What are the basics of portable hard disks? If I have connected to my computer, can I just shutdown my computer without ejecting it? Can it be placed bear to speakers?

I called my computer's support line to make sure that it was the correct one and that it would work. However, when I slid in the chip, the small slit at the end of the chip that goes it first does not align properly (by what seems to be mere micrometers) with the part it's suppose to fit it. The width is correct but the slit is the only problem. Is the chip defective? Was I lied to by the support line?

I mean Ram for instance....On-line it's 35.00, BestBuy it's 65.00. I know retailers mark everything up......I did not know they marked it up that much....

What gives?

The internet works multiple other places except my house. There are two other computers in my house which the wireless works on. My laptop says it is connected and it has full bars but if you try to do anything nothing will load. I tried repairing the ip address and it says it cannot be done at this time. Whats going on? and how do I fix it.

I should say that what i am using now is a Gateway desktop from about 6 yrs ago.

All i will be using it for is school (papers, research), downloading music, burning cds rarely, surfing the internet, and instant messaging.

I will not be editing movies or anything like that. I will not be burning DVDs so i don't need to get the next model up with superdrive.

My friend says to upgrade the harddrive to the next level but do i really need to if that is all i would be doing?

Thanks♥

I just made a new account on my mac, and the safari doesn't seem to be there. On the dock, there is just a grey question mark where the safari icon should be.

As far as graphics cards go, the "state of the art" ones, as far as I can tell, are Nvidia and G-Force. I noticed several specs that affected the price... one being MB of memory (from 256 to 512) and the other a seemingly random number, like 8500, 7200, one even as low as like 1550... could someone explain these numbers to me or perhaps just recommend a good graphics card? Thanks.

I want to take an image with a white background and put it over another image (as a new background). Every time I try, the white stays. How can I fix it?
