Home PC Workgroup Used to Work

I've had Verizon FIOS for a couple of years now, no problems. I had my two home PCs on a workgroup so that I could share files and printers, and that worked fine too.
Recently I had problems with my router, Verizon sent me a new one, and it works fine for connecting to the internet.
The only problem is, I can no longer see one PC from the other one, like I used to. Given that the only variable, the only thing that changed, was the router, I figured it had to be the router settings or something, right?
So I called Verizon, and was told no, it can't be that, and recommended that I try and re-do the workgroup connections as if they were new. Which I did, and of course that didn't change anything.
Does anyone have any advice here? Like I said, this worked perfectly fine for a couple of years with my prior Verizon Actiontec router, now doesn't work with the new one.
Thanks for any help.

Vista has new software related to identification of other computers in a workgroup: "Link Layer Topology Discovery". You have to add it to XP installations for them to work in association with A Vista machine. You can find it by going to MS Vista knowledge and querying,or by installing SP3. Here is an article that explains this.
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9019179&pageNumber...
This worked for many months. However, I noticed recently that my Vista Machines can all find and display each other, but not my XP machines ( in other words, something has changed to restore the original problem with having XP and Visa machines in a workgroup). I doubt that this is related to FIOS, as it worked perfectly with FIOS for many months and suddenly stopped. I am pretty sure it is not my SW firewalls and have come to assume that is its something Microsoft did in one of their updates that had this collateral (and not intended) effect.

Can't move "completed" items into folders using Outlook 2013 on a Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium Account using a work Exchange 2010 address

I've been in touch with several Microsoft support teams about this issue, and the latest move was to shove me off onto Pro support, but since I'm using a personal Office account, I'm hoping that through the community I can find a way to resolve this issue without
escalating through our IT department. I do not think this is an Exchange issues because I have previously used this product and method without resulting in this error on a Windows 7 32-bit AMD computer and a Windows 8 and 8.1 Professional 64-bit Intel computer.
Here's my current specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, service pack 1
AMD A6-5400 3.6 GHz
8GB RAM
Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium
Office updates automatically, version 15.0.4551.1512
About Outlook shows "Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4551.1511) MSA (15.0.4551.1508) 32-bit/Part of Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium"
Here's how to reproduce the issue:
1) Open View Settings
2) Select "Other Settings..."
3) Disable "Use compact layout in widths smaller than XX characters" and enable "Always use single-line layout"
4) Select "Columns..."
5) Under "All Mail fields" add "In folder"
6) Select any email
7) Context-menu -> Find Related -> Emails in this Conversation
8) Select "more"
9) Sort by folder
10) Select all messages from Inbox.
11) Use Outlook's preset "Done" function and select a destination folder
12) Watch Outlook fail to run "Done" and reset your UI without producing an error.
The first attempt to resolve this issue was to set up a new Outlook profile. This seemed to exacerbate the problem and resulted in Outlook providing an "Unknown error" before resetting the UI.
The second attempt to resolve this issue was to run "outlook.exe /resetnavpane". However, the nav pane does not appear immediately relevant to this issue.
The following similar steps also result in a crash, this time with an error:
11) Flag all select message as Complete.
12) Move all messages from Inbox to a destination folder.
This change in procedure results in the error "Cannot move the items. Some items cannot be moved. They were either already moved or deleted, or access was denied."
Help me, Microsoft Community. You're my only hope.

Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

How can I set the opening home page of FIrefox to display the current bookmarks. This used to work with bookmarks.html but I understand this file is no longer current.

I wish to display my current bookmarks as my opening home page in Firefox. I do not wish to use the Bookmarks sidebar instead. It used to work to open with bookmarks.html, which was and still is stored in my Firefox profile. However, I understand this file is no longer kept current but is only retained for legacy/compatibility reasons, and that the current bookmarks info is now stored in places.sqlite, etc. Is there a way with the new versions of Firefox to display as a full opening webpage the assuredly current bookmarks? Thank you

Hi Jaime,
Are you saying, you are getting junk characters in the email attachment? Then pls check the following. Since you want to send Japanese fonts, please pass language 'J' in both objpack-obj_langu = '3' & doc_chng-obj_langu = '3' instead of '3' please replace it with 'J'.
Another thing which you may have to check is the SCOT device type. As I understand from my basis colleague, this may also affect your attachment fonts since the emails are sent through SCOT. Go to transaction SCOT-> Settings-> Device types for format conversion. Check whether wrong device type is defined for Japanese there. Hope this helps

Gokul

HT4352 I have followed all the instructions on home sharing and it used to work perfectly. With the new apple OS upgrade my apple TV now longer sees anything, even though I I applied all home sharing settings again. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am trying to get home sharing to work on the applie tv and its not working after a Mac OS update. It has not worked for about a month and use to work fine. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Is Apple working on a fix for the problem? Is there a work around?
Thanks,

A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

I work for a funeral home that has used Photoshop CS2 for years.

I work for a funeral home that has used Photoshop CS2 for years. Within this program, we were able to upload a background "file" with themes - i.e., spring flowers, fall leaves, etc. We would scan in pictures given to us by the deceased's family and "place" these on top of the background slide. We then used a software program, Nero, to create a slide show with music to play during the viewing. I've spent some time looking over the products and do not see one that will allow us to continue this very simple practice. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak to someone about this. Thank you.

Newer versions of Photoshop have new feature that CS2 does not have. However CC 2014 like CS2 does not have a slide show with sound feature. I have a Windows 7 Pro system. Have CS2, CS6, CC and CC 2014 installed. You need and Updated CS2 Installer to install CS2 on windows. CS2 is a 32 bit Photoshop there is no CS2 version that will run on new Mac computers their 64 Bit OS offered no 32bit options.
A $10 a month subscription will keep up to date with the latest Photoshop. Your other option is to buy CS6 for $700. CS6 is no longer supported it just marketed as is.

Firefox won"t connect to Career Builder. Used to, but last 3-4 versions won't. just sits there after clicking on a link, such as "find all matching jobs" and have to hit 'Home" button to stop. Works in IE. ran malicious sw scan and nothing was found

not many other details, but it used to work just fine and stopped after a new version was downloaded I don't know which version caused it, still doesn't work in latest version. have to open IE and use it to do job searches. after clicking on a link of a search(I have them emailed to me), the PC stalls and hitting the "back" button many times sometimes frees it up, but usually I have to hit the "home" button

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

HT1296 I am trying to transfer all of my music, photos, movies and apps from my IPAD to a new computer I just purchased for home use. Currently I have been using a work computer. How can I do this?

I got a new computer for home and I am trying to transfer all of my music, movies, photos and apps from my IPAD. I have been using my work computer ofr this in the past but want to change to my new home computer. I can't figure out how to do this without erasing everything from it.

This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

I have wifi in my home and it has always worked fine. Then I went to Ireland and used the iPad there. Since I have been home, it won't work in the house. I took it to another location where I have logged in before and it worked perfectly. Any ideas?

I took it to anothe location where I have logged in in the past, and it worked perfectly. Any ideas as to why I can't get a connection at home?
Thank you.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

- Connect to computer and it it shows in iTune restore via iTunes
- Then try letting the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset (both buttons) and connecting to computer and restore.

I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.

If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.
