  MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, beginning 2013) El Capitan 10.11.3, Simple question here: I can't open FinalCut Express (4, I believe). The wheel turns for hours. How can I install/uninstall and will I lose all my old films (for the most part stored on external hard drives). Thanks for your suggestions.

  You will not lose anything, but the app if you uninstall. If you decide to uninstall use this app to make sure that all the other files which depends on FCE are also deleted however I can't give you any assurance as to whether you will be able to reinstall so that it works correctly. It is a software that has not been supported for almost 5 years and there are conflicting reports as to its compatibility with OS X 10.11. Can't I test it myself.

  Maybe someone else will chime in with their own experiences.

• What are firefox web ide and that's why all of a sudden that prevents me from working

  all of a sudden this morning, when I press the SHIFT key, a window opens which, when I expand it, it's firefox web ide. What white is, and why it rises. I am a simple user, not a developer and have no interest or need for developer tools. I can't make it disappear or turn it off. I finally get off I could enter my email by selecting my email address in a drop of water down - can't hit this symbol without the shift key--and put in my password limits by turning off caps lock key. But what makes firefox worse than useless.

  I guess this is related to the update firefox automatically downloaded yesterday or that it is some sort of virus, well I'm very careful about virus protection.

  I have used firefox for years and, so far, that is fine, but it's hopeless and, if I can't solve this report without delay, will be totally useless firefox for what it is.

  Thanks for the quick reply (happy to see the capital T at the beginning of this sentence). I never typed the F8 key (I almost never use the function keys, I am a developer/leader of old digital equipment and from time to time, for old times sake, open a DOS window and rename files using RENAME it order... i. e, a dinosaur) so there is no reason why it should have been stuck. The problem seems to occur when / whenever I used the key.

  But, for other reasons, I restarted my computer and the problem disappeared.

  As I see no reason why a reboot would have affected the behavior of Firefox, I don't see why this has helped. But I don't have a horse in the mouth, all happy with the result.

  Should it happen again, I will review and implement response info.

  In any case, thanks for your answer quick, complete and understandable.

• Laptop HP pavilion 17-f115dx: start window and desktop screen

  The problem is the flashes of desktop screen between a blank blue screen with a task bar and a desktop at startup screen. My splash screen comes first, and no problem until I find myself on the desktop, then it flashes between other screens and also the splash screen. I have to control alt delete to close.

  I found the solution on another thread-

  1. press CTRL Alt Delete

  2. go in Task Manager

  3. go to the Services tab

  4. look to the bottom of the window, and then click Open Services

  5. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service

  6. right click and select Properties

  7. go in Startup Type and change to disabled

  8. click on apply, and then click OK

  The flashing should stop immediately

  Alternative route:

  1. press CTRL Alt Delete

  2. go in Task Manager

  3. Select the file--> a new task

  4. type msconfig, then click ok

  5. Select the Services tab

  6. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service & uncheck

  7. click on apply, and then click OK

  8 restart your computer & when you connect the flashing should be gone

  The first set of directions worked for me, but someone else did the second set because they couldn't do the first.

  Hope this helps!

• How can I change my default save HDD to my FAVORITES and DESKTOP files (I want to always work out laptop for these two files)?

  I travel a lot and always had problems with what files and update my portable media player. Finally, I feel I have the solution and until now it works fine except for two files. I have only about 8 files/important things I work on quite regular, then now, I set up the files on my laptop and managed to get them to be the main 'saved' from my office. In this way, when I go, all I need to do is to make a back-up of EXACTLY what is on my laptop and here I am. [I used to work on my desktop and I must then transfer the files to my laptop when I would need to travel, but inadvertently, is I would like to work on a file on my desktop before I left (but after the transfer) and when I got home from my trip that I would not forget to transfer the portable desktop files but would open and work on a desktop file before realizing that I] did not transfer.  So it would be a nightmare to have to compare each file to copy / paste new entries of the desktop and laptop to get a REAL current, updated file. Now I am working just on the laptop at work, and then on a trip (just have to make backups of a 8 files). My only two problems are that for the life of me, I can't find how to have FAVORITES and save on the laptop instead of the OFFICE desktop computer. Please tell me step by step how I do drive (portable) M be my default save to FAVORITES, and OFFICE to make the perfect solution for my high travels. Thank you

• CP1215 print colors, but and .jpg file prints all black

  So, I used this printer very well for about 6 months with Win7 Home Edition.  Received a warning of low black cartridge about a week ago.  Today I went to print a jpg file, it comes out ALL black.  Tried to print a PDF file with colors in, that's fine.  Test page prints correctly.

  What the devil?

  A black toner low causes REALLY do?

  I'm not sure that this is related to this error message, but it could be a software problem. When you print these images? Have you tried other places? Looks like that the system does not send the information to the printer properly for me, so we'll see the first relocation of the software:

  First of all, if you use a USB cable, be sure to remove it (it's important). Do not plug it in again until the software instructs you. Through devices and printers, programs and features and issues Device Manager and make sure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. As indicated, and then restart the computer.

  In the menu START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here, I want you to press Ctrl + A, and press DELETE. Some files you cannot delete them, ignore these files and delete the majority that allows it to.

  find and install SOFTWARE to FEATURE FULL if it is available:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&product=3422476

  Install and let me know the result!

• We think our computer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 8, but not sure if photoshop CS2 will still work? also how do I save it in a change because they say that I need to do a full clean instalation and I will lose all programs!

  Not sure how this forum works? Did anyone see my question?

  If you are in urgent need of help CS2 so my suggestion would be to avoid the upgrade to Windows 8 If you ran it on a Vista machine already.  It is likely to complicate things and you may end up with a system that is incapable of managing these old software.

  You should see also the following about CS2 - basically, regardless of the copy you have is not a useful for a new installation.

• Since the update files now open in a new window and pinned tabs open all in the folder.

  Since the last update, now instead of simply to open a new page in the same tab when I click on a link, it opens a new tab. I also have a pinned favorite links folder, before I just click on it and scroll down to my link desired, since the update whenever I click on the folder, it just opens it in the folder. How can I fix it and God good, why cannot it be an option that stops updates to immediately change the previous settings like this done.

  I scrolled the basic options and couldn't find any way to address these changes, there are now very few options for tabs and pins.

  Yes problem seems to have resolved this self, probably a problem of update or something.

• Windows 7 desktop icons are all links

  Have a new windows 7. flying over my photos from the old computer. Some show a picture, so I right click for hopefully display image in an another photo viewer. I chose the windows photo viewer.  All icons on the desktop has changed so that icon and I can't open anything. They are all links

  'All icons on the desktop changed to icon and I cannot open anything'. I assume this is the icon of the windows photo viewer?

  I think that what's happened is that you used 'open with' on a shortened. You can check by going to control panel > programs > associate a file type or Protocol with a scroll of program LNK partner should say unknown. I suspect now is said however: Photo Viewer.

  If so, there are two ways, this can be fixed. The easy way requires editing the registry but then you want to go this route.

  1. click on Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER. Right click on regedit search results and run it as an administrator.

  2. navigate to the following registry branch:

  NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

  Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts.

  3. delete the subkey named UserChoice.

  4. exit the registry editor.

  The second method is a little more work, can't fix it, but does not involve the registry.

  Since the default action is caused by the user (as it was accidental) choice, you can be able to restore everything simply by creating a new user account. See if the icons to return to their natural state, then knit. If so, just move all your files and folders and delete the old account. If you use Outlook, you also need to reset where it looks for files of Outlook, but it can be automatic (do not try to start Outlook until what everything is copied on the property). If you use this method, remember to copy the hidden appdata folder. Just show all before you begin the copy.

• format hard drive for windows and larger files, TV supports

  Hello

  pls suggest me with the solution to the following problem.

  I need to know what format of hard drive works with mac, windows, & TV too, even for large files and quality bluray movies

  FAT32 only supports files up to a maximum size of 4 GB, which would be certainly much too small for Blu - Ray quality media.

  exFAT supports files of unlimited size effectively, Mac and Windows can read and write to exFAT to format external drives but neither can boot from such a unit. If a TV or other system supports exFAT drives, you need to check yourself formatted.

  NTFS supports files of unlimited size indeed, Mac can only read NTFS, it cannot format or write to NTFS, unless you get an add-on. Of course Windows supports NTFS. Again, you will need to check if your TV etc supports NTFS. If you want to add full support for NTFS to a Mac, I recommend this - https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/

  HFS + is the current format of Apple and new supports files of unlimited size effectively. Mac can of course read, write and format disks. Does not support the Windows as a standard HFS +, but still, you can buy an add-on for Windows Add this feature. It is extremely unlikely that a TV would support HFS +. If you want to add full support for HFS + for Windows, take a look at this - http://www.mediafour.com/software/macdrive/

  There are also other formats of disc for example ZFS and BTRFS, Ext3, Ext4 and soon SATF, but in this case, they are not relevant.

  Note: as indicated above, in many cases, I said 'actually unlimited', it is of course a limit, but one so great that he will strike you not for individual files, including Blu - Ray or even files UltraHD (4 k).

• Updated Windows and now have lost all access to Outlook.

  My friend was working on his computer when his computer has been automatically stopped to install an update from Windows.  When his computer returned to the top, he was not able to implement his program of Microsoft Outlook.  Its icon went, he said.  He did a backup of restoration of 24 hours, and it did not fix the problem.  Can you help me?  It has windows 7.

  Hi Blumoods,

  I can't explain why it happened, but it should be easy to retrieve her icons.  Pass him c:\programfiles\microsoft office\and click on OfficeNN file (should be office11 or office12).  If you organize type as is, you should see icons for Outlook, Excel, Word, etc.  Just copy them to the office.

  Hope this helps,

  Barbara
