Windows Store should have a "Desktop App" or "Windows Store App" filters.

Hi all,
I don't know where to post this or how to feedback to the "Store" app.
My friends and I think Windows Store should have a "Desktop App" filter feature.
Thinking when you search for the app and have some Desktop apps appear in search result can be sometime frustrated.
Or some user just want to find some desktop app for his PC, he should search in Windows Store easily by just filter only desktop apps.
I think it would be a great feature for Windows Store.
Thanks.

Hello P.
when you have the Windows-10-Preview, you can use the feedback-function to provide the information to microsoft directly. As Microsoft meantioned in the live-Stream (21/01/2015), microsoft is giong to listen to users feedback.

US iBooks Store should have access to ALL books worldwide

The US is very rich in cultures. For instance it has a very big Latin American population. The iBooks store should have access to the Spanish books sold in Spanish countries so that this portion of US citizens can read books in their native language. The same goes for every other culture in the US. That's why I'm saying that the US iBooks Store should have access to ALL the libraries in the world of iBooks Stores. Thanks.

To expand on Tamara's answer a little, the publishing industry (books, music, movies, etc) is not a world-wide monolith. Each country has its own copyright laws which sometimes are quite different from even countries bordering it. This has led to publishers having many subsidiaries and/or working agreements with local publishers. A British author doesn't need to have his/her work translated (which adds its own copyright issues to the meld) but still will require both a US and a UK publisher for the book to be published in both countries. It isn't just a simple matter of lots of books being printed and then shipping some of them across the ocean.
This mess has existed for a very long time and Apple can't just wave a wand and make it go away.

What should have the next update of Windows Phone ...

In the next firmware update of Nokia Lumia 1020 and all the Windows Phone 8.3 update should have at least 4 extra functions and 8 updates.
1. To exist 4 arrows up, down, left and right or at least the 2 basic arrows which is left and right in typing messages keyboard.
Cause i have big fingers and i cant go exactly to the letter of the word that i want to correct - change.
2. In typping messages i prefer to draw the letters just as i was writing to a blank paper or at least like SWYPE.
3. I want to predownload the Sattelite View maps of a country and not just the ordinary one.
4. It should have Ring Profiles such us Meeting, Loud Area, Silence and other.
A. Need update the levels of the brightness of the screen.
At this moment it has only 3 steps (Low-Medium-High), so it needs at least 2 more such us (Very Low and Very High).
B. In Screen Lock needs up to 10 options for software fast state.
C. In Fast Eye View in Night Mode should have not only 3 colors such us (Red,Green,Blue) but all the 20 colors that Thems has.
The Size of the clock should be adjustable and not just one size.
It should have at least 3 sizes (Small-Medium-Large).
D. The camera should take only 1 photo in 38MP and not 2 photos 5MP+38MP.
Also we should have the ability to edit the 38MP on my phone and not only on my PC.
E. In Bluetooth i dont have any options.
I need to change my BlueTooth Name and i cant.
Also I want to set some BlueTooth devices to white and black list and i cant.
F. I should have the option to know how much battery i have in percentage between 0-100% also in minutes left.
G. In Wifi options i should know how much in percent is the signal between 0-100%.
H. The tiles even when it is in small or medium size should be move as it was in large size.
Also anyone who has any ideas that should been add any new funtion or anything else in the next Widnows Phone Update added down please.
P.S. I have the Nokia PureView 808 and i want to transfer Contacts, Messages, Calendars, Notes, Photos, Music, Videos to my new Nokia Lumia 1020 and i cant.
How can i transfer it all fast, secure and easy?

Hello Paul.
Thank you for your time and for your continue helping me.
I see all help Nokia Videos and i did all your steps tha you suggest me.
1. Ok but is says up something about Hotmail can i remove the hotmail option also?.
2. I deselect the Sync for the accounts but still left some contacts inside my phone.
Also when i want to backup my telephone numbers what i must do but not get messed with the email accounts.
I want to backup the phone numbers as i did with my nokia account.
My nokia account doesnt work with my lumia 1020.
3. In the 1st i need to tap 2 times and then save.
Cause the 1st menu is History Calls and if i tab once continue then the only option that i have is erase element.
When i tab once then it goes me to profil for call and sms so i tab continue the call number and gives me the option copy.
This to moves could be as one as it is in Symbian Belle.
Not need to tab 2 times.
In the 1st menu when i tab continue should give me 3 options Edit,Copy,Erase.
Thats why Symbian Belle still rules.
4. I dont want to use 1st the name cause also i have more contacts that have the same name than have contacts who have the same last name.
Also many of the names and last names i have it use more than 10 characters in 1st and in last name each.
So total is more than 20 characters without spaces or other characters.
for example "Panagiotis Papadopoulos" is 23 characters most of the names that i have inside is between 20-30 characters.
Please do something about that.
5. Still need fix must disconnect the volume zoom from ringtone and vibration.
Also need vibration some choices as continoues or with short pauses or increasing - decrease vibrating.
6. I have 3 classes which are 40 people in each.
So total is 120 students.
I cant do 6 Groups for informing them.
I need 1 up to 3 Groups not more.
Also my co-workers are about 100 I cant do more than 1 or 2 Groups.
My relatives are also about 60 also i need 1 Group again.
I cant have so many groups as you tell me.
Basicly I need 3 Groups to be easy and practicaly for me not 20 Groups.
If Groups is not about then for what is?
Also why in Symbian Belle i could add as many as i wanted and here i cant?
What then i need to do 3 Groups?
7. I try to do what you are telling me and it works only when i am not use 1st the search button.
1st i must found the people that i want to inform.
For example i set character 1 for class 1
then when i use the search to find who is in class 1
then shows me all the students in class 1
but i must choose everyone, one by one and do all the same steps from the beggining.
it should give me the option when has found the 30 person to set some box in the left and chooce all of them.
That is not happening.
Please check it.
8. Finaly I found my 5MP + 38MP in the phone but 1st i must extract the 38MP to my computer so to edit.
But i want to use always only my 38MP and never my 5MP photos.
So we need some how to disable the option to take 2 pictures one 5MP and one 38MP.
Its must take only one 38MP and nothing else.

When are retirement dates for certification MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7 and MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7?

Hi,
So what's the current situation with the MCIPT certifications in Windows 7?
MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7
MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7
The certifications had previously been scheduled to retire in July 31, 2013.
Then that deadline was extended and they were due to retire in January 31, 2014
Presently, the certifications are listed on the ever unhelpful Microsoft Learning website
MCITP page and the
windows certifications
page.
In typical Microsoft Learning unhelpfulness there is a bland, confusing and uninformative statement saying
"Most MCITP certifications will be retired by July 31, 2014. Please check the
retired certifications and
retired exams pages for specific retirement dates."
Naturally, Microsoft aren't being specific about which MCITP certifications are being retired.
To be more obstructive and confusing, us poor learners are invited to check the retired certifications page, which only lists certifications that have already retired, for information about when a certification
will retire in the future. I have seen this done repeatedly in this forum and on borntolearn.mslearn.net in reply to questions about future certificate retirement, which is totally useless and perhaps deliberately deceptive, as the exam aren't
being discontinued and there's no info about future certification retirement.
There has previously been actual helpful information on the Microsoft learning webpages with statements explaining that whilst in a transistion between the older style MCITP and newer MCSA certification for Windows 7, that both certification titles will
be awarded until x date, when the MCITP will be retired and the MCSA will be awarded only. I can't see anything like that on the site at the moment.
I'd be most grateful if
anyone can link me to a Microsoft press release / blog / webpage that announced the scrapping of the January 31, 2014 deadline (as I must of missed this announcement)
anyone can give an update on the current Microsoft thinking about when this certificate will retire? Especially any links to announcements.
are both MCSA and MCITP certifications still being awarded?
advise what's the best way of staying up to date with multiple changes to exam and certification retirement announcement? (apart from borntolearn, which is awful and again, just directs back to the retired exams/certifications pages)
Many thanks everybody!
edit: formatting and spelling

Why choose a near retiring credential ?
* Have ever you applied for a job with keyword requirements ? Employers can be (and have been) insanely specific. (Then again that sort of gatekeeping for employment usually guarantees a fresh batch of pathological liars are your applicants, but I digress.)
* Also could be on a time deadline, e.g. contract bid requires x number of people to be certified, CompTIA requirement deadline could be arriving, and so on.
* Taking 2K08 exams when working in a 2K08 environment is probably easier than jumping into the next version without any access to it (other than building your own virtual servers or labs).
My current employer uses 2K08 not 2K12. There are also 2K03 servers still in production (eventually being phased out).
I don't know what the stats are today but (in 2012) 2K08 was leading over 2k12 in market share.
I thought that's what truly drives these exams' and certification's availability.

Apple app store should have option to download older versions.

I have experienced these many times that newer application does not work and we have to wait for bug fix release and we do not have choice to come back on older version.
Benefits of this provision
1. User can download stable version if one found some critical bug.
2. Reduce Older iOS compatibility issues.
3. Reduce Older iPhone compatibility issues.
It hurts when we purchase apps and these do not work for any problem. Apple Inc. should co-ordinate to developers and make provisions for downword compatibility and choice to have any version of application.

You are not addressing Apple here.

Why do I have a question mark in my Finder window. I have no previous or next window arrows.

My finder windows now have a question mark next to Action icon. I cannot flip between previous and next window.

The question is an orphaned alias, command-drag it off and "poof" it.
Then right click on Finder toolbar and choose "Customize toolbar" and drag the "Back" button onto it.

Need to re-install Windows, but I have no recovery partition or Windows DVD

Dear Reader,
Recently Windows got broken on my Toshiba Satellite L650-170.
I have tried to use my back-up, but the back-up utility refused my back-ups.
After some research the disk appears to be healthy, however all partitions on the disk seem to be damaged somehow.
So I am without both a Windows Disk nor Recovery Partition.
How can I get Windows back on my notebook using the windows key attached to it?
(A friend told me that using another windows 7 disk wont work)
Kind Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter
If you dont have access to original recovery partition the question is: what do you want to have installed on your notebook?
If you want to have factory settings again you must install OS using original Toshiba recovery disc. You can order it on http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
If you want to have own OS installation you can use original Microsoft disc with valid license code. Product key at the bottom of your notebook cannot be used for activation.
If you have more questions you are welcome.

Window sizes settings have somehow changed and my windows do not open in the correct size anymore. How do I get my original window sizes to come back PERMANENTLY?

After upgrading to FF 10.0, my window sizes are not correct. I use a web-based invoicing system and my invoice windows used to open to the size of the invoice. Now, it opens invoices in full screen. I need the invoice windows to open the way the site tells them to open. How do I make that happen again and never change after that?

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. So it could be that an extension is causing it. You can try to isolate it starting with script blockers and similar extensions and '''Disable''' or '''Remove''' it.
Please also note that safe mode also disables hardware acceleration: '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''': '''Use hardware acceleration when possible'''.

Trying to buy Imovie form App store and have the message: These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update. How to solve it?

I have a MBP form July 2011, upgraded to Lion 10.7.4. Last week I had to restore the OS.
I also bought some time ago Iphoto.
Today I wanted to install Imovie from App Store. Instead of the Buy bottom I found an Accept bottom and when I tryed to install I had the message:
These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update.
I looked for a solution and found a lot of questions about this error but not real answers to fix it.
Can you please let me know hoe to fix?

Your Mac should have had all three of the iLife apps pre-bundled with it; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. If your Mac came with Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed, then the apps should be on the Install DVD that came with your Mac, perhaps in a folder on the disc labeled bundled apps. After installing them, these apps would not be updated through the Mac App Store, but with Software Update.

How does the Mac App Store compare to MacUpdate Desktop?

So far I have been using MacUpdate desktop to keep ALL my apps up-to-date, a very easy process. With the advent of the Mac App Store I now have to deal with two processes to achieve that.
What do all think about the usefulness of creating a separate and closed update environment with the Mac App Store? Is this better? Or not?

MacUpdate Desktop will find updates to over 30,000 (and growing every day - MacUpdate is updated 24/7) Mac apps, screen savers, widgets, pref panes, and plug-ins. The MAS will only manage and update apps you have purchases from Apple through the MAS, and will not update non-apps (widgets, pref panes, screen savers, or plug-ins) and the MAS does not contain many popular commercial applications from major software companies. The MAS also requires an Intel Mac and Mac OS 10.6 or later - MacUpdate Desktop will run on PPC and update PPC apps too, on Mac OS 10.5 or later. You can easily browse and search for apps on MacUpdate.com, and then with a single click, have MacUpdate Desktop download and install any app of interest. The community support on MacUpdate.com - reviews and similar app suggestions - make discovering new apps fast and easy. Any apps purchased from MacUpdate Promo will also be displayed in MacUpdate Desktop, allowing you to easily download and install them as well. MacUpdate actively develops and updates MacUpdate Desktop and continues to add new features and benefits. Feel free to contact MacUpdate with any further questions - desktop<at>macupdate<dot>com.

My desktop pc runs windows xp which is shortly to be discontinued. my laptop is macpro retina can i get a virus to my mac vis my desktop?

i have a desktop pc running windows xp, shortly i will be losing any future updates including security protection. i am going to purchase a mac pro retina. can my laptop get infected if connected wirelessly to my desktop?

Make sure your router is also up to date. The number of people with out of date routers and firmware isn't as bad as XP users hanging on but does pose problems.
It does not cost much to put together a current Haswell motherboard + cpu + new RAM + SSD for the system (and copy of Windows 8.1+) to be up and running and current - and supported.
Even so, you should be using some 3rd party security product already.

If you have a music downloader app (depends on which you have), plug your iDevice into iTunes, go to your device (on itunes), go to your apps, scroll down, and select the app thats holding your music, click on "Save As" (should be located bottom right corner), save the music to your specific folder. Once done, follow through this: Adding music and other content to iTunes and you should have your music on your iDevice music app.
Hope this helps.

TV Go app for Windows

Can someone from Comcast please answer my question? I would like to know if/when Xfinity will offer the TV Go app for the Windows platform. I have a Windows-based tablet and would really like to have this functionality on my tablet.

Thanks for your response. I have a hybrid Windows laptop...it functions as both a regular notebook computer as well as a tablet (Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook). I'm running Windows 8.1 on it. So I took your advice and went to the website to watch live TV. It seems that the only networks I can get the live video to work are the ESPN and Disney networks, again using Windows 8.1. I also have a desktop that runs Windows 7 and all the networks seem to work fine on Window 7. Can you tell me if full Windows 8 support for live TV will happen soon?I don't have Windows 8 myself, but I've seen several comments from other users who are having problems with it. I can suggest you try installng a different browser. I personally use Chrome and have never had any serious problems using the web site. It doesn't harm anythiing haing more than one browser installed on your PC (I have four different installed myself). I'll be "upgrading" to Windows 8 myself in a few weeks, so I'll be eager to know if Chrome works for you. Good luck!

Windows Store should have a "Desktop App" or "Windows Store App" filters.
