A simple way to see and choose a photo album's audience An updated design that makes it easier to post and share on iPad Improvements for reliability and speed Looking through the history of the updates, it's a bit of an odd occurrence that they went from v7…

The iPad 4 could be set to replace the ancient iPad 2 as Apple's lower-end, full-sized tablet as early as tomorrow. Combined with rumors of an 8GB iPhone 5c, if everything plays out, we could see an end to the venerable 30-pin Dock connector, and the new Lightning plug run the Apple line. Mark Gurman writing for 9to5Mac: With the $399 iPad 2 seeing extreme supply constraints, it seems likely that this fourth-generation model is designed to re-ignite iPad growth at the $399 price point and it will replace the aging iPad 2. The iPad 2 remains Apple’s last tablet with the legacy 30-pin dock connector, and the return of the fourth-generation iPad would bring Lightning p…

How long will XP updates up until April 2014 be available. If I reformat Windows XP in July 2014 can I still get all the updates prior to April 2014? I still use SCSI Plextor CDR recorders for the real time 1X speed burn duplication. I tried windows 7 32 bit with the Adaptec 2930 controller card that is supported (32 bit only). But windows 7 did not like those CDR drives. I had to reformat back to XP pro. Rick Continue reading...

Hello During the update process of the most recent Windows 8 update I had a machine blue screen. After restarting the PC, it tried to automatically repair the system but failed, leaving a text document called srttrail.txt. I then tried using the command prompt under the troubleshooting section of the recovery environment and navigated to the user's documents area. I found that all the user's documents have been deleted apart from one or two files. I then found out that the disk usage was about 30GB used whereas it was more closer to around 500gb+ before. All the user installed programs had gone too. I took the HDD out, put it in another PC and ran Recuva to see…

I keep getting an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL blue screen when I boot Windows normally. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling audio and video drivers, attempted a system restore, and used diagnostic startup to turn off anything that I could imagine interfering.

I have this virus(win64/Rovnix.gen!C) on my Toshiba Laptop, Windows Vista, Home Edition, 64 bit. All attempts at downloading, from Windows Defender Offline, to the latest Kaspersky free downloads have been futile. For example, on Defender Offline i am told to connect to the internet, of course I am, or with Kaspersky, i am told 'unable to complete', or other such dialogue boxes. I am not truly computer savvy but am i correct in assuming this virus stops the 'fixing' procedures i am trying to do? My home/family desktop is an old xp model, and it will not allow me to do any of the steps either. Any suggestions, help!!!...Thanks... Continue reading...
