I turn off my computer when finish work but it turns itself in the middle of the night.
My computer seems to have a mind of itself. He wakes at night after being off for hours
This problem is sometimes because your system is set on "Wake on LAN" which means that if a packet of information happens on your Ethernet (Internet) connection, which could bring your system to wake up and then find nothing to do.

Hello
Hope someone can help with this mystery. I've been watching Netflix fine until yesterday, when all of a sudden the HDMI signal has stopped working. I can put a movie and hear through television, but the TV shows a picture of my office, even if the Office does not appear on the computer, the film shows. How is that even possible? Tried turning off and unplugging everything. With the help of windows 8 (and is it to be terribly frustrating)
Hello Randy,
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you.
I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.
- What is the brand and model of the computer?
- Did you try to connect to a different HDMI port and check if it works?
According to the description of the signal problem HDMI has stopped working. You also mentioned that you can put a movie and hear through television, but the TV shows a picture of your desktop, even if the Office does not appear on the computer.
HDMI cables are supported, but not all, audio signals compatible HDMI video audio support cards. If your TV has an audio input, you might be able to connect an audio cable separated from the sound card of your computer directly to the TV. Otherwise, you need to connect the different audio signal to an output device, such as external speakers or your stereo. Follow these methods and check if that helps:
Method 1:
I suggest to disconnect the HDMI cable and try to connect it buy, follow these steps.
a. turn off your computer and place it near your TV. Unplug the monitor, but leave the mouse and keyboard connected.
b. connect the video cable from your computer's output to your TV.
c. turn on your TV and set it to the input that matches the output on your computer. You may need to refer to the supplied with your television user's guide for instructions on how to do it.
d. turn on your computer.
e. you should see windows displayed on your TV. If the screen looks stretched, or part of the screen seems cut off, you will probably have to adjust the screen resolution in Windows.
f. If Windows will appear on your TV, you will need to reconnect the computer to your monitor and adjust the screen resolution before connect you to your TV.
To set screen resolution follow this procedure:
a. right click on the screen, and then select the Screen Resolution.
b. check if the resolution is set to 1024 x 768.
c. If this isn't the case, then set it to 1024 x 768.
If the problem persists, go to method 2.
Method 2

I saved my adobe files temporarily muse in my computer when I restart my PC I see not the mt files, please tell me how to recover my files and how to record my entire Web site file using save option.
When you talk about 'temporarily' as record files in the temporary folder and then by restarting the machine will lose files. You can save the file in any location stored as reader or office and then reopen the case should show all of the content without any loss.
If the files are deleted or lost there's no way to recover those, sorry if this is the case.
Thank you

My computer crashed while I couldn't remove my CS5 Master Collection. I used my disk to load the program on my new computer. It worked but updates don't work nor bridge will recognize the raw files from my Canon 5 d Mark111. He acknowledged previously. Now, he says to convert to DNG, so I tried this but bridge is not to convert photos (even if it does not convert the raw files from my previous cameras).

I created sync on my computer at home (desktop computer). I then put in place on my iPhone and it worked perfectly - showing me all open tabs, I had the computer at home.
I just bought a MacBook Pro and want to get all my tabs/Favorites etc on the mac, computer at home. I put a synchronization on mac and coupled the unit and got the message saying that it is synchronized. However, none of my tabs or other data comes through to the mac.
Does take a number of hours? (I waited all night). I clicked on "Synchronize now" on my mac hoping that would synchronize all of the computer to the main house, but who did not open the tabs either.
Any thoughts?
Hello!
In order to view the tabs on other computers, that you have to go in 'History'-> 'tabs on other computers. Or type "subject: sync-tabs" in the address bar.
In other words, the tabs that you have in a computer or phone will not show opened in the rest of your devices but they accessed through this menu option.
I hope that clarifies the situation. I know that a lot of people expect the same behavior you describe, but when we tried it he finished is not not optimal.

They were all working perfectly before the router dropped out.
I went through all the procedures that several times. Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and the router... still does not work.

Updates the window appear when shutting down, but do not set up the next time you start
The display shows 15 updates of Windows are loaded (installed?) when the machine is stopped. To restart Windows, the screen indicates "wait" while the updates are being configured. The icon indicates that the configuration is current, but the screen always said that "0% are completed. Then, after a few minutes, the screen indicates something as "installation failed; Revenant. After the message 'return', the machine moves to the usual Windows 7 start page and asking to connect you as usual (which allows me to work on the machine). So, the next time I shut down Windows, the screen indicates that the installation of several updates continues and is completed in series. Then, the next time I turn on the machine it asks to wait while updates are configured; and finally, it "fails to complete the configuration" and "resets" as described above. What happened several times in the last two days. What should I do to get this resolved failure?
