How do I download Google Earth to my flash drive instead of my hard drive?
Instead of just dragging and dropping, when you drag and drop the file, hold SHIFT, because that way it will move the file.





- Regular drag and drop only creates shortcuts


- Holding SHIFT (while dragging and dropping) moves the file


- Holding Control will copy the file

How can I make a diffuser for my flash?

I have the Nikon SB-600 flash.. i have not been able to get a diffuser yet, any suggestions on how i can make one?

How can I make a diffuser for my flash?
Go to cloth shop and buy some white rip stop nylon. Cut it to size and tape it over your flash. This is the quick, inexpensive way that works great.
Reply:The bottom 2 or 3 inches of a translucent white alcohol bottle works great, just like a Stofen. Just cut the bottle and slip it on, you might need some tape. Don't forget to adjust your exposure, diffusion devices, whether home made or not, eat up flash power.
Reply:Somebody told me the bottom of a Tums bottle works very well.
Reply:Take a clean plastic quart sized deli container. Put the lid on it and cut an "X" in the lid. Then remove as much of the bottom as you can. Place it upside down on your flash (the "x' should let it slip on. and point your flash up towards the ceiling. Just like Gary Fongs Globe, but MUCH cheaper!
Reply:Alternatively, tape a piece of tracing (or even greaseproof) paper over it.
Reply:Tape and a tissue...it doesn't last very long like maybe 2 weeks of constant use but it still works
Reply:Here are videos on how to make bounce cards.

Looking for a digital camera with a red eye flash that is automatic or right on the camera base?

Hi! I'm looking for a new digital camera. The one I have now is a 5 MP HP and it takes beautiful pictures outside. However when indoors the flash can be problematic. Everyone's eyes are closed- unless I go into the camera menu every time I turn it on and put on the red eye flash (double flash). It's very annoying!





Does anybody know of a good digital camera that has the red eye flash button or switch on the base of the camera- so you don't have to fumble with the menu?





Thank you!

Looking for a digital camera with a red eye flash that is automatic or right on the camera base?
Most, if not all, of the Canon SD series cameras have a flash button conveniently where your thumb would be when taking pictures. You can switch the flash modes by just pushing the button. My Canon SD450 has 5 flash modes (Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye Reduction, Night-Syncro) and it's fairly easy to switch it on the fly. No menu to scroll through...just push the button until you get to the flash mode you want and snap away.

Reply:canon makes several that are easy to use and vey slim. they are also reasonably priced. nikon also makes several goos ones but sometimes the processors can be slow so be careful which one you pick. cameta cameras sells on ebay, they have great packages with extra bateries, memory sticks etc. good luck.
Reply:u can take the sony cybershot t50 or t100
Reply:I would like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:





1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;


2. Has a 3x optical zoom;


3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;


4. It's very small and light;


5. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free;


6. And the price is a mere $120 [sold at Samy's Camera, Staples.com.]

Reply:1. Take the picture where there is bright ambient light so your pupil is constricted. This will protect your retina and make the iris look better.


2. Use you camera's macro mode, but zoomed out.


3. Look straight ahead and keep your eye still.


4. I personally used the flash. It came out cool because I can see a reflection of my camera on my pupil. You will probably have to use a higher ISO if you refuse to use a flash.
Reply:Yeah, I agree you'd probably blind yourself and damage your eye if you flash it that close.





Back out a distance and take the picture, then crop the eye in photoshop.
Reply:Don't use the flash. Using it that close to your eye could cause actual, permanent damage. I bet if you read the Manual for your camera it will warn you about not firing the flash up close into the eyes.

What do I need to get started with Flash animation?

I want to teach myself flash animation, but I have no idea where to begin. What software do I need, what do I need to know (or know how to do)? Can anyone help me?

What do I need to get started with Flash animation?
Flash animations are made with Adobe Flash. And information for purchasing can be found on Adobe's website. If you are a student, you can purchase educational version of the software. I think it's around $700 for the business price or $250 for the educational.

How do I make multiple buttons for a flash soundboard?

I'm trying to make a soundboard in flash. I found a number of tutorials online, but they all show you how to make your first button and then say "repeat the process."





The first time I tried making all buttons part of the same layer. The only one that worked was the first one. I also tried putting each button on its own layer, but that didn't work either.





Anyone had a similar problem?

How do I make multiple buttons for a flash soundboard?
ok i am currently doing a course i flash and know exactly what you are talking about!





you need to create each button as a separate 'button', you need to have the drawing of a button then convert it to a 'button'. this can all be done on the same layer in the same frame. once it is converted into a 'button' you can assign the sound.





send me an email if you need any more explaining!!

What do people use to draw in Macromedia Flash?

I try using the mouse, but it is sloppy and inaccurate. What can I use that is better than a mouse to draw with when using Flash?

What do people use to draw in Macromedia Flash?
Trying using a Wacom or Intuos Tablet. It's basically a tablet and pen device that allows you to plug it in and draw straight onto computer programs. Look on Amazon for some great deals or check out this website for some additional information: http://www.wacom.com/index2.cfm?gclid=CK... I have a 4 inch by 5 inch tablet and it works wonders. Hopefully this is what you're looking for.
Reply:For freehand drawing on the computer, nothing beats a graphics tablet, like a Wacom or other brand. Even the smallest, most basic model beats drawing with a brick, which is what trying to draw with a mouse feels like.





Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, Painter. It doesn't matter, they all support graphics tablets.


What is the best way to start learning flash?

I know a lot of html but I want to go into a more advance web style design so flash hit me as the only option. I'm wondering if there are any tutorials and the best programs to use to be able to create wonderful websites.

What is the best way to start learning flash?
First off, Flash is not "a more advanced web style design". It's something else that just happens to run while embedded in a web page, much like a Java applet or a media player plug-in. But it also has other, more appropriate uses.





Second, try visiting the FlashKit website and ActionScript.org for tutorials and potential applications.





Third, the best programme for creating Flash is Adobe Flash. Although others can export to SWF, like OpenOffice Impress, but I won't bet on getting much ActionScript support form them.





Fourth, Flash has very little to do with creating wonderful websites. But if you want to create wonderful Flash applications to enhance your website, then knowing XML is essential.
Reply:i would suggest to take a class
Reply:There's a lot of free online courses that can help you, just google for them. If you're more interested in a visual (and sometimes "for dummies") course, you can try the ones from TotalTraining ( http://www.totaltraining.com ). They're a little costly, but are a good option to learn Flash without leaving your house. The ones from http://www.lynda.com are also a good option.


Turn off flash on old polaroid camera?

I have this old polaroid camera that I got from my older sister. It's been used already but it works great, however I can't turn the flash off and it's difficult when I want something with detail - flash usually blurs it out. I know you can turn the flash off because it says to turn flash off check booklet. But of course, I don't have the booklet! Does anyone know how to do it?





It's a "Polaroid Construction Job Pro" or otherwise known as a construction camera. Thanks so much.

Turn off flash on old polaroid camera?
If you don't find the "off" button, black electrical tape ought to kill any light from the flash.
Reply:On the Polaroids I've had with a built-in flash, there was always a smaller, recessed shutter button surrounding the main shutter button.





Pressing in this smaller button would fire the camera without the flash.

How to be virus free using a flash drive?

Can a virus be loaded into the computer by just plugging in an infected flash drive without uploading any of the files in it?

How to be virus free using a flash drive?
depending on the virus - it can spread to flash drives/floppies/hard drives without you doing anything
Reply:i use a flash drive and never had a problem i just scan it with the rest of my system.
Reply:A virus can be loaded into the computer by just plugging an infected flash drive because the computer automatically reads the drive even without prompting the user. This is how the computer knows that a flash drive has been attached and how the files could be opened (a window usually opens asking the user how he wishes to proceed). It is always best to have an anti-virus software scan the flash drive before proceeding.
Reply:no u can format the drive to wipe it clean or quarentine a file that you require just dont copy files to pc
Reply:yes,some viruses affecting on autorun.inf file , it will load to system without opening the flash drives
Reply:if someone loaded a file that executes on activation of the flash drive.
Reply:Yes a virus can infect a flash drive without copying any files, just by plugging it in.





To make sure your system doesn't get infected make sure you have up-to-date anti-virus software. Some anti-virus vendors offer special software that you can install on your flash drive that when ran, will scan the driver for viruses.


How much waste is added to landfills each year because of the overpackaging of flash drives?

Hey.. I really need some help. I have to do a project on overpackaging and I choose flash drives. They have a lot of excess packaging and I was wondering if anyone knows a site of someone I can contact that would possibily give me details on how much trash is being added to landfills because of this. Also if anyone wants to throw some numbers out, I guess that would be fine too.

How much waste is added to landfills each year because of the overpackaging of flash drives?

How Do I Avoid Reflection On Satin When Shooting With Flash?

I'm trying to shoot some satin clothing items but am struggling. I'm using a flash gun as there's not enough natural/non-flash light available to work with. I'm either ending up with a very underexposed images or an image with lots of reflection/burn out on the satin (or both!). Any help appreciated.

How Do I Avoid Reflection On Satin When Shooting With Flash?
Bounce from, or shoot through some sort of light modifier like a softbox, an umbrella, or reflector to soften or difuse the light.
Reply:Satin is hard even for a pro, colours and refections everywhere. Use a polarizing filter will help if your lighting is set up correctly. Short of a big softbox bounce the flash unit off the ceiling or white mat cardboard as others have said. if you shot the image in RAW mood you can also create 3 images from the file one over one under and one at correct exposure, you could also do this by bracketing the exposure with jpegs. then blend the three using layers in any photo editing program to bring out the shadow and highlight details.
Reply:The 2 best solutions are:


1. Bounce the flash of the ceiling or a white surface, so that the flash doesn't hit the subject directly.


2. Use a diffuser to cover the lens of the flash. If you don't have one, you could use a single layer of handkerchief held over the flash lens.
Reply:Why not use a lightbulb or fluorescent light or something and set your WB accordingly?.. You can always adjust the exposure compensation in your camera... Or like someone suggested use a polarizer...
Reply:What kind of camera and flash are you using? Are you using the flash on your camera? If you have an external flash then you can bounce it off the ceiling. This should help a lot!
Reply:Three methods


One, spray it with dulling spray


Two angle the material or light source


Three fix it in the printing stage
Reply:How about either a bounce flash or a soft box?
Reply:easy way would be to use a Polaroid filter, this shall remove a big part of the reflexion

Where do the batteries go for the flash of a Polaroid One Step camera?

We found one at a resale shop and can't figure out where the batteries go for the flash. Does it even need batteries?

Where do the batteries go for the flash of a Polaroid One Step camera?
There were a few cameras that had a battery built into the film pack. You buy the film pack (something like 10 instant, auto-developing photos) and since it comes with its own battery, you never have the problem of the batteries going dead on you. Well, that was the idea anyway.





Look in the film compartment for two springy metal tabs that would make contact with the battery in the film pack.





the battery is required not only for the flash but also for the motor that feeds the picture out after you snap it and if the camera is auto-focus, runs that as well.
Reply:If flash not working with new film pack, check on two things.





1) Does your camera have a disable switch for the flash, some do, and they are usually small.





2) Make sure you do not have out of date film. An old film cartridge can have a bad internal battery.





If neither of these things are true, then try loading a different pack of film. Also- try taking a picture in a dimly lit room to make sure the flash is not being turned off by the camera because it is not needed.
Reply:No, the flash does not need separate batteries. The film cartridge has its own battery pack in it that powers up the camera and the flash.
Reply:you dont need batteries for the flash you will get your flash when you put in the film and take the picture. it is built in to the disk thing you insert in the camera. no batteries need for a polaroid. you get the power from the film packet also.


Is it safe to disconnect a USB flash memory without stopping it first?

An icon in the taskbar reminds us to safely remove hardware(USB flash memory). Is it absolutely necessary?

Is it safe to disconnect a USB flash memory without stopping it first?
It's advisable to do the safely remove thing first.





That way, any communication between the pc %26amp; the device is stopped. If you were to pull the device out while a file was being accessed, for example, you could corrupt the file itself.





Personally, I'm forever pulling them out without stopping them first %26amp; have never had any problems doing it, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'll probably become unstuck one day, I should take my own advice!





Hope it helps.
Reply:I actually destroyed one by removing it without stopping it, but it was a few years ago. Form what I understand the new ones are equipped to handle it. But just in case it never hurts to click the "safely remove hardware" icon.
Reply:It's safe if the USB flash memory supports hot sync. Nowadays, most do.
Reply:I have been using memory sticks for a number of years, now. I have found that if I don't turn them off before I remove them, I frequently have to re-start my computer to activate them again. My computer won't recognize them otherwise.

How do I use a hot shoe flash?

I have a Canon Digital XTi and just recently bought a flash for the hot shoe. I am able to rotate it up and down, 45* 60*75* and 90*. I can not turn it side to side.


It also has EV Adjust on it. And I can adjust that anywhere from -1.5 thru +1.5. I am not sure what that means. Any helpful suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance.

How do I use a hot shoe flash?
You won't be able to rotate the flash from side to side without mounting it on an auxiliary flash attachment. The EV Adjust allows you to adjust the amount of light the flash creates each time it pops. If you adjust it into the negative it will throw less light. Conversely, adjusting into the positive will throw more light.





If you are using it primarily as fill flash to reduce harsh shadows you will usually achieve the best results by setting it for -1 to -1.5. There is lots of great information on the web about how to effectively use your flash in different situations. Mine is used primarily for fill flash in adventure and nature photos.





Also, you should know that unless you filter or diffuse the light emitted from the flash it will be rather harsh and noticeable. I use a small, portable softbox that attaches to the flash via velcro to create a softer, diffused light that appears much more natural. Another option is to bounce the flash off a wall or a reflector.

How does your eye sustain a picture, after your eyes adjust in a dark room, from a flash from say a camera?

Go into a dark room and let your eyes adjust. This room MUST be completely dark, no light whatsoever, get under a thick blanket if at all possible. Bring a camera with a flash and charge the flash. Now take a picture with the flash facing upwards while everyone is in a close circle and whatever the flash lights up will remain in your head as a still frame for a good 2-10 seconds. Even if the person runs behind you it will seem as if they are still where they were when the picture was taken. I have asked this before and no one has given me a ligitimate answer. PS. This is really fun to do with friends. I think I am one of the first ppl to notice this...if not the first because I tried looking it up with NO luck. Dont ask how i found this out. I guess its kind of like when the flash stays in your field of vision after a picture except the whole image that was lit stays, for a while too!

in the dark the rods takeover and they r more for scotopic vision,,,and the stimulation they get is less lower potential of light ,,so when u r dark adapted with a sudden glow of light the cones r suddenly stimulated and then the rods take over again in the dark u will face ,,,so its like a sustained stimulation of two overlapping events confusing the optical center

wat will happen to u after that only God knows.....
Reply:I have had the same experience while at a party, it was dark and while the people were dancing someone took a picture and everyone seemed to stop and that image stayed in my hand for a good 1-5 seconds. It has to do with your retina, in the dark your pupil expands and in the light it contracts. Since your pupil has expanded because of the darkness the sudden flash of light


fools the pupil into contracting and thus the image from the flash stays in your eye.

your brain will still "see" it after its gone. you can do the same thing by staring at something for 30 seconds or so then look at a blank wall. it will show up negative


How do I get rid of sent files from hackers transfered into my flash disk?

When I was on my computer working on a project.I kept my flash disk plugged in. There was a weird picture showing up on the screen. It was a hacker. When I saw my flash disk blinking, I immediately pulled it out. Now when I opened my files in my flash disk I find pics that weren't even downloaded there by me. I don't know how to get rid of them without damaging anything. Can anyone help?

How do I get rid of sent files from hackers transfered into my flash disk?
Just delete them, it will not damage the flash drive. Don't dip it in water or click the link above (it's a link to an ad-site). The only real risk you ran of damaging any of your data was pulling out the flash drive before properly dismounting it.





Also... real hackers don't do stuff like that (reminds me of Hollywood) and it would have been too late before you noticed them, if you noticed at all. Just a tidbit of info... ;)

How to copy all the entire flash memory files to my PC once inserted ?

How to copy all the entire flash memory files to my PC once inserted ?
What is wrong with "xcopy"?





start / programs / accessories / command prompt





md c:\flash





flashdrive letter


xcopy d:\*.* c:\flash\*.* /s





This will copy all files and any sub-dir on the flashdrive to your defined drive.
Reply:If you are talking about getting the files off of a flash drive or other memory card, then you could make an image of it using programs like Alcohol 120% or WinRAR. These programs will make an image that can later extract the files without making a bajillion files on your computer.

or go to organizer and then light and turn it on there

How do I black out a flash website while an internal movie is playing?

I want it so they can see the site under an opaque background (with movie playing in the center) but the site doesn't work until the movie has finished playing... The movie is from within Flash, I 'm using actionscript 2.0.


Any help would be great!

How do I black out a flash website while an internal movie is playing?
Place the video player in a movieClip (in the top layer of your main timeline). Inside the movieClip (and under the movie's layer), make a large black rectangle the entire size of your stage, and convert it to a movieClip and place the following code in frame 1 (after naming your clip "myMC"):





//This code makes your movieClip receive button events and will effectively disable everything below it





myMC.onRelease = function (){


}





//This disables the hand cursor


myMC.useHandCursor = false;





Click on "login" at this website. They do something similar.

They also did it here:

Unless your website is completely black, you're probably going to have to go full-screen. I have a few tips on this here:

What kind of project is the best for learning Flash?

Flash comes with some tutorials. That would likely be the best way to brush up on Flash.





Open up flash, and under the "help" drop down menu select "getting started with flash" - there are two tutorials there.

Does anyone know how the flash passes work at 6 Flags Georgia in terms of how many use one pass?

I understand that the flash pass is meant to keep you from standing in the longer lines. What confuses me is whether or not 1 flash pass is good for 4 riders (their website says it is good for up to 6 riders), or if you need 1 flash pass for each rider. Does anyone know?

Does anyone know how the flash passes work at 6 Flags Georgia in terms of how many use one pass?
You rent out a portable pager device; you'll pay for the number of people "assigned" to that pager when you pick one up. When you reserve a ride--because of how many people you chose to reserve on the pager--the number of people associated with that pager will have a "spot in line" reserved automatically. You can have up to 6 people per pager, which means you can have one person on it, or 6 at the most.


How do you feel about using Flash to create modern, animated adaptations of Shakespeare?

The language of Shakespeare is basically the same, but the setting has been modernized. Check out this Flash animated, modern adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing


http://www.stratfordfestival.ca/muchado


Tell me if you would find this type of animation fun, useful, enjoyable, helpful, etc., for studying, or just enjoying, Shakespeare.





I'd also like to know if you just plain hate it too, and if you do what would improve it.

How do you feel about using Flash to create modern, animated adaptations of Shakespeare?
I think anything that can bring Shakespeare's works to new audiences is terrific...and in this internet age, a Flash adaptation is a great way to do that.
Reply:They should add subtitles to the old text in connotative context.





Shakespeare was a hilarious writer.
Reply:I hate flash.
Reply:I loved it. Haven't you thought about making other adaptations? As a drama teacher I think it is a wonderful tool for teaching Shakespeare to children
Reply:Okay, I looked at the first few scenes of the animation. Here are my reactions:





1) I understand what they're trying to do. They're reaching out to an audience that finds Shakespearean text difficult at best, and irrelevant at worst.





2) I absolutely disagree with their essential premise, which seems to be that, because the story deals with Dukes and Princes, modern audiences (young ones in particular) couldn't POSSIBLY be interested in it. Don't people still read tales of King Arthur? Didn't we all flock to see the films of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings"? It's not ROYALTY that's the distancing factor here.





If anything, I think the prologue to the animated "Much Ado" points out the fact that, for most students, the initial CLASSROOM exposure to Shakespeare's works is woefully inadequate. Teachers who don't "get it" themselves try to teach the stuff to students who need a proper grounding and context in order to appreciate it themselves.





You know how I know this? Because my OWN first exposure to Shakespeare was bloody awful! Some teacher told our class to read "King Lear" and "Henry IV, part one," with no preparation or introduction. I don't think I've ever had a more unpleasant educational experience. It made me feel STUPID, frankly.





Fortunately, the next teacher I had who approached Shakespeare was one of those rare enlightened souls who knew the material, loved the material, and knew how to share his enthusiasm with his students. That guy changed my life.


Can you buy a digital camera with an instant flash?

I have been looking to buy a digital camera, but I would like to try and find one that has an instant flash. All the cameras I have found have a delayed flash, and I am curious to know if there is one out there that doesn't do this. Can anyone give me any info on this?

Can you buy a digital camera with an instant flash?
Most point and shoot cameras have a delay between when you press the shutter and the photo actually being recorded. This is because it self focuses, ans self meters for light etc.





Buying a Digital SLR camera can give you back full control. Even using an accessory flash, if I pre-focus and manually meter for light, I get such fast response that I am able to photograph a drop of water in mid air. That should be fast enough for you.





The camera was a Nikon D50

Can i get some oppinions/suggestions about purchasing zoom lens and a flash for my Canon Rebel XT?

I'm planning to buy a decent zoom lens and flash for my Canon Rebel XT soon but i don't know where to start and what to look for. Obviously I'm still an amateur, so help would be appreciated. I'm looking for lenses probably not over 500$ as well. Thank you.

Can i get some oppinions/suggestions about purchasing zoom lens and a flash for my Canon Rebel XT?
What lens do you have now?





What kinds of things do like to shoot?





Stick with a Canon dedicated flash unit.
Reply:A better flash is an excellent idea. Canon makes several good ones and you will find them on the Canon website (www.usacanon.com). My suggestion here is buy a Canon manufactured flash, and by the best unit you can afford. The good Canon flash units will basically last until you break them and if you decide to upgrade your Canon equipment, will work fine on your upgraded Canon.


Buying a new lens is a different matter altogether. The lens that came with your camera is an excellent general purpose picture taking lens which gives you a range of slight wide-angle pictures to slight telephoto pictures, which should cover the majority of your picture taking situations to start with. As you grow into your camera system and find out where your picture taking interests lie, you will find situations that you want to photograph that are difficult when using the lens that came with your camera. This is the time to think about buying additional lenses, not now just to get a second lens. As your photographic interests develop you will add specific lenses to two pictures within your specific interest areas. At that time you're ready to buy a new lens or lenses and you will know what you need to fulfill your picture taking interests. I suggest you wait until these interests develop and then get the right lens for you.
Reply:The external flash will make a big difference in your indoor shots. Get the Canon model that suits your budget.





As for lenses, you'll need to decide whether to go wider (10-22) or narrower (70-300).





Hope this helps.

How do you replace the broken show of a Canon Speedlite 430EX flash?
If you read the Owner's Manual for your flash, somewhere in it there will be a lightning bolt icon next to the word WARNING! followed by "Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. Severe shock may result! Service should be done by a trained technician." Or words to that effect.





Inside the flash is a little thing called a capacitor. It stores a charge that results in the flash. Since this charge is several thousand volts, accidentally discharging it can shock you and burn you.





Send your flash off for professional service.
Reply:Replacing it will require unsoldering and soldering wires inside the flash unit. If you're not capable of that it's better to either let a camera repair center do it or buy a new flash unit.

Where can i buy communication flash cards for a toddler?

Where can i buy communication flash cards for a toddler?
Go Through Magazines and cut out pictures, or take pictures of your son doing those things. Paste them on 3"x5" cards, and put magnets on the back for the fridge, esp. for foods. At our local Headstart, we make books showing a child doing the 'right things' - sharing, helping, being nice with the books and toys, raising his hand- a little off the subject, but the children love to look at pictures of themselves.


This can be a fun activity to do together. "Help me find a CAR" or "This dog looks like Fluffy" You get the idea.


I also Love http://first-school.ws/. They have all sorts of printables and downloads. For as little a $8, you can access daycareresource.com, which has all sorts of activities for young children. Of Course, there's always E-bay for flashcards and games. Good Luck and God Bless.

How do i get my Flash memory to work?

My Flash memory stick has stopped being recognized by my PC. Whern I activate the removable storage display in the Computer Management Console, it shows a red circle with a white cross next to the device. I can't delete the device because it says "Only 'Not present' libraries can be deleted" How can reset the PC to recognize the device?

How do i get my Flash memory to work?
Have you tried removing it and re-inserting it in another USB post?





If you have or that isn't an option, shut down the computer, remove the stick, re-start, and if there's any software for the stick, then re-install it, and try again!





If there's no software, then hopefully it'll work after a system re-start!





Good luck!
Reply:What operating system are u using. (am assuming its Windows XP). Go to device manager (Right click on My Computer-%26gt;Properties-%26gt;Hardware-%26gt;Device Manager) and see if you can remove the flash memory device from there. It should be listed in the removable memory section. Reboot the PC and see if this helps.

How do I transfer my entire hard drive contents to a flash drive?

How can I transfer the contents of my PC hard drive to a flash drive, or to an external hard drive, and can I transfer all but certain entries. I want to do this without tediously transfrerring one entry at a time.

How do I transfer my entire hard drive contents to a flash drive?
If you use Windows Explorer, or the windows interface, you can do the following steps. I hope it won't be confusing:





First you'll want to open up the contents of your drive, which I'm guessing is the 'C Drive', if not, open up the appropriate drive name.





Step 1: Open My Computer and click on the drive that contains the files you wish to move. Highlight everything in this box my click on an open area inside the window and dragging a box around all the contents.





Step 2: Open up another My Computer window but then select the external drive, (as a user said before, a flash drive will probably be too small, and is less reliable as it uses static technology).





Step 3: Hopefully the windows are small enough that you can simply drag the highlighted items by click and holding down the click over the highlighted items and releasing the key as the mouse hovers over the external drives My Computer window. If not, it only takes a second or two to make the windows small enough to do this.





Step 4: Wait for windows to copy the data, (it gives a guesstimation), and once the copying is done, voila! The contents are now on the external harddrive!





Note: This process is known as the 'Drag and Drop method' and is used to COPY data in Windows.





Hope this helped :]
Reply:it is better to transfer the files to an external hard drive since flash drives have smaller space compared to your hard drive. just select the files you want to transfer then copy / cut - paste it to your external hard drive. just remember that program files especially shortcuts and executables may not work well since you changed their address. so it is advisable that you transfer user made files only like .doc, .ppt etc and just uninstall-reinstall the programs on another hard drive.





to transfer files, you can simply ctrl+a to select them all, highlight all of them or pick the files while holding on ctrl button. then just ctrl+c (copy) or ctrl+x (cut) them then go to your external hd, and press ctrl + v (paste)

How do I transfer my entire hard drive contents to a flash drive?





Miray Software HD Cloner is a non brainer. Amazing program i even can boot from the USB (if the cloned HD was bootable)
Reply:This will primarily be an issue of size. Most flash devices are not large enough to hold the contents of your drive. Most of your user data is in:





Windows: %USERPROFILE%\"My Documents"


OS X and *nix are in "~", OS X clearly indicates which folder is your home directory (hard to miss).





The sum total of your profile directory will be a smaller footprint than the entire drive.





You need to compress your home directory or use a backup program (ntbackup on windows to a a BKF file), or you could enable (if on windows) NTFS/filesystem compression on your target device. Any way this is done, about half the size of your home directory will be at a minimum what is needed on the flash device.





Once you are sure your home directory will fit, then use a utility like WinZip/7-Zip, or WinRAR, NTBackup or use compression and copy the files there.





The main problem with this is there is likely more data that you need than just what is in your homedirectory, possibly MP3s, videos and other assorted data files.





For Windows XP, here is a decent Microsoft article on how to use Backup on Windows XP

Good luck, and remember to backup and copy, don't move.
Reply:Drag and drop - you can drag files and folders as you see fit. Use Windows Explorer - it is a lot easier.


What is a good torrent client that will work good on my flash drive?

I have tried installing uTorrent on my flash drive but if I start a download and then have to pull out my flash drive to switch computers in the middle of the download it dissapears.





I want one that I can set up to download to a folder on my flash drive and be able to unplug my flash drive and switch computers in the middle of a downlad and be able to finish it on the second computer.

What is a good torrent client that will work good on my flash drive?
Remember that when you install utorrent in order for it to work it has to use the OS of computer A, if you switch to computer B then it "sees" it as a new system (it actually is) even if it is same Windows. Your USB has no OS in it to process the instructions.

How can you make a camera's flash dimmer?

I have a camera that has a flash that flushed the picture. And, when the flash isn't off, then the camera is flushed by the darkness. Is there a way to solve this problem without having to purchase a new digital camera?

How can you make a camera's flash dimmer?
You can diffuse it with a piece of tissue or white panty hose taped over the flash. I've even seen a Snoot diffuser made for digital cameras, but only the SLR's. Good luck.
Reply:There are a few ways to deal with this problem. Does your flash head tilt? If so, you can bounce it off a ceiling or wall, and have diffused flash as a bonus.





If it doesn't bounce, there are still a few things you can try. Find your flash's "sweet spot", or zone where the flash gives you a perfect exposure. It depends on the power of the flash, but going a few feet out can make a huge difference!





If your lens zooms, you can try that to reduce the light a little. Telephotos allow less light in than a standard or wide-angle lens.





You can adjust your camera to allow less light in, by stopping down your lens a stop or two, orsetting your exposure compensation on the minus side. Don't change your shutter speed, though, because it is set to sync with your flash at a certain speed.





You can filter the light with a white hankie or tissue, held over your flash.

What is the best way to learn to build a flash website?

Aside from going to college obviously, can anyone recommend any websites or books that are good at teaching someone to build flash?





Also, I have Adobe After Effects CS2. Can I use that to make flash or do I need a specific program like Swish Max?





Lastly, if you know how to build flash, what program (s) do you use?





Thanks!

What is the best way to learn to build a flash website?
There are a lot of great tutorials, free samples, and audio files on that site. Flash can import most files types, I think if you made a clip from effects it should be able to be imported into Flash without a problem.





I use FlashMX2004 - Adobe Photoshop CS2 - Adobe Premiere

Reply:Hi,





the best way to learn flash is through a good book, Internet still a very good option, but with a book the topics are more related and don't lack consistency.





this is a good book (Foundation Flash CS3 for Designers, by Tom Green and David Stiller)





good luck
Reply:I believe Adobe has tutorials on their site. I remember getting an email with a link, after I downloaded the CS3 trial, but I apparantly have deleted it. Visit adobe's site and you should be able to find the information.





Another tutorial source is http://www.w3schools.com/flash/default.a... I've been using this site to get back up to speed on HTML/XHTML and other web tools. It is a pretty good site with tons of examples. Try it out.

Do flash hiders in airsoft rifles really make any difference in the range or fps of the gun?

i am an airsoft player and i don't know if flash hiders are really useful in airsoft guns. i don't think they serve the same purpose that they do in real guns.





i have an airsoft rile (f2000) but i don't know whether to keep the long nose flash hider on or just keep it short (remove the barrel). aesthetically the long nose barrel makes the gun look like pinnochio, so i'd remove it if it did not contribute to the performance in any way.

Do flash hiders in airsoft rifles really make any difference in the range or fps of the gun?
Your right, unlike in the real steel rifles, airsoft flashhiders are primerally there to complete the look of the gun. If you do remove your flashhider, it shoud not effect your guns performence in any way.





On the real weapon though, the flashhider destributes the gasses coming out of the barrel of the gun in such a way, that the orange gas flash is really hard to notice. More modern flash suppressors are even desighen to keep recoil to a minimum by forcing the gasses to press down on the flashhider.


How can I overcome blinking when photos are taken with a flash?

I always seem to blink whenever someone uses a camera flash and my eyes always ends up closed in photos. Is there a way to overcome this so I can take photos with my eyes open?

How can I overcome blinking when photos are taken with a flash?
The flash is way quicker than your reflexes, so you are anticipating the flash and blinking just before the person takes the photo.





Tell them to change the timing of when they push the button to take the photo so you don't know when they are going to do it. For example they can count to 10 and take the photo at 4 one time and 7 another time and 12 another time, etc.





Also, have them take several photos, as close together as the flash recharging will allow. You are less likely to blink in all of them than you are in the first one.





The best solution is to have them take candid photos, following you around and taking tons of photos when you are busy doing something so you aren't paying attention to them.
Reply:remove the dread and anticipation, keep your eyes peeled even if it temporarily blinds you... I do that all the time... ^____^
Reply:Hm. this happens to everyone. Just try not to blink, pretend that you are playing a staring contest. I blink before the picture is taken so I don't blink when it is taken.
Reply:My suggestion is to close your eyes until they are ready to take the pic. Have them count to three before taking the picture. Close your eyes and when they say two, open them. It takes a min for your eyes to readjust to the light of opening your eyes and there fore when the flash goes off, your eyes will still be adjusting and you wont blink. Trust me it works!
Reply:this happens when you are very conscious. tell someone to take your pictures naturally .you need not pose. take pictures casually and come out of this habit.
Reply:expect the photographer don't use flash
Reply:Not really
Reply:I myself look right above the camera ... it also looks better ... like proffesional photography


Why am I not getting any sound from rear speakers in Flash apps?

Ok so why am I not getting any sounds on my rear speakers when trying to watch youtube videos or stuff like that? I only get it on my front speakers.


Note: The rear output works as I get sound from winamp, media player and stuff like that. Just no flash. Why?

Why am I not getting any sound from rear speakers in Flash apps?
I'd leave this to someone else to answer, as I don't know. But nobody has. Maybe this will jog someone to explain it better. I do know that there are different compression methods for computer audio. It could be that winamp and wmp can create simulated surround sound for the usual audio files (and embedded audio formats within video files), but flash uses a different kind of compression system. So the basic audio comes out your front speakers, but there isn't enough compatibility to simulate the surround sound for your rear speakers.





I'm guessing here, so if anyone with more understanding of flash files wants to enlighten me, as well as you, please jump in.

How do I copy files from one flash drive to another?

I have a 256 meg secure drive and I want to copy it (including its security features) to my new (not secure) 2 gig flash drive. Is this possible. Do I need additional software installed on my new flash drive?

How do I copy files from one flash drive to another?
http://www.usbflashdrive.org/usbfd_faq.h...
Reply:Just plug both of your thumb drives into your usb port and copy from one flash drive to another.
Reply:You may not be able to copy the security features. It's a copyrighted software that the manufacturer of the other 256 MB flash drive included with that drive. You need to read the manual on that drive to make sure that you can legally copy that to another flash drive.





And copying files from one flash drive to another is as simple as dragging and dropping files from the first drive to the other after you've plugged in both drives.


How much is a good price for a used SB28 flash ?

Is this a good flash to get for my nikon n80? (Yes I mean N80 NOT D80) I need something good for fill in flash when i travel. I want good equipment, however I also am price conscious. Eventually I will also get digital and would like it if it also worked on my digital camera (but its not required). Is this a good flash to buy? Any other suggestions?





Thanks for your help

How much is a good price for a used SB28 flash ?
Maybe $100 ...





Just be aware that the SB28 is not the SB28DX (which is coded for digital. As long as you're using it with a film camera, it's great.





I had a 28 with my last film camera - an N80. And I now have a 28DX with my D100.





Very reliable flash.





And here's a bonus. If and when you convert to Digital you can use it as a slave for your newer flash. I'm doing it now with an even older SB26.
Reply:Its a great flash attachment . You wont regret buying it
