Windows 10 Stuff, questions & advice
I was happy with Windows 10 until the update issued about 3 weeks ago. This affected both my PC and my sons, so much so that my son's PC kept rebooting and mine went very slow. However the recent fix that was issued last week has sorted out the rebooting issue and speeded things up a bit, but cert...

Windows 10 Stuff, questions & advice
As I said last night, the discussion about SSDs is taking this thread a little far "off-topic" and so I would like us to get back "there" ASAP. However, since replacing HDDs by SSDs can make a huge difference in whether a PC can run W10 quickly or not then "I've started and so I'll finish" with a...

Windows 10 Stuff, questions & advice
Anyone have any experience of getting a Western Digital network drive (a MyCloudEX2Ultra in my case) to map to a drive in File Explorer? I managed to get it to work on my old Windows 7 machine (although it was a pain) but have failed (after eight hours!) to get it to work on Windows 10. Ideally,...

Windows 10 Stuff, questions & advice
Just to make things even better, I can access the drive through the web browser, but it only shows the first twenty or so folders in the my "My Pictures" folder. That gets me to "AGM"... I cannot see the other couple of hundred folders. I have over 2TB of images on this drive... Well I've sol...

Windows 10 Stuff, questions & advice
Thanks for your help but it fails at step 1. The drive doesn't show in the File Manager at all. It did on Weds, but doesn't today. Hmmm... I did the experiment shortly after I'd turned on the PC this morning. Just checked it (several hours later) and MyCloud no longer appears under 'Network'. So ...

It was the SMB security thingy. I think I enabled the wrong variant a few days ago. None of the help screens (either Microsoft's or WD's actually match what my screens look like... Anyway, it works now. Just need to sit back and get hacked... :shock:

Stupid, stupid, stupid!
I just accidentally deleted my photos from yesterday's portraits workshop at the 100 year anniversary bash before saving them. What was I thinking? I had been experimenting this morning and decided to delete those by selecting the file on the camera; I am sure the file with the portraits was not sel...

DId you run the Recova in deep scan mode? Make sure you don't restore anything it does find back onto the same card drive.

DId you run the Recova in deep scan mode? Make sure you don't restore anything it does find back onto the same card drive. Thanks richandfleur, I have just done that, it took ages as it runs on my old Windows computer. It found loads of deleted files but sadly not the ones I wanted; bizarrely the...

Stupid, stupid, stupid!
John’s idea about formatting and then using a recovery programme yielded hundreds of photos dating back to March in .dng, listed helpfully in date order, and a random number as .jpegs. Sadly though not the ones from the 23rd, something very strange must have happened and they were completely obliter...

Warning on the dangers inherent in trying to use SD cards as your "permanent storage" medium!
Backing up computer data is a huge topic and a very complex one. Hard disks aren't safe, they do and will fail, SDDs are too new to tell, as with anything there will be more reliable disks and less reliable ones. Multiple disks reduce the risk but are a pain to maintain. The most reliable option t...

Warning on the dangers inherent in trying to use SD cards as your "permanent storage" medium!
I think the best approach is to have a solid backup regime. My picture files are on my computer (desktop) hard drive. This gets backed up to a permanently plugged in separate hard drive once every few months. I further back up to another plugin HDD drive once every six months or so.

Warning on the dangers inherent in trying to use SD cards as your "permanent storage" medium!
Another issue with cloud storage is that the company providing it might just stop doing so with little or no warning! Or you may miss a payment or two and loose access. BTs cloud storage systems have gone through several incarnations which were simply dropped and replaced. I wouldn't trust anothe...

I did notice Google seem to automatically back up any photos on an android phone to their servers whether you like it or not. Not so. It can do, or you can turn it off...

Warning on the dangers inherent in trying to use SD cards as your "permanent storage" medium!
I only keep JPEGs in a folder on my iMac, which get uploaded to the cloud, but the originals are loaded directly onto an SSD and backed up monthly to a hard drive. I do this because I don’t want my cloud cluttered up with RAW files which get deleted during the selection process, as I assume that if ...

Getting the other side of 10 years for them though!! My main computer is needing an appraisal as it hit the floor to see if it is worth repairing (2012 Macbook Pro). I am giving Linux a long term test at the moment before committing any which way. Can't go back to Windows easily due to HDD formattin...

Hi All. Just a general query/question. Last night I was asked to go along and try my luck with a local photographer at his studio. Along with some models. With a Christmas shoot.. Let me point out first here I love working with models, doing shoots. But hate the very thought of Chrictmas a...

I'm all about the end result, rather than getting hung up with numbers. I let my K-3 float to a max of 3200, and 1600 if i want/need a particularly clean shot for any particular reason. Less stress and more try. Bottom line is the exposure triangle. If you really need a lower ISO then you ...
