    I don't know what I clicked at all initially, but now, most of my programs have been converted to open it with Windows Media Player, so that they cannot work.

  • I managed to spill water on my MacBook Pro, Apple will know if I open just to check if the sensor LCI (water) have been activated? And if they somehow, this void my warranty?

    Today, I spilled a glass of water and it went all over my MacBook Pro keyboard. The laptop is less than a month. I did everything what is recommended - I turned off and returned upside down now and just do it sit down u with ventilation and a fan just next door. If I open it in a few days to see if sensors of water have been activated, this will automatically cancel my warranty even if they are not. I read that sometimes they get activated, so I would check.

    Water + computer means generally computer died.

    Turn the power off.  Leave it unplugged.  Find your backup.

    Let the Genius Bar to determine how much damage has been done.

    As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared.

    For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.

    To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:

    Menu help > about Firefox

    To update your Adobe PDF and Shockwave Flash plugins and check for other obsolete plugins, you can use this page:

    I know it's tedious, but don't let slip too long or you might get up to have to rebuild everything (the curse of your lack of backups, and if you do regular backups).

  • A few days, I bought a mac mini which I transferred the data and programs with time machine: programs have been updated except for iMovie, and now it seems that I have to pay for the update: possible? What I am doing wrong?

    A few days ago, I bought a mac mini and I transferred all my data and programs with time machine: all programs have been updated but iMovie (7.1.4)... However, it seems that, to update to the latest version, I have to pay to download on Appstore: is it possible? what I am doing wrong?

    If it were a new mac mini, you need already installed 10.1 iMovie.  Otherwise, but you already have iMovie 9 registered version to your Apple ID, you can upgrade to version 10 for free, but if (as it appears) is an earlier version then you have to buy version 10.

    1 Dell Inspiron laptop, was on Vista,

    I was so frustrated I took out the hard drive, its Where abouts unknown, haha. I had just taken it recently because I had messed up all my other PCs taking control over my other, making them unusable without having to reinstall. I'm waiting to do this, after all is fixed incase I am able to prosecute and use them as evidence. In one day the Inspiron has been compromised. I was able to get my HP and going, trying to do what I can, but then this MICROSOFT DEVICE has been installed, without my consent.  I understand why this product is useful for the most part, but why is it so easy for someone to install it without consent?

    Hello Matysh,

    In addition to the information already provided, I add some guidelines that might help with your question.

    1) go into user accounts on your computer. You can have administrator and standard accounts listed. Make sure that you have an administrator account that you created and change the password if you are the only person who knows the password.
    Then, remove all the accounts that you are not familiar with or don't want on your computer. Do not remove a network Service or Local Service account.

    (2) right click on the taskbar and open the tasks to the top manager. Go to the users tab. There you can see if there are other users logged on to your computer. If you are not familiar with users, select the account and disconnect the user.

    (3) get your computer course before you go out on the internet.
    If you use wireless, make sure that you use the most secure authentication type.
    Change the passwords on routers as most ships with a password. Change the router password so that no one else has the password. Check with the documentation for the router on how to change your password.

    (4) use the antivirus and malware information and make sure that your computer is free of viruses and malware before connect you to the internet.

    I hope this helps.

  • How findout if all the partitions have been deleted and now a laptop that has Windows 8 operating system using Windows Vista with a shell IE 9?

    I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.

    When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.

    When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Start > type CMD

    Right click on CMD and select run as administrator

    Type diskmgmt.msc

    Press enter

    This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system

    Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend?  Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?

    http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition

    Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system.  To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.

    To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig

    Click on the Startup tab

    You see two operating systems listed?  Windows 8, Windows Vista

    http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/

    I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions

    400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)

    • 300 MB EFI System Partition
    • 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
    • 17 GB Partition Recovery
    • 220 GB of Partition primary

    Windows Vista has drive C and drive D

    Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

    Hi GhettoBoy,

    How do you delete user accounts? Is it just C:\Dosument and settings users or accounts under the control panel? If you don't want to keep all these account data, you can try to delete the profile of click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> Advanced-> user profile and select the profile and remove. Also check under 'User accounts' in the control panel to remove the names of users.

  • Installation of blackBerry Smartphones cannot continue, because not all OS requirements have been met. Please upgrade to 10.6.0 or later.

    Hello

    Recently, I injured my 9700's screen "BOLD" from blackberry to the point where it was cheaper to buy a new one, so I did and that you bought a new blackberry curve 9320. Now I need to sync my old bb "BOLD" for my mac so I can get all my old in my new bb curve information, because without it I have no information because it is stored on my bb bold and I never the saved... but I still get this error message:

    Setup cannot continue, because not all OS requirements have been met. Please upgrade to 10.6.0 or later.

    I don't know where to find this version that I downloaed later on the blackberry site. If not, how can I get my information off my old bb "BOLD" on my mac, then in my new curve bb...

    If someone wonderful can come to my rescue?

    Thanking you in advance

    Yes, OK, now I see your problem... I didn't know that your screen has been damaged at this point.

    You get this message because the current version of the "BB Desktop Manager" software claims a newer MAC OS on your machine!

    Can't upgrade you your Mac OS to the newest? Generally, these improvements are very good markets in the Mac world.

    That would allow you to install the software and then (hopefully) make a backup of your machine (blindly?) and therefore to restore the data on your new device!

    So my advice would be to upgrade your Mac operating system. The other reason to do it, is that previous versions of the software BBDM are very difficult (does not say impossible) to find on the internet.

    Good luck and we keep abreast
