Downloads and interference

Why is it that when I responded to a Microsoft upgrade to 8.1 all my system went into meltdown, my passwords were all ......up and then a few days later microsoft blocked my Skype system with a switch request for a new password to Skype which I couldn't
get rid of or bypass, so when I did switch I now can't access my account or retrieve my contacts without deleting my Skype account!! I am so fed up with Microsoft and the continual bombardment of rubbish and unwanted/unrequired interference which is forced
down my gullet and which then, causes me so many problems with access and changed password details that make me want to throw all my equipment out of the windows (excuse the pun)!!!

Hi Macfarlane,
I understand how you feels, according to your description, do you mean that you have some problems about Microsoft Account? If you have, then I suggest you reset the password to ensure the security.

  • Good wireless in house, slow Apple TV in downloads and syncing.  ATV issue?

    OK - I just did a internet Ping test and bandwidth test and have found that my overall bandwidth is good, but my ATV is still very slow on downloads and syncing.
    My bandwidth is over 6.6mbps and ping rates are nearly 45ms.
    Here is my issue - I often have no images show up on ATV when I am browsing the movies. I also have to restart for lack of response to the remote about every other day, sometimes every day.
    Am I looking at my wireless in the house (running Time Capsule) or is this an ATV issue? I have good overall connectivity and internet downloads via iTunes, etc.
    Your insight is appreciated.

    You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
    I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
    Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
    I don't really follow your next point.
    instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
    Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.

  • Why does my app store use a different account for downloading and another for updating apps?

    My app store used my own account for downloading and my sister's for updating, and it keeps telling me to reset my account. I already did that the other few times it told me to do that!

    Have you restored your device from your sister's backup?

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Window 8.1 Chinese character cannot display properly in a game even though I have downloaded and install all chinese language packs

    Hi,
    The operation system for my computer is Window 8.1. I am currently trying to install a chinese game. Even though I have downloaded and install all the chinese language pack, I have even set the regional language locale to chinese (similified / traditional),
    the chinese characters will not display properly in the game. Some people told me i need to set the locale to Chinese PRC, but I am not sure where to download this PRC language pack for window 8.1 (as I only have chinese simplified and chinese traditional).
    I would greatly appreciate if someone can give me a hand in solving this problem. Thank you for your help in advance.

  • I am trying to re load Lightroom 5.7 frommy outside hard drive to my new hard drive . I am able to reach a certain point in the download and I am then asked for the access code which I do not have. I had upgraded on line from Lightroom3.

    Hello,
    I just had the hard drive on my computer replaced, and the Lightroom5.7 and Photoshop cannot be sent over from the outside hard drive without an access code!! Now what do I do? Will Adobe have a record of my Lightroom3 download and my 5.7 upgrade?

    If you took the time to register your software on the Adobe web site, then you can log on and retrieve your serial numbers.
    Find your serial number quickly
    You ought to be able to retrieve the serial numbers from your first hard drive ... that requires knowing what your operating system is and if the first hard drive actually is readable.
    And if none of that works ... well then I think you're way out of luck.
    Might I suggest you adopt a new method of keeping track of your serial numbers, not just for Lightroom but all of your software? I suggest you create a computer text file named serialnumbers.txt, containing all of your serial numbers, stored on your computer and in a cloud backup service (like DropBox which is free) so that you will never lose it.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • Firefox prompted me to download an incompatible update that its website claims is compatible with my operating system (Mac OS 10.4.11). Why prompt an incompatible download AND claim it is compatible?

    I have an iMac and use OS 10.4.11 & Firefox 3.6.19. Firefox prompted me to download an update (to 7.0.1). I looked up the system requirements on your website, and it stated the update is compatible with OS 10.4.11. But after I downloaded and installed the update, it failed to work on grounds of incompatibility. Hence 2 questions: (1) Why did Firefox prompt me to download an incompatible update? (2) Why did your website claim the update is compatible with my operating system when it is not?

    Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
    There is a separate project for PPC Macs called Ten Four Fox. You might give it a spin when you're tired of 3.6.

  • Adobe Store takes too long to deliver download and serial information

    Earlier this week we received some Indesign files for a job, but they were in Indesign 5 format, so we were unable to open them with Indesign CS4. So, taking this as a sign that it was time to upgrade, yesterday, at around 1pm UK time I purchased the upgrade from Creative Suite Design Premium 4 to Creative Suite Design Premium 5.5. I logged onto the Adobe.com store, looked at the options - Home and Home Business, Small and Medium Business, Eductation and selected Small and Medium Business (because that is what we are). I purchased the upgrade (as a download), received a confirmation email from Adobe and waited....and waited...and waited. At the end of the day I called Adobe Custopmer support and asked why I have not had any email showing links to download sites, and serial numbers. I was told it can take 24 hrs to process the order.
    Well here we are over 24 hrs later and I have still not had any information from Adobe. I tried calling the customer support and it is only open between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. The customer support website is down. The Adobe Volume Licensing site is down - and was all day yesterday as well.
    In the meantime I have no way of opening the files. My deadline is Wednesday and we had planned to work on the job today and tomorrow (which is why I am sitting in my office now). It appears I cannot access customer support before Monday morning, and the customer support website is down until tomorrow evening UK time - at least. This means working all night on Monday and probably Tuesday - assuming we get access to the download information early Monday.
    Adobe is one of the biggest software vendors in the world. When I buy software - online and for download, with a credit card - I expect to be able to access the software immediately. There is no excuse for this delay. None. A business the size of Adobe should not have customer services down for 2 days. Support should run 24/7, 365 days a year. My enquiry yesterday was routed to an offshore call centre, so having a 9 to 5 cut off is simply ridiculous.
    The simple fact is that even the smallest software vendors we buy from deliver the goods within minutes. As you can tell I am mightily "annoyed" by this. At this point in time I am wishing these files were in Quark Xpress format (we have both). Quark used to have terrible support but they are now very good - and available.
    As a customer of Adobe for over 15 years I am disappointed. Today, in my email inbox I have emails from Adobe about new online cloud services. Well, why would I want to invest any more in Adobe software if I cannot even access the ones I have bought - quickly?
    If companies like Adobe want to know why piracy is rife - look at your own delivery systems. The only option I have now to do this job is to either download a pirated version (which I will not) or to download and run the trial for Indesign.  How stupid is that?
    Apologies for the rant.

    Hi Kevin, not sure why it's taken longer than usual, but you can just download the free trial in the meantime.  It will work 100% for 30 days, and you can convert it over to the full version once you receive your permanent serial number without reinstalling.  This is fine even with a business license.
    There's really no reason not to proceed in this fashion, especially with an imminent deadline.  Adobe recommends this in cases where there is any sort of delay (for example, student validation) or immediate need.  And absolutely you should avoid downloading the software from anywhere else, which is not only illegal but also hazardous to the health of your computer (malware).
    Hope this helps!
    Acrobat has never had a Trial for Mac. Probably never will.

  • Adobe Acrobat Download and Reinstall on New Computer

    I purchased and installed Adobe X back in Feb.  But I would now like to download and install on another computer. I can find the product code but how do I access the download file for installation on another computer?

    So the old computer bit the dust?  If that is the case and this is Acrobat X Pro then it's just a matter of downloading the Trial version.  The Trial version will accept your serial number.  If this is Acrobat X Standard and you don't have access to the original download link that you were sent then you need to contact Adobe Customer Service.

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
