Help! My Recovery Drive Is Full

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I keep getting a pop up warning that my recovery drive is full. I can’t perform backups. What can I do?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></strong></em></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi Joy, thanks for the question. Some computer manufacturers provide a Recovery drive option built in to the computer, usually on a D: drive. This is not a separate, physical hard drive, but a partition of the main hard drive that is designed to be used only if you need to restore your computer back to its original, factory settings. (You know how when you bought a computer in the past, you used to get a disk with the operating system? This partition replaces that!) This would be done only in extreme cases or problems, as it wipes out all of the changes you’ve ever made to the computer.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">That being said, nothing should be stored by the user on that partition. If you ever needed to perform a system recovery, those extra files that have been saved may cause that process to fail. The drive space on the recovery drive is fairly small, and typically is not much larger than would be needed to complete a system recovery.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone  wp-image-69693" height="131" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/drive1-450x131.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="450" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In working through this problem with Joy, we found that she had somehow saved a backup to that recovery partition, which caused it to be full. Once she deleted or moved that backup to a different drive, her recovery drive was back to being only half full. Keep in mind, since the Recovery drive is designed to be a certain size, it may grow to be almost full. If you get a warning that the D: drive is almost full, that’s OK – as long as you have never added anything to the drive. It’s designed to be almost full.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> <img alt="" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-69694" height="121" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/drive2-450x121.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="450" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Remember, a backup should never be set to save to your Recovery drive. One, this will fill up the drive very quickly and make a system recovery difficult if needed. And two, the Recovery drive isn’t a separate hard drive, but rather a partition of the original hard drive. So if something were to happen to the drive, you wouldn’t be able to access that backup anyway. You should set your backups to go to an external drive or flash drive.</span></div>

How To Copy And Paste On Any Device

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Copy, cut, and paste. It’s an essential skill when using an electronic device. I’m sure many of you know how to do this on a computer, but what about on a tablet or smart phone? We’ll review them all.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">First, lets review the difference -</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Copy</strong> – making another copy of the words, paragraph or picture to be placed somewhere else, similar to a copy machine</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Cut</strong> – removing the selection entirely to be pasted somewhere else, just like cutting with scissors</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Paste</strong> – placing the selection that was cut or copied into a different location</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, the steps. On a PC, first you would need to highlight. This can be accomplished by using the mouse and dragging over the words until they are highlighted. You can also accomplish this with the shift key. Move your mouse to where you’d like to start copying, click and then hold the Shift key on your keyboard. Then click where you’d like to end the highlighting.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Once your text is highlighted, you can either use your mouse or some keyboard shortcuts. If you want to use the mouse, point to the highlighted selection and RIGHT click. You’ll see a menu pop up and you can choose copy or cut. If you’d rather use a keyboard shortcut, when the text is highlighted, hit CTRL-C for copy, or CTRL-X for cut.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Then move wherever you’d like to paste, right click, and in that menu hit paste. Or move wherever you’d like to paste and hit CTRL-V.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69897" height="292" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/copypaste.gif" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="449" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For a Mac computer, the process is the same, except the keyboard shortcuts. There is no CTRL key on a Mac keyboard. Instead, use the CMD button, or you can use the right click option.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For any touch screen device, like a tablet or phone, all you need to do is press and hold on the text.  On an Android device, you’ll see the highlighting start and you can drag the anchors to complete what you’d like to highlight. You’ll see a menu at the top that shows you options for copy  If you long press on something already highlighted, such as a web address, you will see a menu pop up like the one below. Then you can copy or cut and then paste to wherever you’d like, it’ll save to your clip tray.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On an iOS device, when you press and hold you’ll see two anchors that you can drag to highlight a selection. You’ll also see the menu options to copy and paste.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69923" height="90" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/cutIOS.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="393" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You can also use the magnifier to assist with the selecting the word or words you’d like to highlight. When you first press and hold, this is what will come up to allow you to move to the exact word you want to start with.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-67704" height="259" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/08/magnify1.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="399" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Again, this will copy to a virtual clipboard and allow you to paste wherever you’d like.</span></div>

Help! My Yahoo! Email Doesn’t Work On The iPad!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><strong>After upgrading my iPad, I can no longer receive my Yahoo e-mails.</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><strong><br /></strong></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Major software updates like iOS 7 can occasionally play havoc with some of your existing settings for email on the iPad. However, it is easy to remedy. Simply follow the instructions below:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Ensure you know the correct password for your Yahoo! email account. If you are not 100% sure what that is, it is always a good idea to test it to make sure that the password you are thinking of is indeed the one you use for your Yahoo! email account. So, open Safari and navigate to <a href="http://mail.yahoo.com/" style="color: #3b67a5; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://mail.yahoo.com</a> and log in to your account. If you are already logged in, log out and try to log back in again to ensure that your password works.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Next, find the Settings app on your iPad and go to Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars to see your existing email accounts.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Tap on the Yahoo! account to access the mail settings, and then tap Delete Account. It sounds scary, but you are only removing the account from the iPad. None of your emails, contacts, or calendar events will be erased when you delete the account, they will just be temporarily removed from the iPad.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">6. In the pop-up box, enter your full name, email address (including the @yahoo.com ending), and your password. By default, the description will read Yahoo! so you can change that if you like, or just leave it as it is. The description only serves to better identify the email account if you happen to have several different email accounts on the device. Then tap Next in the top right-hand corner to confirm your settings.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">

Radio Station Running XP Hijacked By Hackers

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As someone who spent many years working in Broadcasting, I can tell you this is every station’s worst nightmare. Hackers were able to take over the automation system of a three radio stations in Louisiana by getting into the automation system and demanding money to release it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69869" height="150" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/croppedxp1.jpg" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="332" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters, the stations were running automation programs on a Windows XP computer. The owner thought the stations would be safe, despite the end of security support for Windows XP, because he had a firewall. (Clearly, he’s not been reading the Tech Tips Newsletter) Now he’s rethinking that position, upgrading all of the computers and software in his facilities and encouraging other stations to do the same.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">These days radio and TV stations use automation software. They input commercials, songs and programs as digital files and put them in a playlist that runs according to a schedule. Many radio stations prerecord their DJs or use satellite radio programming, so there’s often no one at a radio station overnight.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">At this particular operation, when the morning crew went in at 5 a.m., they discovered they couldn’t get audio over the air and couldn’t get into the computer to fix anything.  Then ransom e-mails began to arrive, demanding money to allow the station back on the air.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69870" height="220" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/automatonsystem.jpg" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="220" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In total, three stations were off the air for seven hours.  Posts on other industry websites show that hackers trying to get into broadcast automation systems are not uncommon. One engineer reported multiple attempts to hack into his station coming from IP addresses in Russia and China.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a lot of broadcast operations still running on Windows XP.  Updated automation software is expensive, but in the long run probably not as expensive as the potential for losing all that ad revenue, viewers and listeners if your station goes down due to a hijacking.</span></div>
