  • HOW do I resend a reminder for a file that hasn't been downloaded

    I have some files that haven't been downloaded and I want to send a reminder to the person, How do I do that?

    Wouldn't you want to check with the Microsoft support first, to get it to work?

  • How to remove from iPad music files that do not appear in iTunes?

    A 'phantom' music Album files appears on my iPad, in the Albums view of the Music menu.  The album cannot be played and the three tracks on it appear greyed out when it is selected.  It is not present in my iTunes library on my PC.  Is there anyway that this file can be deleted or at least removed from the Music/Albums view?
    Similarly, I downloaded a free track from iTunes directly to my iPad.  This now shows on both my iPad and iTunes on my PC.  However, I do not wish to keep the track on my iPad.  Removing it from the playlist that sync's to the iPad does not remove it from the iPad.  Is there a way to resolve this additional issue?
    iPad is an iPad 2 with iOS 5.0.1.  iTunes is version 10.5.2.11 on a Windows 7 laptop PC.
    Thanks, any suggestions welcome.

    If you try syncing with iTunes again, perhaps the phantom album will be erased since it does not exist on the computer.
    Have you tried restarting or maybe resetting the iPad to see if the album will disappear?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How to remove a Windows 7 partition that did not properly install in Lion?

    So I was in the process of installing Windows 7 and partitioning the hard drive to give 20 GB to Windows 7 when I accidentally tripped my charger and shut down my computer. When I turned it back on I realized 20 gb of memory was missing and I could not find an actual "Windows 7" partition on my hard disk. I'm using Lion and when I go into Boot Camp the only option it has for me is to install Windows 7 on a new partition. Opening up Disk Utility only shows my single hard disk and not any partition that was made. What can I do to get those 20 gbs back? I'm a bit stuck.

    I would suggest reposting in the Boot Camp forum for your chance at the fastest and most accurate answer.  Good luck.

  • Are there any services that can be removed for a smartphone line that hasn't been used since June of last year?  I can't afford the $300 cancellation fee.

    I'm in a very tight financial spot, and was hoping I could cancel text, or something.   My son hasn't used his phone since he got his own service in June of last year, and it's just silly to continue paying for it.  Very curious how the account continues to show text messages connected with the phone. 

    You might look into one of the services that helps match you up with a buyer that wants a phone and willing to take the contract with it (such as celltradeusa.com for instance).  I am listing this site only as an example, there are others as well.  Or alternatively find a friend or other family member who wants the phone and again willing to accept the contract with it.  It is legal and allowed by Verizon (and other cell companies) to transfer the contract to another person.

  • How can I Request a new App. that hasn't been made yet?

         I'm in a car club with many car enthusiasts that use there iPads, iPhones, and iPods on their cars. This is done by using a car programmer that can link with Apple devices by Bluetooth. These programmers  are designed to unlock your vehicles hidden performance potential by wirelessly re-calibrating your vehicle's computer for maximum horsepower and torque, increased throttle response, firmer shifts and even increased fuel mileage. They are the first and only made for iPod, iPhone or iPad vehicle tuner and OBDII monitoring product on the market. The programmers include a wireless interface that plugs directly into your vehicles OBDII diagnostic connector and communicates with your Apple device via a secure Bluetooth wireless connection. By optimizing your vehicle's fuel and spark curves, they will make your vehicle run more efficiently, increasing MPG, and performance you can feel in the driver seat! Features include:  On screen virtual gauges with adjustable warning/alert lights., Monitor vehicle engine data/parameters via virtual gauges., User selectable gauge themes and gauge layouts., Monitor multiple engine parameters in real time., Diagnose your vehicle's DTC codes ., 0-60 MPH test., 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile test., Top speed test., Braking test.
         These car enthusiasts have very rear cars, expensive cars, or both and don't want to mount or hold the Apple devices while driving at high speeds but at the same want to see the information on the Apple devices. Most of these enthusiasts and I set the devices on the dashes of our cars. This is when I noticed the reflection on the windshield. There are car brand that offer an option that has been know as H.U.D. ( Heads Up Display ).
    I was wondering if there is or if it was possible to make an App. that could mirror the display on the Apple devices? So when the display reflects off the windshield it will not be backwards. This will be a much safer way for the driver to be more aware of every thing going on around him/her while driving. This will optimize the drivers alertness and minimize the times the drive would look away from the road to see his/her gauges.

    Mac mini
    iPad 3
    iPhone 4s
    SCT Performance iTSX Wireless Tuner

    If you find a somewhat similar app, go to the developer's web page and send your request.

  • [SOLVED] rsync updating files that have not changed

    I am trying to setup a backup system for my laptop.  I have a USB hard drive (FAT formatted because I need to backup my wifes Windows laptop too).  However, rsync keeps updating files that have not been touched in anyway between backups.  In fact if I run my backup script twice in a row without otherwise using my computer, some files still get rewritten.
    The rsync command I am using is:
    rsync --force --ignore-errors -rv --delete 
    Any ideas why this is happening.  I removed the options to preserve time, permissions etc because FAT does not support this.
    Edit:  It turns out the advise I read on the internet is wrong and FAT can have time preserved.  This fixed the problem

  • Software Update Files

    Hi,
    Is it possible to somehow keep all the software update files, so when I re-install my OSX Server Operating System tonight I won't have to download all the updates again?

    Hi Cliff, yes it is. They are stored in the /usr/share/swupd/html/ directory. If you backup this directory and all it's contents and copy it back over ,before you try and start the service, once you're up and running, all should be ok.
    This is of course assuming you're using the same IP/FQDN setup for the rebuild.
    Cheers

  • Is it OK to delete your downloaded program files after they have been installed?

    I have several years worth of downloaded program as well as other files that have already been installed and, I would like to delete them to make more space available on my HD.  Is it OK to delete these files?  
    Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

    I used to keep the installers of most everything until - a very long time later - I finally realized that by the time I may need it again, it was outdated and I needed to download or pay for a newer version because the old one was no longer compatible with my current OS. So, I've changed it a bit and now only keep installers for which no new installers/versions are available, or if I think I may want to revert to an earlier version. The remainder now wind up in the trash immediately after the install.
    Not that it matters at all, but your profile says MBP, but you said a Mac Pro (two very different machines). But, as I said, in the context of your question, it does not matter at all.

  • HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available.  I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

    I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • I receive a Software Update notice that fails. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? How do I stop its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

    About once a month I receive the Software update notice that has failed. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? If I decided I want this update how do I allow it to continue? If I decided I do not want this update how do I stop it and its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

    Hi sharkbiscuit79,
    Yes your cabinet 10 on the Crediton exchange has already been installed and linked with a FTTC DSLAM cabinet (making it able to provide FTTC fibre broadband) and has been Accepting FTTC orders since December 2013.  PCP10 (with it's DSLAM cabinet within 100meters of it) is locate on the junction of Commercial Road and the A3072.
    However by the looks of things your are just too far away to obtain a FTTC (VDSL2) connection, meaning FTTC fibre broadband is not available to you.
    Have a look at the Connecting Devon and Somerset Considerations (particularly the last paragraph) - http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/where-when-map-conditions/
    Your best bet is to talk to Connecting Devon and Somerset to see if there are any further plans to get a fibre based service to your area via https://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/contact-us/ (as your area may not be inscope of any further deployment). Best give them your full address and landline number too as they can check if you are within a NGA area.

  • Can i remove any software updates..?!

    Hi guys,, My phone is asha 303....
    Iam asking about if i can remove any software updates installed in my phone (i mean make it like i bought it)??
    *does if i Restored factore setting from my phone, is that will remove any software updates from my phone??
    *is there other ways to do that??

    Is there any differences between phone language while installing software updates.
    With your Nokia 303, no.
    Moron wrote:
    Is the language affect on software update quality, like english is best or any other languages?
    Not applicable as per answer above. Everything depends on your Nokia Product Code.
    Moron wrote:
    Is there any languages will be removed after updates?
    If that happens, something more severe is wrong right now, like a Nokia Product Code mismatch of the hardware/software. That is unnormal, therefore, loosing languages is not normal either. Just check the 7-letter code of the label of your phone, whether it matches the one displayed in the Nokia Software Recovery Tool. If they match, you are not going to loose languages.

    Apps comes with phone will be delleted like (Social app) or (Nokia chat app) …
    You should ask in that thread which matches your target firmware version and model number. Then, somebody with your phone can answer that question directly:
    A) 14.87 …
    B) 14.76 …

    You should make a backup with the PC Suite, the Nokia Suite and via the Menu » Settings » Sync and Backup » Create Backup (microSD required). Then, you can choose which backup worked best.

  • I'm not able to download Itunes.  I keep getting this Apple Software Update message that states "There is a problem with this Windows installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your package vendor"

    Not able to access Itunes store anymore.  Just quit working for no reason.  I've tried deleting Itunes and related components from the Control Panel, but when I try to remove Apple Software Update, I get a message that states "There is a problem with this Windows installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor".  Not sure what this message means.  Am I suppose to contact Apple ?  What is meant by package vendor ?

    Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm.  So will have to wait

  • How to remove Unicode from XML file

    I get following error when unmarshal xml:

    Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
    Thanks

    These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.
