Computer Questions?

Hey guys. I was wondering if someone could give me a hand. I feel like I’m always asking questions and looking for help, but I’m not sure who else to ask this too. I’ve figured out the whole etree deal. I know how to download and do all that good stuff. Unfortunately I’m running low on computer space now as a result. Even after deleting and such. So today I went out and bought an external hard drive. I copied the files that I downloaded and need to put on disc. My question is: Can I keep just my music files on just my new external drive? If so how? I sent the downloads to my new drive. I went to delete from the c drive and after checking it was also deleted on the new drive as well. Where am I going wrong.

Sorry to start a thread for this question, but I’m frustrated and I have tons of good music to download and now I have all of this space (250 gig), but don’t know how to properly used this damn thing.

Thanks for your help!

Okay I never claimed to be the smartest guy alive, but damn I feel dumb. I figured out all I have to do is unplug the external drive when I’m deleting from the c drive.

“We are now all dumber for having to listen to this.”

Hmm, it shouldn’t work like that, you should be able to just delete the ones on the c: drive with the removable drive plugged in.
Are you sure that your method has worked okay? If you try and play one of the files on the new drive, is everything fine?

I don’t know now that you mention it. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks.

I have a question for anyone who cares to answer it…

I just got a new Macbook and a wireless router so that I can access the internet while I’m at home. So I hooked it up and everything is going fine until all of the sudden I get knocked offline. My laptop has everything needed to access wi-fi already built into it supposedly… by all accounts this shouldn’t be happening, so what gives?

I’d say check your wireless/network settings on your router. I recently got a router, and even though I’m sticking to a wired network, it seems very easy to have the two machines not communicating correctly. I assume that you now are not able to access the internet? I was going to say to check out your router’s support online, but I guess you may not have that option. This was probably less than informative, good luck.

Does it work intermittently now, or just not at all? Which wireless router do you have and did you have a full signal when you first connected?
Sometimes cordless phones work on the same frequency as the wireless router and they conflict, that could be a reason as to why you got knocked off but it’s difficult to say without more info.

REBOOT EVERYTHING!!!

LOL! I was just going to type this. Rebooting can solve all the world’s problems.
