Handling File Transfer Modes for Eyefi Card

The Transfer Mode Panel can be used when choosing the way your Eyefi card will upload photos and videos. Of course, it may depend on the type of Eyefi card you have, but commonly you may see two or three option tabs there: the Selective Transfer, Relayed Transfer and the Endless Memor ( this is only for X2 cards).

The changes on the Transfer Mode panel of Selective Transfer or the Endless Memory, unplug your Eyefi card from your PC with the Eyefi Helper and Eyefi Center still running, since the transfer mode settings are kept on your Eyefi card (private partition). While the Relayed Transfer does not need you to insert your Eyefi card in your PC.

Under the Selective Transfer, there are three options:

  1. The Automatic. This is the default option commonly for Eyefi card(configured during the registration). On this option, every video and photos on the Eyefi card are automatically uploaded to your assigned destinations.
  2. The Selective Share. On this mode, the videos and photos are uploaded on your PC’s destination. Only the videos and photos chosen that used the Protect key (also referred as the Lock key) on your camera are uploaded automatically to your assigned online sharing site. For more information on this, you can refer to your camera’s manual (find the protect/lock).
  3. The Selective Transfer. In this mode, those videos and photos that are Locked or Protected are transferred automatically to your assigned media destinations. Those unprotected videos and photos are not uploaded automatically and will be kept on your  Eyefi card. To assign the videos and photos to transfer, you need to use the Protect key (Lock key) to be able to protect the files during this action. Refer to the camera manual about the protect/lock instructions.

Remember: When you are using the Selective Share or Selective Transfer, the files in the Private folder are not transferred.The Relayed Transfer. You can activate this by default  when you are uploading videos or photos to an online sharing site. While if you are just uploading videos/photos going to a computer (as destination), the option of the Relayed Transfer can provide the ability to transfer automatically the files even when your PC is off. It can automatically transfer your videos and photos through a configured wireless network on your Eyefi card the Eyefi servers. If your computer is turned on and then the Eyefi Software is still running, it will connect to the Eyefi Servers to be able to download the staged media.

The Endless Memory. You can activate this on your Eyefi Pro X2 card (located in the Endless Memory tab on the Transfer Mode card settings panel). Once you have enabled it, you can select the capacity of memory where your Pro X2 card can start to remove the media which have been safely transferred. Now, the Endless Memory can only remove the videos and photos which have been safely transferred when your Eyefi card has met the percentage settings you set.

Remember: Using the Selective Transfer, only those photos which have been locked or protected and then transferred later by your Eyefi card are the only one will be erased. The photos not yet transferred are left on the card. The files in the Private folder will not be deleted through Endless Memory. The Endless Memory can only delete the videos/photos if the Eyefi card is power-cycled, and might require several power cycles that may vary on the amount of media that needs to be deleted.

It has always been difficult to transfer data from one PC to another PC. If you are upgrading to the new PC or buying a new one then there is a lot of data that needs to be transferred from your old PC to your new PC.

For example, an email can be considered as software through which you can transfer files from one PC to another. But there is a size limit above which you cannot transfer the files.

Another method could be using the LAN network, through which you can transfer files through shared folder that again will be time consuming.

Start Menu-All Programs-Accessories-System Tool-Windows easy transfer.

How To Transfer Windows 7 To Windows 8

Transferring your personalized data, system settings, and applications from Windows 7 to Windows 8 is surprisingly easy, depending on which solution(s) you plan on using. The first method that we’ll cover has a few steps that require some memorization, but as long as you have at least a basic understanding of how to transfer data to an external drive, you should be fine. While this method does have quite a few steps, it costs nothing, since we’re using built-in Windows components.

After you’ve logged in, use Windows 7 Start Search for “Windows Easy Transfer”. This is a built-in utility that is included with Windows Vista, 7, and 8. Do keep in mind that even though Windows 8 hasn’t been released commercially, at least for now, the Windows 8 version of Easy Transfer works as described.

Once you’ve launched Windows Easy Transfer, you’re presented with three options. The first is using a transfer cable, which can be picked up at most major retailers that carry computer electronics and accessories. While this first option might seem pretty easy, it’s really unnecessary if you have an external drive with a large enough capacity to save what you plan on transferring. You can also perform the transfer using a network connection between the two computers. The best option is to use an external drive.

After clicking the option to transfer to an external hard drive, you’ll be presented with options that will allow you to make general selections of what you would like transferred (documents, movies, pictures, etc), along with an advanced option to save specific folders and parts of the directory structure. After you finish making the selection, you will be prompted to create a password, thus ensuring that the data you’re going to be transferring will be secure. If you don’t plan on leaving the confines of the room that you’re in, and aren’t really concerned about covert infiltration, you can leave the passwords blank, and ignore this feature. From here, all we have to do is wait for the data to transfer to the external hard drive.

After the initial data transfer is done, unplug the external drive and plug it into the computer with Windows 8. Once the drive is recognized, use Search Apps for “easy transfer”. Almost the same steps are involved, except you’ll want to select “This is my new computer”. Once you select the migration file, Windows Easy Transfer handles the rest. If you chose to transfer applications, if there are any that couldn’t be transferred, Windows Easy Transfer will tell you which ones you need to download and reinstall. While this method of transferring Windows 7 to Windows 8 may seem a bit complicated, keep in mind that it’s free, and you won’t really be spending any money if you already have the necessary equipment at hand.

The second method is a lot easier, but it does cost money. Laplink’s PCMover is an application that automates the process of transferring the settings, applications and files from your old PC to your new PC. There are several versions of PCMover available, however you’ll want to purchase the “Home” version or higher in order to directly transfer from one PC to the other using a data transfer cable. The Home version is the cheapest of the viable packages, starting at $39.95 USD, and ending at the Professional ($59.95). The Business/Enterprise version is for those who have a network of computers that need to be worked with in order to perform the transfer.

After purchasing and installing PCMover on both computers, simply connect them with a transfer cable (which comes for free with the boxed package of PCMover for those willing to wait), or a network connection and you’ll be on your way. Depending on how much data is being transferred, it could take a while, but generally the wait time is fairly short. There is also an “undo” feature present with Laplink’s PC mover that will allow the user to undo any upgrade/migration/transfer in the even that the transfer isn’t successful, or they simply want to undo it. Either of the above methods work, and usually prove to be the most effective.

How to Use Windows XP Transfer Wizard for Windows 7 Upgrades

As wonderful as Windows XP and Vista have been for us over the years, a new day is upon us. And with that new day comes Windows 7, arguably the best incarnation yet of the trusty old OS. Of course, with every new version of Windows, we must transfer our old data from the previous operating system onto the upgraded system. Luckily, it’s become a lot easier with newer versions of Windows to transfer and upgrade, especially with XP and Vista. We’ll be looking today at how to upgrade from XP to Windows 7.

Installing The Wizard

First, you’ll need to make sure that you’ve got a PC running your XP software and then another one that is running the new Windows 7. If you haven’t installed Windows 7 yet, make sure to do that before you continue. Next you’ll need to download the Windows Easy Transfer program from Microsoft. Do this on the computer running XP. You won’t need to download the Wizard on the computer with Windows 7 because Windows 7 already comes with it installed. Once you’ve downloaded the Wizard, install it on XP and you’re ready to go.

Using the Wizard

With the Windows XP Transfer Wizard Windows 7 can access all of your important data and saved settings that you used with XP. To do this, simply open and run the Transfer Wizard on the PC using XP and then do the same with Windows 7. You’ll see a set of instructions pop up and after you follow them your data will be safely and securely transferred. Make sure that you have either a network connection or an easy transfer cable, which can be found at any computer shop and connects to a USB port. An external hard disk can also be used if you wish, or any other form of removable media.

Checking for Errors

Previous versions of Windows had some difficult issues with transferring, often resulting in lost files or corrupted data. The last few operating systems have cleared up these problems greatly but there may still be certain problems when you’re done transferring. At this point you’ll want to check all your files and data and make sure that everything proceeded smoothly. If certain software is missing or corrupted, try installing the individual programs or use the Wizard again. Windows 7 usually works best with Vista because the two are very compatible but XP also typically transfers to 7 with minimal problems. If you notice that something didn’t carry over properly, there’s no harm in trying again. Hopefully, though, everything will have worked out perfectly the first time around.

Upgrading to Windows 7 for Small and Midsize Businesses

Windows 7 has been called the best version of Windows ever made. While the jury is still out, we can safely say that what we’ve seen so far is very impressive. As wonderful as XP and Vista have been over the years, it’s clear that Windows 7 is the way to go for consumers and business owners like Andrew Defrancesco,  alike. But switching all your important business files and data from one operating system to the next is always a nerve wracking task. What if all my contacts are erased? What if my email files are corrupted and lost forever? Don’t lose your head, though. Windows 7 and the new, improved Transfer Wizard have made it much easier to transfer your data, with a much lower risk of problems. If you need advice on businesses, automotive marketing agency can be hired!

Transferring Files

The Easy Transfer Wizard comes already installed on Windows 7, but you may need to download and install it on your PC running XP or Vista. Here you’ll be able to transfer all the data you wish but it is recommended that you leave the Registry alone for a second. The Windows Registry contains your most frequently used files and settings and it is particularly troublesome to migrate from XP or Vista up to Windows 7. The settings on Windows 7 often butt heads with the data already in the Registry and many users have experienced errors, corruption, and lost files. It’s better, then, to clean and backup the Registry before you migrate it to Windows 7.


Windows Vista to 7 Upgrade Migrating Registry

You can backup and clean your Registry in one of two ways. You can use the Wizard to scan everything or you can depend on a third party Registry cleaner. Either way, the instructions are pretty simple and the program does most of the work itself. You can manually clean your Registry but this isn’t recommended because you could accidentally remove a vital file and ruin your whole PC. At any rate, once the data is backed up you should clean it. Now that you’ve got a backup in case of emergency, you can transfer the Registry over to Windows 7 and hopefully everything will have worked out perfectly.

Windows XP to 7 Upgrade

Windows XP is a little trickier to migrate with because it is further away from the setup of Windows 7. Vista and Windows 7 experience the fewest issues because they are so similar in style but XP is a bit of a dark horse. At any rate, you should also backup and clean your Registry before transferring it over and this should also go for any other data that you consider important or valuable. Then, after you use the Transfer Wizard, go through your updated Windows 7 and check to make sure that everything you transferred is there. XP has the highest rate of transfer issues so make sure to go over everything with a fine-toothed comb. If anything is missing or corrupted, try the Wizard again or simply install the individual software.

PC Migration is Possible but What’s the Best Migration Path

As advanced as PCs are these days, there are still a few problems that have been plaguing computers ever since their early, less impressive years. Migrating is a perfect example of this sort of problem. In years past, migration was almost more trouble than it was worth and only now is it starting to become somewhat painless. Still, there are plenty of issues with migrating software; you’ll still sometimes end up with missing information and damaged files. To make the transition as easy as possible, just consider these tips.

Clean up Your Registry First

To migrate your applications and files, your PC must not only move your folders but also the entries in the Registry. This is why migration can be so annoying at times: The Registry is often to blame when files or applications come up on your new PC corrupted or damaged. But you can reduce the chance of these mistakes by scanning and then cleaning your Registry before you begin migration. Either use the Windows Registry repair tool or use a third party tool but, no matter what you choose, make sure to take this important step.

PC Migration Software

These days there are programs that allow you to migrate your data more easily, but we are still far from seeing a perfect migration program. Still, PCmover and Acronis make pretty dependable products, to name a couple brands. They make it easy to install a hard disk on your PC and then transfer the data quickly and efficiently. Just make sure to look at the reviews of any software you might consider before you purchase it. Migration is always tricky and no piece of software has perfected this art yet. Your best bet, then is to go with the highest ranked migration software based on reviews.

File and Setting Transfer

Though a good migration program is the quickest and easiest way to migrate your software, some of us don’t have the money to plunk down on a new piece of software whenever we need it. But there are still a few options for these folks. If you have Windows XP, you can take advantage of the “Files and Settings Transfer Wizard” or “FAST”, for short. This program is free if you have Windows and you can use it to save your files and settings and then transfer that information to your new computer. Though this program is far from perfect, it can definitely get the job done if your files aren’t too intensive. The best part, though, is that a safety net is installed so that you can just reclaim any files that were lost or damaged in the transfer, if such an event were to happen. Yes, PC migration is still a pain but each day we’re getting closer to making it a little more bearable. In time, who knows? Maybe someday migrating your files will be as easy as clicking a button. Until that day, though, these options are the best we’ve got.
