Windows Contacts and Windows 8?

This is a question for people on the operating system team: What is the role of the Contacts Folder in Windows 8? Do the Contacts sync with the metro People app, Windows Live Mail, or Windows Messenger? If not, is it pretty much an abandoned
feature?

Hi,
In Windows Live Mail, it will sync Windows Live Messenger contact and Windows Contacts. Regarding People app, it just sync Windows Live Messenger contacts default, it won't sync Windows Contacts on local computer.
The role of the Contacts folder is same in Windows 7

Syncing iPhone Contacts with Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail Contacts (Windows 7)

I understand your second statement about the needing Outlook - but I'm trying to reconcile it with your first paragraph - there is support for calendar events over the air between Windows Live and iPhone? So it can be done, just not physically through syncing via iTunes?

Synchronised iPad, iPhone, Windows Laptop and Windows Desktop. iPhone contains 500+ Contacts whilst other three devices only display 170 Contacts. I have Shared several Contacts via Message from iPhone. On creating new Contact from each Message, each Contact appears twice on iPad, Laptop and Desktop via iCloud. Assume that a Setting has locked out the Contacts other than the 170 that do appear as duplications indicate that each Contact already exists on the three devices. Appreciate any advice to see all 500+ Contacts on all devices.

Audiobooks normally only allow one download per purchase; this is also the case with alert tones, ringtones, and some movies. They need to be moved manually; if desired, you can network the computers and use file sharing instead of a thumbdrive.

Compatibilityy issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0

Compatibility issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0?comcom

You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

Would like some opinions re: best backup software/external hard drives for windows xp and windows 7

Recently tried to restore a corrupted hard drive with a Toshiba canvio hard drive with NTI Backup Now EZ I purchased in 2010. Was only able to restore a few files, had a very hard time working with the software, even contacted NTI, still not much luck. Am unhappy with the NTI software, and want to know what external hard drives and what software the community has used and would recommend for Windows XP and Windows 7? Thank you so much in advance for your time and opinions.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It doesn't matter which external drive you use.
Let's talk about backing up the entire drive. Be sure to burn the disc that enables you to restore.
Windows XP does not have a decent image backup built-in. I understand this free one works well.
EaseUS Todo Backup Free
Windows 7 has a decent one.
Learn more about system image backup
Windows 8 contains the same backup. Open "Windows 7 File Recovery" (sdclt.exe).

Synchronizing software for Windows 7 and Windows Mobile

Hi All,
I am trying to synchronize my PC with a Windows Mobile device (Scanner). When I googled I came to know Microsoft Mobile Device Center 6.1 is used to synchronize Windows Vista with many devices. But I am looking for a software which can synchronize my Windows
7 PC and Mobile Device.
Can someone suggest me on this. It's pretty urgent.
Please refer to the System Requirements - Supported Devices section in the url mentioned below. This is for Windows Vista. Similar to this I am expecting a software for Windows 7.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=3182&hash=brh0xPqEh%2fYvZrNW0SOms8%2bsu3y9ux3a7FJ82ZE%2fKs5tbE5ltglLsiv%2fE1zCxMJLIpRUpN8wayd5sLmhjkXdag%3d%3d

Hi,
Regarding sync issue between mobile device and the Windows 7 system, we could accomplished it with device stage.
Description:
There are two primary ways to sync a mobile phone, portable music player, or other mobile device with your computer. You can install the sync software that many manufacturers include with their devices, or you can use the new Device Stage feature in this
version of Windows if your device supports this feature.
Device Stage lets you sync music, contacts, calendars, and other files and information with a compatible mobile device. It also allows you to perform other device-related tasks that vary depending on the device, such as creating ringtones for a mobile phone.
What files and information you can sync depends on the type of device you have and what it supports. For example, you may be able to sync contacts and calendars with a smartphone, but not with a portable music player.
More information, we could take a look at the below links:
Sync music, pictures, contacts, and calendars with a mobile device
Device management
Besides, some folks told that Winodows Mobile Device Center 6.1.6965 will work and sync well on Windows 7 Professional, and to install WMDC, we should have Windows Media Player running first.
Please take a look at the below thread:
Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 6.5
Hope this may help

Is PS Elements 12.0 compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail??

Is the Organize/eMail part of Elements 12.0 compatible with my Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail? I have never been able to make it work with my Elements 9.0 after many hours of trying. The problem is acknowledged by Adobe and a solution offered but the solution does not work in any of my three Windows 7 computers. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Brian, Thank you for responding. I actually have two different questions on the same topic so I'll discuss them one at a time.
1. When I purchased a new Windows 7 computer several years ago I also purchased PSE 9.0 because I had been told my old PSE 4.0 would not work with W7. I didn't get around to installing it until last fall--PSE 4.0 was working fine on the XP machine and I didn't have the time. PSE 9.0 installed fine but I could not email a photo from the Organizer. I recently got interested in fixing the problem which has turned out to be more difficult than I could imagine. I found a lot of evidence on the web that to make it work with W7/Windows Live Mail you needed to make some patches in the registry. I tried to follow the Adobe instruction a number of times but when I got down to: " 4. On your desktop, double-click SetDefaultEmailClient.reg. If prompted, click Continue. Click Yes on the Registry Editor confirmation prompt." it would not work. Double clicking would bring up the browser with some register-like statements: [Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Live\\Mail\\wlmail.exe /mailurl:%1" ]. I did not get a "Continue" to click on or a "Yes on the Registry Editor confirmation prompt". I got nothing to take action on that might cause the registry to be updated with the specified patches. I'm no expert on modifying the registry and this is beyond my understanding. It just didn't do what it implied it would and I'm lost. I've tried in on my WLM 2011 computer and on my brand new W7 notebook computer with WLM 2012. I tried it using my normal browser, Firefox, and using Internet Explorer.
PSE 9.0 does indeed show Windows Live Mail as an option under Edit/Preferences/Sharing and I have selected it. When I try to share a photo via email all seems to go normally to the end when I get the message: "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message." And, that is really not very helpful. When I Google on that "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message" I find that I'm far from being the only one with this problem and people with PSE 8.0, PSE 10.0 and PSE 11.0 have reported the problem. I've found no way to communicate with Adobe and even their main support number, 800-883-6687, comes on with a message "this number is temporarily unavailable"!! I've called over 50 times over several days. That seems quite unusual. It seems like selling a software product that is incompatible with one of the most popular Microsoft operating systems and email clients would not be a good thing. Sorry for all the words but I wanted to define the situation as well as I can.
2. Given all of the time I've I spent without solving the problem it seemed tossing my PSE 9.0 and switching to PSE 12.0 might have been a smart move many months ago. And, I'm considering it now. That is why I really would like to get some assurance from Adobe that the problem is fixed and that I will have no problems with PSE 12.0, at least with emailing from the Organizer. The news that it is working for you is encouraging and I hope others will report on the luck they have had. You say it works better with WLM 2012 than with WLM 2011 but I don't know what that means. It seems that the minimum requirement is that any time you want to send a photo via email, it works!
If anyone knows how you can contact Adobe, by phone or email, please let me know.
Thank you very much, Brian.

Windows 7 and Windows 8 in the same computer

I have HP Pavilion HDX9300 with two hard discs. I have installed Windows 7 in och of them and Windows 8 in the other. Both W7 and W8 works when the disc is placed in one of the discplaces but not in the other.
If I want to change from W7 to W8 I thus have to change place for the hard disc. My desire is to change from W7 to W8 without changing places for the harddiscs. Is it possible? If so, how do I do?

I believe the second hard drive bay in the HDX9300 is not bootable. You need to load Windows 8 on the same hard drive as Windows 7 as a dual boot.
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/143380-how-to-dual-boot-windows-8-and-windows-7
You could then use the second drive as storage accessible to both operating systems.

Problem dual booting Windows 8 and windows 7 G480

I bought new laptop g480 and it comes with windows 8 single language and I want to dual boot it with windows 7 Ultimate. So I create one partition 50 Gig using Minitool Partition Wizard, after that I boot into USB device ( I've bootable Windows 7 USB and already disable secure boot in BIOS). The process went fine until it ask me where to install the windows, so I choose the partition 50 Gig I created before but I get this message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk of the GPT partition style". Help me guys how to solve this problem, I've searched solution for this but non of them seems working for me. Step by step will be good for me. I hope to get quick reply for this because I've this problem since 2 days ago and never get solution .
Thank you.
Solved!

Hi @CharlyAR
I tried your solution before I posted the message here but it didn't work but then I give it try again and I manage to install the Windows 7 ultimate. Now my pc dual boot with windows 7 and windows 8 (windows 8 is the main OS).
p.s. This is important guys, if u want to make windows 7 bootable USB by following the tutorial on youtube it wont work if you pc/laptops is pure GPT (UEFI) because most of them using MBR to make the tutorial thats why it look easy and works for them, it's almost same but there's "add-on" with GPT mode. You have to make the windows 7 bootable USB in GPT (UEFI) mode or it wont let you install. I couldn't find tutorial for this GPT mode on youtube.
All I do is search my old DVD-RW and erase it and I follow the tutorial here, same what @CharlyAR told me

Thumbnails not working in windows 7 and windows 7 RC

When I used to view my security camera video card in Vista I would get a thumbnail view of each 10 second video produced.. This made it easy to skip through each video produced and pick out the ones that I thought would be best to check. This would be watched after about a week or so of videos. Now in Windows 7 and windows 7 RC I cannot seem to find this thumbnail view. All I can see is the media player film type .AVI icon for each video. Is there any way of turning the thumbnail function back on. I have tried all the registry fix changes that have been suggested and they don't work. I have downloaded different codec programs and they don't work. The icon/thumbnail box is unchecked in folder views and that doesn't work. Is there an answer to my problem. Does any one know if Microsoft are working on a change to get thumbnails to work with .AVI files. Hope you can help.

Hi guys,
I found a solution for this issue on windows 7 64 bits !
I'm on the 7100 I couldn't get thumbnail preview for my .MOV or .mp4 files. Sometime I could get one or 2 thumb out of 30 in the folder.
I changed and added a few key to the registry to fix this preview thing:
IN REGEDIT:
_ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
where I only had 2 key inside the shellex.
_I looked inside the mpeg shellex ( because mpeg would generate good thumbnails:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
where it had 3 keys
_SO what I tried was to copy those 3 key and replace my .mov shellex 3 key with those.
this is what you can do:
-open regedit
-right click on: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
then export it ( it will be your backup in case it doesn't work or you mess up something you will just have to click on it to instal it again.
Then,
- remove the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\ "KEY
-open notepad
-paste the following in your notepad file:
-----------------------don't paste this line-------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{3D1975AF-0FC3-463d-8965-4DC6B5A840F4}]
@=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{E357FCCD-A995-4576-B01F-234630154E96}]
@="{9DBD2C50-62AD-11D0-B806-00C04FD706EC}"
-----------------------don't paste this line-------------------------
-save it under whatevername.reg ( be sure to use "all file" kind of type file.)
-double click on the reg file you just saves you just saved , it will reinstal the shellex inside the .mov key here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov
with the right keys and stuff.
-close regedit
-open a folder containing your .MOV, refresh the files several times to be sure, it should be working.

I have disabled all Kaspersky security, windows firewall and windows defender and Itunes still will not update my Ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 5, Helppppp!

I'm on the internet right now, and I DO have a internet connection, but it tells me Itunes says otherwise. I'm able to send this message on the same pc with internet connection but keep running into this error. I have now read discussiong boards through apple and disabled all my firewalls, still no luck. I was able to update the lates version of itunes, and just waiting to get my ipod updated now, please help me.

On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor after I installed Mcafee Internet Security.
Hi I installed 1of 3 McAfee Internet Security protections on my HP laptop a few weeks ago with no issues. I Have a Dell XPS 420 desk top with Windows Vista operating
system, it’s never had any issues, until 2 nights ago I installed McAfee Internet Security (detected incompatible files and will remove) pc now only boots up to a black screen with a mouse cursor, it will show the windows logo and a hash symbol floating around
the screen. Now 2 weeks ago I installed the same program on my Dell all in one desk top with Windows 7, the same issue happen but that pc has no screen activity, I tried a back to factory reboot on this one, still black screen.

Hi,
Please install the compatible version of McAfee Internet Security:

if you have startup issue, you can boot into Safe Mode to uninstall the problematic software to go back into Windows.

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

Restarted router(s) and it works again.
