  • Some files have been moved and are inaccessible after installation of Vista Service Pack 2

    For several months, I had been unable to install the latest updates of iTunes, always get the message "Could not access network location %AppData%". Recently, I realized that I had apparently never installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 or 2 and the practice which finally allowed me to install iTunes 9.2.

    The problem I have now is that one (or two) of these Service Packs created a new profile user labelled 'TEMP' folder and that's where all my iPod apps seem to have "evaporated" to. I say evaporated because iTunes cannot locate, and when I access the folder of the user 'TEMP' (even using my administrator account), I found only a few subfolders (AppData (, LocalLow, Microsoft, CryptnetUrlCache), and those are all empty.  Either way, my administrator user account no longer shows upward at all when I use my 'normal' user code

    Making windows for .ipa files search is the only way I can see same registrants, but then when I try to open the location of file (Mobile Applications C:Users\TEMP\Music\iTunes) I get an error "the location is not available", which suggests that the information may have been moved to another location.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, Service Pack 2.

  • Unable to run .exe files during the installation of new software.

    I can't install new programs because my system asking you what program use and my internet explore doesn't open automatically however my knowledge is on my desk and works very well.

    Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.

    If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

  • Unable to play media, source and program windows empty

    I have Adobe CS Production Premium installed 5.5 and generally operating at 100% of features on a computer Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) (AMD FX-8150, 16 GB of RAM, 200 + GB of free space on the disk). For the second time recently, I ran into a problem where the source and program windows/frames does not display my video clips or sequences at all; as usual I double clicked an item in my frame of window/project to modify something or open a sequence of reading, and I get nothing. (Screenshot below.) By clicking on the play button after a few minutes can lead to hearing some audio, but it does not always work, and it is very delayed, sometimes by minutes. This happens through all of my projects, so it does not appear to be linked to an individual, and it keeps restarting.

    I'm not sure what I did to heal the problem the first time around; It seemed just to get over. Nevertheless, does very difficult editing, and I'm about to start a new project...

    Quite often when you try to delete a file or folder, I get the response "cannot delete [file or folder name]: it is used by another person or program."  Close all programs that might be using the file and try again. »

    "No one else" uses the file and have already put an end to all operations on the file or folder, nothing is to use it.  Something not publishes the file at the end of any activity with her.

  • When you delete a folder of photos empty, all the image files have been deleted and are not in the Recycle Bin

    I've highlighted that an empty images folder and you press the button Delete. Each photo file (and the content) in the library has been removed. Basket is empty

    * original title - all images disappeared in cyberspace *.

    Sorry if I look like I ask the same thing again and again I REALLY don't want to hear it, but just beyond bizarre. There is no reason crap for photos to just upward and vanish.

    OK how bout this. Assuming the photo library you meant the images library, like the one on the little box in the file Explorer, users, go to start, computer, drive C, and right-click on my pictures, and then select Properties. If this was not the 'official' picture library, go to the folder view these photos and go to properties it there instead.

    Now on the shortcut menu, click previous versions, wait list to fill out, when it does, click one of the folders that was before the photos have disappeared and select restore.

    Essentially, this will make the pictures folder how was the date that you have chosen your photos, then all must return.
