Why is free is not free?

Whenever I have download an app that says it's free I ask me to verify my billing information and then I am charged. I thought free was free? Why is this happening?

I want to download the new El Capitan, it is said that it is a free download, but once again, I check my billing information, so I am afraid that once again I'll be charged.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

You are not in charge any bank verifies your identity to make sure you're using the account.

  • Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

    Before you start

    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.

    2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.

    3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

    1. installation Via USB

    Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

    2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

    For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

    For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Alternative installation methods

    With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

    Set printer wizard:

    Windows Update:

    Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.

  • There was an update to Windows XP sp1 would recognize higher than 127 readers ~ 137 GB, why this update was not in the version later service pack?

    (1) there was an update to Windows XP sp1 would recognize higher than 127 readers ~ 137 GB, why this update was not in the version later service pack?

    (2) where can I find so that I can then reinstall windows XP, updated to sp1, install the patch to see the complete player to sp2 and 3 can be installed?

    original title: supervision XP

    Maybe the disc has been formatted as part of your original installation of Windows XP with a pre - SP1 version of Windows.  At that point, he could only format the drive as 137 GB.  After you upgrade to a post-SP1 version of Windows, look at your hard drive with Disk Manager (start-> Run-> "diskmgmt.msc").  It can show the rest of your unused space that you might then be able to allocate in a second partition.

    If you want to keep one big partition, you will need to get a 3rd third party tool that can extend your current 137 GB partition to use more of the available space.  Google for it, plenty of them out there including those that are free.

  • Why my PC does not install updates? Although located to automatically receive my last update was February 2015 and all others have failed.

    Original title: updates

    Why my PC does not install updates? Although located to automatically receive my last update was February 2015 and all others have failed.  Although I tried to reset nothing help.

    Have also tried to download Windows 10 but computer spends all day looking for updates, but nothing happens.

    As its been almost a year that it is updated, you may be better off to backup your data and backup of your entire system, so you can get back to this point at least if something goes wrong. Then:

    Update your anti-virus software and run a full scan. Then download, install, update and run a full scan with Malwarebytesfree. Keep it free, no need to start a trial etc. Malware can be a cause of failure of the updates, the scan won't take long to run and should report something nasty, if its there.

    Then you can try the following:

    1 convenience store update Windows - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter

    2 system update readiness tool - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/what-is-the-system-update-readiness-tool

    3 components of reset update - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058

    4. check that "Windows update service" and "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" are listed and running according to the details in this article - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2730071 "

    If the above does not help, consider trying a 'repair installation system' - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html if you have windows installation discs, or a 'factory reset' (updated) If your PC came with no windows disk and was preinstalled. NOTE - in case backup your data and your system first in the form of data may be lost if something goes wrong, and data will be lost in the case of a factory reset.

    If you do not want to reinstall again, post back with more details, that is at least what is the error code when the updates fail? (find an update failed in "view history update", right click and click details.) Check a bit to see if the same error code. ). Then someone else can we hope to help more.

    Why my pc does not work no matter what .exe? I couldn't even run diagnostics

    Hi SteliosArmenis,

    Thank you for keeping us posted on the State of the question.

    I see there is that the antivirus installed on the computer could not detect infections. To ensure that the computer is clean, we can run a thorough scan using Windows Defender in offline mode.

    I suggest to download Windows Defender Beta offline to a flash drive, CD, DVD or USB and then perform the steps.

    The articles explain how to create a disk and run the scan.

    NOTE: the program must not not to be run / run from the office.

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  • Why my iMac does not automatically connect to my Airport time capsule.

    Why is my iMac not automatically connected to my wireless after waking up, since I upgraded to OS Sierra?

    Hi kamoore65536,

    Thanks for the upgrade to Mac OS Sierra! I understand that your Mac does not automatically connect to your airport after waking up from his sleep. There may be several reasons why this may happen to you. You can try to run Wireless Diagnostics to see if macOS Sierra can automatically fix the problem. If the problem cannot be solved with Wireless Diagnostics, make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list of your favorite network settings. You can also try to clear your list of preferred networks, and then re add your Time Capsule.

    Search for Wi - Fi using your Mac problems

    macOS Sierra: choose the preferred Wi - Fi networks

    This should have your Mac connecting the airport automatically as it did before. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question.

    Have a great day.

  • Why Flash cookies are not deleted the first time I'm leaving Firefox?

    I am running XP, Firefox 16.0.1 and Flash Player 11.4.402.287 and have Firefox configured to 'Clear history of Firefox closing', with 'Cookies' (among others) checked "settings to erase history. I also have Flash Player configured to "Block all sites to store information on this computer."

    As I understand it, from Firefox 4 and Flash Player 10.3, have Firefox configured in this way should cause cookies Flash should be deleted out of Firefox. I also understand that even though I have Flash configured as I do, a list of websites that try to plant a cookie Flash is always recorded in the main settings.sol cookie.

    I noticed, however, that this list of empty Flash cookies is not removed the first time I have quit Firefox; on the contrary, the list is deleted after launch and then leaving Firefox again.

    Here is a step-by-step example:

    (1) Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage tab-> storage Local to Site-> button settings confirm that the list is empty

    (2) output, that manage Flash Player settings

    (3) launch Firefox-> go to http://www.Hulu.com/ and click on a video to start playing

    (4) recovery Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> Local website storage settings... tab button-> make sure that the list indicates http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (5) leave the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (6) Firefox exit

    (7) raise Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST SHOWS AGAIN http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (8) leave the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (9) restart Firefox

    (10) raise Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST SHOWS AGAIN http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (11) exit the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (12) exit Firefox

    (13) stimulus Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST IS now EMPTY

    Once again, my question is - why this list is not emptied the first time around?

    Safe mode disables plugins, I think not, so that you can put those aside for now.

    I suggest disable all non-essential extensions. We all tend to accrue to those who are not really necessary. You can do so here:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > category: Extensions

    If the kernel extensions, you really like the cause of the same problem, then I think you will have to just live with it. Please note that Flash is followed correctly your bet as a block, so I don't think that something is actually stored.
