• Faulty graphics card

  Hello, I have a mid 2010 21.5 (MC508LL/A) imac that has a bad graphics card. I've had this confirmed by an authorized Apple repair shop. I got an estimate of $643,00 for the repair, which I can't do right now. I heard that you can connect a second monitor to the Mac if you want to run two monitors at the same time. My question is, if I can buy the correct cable to connect another monitor and use this monitor as my primary monitor until I can afford the repair, or the graphics card in the Mac should it be good to run the second monitor? I'm not very tech savvy, so I hope that this question seems not too ridiculous!

  Thanks in advance for any input.

  The graphics card must be in good shape to run an external display. Once you have the repair done, then you can connect an external monitor.

• Upgrade to Windows 10 from 8.1 to Bootcamp

  Hello

  I recently installed windows 8.1 on my macbook pro 15 retina using bootcamp. I have now an iso upgrade windows 10 on a USB and a product key. IM wondering now how the upgrade. Can I do it through the windows partition, or on the side of OS X using bootcamp? Also, if I do it through side windows, making the risk of having the upgrade wipe the OS X partition or will it stay within the windows partition? Mind you, I'm not very tech savvy, please use as many details as possible.

  Thank you

• Storage issues

  I have a Mac Book Pro. recently, he said that I ran out of storage. When I investigated further my lap top told me that I have almost 80 GB of movies.

  I went threw all the files on my mac and deleted everything related to film and it made no difference.

  I think that it is more than likely a hardware problem, but I'm not very tech savvy. any ideas?

• Some emails received come with attachments that are just icons such as facebook or company logo. How to stop these please?

  E-mail messages can have attachments (such as documents) that I don't want to receive. But there are also a lot of attachments that seem to be icons of logo. Include specific company logo, facebook, twitter etc. I'm afraid that they add to the demand for storage and will also effect the speed of loading of emails. I would like to stop the logos / icons but still receive the documents that the sender wants me to have. If you can hep do me this, I would be happy.
  Thank you.
  Please keep in mind, I'm not very tech savvy.

  The icons have been added as part of the e-mail. You cannot change what someone else puts in their e-mail.

  If you already have the setting for not showing remote content then you should not see the icons in the content of the e-mail, but you will see empty boxes with a broken link icon, where the icons were positioned.
  This has no effect on the reading of the attachments.

  You can use one of the methods is to read these messages using plain text instead of HTML.

  • View > Message body as > plain text

  If you mean there several icons are added as attachments - no content - more the actual document you want to read.
  Do not use the option "Open" or "Save all" for very obvious reasons.
  Instead, right-click on the attached document you want to read and select 'Open' or ' Save as '.

  All attachments can be removed or detached.
  If you want to keep the email, but do not keep the attachments, you can right click on an attachment and select 'delete '.

  If you want to keep the email and attachments, but not an attachment with email because it uses a lot of space, you can right-click on a file and select "unpin". This will allow you to save the document to another location outside of Thunderbird attachment.
  In its place will be a link, so you can still use the "attachment" link to open the document, but because he is no longer with the email, it will reduce the size of the email and to provide more space in the folder.

  If you want to keep the attachment, but not the e-mail, do as shown above to "detach" and save the document, and then delete the email.

• New want for new Mac Apple ID

  I'll try to make it simple.

  I currently own a MacBook Pro bought in late 2011. I have an Apple I used with this one ID and my current iPhone.

  Today, I bought a MacBook Air, brand new. The main reason I bought a new Mac is having a totally fresh workspace without all the clutter that is located on the old Mac. When I created my new Mac I used my Apple ID, and it was a mistake. I'm not very tech savvy and I just didn't know that he would have ALL SYNC. So now all the echoes of my old MacBook Pro are on my new MacBook Air (at least the part of Safari and it migrates about 162 pictures of my old cloud on my new Mac).

  It is the OPPOSITE of what I want.

  So what I want to know is: How can I wipe my old Apple ID of this new Mac and just start over with a new Apple ID just for the new Mac?

  I want to KEEP my old Apple ID for my old Mac, iTunes and my iPhone.

  I understand that by using a new Apple ID with my new Mac than all my Apple products will not be synchronized. I understand that I won't be able to access my iTunes on my new Mac. I'm fine with all that. I want just this new Mac to be totally free for me to start working brand new to this topic. I don't care about the new Mac iTunes, and I can continue to use my iPhone with my old Mac.

  Please, I hope someone can help me with this. THANK YOU in advance.

  Create an Apple ID iTunes. On the new computer, open Control Panel preferences to iCloud. Disconnect. Sign back in, but this time use the new Apple ID and password. See Apple ID - Apple Support and iTunes - how to set up an Apple ID iTunes.

• my firefox crashes more than 4 times a day

  I run windows XP I love and I don't mean to change. Until the last "update" my Firefox worked fine no problems and rarely experienced a failure. Since the update Firefox all seems to do is freeze and crash? not sure why nothing is different other than the update is automatic. I ran malwarebytes scan I did a scan with Kaspersky in-depth and also run tune up utilities, just in case nothing was found I have no viruses, but what I have is a Firefox that does not work. If I walk away from my computer for more information, then 10 minutes it freezes up, and I can't reduce it again and then it crashes.

  I looked through your forum I inspected my plugins (I have not much) nothing wrong with that

  I'm not very tech savvy please without lengthy explanations with 300 steps because I won't understand it. I just want to be able to take advantage of my Firefox again without it crashing several times a day.

  Any help is very appreciated

  
  

• How can I keep my Bookmarks Toolbar icons (I tried Deiconizer to bookmarks) even after downloading files?

  I prefer a clean workspace in my browser, I'm looking to get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar. I've been using the bookmarks-Deiconizer (version 2.3) and it works pretty well. When I open Firefox for the first time, but also new windows, icons do not appear, do the arrows down, and it's great.

  However, every time I download a file as a PDF file, icons appear and will disappear only after that I closed ALL my windows open or restart Firefox. This is problematic for me because I often work with lots of PDF files and do not want to have to close all windows to get back my own work space.

  Y at - it sort of coding I can do instead to remove the icons? I visited this thread (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/792988), but unfortunately I can't seem to locate the file "userChrome.css". I think that the coding of Firefox may have changed since then, but I'm not very tech savvy, so I could be wrong.

  Thanks for the help.

  userChrome.css and this file must be located inside the \chrome\ does not exist until the user creates this file and this file in the folder of their profile.

  http://antennasoft.NET/robcee/2012/04/20/bookmarks-deiconizer-userChrome-Edition/

  If you install this extension - ChromEdit Plus the necessary file and the folder will be created for you, and you will be able to add and modify preferences for the 3 'user' files in Firefox.

• IE is slow, hangs in Google, will run Firefox under Windows 7 with speed and security?

  I'm not very tech savy English so good please. I have a desktop Dell Studio with Intel 2 Quad Processer. I have used IE for 15 years and more. Started using Google Chrome for speed and better security about 6 months without any problem. Shortly after the beginning of the year Chrome started crashing every day and from 1/14 he broke the 10-12 times a day. I don't like losing stuff and having to stop, re - load, raise or re-store that Chrome was more than that was working properly.

  Will Firefox work in my system operating system. I loan on your security, password protection and other things that are touted on your website on Firefox, but I'm mostly concerned about accidents and what are the causes. Is the problem in my own system and not questions of brower?

  I just want to surf, read, watch you tube, facebook with friends and family. I am 65 years old and retired, and I'm really disguested with all the problems I encounter.

  I think Firefox is a good product, but I need answers to the questions I asked.

  We hope to hear from someone very soon on the issues that I raised. If I download Firefox, should I uninstall IE. I already have an installed Chrome =.

  Thank you

• I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  When I opened the Photos, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been published in iPhoto.  This never happened in iPhoto.  How can I fix?

  I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  Now when I open the pictures, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been previously published in iPhotos.  When you click on a fuzzy thumbnail to select it, the picture is very good. The photos were initially imported into iPhoto via the camera memory card to JPEG.  Is there a way to fix this?  I take lots of photos for a local spca and this will really slow me down in the decision-making process on the pictures to use.  I'm not a very tech savvy person any help with this is greatly appreciated!

  If you pick a few and twist and turn then back it is this resolved? -If this is the case you can do in large groups for the problem photos

• Portege 2000 - new installation using the PCMCIA CD-ROM XP

  I try to install XP on Portege 2000 using the official PCMCIA Toshiba CD-ROM drive.

  Install the XP disk boots fine, but after that Setup copied the files it blue screen (BSOD blue). I'm not very tech savvy, but I think it means that the BIOS can 'see' the PCMCIA CD-ROM, but that the real image of XP loaded by the installation program cannot, probably due to missing drivers for the PCMCIA CD-ROM?

  Then, I thought that maybe I could use F6 to load additional drivers during the initial installation, but it is beyond me to create the right set of files required. I know that you can download the Freecom drivers, but I don't know what are the driver files from CD to use and how to create from scratch the txtsetup.oem file right.

  Does anyone know how to properly use F6 and load the drivers for it?

  I found a lot of messages suggesting I copy the installer to the HARD disk and launch the installation from there. My problem is that the XP installation is an upgrade CD, so I will ask you at a certain time to insert a previous Windows CD and if at that time there I don't have a working CD-ROM drive...

  First post on this forum so be nice - I did a search but not find a thread with a real solution, but of course if I miss a please report!

  Hello

  I managed to install Windows XP Home the Portege 2000 using the PCMCIA reader but I ve used recovery disks original Toshiba which includes the correct driver for external optical drive.

  So far I tried not to install Windows XP Home edition, using the Microsoft installation disc.

  Maybe you should get the disks of facilities and not use this upgrade disk. I think that on this path, you will be able to install WXP as suggested when you copy data from facilities at the disk directly.
  Have you tried to get the original recovery disc Toshiba WXP?
