    Did you try unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your sync settings and syncing?  If this doesn't remove them, try creating an empty folder on your PC, then selecting to sync this folder on the Photos tab and syncing your phone.  This should delete the existing photos prior to syncing the empty folder.
    Also, you can transfer these photos to your computer if you need to by using an app like PhotoSync.

  • Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop

    Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop
    Any workaround?

    hey guys.... i believe i have some light for you all. I gave my daughter a D610 which came pre-installed with Linux (ubuntu). She did not like it so i loaded windows 7 and guess what? no wifi.
    Unknown Device listed on device manager. to make the story short, after almost returning the laptop and spending 2 days looking for drivers everywhere I decided to reload Ubuntu because the wifi always worked. Then going a little deeper inside linux hardware
    specs I listed all the hardware using the command lshw from linux shell and what shows up as wifi interface? Atheros AR5001x.
    Problem was almost solved. The adventure now was find the driver for Atheros AR5001x that worked for windows 7. And now just to finish this story even faster, the diver is xp32-5.1.1.9.
    Unfortunately after downloading the driver I did not save the website. I have the file with me if you need.
    Just send me a message and i will be more than happy to email it to you.
    Happy New Year for all!!!!

    I am getting the message "The windows installer Service could not be accessed when trying to install Itunes on my new computer, any help would be appreciated.

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

    Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down.  The result should be a display showing a revolving globe.  By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX.  Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
    A solid Internet connection will be required.
    Ciao.

  • Not all of my photos from my iPad will sync with my macbook pro retina. Any advise would be appreciated as I am a Mac beginner.

    Not all of my photos on my ipad sync across to my macbook pro retina.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thank you - I have done this now but resetting and restoring from another device didn't really help. However, syncing via iTunes was a bit more successful as it occurred to me that many of my contacts are in MS Outlook on my PC and I was able to copy them over.  There are still some contacts missing and I am continuing to try and figure out where they originate from to try and get them to show up. 

  • My Applications Folder seems to have gone missing from my dock.  I can see it in the finder window but can't get it back to my dock.  Any help would be appreciated!

    I can see the Application folder in the Finder window but can't seem to get it back on to my dock.
    Any help would be appreciated it!

    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Launch Finder by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Right click the "Application" folder and select "Get Info".
    At the bottom of the resulting window there will be a blue folder icon in the preview section.
    Drag the whole window to the right side of the desktop,closer to the Dock.
    Now drag the blue preview folder to the Dock right of the separator line.
    Right click the folder icon and select "Folder" under "Display as" if it is not shown as folder.
    Best.

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

  • Hi my iphone won't sync any music at all. It gets stuck at the 2nd song saying the song is not there to be copied but it is and it doesnt copy anything over. I'm using an iphone 3GS (4.3.3) and up to date itunes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi
    I'm using a 3GS (4.3.3) and itunes 10 2.2.12
    When trying to sync my music my phone begins the syncing process, back up and preparing etc. Once it begins actually syncing it seems to get stuck on song 2 of 1500. After about 5-10mins a message appears saying song 2 of 1500 can not be copied because it can not be copied or read. Thats it. It doesn't try to sync the rest it just stops. The music is definitely available and it seems to have no problems syncing any podcasts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

  • Once firefox 4.o was installed, full screen video produced white screen. Had to exit and and restart video. Using a mac os 10.5. Disabling hardware acceleration did not fix. went back to firefox 3.6 and all is ok. Any help would be appreciated.

    Once firefox 4.o was installed, when switching to full screen while watching any internet video produced a white screen but audio still playing. Switching back to small screen has a still video but audio still going. Had to exit and and restart video or open a blank new new tab then delete it and then small screen video would play.

    Your hardware was never designed to run that old a version of OS X, it's best to update the application or find another application that is more up to date. Installing Leopard simply will not work on your system.

    This what my IT replied with:
    That teh MacBook cannot connect with RWW because it requires Active-X to connect.  That MAc browsers (Safari) do not use Active-X but only Windows (IE) uses Active-X control.
    It would seem to me that there must be a way around this. Any help?
