Transfer Info From Desktop to Laptop

[mandydollie]

does anyone know how I transfer the information that I have on my desktop in PP to my laptop?

I tried a backup to a CD, but PP won't let me pick the drive that my CD is in....

HELP!!!

 

[jenniferknapp]

what do you normally back up to? do you have a jump drive? or an ipod nano or video?

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

A jump drive is the best way to go. Back up to the jump drive, take it to the desktop and restore from the jump drive. They're getting cheap, too. Online is where you can get the lowest prices but even Office Max has half gig jump drives at pretty low prices.

 

[mandydollie]

oh..my soon to be hubby has a jump drive i do believe...thanks guys!

 

[dannyzmom]

I backup to a little thing that says LEXAR. It's silver and can connect to my keychain and I have no clue what it's called. But wait - thanks to Jilleysue I can snap a pic of it, shrink th epic and post it here!!

My Thing-a-ma-jig is bigger then your Thing-a-ma-jig! Holds more, works faster and is portable...bwaaaahahahahaaa

 

[PChefAbey]

I have that same one Carolyn. My daughter dropped it in the sink full of water this weekend. I haven't tried it ou tyet to see if it still works!

I don't know that working faster is necessarily a good thing for a thing-a-ma-jig.

OK- I'll pull my mind out of the gutter now.

Ya know, some thing-a-ma-jigs are waterproof!

 

[mandydollie]

i like my thing-a-ma-jig..... i guess my small town girl homemade word was a hit? OR... possibly.... you're all just making fun of me... which knowing this group is more the case......

I think I have serious Thing-a-ma-jig envy.

1. We NEVER make fun of anyone (at least to their knowledge) without the prior consent of others who have already treaded that path with much success (and then we all just jump on the bandwaggon).
2. If you see your name or find yourself amongst conversation between the good folk on this forum...RUN!!! (be blessed, that means we are willing to tolerate you either until we get tired of talking about you or you present us with a lawsuit, whichever comes first)

Bwaaahahahaaaaaaaa....[evil laugh]

 

[mandydollie]

man... i just took my lawyer off of speed dial!!!!ha ha

We are not making fun of you, on the contrary, we are very appriciative of the fact that you (inadvertantly) lobbed up a softball at which, several of us took a free swing.

Whether it's a thing-a-ma-jig, thingy, doohickey, whatchamacallit, whosit or thing-a-ma-bob, this crew will find a way to have some fun with it.

And as long as what-ever-it-is transfers your files successfully, who cares what our gang does with it?

[mandydollie]

That's what I love about this group... a simple question like how the heck do I transfer my info... turns into a couple page discussion about something completely unrelated!

Yes I agree.. we are a cooky bunch aren't we!!

Cheers

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Are you accusing us of hijacking threads? Us? Would we do a thing like that?[hijack] Does anyone know where I can get wrought iron hooks to make my own cookware hanging rack? [/hijack]

I'm not sure all of us get into a cooky baking mood.

 

[mandydollie]

ohhhh.. cookies sound good!!!!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

You have to clean out your cookies once and awhile, too, because they can really slow down your system.

Try these...Ive used them before

http://www.guadalupeforge.com/shooks.html (for making your own)

http://www.kitchensource.com/pot-racks/av-welcome.html (they have a nice premade selection)

http://www.allpotracks.com/Pot-Rack-Hooks-C8508.html (all kinds of styles here)

HTH!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Well, thanks for the tip - except guadalupe forge has discontinued the hooks and the other two aren't quite what I'm looking for. But you had three more sources than I've found so far!

 

[chefann]

(Anne, still have those patent leather boots?)

Maybe.

Not very long at all....

But wasn't that my original point? Sometimes you don't want a thing-a-ma-jig that's faster.

If we didn't like you, we wouldn't waste the brain power thinking up the jokes.

There should be a warning on the Chef's Lounge: Enter at Your Own Risk. Denizens are Feisty and May Talk Back.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Maybe.

I wonder if there's a therapist somewhere who could help with premature thing-a-ma-jig?

In California, I suppose.
