When I go to the Windows website I see an announcement to say that "Windows 8 for $14.99. Is this a legitimate site and the deal?
This is supposed to be a thing where if you buy a new computer, you can switch to Windows 8 when it comes out for $14.99. When I try to go on the site, I get a popup saying that Firefox crashes due to a certificate problem. Is this a secure site? Here is the site showing the ad. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Home. The ad reads "Windows 8 for $14.99. I don't understand why I can't access the site. I just bought a new computer (not the one I'm using now) from Best Buy and it should benefit from this. Can someone explain?
Peace,
BAT

Since the update to iTunes 12.4.1.6 I don't see my purchased music. When I try to import my old playlists I get a message saying that the library is not a valid iTunes library. Thus, thousands of songs and hundreds of films and I can't see or play one. I see my movie library where it is stored on an external hard drive, but my music was on my iMac.
Where all the playlists gone and why didn't appear my entire music library? I checked the preferences and iTunes points to the correct folder, BUT only my music purchased appears...
Same thing happened to me. I tried to replace iTunesLibrary.itl with an older copy, but that has not worked. Then I tried to return a version by resetting the Time Machine's iTunes app, but it would allow me to edit or delete iTunes because it is part of Mac OS X.
So, I can not sync my iPad or iPhone, update all apps or find my music, that is, the course of the odf, still on my hard drive. ITunes just can't see the library.

I cannot perform certain functions because he says that I'm not an administrator, but it's my computer and I'm the only person who uses this computer
What are the functions? More global changes (changes to the system, software installation) require an elevation in Vista/Windows 7.
Changes to the built-in Vista administrator account
http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=942956
User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts
You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all other Windows 7, Vista, and modern operating systems are operating systems multi-user with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.
In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it may require more work you want to do. Better not to get into a bad situation at first.
The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.
If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:
Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UACUncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Hello, this is usually a tactical scam that tries to trick you into installing malicious software, in order to not download or run this kind of stuff! You can also run a full scan of your system with software security already in place and the various tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan to make sure there isn't already a kind of active malware on your system that triggers these false alerts.
Fix Firefox problems caused by malicious software
You can also help by pressing F10 & will help > report false web while you are on these questionable notification of update pages - this could get the page in the list of malicious sites that crash in firefox (the list is maintained by google) or when these pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to encourage users to download malicious software you could also send it to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.
