• Refresh after Windows10 resembles the old Firefox; all pages in FF look 'safe mode' and other issues.

  Hello

  I recently downloaded Windows 10 and noticed FF goes really slowly. So in some way I have refreshed it. I knew that this would erase some bits of data, but now I am unable to restore things.

  It looks like an earlier version. When I go to any page FF, everything appears in a list. I can't choose a new theme, for example, b/c the Mozilla page cannot display graphics. In addition, I'm typing this in Chrome b/c there is no text box when I open this page in FF. I don't want to go back to Chrome.

  Thank you!

• Start-up and other issues

  The other night, I was dl a game from one of the links you get in games in program files. Everything was fine until I tried to install it then the pc froze. I cut the power he turned his back and he got to the homepage then went black, then I myself ran safe mode 3 virus and antispyware, had to do a restore to start just so he can show all of my office and other. I'm not sure what goes on with the pc, but I was going to just make a recovery, I think that is what they're calling a reformat now, one day, if not let me know lol. I don't have a disc for the pc, they told me at the store windows no longer gives records, nor do I have a return to the high drive could never get to burn for me. I know I can go and do it as problem of recovery is when I'm not in safe mode and the pc gives me a full boot, I can't do anything. It is not to connect to the internet, if I try to click on everything about windows I get this lil swirly circle. Sorry I'm not very familiar with the technical names but I think I got my point in. If someone could help me to reformat to back I would really appreciate it. I have a hp all in one desktop pc. Thank you.

• Problem with iTunes gel preferences and other issues.

  I don't know why, but the week last iTunes randomly decided to not work: whenever I try to open the preferences panel it hangs and release only randomly after a few minutes only to freeze again when I change the tabs. Also, all devices that I connect so that open freezes iTunes, yet once it thaws in itself rarely after waiting an hour or more but crashes again soon after.

  I tried everything short of wiping the disk and start from scratch (not an option to be honest): followed every single link help I found on Apple's site, used several malware scanner, defragmented, made several clean install iTunes and its components.

  I'm on an ASUS N53SV win 10, latest version, all the updated drivers. I don't really know what else remains.

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• Sound and other issues with Qosmio x 300-11

  Hello

  I purchased a Qosmio x 300-11s there are a little over 2 months. I have usually more than 1 audio application on at a time, for example radio game world of warcraft, but since today if I try to run more than 1 sound application or a program like world of warcraft which runs to several sound channels at once I get nothing. The sound stops completely right, I can also hear the fan hitting the basis if I up the laptop a little on the side. In games and other things, that he also got a little slow, Warcraft as much as the drop in 50-15 FPS, but which could also be a problem in game. Did I do the fix try the sound and the fps of the laptop or is it an internal problem maybe

  The game slows down could be related to the problem I have with temperatures on my 300 x 11 s. You can download a temperature monitoring tool like HWmonitor [http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php] and [http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/] Furmark to measure the temperature of the gpu, then all running stability test mode non-plein screen and post back with the gpu reported max temperature.

  Mine will reach close to 100 c while performing this test and I bought it 3 weeks ago. I hate the idea of what it will be like when a little dust deposits on the fan

• WNDR3700v2 dropped connection and other issues

  So a few days so that I was playing a game on my desktop connected via the ethernet cable disconnected from the internet and I got a metered connection. I noticed that the green light blinking on the modem was green and not flashing and even with the router so I turned my computer off and unplug the modem and the router, and 10 minutes later tried to connect the modem and it is not at all connect up to 30 minutes later. Then today, while using the computer my modem was fine but the active router orange power light and the activity of solid turned orange flashing light but the others were green and after a few minutes limited connection it started working again.

  At the moment I went into the settings on the router and I got a weird message say im signed another device which is impossible because I only have access to the settings on this computer. I immediately changed my password router and wifi password. He had nothing in the logs at all. I have the latest firmware and have UPNP turns off and wide and remote router PIN is disabled. I know that my computer does not have a virus because I just got 5 months ago and I use it only for my mmorpg games and not surfing the web, I use my phone for this. Also I leave only 1 devices to connect to the router at a time to prevent the spread of a virus, if one of them has been infected. My computer and drivers are up-to-date and secure, and so is the router. I tried to replace the modem and the surge protector and that did not help. Strangely enough, it is just started recently and I did not move my modem or router for about a year, so I can't imagine his interference.

  Also, I used to get the attacks back almost one or twice daily random ip addresses so im not sure if, maybe, they broke into my router the or not, but I regularly use virus protection/firewall and scan with malwarebytes and I opened all the ports

  Maybe the router is running out.

  Try to reflash the firmware on the router, reset and reconfigure.

  When you reconfigure, replace all the settings to a different SSID wireless and use a wifi password stronger as well as the connection to the router password.

  Observe your connection.

• Pavilion DV7-3165DX, Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter, communication and incompatibility issues

  After much research, I decided to buy a Pavilion DV7-3065DX. Then, I walked to my local Best Buy to say the 3065DX had been abandoned and was no longer available for purchase. However, the 3165DX, his successor had arrived and was very similar to the previous generation. After a brief discussion to justify the increase of prices with myself, I gave and was sold.

  Within hours, I was in College, trying to connect to the WiFi network without success. After several hours becoming more and more frustrated, I decided to call it closes unexpectedly. Rushing home after class, I plugged the new Linksys WRT160N, I had also bought wireless router and configured on my desk. Once completed, I tried to connect using the new Pavilion. To my surprise, it worked! (And no problem whatsoever no less). So, apparently, the wireless adapter works, but does so only on some networks.

  A week later, I tried to connect to a number of public and private WiFi networks of different types with limited success. Most importantly, I am able to connect to my home network, but not to the public networks in my college or city libraries. At one point, the Office for my college indicated that my WiFi adapter is one of a handful of cards on the list of incompatible devices to their network. As it was to buy the laptop in the first place, I am extremely frustrated.

  I turned to the support pages of HP for a solution. I considered a update driver despite the use of the HP Wizard to keep abreast on all software downloads and updates. To my dismay, product for the Pavilion DV7-3165DX page lists of Broadcom WiFi adapter, which does not correspond to my hardware (Atheros AR9285). What's worse, is that the manufacturer's website offers no driver downloads to customers that its site is adapted directly to product manufacturers.

  At this point, I'm increased and not sure what to do. I am already attached to this laptop. Apart from the war with his fingerprints on its black and shiny chrome surfaces shiny, the problem with the Atheros WiFi card is the only problem that I had. I hate having to go through the ordeal to return, and I do not think that this problem requires the sending of the product to HP for repair. Furthermore, I believe that if it came down to one of those, I simply return the product and find my way to another product by other manufacturers in total.

  This certainly isn't the experience I had hoped with my first purchase of HP.

  Any suggestions?

  I have the same question... However with me the solution wasn't in the pilot. I spent 3 hours on the phone with technical support, try to understand.

  What it comes down to say that Atheros AR 9285 is a shi * ty wireless card. It supports 802.11n Protocol, but only 2.4 GHz (the same as the b/g frequencies). My Cysco wireless router was broadcasting 5 GHz Wireless-N and AR 9285 was not able to detect it. Once I changed the router settings to allow 2.4 GHz Wireless-N Networking, the Atheros card was able to connect under the Protocol N. However, the maximum speeds of 2.4 GHz card are slower than 5 GHz card.

  I wish they would give an option to choose what wireless card to install in my laptop. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I'm always done what they me screwed on.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Bluetooth and other issues

  Hi all.

  I'm new here and I'm new to Blackberry.

  First off the coast, I had a Blackberry 9000 last week, but she has someone to another email set up on this subject and I can not understand how to change. I downloaded to my computer and it connected but I have no idea how to change because I want to set up a google mail.

  Then, I have a problem with bluetooth. I can connect to other damage and it works very well on the hands-free and also I can send files ok but I can receive even if I have been through the creation and does what I think allows files to be received.

  Then I tried to use Tapatalk to some of the other forums that I use, but every time that I down load the application I does not work on my phone, it says only: can not be found. Now I have asked on the tapatalk forum but have had no response, so I was wondering if anyone here has tapatalk running on BB here and if there is something I need to do

  Thanks for looking Ste

  Hi and welcome to the forums.

  first to change ar add email accounts, you must go to the home screen and select the installation folder, u must find the icon of configuration of the e-mail that allows you to edit, delete or add emails

  (if you don't see the e-mail configuration icon then you don't have a data plan and you need to call your provider and activate a plan of "blackberry internet service".)

  and on receipt of files via bluetooth to the phone smart BlackBerry does not appear on other devices unless u manually select "receive via bluetooth' could be done from the icon 'media' on your home screen click on support and then use the blackberry key and select"receive via bluetooth ".

  about browser you can use the wap browser that costs, when you set up a wifi connection, you need to manually switch the browser 'hotspot', that could result from the inside of the browser application by pressing the blackberry button, then selecting options, and then click the browser then your browser you will find 3 browsers wap browser that costs , the internet browser which is based on a data plan and the browser of access point which is your target if your wifi on.

  in the application you have trouble with I've never heard of him or used so I'm sorry but I can't do u advice on something, unless I have an experience with.

  hope that helps.

  Hi my name is Khan
  I use a Blackberry Bold9000

  I'm having a lot of problems in my phone

  (1) I can't use appworld because my country is not supported. Why and how I do supported

  (2) it's always when I download app Twitter + facebook app. I get an error massage. Service plan is not supported. Contact your service provider.
  My ISP is "Mobily"... I contacted them they said melon time, we provide a complete service plan + I checked all my sound all set to update versions

  Please, we are the most people who use black berries in the Middle East

  and you put your desktop in the Middle East to the Lebanon

  We need to be heard, I really love RIM, but I need recognition.

  Hello and welcome to the Forums!

  If you're hoping that RIM will see your message - these forums are a chain of support to users, not a conduct of user-to-RIM. Therefore, it is unlikely they will see what you wrote. However, if you have specific and constructive ideas for them, I heard they accept this by e-mail to [email protected].

  Understand that RIM has no unilateral control over the availability of AppWorld. On the contrary, a triad of entities must agree - RIM, wireless service provider, and Government. As the main entity to profit in this triad, I've always suspected that the RIM is not one that could hinder the process. So, what you can do, is put pressure on your company and/or your Government to allow the AppWorld in your country.

  In addition, you should know that AppWorld is simply a portal, vending apps developed mainly by others. Therefore, it is not your exclusive supply source - there are others that you can try (e.g., Handango, Handmark, BPlay, GetJAR and Mobihand). I found that there are very few applications that is exclusive to AppWorld. You can see the online catalogue and then look for other sources of supply, including quite often on the developer website.

  Your service provider is responsible for providing all services and support for you. No one else has no control. They need to solve this problem. You have the ultimate leverage - you pay for services they don't deliver. They have the ability (in fact, the responsibility) to escalate your case at RIM for extra support if necessary. You have no free method to request support from the RIM as the escalation of your provider.

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry Smartphones far East language and other issues of Support for Bold 9780 - please provide your comments!

  Hello

  Here is my card for your info:

  BB Bold 9780 (bought 3 days ago - unlocked to carriers)

  My carrier - Vodafone (Australia) - BIS active

  Computers - Macbook Pro

  After some research on the web all day, I discovered that far East languages is not yet available on the Bold 9780.

  I understand that I must language of d/l a far east of the carrier (mine is Vodafone Australia), in order to read and input Chinese, Japanese, or Korean language on the BB. It's extremely frustrating, and I feel that we're going backward in the field of smart phones - globalization have been an important factor for many bright smart phone users out there.

  I have a few questions, I hope that you guys can provide comments:

  1. what kind of time we talk to have the language support for the far East region? I would never have bought the new BB (probably would have gone for the 9700) if I knew that East Asian languages is not available on the new BB! ?? I know that it is covered by the carriers, but surely RIM provides the build?

  2. as I am a newbie (I just 2.5 years of iPhones), I do not understand the concept (or it's documented all that clearly) to have a 5 device and software OS6? what the devil is the difference, or are they just the same? thinking, maybe this is... but why is already released OS6, but I still see the "last and best Device Software 5" throughout the site of BB? someone help me please understand this.

  3. is it possible that I can load an earlier version of the device software (Vodafone provides a Far - east Pak BB Bold 9700)? I tried several times, after running and unzipped the file in Desktop Manager, the device software is not even on my Desktop Manager (v6). is it because the Desktop Manager detects the version of my phone and does not allow vodafone to 9700 from the list of applications to load software? or does?

  4. on my MAC, I can't install the plugin App world - he says that it is not available on a Mac... How mac users supposed to do use desktop base access App World? I know that we are not a majority, but it is obsurd - that being said, I'm not unreasonable, I can live with that.

  5 make BB have phone support in Australia? again, I can live with not one, but I've seen feeling is also unreasonable.

  Please don't get me wrong - I could met whining - but I desperately want my new device works... I love so many things about the BB, and after taking the big step of the iphone, I find a lot of things that were never mentioned on crackberry, or any other site of fanboy of BB...

  Thank you in advance, look forward to your comments!

  Hello

  Okay... Let's start first... these forums are not a communication channel / rim. These forums are rather a community of support to users. RIM offers zero frontline support... all support is carried out by carriers and authorized resellers, who have the ability to escalate into WHEEL if necessary.

  OK... with that of the road, we shall proceed:

  Impossible for anyone here to know... or if they don't know, against the team of specialists on this site to reveal.

  Another interest is the fact that, through the agent download portal for your carrier indicated, your BB model is not yet listed:

  OS 6 is the next generation of BB OS (and there's even chatter on OS7 "out there"). The version the most recent supported by your operator is available via their download portal linked above (but with your conspicuous by their absence model number). OS 6 is now available for some model BBs only (I don't know if it has been released for your template declared BB). But the BONES are never published by RIM to the public... rather only to carriers who must certify and adopt an operating system and then release it to their users. The reason for this fall at the beginning of this post... they (carriers) are responsible for all support... so, they reserve the right to adopt or reject an OS that RIM just to present to them.

  You can use ONLY a bundle of BONES that is your specific model BB number... nothing else will work. A 9700 isn't a 9780, so OS packages are not interchangeable. The best procedure, that I know about (upgrading, downgrading, reload) load a bundle of BONES is here:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-device-software/how-to-reload-your-operating-syste...

  Note that this only works on PC, Mac. But, you are not limited with this procedure, for only your carriers OS packages. You are free to use any bundle of BONES of any carrier until it's your specific model BB number. If you choose to do, then everything just insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML.

  I send back you at the beginning... all support starts with your carrier.

• My laptop HP Pavilion G6 takes so long to start and other issues.

  Hello! I have problems with my laptop, I have a HP Pavilion g6. This isn't an old computer I only got it for less then a year. My laptop takes so long to start. When I turn on the laptop it takes so long to come to the screen where u enter your password and when I type my password it takes so long to come to my home screen and now its freezes sometimes when I throw things like facebook or other things. I tried fixing it by having my laptop for a problem look. He found a problem that I've corrected, but it did not help. I tried google, and he says things like u might have a lot of cookies, junk files, virus or cache etc (I have an anti-virus installed in my computer as well). Very confusing! Its my 1st laptop after a very long period and this information is very confusing to me. If anyone can help!

  Original title: problem with my windows 8.

  Security Essentials scans files as they are downloaded from the Internet, Yes.  In my opinion, no other additional internet security is necessary as long as you practice good habits like not downloading websites you really trust and take seriously the messages of warning and never just by clicking 'allow' unless really trust you him.

  Also on startup programs, you have no need to again use the program. If you disable on this auto start, you can still open the program when you want normally (the only difference is that the program cannot start itself without you more).

• Photoshop CS6 will create not instant and other issues

  Recently, I had to update my computer and now works on Win10 (as 7) with the suite CS6. Just put the programs yesterday and noticed a few immediate problems. Two main issues I'm need a fix for and impossible to find on most of the files, I cannot choose to 'Save For Web'... "and now I know why. and when you use the Shift + Alt + Ctrl + E keyboard shortcut to generate a merged snapshot of layer in the layers panel, the shortcut doesn't do anything. I can create snapshots of history in the history panel, but that's all.

  I have checked the forums and help sections, etc.. The option "Merge a copy of all visible layers into target layer" is not available in my program for any reason any. I included a screencap of the relevant section of the default hotkeys for PS (from the photoshop reference guide) compared to what is in my program settings. I also checked to make sure that this control is not just 'hidden' - it is just not there.
  There may be other problems that arise, but for now, that's what I have. Can't find the answers elsewhere... I hope that someone else has had this problem and knows a good solution for it. I hope that this is just a step somewhere it's simple and I've simply forgotten... Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately, CS6 is no longer supported and is not recommended with Windows 10. There are several posts on things, people have tried with CS6, but most of them seem to be hit or miss at best. Many users have downgraded Win 8 to continue using the CS6.

  These are only a few of them:

• Configuring the listener and other issues

  I installed 2 instances of database on the same database and the same house database.
  Instances use the same listener. If I try to start the business manager in the browser for both instances,
  Enterprise Manager starts just to the last installed instance. I edited the listener.ora one file
  Add a Description more with another port number as follows:
  
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = merge)(PORT = 1522))
  )
  
  
  
  for the following content:
  
  LISTENER_APPDB =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = merge)(PORT = 1521))
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = CIP)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
  )
  )
  
  now the file looks similar to the following:
  
  
  LISTENER_APPDB =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = merge)(PORT = 1521))
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = CIP)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
  )
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = merge)(PORT = 1522))
  )
  )
  
  ADR_BASE_LISTENER_APPDB = D:\app\oracle2
  
  SID_LIST_LISTENER_APPDB =
  (SID_LIST =
  (SID_DESC =
  (SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)
  (ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\oracle2\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
  (= Extproc PROGRAM)
  (ENVS = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ONLY:D:\app\oracle2\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oraclr11.dll")
  )
  )
  
  I also changed the port of one of the instances in the file tnsnames.ora from 1521 to 1522.
  It is now possible to launch Enterprise Manager in both cases. But after I connect to one of the
  bodies with Enterprise Manager from the logs of the other instance. Is it ok then? Will I have problems
  with this configuration? Should I do something different?
  
  Second question: if I installed an instance during installation, some patches where
  automatically installed. After that, I installed another instance. Do I have to patch this body too?
  Are the hotfixes installed for the DBMS together or just for a single instance?
  
  * Third question: if I have 2 case how can I set the parameter btree_bitmap_plans for only *.
  one of the instances? I found the following code to do this:
  
  ALTER SYSTEM SET "_b_tree_bitmap_plans" = false SCOPE = SPFILE;
  
  but for which the instance parameter will be defined for both or just one? What I have to choose
  one of the instances? How can I do?
  
  Published by: 995273 on 21.03.2013 02:49

  Set oracle_sid = your_db_name

  then, in SQL, use command below

  ALTER SYSTEM SET "_b_tree_bitmap_plans" = false SCOPE = SPFILE;

  Do you have any recommendations for the Support of Oracle to use?

• Cp1252 Txt and other issues

  Hi all, before I tell you: Yes, I've seen other threads

  Version: InDesign CS4, with the latest updates. (it broke down with and without these applied)
  Operating system: XP sp 3, freshly reformatted and updated

  Question: InDesign installs well, updates very well, then after 1-2 use crashes. It serves to plant and require reinstalling for different reasons before reformat, now it just gives: "lack required file cp1252.txt" and need to reinstall.

  -If I try and uninstall in Add/Remove, it is said that it is already uninstalled.
  -If I run the suite cleaner, it says that nothing is there

  -Is adobe still clearly in the files.
  -It is installed on another computer. end (win 7 I think)

  
  Before reformat, it's the liscencing breaking. The same results happened over him now is something else.

  issues related to the:
  -T-32 or 64 bit versions has something to do with it. I don't have a program file (x 86), being an old PC, so everything is in the same place...

  -Is this a conflict with any other adobe products (only other facility other than what was on the CD of indesign is reader and flash plugins for browsers) or is it just a metter of move the files to the location?

  -What is the legality of lighting adobe HQ on fire?

  -Is it just my bad luck, or am I doing part of the only handful of people who run these programs very well on an older computer/OS?

  It's very frustrating, because I sank more than 12 hours last week (most of it on hold) to the Adobe customer service, and now all of a sudden they say they stopped supporting Cs4. GAH! I run a local weekly newspaper, and this is really bumming me out.

  I refuse to spend several hundred dollars on a programme of work perfectly just because it's the DRM to malfunction.

  I fully support your reluctance to upgrade. In addition, it is well known that FlexNet is garbage. FlexNet is the protection of the license for another tool that I use on a daily basis, and so I'm really used to fight with her. It's a nasty piece of work, and part of its Magic (TM), is that when someone tries to remove it illegally (to break the protection license, I mean), it falls badly enough to require a disk format hard until you can get back to work. Which you already know, of course.
