Can any one let me know how to find out current internet explorer version

Can any one let me know how to find out current internet explorer version

Don;t use annoyed repeated words. Try to explain exactly what is your problem.
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.write("Your browser Name: <B>" + navigator.appName + "</B>.<br>")
//Detect IE Version Only
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1){
var temp=navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")
var version=parseFloat(temp[1])
document.write(" Your Browser version: <B>" + version + "</B>.")

How do I reset my security questions if I don't remember the answers to the current ones?

I got an iTunes gift card for Christmas and I tried to buy a song and my phone told me since I had never bought anything on that device before I had to answer my security questions... Problem is, I don't remember the answers to the questions it gave me. I also have no idea how to reset my security questions without knowing the answers to the current ones. Please help!!

Hello courtteff,
Thanks for the question. If you do not recognize your security questions, or do not know the answers, see the following article for steps on how to reset them:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
     - sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password
     - sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
     - contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you do not see the option for resetting your questions with a rescue email address, see this excerpt:
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

Did you try this Apple website regarding your old Apple ID and its password: Apple ID: If you forget your password
OT

HT204053 i'm locked out of one of my apple ids and it says it emails me to reset it but i never receive this email

i'm locked out of one of my apple ids and says it will email me to reset and i never receive an email

You will need to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'More Products and Services' in the second column, then 'Apple ID' in the third column. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' in the first column then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'. You will be offered options to contact Apple.

I have changed my apple I'd email address so when I log in it is correct. But when my friend iMessage me it only works to my old email not my current one. How can I sort this out???

I changed my apple I'd email address and when I log in I use that email and the right password both work. But when my friend iMessage me it only works if they send it to my old email address not my new current one. How can ai change my iCloud and iMessage address?? To match my current one?

So have you changed the accounts in the iCloud and Messages Settings?
Settings > iCloud > Account
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive

My Apple ID is my old email and I want to change it but can't because my rescue email is my current one.

My Apple ID is my old email and I want to change it but can't because my rescue email is my current one. How do I change it?

There are instructions on this page for how to change your rescue email address (you may need to log out and back into your account before trying to use it as your main address) :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.

Firefox opens in new window under current one

whenever I right-click on a link and select to open in a new window, the resulting new window always disappears under the current one. I am finding this to be rather annoying as I am used to the window opening in front of the previous one, meaning I didn't have to go chasing it in the taskbar icons.
I can't say for sure when it started happening, but I'm thinking since a previous update.
I have had a look under options, but can't find anything relating to it.
how do I fix this annoyance?

Surebrec,
'''Update:''' I found this, which you might want to try out before continuing reading: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-stop-firefox-stealing-window-focus.htm
Basically that would mean the reverse for you.
If that didn't work:
Does this problem appear without you having many applications running at the same time and/or if you have pinned a lot of applications to your Taskbar in Wondows 7?
Some users have reported that this problem manifests itself if the row of icons in the Taskbar simply can't make room for any icons expanding (i.e. new windows in for instance Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer).
If so, you might want to take a look at: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

Office 365 AAD Password Writeback not working; Event Viewer Error: 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed to the current one specified.)

Hello all,
I'm currently setting up a Proof Of Concept setup with directory synchronisation and password syncing to Office 365, leveraging AAD Premium for the password reset and password writeback to on premises
AD functionality. Directory Sync + Password Sync is working flawlessly with the AADSync tool. However, upon requesting a password reset for a user, I'm hitting a password writeback error. The webpage states that the password does not meet the password
complexity policy, while it does. I can set that particular password for that account at the on premises AD without any problem.
In the event viewer at the AADSync server, I'm seeing this Error pop up whenever I try to reset the password:
An unexpected error has occurred during a password set operation. "BAIL: MMS(4032): ..\server.cpp(11003): 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed
to the current one specified.) Azure AD Sync 1.0.0475.1202"
My Setup:
Windows Server 2012 AD with a single forest
Seperate domain joined Windows Server 2012 for AADSync tool
AADSync version 1.0.0475.1202 with options password sync, password writeback enabled
Service account for AADSync tool with Replicating Directory Changes and Replicating Directory Changes All permissions
on root AD forest structure with inheritance to all objects. This account also has the permissions to Change Password and Reset Password on all descendant
User Objects.
AAD Premium for my office 365 tenant
AAD Premium licenses for the test users and the office 365 account used to sync to Office 365. This account is also Global Admin.
Could anyone help me with this? Is there something I’m missing here? My guess is that the AAD is not trusted or the service account for AADSync tool does not have the proper permissions. I’ve tried
many options, like setting the AADSync Service account to Enterprise Admin or granting the service account Full Control over that particular user.

Concerning my issue:
The Default Group Policy setting: Minimum Password Age is set at 1 day. As I was testing this feature with new users, their provisioned passwords were less than 24 hours old and the Minimum Password Age of 1 prevented the change of the password.
After changing this to 0 days in the Default Group Policy, my password resets started working for newly created users. While this might not have affected existing users in production, it had me looking and searching for permission issues on my AD.
So for those that might be experiencing ADSync Event ID 6329 and PasswordResetService Event ID 33008 Errors when trying to do a Password Reset using AAD Premium with Password Writeback, it might be helpful to check the applied password policy.
The issue is solved.

Admin Account Locked Out Indefnitely

I want to know steps to retrieve my administrator account(only one) of a domain containing single domain controller has been locked out by a group policy that has been set. The lockout duration has been set to 0(indefnitely, until manually unlocked by the
administrator).

Hi,
Based on my experiences, during the process of promoting a server to Domain Controller, we need to configure a
Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) Administrator Account Password, providing this password allows us to restore Active Directory.
If the scenario in your post occurs, we can use DSRM password to restore AD to a point where the admin’s account is not locked out.
Therefore, please make sure that administrators perform regular
backup so we can restore Active Directory after a sudden crash, and remember the DSRM password.
Here are some links below for your references:

That certainly looks like a low memory issue, 2 GB ram is barely enough to run Mac OS X versions from Lion through Yosemite. The high number of Page Outs and killed processes show very high memory pressure.

My iMessage stopped working when I did the latest update on my phone. I have literally tried everything to reset it. I am currently not in the US, but my iMessage has always worked when I was in wifi and my phone is still activated. I have tried to reset my network settings, my location, and even the reset all settings. When I click on my settings and iMessage it says that it is still waiting for activation... and my phone number is grayed out. I am able to recieve an iMessage to my email and that could work for right now but i'm not sure how to start a conversation the defaults to being sent from my email and not my cell phone number. please help!

Hi shanny202.
Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.
You locate the nearest Apple Store here: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
And here is Apples phone numbers around the world for support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

Admin and Task servers as one in the same

I open up the Remote Desktop software, and select 1 computer from the list. I then click on the "Install" icon and drag a .pkg file inside of the "Packages" area. I check off the radio button that says "Run this task from: The Task Server on this computer" and click the "Install" button.
I get a progress bar that runs infinitley and a message that says "The targetd computer, "<computer name>", is currently idle. It doesn't matter if the computer is up and running, or if it is offline. It says the same thing regardless and never installs the package.
If I decide not to "Run this task from: The Task Server on this computer" and instead "Run this task from: This application" then it works prefectly. I just can't seem to install from the local task server, which means I have to wait until this machine is online before I can manually run it, which means there's a problem with the way I set up the Task server.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with my installation? I have gone into "Remote Desktop -> Preferences -> Task Server" and made sure "Use Task Server on this computer" was selected, and it is. I am NOT using 2 different serial number for 2 different and separate copies of ARD3 for both an Admin + Task Server. I am, however, expecting the Task Server and Admin Server to run as one in the same. If this is not possible then perhaps the Documentation needs updating? From http://images.apple.com/server/docs/ARDTaskServer.pdf I read: "You can run the Task Server on either the administrator computer or a dedicated remote computer. The default Task Server is the administrator computer on which you installed Remote Desktop.". This means the Admin and Task Servers can run as one in the same, no? Please let me know if this is incorrect.

Update: Please refer to the post with the title of "Possible to run both an Admin Server and Task server from the same host?". Basically the answer to this problem is that there isn't one. I've called apple support and it's been confirmed that an Admin server and Task server CANNOT be run from the same installation on the same host. I suppose you could say the answer is to buy another license of ARD3 and run it in a separate host, but for some of us this isn't an option - especially for a very small startup.
