Mohammed from KSA writes: Why is it called CD burning as against copying or pasting or saving?
That's a simple one, it's because you are literally burning a CD. CD and DVD burners/writers work by using a laser to burn the surface of the CD or DVD. Making certain portions of the surface darker creates a digital pattern. DVD and CD players read discs by running a laser over the surface and this pattern gives the player digital information that it can interpret as data, sound or video. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version
Where Does Data Go When a Hard Drive Dies? IT DISAPPEARS - FOREVER! Don't Have a Backup? Then You Won't Have Your Data Ever Again - It's THAT Simple! WorldStart's Got The Program To Make Backups EASY!
COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC BACKUPS! No Hassles, No Complicated Steps! Full Restores - Partial Restores - Whatever You Need! Compress, Repair, And Catalog Backups Automatically! You'll NEVER Worry About Crashes Again!
Those who keep backups... and those that will wish they had! Which one are you?
MILLIONS of people suffer hard drive crashes every year. Add on to that all the viruses and malware. Don't forget user error too, sometimes we delete stuff not realizing how important it was until it's too late! What do you keep on YOUR computer? Software? Music? Videos? Photos? You can't replace a family photo! Rebuying your music would require a second mortgage! All that software you learned and configured... it's even MORE expensive to replace! It's too much for ANYONE to handle losing forever! But look, I get it. Keeping backups is annoying. If you tried it before, by week 45 of pressing the button to backup your data AGAIN, you probably started going "Why bother?" THAT'S WHY THIS SOFTWARE IS SO MUCH BETTER! Easy & Painless Backups - Schedule It And FORGET IT! TurboBackup takes ALL the "work" outta keeping your system backed up! Scheduling your backups takes only a few minutes at MOST (depending on how much you wanna backup) and it lets you set them to constantly backup automatically! Look at the screenshot below - there's TONS of options to get the automatic backups that you NEED! And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
There may be a lot of backup solutions out there, but nothing comes close to how thorough and flexible this one is! Everything can be done with The Wizard! If you've used any of the default Windows programs, you're probably familiar with "wizards." They walk you through each step with simple selections and easy to understand language. It gives you full control without requiring a computer science degree! TurboBackup 9.1 gives you the best of both worlds: It's easy as pie for the average user, but it has a great amount of depth for those special backup needs! For instance, it allows you to backup to pretty much whatever media you want! Trust me, this is SO useful! The interface is just a simple selection one too! My kids are using this for their backups now! There's no tech jargon here, just simple point and click selections!
Most people will probably stick to the top three, but it never hurts to have options! And really, this selection is great! Backups are nice to have on an external hard drive, but stuff like family photos and music are so much nicer on a flash drive! That way you can move 'em around in addition to making sure they stay safe from crashes! Increment Your Backups! A lot of backup software out there, particularly the automatic ones, limit you to just ONE backup file that keeps getting overwritten every time you do it! Sure, in most cases that might not effect you much, but what if your automatic backups happened a few times after you deleted something important? Now you can't get it back - what's the POINT of the backup then?! TurboBackup lets you catalog your history of backups! So now if you accidentally delete something, THEN back up your computer... you didn't lose it! Don't fret! You can just go back to the incremental backup that took place BEFORE you deleted it and TA-DA! The file is back again! Talk about saving your hide! I could go on and on and on all day about why I love TurboBackup 9.1! Just look at this list of features and you'll see just how extensive it can be!
WOW - that's quite a list! Security Matters Too! If your backups aren't protected, your files are SO much easier to steal! An unsecured backup on a vulnerable computer is basically a gift-wrapped treasure chest of data for theives! TurboBackup lets you encrypt & password your backups so that ONLY you can get access to them! But don't be fooled - this is STILL the easiest software out there! Nobody has ever combined power and simplicity quite like this before! And I'm not the only one going crazy over TurboBackup 9.1! You don't get awards like this without being a pretty impressive piece of software, after all! Plus there's at least two dozen more awards from the over the years on top of this!
THAT'S a glowing recommendation! So now you're wondering... "Is this gonna cost me an arm and a leg?" NOPE! Not only can you keep your limbs, you can keep the money in your bank too - because this is practically pocket change! Only $9.97 and you get FREE shipping in the US! If you skip this one, orderlies might show up at your doorstep to bring you to a padded room! That is, if losing all your files hasn't already driven you nuts! http://store.worldstart.com/product/8946 A sale like this CANNOT last forever - you need to get on this before they sell out! If there ARE any left Tuesday, the price goes up to $16.97
Mohammed writes: How I can download a song or speech from YouTube while it is running on.
If you wish to download videos posted by someone else, you've got a problem. Legally you can't download a song or speech or any video from YouTube that you didn't post yourself. You may be able to contact the person or company that uploaded it and ask for a copy, but otherwise if you want to watch or share something from YouTube, bookmark it or save it in a playlist. Yes, there are ways of illegally downloading videos, but I'm not going to get into them. It's illegal and it's a form of stealing. Also, if I were to share these techniques with you, Google would be all over me with a cease and desist warning. The one exception is videos that you've uploaded yourself. In that case, log into your YouTube account and select the drop-down menu beside the little blue square to the right.
Under YouTube, choose Video Manager.
Choose the video you wish to download.
Select the drop-down arrow next to Edit and choose Download MP4.
You can only download a video five times a day and you can't download anymore than two videos in an hour. You won't see the download option if you've gone over these limits. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
Vicki from Decatur, Alabama writes: I love your site and I learn so much from it. I look forward to it every day. I have an iPhone 4 and I have lots of music on it. It downloads automatically when I do upgrades or back-ups on my computer. I have lots of music because my granddaughter likes music. I need to know how to get this music off my iPhone and keep it from downloading every time I plug into my computer with my phone. Can you help? Vicki, you need to disable auto-syncing in iTunes. Now don't plug your phone in yet. Let's open iTunes on your computer.
In the upper left-hand corner there's a little box that's half dark and half light. Select the arrow beside it.
From the drop-down menu that appears, choose Preferences. Want more? Just click WorldStart!
Ken from Kimberley B.C. writes: I bought a store built desk top recently loaded with a new copy of 7, and right from new, it doesn't want to stay in the sleep mode. I have gone through my power options and nothing seems to work. Even clicking on "sleep", it only shuts off for a few seconds, then comes back on. Help!
Answer: It's possible that a device or program running on your computer is waking it from slumber. Go to the Start Menu and select Control Panel.
From the Control Panel select Hardware and Sound. Head on over to WorldStart for more of this tip!
