Laptop Charging In Desktop Mode
The power meter icon has been showing 51% (Plugged In, Not Charging) for the last few days that I've been running on the charger. I ran the battery test and it says the battery is in good shape (was replaced less than a year ago) and confirms the 51%. I want to get the battery to 100% so I don't have to be plugged in all the time while on travel. My Dell laptop has the option of running in desktop mode where the charging is controlled to extend the battery life when running in desktop mode (on the charger almost all the time). In this mode it seems to run between 85% and 100% charge, cycling only as needed. It also has the option to fully charge the battery. I can't find anything like this on this laptop. How can I get the battery to fully charge? Where do I find the settings to control the charging mode? Computer is a G62-143CL running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I couldn't find a list of past HP updates in the Support Assistant. It did give access to Windows updates but not the HP drivers updates. Below is the line from the Update list for my computer. As I recall, there was a ? number 1425 associated with it. This was exactly the same identifiers as what was already in my computer. Lucky I decided to install it even if it was the same. HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) F.37 Rev. A 6.6 MB Oct 11, 2014 I would still like to get software like that on my Dell that lets me set up extended life and desktop charging modes since I still have two HP computers. Please also tell HP that having to install each driver separately rather than all at once is very annoying. I realize that some updates need reboots but surely a semi-talented software engineer could come up with the code to sort that out. They should buy a Dell computer to see how it should be done!

My iphone 4s is not charging using wall charger. I can only charge it through my laptop and a desktop. I tried so many chargers already but it is still the same. Can somebody help me please...

Thank youHello Regina0117
If you already try other chargers and still not working, the best advise is for you to contact apple support, if you still in warranty they will change it for you for free.
Start you case here:

Hello, I have a MacBook AIR, and it seems that the battery is dead because it isn't charging although it is plugged in. And every time I shut the laptop down or unplug the charger I loose some safari cookies and I have to reset time and date.
Is there any way I can use the computer with a desktop mode so that I don't loose any data?
Thank you.1. do you ALWAYS / often have it plugged in?
if so, that ruined the battery.
Offload data to an external HD while its running. -
IE10 won't work in desktop mode
So I'm using an HP laptop. OS is Windows 8. I use Internet Explorer 10, and the IE app on the Windows 8 home screen works. But when using desktop mode, IE doesn't work. When I click on the IE tab, a window comes up but it never loads. I tried a couple
of things like restarting my computer, clicking out and back into IE, disabling add-ons, using the troubleshooter to detect problems in IE performance (no issues detected), and nothing worked. So I've been using the Windows 8 app version of
IE, but I prefer to just use it through desktop mode. Does anyone have any idea of what is wrong and how to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.starting IE in the NoHome state and then getting out of it.
What did you see then? It should have opened a res://ieframe.dll/NavCancl.htm page.
You could run ProcMon to see what is going on. It would be best to have two traces of this scenario, one working and whatever it is that you are getting. Typically your case is found to be something else that you have forgotten about that would
be interfering. Broken Family Safety is one example but I also saw it caused by the Java updater, so it could be just about anything. Using the suggested diagnostic should keep your traces as compact as possible.
You could also try simulating the same scenario in a safe mode boot. Unfortunately we cannot use ProcMon in that environment but you could at least use SysInternalSuite's AutoRuns to compare what is being loaded in each case.
Good luck

page size that I have to put my site to see the same on a computer supports both laptop and a desktop computer ?
The viewport on a computer is adjustable by the user. iWeb sets the viewport width to the page width that you chose in the layout menu. No matter what the end user does, the page width is static and a reasonable compromise for the width of a web page that will be viewed on these devices is 980 to 1024 px.
Safari on iOS devices cannot set the viewport. The viewport on mobile devices is fixed and its width depends on the orientation of the device. The iPhone in portrait mode has a viewport width of 320px. This means that the 980px wide iWeb built page will be squashed down to about one third of its desired size making it unreadable and difficult to navigate.
Setting the viewport meta tag so that width equals the device width is a futile gesture since Safari on iOS will do that anyway. Its only useful if you add some initial scaling like...
<meta name = "viewport" content="initial-scale=0.7">
In the case of a 980px wide website, the initial scale is about 0.3 so any value higher than this will magnify the initial view of the site.
Here's an example of a 980px wide page that has been given and initial scale of 0.7 which allows an iPhone user to see one column of a two column layout... -

Can't connect laptop when wired desktop is switched on.
Hi,
I have a Linksys WRT54G2 router and a laptop (wireless) and desktop (wired) which both connect fine however if I turn on the desktop before the laptop or turn the desktop on while the laptop is running the laptop loses connection. When this happens the laptop displays all the available wireless networks but can’t see my one. The only way to I can get it working again is to restart the router.
Both machines are running windows XP. The wireless is using WPA2 Personal security. This problem has always occurred since buying this router.
Let me know if there is any other information required.

When I charge my Thunderbolt, it will randomly switch to/from desktop mode on its own. Also, it won't recognize the VZW car mount any longer. I have the app to turn on the car mode, but occasionally it will turn off, on its own, as well.
In addition to all this, my computer can't find my TB, no matter what setting I use to "Connect to PC"!
Can anyone help?Thank you lemew for your reply.

How to switch from desktop mode?
My premier cs5 project is opening on desktop mode on my laptop..and not rendering the sequence on timeline..what to do?
One thing, your computer is under recommended spec for Premiere, let alone HD editing, so you will experience continued problems.
You didn't mention hard drive configuration. Premiere requires a dedicated hard drive for media. You might check to see if you even have enough hard drive space to work at all. This might be the issue with Premiere not being able to render.
One thing to try is to create a new sequence at 1280 X 720, then copy and paste the footage from your original sequence into the new one.
Another option to try is to start a new project and import the problem project into it. -
Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode
Hey everyone!
I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
My system details are:
Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
RAM: 2GB
HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset FamilyI'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

Quicktime does not work in firefox 24 in windows 8 desktop mode
I am running Firefox 24 on Windows 8 Pro 64-bit in desktop mode. I have QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 installed. But when I try to go http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/ and play trailers all I get is black box and nothing is playing. No prompting to authorize a plugin, no error message, nothing. I tried to see if it will work with other browsers, so I tried Google Chrome. I went to the website, got prompted to authorize the plugin and then was able to play trailers without any problems. The page won't even render correctly under IE. So, it makes me conclude that it is a browser problem. Can you help me please? Thanks.
Is his in a normal tab or in a private tab?
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Windows 8 Desktop Mode Apps have no access to internet
I've seen a couple people ask questions about their browsers not working in desktop mode for Windows 8, and none of them were answered. I've got the same problem with mine, however it's any application that runs in desktop mode.
Problem: NO application running desktop mode has internet, games, browsers, chat programs...nothing.
History:
-Was running Windows 7 Ultimate and upgraded to Windows 8, choosing to migrate over all my applications files and personal settings.
-Metro style apps and browsers have no problems accessing the internet
Attempts:
-attempted to reset IE 10 Desktop mode to all default settings, clearing browser cache, SSL slate, and resetting to default.
-attempted to reinstall chrome.
-running CMD prompt in desktop mode, able to ping and use DNS as normal
-Windows 8 defender is disabled, running MS Forefront for AV.
-forcibly set my adapter DNS to a google dns 8.8.8.8
Any idea's what to try next?hi there rebirth16 i had the exact same problem upgraded from windows 7 64bit to windows 8 pro and my desktop apps would not connect to the internet but the apps on metro did :-s. (strange) i upgraded with all my software and personal files intact im not
sure but some setting or some program caused the internet on the desktop to not connect. after a day of going through the pc my solution was to reinstal windows 8 but selected for it to just keep personal files i.e music pictures videos but not software after
that the finished the internet worked perfect well happy now down side you need to reintal your programs but this is the only way i could fix it. -
I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
thanks in advance..You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.
