A few questions that I can't find the answers to

I have done a search online but can't find answers, so wondering if someone could help.
1. The phone doesn't seem to be automatically backing anything up to SkyDrive even though it's set to do that. I assume it can't back up from the SD card but what about text messages that should be stored in phone memory?
2. Is it possible to automtaically back up photos and videos from the SD card to SkyDrive?
3. How do I check if my internet is connecting to wifi or GPS? (as I dont want to unnecessarily be paying for GPS). Sometimes I can't see the icons at the top of the screen.
Thanks

Here's your questions;
1. The phone doesn't seem to be automatically backing anything up to SkyDrive even though it's set to do that. I assume it can't back up from the SD card but what about text messages that should be stored in phone memory? 
2. Is it possible to automtaically back up photos and videos from the SD card to SkyDrive?
 The answers are;
1. You do not have direct access to anything backed up except for media files. A backup will restore when you register a (new) phone with the same Microsoft account. This means you will not find your backed up text messages on the Skydrive linked to your Microsoft account.
2. The pictures backup process will backup any photo or video you take on the phone once it is saved. For videos and best quality photos a Wi-Fi connection is required. It isnot relevant whether you have setup the phone to save images to SD card or internal strage.
If you do not see photos taken appear on SkyDrive even if you have set up the option correctly (see below) There's probably some external reason it's not working. I doubt it has anything to do with the phone.

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

    Try this as a first step;<BR><BR>
    Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"'''''<BR><BR>
    and<BR><BR>
    Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"'''''<BR><BR>
    If there is still a problem,
    '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
    While you are in safe mode;
    '''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.

  • I cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried redownloading it but it still gave me the same message?

    i cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried downloading it again but it still gave me the same message. the problem has nothign to do with my internet because it wonks on internet explorer and everythign is fine, my computer just can't access firefox for some reason. i tried uninstallign ti adn then installing it again, but that didnt work, i tried installing a different version and it still didnt work.
    okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
    i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

    can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.

  • HT1923 I can't uninstall or update iTunes. I get an error message that it can't find the file itunes64.msi.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • All of my music is on an external hard drive and now I can't play any of my songs...it says that it can't find the file. How do i fix this problem?

    I have all of my music saved on an external hard drive.  Now I can't play my music...it says that it can't find the location.  I think I need to re install all of my music but I'm not sure how to do it?

    go iTunes > preferences > advanced and temporarily disable the copy files ... when adding option.
    from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
    when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.

  • A lot of my music is on an external Hard Drive, currently "H" drive.  When I try to play a song in the Library in Itunes I get the message that it can't find the music.  Info says it's in a different location "G" Drive.  But it's not. it's in "H" Drive.

    What if you take this same topic of an external hard drive with music but instead of directly attached to the computer the music is on a Network Attached hard drive(NAS)? Will I be able to add music to my ipod without any problem? Step that up a notch, will the two computers on my network be able to recognize the music on the NAS? Will the two users be able to create their own playlists and update their ipods independently? Now step up that up one more notch, will I be able to do this with one PC running XP and my macbook with OS X?
    Before I run out and buy a NAS I want to be certain. I also would like to convert my DVD library in the future and put it on the network available to an AppleTV or other UpNp media player in the future, because I love having power at my finger tips.

  • I've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

    i've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

    I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!

  • This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

    Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
    Hope this helps,
