Build 10049 missing accessories in all apps

I finally got build 10049 installed yesterday evening, and tried out quite a bit of it. Today though I hit the start and clicked on all apps and the accessories group was gone. I wanted to use the 'run' to do a few commands, but since it was gone I couldn't
do anything. Has anyone else had the problem of the accessories missing in this build? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I don't have an Accessories grouping either, but Win Key+R or right-click
on the Start button will give you access to Run. In addition, anything you
can run from Run can also be run from the Command Prompt.

  • Hulu Plus app gives (DJ1) error on launch after updating to Build 10049 (UPDATE: It's still not working on 10061)

    I've been using the Hulu Plus app in the Windows 10 preview since Build 9926, and it has always launched and worked correctly.  While there was an occasional stutter or random CTD, it was an acceptable level of performance.  Now, since installing
    Build 10049 (and now 10061), the app does not successfully launch.  When the tile is clicked, the app opens for less than 2 seconds before giving the generic (DJ1) error.
    All of my audio and video drivers are up-to-date.  I've removed and re-installed Silverlight.  I've even run the appropriate DISM and SFC commands in order to clean up any residual issues.  Is this problem occurring due to a change in the
    latest Build, or is there something more I can do to resolve the problem?

    Hi all,

  • How do I get all Apps to appear in list to download in CC Desktop?  (Premier and others missing)

    How do I get all Apps to appear in list to download in CC Desktop?  (Premier and others missing)
    For instance, when I click download from the website for After Effects, it asks to use the CC desktop app and again, that AE is missing from the list.  Help.

    Thank you.  I was unaware that I needed to run 64 Bit OS; only that I needed to run Windows 7.  I have access to another machine that runs Win 7, 64 bit.  Looks like I'll have to use it for video applications (Pr, AE, etc).

  • I successfully unlocked my iPhone 4S (AT&T, iOS 7.0.2) and many apps are missing. Went to app store and updated all apps. If I manually update a single app it will show up. Solution to get all apps back in place?

  • Update all apps missing

    Suddenly "update all apps" is missing?? Causing me to have to update updated apps individually. Don't know where it went! But updating updated apps individually is not a fun thing to do. How this could "disappear" I find rather strange.

    It's still there for me (iOS 5.0.1), I used it a couple of hours ago.
    Have you tried closing the App Store app completely and then re-opening it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Windows Preview Build Settings Missing/Unavailable from Build 10049

    The Preview Build settings has been missing from 10049. I have tried doing Windows Update registry change to enable that option in the Windows Update through settings and also through the control panel but still no success. Please tell me how can i look
    upto that?

    The Windows Registry version trick doesnt work in build 10049 and after runnning the registry script also there is no windows update option available. You cant just manually select updates to install. Its really a tough job updating your computer. 
    Moreover, the concept of fast rings and slow rings when a product is under development is useless as the latest updates should be processed simultaneously for everyone and the users should be allowed to download the ISO of the latest builds released on fast
    rings via windows update. The windows update mechanisms should be changed.

  • My ipod touch 4g is missing alot of important apps like settings, music, itunes store, app store and many more and i was wondering if there is any way at all to fix this for free or less than 70 dollars

    My ipod touch 4g is missing alot of important apps like settings, music, itunes store, app store and many more and i was wondering if there is any way at all to fix this for free or less than 70 dollars

    First try using Spotlight Search to find Settings.  If that works go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Settings.  If you can't get to Settings:
    Try a reset:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work do a restore from backup or to factory settings:

  • Close all apps button missing Xperia Z3

    After I updated to Lollipop, the "close all" button in recent apps has disappeared.Strange to take away features in a "update", isn't it?

    I found some issues in Xperia Z3 5.0.2 update and want to share with Sony Xperia Z3 software DevelopersPlease send it to Xperia Z3 software developers. 
    1- Device Freeze sometime when we open a game.
    First issue that I am facing is that some time when we start a game device freeze and nothing happened i have to force restart the device to fix it
    I face it on different games and believe me games are fully compatible with Lollipop, working fine on my Brother Note 4 lollipop.
    Sony may need to fix the GPU drivers libs files in system. I am talking about this issue after examining every thing and it is surly related with software. 2- No Close all button in recent panel.
    In Kitkat we have a close all button in recent app panel to close all apps at once, but no button in Lollipop. 3- No Camera Raw Capture in Stock & support for third party apps.
    Lollipop it self have a feature to capture pictures in Raw format, but it seems Sony remove this feature from their update and also block it for third party camera apps and they are not able to get the permission from mobile to capture in Raw.
    Please Sony If you don't want to give this feature in your stock camera app its fine for me, but at-least put this feature back in lollipop so that we can take picture in Raw with third party camera apps 4- No Stereo Ringtone Sound.
    When some one call us then ringtone start ringing, and ring sound only come from bottom speaker more louder then very very low from top speaker.
    You need to modify the sound files in system/etc/tfa98xx folder to fix this issue. 5- Device Getting slow charging
    In Kitkat my z3 charged faster then the lollipop.
    I can conform that i am using Sony Z3 Original charger for charge my device, and their is no issue in charger.
    I am talking about this issue after examining every thing that it is surly related with software. 6- Device heating up more in 5.0.2 as compare to 4.4.4 while heavy usage
    This will fix also when Sony Fix GPU drivers libs files in system as describe up, in note # (1) 7- Battery Drain is faster then the kitkat
    I do not want to explain it more, because as I describe up their is an issue regarding Device heating up because of system files and obviously Battery drain is also faster then normal. 8- About Volume and Notifications
    8.1- Some time my media sound automatically decrease from settings/sound & notification / Media Volume.
    8.2- When silent mode off and interruptions are allowed for Notification even then some time my phone remain silent at the time of arrival of notifications.  Please send it to Xperia Z3 software developers

  • After Upgrade to Yosemite, all apps are slow.

    I upgraded to Yosemite  and all applications are slow.  ( as e.g.. starting to type in this box give me beachball for 2 seconds initially) A big difference in speed from Mavericks to Yosemite. Opening system preferences takes 3 seconds to load, and clicking on Users & Groups takes 25 seconds to open.
    I do not have fire vault enabled.  I did a safe boot and some apps did appear to open faster. Also did a repair disk and rebooted.  No change. When Safari is open it takes 5 seconds to open a new window.   I ran EtreCheck and the report is as follows;
    Thanks for any help;( After pasting the EtreCheck text file, I clicked on this box to add the Thanks... , it took 2-3 seconds for the beach ball to stop spinning.)

    You could do that, but when setting up your new iMac it is a much better idea to transfer only your existing User Accounts. In other words when Setup Assistant appears, de-select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" and "Other files and folders". That way you will eliminate the possibility of reinstalling potentially incompatible software from your existing Mac or its TM backup. It's best to create new printer queues and preferences anyway.
    Your venerable HP 1012 will probably work without any difficulty but if you need its driver download it here. If it gives you trouble try OS X's generic PostScript driver.
    After configuring your user account, install original versions of your essential software from their original sources. In other words if you installed them via download from the developer's website, download them again. You might need license keys so gather them. Obviously the Mac App Store makes things easy since anything you obtain from there is already linked to your Apple ID and is easily reinstalled by going to your Purchases page.
    Don't reinstall things like AppCleaner, CleanMyMac, Western Digital "Smartware" or any of that junk. You don't need it. MacFUSE is outdated. Research Prolific Technology for potential updates for their serial controller. The one you have may work, or not, but you should re-download its driver.
    Consider abandoning Microsoft altogether and migrating to better solutions such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. They are all free with a purchase of a new Mac and are far more integrated with OS X than anything Microsoft will ever be able to accomplish.
    The Burr-Brown USB device is unknown to me, so research TI's website for support if you need it.
    If your essential software was distributed on optical media, you can use OS X's "DVD or CD sharing" feature to remotely mount the older iMac's optical drive so that you can install its software. It will work as though that drive were physically installed on your new Mac. Having said that, anything that was distributed on optical media is highly likely to have been outdated a long time ago.
    If your essential software is old, orphaned, no longer supported, or is no longer available, meaning you have the only viable copy, the only option is to transfer it from the TM backup or older Mac. In that case be very cognizant of the likelihood for incompatibility, and have a plan for uninstalling it should it cause adverse effects. Creating a new TM backup is the way to do that. A new external HD dedicated to the new Mac is a cheap investment. When you are certain you no longer require the older Mac's TM backup, you can erase it and use it as an additional, redundant TM backup or "clone" repository – whichever you decide is best for your backup needs.

  • Is there a way I can view all apps I have ever downloaded?

    Is there a way I can view all apps I have ever downloaded? Like some sort of historical list associated to my account?
    It would help a great deal- I restored my phone from a backup after my iphone crashed- but I had downloaded many apps since then, so now I have to re-download all the missing apps. Thing is I cant remember all of them?
    Anone else have the same problem?

    Have you never synced your phone? Syncing puts copies of each app into iTunes for you to manage and have available to sync over when you want.
    Other than that, in iTunes, from top menus (forget which one, think under help) you can access your account and then view purchase history.

  • Win 8.1 update - sound popping / glitch in MetroTube and all APPS when scrubbing video

    My phone Nokia 1020 was working fine. I then downloaded the over the air update for Win 8.1 and Cyan on Thursday 7th August from O2.
    Since then I have experienced a loud popping / static noise when playing video in all apps (except StoryTeller)
    Using built-in speaker:
    When I play video in any App with a video scrubber and I scrub the time-line and realise the scrubber it makes a loud click or static pop.
    It happens in everything including:
    Mytube
    Metrotube
    Tubepro
    Photos App (i.e Microsoft one - playing a recorded video in they all now have a loud click / static pop)
    Xbox Video App (i.e Microsoft's own App)
    Using Headphones:
    There is no load click (It plays how it used to)
    The odd bit is using the speaker and playing music tracks (mp3s etc) and scrubbing there is no static popping click it plays fine.
    Video In Web Browser Fine:
    Playing YouTube Videos in the web brower there is no popping / static click noise.
    I have just downloaded 'xVideo' App and played a HD Music video in it and used scrubber and there is NO loud click.
    Sound Glitches in Audio Clips at end of recordings in all these Apps:
    Babbel - Learn Spanish
    Coolang - Learn Spanish
    Zeemish - Learn Spanish for Beginners
    its really annoying and makes trying to listen and remember pronunciation of words difficult and frustrating. Phone was ok before Microsoft Windows 8.1 update now have this issue and issue with static build-up causing popping when fast forwarding through
    videos. :( I am feed up
    Conclusion:
    This is software bug? please can anyone help/advise me on how to fix this and if anyone else is having same glitch with 8.1 update :(
    All I can think of to fix is to somehow downgrade to Windows 8 if that's possible? :( *update its not possible using Nokia Recovery as it puts back Win 8.1.
    It is a Software bug introduced in Windows Phone 8.1 update. It effects everything! including
    Microsofts own Video Xbox App and
    Photo App. See other people frustrations on this issue, its been going on since April!!!! please can you fix this is ruining my Windows Phone experience:

    Hello,
    You should ask in the
    Windows Phone forums on the Microsoft Community forums.
    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

  • Price Difference: Out of box w/ Missing Accessories vs Out of box w/o Missing Accessories?

    Hello
    Ok, so I need some help. 
    Last night, I purchased a Samsung 55" TV out of box. When I went home to install my brand new (used) TV. It was missing the power cord! After further examination, it was also missing the IR Extender Cable and the batteries. 
    On the label, it said it was "no missing accessories" but unfortunately, it was missing some key accessories to run the tv. I talked to the store and they were unable to provide me with the missing accessories and that I had to buy them individually and despite being labeled as "no missing accessories," that's the true cost of the TV. 
    My question, is that price correct, would there be a price difference if a out of box tv had all the accessories vs not having all the accessories? 
    I just want to make sure I paid the true value of the TV. As I see it, the TV may have been priced based on all the accessories but since the TV is missing accessories, the price of the TV may be different.
    Your thoughts?

    Hello ItsJTP, 
    Open box items are a great way to save on some of your favorite devices! It is sad to hear that this experience may not have met your expectations or been what we hope for our customers purchasing such items. I am sorry for any concern this may have caused you. 
    Open box items should be marked appropriately for any missing pieces or accessories, and then priced accordingly. With that said, unfortunately I am unable to know whether this was priced correctly, and missing accessories listed incorrectly, or if the missing accessories were listed incorrectly and thus the price was not appropriate. 
    With the information registered with the forum, I was unable to locate your purchase to review it. I am sending you a private message to gather further information in regards to this inquiry.

  • Need to Backup all App's and Files to move to a newer powerbook g4

    Apple wants me to send in my p.book mostly due to hot spots on the screen. They said they will have to wipe it clean and may wind up just sending me a new p.book. I don't know if they will just send a refurbished p.book that is the exact same model and version as the obe I have (which is 2.25 years old-purchased Oct. 2003), or if they will send me one of the newer p.books with newer hardware and configuraations such as a different graphics card. (If anyone has any idea on this, please let me know). Anyways, I am a designer and have alot of time-consuming files on my mac. As you may assume, I am quite worried about the idea of wiping my computer clean and relying on a Backup to preserve everything. I don't know much about backup/restore softwre, but I was hoping to do what I have heard referred to as a "Mirror Image" type of backup to my WD 120GB external drive. I want to make this process as easy as possible, and am looking for reccomendations of software that will "clone" my current p.book so that I can simply restore to my new p.book and all my app's will be up and running and executable immediately from the restore without having to re-install all app's. I basically want my new p.book to be exactly the same as my soon to be older one (with all the same settings and configurations that took so long to set up over the years). I have heard of Carbon Copy Cloner and Norton's Ghost. How do Mac users genrally go about this when switching to a new system? I have been using Retrospect Express which comes with Western Digital drives, but one tech at WD told me it is not meant to restore to a different/newer system b/c of things like the graphics card, and other 2.25 year newer hardware that will require different drivers. I am worried that if I restore from the wrong software, many of my devices will not be functional due to different drivers/configurations that were not part of the restore I did. I am pretty sure that this will happen if I use the Disk Utility to create a disk image of my hard drive on my external, and then drag it over to my new p.book b/c this seems like it will erase the new p.book's hard drive including the OS 1st, and then simply darg the disk image onto it (which will include my old OS). Although both OS's I am speaking of will be 10.4 Tiger, the older b.up of Tiger will be configured with drivers for the hardware configurations on th elder p.book, and the newer Tiger on the new p.book (with the appropriate drivers and configurations for the new p.book) will be erases and replaced with innappropriately configured Tiger. Does this make any sense? Or is it actually much simpler than this? As you can see, I have never switched systems b4, and just want to make sure I backup using the right software. Any suggestions?
    PS-Since I am missing some of my app. cd's, with Macintosh, are u able to just drag the app. folders and drop them on your new Mac and they are fully executable? In other words, are all Mac compatible programs self contained within their app. folder, and they can be simply dragged and dropped without having to be installed? Or is it that some apps can, and other mac apps have to be installed/restored from b.up software?
    Sorry for the long nature of this situation : (
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Answer to this: it doesn't work. I tried it; my hard drive started having issues and I did "backups" in this way by dragging and dropping the applications to DVDs. By the time I bought an external HD a couple of days later, I couldn't use my laptop at all anymore, and after replacing the laptop's HD I tried to use the DVDs with copies of the applications. And they did NOT work. Ultimately I only lost a few things--.Mac's Freefall is the only thing that comes to mind right now--but reinstalling all the applications from original disks or from downloads (and tracking down the purchase receipts!) was very time-consuming. Fortunately the folks at the store just shrugged and put iLife back on the system for me, since I had no idea how to extract it off the disks that came with the computer.
    I think dragging and dropping did work with A FEW things, but only with basic stuff like Widgets.
    Hopefully if/ when disaster strikes again, the cloned drive I now have will make everything much easier. I'm using SuperDuper and it seems to work well enough.
    Oh, and I had all my photos/ music/ pictures/ documents/ calendars/ address books/ keychains/ mail backed up in a variety of ways: simply burnt to disk, or burnt to disk using .Mac's backup, or on iDisk. I got all that stuff back without difficulty. The applications were the hassle and so far as I can tell, the applications are what make cloning essential.
