My speakers stopped working, and i cannot even find them listed in the control panel.

I have a new (less than 2 months old) HP Pavilion g7, win 7. My speakers were working fine, then a few days ago, the volume button in the system tray disappeared. I rebooted thinking it would come back. There is now a volume icon, but it says there are no devices connected, and is looking for my headphones or some other output device. The sounds folder in the control panel only lists external devices. How can I find my speakers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services. Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Startup Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Tried the un-install and getting the same problem although it takes a bit longer before it crashes this time. Checked the problem report and it looks the same as the previous reports.

I moved several folders from my Mac to iCloud and I cannot easily find them. Is there an easier way to find them instead of searching in Spotlight?

If you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
//// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
4. Now you have the result.
Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page.

I keep getting the message "a problem has caused itunes to stop working" and I cannot download my podcasts or sync all of my content

Whenever I open Itunes and try to get my latest podcasts on my Windows 7 computer, Itunes stops working I get a message like" Itunes has stopped working and Windows is checking on the problem for you". I cannot download all my content in one sitting and sync my computer to my 4th gen Ipod. I reinstalled Itunes and selected repair but am still getting the same message.

Many thanks for the thorough information, karmad.
Fault Module Name: iTunes.dll
That in particular, in conjunction with the other symptoms you've described, has me wondering about user-account-specific troubles.
I'd try checking first to see if the errors are user-account-specific or systemwide, as per:
[iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717]
... and if it does turn out to be a user-account-specific, error, I'd try steadily working through the troubleshooting possibilities in the user-specific troubleshooting section of that document.

While installing a PDF conversion program, start now/bing was installed, and after removal, instead of my home page, I have the Firefox start page even though mine is in the control panel.

You pretty much have it. Primopdf was the initial program, and zugoremovaltool was the remove tool. Prior to zugo, I had removed by add/remove in the control panel as well as going into program files and windows and deleting the programs. While trying to remove primopdf, I discovered it had its own uninstall program, which I ran. I restored my home page to the control panel only still to have start now/bing. I ran zugo and restored my home page to the control panel only to be stuck with the Firefox start page.

I thought about that before and tried it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I did it just now, I opened a blank tab and closed everything else, waited a minute then closed Firefox. I waited another minute and launched Firefox. The Restore Previous Session box was there on about:home. I clicked it and it opened a new window with about:home in it.

Acrobat does not appear in my programs list in the control panel so I cannot make it my default program in Windows 8.1

How do I get Acrobat X to appear in the Control Panel list of programs, so that I can choose it as the default programs for working with PDF files?

Try right clicking on a PDF and select the open with to set Acrobat as the default.

I am missing my bookmarks and none of the things you suggest work because I cannot even find my task manager or processes options!

My bookmarks just disappeared off my toolbar. I'm not sure why. When I do things Firefox suggests such as going to task manager and then processes, I am unable to even find "task manager" on my toolbar! Please give me the correct, specific directions for fixing this! I do not have a PhD in computers!

You can open the Task Manager via Ctrl+Alt+Del

E-mail and Internet Service stopped working and I cannot get it going again - Pearl 8130

I recently activated e-mail and a data package (December 12th to be exact). On Saturday I noticed that I stopped receiving e-mails from my Hotmail, and as of today I'm receiving any e-mails from my work e-mail either. It worked 100% normally up to this point.
My browswer or online applications are not working whatsoever either. It says "There is insufficient network coverage to process your request. Please try again later", which is garbage as I have just fine network coverage as I sit in my office.
Yesterday I received a message to my phone stating:
"Update the password for jsytsma@**************.on.ca in the BlackBerry Internet Service! E-mail messages from jsytsma@**************.on.ca are not being delivereed to your BlackBerry device. To resume receiving email messages from this address, update the password for jsytsma@**************.on.ca in the BlackBerry Internet Service:"
And it proceeds to tell me how to do this. It says I can do it through my phone, which is a dead end as I go to tweak it, and I get the message about "Insufficient network coverage".
I then went to my Web Client login and tried what I thought to be my username and password. I tried several combinations and nothing was working. I have 2 passwords I use for things and I tried them over and over again with different user names, but I'm 95% sure my user name is "jsytsma".
So last resort, I type in my pin and it said the username/password will be sent to my BlackBerry messenger. That would be great if everything were working! So far it's been over 2 hours and I've received nothing.
Is there a number I can call that DOESN'T cost me $55 CDN dollars a call?

Do that ^^ as stated.
or:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot
if still nothing...
3. resend your service books from your carrier BIS site.

or, for a call that doesn't cost you $55, call your carrier.

HT201514 Time capsul stopped working and now cannot be mounted

After hourly backups for the last month (since I bought Time Capsul), Time Machine just stopped. Initially, the message in Time Machine was "backup delayed". I clicked on "backup now" and that message disappeared -- so did Time Capsul. Now Airport Utility no longer "sees" Time Capsul.
-- Time Capsul is the 3TB model, purchased a little more than one month ago.
-- I am backing up roughly 700 GB of data
-- Both My iMac and my Macbook Pro run on OS X 10.7.5
My iMac is connected to Time Capsul by Ethernet cable.
My Macbook Pro is connected wirelessly
Neither the iMac nor the Macbook Pro can "see" the Time Capsul, or find it in Airport Utility. Both my iMac and my Macbook Pro have been backing up flawlessly for more than a month. The backup stopped yesterday with the message "backup delayed", as previously stated.
Is there an explanation and a fix for this problem? That's a pretty short life span for a month old $500.00 purchase.

My Mac book Pro does, in fact, see Time Capsule and is able to do a backup via wireless connection.
My Internet connection works fine -- Time Capsule light is green.
As to your question of: "Did you upgrade to 10.7.5 after the first faulty update was released?", I can't answer that question. I have no memory of a notification of a faulty update. I do, however, have the build 11G63 installed.
Would it be beneficial to do a factory reset?
Don't you just love it when nothing makes sense.. !!
Yes, do a factory reset of the TC..
Using the airport utility, on whichever computer can connect.. give the TC SMB names for everything.. TC network name, wireless names, and hard disk name.. that means, short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
In Lion use the 5.6 utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
The v6 airport is a toy.. plastic hammer.. suitable for toyland networks.
You might need to reset the TM in the computers..
A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Are you using the TC as router or in bridge? What broadband do you have?
Check for instance the ethernet is working from the connectivity led on the ethernet port of the TC.. it will show green.

My sound from Internal Speakers stop working and the icon get grey

Hello,
Yesterday I use my headphones to listen music from my mac. Today after I turn on my notebook I saw that my sound icon is grey and when I try to change the level of the sound nothing happens. When I put again my headphones the sound works.
I also saw that I have no option to choose Internal Speakers in Sound menu.
Can you help me pls.

I got the solution !
The problem was at the Headphone's port. I reconnected my headphones several times till the problem disappeared. There was some red light inside the port.

Mail suddenly stopped working and also cannot access mail through Settings iphone 4

The mail partially opens for a second and then crashes. I see some suggestions for deleting the mail program but when I go to Settings the Mail, Calendar and Contact button won't open.

I still have not been able to open mail preferences on my iphone 4s so I can't even delete or add accounts. I reset everything (after trying various soft resets), started all over again as a new phone and updated the IOS but still can't open mail settings or the mail app. Prior to the "fix" for the Excess exchange account activity related to calendar, I reported the problem and have have gotten zero responses. Although I was using gmail exchange accounts for google apps for education, I did NOT have a problem with calendar, just mail. My calendars still sync just fine, but have resorted to using gmail app and yahoo mail app to get my various mail accounts on my phone. I know this doesn't help you but maybe someone will see a pattern here.

How do I enable drag and drop of photos from a webpage to my desktop? It has stopped working and I cannot figure out how to enable it.

I used to be able to drag and drop photos from webpages to my desktop but am no longer able to do so. I can however right click and save image as, but that it just to tedious.

That sounds like a browser issue so what browser and what web sites?

My speakers stopped working, and i cannot even find them listed in the control panel.
