How to format an external drive in OS X

1. Connect the drive to the Mac.

2. Open Disk Utility. The easiest way to do that is hit CMD and the spacebar at the same time and type in "Disk Utility" to find the program.

3. Select the drive you want to format.

4. Click Erase.

If you don't plan on using the drive for Time Machine, skip steps 5 through 11 below and continue with step 12.

5. Give the drive a descriptive name and leave the default settings: OS X Extended format and GUID partition map. These will format the drive in OS X's HFS+ filetype so it will be compatible with Time Machine.

6. Click Erase and OS X will format the drive.

7. With the drive selected in Disk Utility, click Partition.

8. Enter the amount of space you want to set aside for Time Machine. In this example, we're shrinking the Time Machine partition to 128GB instead of allowing Time Machine to take up the whole drive.

13. Click Erase to finish.

Your exFAT-formatted drive or partition can now be used for both Windows and Mac. Note that using a drive frequently between Windows and Mac could increase the chances of file corruption, so make sure you have backups of the files on the shared drive and be extra careful about safely ejecting the drive before disconnecting it from your computer.

Here's how to format your hard drive in either OS

Want to use one external drive for both your Windows PC and your Mac machine? One hurdle you'll face is that, by default, these platforms use different filesystems. Windows uses NTFS while Mac OS uses HFS, and they're incompatible with each other. However, you can format the drive to work with both Windows and Mac by using the exFAT filesystem. Below are the steps to follow

In this guide, we're using exFAT instead of FAT32, another filesystem that both Windows and Mac can read and write to, because FAT32 has a maximum 4GB file size limit whereas exFAT can work with files as large as 16EB (exabytes). exFAT also performs better than FAT32.

Unfortunately, there’s no direct channel that allows you to carry out this switch automatically. You’ll have to manually export and import your Google data and you can easily do that with Google’s Takeout tool.

On the Google Takeout website, choose “Google Photos” and “Drive” and hit “Next” to download an archive of your data from them.

Visit the iCloud website on your computer and sign in to your account. Enter the “Photos” tab and click the cloud-like button at the top to import your downloaded pictures and videos.

For iCloud Drive, the steps are identical. Return to the iCloud homepage and head into “iCloud Drive.” Click the import option to upload all the files you’ve grabbed from your Google Drive storage.[/quote]

Morning People, Sorry i have to use this already owned topic as I could not create a new topic on the forum due to the error "Please wait for a few minutes before submitting this post. Our server is overwhelmed".

Today, I want to share on How to Activate Windows 10's God Mode

A legendary folder hidden in Windows 10 gives you quick access to a ton of handy settings in one place. The so-called "God Mode" folder provides links to a range of administration tools and tweaks in Windows. It's been around for a while in older versions of Windows is still alive and well. Here's how to activate the omnipotent "God Mode" in Windows 10.

1. Right-click on the desktop and go to New > Folder to create a new folder.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vgmXMyZdWCoKvPUUWGNdWA-970-80.png

2. Name the folder: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (Complete with the period after GodMode and the curly brackets)
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/xv3jF9dvJ6hynZsMH2c7U8-970-80.png

Note that you can replace "GodMode" with any text you want, such as "JediMode" or "NinjaMode".

3. Open the GodMode folder to access over 260 commands, from administrative tools to backup tools to internet options and other important settings.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7pFmhMzTQuUjiFczNFcDnC-970-80.png

You can also drag and drop any of the commands from your GodMode folder to your desktop for quick access in the future.

Like Google Docs, Gmail provides users with the ability to access content offline. However, where Docs just lets you view files, Gmail allows you to edit emails without an active Internet connection when signed in through Google Chrome. Viewing and searching messages happens in real-time, while sent messages are stored and fired off when you reconnect to the web.

To activate the offline Gmail, follow our quick how-to below.

1. Sign into your Gmail account through Google Chrome.

Microsoft Visual Studio is an IDE made by Microsoft and used for different types of software development such as computer programs, websites, web apps, web services, and mobile apps. It contains completion tools, compilers, and other features to facilitate the software development process.

How does it work?
The Visual Studio IDE (integrated development environment) is a software program for developers to write and edit their code. Its user interface is used for software development to edit, debug and build code. Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense (the code completion component) as well as code refactoring. The integrated debugger works both as a source-level debugger and a machine-level debugger. Other built-in tools include a code profiler, designer for building GUI applications, web designer, class designer, and database schema designer.

Edit Your Registry for Maximum Pointer Speed

5. Set MouseThreshold2 to 0.

6. Close the registry editor and reboot your PC.

Good Morning All, Sometimes, no matter how much you turn up the settings, your touchpad (or other pointing device) just doesn't cover enough ground in a single stroke. You shouldn't have to lift up your finger, move it back to the other side of the pad and swipe again to make it across your desktop. And, If you have a laptop with a pointing stick such as a Lenovo ThinkPad, you really don't want to have to push the stick really hard just to move around.

Fortunately, with a simple registry tweak, Windows 10 and previous versions provide a way to push your pointer speed and sensitivity higher than the control panel allows.

Before You Begin

Before you edit your registry, make sure your pointer speed is turned up to the maximum in your touchpad / pointing stick software or in the mouse control panel. To get there:

1. Navigate to the Windows Control Panel. You can get there by opening the Start menu and searching for "control panel."
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RDPxSqYgTM6rrpxYCKQ6YC-970-80.jpg

2. Open the mouse menu. If you don't see the Mouse icon, set the "View by" menu to Large icons.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/acTDvewQKpvvVdz4FohioZ-970-80.jpg

3. Open your touchpad driver (if there's a link to it). It may have its own tab (ex: Dell Touchpad)
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fPsnXoRKJEWWo5A7ZnkV67-970-80.jpg

4. Set the pointer speed to max. You may have to set it separately for the touchpad and pointing stick.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kfA5Dgxcq6h6kMFRZojxV9-970-80.jpg

5. Navigate to the pointer options tab in the Mouse Properties window.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Kw8Lcb8p4QZzsGVUR8nKr5-970-80.jpg

6. Move the pointer speed slider all the way to the right and uncheck "Enhance pointer precision."

7. Click OK.

Everyone has a favourite web page that they navigate to as soon as they open their web browser. Whether it's CNN, Gmail or your most beloved sports/entertainment websites(For me, its dailymail.co.uk, footyroom and now nairaland), we all have that one page that we consider more important than the rest. This is why you'll want to know how to create a shortcut to a website on your desktop. You want to known what's happening in the world now, not two seconds from now.

Thankfully, Google Chrome makes it easy to drop clickable links onto your desktop, letting you jump to a web page in one click. Here's how to create desktop shortcuts for your favourite web pages using Chrome.

How to Create a Shortcut to a Website With Chrome

1. Navigate to your favourite page and click the ••• icon in the right corner of the screen.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/N5wVDZkq4h78gy8PHCCYMk-970-80.jpg

2. Select More tools.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mk3dLrDRDxVq7gEoZgitFi-970-80.jpg

3. Select Create Shortcut...
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/zbfATUGTwtURpqbkocWAfD-970-80.jpg

4. Edit the shortcut name.(Here you can name anything even for disguise e.g if a porn site is your favourite website, you can name it Recycle Trash/Bin)
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/k9ENZ73vqhMCxfqhiJqEGo-970-80.jpg

5. Click Create. If you check Open as Window, the next time you open the link, it will open without an editable search bar.
