Sony PC Companion Z3 issue on Windows 8.1

When I connect my Z3 with Windows 8.1 PC via USB, the phone will ask you wheather I want to install the software on my PC. I say 'Yes', but nothing installed on my PC or do nothing.

Then I discovered the Sony Xperia care download and installed on my PC. I followed the instructions, but when the configuration of wireless application the phone to connect to the WIFI and then the phone, it's impossible to connect. It's weird because the WIFI network is connected, but it is impossible to connect to the companion of PC via Wireless Media Transfer under setting up USB connectivity.

I wonder the PC companion with Z3works for others?

I was about to give up with the SONY software then installed an app called WiFi Connect so I can connect to my wireless PC. After that I connected to my PC with the application, I spotted a file whose name is the same that my WiFi network on the storage name internal and it is 0K in size and just previously created. I assumed that this must be an orphan and the left after implementation of unsuccessful connection with SONY PC Companion, then I deleted. A minute later, I saw my SONY PlayMemories was running on my PC and import media files from my phone. Then I checked the connection and found PC is connected to the phone via WiFi connection wireless. What a bizarre experience and can not explain, but it works for now.

  • Sony PC companion - Elm: no Outlook synchronization more?

    Hello!

    Since the last automatic update, Sony PC Companion do more synchronize with my outlook.

    I use an elm, my PC has Win7/32 and I get the error message is:

    (Translation: the application could not start.) Some components that are needed to start this application are missing. Try again later).

    I tried later and once again and once again after the start and after reinstalling and so on, without change.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do? I really need the sync.

    Many greetings!

    Volker

    Second attempt to get the image appears.

    Ah, I see. This is probably the reason then since PC Companion sometimes gets blocked by security programs.

    Try asking your TI if it is possible to add PCCompanion.exe to the 'green list', so it will not be blocked. Could help.

    Offline Installer is something of a transfer as a suggestion for the future value.

  • Anyone know of any compatibility issues with Windows 8 and RV series routers?

    I have a small network with a laptop computer, Windows 8, Windows XP desktop computer and a network MyBookLiveDuo storage device. I have sharing enabled between these devices. Everything worked well on a network switch. I replaced the switch with the RV110W VPN Firewall Router to add better security to my network before I have expand it. Since then, I have a laptop Windows 8 intermittent connectivity while the connectivity of the XP desktop computer shows no problem.

    On the laptop Windows 8 I ran network troubleshooting, and he complained that two devices on the network are (NAT) network address translation and the symptoms he describes is what I see. Problem is that I don't have a network Analyzer to look at the network in more depth. I looked online for the RV110W documentation and if NAT is listed as one of the characteristics, there is no discussion in the documentation on how to manage this feature in the router.

    I can connect to the Windows 8 laptop from Office XP and access shared content. I can connect to the Duo since Office XP without difficulty. However, except when they reappear periodically under the heading of my network in Explorer on the laptop Windows 8, I can't access the Office XP or the Duo of the laptop Windows 8. Curiously, however, I have a part of the Duo mapped as a network drive on the laptop Windows 8 and I can access it even when everything else has gone. Also, the interface of management for the Duo appears on the laptop Windows 8 and I can access the Duo to manage. Only, I can't access the shares on the Duo. Then all of a sudden they reappear under network in the file Explorer and I can then access. I think it must have to do with NAT, but I can't find anything out about it.

    If it's something I can turn on the router long enough to see if the problem goes away I would like to try, but I can't find it in the documentation, and I can't find it when I look aroiund in the management interface.

    The fact that I am not having the form of the XP desktop computer problem makes me think that a compatibility issue with Windows 8. Does anyone know if Windows 8 did anything with NAT? I try to get help from Microsoft Technical Support, but their level 1 tech told me to call Tech Support Pro when they open later this morning. Support cat Cisco won't open until Monday at 09:00.

    Also, throughout this connection problem Internet from the laptop through the router is never interrupted. It's strictly connectivity with other devices on the internal network that comes and goes.

    Hi Gregg,

    NAT must not play unless your applications on the internet. The "port Internet" or "WAN port" is a NAT port that converts your public IP address from ISP to your LAN subnet addresses. NAT allows multiple computers on a network to use 1 public IP address.

    If your devices are connected to the Ether "LAN ports" they are not affected by NAT unless they are Web applications. 4 'LAN ports"are 2 layer switch ports. This means that all local requests are forwarded by the switch ports.

    This device did replace exactly? The XP computers, DUET and window 8, make these products using the static IP address or you allow the RV110 to assign an IP address automatically? What IP address you are using on the LAN of the RV110?

  • Microsoft Money 2005 issue on windows 8.

    Microsoft Money 2005 issue on windows 8.

    I have recently installed windows 8 on my laptop, but after reinstalling MS money 2005 seems to me impossible to restore data.

    I think that the problem might be that while my original Money 2005 had been updated to version 14.0.120.1105 now that I reinstalled the program, it is the original version 14.0.120.730.

    I am aware that Microsoft has officially stopped support for MS 2005. However as I live in England where no later version is available a sale is too much to ask that Microsoft makes updates available to allow a work produced by another MS product Ms

    Or loyalty toward Microsoft reimbursed by having to buy a third program of parties to import my data to work on their system.

    Visit http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/money/thread/479281b2-90f9-42ca-85f7-644fc6e1e5c3 and download the installer of Money 2005 UK QFE2.

  • Private browsing issues: new window is a "pop-up" & right click on Favorites Displays grayed out options

    When I'm in the mode of private browsing in Firefox 38.0.1 for Windows 8.1, I can't do the following.

    1. when I click on a link to open a new window, the new window is like a pop-up window (no menus, no scroll bar). I have a blocked pop-up windows, it is like, but is not technically a pop-up window but it is not blocked.

    2. when I choose a bookmark and then right-click on it to choose another bookmark in a new window or new tab (or any other options that appear), the text is gray while I can't choose it.

    These "issues" are normal for Firefox 38.0.1?

  • Y510p Trackpad driver issues on Windows 7

    I recently bought a Lenovo Y510p. Soon after receiving it, I wiped Windows 8 and installed Windows 7. I downloaded all the Windows 7 required drivers on the Lenovo support site and install without any problems. The problem I have is that most of the time the driver for the trackpad momentum seems to have issues. Device Manager acknowledges the mouse as a generic PS/2 mouse and the options of the momentum, under control panel > mouse is not CSA listed at all.

    I found a temporary solution to the problem. Uninstalling the drivers through the Device Manager, reboot, then install drivers the momentum of the Lenovo site, then reboot, I was able to get the mouse appears in the momentum Control Panel, where I could finally set my parameters. However, after my next reboot, the mouse was absent from the Panel momentum once more, and now I'm at square. I tried the solution that had previously worked, but I got no results.

    Anyone has any ideas or similar problems that they resolved?

  • Monitor the issue after Windows update

    I installed the Windows updates today, and after installing and restarting, the saturation of the color on my monitor is out of line. There is intense color saturation and it made all my files photo as well.

    Running windows 7 and a HP w2338h monitor.

    Thanks for any help on this

    fifthboss,
    You should look through the updates installed to see if there was an update to the video card.  I would then check with the manufacturer of your video card for the latest driver.  If you just updated to the most recent and feel it affected the color then you can restore the previous driver.  Then you can contact the manufacturer of the video card on the driver and they know the issue and see if they are still aware and have a fix.

    You are the very welcome.

    Sorry the quick launch of the software did not work.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to provide additional assistance to this issue because I don't know any other software that you can use for this purpose.

  • Windows Update issues. Windows Defender can't check definition error code 0 x 80242017 - after Re Installing Windows Vista updates. ?

    After reinstalling Windows, everything works fine until it fails to install and download updates.
    After that it automatically installs updates, it shows updates that failed, I try again but then it does not download or install updates everything at all!

    -J' have a lot of updates going back to years ago, it lists the Versions updated even with another publication date, what I need to download and install all?
    I should manually, choose to install only the latest versions?

    -Windows Defender error 0 x 80242017:
    Windows Defender had always worked without any problems before re-installing.

    -J' already downloaded Microsoft Fix it: it scans and fixes a few problems, but there is always an impossible problem to fix 'recent installation updates problems'

    Also, checked if Software Licensing service work but couldn't find it under services - this could be a related issue? or is located somewhere else?

    I now use the computer and everything else seems normal.

    -little background information:
    Decided to do a re-complete installation of Windows Vista on an old computer which was the minimal use (we tried to update every month)
    Why I decided to reinstall:
    During a session to install the fix, it never moved beyond the "installation of update 1 of ' it lasted there for several hours, after losing patience I Gilles downwards and then the problems started a week later.

    I was unable to use it without problems, sometimes I would get blue screens, get stuck checking DMI disc read error, or it wouldn't start at all. Also seems to be some registry problems.

    In the end, I was able to start but I was able to browse the internet. When I opened all the files, the window came out white, but he said that the number of files it contains.  Could not even open the start menu and was unable to use the restore system and when I access it from F8 it says it is running in a limited Diagnostic State and all restore points have disappeared.

    Last good known Configuration or Check Disk doesn't help. I reinstalled after that.

    I'm not a Tech person that's why I posted for help here = \

    Thank you in advance, all advice appreciated!

    1. all both installed on 22/09/2014

    2. it is not available

    3. 2 or 3 hours maybe? I downloaded webroot only after that I thought I was able to install the updates that lasted a few hours.

    4 definition version: 1.185.885.0 created 22/09/2014

    What happens when you try to update Defender via the UPDATE on the update tab button (for example, another error of 0 x 80242017)?  [DOCUMENT TEST/NOW]

    When you run a manual check of updates, is an update of definitions of Defender offered as an optional update and if so, allows it to install?

    Note: A computer can become infected a few seconds of being connected to the internet without a valid antivirus application installed. It of a very good chance that you see the effects of an infection being a certain type and that demand for Webroot is not installed or working properly.

  • Pioneer DVR-KD08 issues on Windows 7

    Hi!, I'm asking here beucase is my last choice... I had Windows Vista Home Premium installed on my Sony Vaio VGN-CR460F, which has the CD/DVD Pioneer DVR-KD08 ATA attached... but well, there is NOT a driver for the CD/DVD drive... that's why sony vaio using a driver Optiarc AD - 7260S... but the problem is the following:

    After installing my new Windows 7, the software did not recognize the driver Optiarc AD - 7260S, he places a 'Pioneer' Driver, but this driver does not work... and when I try to find any other driver, he says that he's already been materialized, so he won't find all...

    The first question is: where can I find a driver (driver Optiarc AD - 7260S) so I can install it MANUALLY (with no configuration... it doesn't let me install if is an installation program)

    Now... After looking for drivers, I went to Sony ESupport Page... and I have downloaded the updated driver Optiarc... but when I try the update... it wont let me, because windows 7 recognized the Pioneer drive (it was like optiarc in vista back then) since windows 7 recognizes the Pioneer drive... Optiarc UPDATE or even used Driver SETUP I would install it... (It is said: instalation error, there is no Compatible drive...)

    So mi second question is: How can I update my drive with the update installation program? ... Given that windows 7 recognizes the drive as pioneer... it says it is not compatible with the installer! ...

    I ask this because after upgrade my Windows Vista to Windows 7, the player collapsed to be able to read or write any DVD or CD, I tried to make it work with Mr Fix It Windows... and deleting the LowerFilters and UpperFilters registry... Then please don't answer that...

    I just need one manually to install my driver to make it work.

    Thanks :)
