'Upgrade to Windows 8.1 free' application in the store asks me to log on as an administrator - I am already an admin and I can not understand how
When I go to the Store tile in Windows 8, I was happy to see the "upgrading to Windows 8.1 free". I read about this free update, but it has never been available for me so far.
However, when I click on download, it gives me an error saying: "you must use an account with administrator privileges. I'm an admin on the machine (for example I can run a command as administrator prompt without giving any creds). So I am confused on how to proceed.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have an OS9-iPad 9.3.1-, mem 64g
I'm used to be able to locate my files, that are currently using the command or modify.
However, I can't do in the iPad.
I downloaded a few applications Manager file, thinking that one of them would be
help me to locate and manage my files, but none of them can locate files on my iPad.
I have files PDF and Kindle, for example - but I can not only locate raise them in some readers.
However... Can I use a file manager application to show me my files and allows me to use or modify them?
I have to do everything on your laptop, then download in my pad?
.. can where I get an application to the list of my files for me?
Apple has blocked 'file manager apps' access directly at the beginning of iOS with iOS 8.3 file system.
The only way that some files are accessible through these types of applications is if the files are marked for sharing files (accessible via iTunes on Mac/PC) by the developer of the app. Actually, you don't need a ' file manager app "since the sharing of files in iTunes already allows to access files directly via iTunes in the first place.

screen turns black and moves randomly when using most of the tools of photoshop. I use windows 10 and cannot follow the above.
Hi Nodstown,
Greetings.
- What version of PS do you use?
- Mac or Windows, which version?
- There may be several reasons for this.
- Preferences corrupt.
- Obsolete graphics drivers.
- Solution
- Try resetting the PS tools. (See screenshot)
- Try resetting the PS preferences - to restore preferences quickly by using a keyboard shortcut: press and hold Alt + Ctrl + Shift (Windows) or Option + command + shift (Mac OS) when you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings.
- Update graphics card drivers
- AMD - AMD Catalyst 15.10 Beta Driver for Windows
- NVIDIA - drivers | GeForce
- Also, try opening the PS, then go to preferences - performance and uncheck CPU chart use
- Now, restart PS and then try to use tools again.
Concerning
