Windows 8.1 default app is not working

However, several of them still refuse to function even after the reinstall, mostly it sees to
be the apps that came with Windows (Mail, Calendar, People, Music, and Video). I say mostly because Games would not work either but after I uninstalled and reinstalled it it started to work again, so it is not all the defaults apps, just some.
The problem is different now though, instead of saying they can't start it is almost like they launch but immediately minimize to the desktop. You can click their icon on the task bar and they well jump to full screen and then right back to the task
bar.Has this been the experience of anyone else and can anyone provide me with guidance on correcting this please?

Hi,
There might several causes for this situation, an app that is not updated, a windows firewall block, you can find the following way to fix this.
Keeping your app up to date is one way to help keep them working. You can do this by making sure that automatic app updates are turned on in the Windows Store.
By default, some apps are blocked by Windows Firewall to help make your PC more secure. To work properly, you might need to allow an app to receive info through the firewall in the way listed in the link below:
If you continue experiencing problems with an app, or if you're unable to open the Store, you can run the app troubleshooter for help:

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.

Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Now EOS Utility app does not work.

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Tried downloading photos from my 5D Mark II, but EOS Utility app does not work to Select Images to Download, unlike before. But when I disconnected my External Hard Drive, EOS Utility app main window works normally. I need the external hard drive connected all the time. How can I fix this problem, please? Thanks.

This sounds like a hardware problem with your computer. A USB port puts out a certain amount of power and can be used to power external devices... such as hard drives. But the camera does not use any USB power -- it runs on the power from the internal battery. It only uses the data pins to communicate. But you are describing a situation in which having one device connected a to a USB port prevents a different USB port from working. That can happen if the device in one port is drawing too much power (it can prevent other ports from working correctly.) Did you have this problem when using Windows 7?

Windows 8.1 Mail app does not sync with the Office 365 account

My company has recently switched to Office 365. Windows 8.1 Metro Mail app does not work with Office365 account. When I switch to IMAP it works but that is soon going to be disabled and is not compliant with the company policy.
I can add the account and it also pushes the security policies but it does not sync email at all. Says account is not available. The tablet shows up on the mobile devices on the office 365 and I could also remote wipe it.
It seems everything works except basing email sync. What could be the issue?

My appstore app is not working on my macbook pro?

my appstore app is not working on my macbook pro? It simply shows a piece of paper with a pencil, ruler and paint brush.

Hi...
Delete the app and all the associated files using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com

How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
If you continue to have problems with the app you can report it to Apple here > Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support
And go to the app at the App Store. You should see a link to the app developer's site for support.

Window 10 upgrade. Graphics driver not working even after re-install

Notebook pavilion DV6 3280. Just upgraded to Windows 10 and AMD graphics driver not working even after re-install. What do I do? Is there another driver not on the HP Website that I should try?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Mac App Store not working? (Glitching and flashing!)

Mac App Store not working? (Glitching and flashing!)
I was at my friends house, everything was working fine. I went to my girlfriends house, everything was still working fine. Then once I got home, I got back out my 2010 MacBook Pro 15" to use and some pages on the internet looked a little odd. They were all in HTML format and wouldn't go back (Pages such as Skype and Apple's main page). I thought they were just down or being fixed up, but then I went to update my Mac under the App Store. I clicked the App store and a message popped up saying "App Store cannot verify a secure connection with the App Store." The options were "Cancel" or "Continue". I clicked "Continue" so I could update my Mac, but weird enough, the App Store started flickering (strobing; blinking) as seen in this video by someone with the same problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De8aQZccRvA
I do not know what to do or why this is happening, so help would be VERY nice.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

I have the same problem. I contacted magic jack, and after more than an hour of waiting, here is the final part of our discussion, before I had to leave to go to work:
Me: the magic jack app has worked fine for months unregistered. Never had a problem before. I must go to work now. I will leave the chat box open. if you could, send me a list of possible fixes and I will try to apply them when I get back. Please write in detail. Is there a way that I can get in touch and get a senior rep on right away to handle my problem when I get back, or do I hae to wait again when I call next time?
Kara: I am one of the senior rep here and in fact one of the supervisors . Here is what you are going to do:
Kara: Once you register the magicjack app into your Iphone, we can refresh your account connections here manually however if you dont register it, no options in our end to work for your connections since the MJ app is not used to be registered. No worries, we can remove your account if you dont want the service anymore for free.
+++++++++++++++++
So, it would seem that either there is a problem that they don't know about, or else magic jack is trying to force everyone to not choose option 3 on the opening screen, the one which allows you to continue to make a call without registering.
Has anyone received a solution to this problem from magic jack support?
