Feedback Helium works to a limited extent: backup to the cloud is the best way (@ $5), and only some of the apps retained their modifications. per ardua ad astra

Thank you both for offering your thoughts so quickly. strongm - I have been to that website and tried Helium, but maybe I should give it another shot. ..regards.. per ardua ad astra

Old phone is a Nexus 4. New phone is a LG G4. I used Google backup on my old phone thinking it would back up the apps including any data that goes with them (e.g., configurations for my Locus Pro maps; scores on games; text message history). Not so. All it does is record which apps I have...

thank you xit. the primary boot appears to be the 3.5 floppy drive. the drive may be bad, and then the whole issue becomes moot. your other idea of running XP sounds interesting. how do i accomplish this? per ardua ad astra

i posted this earlier as part of another thread, but was advised to repost in its own thread. i have an older desktop (IBM Personal Computer 300PL) with both 3.5" floppy and CD drives. there is no operating system. i have both Windows XP and 98SE available to install. when i boot initially, i...

cmeagan656 - tahnks for the speedy reply re reboot - i actually tried 2 different flashdrives (same size same manufacturer). with the first, i ignored the reboot instruction, despite being told that the hardware might not work properly if i did not. i have seen this caution before, but since...

i have a Dell latitude E6400, 64Gb SSD, O/S WinXP SP3. i want to back up the My Documents folder (~23Gb) to a 64Gb Lexar Jumpdrive. i inserted the stick into a port on my portable; it was discovered and i had to reboot to get it to operate correctly. i use the O/S backup program and get about...

CURRENT computer - Dell Latitude E6400, WindowsXP SP3 software - MSOutlookXP (2002), iTunes 9.2.1.5 iPod Touch - 30 Gb, ver 4.1 BACKGROUND I owned a PalmPilot for several years and it synched admirably with my previous laptop via serial port. I purchased a new laptop in Januray, but alas no...

you haven't given us much to work with. we really need the computer's operating system and service pack, which computer model, which pp and its o/s. that having been said, i ran into a similar problem. i acquired a new dell laptop with no serial ports. i did find an adapter that would allow...

i don't really care what they call my position, just as long as they pay me. i also don't care what they call me, as long as they don't call me late for dinner. when i do own up to being a technical writer, nobody knows what that means anyway, so i self-style my position as wordsmith doctor...

the following article at wikipedia gives a reasonably good appreciation of metric use in canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada part of our challenge is our proximity to the USA and their intransigence in switching. another part is the lack of leadership on the part of our...

kudos to vacunita: the ipod touch is exactly the correct answer. synchronizing to itunes, there is a functionality to synch to contacts and calendar from outlook. i can now also retire my trusty ipod, 'cos my music will also be on the 'touch'. thank you all for your willingness to help. per...

vacunita - it seems that if i go the "old technology" route i'll be seeking a used or refurb no matter whose i buy. however, i had forgotten that dell produced PDAs. thanks for the idea. r0gerc - so i might be able to get a card with a serial port? GENIUS! never crossed my mind! per ardua...

[for those responding to discussion please only reference products available IN CANADA. while you may have valuable information about this issue and have USA solutions, I must work within Canada. Please and thank you.] I have recently acquired a new portable computer that does not have a...

well... some of this 'tech talk' is a little to jargonny for me. max out upper write count? (do HDDs have this too?) SATA? IDE? CF-card? per ardua ad astra
