Can I transfer data from a dead English (made in USA) laptop to a new Japanese (made in Japan) Laptop?
I have a dead laptop that I want to transfer the data from. I have another laptop that I can transfer the data to. Problem is, the dead laptop was built in the USA (meaning, it's operating system is in English) but the only available laptop that I can transfer the data to is a laptop that was made in Japan (meaning the operating system is Japanese, etc). Now, my question is: Is it still possible to transfer the data from the dead laptop into the new Japanese laptop? Or would the different language operating system cause a problem? And if it's possible, how? What would work best? What do I need to buy? Thanks!

Answer 1 :
A caddy, or external hard drive enclosure does the trick & is pretty cheap too, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145082 just pull out the hard drive from the old dead laptop & slide it into the caddy ^ & connect to usb port of your new laptop

Answer 1 :
People travel with more than one laptop all the time. It's no problem as long as they are not intended for sale. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/ US Customs reserves the right (like Customs in every country) to inspect your baggage. That includes inspecting the files on your computer in search of things like child pornography. However, I have traveled to the USA many, many times over the past decade with a laptop and have never been inspected at all. Also don't know anyone who was inspected or see anyone have their laptop inspected. I am sure some people have their laptop inspected but it apparently isn't random. There is no passport control or Customs inspection exiting the USA. It is your responsibility to give your Immigration form to the airline when you leave: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/business_pleasure/vwp/i94_samples.xml Hope you have a good trip!
Answer 2 :
Yes you can, there are no rules to stop you from doing so. You might carry one on-board with you and book one through in your luggage. You would have no trouble going through Customs with them or returning to Japan - they are personal items

would I be able to get free electricity from a public place in Japan
would I be able to get free electricity from a public place in Japan?
I want to go traveling around Japan and I need electricity because I want to be able to charge my laptop. my first idea was to travel in a car and charge it from the car's battery, but I can't afford a car. so I'm planning on using public transport to get around. I know Japan's very technologically modern so is there anywhere I could charge my laptop for free, other than a hotel room, 'cos I'm gonna just take a small tent.

Answer 1 :
Electricity in Japan is not free. So no place for that.
Answer 2 :
There were several precedents in Japan that people were reported to the police because they recharged their cell phones or laptop computers at train stations. They were charged for "stealing the electricity." Unless clearly marked for "laptop connection" or "laptop station", you'd better not do it.
Answer 3 :
Not a good idea.They will ask you where you plan to stay when you arrive.If you say "in a tent", you will be denied entry. You can't just set up a tent anywhere.The police will want to know what you're doing.If you can't afford a place to stay, they will deport you.
Answer 4 :
Japan isnt Europe; its generally not a place you can go backpack, so i doubt you can get free electricity anywhere; there arent very many public campgrounds if any in japan. Thats why so many Japanese tourists come to US national parks; to camp.
Answer 5 :
It is illegal to get electricity without permission from any public place and some foreigners were arrested at Narita airport actually because of stealing electricity from the electrical outlet for cleaner in Japan. Hotel room would be best. You can charge anything you want if you pay instead. Japan is not needy-friendly country.
Answer 6 :
Nothing is free in Japan. Not electricity, not camping, not anything. There is no charity, no goodwill, no free lunch. You need to re-think your plan. Quick.
Answer 7 :
some mc donalds have connections for computers campsites will be a problem, if it's the summer just sleep rough but bring lots of mozzie coils. another idea to charge your computer would be in a toilet , by that i mean a modern toilet with the washlet type toilet seat they need an electrical connection so just go in the the bog and charge your lap top. there's always a way. don't let the nay sayers get you down. most high class shopping malls have the washlet style toilets now.
Answer 8 :
I'm sorry for asking this and I don't mean it rudely but why should Japan allow you this? What will you bring to Japan? I'm not opposed to panhandling or poverty but if you can afford to come here, you're not poor. It seems a bit arrogant to suppose that some other nation should support you and your laptop just for grins when it's economy is in the doldrums, it has people living in tents in parks in Tokyo, and other pressing needs.
Answer 9 :
The internet cafes in Japan often have private booths. They're often used to sleep in by people who missed the last train. I suppose you could sleep in there too fairly cheaply. Anyway there's lots of electrical out-points in there. It's not free like air is but you can fit in your charging on the sly
