  iCloud for windows has stopped working - no data showing. Everyone knows this? Found a fix?

  I've recently upgraded to a Windows 10 laptop and have had problems with iCloud.  I can't access the photos at all - old hard drive Windows 7 accesses as before, except all my original photos (not Photostream - in folders) seem to have been deleted but it is now downloading Photostream when I activated my new laptop, but only back until June 2015.  However, other data seems OK - contacts, calendar, notes, etc.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  2. are you able to connect by using a different account?

• Windows calendar - reminder on the date of

  I have a monthly appointment that I put in place on the calendar for the first of each month. It was easy to make the recurring appointment. However, I want that it reminds me of the appointment to the date of the appointment, not x number of minutes. If I choose "to date" reminder, but it sets the date of the first occurrence of all occurrences. For example, the callback for 1 August is on August 1. However, the reminder for September 1 is set for August 1! The same is true for any other months that follow. Someone knows how to fix this?

  There is no option to fix this (I also).  I find it interesting that the default options for reminders do not include the date - maybe that has something to do with the problem.  I can't find any mention of this problem or proposed fixes (Microsoft or by carefully searching the Bing and Google).  I can even find another thread in another forum that addresses this problem.  Although there may be a registry fix for this problem, it does not appear in the registry and I could still find no reference to one.  I'm afraid, it is a bug in the program that we have to live with. I want to emphasize that I found MANY programs of reminder for Vista (some freeware) that should do it properly - but I could find none that directly linked in the Windows Calendar (and besides, reminder dates in Windows Calendar are wrong so the other program would probably use those incorrect dates as well).

  In the State, the only solution I can suggest is download a 3rd party program calendar to replace Windows Calendar and I hope it works correctly - or set the reminder of a day in advance and just leave it so that it shows two days of reminders (assuming that the those old remove automatically the day of the appointment, since they have been set for one day in advance).  Not really practical and not a very good workaround solution, but the only thing I can think of.

  Sorry, but I don't think there is a solution to this problem in Vista or Windows Calendar.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows 8 can bind to a Windows 7 homegroup?

  I have a friend who has Windows 8, and it uses the same network. In Windows 8, you can create/join a homegroup. But Windows 7 can connect a Windows 8 HomeGroup? Or Windows 8 a to join a homegroup in Windows 7?

  Any help appreciated.
  Thanks in advance. :-)

  All editions of Windows 7 Homegroup (*) support can join any Windows 7 or Windows 8 Homegroup and vice versa.

  It's you if you want to create a homegroup in Windows 7 and join Windows 8 computers to it, or if you want to create a homegroup on Windows 8 and join the Windows 7 computers. Residential group functions do not depend on which version of Windows, it is created, it works in the same way that they are created on 7 or 8.

  (*) = Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic editions can join but does not create a homegroup.

• Sharing on windows 7 homegroup problem

  I installed windows 7 homegroup as the video tutorial on Microsoft. But I can not enter the library on the network of the homegroup. Please help me. It is important for me.

  Hi Kathy,

  Do you have an error message when you enter the library on the network of the homegroup?

  Are various reasons which are responsible for not having access to the homegroup:

  a: Network discovery can be disabled

  b: the other computers in your homegroup can be turned off, hibernating, or not at home; or may have left the homegroup.

  c: Other people in your homegroup might not have shared libraries or folders.

  d: the homegroup password might have been changed on a computer that was then immediately turned off or went into a State of sleep or hibernation, but the new password was not immediately introduced on other computers in the homegroup.

  Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.

• Windows 7 homegroup starter tries to connect to the other win 7 homegroup not working does not as expected

  I have two samsung n140 NetBook, both come with Windows 7 starter, I try to get things homegroup networking.

  I have set up with the default values at the same time to share the photo, video files etc under homegroup sharing.

  He was asked to create a password for homegoup I did it (could have come because I have a NetBook connected initially to a pc running win 7 ultimate, which is where I created a homegroup password but this pc is no longer connected to the network, it's just two samsung netbooks)

  in any case when I connected this other netbook with the first he asked me the homegroup password that was entered successfully by me. However, nothing has been free since. These two netbooks running win7 are the only PCs in my home group.

  Ive managed to get to a point where in the record of the house band that netbook names are displayed in eachothers homegroup however is listed in network for the group shares residential eachother trying to access the network.

  Can I cannect for both computers on the network in the way outdated by sharing folders and access the network folder in my network places and can read and write, but not in the home group.

  Homegroup is where I want to control networking not by any other means, I would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction please or if its win 7 starter limit myself from network access to the homegroup.

  Thank you very much

  Hey fatfei,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  I want to erase some of the basics of networking in Windows 7 Starter edition.

  You cannot create a homegroup to a computer running Windows 7 Starter Edition. You can reach only a HomeGroup existing of the starter edition.
  This must be one of the restrictions placed on you while trying to connect the two starter edition of Windows 7 homegroup.

  So the only option left out here is upgraded to another version of Windows 7 that supports creating HomeGroup via Windows Anytime Upgrade or stick to the way they are connected at present.

  For more information, please read this article.
