• BlackBerry Smartphones sync wants to delete the old calendar entries

  My apologies if this has been taken up, but I have not been able to find.   I have a BB Curve and the Blackberry Desktop Software.  Since the update to 7.1.0 Bundle 2879 on the phone, that I can't sync with Outlook without deleting all the passes of the calendar entries. (My BB Desktop Software is 7.1.0.41 Bundle 42.)  I have the camera set to keep keep always the appointments.  I ran a synchronization with the one-way set to sync software from the computer to the device that does not ask to remove all entries from the old, but when I switch back to the two-way synchronization he still wants to delete all the passes the calendar on the device entries.

  You have options in the tab of the organizer for the calendar by clicking Configure. From there, there, you can choose to synchronize all calendar entries. This should be a resolution. In addition, there are options to control more which allows to synchronize by clicking the Advanced button.

  If you want to control the amount of calendar data consider rest on your cell phone...

  I had problems with handling the appts Blackberry in the past where - when an appt is deemed be removed from the mobile device - it removed also Outlook! This should NEVER be--but WAS. It is thus a better 'political' to have your BB synchronize all appts and control how much will remain on your phone by using the Outlook archiving functionality. When calendar items move to your archive, then you can see appts should be deleted from your phone, but they will just be appts 'old' according to what you install.

  And no matter - before make you a new synchronization or changes which may react unexpectedly...

  Make a backup of your Outlook file just in case!

  I hope this helps.

• "You sure you want to delete the file without moving it to the Recycle Bin? In response, 'No' causes the file to be left undone.

  Separated from this thread.

  I think the bug has something to do with the partitions created with TrueCrypt.

  Indeed. Make the truecrypt as removable disk volume in options of fixed the problem :)

  The suggestion did not work for me.

  I use Windows Home Premium and Truecrypt 7.1.

  When the volume is "removable", an attempt to delete causes the prompt, "do you really want to delete the file without moving to trash? In response, 'No' causes the file to be left undone.

  When the volume is not removable, an attempt to delete causes, command, the prompt "you want to move the file to the Recycle Bin?  I clicked 'Yes' the file disappeared from his record, but was not visible in the trash, even if the trash appears to have contained.  By clicking on "All content, restoring" the trash, has no effect.

  Basket of content used to be visible and restoration-able.  I recently opened some volumes on a drive not used for several months.  Other that that, I can't say why the trash behavior has changed recently.

  Suggestions appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Colin

  I suspect it has to do with the size of the 'file '.  When a file is larger than the preset size of trash, your options are to delete without moving to the trash.  No way that you do not want to delete it without moving it to the Recycle Bin, but if she's great that recycle it bin it cannot so it just happens.  If you say yes it removes without moving to recycle.

  You can change the size of your trash by right click > properties > change size

• I installed Windows 7 on a Vista machine. I want to delete the old files of Vista but system requires the permission of Mike-PC\Mike to make changes to this file. How can I get this permission?

  I am convinced that the old program gives me a message about more than 500 fonts are installed everytime I open a works file.  This is my understanding of Windows 7 there is no limit on the installed fonts.  The old Vista file is more than 90 GB.  I already a copy of the file on a separate drive if something of him is never necessary.

  If the Windows.old folder, the best way to remove it is with disk cleanup.

• You want to delete the user account from the computer and turn the computer on a workgrout or a homegroup.

  Original title: My Windows 7 laptop is plugged in and not on a network. My lack of understanding of the work and networking groups made me make a mess in the implementation

  I implemented 'users' as I could and now I find that in large part is loaded on my computer and I didn't need to have to deal with two identities to myself.  Can I fix or would it not be better to reinstall Windows a user, a set of files on all and the guest account will be switched off.  In addition, even though my computer says that it is a working group, the only internet connection I have is the LAN.  Can someone put me directly.

• Cannot delete the old folder separate disk windows

  I had a system OS 3 for a while, Vista, Win7 RC and Win7 Pro.

  Win7 RC is pleased and I want to delete records from his drive to free up space.

  I took possession of the folder (including subfolders) windows and my account is an administrator with full control account, BUT when I try to delete the old directory of windows first it says I need give permission, I click on continue, she goes through the files, and then a box indicates that I need permission from account owner Joan to continue.

  I'm logged into this account. This account is me, but when I click on continue, it says access denied.

  It's the same with the old directory program files.

  I can't delete, or the old directory of users.

  None of them is used. All are owned by mey account (there are only two accounts put in place on my PC and mine's administrator.)

  I am running windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed on my E drive.

  The files that I want to delete are on the c drive.

  How this computer to recognize that my admin account has full right, remove the obsolete operating system?

  Thank you

  Can archaeologist, you access the OS Win 7 RC?

  If so, use it "Folder Options" in the control panel.

  To all the "hidden files" readable.

  You say that you are the administrator, you should be able to do.

  You also try to remove Vista, as well?

  Do the same with this.

  Why you be "denied access" is... because these system files 'hidden '.

  Once this has been done, you can now in Win 7 (the one you want to keep!).

  In administrative tools, select 'Create and format hard disk partitions.

• Error in Windows Media Player, Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website

  I don't know how or why it happened, but one day to another, WMP won't open. I tried to open an MP3 file, and he says that WMP has not been correctly configured "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Website? ».

  I assumed that since I had to make some updates yesterday, that he was at fault, it had installed an update/new version of WMP and it was either buggy or doesn't work do not, so I went to the Windows updates, but no recent updates on the list had a remote connection with Windows Media Player.

  So, I accept the first proposal of the error message, and I'm headed to the Windows Media Player download page on the Microsoft Website. However, the version I should install (which was the one I already had) has Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7. But this option is locked for me, and as I tried to install it, it says it is not compatible with my system. Not to mention, it's a whole package and not just the WMP installation.

  I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It won't even let me uninstall WMP because it won't let me open.

  My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And the error messages that I get to try to launch any WMP feature (the tool, the installation program, no matter what), opens an error window stating that "there is a more recent version of Windows Media (12.0.7601.18150) player already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and more old (12.0.7601.17514) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader. »

  Please, I ask for any intervention in this case.

  This arises from time to time, but I don't think that there is a difficulty of 100%.

  You can try (in no particular order)

  1. uninstall, reboot, reinstall WMP- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ if that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow check - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
  2. There is this diagnostic tool - http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ that can help (from http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0 )
  3. You could try a system restore to a date before the problem occurred to see if that helps - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq#1TC=windows-7 and see if it gets a WMP work back
  4. Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
  5. Or just simply forget about WMP and try another party 3rd multimedia player that you can install and uninstall at will, as free VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

  But it may be worth waiting a while to see if someone else has a better solution.

• Backup utility Windows 7 application ' are you sure you want to remove the most recent data from the backup file "even if I'm trying to remove the backup set is not the most recent.

  I'm trying to reduce the amount of space that my Windows 7 backup uses so I've come to the place in Windows 7 backup:
  Manage space > view backups...

  I am then presented a list of three backup sets:
  01/03/2012 to 01/04/2012
  12/07/2011 to 12/21/2011
  23/11/2011 to 30/11/2011

  I would like to remove the older two, leaving the most recent. However, this doesn't seem to work as expected. If I try to delete one of the two most recent ones (the first two in the list above) I get the following warning "Are you sure you want to delete this backup file.

  However, if I try to delete the last one in the list, I get a slightly different error "Are you sure you want to remove the most recent data of the file backup?"-sounds strange because it is clearly not the most recent backup according to the dates it's show.

  Of course, I can go ahead and ignore the warnings, but I fear that maybe there are some files in the last backup the value in the list that may not be right more recent set backs.

  In 2011, I thought this might be something wrong with the date formats vs US UK (I am in England so the above dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format and not in jj/mm/aaaa) - but now it's 2012 and I backup from 2012 and 2011 games and he always seems to think that the oldest backup of 2011 is the most recent.

  Any ideas? Can I delete the oldest backup sets (that is, the two that are from 2011) safely?

  Any help much appreciated - thank you.

• "Configuration of the Windows updates failed. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer"error when you try to install Windows updates

  Original title: problems with updates

  I tried to install windows updates since the store won't let me update to 8.1 otherwise, but I've been miserably lacking 4 days in a row now. Commissioning Windows Update in Control Panel or the charm of parameters found 133 available updates and informs me that they will install automatically. If I then try to install progress remains at "downloading 0 KB", after a while updates are shown as installation. When the installation is completed I'm prompted to restart my pc. After the reboot if I'm greeted by the "Failure configuring Windows updates" screen for about an hour, then I'm able to reconnect to the desktop computer. I've been searching the forums for similar problems looking for an answer and trying different solutions, such as:

  Stop the update service then renaming or deleting the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. No positive results on this one.

  Using SFC and DISM, first came up with my system is clean, the second did find and fix corrupt elements of store, but the problem persists.

  Download the tool for troubleshooting Windows Update from Microsoft page, who reported finding and repairing problens with service, but again without success.

  Reduce the installed updates at a time, in the instance that Windows can't handle most of the many updates at the same time. I tried this and it seemed to go well, but a strange point of interest that is so annoying is that several edits I checked are installing somehow, even if it is the only example that shows the number of updates being installed before restarting. Yet I always comes to the same conclusion. Failure of Windows updates the screen. What should I do?

• I closed an email account so want to delete the profile of Thunderbird, so it does not look for new emails, but I want to access old emails.

  Hello

  I want to delete an old email address which is now closed from Thunderbird, but I want to keep the emails and have access to them.

  I can see how to remove an email account, but where the email go and how can I access them.

  I guess a solution would be to move all the emails to a folder in another account - this is the simplest option / best

  You can move all the messages on the account to delete your 'Local folders' account or any other account you may have.
  Notice, in the event that you move them to another account which is be a one IMAP, these messages would be uploaded to the server.

• I used all the memory in my iPad and you want to delete some pictures.  Any way to select a large number of photos for deletion at the same time, rather than individually?

  I can't find a way to the iPad to choose a large number of photos at the same time (similar to the use of the SHIFT key to select a group of files in windows).  I would like to delete a large number of photo files to save storage space can be used for the future taking pictures.  I wonder if there is an easier way to do that than to have to select and remove each file individually rather than delete them as a group.  By the way this should be done twice if you want immediate deletion.  There must be an easier way.  We appreciate and support.

  Open your photos > press Select > drag your finger through the photos you want to delete. To remove deleted lately, open the recently deleted album > press Select > tap Delete everything in the upper left corner. -AJ
