Windows 7 Desktop is missing.
Hello.
So I built my computer at the end of last year, and my SSD was shipped FIRST, and by mistake, I installed that first, before my secondary drive, which is a 3Tb drive. Fast forward to today. I am running out of space,
and I come up with an idea, that proves to be a wrong one eventually, I copy pretty much everything from C: to my secondary, and delete the rest from C:. Now, when I try to install something, it's missing. And I further find out that in Windows Explorer, my
desktop is missing from the left side.
The only things left in my C: drive are Program Files, then the x86, Users, and Windows. I made a horrible mistake, what should I do?
BTW, I tried system restore, yet the only time I can restore is today, which isn't any help.
get another hard disk and install windows clean, then slave the old disk with usb and recover your files

When I reboot my windows desktop i get a message that says apsdaemon.exe can not start because msvcr80.dll is missing. How do i fix this? Thank you in advance.
Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

Wanted: Your Skype for Windows Desktop ideas
We have just launched a new Windows Desktop Client idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows desktop client.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Make sure your ideas are for the right client. This idea board is for Skype for Windows desktop client, not Skype for Windows 8.
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's a way to recognize someone's effort and to signal to us how important the idea is to you. We are using votes and comments as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the top left side of the idea board.
Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is. Remember to include how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it as well as scenarios that you think the idea would be used it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
You will need to select a label for your idea, you can choose from one of the following labels:
Voice
Tell us how you would change the calling experience in Skype when making voice calls to contacts or phone numbers.
Video
Video is one of the core functionalities of Skype, tell us how you would make it better!
Instant Messaging & Contacts
How would you make the messaging and contacts experience better? You can also include ideas around how you would improve the main user interface of Skype within this label.
Sharing
Today you can share photos, videos, files or your computer screen using Skype for Windows desktop. What would you change or add to the sharing experience to make it better?
Tips to draft your idea:
Start with a clear title
Include scenarios and use cases for how the idea would be used
Add appropriate label(s)
List features and benefits
Keep it short and to the point
Avoid tech speak
Do not be discouraged if your idea was not selected. Sometimes what seems to be a simple idea may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.
Rights to Feedback: Skype may or may not use your comments, ideas, or suggestions. Skype reserves the right to use for any purpose including commercial purposes, comments, ideas, suggestions, code, products or services (“Content”) that are posted on this community without any obligation to compensate the individual or entity that provided the Content.

Recent Feedback: We have gone through some of the recent posts on the Skype for Windows desktop board and gathered some of the improvement ideas posted there. However we need your help to prioritize these ideas against other ideas that you may have.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Idea Board all about?
Idea Board is a new part of the Skype Community, where members can share their ideas about existing products and services. Anyone in the community can see and vote on the ideas you post.
We encourage you to give kudos and comment on submitted ideas as we are more likely to take the top kudoed and most discussed ones into consideration.
How do I navigate the Ideas Board?
Finding your way around the ideas board is a pretty straightforward. Here are some of the things you will see to help you get around:
New Ideas – The most recent ideas.
Hot Ideas – The most popular ideas right now.
Top Ideas – The most kudoed ideas.
The sidebar widgets
In the sidebar you'll find more ways to sort the ideas board, see new and popular ideas and the top rated contributors to the idea board. It's also really easy to filter ideas by status, for instance if you only want to see ideas that are “Accepted”.
How to check if an idea exists already?
Use the search function filtering by the ideas board – or click here (direct link to search function)
What do the votes/kudos mean?
Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind!
What do the different idea statuses mean?
We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you, and ready to be vetted by the community.
Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
Under consideration - Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
More information needed - More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
Already exists - This is available in the product.
Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
How will I know if an idea has been implemented?
You can track the status of your ideas as your ideas are sent to the people here at Skype who can make them happen and you will see the status of your idea is updated. We will be telling you if the idea is something we are working on now or would like to do in the future, or if it’s something that is not feasible for us at this time. To ensure you don’t miss any updates select “Subscribe” from the “Idea Options” menu when viewing your idea.
What ideas have been implemented so far?
You can check the "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic which we will post once the first idea got implemented.
Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
Who moderates/ manages the ideas board and in what frequency?
The community team is monitoring the board on the daily basis and product managers will come in on a bi-weekly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No. Unfortunately we are only collecting ideas using the idea board at this time.

↓ Did my reply answer your question? Accept it as a solution to help others, Thanks. ↓Wait!! If you about to post a reply to this thread this post is for you!
You guys who have posted obviously have not read the first sentence of the long OP, let alone the whole thing.
This is the wrong place.
Post them here which is formatted for handling requests:

If you are asking questions about skype issues this thread is really the wrong place lol. Getting an answer to yoru question will require a little effort on your part.
First go here:
https://support.skype.com/en/
Read through that page, if you want to narrow it down and search, use the search.
Since the search targets all skype forums, include which OS you are on.
However since you all are probably on windows, click this link and use search or browse topics.
Do not post a new thread without using search. Look for forum topics marked as [Solved]. Doing otherwise spams the forum and is globally known as inappropriate and poor forum etiquette.

How to sync MacBook Air with Windows desktop
I have a MacBook Air and I would like have syncronized my documents, photos, movies, calendar, contacts with my windows desktop. I have Itunes installed in both machines. Why is not possible make MacBook Air does the same my IPAD does with my desktop?
Welcome to Apple Discussions
If you mean "How do I mange e-mail and/or files between two or more devices"? You have to get organized.
If you have POP3 mail it's somewhat complicated: you set your "traveling machine" to receive (but not remove from the e-mail server) new messages. Realize that if you reply from the traveling machine that message will not show up anyplace but the sent box of the machine from which you sent the reply (you can export/import sent messages via a jump/thumb drive back to the desktop when you cease traveling). If you delete a message from the traveling machine you may/or may not have it also deleted from the e-mail server. All those choices or options are sent in e-mail behavior or options (what it's called/where its found depends on your choice of e-mail client)
The desktop machine is set to download messages from the server. When you are traveling the e-mail client must not be started or running (or you may miss messages on your traveling machine because they were downloaded at home before you turned on your traveling e-mail). Once get home you start your e-mail download all messages still left on the server - delete duplicates and import your sent messages.
If you have an IMAP4 e-mail client it's much simpler you set up the traveling machine to leave all the e-mail on the e-mail server. You will see all the "new" messages AND when you get home you can have the Desktop see/download your mail sent from the traveling machine as the traveling machine was acting as a "terminal". Again exactly how you do this depends on your choice of e-mail client.
For files you would keep a copy (or backup) on iCloud, or you could keep all your work organized in folders that can easily be transferred to jump/thumb drives or accessed through file sharing on your home network. -
Windows conacts option missing....help
am running desktop v4.6 ans wanted to sync my windows contacts but that option is missing. i have tried v4.7 n v5.0 and they all have windows contact option missing from. i only have oulook,yahoo and ascii. any help. thanks
The option won't show up on the list. Once you have checked SMB File Sharing, that will enable sharing your files with Windows computers. You don't need to do anything else after that.

Using the latest Version 3.4 of Windows App Certification Toolkit to check Windows 8.1 compatibility our Installer was not approved on:
Certification requirements for Windows desktop apps
5.5 Your app installer must create the correct registry entries to allow successful detection and uninstalls
But all necessary settings are done and after the installation of our application we will find all settings in the registry.
We use an MSI Installer embedded in a bootstrapper exe. The MSI Installer is made with the WiX Toolset V3.6.
The same Application Installer got approved on November, 2014.
We checked this issue against the latest version of MSThreatModelingToolkit installer which also was made with WiX toolset and it fails, too.
So is there a higher restriction or do we miss anything?Hi Wibudev,
I would suggest you to double check if you have miss something in registry, per documentation mentioned, the installation module must create the following registry entries during installation:
DisplayName
InstallLocation
Publisher
UninstallString
VersionMajor or MajorVersion
VersionMinor or MinorVersion
WACK 3.4 is the latest version, I don't think there would be any higher restriction but I will recommend you to test with another computer to see if the validate fails again. Sometimes the issue could be on the PC environment.

Desktop is missing and can't open finder since upgrading to 10.9.5
Since upgrading to OS 10.9.5 my desktop is missing (no drives or files) and I can't open finder or empty trash. I can only access programs in the dock. I tried zapping the PRAM and it fixed it but the next time I restarted same problem.
iMac computerYou might have corrupt .plists.
Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this. -
What's the best go forward framework (Web Authentication Broker, WPF, other) to use when authenticating against an Open Connect 1.0 authentication server (that's OpenID + oAuth v2.0)? My developer says that Web Authentication Broker is not supported
in Windows Desktop 8.1 (so if you can confirm this that would be great also).
We've created a universal app to support Windows Destkop, Tablet, Phone (8.1 and up) and plan to add support for iOS and Android via Xamarin later.
Your feedback is appreciated.

This is not the correct forum for your question, I'll move it to [where is this forum for...] forum, where the moderator may direct you to the correct forum.
Thanks for your understanding.

I have pulled pictures off of my windows desktop onto a usb jumpdrive to transfer to my macbook pro (OSX10.7). when I plug it into my macbook I do not see the picture files. Does OSX not recognize certain files from windows? They are standard .jpg files.
Hello RumDog,
I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
You can then:
Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."
From: Where are my iTunes files located?

What hbmi cord do I need to connect my Macbook Pro retina display to a Windows desktop?
I'm trying to connect my Windows desktop to my Macbook Pro retina dispay so i can transfer CD's. ALthough I dont know what cord to get.
Your post is a little confusing. HDMI is for connecting video, like hooking your Mac to a TV. It sounds like you want to transfer files. If you have a wireless network, just share the folder with the music on your Windows machine and you should be able to copy it to your Mac.

I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook. When I attempt to sync in itunes I get a popup message asking if I want to delete, Merge or cancel. Not wanting to delete of cancel the only option left is Merge.
When selecting Merge all of the entries in outlook are added to the idevice. The next time I merge all of the same entries plus any new ones are added, resulting in older entries being repeated i.e an entry like “John’s Birthday” will appear 5 or 6 times on the same date.
How do I resolve this issue? How do I get the the sync process to add only new entries?This is a great question. First, facetime will not work because it has to establish a Call connection first. iMessage should work, but how to get it going I am not sure. Two great Apps to try are, Viber and Skype. Viber is excellent, it works over WiFi, you can make free calls and free text messages all over the world with other users who have Viber installed. It does not even have to be open on screen to work. Viber does have to recieve one text message with activation code, to activate it, this will be your only hurdle, but maybe Verizon can help you get that one text message. Skype does have to be open on screen however, but this can function like Facetime with WiFi connection. Definitely get Viber free in App Store, and put it on all your iDevices so the old Verizon iPhone can function as a telephone when on WiFi.

Thanks. -NoelDo you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.
