• How can I change the update settings or attempts?

  Almost everytime I turn on my comp. it tries to update and fails. I just want to stop all attempts at the moment.

  Hi Debra,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  (a) you did it any significant hardware or changes to software on the computer before this problem?

  (b) what is the exact error message you get when installing update fails?

  The question may arise if the Windows downloaded update packages are corrupt. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  Try to run that Windows update utility provided in the following link.

  Problems with installing updates

  Try to install the updates after running the troubleshooter.

  If the problem persists, try the following method.

  Method 2:

  I suggest you use Deployment Image Servicing and Management for fix Windows Update errors.

  (a) open an elevated command prompt. To do this, press the Windows key + Q and type in CMD right click on command prompt in the list and select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

  (b) type the following commands. Press enter after each command

  • DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  • DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

  (c) close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.

  Check if the problem persists.

  Hi imoffshore,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

  ·         When was the last time it worked?

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

  ·         You get the error message?

  When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

  1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
  2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
  3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

  The options available for automatic updates.

  You must make some changes in the windows registry.

  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  Hi, Romulo,

  This question should be validated in the Internet Explorer Forum.  Note the drop-down menus.

  What sites you encounter the problem with?

  Make sure flash player is the current version

  http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/

  Check Shockwave player is the current version

  Check the Java version

  You check the internet connection

  If you are experiencing network connectivity problems in Internet Explorer, the first thing to do is to make sure that all cables are connected. Then open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair (if you use Windows Vista) or solve problems (if you use Windows 7).

  If the problem persists, see the following articles:

  How can I change the color of the background of the window? When I create a new document in indesign sometimes the blackground is white, sometimes black or grey and I move forward without knowing why. Thanks for help.

  Ah.

  I've never thought about changing the default is gray for preview, but you can set a different color for the background in preview mode by going into the Guides and pasteboard section of downtown and choose another color from the menu drop-down history. As most of the prefs, if you do this with a file is open, it affects only the current file (and change a file that has a different color, you will need to do one at a time), if you do not open files it will be the default for all new files.

• ICloud Keychain how can I change the phone number needed to verify the code text for me? The number it was sent is an old phone number of my friends that I do not have access to the.

  ICloud Keychain how can I change the phone number needed to verify the code text for me? The number it was sent is an old phone number of my friends that I do not have access to the.

  Try this from another thread I saw.

  On iOS, go to settings > iCloud > keychain and tap button to disable iCloud keychain. (you will be asked to delete or keep the passwords on device) I chose to delete...

  Then turn it back on, and pop - up chose reset iCloud trousseau, on a chosen pop-up confirmation reset

  In the new window pop up use iPhone password like iCloud cryptogram? has chosen the use code

  Enter your secret code (4 digits) then choose country and your new phone number

  Although, to "Restore the iCloud Keychain," I took to erase the data and essentially set up a new keychain.  Not the case.  Strangely, after essentially bypassing the security system, setting a new password and verification number, I see my cards, passwords and other data have been restored.  Maybe it's all the iCloud account and this master password.  Or maybe it's a bug.  With Apple, we'll never know.

  How can I change the amount of time before a call to voicemail?

  -alex-

  You will need to contact your carrier and see if they can change. There is no setting on the phone, only the owner can modify it, if they can. Not all carriers cannot change, and even if they can, it's a very short period. This has to do with the configuration of the call. At least you know that it's all the time and not the number of ringtones.
