• iPhone 4 will not restore or update

  Hello

  I just pulled out my old iPhone 4 that I haven't used for probably a year and a half. My iPhone 5 c died on me randomly and I set up an appointment to get it fixed, but until now, I need to access some applications I can download on my 4.

  Surprisingly, the battery is still able to be charged and the phone finally woke up from his sleep. Then I tried to connect to my WiFi, but none of the wi - fi access points appeared in the list, and the upper left corner of my screen went on to say "search". I tried to restart the phone, which has proved to be a heck of a lot of trouble because it would show the logo of apple on the screen for so long each time. I finally went to bed and tried to sleep, but of course to get up to ten minutes later and the phone was finally facing upwards. Same problem of wi - fi. So I thought I would try to update.

  It comes as I had before he told me "this phone could not be updated." and then asked me if I wanted to try the update again, or to restore and update, I tried the update again, just in case. That did not work. So I tried to restore twice (and to update because apparently that was required to restore) and he said "this phone could not be restored." According to me, it gave me an error number (16) and iirc the update error was (17).

  Can someone please?

  During my minutes awake eagerly hoping that it works, I realized I should probably keep my 4, loaded and ready just in case my 5 c dies never again, because my Apple Care runs in June and I will probably not be able to pay a 6 until the 7 came out. Maybe even the 8.

  If I am able to solve this problem and wi - fi still does not work, I'll probably put it in the fridge (that my Iphone 4 32 GB Black can't find any wifi network) because obviously my phone has been reset a dozen times now and my wi - fi works with everything else is probably not the modem.

  I found the answer here: cannot restore my Iphone 4 after an update, Please HELP!

  "I was able to fix this by simply changing the usb ports..."

  Has worked for me, my phone has restored himself. Now is the time to try the hack of refrigerator.

  Edit: so bad, I just went more near my modem (right next to her instead of the room above) and he acknowledged the connection. Hooray!

• Greyed out on Hotmail icons and impossible to uninstall Silverlight

  • I had problems with my hotmail attach icons greying out and sometimes come back.  I tried all the normal stuff to rectify, but it seems I may be defective Silverlight.  I tried to uninstall Silverlight configuration/Add/Remove Programs Control Panel, but it allows me to remove it.  I tried disabling it, but that makes no difference.  Running Win XP Media Center Edition 32-bit with IE 8.

  Hello

  ·        What are the steps you have taken to resolve your problem?

  ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

  ·        Remember to make changes to the system?

  ·        What happens when you try to uninstall Silverlight to the system? You get the error message?

  ·        Are which hotmail icon you referring?

  If the problem started recently, I suggest you do a system restore to a point when the system worked very well and see if the problem is resolved.

• I have toshiba laptop that missed my virus protection and my laptop a week ago has changed for the windows Classic theme, all the other themes are greyed out so you cannot select them,

  I have toshiba laptop missed my virus protection and my laptop a week ago has changed for the windows Classic theme, all other themes are greyed out so you cannot select them, my internet has also stoped working, I also can't do a system restore as it says it does not work any body can help me please?

  My laptop will also not me do a backup.

  Try these:
  METHOD 1:
  Back up all the files on a USB Flash drive or an external hard drive and re - install Windows on the hard disk of laptop.
  -------------------------------------------------------------
  METHOD 2:

  Try partitioning your hard drive and put your files there.

  1. Start menu search: 'drive '.
  2. click on create and format hard disk partitions
  3 right-click the Local Disk (C) and select shrink.
  4. According to the size of the files, we could save, choose the size you want to reduce (1000 MB = 1 GB)
  5. right click on the new "unallocated space" and create the Partition. (Name it BACKUP or something)
  6. place all your important files on the new partition, and then, when you reinstall Windows, select the Local Disk (C)
  DO NOT select the Partition you you saved on files.
  Hope that these answers are useful.

• my creative cloud application is greyed out

• Cannot export/Share - greyed out

  I wrapped an edict of 25 minutes on the timeline.  Now, I'm having a few problems for export - all greyed out... can't share.  I relinked files a couple of times and now I reimport all media just to be sure.  I'll see if it works.  In addition - trash of pref or something?

  What would you say to build libraries or something.  BTW, re-import is complete and it has not helped.

  Everyone slayed this on FCPX 10.2.3?

  Thank you!

  Figured it out.  Once more, I learned that you can not do your support who come looking for you.  If you move projects and libraries around the drive to the drive, it may re - import media.  Remember those pesky missing radar alerts?  Re-Binder alone was not the problem.  You know you have a problem, when you leave FCPX and then re - login.  The problem files are going to be watching you.  Re-IMPORT media - then WAIT for it to import!  Don't rush - 9 order and look at the files to import.  Once the import is complete - all right.  Export and share to your heart's content!

• Unable to choose 'clear history' - it is greyed out and unselectable

  I can't select 'clear history' - it is greyed out and unselectable on my laptop. Only, it happens on my laptop, but shows my story for many months in the past and includes the history both of my desktops, which is supposed to be cleared frequently. Sync is enabled on all devices, and history does not appear on desktop computers. I am able to clear the history on desktop browsers, but not the laptop. Computer laptop operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium I also have IE, Chrome, Safari installed.
