Heute fügte ich alle Informationen benötigt, um eine bewegliche Bibliothek von den Apple iTunes auf einem USB Stock oder USB Antrieb laufen zu lassen zusammen. Diese Methode läßt die gesamte iTunes Anwendung von der Speichervorrichtung laufen und bildet sie einfach, iTunes Bibliotheken von einer einzelnen Position zu handhaben. Ich glaube, daß dieses ist, wie iTunes haben sollten entwickelt zu werden - wie, ein Bibliothekbesonderen für jeden Computer zu haben eine Frustrierenweise ist, Ihre Musik zu genießen.

Was mich über dem Rand drückte, ist meine Frau, die Musik von den iTunes an der Arbeit und an Synchronisierung sie mit dem iTunes Computer oben kaufen wünscht zu Hause. Gewöhnlich wird dieses getan, indem man die Musik kauft und direkt zum iPod downloadet, aber sie ist ein CPA und reist von Position zu Position für Bilanzen und nicht sogar benutzt den gleichen Computer alle Zeit - dennoch liebt sie ihre Musik. Die Lösung war, iTunes von einem USB Blitz-Antrieb laufen zu lassen, um eine einzelne Bibliothek zu handhaben.

Dieser Tutorial schließt das Anbringen von iTunes auf einen grellen Antrieb ein und stellt autorun Akten für Automobil-ausstoßende iTunes vom grellen Antrieb her und wie man iTunes auf unterschiedlichen Computern gründet, um eine Musikbibliothek vom einzelnen grellen Antrieb laufen zu lassen. Selbstverständlich arbeitet diese Methode auch für größeres Speicherfestplattenlaufwerke - im Allgemeinen alles, das als Massenspeicher-Vorrichtung auf Ihrem System erscheint. Wenn Sie nach einer langfristigen Strategie für das Handhaben Ihrer iTunes Musik suchen, empfehle mich ich stark, diesen Prozeß zu einem externen Festplattenlaufwerk das heißt, zu tun mindestens, 120GBs. So hier gehen wir:

Hier ist eine schnelle Zusammenfassung, also wissen Sie, was wir in erhalten:

The good folks at AppleTVHacks just released a way to use an external drive via USB for additional storage. Here comes the 1TB AppleTV! So here’s the high-level summary, the AppleTV hack allows the system to boot normally from the internal drive of the AppleTV then allows for digital content to be stored, pulled and played from an external drive. Unfortunately this AppleTV hack is only working on Max OSX at the moment, but a community call to action has been made to incorporate this hack to support other opperating systems. Ahh, how nice.

On more occasions that I’d like to admit, Windows will not eject a USB device from my operating system when using the Safely Remove Hardware in the icon tray. The annoying error message Windows displays “The device cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later” usually appears in a time sensitive situation. So what is the work around?

Try using a freeware software utility I found while reading FreewareGenius.com called Unlocker. Unlocker is a utility that frees a file or folder which is being used by another program or process. Albeit there are situations that a file should remain tied to it’s process or program but other times you need to force the release. (more…)

USB on DOS, does it work? Sometimes. At least that’s the answer Ed gave me from BootDisk.com.

USB was never meant to run from DOS, yet there are situations you want a USB device to run from DOS. For those elite select few check out BootDisk to homebrew your own solution.

Unfortunately there isn’t one disc or zip file you can unpack, load and mount a USB device and for that reason BootDisk gives you several options to figure things out.

I would say BootDisk has the most complete collection of USB drivers around if you are one in need of USB on DOS.

You can run WordPress, or any blog platform, from a USB stick. It’s easy and useful. If you are anything like me, you are probably laughing while asking the question “Why would anyone need to run WordPress from a USB drive?” I laughed too, until recently.

About two months ago I received a notice for jury duty. Just a couple days ago I served for jury duty. I wasn’t called into a trial, but I did make the most of my day. All thanks to my WordPress on a stick. I didn’t know if the court house had internet access and didn’t feel like reading a book all day, so I dove into a little project to run WordPress from a stick. After all I had a long list of website tweaks I wanted to perform and this could be the perfect day to do them.

After a day of working with my remote blog platform I came to realize there are many reasons why this is valuable…here is a short list I came up with: (more…)

GetUSB reported on running Linux on a USB key, we even reported on a full running PC shaped like a key. Today we found Mac-On-A-Stick. A prebuilt package to run that ever so classic Mac 128K and Mac Plus.

You’ll need several utilities to build the Mac package and some time on your hands. I opt for the quick download…

So what could you do with this Mac-on-a-stick, well maybe show your kids what the original Mac OS looked like (good timing with the iPhone launch and show them where Apple began), play with some old system software to re-live the good-ol-days or possibly use a Mac on Windows or Linux machine.

You can download the zip and build everything on a flash drive as small as 32MBs (if you still have one that small) just make the jump over to Nothickmanuals.info.

Update: This post has been amazing and generated a lot of interest.  To make things easier, I have compiled a USB Super Stick for you.  If you are interested in a 1GB drive with all the apps [below] for $20 - shoot me an email: gmo<at>getusb.info and I’ll send you more details.

USB flash is not (yet) a portable PC whereby any USB KVM monitor is your work station - but it will get there. In the mean time, making the most of your USB stick and creating a portable software suite isn’t hard - you just need a little guidance. So… for you road-warriors or super geeks the following list of 55 portable applications are worth taking note. With 2GB, 4GB and 8GB drives readily available at extremely cheap prices making a portable software suite and creating a Super Stick is quite easy.

When building your Super Stick there are numerous programs designed to run specifically from a USB drive. Best of all, almost all these programs are free, so put that Amex back in your wallet and lets start downloading. Here’s a list of 55 of the most useful USB programs around. (more…)
