Are you referring to the Android 5 update? I updated and in the first week the battery went from at least 40% to less than 15% whlie I slept twice. I tracked it down to 'unified daemon' sucking the battery and fixed it by changing the Locating method mode from high accuracy to power saving...

Chances are you can just unplug it and it will cope. My ASUS P8P67 copes fine with that so yours is very likely to.

Take a screen grab and open that in PS; then use the sampler?

I use linux and tried ufraw, darktable and raw therapee but lightroom and games are the two areas of computing where I still boot into windows. It's more that I don't want to spend all the time learning another interface when I have one I am already very familiar with than there being anything...

I came across the same problem when building a DLNA server with a Samsung TV and mkv files. I was going down the codec/transcoding route (not understanding how it could be a codec if it played fine from usb). However, the solution in this case was not a codec but the Samsung required custom HTTP...

That has me puzzled. How can a backup not contain everything? Unless you mean copying everything every time rather than only changes, but even then sometimes imaging a drive takes very little additional time over synching backups.

That solves that problem. Having a house the size of a garage I tend to overlook the possibility of seperate buildings :)

Also not preaching or wanting to be the cause of additional outlay on hardware but ... what happens in the event of a fire?

Which software package? In most you would use the eyedropper tool to pick a colour from the image.

I assumed the backup device contained hard drives and there was a possibility to restore them to the state they were in before the deletion. Never used one so don't know if files are stored in a similar fashion to just a HDD or more RAID like.

Photorec is a good utility for recovering picture data from hard drives. If the disk was repartitioned at all then Testdisk is another useful tool to recover deleted partitions. If you do have another hard drive of same/bigger size it's sometimes a good idea to clone the drive with the lost...

I have that exact case running i7-2600k fitted with a Venom heatsink/fan, a GTX660 graphics card, 4 hard drives and 2 SSDs running in it. The case fans never get off their slowest speed doing anything except playing Crysis 3 for a long time and even then they aren't exactly whizzing. I have...

For a year or so now I have found the same. I struggle to get something to work but with the help of a few google searches I get there. Then at a later date I find myself struggling with something so off I go to google only to find as I type in my search it presents the precise search I had...

I have occasionally had problems with devices that use a relatively high current on front USB ports. It's usually due to the really thin wire used to wire them to the motherboard header. Storage devices are not usually that high in the current department though.

They don't even get warm when velcro'd to a HDD like mine are. You can pretty much stick them anywhere you can get cables to.
