  • How can I get Safari working again?

    I've just updated my software yesterday (like being invited for a very long time) and today the 9.1.1 safari (OSX 10.9.5) repeatedly crashes on my iMac. This never happened before yesterday. I've been reluctant to update because I thought that I should upgrade to El Capitan at the same time and had heard some bad reviews about matters of iPhoto on El Capitan. Finally, I've updated without the upgrade. Now, I get constant messages ' content Web Safari unexpectedly quit ' how can I Safari works again without upgrading to El Capitan? Here is a screenshot of what happens when I check what has been updated. I'm lost!

    Force Quit Safari (command + option + ESC keys). Then restart the SHIFT key now.

    If that doesn't fix it, download and runMalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our colleagues here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.

    EDIT: You wrote: I've updated without upgrading

    It is not possible. Please check the Apple menu > about this Mac to see what OS X version you are using and the Safari menu > on Safari to check the version.

  • You are using windows 7, how can I get my Officejet Pro K8600 print on paper 13 x 19?

    I bought a laptop with Windows 7. Now I can't get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print correctly on paper 13 x 19. It prints on paper 13 x 19, but everything is 8.5 x 11 in size. I click on print, click Properties, change the Super B 13 x 19 paper, press ok, watch box paper 13 x 19 with images by filling out the document, I click ok to print and it prints the image 8.5 x 11 in size on paper 13 x 19 rather than fill the paper 13 x 19. I did not have this problem (and still haven't) with my old laptop with XP. It is the operating system or is it a bad setting in the properties? I tried to compare the property settings in both computers, but I can't find any differences. I don't think it's the driver... Please help!

    Hello HW,.

    Try this: go to devices and printers and right click on the of K8600 Officejet Pro and click on printer properties. Go to the Advanced tab and click on the button called Print Processor. Select Winprint. Try another print and see if it works now. If you still see the same question to see if there is an option of scaling in the print dialog in the application you are printing from.

    The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

    If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

  • I don't have windows recovery, how do I get it?

    Original title: my komputer.

    I don't have windows recovery, how do I get it? my computer is ACER Aspire 6920, thank you,

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you won't be hace a recovery Partition

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
    3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
    4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
    5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
    6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
    7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
