Now, Please tell me what should I do, Thanks.

Hi,
First of all, please run the command slmgr.vbs /dlv
After that, check the License status if it is licensed.
Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

  • IPhone: Accessing the user's lock screen background image

    Hi there,
    does anybody know if it is possible to access the image that a user has set as the background image that is displayed when he/she locks the screen?
    Would be very interesting to know.
    I appreciate any insights.
    Yours,

  • Can't change home screen background

    I have downloaded and installed iOS 4 software and have an iPhone 3G. When I try to select a picture to save as wallpaper it doesn't give the option to set it as my home screen background. Is this feature not available for iPhone 3G? If it is available how do you get it to work?

    I have the same iPhone 3G (the original iPhone) with the new 4.0 Software.
    You should be able to save your own picture as iPhone Wallpaper.
    Go to your iPhone Photos, iPhone Pictures. Tap the picture you wanted. On the bottom left of your iPhone screen, tap the boxed arrow icon. tap "Use as Wallpaper".
    2nd way to set iPhone wallpaper: First make sure the Picture is in your Photos on your iPhone. Then go to your Settings app, Wallpaper, iPhone pictures. Then you should see all your pictures that are saved on your iPhone 3G. Tap on the picture you want as your Wallpaper. Tap Set.

  • How can i change the screen name in my icould account?

    my Apple ID used to have my Dad's name because of the billing issues.. now is changed again to have my name, but i keep seeing that my account on icloud.com still says my dad's name, so if i try to send an email through there it says my dad's name and my email address instead of my name...
    how can i change the name that appears linked to my icloud account? (note that as i already sayd my Apple ID has my name now, i jsut want to know why is not my name in my icloud account?)
    thank you,

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
    (The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

  • Email name and user account pictures keep changing

    My wife and I share contacts and calendars using my iCloud account. She syncs her notes and reminders using her iCloud account. This seems to work fine, but a problem has arisen that I suspect is related to this setup that I don't know how to resolve. When I send an email from my iCloud account it now has a from address of "my wife's name <[email protected]>" instead of "my name <[email protected]>". Also the account login picture for my Mac's user account has been replaced with hers. The latter I can reset (I don't know how to fix the former) but eventually the problem seems to recur.  I'm not sure if this is related but our contacts list identifies my address book card with the "this is me" tag.

    #1 I am 99.5% sure (but only 99.5% if you aren't a gambling man) that when you delete a user's account using the accounts preferences all their stuff gets put into a "deleted users" folder in the users directory on the computer, so it is still all there until you trash that folder. Their account is gone but their files are still around.
    #2 I don't actually have an "applications" folder in my account, there is just one at the main directory level, so I don't think each user necessarily has one by default. However, each user has a bunch of preferences so when I start an application it comes up with my preferences. Another user will have the application come up with their preferences. That's not to say I couldn't have an application in my account area, but I could in theory have an application tucked away in any folder or subfolder and not readily identifiable as such. Any applications not in the general applications folder usually won't be accessable to other users so unless you're logging as that old user you may not even know about applications there.

  • How can I delete user account picture in Windows 8?

    I have set my account picture, but now want to delete the pic and back to the default.
    How can I do it?

    Hello,
    The userpic, the image tiles used for your account picture, is located, in different resolutions, in the following folder: C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\%UserAccountSecurityIdentifier%
    where %UserAccountSecurityIdentifier% is a placeholder for the Security IDentifier (SID) assigned by the operating system or domain controller to your user account.
    Here is how it looks like:
    NOTE: If your are using multiple account for login to your computer, like local Security Account Manager (SAM) account (standard account created and stored on your local PC in NTFS), your Microsoft Account (the one using internet account name provided
    by Microsoft such as [email protected],
    [email protected]), or an Active Directory account, please open root C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\ folder and browse to the folder with the name of the SID assigned to your user account for which you want to change the user picture.
    To find out what SID refers to what user account name used on your PC, proceed with the following:
    Start the elevated command prompt by pressing WindowsKey+Q and typing
    cmd, then hitting Enter.
    At the command prompt type: wmic useraccount get name,sid and press
    Enter.
    This will return a table with all user accounts registered on this computer (that is those who had once logged onto this PC) and their corresponding SIDs.
    Now lookup this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users
    And locate the subkey (named correspondingly to the desired SID), then remove REG_SZ values that contain paths to the userpic images to remove traces of userpics.
    WARNING: Please create new system restore point before making this registry change!
    Hope this helps.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

  • How can i change my Browser background image size in Iweb???

    Hello,
    I am trying to upload a picture to use in iweb as browser background which will be fixed.
    The problem is that when i upload the image it doesn’t appear in full. It zooms in a portion of the image.
    This is really annoying and have been trying to change it for days.
    Have a look and it might give you a better idea http://www.inthepocketdrumstudio.com
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you. A

    I really do not know what resizing the browser windows means.
    Perhaps I must go back to school again.
    Ah, I remember. Drag the bottom right-hand corner of the browser window to resize it.
    Anyway, here's the widget page :
    http://www.inthepocketdrumstudio.com/InThePocketDrumStudio_files/widget0_markup. html
    You should move the image out of the InThePocketDrumStudio_files folder.
    With the code i provided the image will display in the webpage.
    Also remove the image as background in iWeb.

  • Lock Screen Custom Image Stuck on Load for Windows 8.1

    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image.  I tried re-applying it but the lock screen preview in the settings is stuck on a load loop.  Does anyone know why that is and why it won't set my custom image as the
    new lock screen image?

    Hi all,
    I've experienced the same issue and it disappeared after doing some weird steps.
    First about the problem:
    I have Surface Pro tablet, updated to Windows 8.1 many months ago. However yesterday this issue happened for the first time (not sure what triggered it) and continued today as well, even after restarting:
    - Charms bar > Settings > Personalize. Click on background color or Accent color palette to try to change color: the pane and Start menu behind freezes and doesn't react on anything except for pressing Windows button on tablet, that throws back to
    desktop. But when you return to that menu it appears the color has been changed after all (as much as could have been done in one click before it froze).
    - Can't change lock screen: I didn't move the image selected there and previous images, they are still located at the same folder. But after selecting an image loading wheel spins and image never updates.
    Fix:
    After reading here that this replicates with account picture for some people, I wanted to check this on my tablet as well. My account picture shown the current image and 2 previous images to the right. When clicking first of those, nothing changed. When
    clicking on the second one it shown the image from the first selected as account picture, and vice versa - when clicking on the first again it shown the second pic selected as account picture. After browsing and selecting other image, it didn't update in account
    picture, but after going out from the menu and back again it appeared that the account image updated after all.
    After that all started working normal again - can select account picture, change lock screen and personalize without problems. Weird, but it worked.

    and you'll see I'm still waiting and that it's still this way after being assured it would be fixed.
    It's not so much it wasn't done but that I was told it would be and it wasn't.

  • Where can I find the default lock screen background / 10.3.1

    Hi,
    this might be a silly question, I'd love to use the default lock screen background that came with 10.3.1 (the one below) as my main background as well, but I can't find it on my phone.
    Does anyone know where it is stored? (not in 'protected_media/wallpapers', apparently :-( )
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    That's your carrier default wallpaper, you can get it by going to options, display, then click on the advanced button, which looks like an equaliser and then click 'reset to carrier wallpaper'.
    Regards.

    You can't go to System Preferences>Desktop&Screen Savers and change the display? Try it and see. I've never seen that problem.

  • How can I erase the residual background text and images from the backside of a scanned page?

    How can I erase the residual background text and images from the backside of a scanned page?
    Also, I wanted to know what each subscriptions included as far as my question above is concerned?
    I am trying to edit a scanned page (pdf file) by changing some words and erasing the background from the page that is showing through it since the paper is so thin and want to know which subscription to buy in order to complete these tasks?

    This cannot be done in Reader. I think you will need software like Photoshop. You may be able to get buy with Photoshop Elements, but I haven't used recent versions of that software. Using either software this will not be an automated task.

  • How do we change the Yosemite lock-screen background?

    How do we change the Yosemite lock-screen background?
    Would like it to match our desktop.
    At present, lock-screen appears to be a blurred version of one of the standard Yosemite desktops.

    It typically uses your Screen Saver definition in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver tab.
    Or I'm misunderstanding the question...

  • Can I change the Screen colour and font size?

    Can I change the screen colour and font size?

    Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultAnimalPhotos
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultFlowerPhotos
    Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.
