Ensure the upgrade of 10.2.0.4

• Photos for Mac behaves VERY strangely since the upgrade to Sierra

  Hi all.

  I have improved my mid 2010 MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra September 21.

  The first time I launched the Photos app after the upgrade, I got the usual message on photo library updated, but when that reaches 100%, I noticed that he was missing a large number of thumbnails in my library. The photos in question were display in miniature (or 'moments') view as pale gray rectangles with a cloud icon in their breast.

  I don't immediately panic, because I assumed that they would gradually repopulate for a little while. I got "Storage optimize Mac", the value of preferences so all of my original pictures must be in iCloud. I have a Time Capsule, make automatic backups, and I made a backup Time Machine on which, immediately before the upgrade, so I am reasonably confident that I did not really lose my photos, (and all of my pictures and their thumbnails are present & correct on my iPhone).

  But, almost a fortnight after the upgrade, most of my thumb nails is always reported missing since the Photos of Mac application, which makes it very difficult to find pictures of course.

  Last night I noticed that the Photos app showed 'Uploading photos 10 985 nnnnnn' at the foot of the view of the times, with the first digit decreases slowly, so I disabled the options to ensure that my Mac doesn't go to sleep and I let it run until the download was complete energy saving. Then, he showed "updated... "at the foot of the view of the times for a while.

  I was hoping that my thumb nail would be back after that, but they are not!

  It seems that the Photos app is not sync with my iCloud storage, for any reason, or at least if it does not in fact what it has synchronized.

  A double click on these thumbnails blank to open the photo is not consistent either. On some that I try to open, they do not open, and when I return to the thumbnail display the thumbnail is now also. But on others I try to open I just see a completely white area where the photo should be. However (and this is really weird!) when I return to the thumbnail display after those I see very very briefly the photos as they will shrink to the size of the thumbnail, and then they are virgins thumbnails with clouds still...

  I wonder if I should change the preference of Photos of 'optimization of storage' to 'download the originals' in an effort to recover my thumb nails. It seems that I have almost 62 GB of free space on my Mac, and my Gallery of photos shows that there are currently 31GB. Or do I have to re - install the Photos app? (Is it possible?)

  Or is there a better solution to the problem please?

  Thank you for all the helpful tips.

• A Web site cannot be displayed more after the upgrade to version 14.01

  I use www.kpnvandaag.nl as a homepage. After the upgrade to version 14.01 this site and only this site will show no more. When go to this page, an error is displayed that says, translated freely: there is an error.
  This page cannot be displayed.

  What is a Web site or Firefox (or other causes) error?

  You may also need to check the settings I n your security software (Norton) to ensure that nothing is blocked.

• After the upgrade to v10 folders appear, but nothing happens when I click on the folder

  I organize my favorites in all 7 or 8 files. After the upgrade to Firefox v10 a few days ago, I find that the records are still on the list but that it will be will not develop. When I open the bookmarks library and select a record, he mentions the description of sites, but no URL. I tried to restore bookmarks in before the upgrade, but I get message "cannot process the backup file. Fortunately, I also store my favorites in MS OneNote, but I don't want want to re-create if I am likely to lose them again. I also installed the Norton toolbar.

  By adopting a belt and Suspenders approach allows first of all make sure you have everything backed up. Have several copies, is the best way to ensure you have the most relevant and the most recent available.

  • manual backups of existing bookmarks and this BEFORE and after any attempt of restoration, know that restorations replace existing bookmmarks
    • See restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer
  • Make a copy of your profile and put somewhere safe, outside the program paths and the firefox profile (Windows desktop is somewhere appropriate) include all subfolders and files (including copies of backup of bookmarks and bookmarks database itself)
    • See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

  I have not personally noticed reported problems specific to the Firefox 10 updates causing problems with bookmarks. Maybe a few extension you have involved, but whatever the cause you could now have corrupted or old installed bookmarks. If it's a - problem, you can restore your bookarks ok, but if a problem persists, you will need to continue the investigation. If you continue to say daily manual backups that you know that the worst cases, is that you lose only part of a days bookmarking.

• HP Stream 13: Beware of the upgrade to Windows 10

  I have just told me that in Hp Support the HP 13 Stream is not recommended for the upgrade to Windows 10 due to the lack of space and memory for this new operating system.

  I thought it would be interesting as well as alarming to soemwhat.

  This occurred after I contacted them for help and a solution to a failed update of the ' Intel dynamic and thermal Framework Client Driver SP 72416.  As a result, I did a sfc and dism scan to check the status of the file system and the final result are reports of corrupted files and source files could not be found.

  I should add that at the moment windows 10 works very well on my stream and a recent update of Windows loaded and installed ok. I currently 11.5 GB of free space on the C drive.

  HP support recommend reinstalling windows 8.1 provided to ensure a workbook entirely for the present and the future, because they anticipate the future updates and developments with Windows 10 is likely to produce more problems with the stream.

  Now this threw me after all the recommendations pushes and apparent and challenges for the upgrade of this small notebook with 10 Windows. I'll hold fire for now with other changes, while I go over what to do next.

  Someone at - it something to add?

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium: Tray Lock worked until the upgrade of Windows 10

  Since a year now, I have 1 locked drawer for our book of receipt only, easier than all the other printing set to automatically select the default tray to tray 2 (Tray 1 is locked and all)! But I tried the upgrade of Windows 10, that was an epic fail and my cpomputer was sent to the doctor for the day. When I came back I had to basically start over with a new computer. I have everything back to be better than before, but THIS problem! Receipts in Tray 1 and my payment software its configured for Tray 1 specifically for receipts. All other default things that select and always tray 2. I can't anything out of tray 1. HOWEVER, my boss's computer is on a network with it and when it prints a receipt from his computer he properly dispences Tray 1. Yet.

  Help! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

  Lacey!

  Hi @L2thaJ,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you are unable to print correctly on tray 1 on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-all-in-one printer. I will definitely do my best to help you.

  Is the other computer Windows 10 institutions, who works for printing on tray 1?

  It looks like Windows 10 and the software you are using does not work with the printer driver, what might happen.

  You are able to print to Tray 1, when printing from MS Word or Notepad?

  Please ensure that you use the latest printer driver for your printer.

  Download and run The printer Installation Wizard. The HP printer installation wizard detects automatically the best print available for your HP printer driver. It is only available for Windows 7, 8 and 10.

  Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

• The upgrade with an SSD

  I plan on migration to an SSD soon. After the upgrade SSD will appear as drive E:? If so, how can I change the C: drive SSD? I use a computer house built, based on the motherboard ASUS P5K - E. The processor is Intel E8400 3.0 GHz. I have 2 GB of RAM. Please ask me for more details if you need it. Thank you!

  If I understand you correctly, you want to change your system so that the first disc (the one where Windows is installed, as well as all your programs) is a new SSD.

  Assuming that the new SSD is at least as large as your current system (c) partition and assuming that there are no other partitions on your current hard drive more (I assume that your current D: is a CD or DVD drive) the right way to achieve your goal would be to do the following:

  • Clone the current C: drive on the SSD drive (preferably, but not necessarily, in an external USB enclosure)
  • Turn off computer
  • Remove the existing computer C: drive
  • Physically install the SSD to the computer (for example, out of the outer shell)
  • Turn on the computer and restart
  • At this point, you can stop (a) or (b) install the old hard drive as a second internal drive or (c) put the old hard drive in the external box.  For one of the last two options, you can use the old hard drive for backup.  I would hold off the coast on the restructuring of the old hard drive for at least a few weeks until you are sure that all cloned correctly.

  If you are not using an external enclosure during the cloning operation (for example, you install the SSD as a secondary internal drive), you MUST shut down the computer WITHOUT REBOOTING and remove the original hard disk before rebooting.  (See, however, notes Anna me at the end of this response.)

  If you want to have the two former players and new internally, be sure to log in using the appropriate connector and set the jumpers to ensure that the SSD is considered to be the main or the "master" drive

  Cloning software

  If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  XXClone

  Macrium Reflect free
  What follows is a very old post of 'Anna' in the Microsoft support newsgroups (the predecessor of "Microsoft Answers", which, in turn, was the predecessor of the current "Microsoft Community."  I edited the message refer only to cloning, rather than "Disc imaging" as well (another method of backup not useful in your situation). Although some details have changed with the new versions of the software, it is always interesting to read:

  Detailed instructions for the use of Acronis True Image leprogramme to clone a hard drive

  Within the framework either of these two backup & recovery process, you are
  dealing with two hard drives - source & destination records say.
  the source is the HARD disk drive you want to save and the destination disk
  is the HARD disk that will be the recipient of the cloned content of the
  source disc or the recipient of the disk image that you create.

  When you use both methods, it is usually best for most users to use a
  drive external HARD as the disk of destination, i.e. the recipient of the cloned
  content of the source diskette or the recipient of the disk image created. This

  
  can be either a USB or Firewire cable or external SATA HARD drive. While the other internal
  HARD drive can also serve as the destination disk, that there is an additional element
  safety in the use of an external HARD drive because this player will normally be
  disconnected the system except for the cloning disk or recovery
  process.

  Here are the step by step instructions for
  by using the Acronis True Image 9 program to clone the content of a HARD disk to
  external HARD disk. (The steps are essentially the same using the latest ATI 10)
  (version):

  1. with two hard drives (source & destination disks) connected, start.
  Ensure that no other storage device, for example, flash drives, ZIP drives, etc.,.
  are connected. It is also probably a good idea to close all programs, you
  may have to work in the shadow - including any antivirus antispyware
  programs - before this disk-to-disk cloning operation.

  2. access to the Acronis True Image 9 program, under "Pick a task", click
  on 'Clone disk '. (In version 10 of ATI, click "manage hard disks" in the)
  "Choose a tool" box, and on the next screen click 'Clone disk').

  3. in the next window "Welcome to the Disk Clone Wizard!", click Next.

  4. in the next window of the "Clone" Mode to select the automatic option (it should
  be the default option selected) and click Next.

  5. on the next window of 'hard drive' Source, ensure that good source
  HDD (disk you duplicate of) was selected (highlight).
  Click Next.

  6. on the next window of 'hard disk of Destination', ensure that good
  destination of HDD (disk you duplicate to) has been selected (even once, click
  to highlight). Click Next.

  7. in the next window, select the option "delete partitions on the.
  destination hard disk. Understand that all data currently on the disk which
  will be that the recipient of the clone will be removed before the disk cloning
  operation. Click Next.

  8. the next window will reflect the disc source and destination. Once again
  confirm that the correct commands have been selected. Click Next.

  9. on the next window, click on the button continue. A message box appears
  which indicates that a restart will be required to undertake the drive cloning
  operation. Click on restart.

  10. the cloning operation will pronounce on reboot. With modern
  components and a medium to high power processor, data transfer rate will
  be in the range of approximately 450 MB/min at 800 MB/min during cloning to
  an external USB HARD disk. much faster when cloning to another internal
  HARD DRIVE.

  11. when the cloning operation has been completed, a message
  indicating the disk cloning process was a success, and ask you to
  Shut down the computer by pressing any key. Do it and unplug your USB
  external HARD disk.

  If, however, the destination drive was another * internal * HARD drive, see the
  NOTE below.

  12 note that cloned content now residing on the external USB HARD drive take
  on the file system of the source drive. For example, if before the
  disk cloning operation your USB external HDD was formatted FAT32 and
  your XP operating system has been formatted to NTFS, the cloned content will be formatted in NTFS.
  There is no need to format the USB external HARD disk before the disk cloning
  operation. Similarly, it is not necessary before the operation of disk cloning
  to format a drive HARD internal if use you a drive HARD internal as the
  destination drive.

  13. the system restore can be performed by cloning the content of the
  data from the external DRIVE for a normal HARD internal disk drive
  process of cloning such drive as described above.

  NOTE: Just another point which should be emphasized with regard the
  the recipient of the clone disk cloning operation would be an another intern
  HARD drive and not a USB cable or Firewire external HARD disk. Immediately after the disk
  cloning of the machine must be decommissioned and the source that HARD drive should
  be disconnected. Boot ONLY on newly cloned drive. CAN I NOT BOOT
  IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OPERATION OF CLONING WITH TWO CONNECTED DRIVES.
  It is quite possible that in doing so, it is likely to cause future
  starting with the cloned disk problems. Of course there is no problem in this
  area should be a port USB or Firewire EHD be the beneficiary of the clone since
  device is not usually bootable in an XP environment.

  **************************************************************************************************

  LEM:

  As you may know not my previous posts about this issue of cloning/disk-image disk, I am rather partisan passionate about Casper 6 - disk cloning program and highly recommend this comprehensive program for most PC users as a backup tool. (I recognize that this is probably of little interest to the OP because I guess it is concerned primarily or exclusively with cloning just the content of its failure (apparently) HARD drive to a newer HARD disk. And it seems that it may have other problems as well!)

  The reason for this post is in my "NOTE" (quoted above) caveat regarding the sea program. I wanted to mention that one of the main reasons we prefer program Casper to other disk cloning programs (for example, the Acronis one) is that, unlike these other programs Casper completely avoids this potential problem I did reference.

  During the two years since we started working with the Casper drive cloning program we had done (or were involved with) hundreds of disk cloning operations, involving a wide variety of PC brands/models, hard disks (both PATA & SATA), etc. During this time, we have never met a * single * instance of the problem raised. IE a user could clone the contents of his HARD 'source' to another disc * internal * HARD drive and would not (possible) later problem affecting the ability to start the (cloned) destination HARD disk even when the system was booted to the HARD drive with the cloned HARD disk connected source * immediately * after the disk cloning operation.

  Under this scenario the cloned HDD would be obviously treated as a HARD secondary, a drive letter assignment drive of (obviously) other than C:. However, the source disk HARD later disconnect so that would imply the boot * only * the newly cloned HARD drive, this drive would start without incident and be granted the 'normal' C: drive letter assignment.

  In addition, two hard drives must be connected in the system and the user changes the BIOS boot priority setting to accommodate a first start at the cloned disk as HDD will start without incident. And, of course, the ancient source THAT HDD would be then treated by the system as a secondary as HDD should in these circumstances.

  And if the user decides to start at the disk of origin at a later time (for some reason any), the boot of this player would normally occur.

  I thought that the information above might be interesting for you & others.

• Computer froze during the upgrade/installation of windows xp

  I have windows xp home edition on a Dell desktop computer. I had problems with the computer freezing and then lost the connection to the internet 3 days ago. So I decided to reinstall windows xp from cd. However, I have chosen upgrade, rather than new install (because it was the suggested method). Now my computer will not complete the upgrade but is frozen during the installation. It remains to 32 minutes until the end. I can't seem to start, can't control/alt/delete or whatever it is. If I unplug my computer and launch it then again once, it resumes where it left off. How can I break out of this loop and start over with a fresh install? Thank you.

  OK, it would have been better to have all the information on this machine in one place. I guess your question in the other post you made about activation is for the same computer? If this is correct, then the information I gave you in your previous post is not applicable.

  With Dell computers, using Dell reinstallation media, you don't need to enter a product key during installation and the operating system is already activated.

  If you use a different XP installation disc that was not provided by Dell, this is why you are experiencing activation problems. If you do not have a Dell brand installation CD, you will need to use a manufacturer OEM generic system disk and use the product key on the label of CA certificate on your computer. If you use a copy of XP retail, you would use the product key on the CD to copy the retail case. In the case of the generic OEM drive, it must be the same version of XP that came with your computer (Home/Pro/MCE).

  All that being said, your sound of questions as a material. Did you leave all devices attached during the repair facility? If so, this can also cause the problem. Unplug everything except (obviously) your mouse and your keyboard when doing an operating system install. You should ensure that the material is solid before attempting to install again.

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

  Understand that all your data will be lost. If you save before, try to start with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix and copy the files to an external hard drive. Then download a utility from drive to drive mftr site. or use a third-party (Acronis Disk Director, Knoppix gparted) start Disk Manager to delete partitions on your hard drive and format the drive.

  Now, do a clean install of Windows, preferably using a Dell XP installation CD. Install Dell drivers for all your hardware when you're done, restore data from backups. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems
   
  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
   
  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  -------------------

  The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems

  -HP use F9 on most of its systems

  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems

  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12

  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

• I don't sound stupid, but I'm going to lose all my files, games or whatever it is, with the upgrade?

  I don't sound stupid, but I'm going to lose all my files, games or whatever it is, with the upgrade?

  By 'upgrade', what you're speaking of?

  Windows 8 for Windows 8.1?

  Windows 8.1 for Windows 10?

  In any case, you * don't *-however, something can and probably will happen not doing a full image backup just before changing throughout the operating system would be, at best, careless.

  Also - if you mean Windows 8.1 for Windows 10: do not trust a single scan or test to tell you whether or not the upgrade will be successful.  You should check with the manufacturer of each product (hardware and software) to ensure that support them (the real manufacturers of real products in question) is in place for the newer operating system.
