Windows 7 gadgets are not working anymore. Strange problem.

Hello
I'm having a strange problem with windows 7 Gadgets, I describe it as follows:
1. Drag and drop a gadget to any part of the windows 7 desktop.
This problem happens with all the gadgets, so you can drag and drop the gadget you prefer.
2. Automatically, something weird happen. You will see TWO COPIES OF THE SAME GADGET PLACED IN THE DESKTOP! One of those copies, is showing the controls to close it, etc. the other copy, doesn't show any controls at all and it is glued to the desktop, you cannot
move it.
3. This happens with all the gadgets you drag and drop to the desktop, all them are duplicated, appearing 2 times.
4. When you restart, windows 7 doesn't remember the gadget, so the gadget will not be there anymore and will disappear.
5. The Fix it 50617 and Fix it 50618 DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
6. I did all these steps, and also don't solve the problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2515657
7. I tried other solution people is talking about in forums, registering the following DLL
    regsvr32 msxml3.dll
    regsvr32 scrrun.dll
    regsvr32 jscript.dll
ALSO DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
8. Restoring the system to the last point, ALSO DONT WORK. The last point was created in November 16th, 2011 and I tried to restore the system to that point and also don't solve the problem.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
How may I solve this?
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits
Thanks

SOLUTION FOUND
This problem is caused by a certain gadget that is presenting incompatibility problems with Windows 7 gadgets, and it's affecting the behaviour of the other gadgets.
SOLUTION TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
1. Uninstall ALL, ALL gadgets in your windows 7, except those that comes by default with windows 7: Clock, Calendar, Money, Puzzle, Presentation (pictures), RSS News
2. To uninstall a gadget press with the right button of the mouse over the desktop, select in the menu Gadgets, then click over the gadget you want to uninstall to select it, then press with the right button of the mouse and select uninstall. Do this for
all the gadgets, except those coming by default with windows 7
3. When the task be finished, restart your computer
4. Now you will see all the gadgets are behaving perfectly, and you can install also new gadgets without problems.
Try to avoid to install gadgets that could show a weird behaviour or incompatibility problems.
Thanks

After Security updation of Windows 7 in Boot Camp (Mac Book Pro with Retina Display) on 13-Nov-2013, Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets are not working properly.

After Security updation of Windows 7 in Boot Camp (Mac Book Pro with Retina Display) on 13-Nov-2013, Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets are not working properly.
This is boot camp problem, because in other normal notebooks (e.g. SONY VAIO, Lenovo with Windows 7) the gadgets are working normally.
I am attaching the screen shot of Desktop Gadgets and Security updates of Windows 7.
Kindly solve this issue ASAP.

You are not addressing Apple, but a community of unpaid volunteers. So ASAP won't cut it. Also, you should refrain from posting personal information (like your email address) in the body of your comments, as this is part of the community usage guidelines.
Have you reinstalled the latest Boot Camp Windows 7 drivers, just in case Microsoft overwrote some of them during the Windows 7 security update?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Email notifications are not working anymore

Hi guys,
I use Grid Control 10.2.0.2 on Windows, and email notifications for critical alerts are not working anymore.
I didn't change anything to the OMS configuration, it just stopped one day, and when I ask for a test email (in "Setup -> Notifications methods" of in "Preferences") it is successfully delivered.
I didn't find anything related to this in log files, and nothing that could help here or on metalink.
Can anyone help about that weird issue ??
thanks in advance
Antoine

Have you gone back over your notification rules?
have you tried just creating a new notification rule and testing it?
Also take a look at Note:356774.1. If you've applied any patches (or done partition maintenance) you may have inadvertently lost all your jobs, which will break the email notications.
If still no joy, then try Note:285093.1.
let us know how you get on.

All my GPS Apps are not working anymore after upgrading to OS4

Hi folks,
all my GPS APPS are not working anymore since I upgraded to OS4.
I am living in Germany and using Iphone 3GS 32GB.
Are there any plans from apple to resolve this issue shortly ß Or shuld we
chance to google or Microsoft produkts....?

I'm getting very interested in GPS problems across the entire iOS device range. Ive got a 3GS and the GPS satellite fix stopped working completely recently. A fix identified using jailbreak and an ssh terminal tells me a good proportion of these problems are with locationd, the gps process in the iPhone, or more accurately, I think that it's possible for some of the data this process uses to become corrupted; the "fix" involves stopping the process and deleting the data it uses. On restart, locations is forced to rebuild the data, and everything then works.
I suspect this is true across the iPhone range - and worse, I think that the backup function in iTunes actually backs up the bad data. Thus, when you restore from backup, you actually put the problem back in! Either that, or GPS cache data isnt deleted when the iphone is restored.
What we need is an option in iTunes, or the iPhone settings, to clear GPS ephemeris and related data down and restart locationd: this will save apple a fortune in support at genius bars, as I reckon everyone who is getting a replacement is just getting a reblanked refurbished iPhone with no hardware fixes - they could be turning them around in the back of the stores!
We need to get some group pressure together to get an answer out of apple on this really - they do seem to have an approach which has much in common with the way the UK banks were dealing with overdraft fees - if you complained, they refunded just to keep you quiet and make sure you didn't shout. If this issue is an underlying gps driver or application demon issue, they should give us a way to work around the issue.

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS7, the controls on the headset are not working anymore. However, the controls are working on my friend's iPhone 5. Is this a common issue?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

After updating my iPod touch 3rd generation to IOS5 some default apps are not working (anymore)

Hi,
I updated my iPod touch 3g from IOS 4.x to IOS 5 last week and since then my iPod makes troublle!
First of all, during the update I did not see any Problems. After the update, I mean the step where the data will be restored to the iPod, I synchronized some APPS at the same time, maybe that was a big mistake. My iPod makes hard resets many times in a loop until it frozes.
So the only thing I could do here is pressing the home button and the power switch at the same time until it gets rebooted. The sync started again and it looked like everything runs fine.
As I tried to use iMessage first time I realised the first Problem: I am unable to loginto iMessage with my Apple ID. My Apple ID runs fine, I can by Apps and so on. I also enabled iCloud to see that my Apple ID is ok. But logging into iMessage I put in my Apple credentials and Password, click on next, wait 3 seconds and the screen flips back. So this feature is not working.
Next issue I see is that randomly my iPod hard resets itself. Even if I don't do anything with my iPod I can see that it resets itself, booting with the apple icon. This happens minimum three times a day... (Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV), Kern_INVALID_ADDRESSat 0x00000000)
Today I tried YouTube, an internal Application which I cannot reinstall. It's not working anymore, starting YouTube says: Unable to connect to YouTube!
I have no clue whats going on here because email and web is working fine.
In my eyes I would like to reset the whole device to a state before running IOS5 and I would try the update again. But my Question is how to reinstall IOS5?
If IOS5 will not run smoothly on my iPod, I would prefer to backref to iOS4x.
Is there anyone who could help me out here?
Thanks,
Daniel

Found the rootcause. The battery was damaged and unable to have enough power to keep the device alive. After changing the device problem is solved.

The contacts in the ear phone hole are not working anymore!

I have a Movie IPOD...I guess 5th gen. Its about 3 years old, I take good care of it. I have my ear phones for when Im out of the car, and a cord for my car radio that plugs into the ear phone hole. Well all of a sudden the ear phone hole and its contacts inside of it, are not working properly. I only get sound out of the left side of my car speakers and me ear phones. It has no warrenty and I am just wondering please tell me there is a place where such things can be fixed. Please tell me that I can take it to an apple store and get it repaired, like same day type thing.
Thank you...

I have the exact same problem, sound only comes from left side unless you juggle wire, twist it etc. i now spend more time trying to get it to work right then actually listening to it. So I believe it is time for a new Ipod. Apple wont replace any internal parts but will send you a new/ refurbished ipod identical to yours for around $125. You will, however, need to reload all songs, pictures, etc. 3rd party sites will sell you a new headphone jack for around $100 but most require you to install it yourself. Opening the Case will void the warranty. Which brings up another good point: if you still have a warranty (1 year from Apple, possible store/ credit card extension) use it. Your final option is to give your ipod to an apple store where they will recycle it for you and give you a 10% discount on a new Ipod of your choice. This has made me lose faith in Apple. I have had 2 ipods which both stopped working in less than 2 years. i love apple design and interface but quality is low. hope this helps!!

Start & windows Settings are not working

i Recently Updated to windows 10 Technical Preview SL, Evaluation Copy. Build 9926
I can't access Start neither by Windows Start Window Icon nor by the Key Board Windows Button.
I thought that the problem would be solved by the updates, but the windows updates is no longer in the control panel and the PC SETTINGS is not launching and the window opens only having the Settings enlarged icon.
Thank You,

Thank You,
This is a direct copy from Insider Hub regarding how to check for Windows Updates when Start Menu is not functioning. Hope it also applies to your issue.....
Start menu
When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart

ICloud and Photos app are not working anymore after updating iOS 8.0.2 !!!

I've just upgraded iOS 8.0.2 with .ipsw file. It asked for my iCloud password in Set Up. It says it's wrong. So i skipped it.
I tap iPhoto and it tells me to marge the photos to Photos app. It was going fine and then suddenly, it closed. Now i can't open the Photos app anymore. I've rebooted and deleted iPhoto app. I can't even open through Camera.
I can't see my profile in iCloud (in Settings). It's keeping me the password. Its still wrong. I can't even turn off Find My iPhone to restore my iPhone. It says verification failed.
I don't know what to do anymore. I still can use my iCloud on my Computer. I still can use everything and everywhere except on my iPhone.

You are not alone. I got that issue also. I always reboot my phone or reset the network setting but it only work for a few hours.

I'm running Windows 7, 64 bits and I suddenly encountered this problem, apparently none of these basic Windows things are working, I can't turn them on in anyway I've tried, and apparently I have no viruses in my computer. Has anyone encountered the same
problem? What could it be? Help please @_@

Hi,
It seems like system components corrupt, is there any error message when these tools doesn't work?
Please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.
In addition, please try to use SFC /Scannow command to fix system file for test.
