMac in super small fonts?

    Yesterday I purchased the latest available 27inch iMac from my local Apple only dealer.     ( It sure beats my very first Mac which was an LC520. )
    The included in the box printed quick start guide named "Hello" was printed using a font size very close to zero.
    Who are these people at Apple support that can read such small fonts with using 20X powered magnifying lenses
    Are they somewhat...
    What a waste of mony Apple!

    I think it's a point worth making.  It is virtually unreadable.  
    On reflection, I'm wondering if there is an obligation in some countries to provide such information with a device.   This could be Apple's way of complying while spending the absolute minimum.

  • How can I disable the sync alert popup that came with the new Lion update?

    Lately a Sync Alert window has been popping up in the middle of the computer screen at odd and inconvenient times. The message is: "Syncing with Google Contacts will change more that 25% of your contacts or groups on this computer." Then there are buttons for "Show Details," "Sync Later" and "Sync Conacts." These alerts started popping up a few days ago. I have searched in the Google apps to which I subscribe as well as Preferences and Utilities for whatever initiates this alert but can't find anything. Anybody know how to put a stop to these alerts?

    Hi,
    I think that you may have tried signing in to photoshop.com which no longer exists.

  • I accidentally opted in to the automatic reporting to Mozilla that came with the new firefox. I want to opt out. How?

    Firefox automatically upgraded me to 7, which is fine, but when the page loaded there was a query at top - something like, "do you want to help mozilla by automatically reporting site load times etc."
    I clicked yes, I meant to click no.
    How do I opt out of this automatic reporting to Mozilla.

    I see how now - Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General.....Uncheck the box 'submit performance data'

  • My new earpods that came with my new iPod Touch 5 does not plug in?

    My NEW earpods do not plug in all the way! There is static when I plug it in! It won't let menplug it in all the way no matter how hard I pushed. When I plug it in (as far as it goes) all I hear is static! And then it stops. But sometimes it works but then the sound starts to go out from the speakers.

    Definitely sounds like a hardware problem, probably with the jack.  Set up an appontment at the the Genius bar of the Apple Store.
