New here to say hello- ask for advice cloning HDD on a T60

Hi, my name is Adam-I am new here. And yes...I am windsurfer. Hello !
I have T30 (just selling, T43 (damaged-just beeing fixed) and T60 (I love it !).
I bought T60 recently and I am just upgrading it step by step. Its 3 GB RAM and T2400 1.83GHz CPU.
I have just bought 32 GB SSD and 320GB WD Scorpio Black. I want to "copy" - clone ? Win XP Pro and all software on SSD and fit it into main HDD place and my Scorpio will be fitted with caddy to replace DVD. That is what I want to do. I also have 250GB external Toshiba. But...I have never done this before and I am not IT specialist, also not very experienced with laptops. But I want to do that by myself, mainly to learn and to save some money too. Perhaps I should "clone" my current HDD 100% (software and files) on both SSD and Scorpio and than delete files from SSD ? Or copy all files on external HDD, delete them from current HDD and clone this HDD on SSD ? I would strongly prefer not to install Win and everything from scratch...what should I do and how ?
Obviously I am looking for easiest, safe way to to that job. Is that better to fit SSD with caddy into ultrabay and clone current HDD and than remove HDD and fit SSD into HDD place or perhaps I should put SSD into external case and clone current HDD with use of USB ? Sorry for so long list of questions...cheers
moderator note: information added to subject line for clarification.

Thanks ! In the meantime I can share my observation about WD Scorpio Black 320 GB: It vibrates so horribly (and makes lot of noise) that I am taking it back to shop tomorrow. My T60 vibrates, my hands feel that strong vibration, I can feel my huge, heavy dining table vibrating and its noisy...not acceptable for me. This is business laptop-that is how I use it - and I do not accept that level of vibration and noise Really disappointed.
If they (IT shop) accept to take it back , I will probably try Seagate 320 GB or 500GB 5400rpm/8MB...see what happens. I know vibration and noise are very subjective and that is why I made a comparison (same T60, same caddy): my Toshiba 250GB (removed it from case) is much much quieter than Scorpio and makes no any vibration...

I am trying to load LR on my new macbook pro. It asks for the serial number. I enter the digits, but it says, quote, " This is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of Lightroom is also required."

If you still have the old computer and it is a MAC, the Lightroom 5 serial numbers are in a text file.

Hi Rosera,
This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
Regards,
Ankush

First post - Asking for advice

Hi all,
For work and personal reasons I have decided to try to learn Java. I don't have much experience with computer languages - just the BASIC I learnt at school 20 years ago and messing around with VBA in Excel.
To start with I'd just like to ask for advice so I hopefully start in the right way.
Firstly, I have downloaded an online book by Bruce Eckel called 'Thinking in Java'. Does anyone have an opinion on if this is a good source to learn from, and if not, a recommendation?
Also, is it best to get an IDE, or just use Notepad to start with?
Lastly, are there any conventions for where to put 3rd party packages and my own code? I'm thinking specifically of the code that comes with the Bruce Eckel book unless anyone puts me off learning from it.
Any other advice for someone starting out would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading, and I hope I won't be asking too many dumb questions as I go along.
Gary

In the hope that it will save typing out long paths,
I've created a new folder in the c drive (called
Java), with 2 folders inside that - one for 3rd party
libraries (if that's the right word),which I've
called lib (is that bad?) and one for my code (code).
I'm sure it will grow but I'm hoping that will be
enough for me to start learning.lib and code are fine... I use tools and projects respectively at home, but it really doesn't matter that much. What does matter - if you are interested in handling things somewhat fundamentally - is this. You are going to be building and running, setting classpaths, referring to that libs folder etc from command line scripts (batch files) or build scripts (like ant). That location will at some point change, so you want to make your scripts flexible and define that path in only one place. For the same reason, relying on the CLASSPATH environment variable is often discouraged.
At first you'll probably not be using scripts but just type the commands on the console, that's fine, just at some point you'll get tired of typing the same things over and over :-)
The packages that come with the Bruce Eckel book (which are all in a folder called COM) If I'm not mistaken, com would be the root package folder for Eckel's source, as in for example package com.bruceeckel.util. To keep it separated from other libraries which may also have com as first package part, I'm thinking that folder com should be e.g. here:
C:\Java\libs\ThinkingInJava\com
C:\Java\libs\ThinkingInJava\com\bruceckel\util\I hope I'm not confusing you now, but in the long run you will be glad if your libraries are organized properly. The meaning of packages and their relation to folders is explained in Eckel's book so it will become clear.
As for getting there, you seem to have the right attitude, good luck and have fun!

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??

You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

Tryng to set up Aple ID on wifes iph 6, she's forgotten her password. At iforgot I type in her gmail ID and ask for email but none comes ?

trying to set up Apple ID on wife's new iphone 6, she's forgotten her password. At "iforgot.apple.com" I type in her gmail ID and ask for email but none comes ?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

I'm trying to install new software and my keychain asks for my password I put it in says its not right, gives me hint, same password it is the one I always use, so what do I do now?

I am trying to install new software on my Imac and my keychain asks for my password, I type it in, it says it is wrong, I do it again, wrong, it gives me a hint, same one I have been using, wrong again, so I cannot get the new soft ware to download, how do I get my passwork on the keychain to work or how do I change it?

What model iMac and what version of the Mac OS is installed? "About this Mac" from the Apple menu is a good place to start.

HT5622 New Ipad setup has not asked for a password just an Apple ID says ID is already being used reset forgotten passsword. But hasn't asked for a password?

Setting up new Ipad and it asked for Apple ID but no password. Next screen says ID is being used. Reset password? Why? How do I go on with setup?

You do not have to enter an Apple ID in order to set up an iPad. You can do that after the device has been activated. Can you back out of the setting and remove the Apple ID then move forward and deal with it after the iPad is activated?
