• How can I access files shared numbers App on iPhone numbers? I can access the files from a browser via numbers.

  So, there are a handful of co-workers involved in this issue. We are trying to find out how, if at this point, it is possible to access a file of numbers shared via iPhone and iPad Mini 6.

  We can all see and access this file of numbers shared via a browser on our computers. Trying to find when on a mobile device has proved impossible.  Apple really puts this limitation on the shared files? If so, why?

  As far as I know, the only true collaboration is through the browser.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003

  How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

  Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

  There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

  Transfer files and settings from another PC

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

  If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

  1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
  2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
  3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
  4. Copy the data you want to transfer

  On the Vista Machine:

  • Open a Windows Explorer window,
  • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
  • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

  On the Machine Windows 8:

  • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
  • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
  • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

  Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

  You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

  There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.

  A boot is a way to explore

  It can be caused by a shell extension.

  Explorer (explorer.exe) is the program that is the start menu and taskbar, windows folder and the office (which is a folder window).

  The Explorer is built on addin programs called Extensions of Shell. The standard is provided by Microsoft, but programs add their own.

  • Close Windows Explorer
  • Start Autoruns by right-clicking and choose run as administrator
  • Click on the menu Options - Filter Options and check hide Microsoft entries and disable include empty locations
  • Go to the Explorer tab and uncheck everything to the left.
  • Click Start. Ctrl + Shift + Right-click on an empty spot (just above the power of buttons is one place) then Exit Explorer.
  • Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and choose Task Manager.  Control all processes to explore are closed. On the process tab select explore and right-click and choose end process, repeat if more of an Explorer in the list.
  • Click the file menu and then click new task (run) and enter explorer

  If this can help, reactivate ½ at a time to identify those who. If this does not help, restart AutoRuns and go to the all tab and uncheck everything that it and restart. If this can help, reactivate ½ at a time to identify those who.

• How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive?

  How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive without losing the connection to the files audio orig.?

  Thank you for your time,

  Since no one answered my call, I sat and researched and studied WaveBurner behavior and I can myself answer my question and solve. Since there were a lot of people asking similar questions on WaveBurner files I will post what I learned.

  Whenever you drop your audio files in the list window to make your WaveBurner CD copy not copy your audio files, but relies on the original audio file, where they are located. So whenever you move the files orig. and you open WaveBurner, it can't find those and displays an error window to suggest it will search for the missing file or if you know where he is now lets you find manually. WaveBurner usually place the .wb3 project file that contains everything including your home folder.

  For this reason, I reserve now an audio file WaveBurner also folder in my home folder. In order to save themselves from WaveBurner cannot find the audio file, all audio files that I do, I put in my folder of audio files WaveBurner first, then copy them in WaveBurner from there.

  When I need to use a bigger hard drive I copy .wb3-WaveBurner projects based, but also my

  Sound folder WaveBurner for the home folder on the new hard drive.

  WaveBurner is now all audio files without problem.

  I hope that this will be a unique problem to someone else. Happy WaveBurning.

• How can I download files from HUS and VIP for my Bernina Version 6 software?

  Original title: download embroidery files

  How can I download files from HUS and VIP for my Bernina Version 6 software? Currently, I'm only able to download ART and PES files.

  joydesigns.org (a HUS file extensions) and comcast.net (a VIP file extensions). I get a message that says "windows cannot open this file, use the web or select the program from a list". I downloaded supposed solutions to problems of conversion and lived to regret it. So, I don't know what I can do to download these special files.

  In your original post, you said you wanted to download files to use with your software Bernina HUS and VIP.

  HUS files are Husqvarna Viking embroidery files.   VIP files also are Husqvarna; Here is the Viking/Pfaff home embroidery Format.

  You have reason to believe that your Bernina embroidery software should be able to use the Husqvarna Viking files?

  On the site joydesigns.org, the design of the Dove who has the instructions "Click on the dove to go to the download page for design in .hus format" actually will download a zip compressed file if you click the icon ("FlyingDoleB.zip").  When you click on an image to download the file, you must select the option to save these files in a location that you will remember and then right click and select "extract" all to join the HUS of the file (not all downloads from this Web site are HUS).

  Once you have the file HUS, you right-click, select open with > choose program, then select your Bernina software in the list (or browse to its location in C:\Program Files).  If you check the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" you can double-click on these files in the future.  Of course, it depends on software Bernina being able to recognize the files of HUS.

  VIP files on some comcast getaway site should be handled in the same way.

  Hi mandyXH,

  Step 1:

  You can try to use an external monitor and check if it helps.

  Links:

  Move windows between multiple monitors

  Set up multiple monitors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-up-multiple-monitors

  Step 2:

  Because you have made a new computer and want to move the data to the new machine, you can try to copy files and folders to an external hard drive and then move it to the new machine and see if it works or not.

  Step 3:

  You can also use the easy transfer cable easy to move files and settings from one operating system to another operating system.
