Reboot and Call Me in the Morning - The Sure Fire Way to Solve Most PC Issues

One Cool Tip - http://www.onecooltip.com
Is your PC slow?  Is an application acting unusual?  Has a program stopped working?

Try a reboot first.

A complete shutdown and restart fixes most Windows issues 99 out of 100 times.

Why does a restart fix PC problems?

Some software can get bloated by hogging too much memory as files are opened and closed.  Or small coding issues causes the application or operating system to halt without an option to fix itself.  Many users keep their computers on for extended periods of time so these little issues can build up.  A restart clears any computer memory errors that have occurred since the last restart to start new.

So before wasting time screaming at your computer, try the reboot.  When the computer starts, watch for any messages that may appear.  This can help diagnose if there are hardware or operating system issues.  And before you do a restart, be sure open files are saved.

Enjoy!

How to Back Up Gmail Contacts

One Cool Tip - http://www.onecooltip.com
Are your Gmail contacts backed up?

 Didn't think so.

 If all of your contacts just disappeared one day, would this be a disaster? Names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and anniversaries for hundreds or thousands of your contacts?  Poof!  All gone.

For many people, contacts are central to keeping an organized life.  Especially since this central source is synced with phones and other mobile devices.

We put our trust in Google.   But we should hedge our bets by having secure backed-up information, just in case.  

 Here's how to export your contacts.  Note: if you are using the "preview version" of contacts, you'll need to go to the older version to export your contacts.  Look for the link int he lower left.

  • Sign in to Gmail.
  • At the top, click Gmail > Contacts.
  • Click More > Export... 
One Cool Tip - http://www.onecooltip.com
  • Select the group of contacts or All contacts to export
  • Select the data format of your export. 
  • To transfer contacts between Google Accounts, use the Google CSV format. Select this format as your primary backup for your Gmail contacts.  Note: To ensure you can export your data to other applications such as Outlook, do a second export and select the Outlook CSV format.
  • Click Export.
  • Choose Save to Disk > OK.
  • Select a location and file name to save your file, and click OK.


 That's it.

And be sure to backup your exported file as well to a CD, digital drive or cloud-based service such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
