AJ from GA writes: If your computer's USB ports are 2.0 and you have a multi-port external USB port that is 3.0 and you use the multi-port for transfers, will the speed be equivilent to the 3.0 ports? Thanks. Unfortunately, AJ, there is no way to turn a USB 2.0 port into a USB 3.0 port. On the plus side, however, USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible with USB 2.0. This means you can buy an add-in card for your desktop PC to upgrade to USB 3.0 and still plug in all of your USB 2.0 devices to those ports - including a hub. The USB 2.0 devices will still only work as fast as they would on a 2.0 port, but you won't need to worry about where to plug things or not having enough ports. You can rest assured that for many devices USB 3.0 does not offer significant improvements. The devices that will see major improvements with USB 3.0 will involve transferring files. If you've got keyboards, mice and printers then chances are you don't need USB 3.0 yet. ~Tim Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

A Quick Guide To Setting Up Time Machine Backup On Mac Backing up a Mac – probably one of the most important things you should do as a Mac owner and one of the most neglected. Don't worry, I'm not here to lecture – instead I'm going to show you a quick guide to getting started with using the Time Machine Backup feature that comes built into all Macs. Time Machine is the automatic back up program built in to the Mac operating system. Once switched on and linked to a hard drive, it will back up your Mac every couple of hours or so, as long as the hard drive is plugged in. The program will back up any changes that you make to your mac, too (for example, an extra file saved or something deleted). It will note the changes and make a backup, which means if you saved a file today and it's not there next week, you can track back and find it. …and although time machine would have backed up several hundred times by then, it will still have a back up of previous files right up until the day you started backing up. Setting Up Time Machine Before you get started you'll need a hard drive of some sort – ideally at least the same size as the hard drive already in your Mac. Portable or desktop doesn't make a difference, really – unless you spend a lot of time away from home and use a laptop, in which case I'd recommend a portable so that you can take it with you. Once you have a hard drive, plug it in and allow it to load. You should be able to see it in two places, either on your desktop or in the finder – on the left hand side under the devices menu. (The finder is the smiley icon in the dock, far left). Once you know it has loaded close the finder. Next, you want to click on the apple in the top left hand corner and go to system preferences. You will then see the Time Machine symbol in the preferences box. Click it and enter the options panel. You'll then be taken to the Time Machine settings panel and will want to flick the switch and select on. You will then a get pop-up asking which drive you are selecting for your backup. Select the drive that you have just plugged in, and press OK. Close the preferences and you are done! Common Questions: How do I know if the Time Machine has backed up? You will often see this symbol spinning in the bar at top, this shows you that it is backing up. If it hasn't backed up, you will get an exclamation mark in the middle. This is not an issue – just make sure your drive is plugged in and ready to back up at the next opportunity you have. What if my hard drive fills up with backed up stuff? Time machine will automatically go to the oldest backup that it has and delete from there. The likelihood is that it will be several months old or longer, which means you have either forgotten about it or you don't need it! At this point, it will also prompt you and ask you if you want it to delete the oldest files on record to free up space. What type of hard drive should I use for Time Machine? This is down to user preference really; as long as it is a reliable brand, it won't make too much difference. USB or Firewire hard drives will both do the same job. The only thing you need to make sure is that your hard drive is at least a similar size to the hard drive on your mac. If it's not, and you have a lot of files, it will fill up very quickly and you wont have much of a backup history on the Time Machine hard drive. ~Alex Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us?

Restore iPad Hardware Screen Rotation Sometimes a sequel turns out better (and answers more questions) that the first part of a series. Take this tip, for example. The other day I wrote a blurb on how to lock you iPad's screen rotation – I also complained that the original hardware method no longer existed. Well, I lied. With a simple trip to the settings panel of your iPad, you CAN restore the ability to lock your screen rotation with a flip of the side switch. Find out how here! (Want these tips in their entirety?

Welcome to Wilson Todd: America's Premier Vaudeville Photographer, a site dedicated to the vaudeville photography of Wilson Todd. I grew up watching old movies and musicals from the dawn of film, and through them developed a fascination with vaudeville performers and their acts. As soon as I saw this site my curiosity was instantly piqued. There are three sections you'll want to navigate to: Wilson Todd Bio, Vaudeville Circuit, and Photographs. For the first two you may want to enlarge your view size as the font is ridiculously tiny. (I went up to 150% so that I didn't strain my eyes reading the page. It is completely worth it). Wilson Todd Bio – Here you'll learn all about the man behind the camera who took amazing photographs, how he got started as a photographer and what camera he used to take the photographs. Vaudeville Circuit – Here you'll learn about the vaudeville circuit and what it offered in its hay-day; then in the post script you'll learn about its legacy when its popularity had faded. Photographs – You can switch the size of your view back down to 100% for this section as it is all photographs. I clicked on the first image and then used the Next button at the top of the page to navigate through all the images. You could, however, click on just the images you want and use the back button on your browser or click Photographs to go back to the main listing to pick the next one you liked to view. The photos are amazing and capture the essence of not only Vaudeville but also of the roaring twenties! Print Quality is another section you might want to visit. It discusses the quality of the images produced by Wilson Todd, what they were printed on, and where the collection has been showed. Go check this amazing collection of images out today! ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com ***Lowest Price Ever Alert! *** Get It For Just $34.97 WOW - WOW - WOW - WOW AWESOME Happens When you LEAST Expect it...
