Q: Insert the drive's USB cable into one of the thin, rectangular slots in your computer's casing.  If you're using an iMac, you may find the USB ports on the side of your keyboard or on the back of the iMac's screen. Not all Macs have USB ports. If you're using a newer Mac that doesn't come with USB ports, you'll need to purchase a USB-C to USB adapter. It's the blue, face-shaped icon in the Dock. You can also just click the desktop. This menu item is in the upper-left side of the screen. It's near the bottom of the Go drop-down menu. You'll find this in the middle of the Utilities page. You'll see it in the window on the left side of the Utilities window. It's at the top of the Disk Utility window. It's in the middle of the page. A drop-down menu will appear with the following format options:   Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - The default Mac format. Only works on Mac.  Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) - Encrypted version of the default Mac format.  Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) - Version of the default Mac format that treats files with the same name differently if there are case differences (e.g., "file.txt" and "File.txt").  Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled, Encrypted) - A combination of the three above formatting options for the Mac format.  MS-DOS (FAT) - Works on both Windows and Mac computers, but has file size limit of 4 gigabytes.  ExFAT (Recommended) - Works on both Windows and Mac computers. Has no storage limit. Click a format you want to use. Doing so will cause your Mac to begin erasing and reformatting your external hard drive. Once it finishes, your drive will be reformatted.
A: Plug your hard drive into your computer. Open the Finder. Click Go. Click Utilities. Double-click Disk Utility. Click your external hard drive's name. Click the Erase tab. Click the "Format" drop-down box. Select a format. Click Erase, then click Erase when prompted.

Q: The amount of water you need varies from person to person, but generally you want to maintain consistent hydration to avoid becoming dehydrated by exercise, especially if you sweat a lot.  The easiest way to determine whether you're well hydrated is to look at the color of your urine. If it's clear, you're well hydrated. The darker your urine, the more water you need to drink. Start early in the day and rehydrate yourself regularly and consistently. Avoid chugging a large amount of water before starting exercise, however, since the sloshing in your stomach can make you feel sick. Since caffeine is a mild diuretic, you may need to drink more water than you would otherwise to counteract that effect. Particularly if you're engaged in vigorous physical activity, you may need more than just water to replace the liquid and nutrients you lose through sweat. Sports drinks can assist with this as well as giving your body more energy.  Read the labels on sports drinks carefully, and avoid those with added sugars. To avoid caffeine overdose, you also may want to avoid sports drinks that have any amount of caffeine added. Since most sports drinks have carbohydrates, sodium, potassium, and protein, you also may benefit by drinking them before exercise. In most cases, sports drinks are only beneficial before or during exercise if you are involved in vigorous activity lasting 90 minutes or longer. To avoid becoming dehydrated during exercise, you must actively replace the fluid you lose through your sweat. This amount will vary among people, and depending on the conditions and environment in which you're engaging in physical activity.  The easiest way to determine the total amount of fluid you are losing during exercise is to weigh yourself immediately before and then immediately after exercise. Every pound of weight you've lost equates to approximately a pint of water. Keep in mind it's not unusual to lose as much as 5 pounds of fluid during intense exercise, especially if you are engaging in a vigorous activity that takes place outside in warmer months. Drinking water isn't the only way to stay hydrated. Foods with a high water percentage can be a good alternative to drinking water on its own, especially if you don't like the taste of water.  Both watermelon (as the name suggests) and celery are more than 90 percent water, as well as cucumbers and strawberries. While celery isn't necessarily packed with nutrients, it is high in fiber and several other energy-sustaining nutrients such as potassium. You also can get water from other drinks, such as coconut water or skim milk.
A: Drink plenty of water before you exercise. Use sports drinks to recover electrolytes. Calculate your fluid loss during exercise. Eat foods that contain a high percentage of water.

Q: Fill a glass full of cold water, then slowly drink it until it’s gone. As you drink, try to hold your breath for as long as you can. Additionally, you might plug up your ears. This technique works best if your water is ice cold rather than just chilled. Add water to a glass until it’s half full. Then, lean over your glass and drink from the side farthest away from you, which will simulate drinking upside down. As another option, you can lie upside down off of your bed or couch, then carefully drink the water.  Stop every few sips to see if your hiccups have gone away. Be careful that you don’t accidentally breathe in the water or pour it into your nose. Take a spoon and fill it with white or brown sugar. Then, hold the spoon in your mouth for 5-10 seconds. Finally, swallow the sugar and take a big sip of water. If this doesn't work straight away, it's not a good idea to ingest spoonful after spoonful of sugar. Instead, switch to a different technique. Place a lemon wedge into your mouth. Then, either bite into the wedge and drink the juice, or suck on the wedge to get the juice. If the taste is too much for you, it’s okay to add a little sugar to the lemon wedge to sweeten it. The taste of the lemon juice causes a similar reaction to someone scaring you. Vinegar may help combat your hiccups, but you may find its smell and taste to be unpleasant. Since pickle juice contains vinegar, you can drink it instead. Take a few sips of pickle juice or put a few drops of it onto your tongue. Then, repeat as necessary until your hiccups are gone. All pickle juice contains vinegar, no matter the type of pickle. Scoop out a small spoonful of peanut butter, then place it onto your tongue. Hold it in place for 5-10 seconds to let it dissolve some. Then, swallow the peanut butter without chewing. Other nut butters like almond butter or Nutella can be substituted for the peanut butter, if you prefer.
A:
Sip a glass of ice cold water through a straw. Drink from the far side of your glass or upside down. Take a spoonful of sugar. Bite or suck on a lemon wedge. Sip on pickle juice for an easy way to consume vinegar. Eat a spoonful of peanut butter.
