  • I deleted the pictures twice in iPhotos and iCloud. The photos have been removed from books I've done this year.

    I do a book every year for my mother.  I did five or six, and this year was the only time that I had no problem.  I had duplicate an image to use it a second time in the book.  The book is very good.  It is listed under projects and saved in pdf format. After that I bought a book (by means of projects) for each Member of the family, I settled remove all duplicates created in iPhoto and stored on the cloud.  I deleted all but one of each photo (in some cases, there was 8-12 duplicates!)    When I went back to work in the projects, the pictures were also removed it.  They are always correct in the PDF but I can't buy a book through this version.  I start two books and you're wondering how to avoid any duplicates with these books.  It wasn't the situation of last year.

    iPhoto stores nothing in the cloud, do you mean the new Photos.app?

  • Until a few days ago I was able to print a PDF from Acrobat Reader ms in Windows 7.  Now I get "the document could not be printed."  The next panel says "there are no pages selected to print," even if all the pages have been selected.  Thoughts?

    Until a few days ago I was able to print a PDF from Acrobat Reader ms in Windows 7.  Now I get "the document could not be printed."  The next panel says "there are no pages selected to print," even if all the pages have been selected.  I've uninstalled Reader and reinstalled, but the problem remains.  I also tried to repair the installation and that doesn't work anymore.

    Thanks for the tip.  It turned out that kind Reader has been commissioning in protected mode.  I changed the setting and it prints now as before.

  • 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.

  • Photo Gallery-tags used for photos of the Windows remain even if the photos have been removed

    Tags used for photos stay in the computer even if the photos have been removed.  The remaining tags in UNROLLING in the space where you can enter a tag are no longer relevant and are just a nuisance.

    After Renaming Pictures.pd4 you will need to re-catalogue
    your photos and some tags may be lost. If the name change
    Pictures.PD4 does not solve the problem... you can delete
    the new Pictures.pd4 file and change the name of the
    origin to Pictures.pd4 and the catalog file should
    be restored.

    In later versions of Windows Live Photo Gallery...
    the name of the file is Pictures.pd5.

  • I'm trying to redeploy Adobe Acrobat Standard DC to my users, because the licenses have been removed by mistake; they have up-to-date copies on their computers desktop and I got more licenses for each of them. My question is that each user will have to go

    I'm trying to redeploy Adobe Acrobat Standard DC to my users, because the licenses have been removed by mistake; they have up-to-date copies on their computers desktop and I got more licenses for each of them.

    My question is that each user will have to go through another download and installation of the product?

    I don't think. I guess that they would be required to sign in or provide the number you gave them. Acrobat would continue as a trial until they click on "license this software ' or see help > Sign In.

  • I asked firefox to block an image on my blog, but firefox has blocked all images on the blog, there are no images in posts, pages, the theme, each image have been removed from the blog. Is it possible to restore the images.

    Hi, I was working on my wordpress blog that uses the theme "Intrepidity". I wanted to remove a header image I added to the header but could not find a way to remove, so I click right for an option. the option I took was "do you want firefox to block the image? I clicked Yes, and this is the last time I saw a picture on the blog. Firefox has deleted all the images in the blog, even the side bars are gone, the header is not more, every single photo on the post, pages disappeared. The blog is just a shell now. Is there a way I could have restored the blog images. This is the name of the blog:
    http://www.weightlosscontrolreviews.com/

    With the display site, click the site identity button (for more details about what it is to see the How do I know if my connection to a Web site is secure? article), and then click more information. This will open the page info dialog box.

    First, select the permissions tab, make sure that 'Load the Images' is set to allow (default selection should work as well)

    Then select the media tab, and then click the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll the list. If any element has the option 'Images of block of (field name)' selected, deselect the option.

    This should hopefully solve your problem, but see also the problems that cause to not show images.

    Some add-ons can also block images, for example, if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block images.

  • Find files on the data store that have been removed from inventory, but not deleted from the disk

    I have ESXi 4.1 and with vSphere Client to manage virtual machines.

    Some of my users continue to use the 'remove from inventory"rather than the option" remove disc "in vSphere when they want to delete the virtual machine.

    This leaves the computer virtual on the data store but not used. I have since removed this privilege among the offending users but I need to do a bit of cleaning.

    I have a lot of files on the data store where users have done this in recent years. Probably about 150 records but only 80 VM listed in the inventory.

    Is there a way I can output, a report showing the data of each machine store directory in inventory so that I can remove anything not on this list? ID rather not to manually check the parameters of all 80 VM in the inventory.

    Out ideal would be something like:

    MyVmNameHere 1, \MyVmDirectoryHere1\ [DataStore1]

    MyVmNameHere2, \MyVmDirectoryHere2\ [DataStore1]

    A great tool to discover all this and much more is RVTools

  • Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

    My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

    is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

    If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

    If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

    I went through my computer to clear the history, what I have done before and ALL my favorites have disappeared. I can't seem to find anyway and I want to know if/how to get back them.

    What method did you use to remove your browsing history?

    Firefox instant guard of your bookmarks over time so that you can restore to an earlier date. You can try the procedure of recovery described in this article and see if Firefox lists all earlier dates you can choose: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  • Somehow, word, excel and powerpoint have been REMOVED from my office

    Okay, I don't know how - but the entire programming of word, powerpoint and excel have all were removed from my office. And no, I'm not kidding. And no, I'm not stupid; I don't really know how it happened.
    I was looking at the different programs installed on my desk, left for a while and when I came back, I couldn't open any documents. After a further inspection, I realized that all of the above programs are gone.
    I am very serious here and I hope that someone can help me. Is it possible that alright are still there on the hard drive and / or somewhere and can be put back? Please help me; I would be very grateful. Thank you.

    Double click on 'My Computer', the window will show you the different readers installed on your pc. Double-click the disk Local (c) under the title of hard drives and a window will open showing you the folders and files on that drive. Click on the search button, select all files and folders to search for and type Excel.exe in the "all or part of the name of the file:" box. Click on the button Search & see if it happens.
    Repeat for Winword.exe and Powerpnt.exe.

    If the search finds them, note their location - which will probably be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office * (where * can be a number).

  • The tutorial has been removed from Vista?

    Windows 95 - XP were all a sort of tour that introduced the basic concepts, but I'll be darn if I can find it in Windows 7 or Vista.

    In Windows 95, according to me, they called him "Getting started with Windows 95", in ' 98, it's "Discover Windows 98", XP was 'Turn Windows XP'. "."

    Is there an equivalent in Vista and 7 who can can I point a relatively old to examine the _basic_ things like switch from windows using the taskbar, expansion of the size of a window by dragging the edges, maximize and minimize, etc.?

    I looked around my own Vista system, and I'll be darn if I can find such a thing. Admittedly, I haven't lived it myself since Windows 95, but I don't check that it existed in XP. Heck, even in Win95 I jumped through a lot because it was a scam of Apple, and I learned a lot of these 'Your visit to the Apple IIGS' skills on 88.

    Where would it installed by default, and could I have uninstalled? If so, what would be use to reinstall? I don't see anything under "turn on or off windows features" and there is more no 'Add/Remove windows components.

    I have provided links. If all goes well, they can help.
