HP Probook – how to turn keypad mouse back on - keypad, mouse not working

HP Probook – how to turn keypad mouse back on when you accidentally turned if off.

This Trick works for ProBooks 5000 and 6000 series.
If you have accidentally disabled your Touchpad, you will see a Yellow LED light on the top left of the pad.

Double tapping the top left corner of the Touchpad
(where the yellow LED is ) toggles the pad On.
If it is On, it will turn it Off.

When it is off - you can only navigate your computer via keyboard commands, which makes it very difficult to get around, or you can navigate with a USB / wireless mouse.
This happened to a customer of mine and I found the fix on an HP Forum.

Hope this helped you.

How to Eject a CD or DVD on Mac OS X if you don't see the disk mounted. Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities and open Terminal Type the following command: /usr/bin/drutil eject Hit the Enter key and Voila! That should eject the CD or DVD - unless it is physically stuck. Hope that helps someone. Hope to post soon!

I have not blogged anything since May 2013. It has been almost 2 years - WOW - where does the time go? I would have likely posted something but this "Cancer" has really taken its toll physically, mentally and affects me spiritually. One who is spiritually minded, hearted, and spiritually conscious is ushered into self examination / evaluation (not that I was not doing that before), but even more so since the illness. The experience has made me further realize how much I depend on God and a relationship with Jesus Christ. I would not trade anything for that relationship! For anyone who may be reading this I hope you know Jesus as your savior, if you do not, the Bible says in Matthew 7:7 - "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Seek Ye first the Kingdom of Heaven - Never Give up. Believe and God will reveal Himself to you. Read His Word "The Holy Bible". King James Version is my favorite. NIV - Second Favorite. Seek the Bibles Online "the differences" find your favorite. May God Bless you as you Trust him or Seek Him. Once you find Him, you must still seek him daily for His Will.

How to delete your temporary files on your Windows computer.

How to delete your temporary files on your Windows computer.


Your computer will gather temporary files from normal computer use. Microsoft Word will put some of these files on your computer for the program to work as intended, as will Internet Explorer, other  browsers and other programs.

If you allow these files to build up it will slow your computer down.

I have listed below instructions on how to delete these files.

Alternately, you may want to download CCleaner, a program that will delete these files from your computer by running the application.
Do an Internet Search for CCleaner, download from majorgeeks.com, cnet.com or other website that you (somewhat) trust.

Note:
This will work for Windows 10, 7, Vista and Windows XP

From your Windows desktop:

1 Click your Start menu
2 In Windows 7 (and Vista), key in "cmd", in the search pane just above the round Start menu, and hit your "Enter" key.

In Windows XP, click Start > click "Run", then
key in "cmd" without the quotes, click "OK", or press you
"Enter" key.

Once you are in the "command" screen (or window), 

key in the following:

c:\ del *.tmp /s 

Then hit your "Enter" key

Also Delete everything out of 

c:\windows\temp

Note: you may receive errors on some files as Windows may currently be using them.
This is normal, not all files will be deleted.

To Mac or To Windows, that is the Question

I really like Apple computers, but depends much on what you use the computer for. I work in IT / Help Desk support and have used Windows since Windows 3.0,(Used DOS 5.0 some before that) before Windows 95.
I like both Windows and Mac OS X, but I choose Mac OS X for my music and video editing, Garage Band, iMovie and iTunes, I like all of them quite a bit and use them often.

I still use Windows, and primarily support Windows in my IT / Help Desk job.
I like Microsoft Office, Word, Excel and Outlook on a Windows computer, if you will be using those quite a bit, you may want to consider a Windows based computer.

I have more difficulty in formatting documents in MS Word (and other applications such as Text Edit, and E-Mail) on the Mac, cannot get as many letters / numbers on a line etc. I can make more use of the page in MS Word on Windows. Formatting text is also easier in Windows. In Windows, hit the "Home" key on your keyboard and your cursor moves all the way to the left of the current line, press the "End" Button on the keyboard, your cursor goes to the end of the current line. Hit CTRL + Home, your cursor moves to the top left of the document, and press CTRL + End, your cursor is on the bottom left of the document.
I have spoken with other Mac users and they cannot provide me with a Mac equivalent to those. You can hit the Home button on a Mac keyboard and End, your cursor will be at the beginning and end of the document respectively.

There are virus considerations, reportedly Windows is more vulnerable, mostly (In my opinion, and many others, Google it) that since there are more Windows computers, they are a bigger target. Use care and learn safe browsing and not using peer to peer web sites will help your Internet experience on whatever platform you choose.

Other Considerations

If you get a Mac, you can still install Windows on it using Parallels, Mac's BootCamp, Oracle's Free VirtualBox etc. and boot between Windows and Mac. Bootcamp gives you the choice of which operating system to boot into, where VirtualBox and Parallels allow you to boot into Windows (or Linux) while still being in Mac, you can switch between the two, close out of Parallels or Virtual Box, and you are still in OS X.

Many other scenarios exist, hope you find this helpful and are happy with your choice. As you know you will likely lay out more money on a Mac.

The Cloud and SAAS - Software As A Service

The Cloud and SAAS - Software As A Service I copied the quoted portion of this from the following blog site: http://blog.beyondtrust.com/bid/90202/PowerBroker-Mobile-on-a-35-Linux-Box Link to Blog.beyontrust Article

I like the analogy of using old apps as the author likens using some old apps designed for a network appliance, in "the cloud", as putting toothpaste back in the tube.

Quoted portion: "Unfortunately, there's a lot of misinformation about "the cloud" both in what it does and in how it works, and it's necessary to clear the air about software designed for SaaS. Many enterprise software companies would have you believe that shoving whatever on-premise solution they've shipped for years in the cloud will suddenly reap all the benefits of elastic and distributed computing. Dressing up software originally designed as an appliance, and then putting it "in the cloud" is the technological equivalent of putting toothpaste back in the tube. While theoretically possible, it's going to be a mess."

The computer environment has changed by leaps and bounds, especially since the introduction of the iPhone and the other mobile devices, pads and mobile computers. The terminology is changing fast as well.
"The Cloud" exists in many forms but at its basic level "the cloud" is for remotely storing your data and running apps that are on remote servers using your remote computer or "device" which can be a phone, tablet or mobile computer in general.


Where is "the cloud"? It is all over, here are some example of where the cloud is today.

Apple's iDrive http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/ Apple iCloud Features Link

Windows SkyDrive http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/skydrive/windows-app-faq Windows SkyDrive Link

Windows Mesh http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/mesh-devices-sync-upgrade Windows Mesh Link

Google's Drive https://drive.google.com/ Link for Google Drive

Digital services like "Netflix", and "Amazon Movies", hold content in the Cloud on remote servers, you can "access them" they are not yours, but that would be another example of cloud computing.

There are many other examples of Cloud computing. Your company may have its own private Cloud Storage, or remote applications.

Not all people want their data in "The Cloud", or all of their data, as long as that remains true, people will have their storage media in forms of DVD's, CD's, Flash Drives,etc.
