This forum and article might be of some help. 'free OBD2 software with MPG calc' Incidentally, I bought a Mini ELM327 BlueTooth on eBay to play with. The plan was to leave it plugged into my vehicle OBD2 connector and have it communicate performance numbers via BT to my Droid X phone while driving. The plan was ruined when I found myself with a dead car battery the next morning. It seems that the Mini ELM327 does not turn off when the ignition key is off, and continues to draw power. Common Basic Android Terminal Commands Every Android Owner Should Know – Part 2 of 2 in Android, Android App Development by Rodge February 28, 2013, 10:01 am. First, you need to download a free app called Android Terminal Emulator. It is free and works on the Incredible. You do not need root for this to work. To change back to your normal MAC Address, just follow these steps to change it back or restart your phone. Actually, it drew enough power to get hot enough to partially melt the blue plastic case. A quick survey of other such devices indicates similar problems. I had to crack the case to install an on-off switch. Miso, 9:35 น.

But this is a 14 to 16 pin adapter. And I thought only Apple uses GD proprietary connectors. The shop manual calls the ODBII scanner the GST (general scanner tool), just to make the manual harder to read I suppose. BTW, if you never did it, for like $20 or so, there are websites that let you download the official manuals. I suppose there are pirated manuals as well, but $20 seems fair considering what cars cost. You get a one day subscription to the service. It is really intended for repair shops. Josephkk, 0:41 น.

Change Your Inbox Message Preview Settings in Outlook. BetterCloud Monitor. Here’s how to change the message preview settings in the Outlook Web App: And here are the instructions for changing your message preview settings in Outlook 2013/2016. This morning a series of new features coming to its Outlook for Mac 2016 software for Office 365 users, including those that will allow you to schedule your emails, track the message’s delivery, and find out if the email was read, among others. Some of the changes are rolling out first to those who receive early updates through Microsoft’s Office Insider Fast program, while other new additions, like email templates, will arrive today. Being able to schedule delivery is something Outlook has supported for some time in other versions of its software across platforms, including Outlook 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016, through its ” feature available in the Options menu in the Message. The new “Send Later” feature in Office for Mac 2016, however, adds a drop-down next to the Send button itself. After clicking on this option, you’re then able to select the date and time you want to send your email, which is saved to your Drafts folder until it’s time. Also new to Outlook 2016 for Mac is support for delivery and read (opened) receipts when sending messages. Microsoft notes, though, that email recipients can choose to decline to send read receipts. That means the feature won’t go so far as to replace the more advanced email tracking solutions on the market, which tend to use sneakier tactics in order to determine when messages are opened. The updated software will support email templates, too, as well as the ability to turn your emails into calendar events, just by dragging and dropping the email onto the calendar itself. This will turn the email subject into calendar subject, while the body of the email is filled into the event’s Notes field. The same drag-and-drop will also work to turn emails into tasks, if you prefer. Setting up new accounts is also now easier, as you no longer need to know what type of account you have (like Office 365, Exchange, IMAP or POP), and if you’ve signed into other Office apps before using Outlook, the software will just prompt you to add that existing account. The company says it prioritized which items to launch first based on user feedback, and these additions represent four of the most requested features. Most features are available today. The Request a Delivery and Read receipts, email templates, and creating calendar events and tasks from emails additions are available today to all Office 365 subscribers on version 15.35 (170610), says Microsoft. And the improved account setup experience is available to all Outlook Mac users on version 15.34 (170515). However, “Send Later” is first available to Office Insider Fast users today on version 15.36 (170606) but won’t reach all Office 365 subscribers until July. PowerPoint 2013 PowerPoint 2010 PowerPoint Online Before you insert or embed a YouTube video into your presentation, check to make sure you have installed everything for your version of PowerPoint. PowerPoint versions To tell which version of Office you have, see: PowerPoint 2013 To insert or embed a link to a YouTube video, you must install these updates and use these versions: • For all versions except:. • For, version 15.0.4605.1000 or later.

Video formats supported • HTML5 PowerPoint 2010 YouTube videos on PowerPoint 2010 have stopped working. In September 2017, YouTube discontinued support for the Adobe Flash Player, which PowerPoint 2010 uses behind the scenes to play a YouTube video embedded on a slide. As a result of this change, you can no longer play a video in PowerPoint 2010. Instead you get an error that says: Flash-embedded videos are no longer supported Following are two ways to work around this problem. Click a section heading below to open it and see more details. If you are able to upgrade, we suggest that you do so as a way to work around this problem that can't be fixed: • You can upgrade from Office 2010 to a newer version that doesn't rely on Adobe Flash Player to play YouTube videos, and therefore doesn't have the same problem that PowerPoint 2010 now has. To make the upgrade beneficial, you need to be using a version of Windows that supports the version of Office that you've chosen. Office 2013 requires Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7. Office 2016 requires Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7 Service Pack 1. If you'd like to always have the latest version of Office, you can become an Office 365 subscriber. Using Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac, you can embed QuickTime movies, MPEG-4 and digital video files, animated GIFs, Autodesk Animation files, SMIL video, AVI files and -- with third-party video add-ons -- Windows Media Video. And to compare a subscription versus a one-time purchase. If you aren't able to upgrade PowerPoint 2010 to a newer version at this time, we recommend you install an add-in named LiveWeb that helps you to work around the problem described above.

People come to QuickBooks Learn & Support for help and answers—we want to let them know that we're here to listen and share our knowledge. We do that with the style and format of our responses. Here are five guidelines: • Keep it conversational. When answering questions, write like you speak. Imagine you're explaining something to a trusted friend, using simple, everyday language. Avoid jargon and technical terms when possible. When no other word will do, explain technical terms in plain English. • Be clear and state the answer right up front. Ask yourself what specific information the person really needs and then provide it. Stick to the topic and avoid unnecessary details. Break information down into a numbered or bulleted list and highlight the most important details in bold. • Be concise. Aim for no more than two short sentences in a paragraph, and try to keep paragraphs to two lines. A wall of text can look intimidating and many won't read it, so break it up. It's okay to link to other resources for more details, but avoid giving answers that contain little more than a link. • Be a good listener. When people post very general questions, take a second to try to understand what they're really looking for. Then, provide a response that guides them to the best possible outcome. • Be encouraging and positive. Look for ways to eliminate uncertainty by anticipating people's concerns. Make it apparent that we really like helping them achieve positive outcomes. This software is also Windows PC only on this version of the My Passport Drive so don't try to use these versions on a Mac. As I have suggested for the Elements portable, copy off this software first if you intend to use for a PC. Apr 2, 2014 - I just built a new PC and my WD 1TB Passport external hard drive shows up. As a Device, but when I go to File Explorer, I can't see the drive. Ok, maybe i’m not understanding, but i’m still a bit confused. My Passport is already formatted for Macs. From what i’m understanding the NTFS is made to make Passports that are formatted for PCs useable on Macs. I don’t need that. I need something that i can download on a PC to make my Passport work on a PC. Is there a NTFS program that i can download on a PC to format it? Or is the FAT32 program made so i can download it on a PC to format my Passport to be PC useable? I hope i’m being clear, if not i’m sorry. Like I said, computers aren’t my thing. Thanks for your help again. The WD Elements and the WD My Passport external hard drives are targeted at the portable drive, on the go market place. The WD Elements is positioned as their entry-level drive for the portable consumer and Western Digital is quite open in saying it is a basic drive. The WD My Passport drive is aimed at the market above the Elements drive and classed as the start of their premium external hard drive range. And the WD My Passport comes in a 'for Mac' guise, but more on that later. Then the questions you may have in mind are; If there isn't a special offer on at the moment is it worth paying the extra to move up to the My Passport drive? And when there is a price premium. Is the My Passport drive worth it? Let's dig in deep and find out. Nope they come in identical drive sizes, we'll have to look elsewhere other than drive capacity to separate the two. The important thing to remember when you are planning to buy an external hard drive is to work out how much capacity you need for your Mac and not to scrimp. For example If you are planning on using the drive as a backup for Time Machine then calculate how much disk you are backing up and times by two and that way you will have the capacity you'll need as a minimum for use with Time Machine. In some cases it pays to have a product that has been on the market a while. In the case of the this drive was released to the market in 2013. It is a strong seller and has been consistently amongst Amazon's best sellers in the portable external drive market. It's well priced, reliable and flexible in that you can attach it to a Mac, PC or connect the drive to a games console. Yes, it's basic and that means there are no frills that come with the drive. And the painful truth is that sometimes those frills can look attractive but they can get you into trouble. More on that later. The My Passport drive is the newer product, released to the market in 2016, positioned by WD to be the next step up compared to the basic Elements drive. The product has also sold well, has proven to be reliable and has the same flexibility in that you can also plug the external drive into a Mac, PC or a games console. What is it about the WD My Passport drive that justifies the higher price? Well let us see. The USB standard is backwards compatible, thanks be. This means that if you have a newer Mac, say a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt connections you will need to purchase for yourself a USB C to USB A adaptor, or a USB cable that is USB C at one end and USB B Micro at the other end. Neither the nor the My Passport drives are Thunderbolt drives and won't read and write at Thunderbolt speeds. But Hey, you do pay a price premium for Thunderbolt drives and if you are not a power user - and you would know if you are one. A Thunderbolt drives speed isn't needed for backup or for storage of normal everyday files, pictures or music. Armed with your adaptor USB cable you plug into your new Mac and due to backwards compatibility your Mac will send the information down to the Elements or the My Passport at USB 3.0 speed. It may sound obvious to state but neither of these drives are classed as rugged in any way. Yes, they are sold as portable but there is little to protect the drive from shakes, drops excessive heat or cold. |
