You will need a Blu-Ray DVD player.No, the digital copies I'm afraid we're gonna need more info....where are they from ? ....what file extension ? ?...ETC. etc...I don't know since, I can't play them OH you used the code on the inside of the Movie Case... That ULTRAVIOLET..lol I have some movies with this code but have never used them. I just play the DISC, but anyways...

You will need to have an acct with them and then be online to view streaming etc. I am guessing you already have an acct and just have a viewer issue, if this is the case then please specify what OS version and Browser your using and if Flash and Silverlight are up to date?


The FAQ section might have a solution too: https://www.myuv.com/en/us/faqHow should I know, I am running Android. I was told that I needed nook in order too get them too work.***sigh******sigh*** x 2 So you both don't know? I more or less paid for itQuote

Hi,

New to the site so hello all. I'm having an issue and I'm not quite sure what it is, when I'm on the net and using my usual websites (Facebook, business stuff etc) I could be on it and if I need to do something I may close them and sometimes when I come back I try to open the same website I was just on say 5 minutes ago I get an error message saying "This webpage is not available, ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" KEEPING in mind I was on the website not long ago?? When I try other pages they seem to work fine, This is very frustrating as the only way to SOLVE it sometimes is to restart the COMPUTER so I can get on the page I want. Has anyone got any ideas what this could be? I use Google Chrome if that makes a DIFFERENCE and just updated to Windows 10 however this was happening before upgrade.

I rung my ISP and they ran connection tests etc and there appears to be nothing WRONG with connection or speed, what they did say is that the ping is a bit high so a background programme/s could be a possible cause?

Thanks

Troy

I have Windows 8 on my desktop and I keep getting an Adobe Flash Player Pop up. It gives me an Error MESSAGE Number 2148 and a bunch of numbers, and 2 options to select from, "Dismiss All" and "CONTINUE". If I click on either one, the Pop Up disappears but comes back again in a few seconds. My Brother In Law helped me do all the clean up stuff and it still comes back. The most frustrating thing is that when it pops up, I can't go any further with whatever I'm doing until I click on one of the options.

Thanks for any help you can GIVE me. Keep in mind I KNOW very little about COMPUTERS, so please give me any suggestions in what I can understand. Thank you very much.

SG-S3 = Samsung Galaxy S3

Fact= S3 has no built in IR (infrared) needed to be used as a Universal Remote, in my case to work with my Sony Amplifier model STR-DH100

I suceeded using my S3 phone TODAY to do many things on my PC wirelessly : moving the mouse, using chrome, controlling foobar2000 by a server. It is basically awesome.

NOW.

Can my PC be used as a tool for my S3 to work with my Sony AMP? In some way...

ThanksIt TOTALLY depends on the model of amplifier. Some higher end models have a serial/RS232 port on the rear which you can use to send control commands to it. If yours has this then it is certainly possible to control the receiver from the PC and therefore your phone however you would more than likely have to build custom software to do this, it would be much easier to just get a universal remote

I have DONE this before with my Cambridge Audio receiver - I GOT it used without a remote and while I can control everything I usually need from the front panel I needed to change one setting (Subwoofer crossover frequency) which required the remote. In the end I was able to hook an old laptop up to the serial port and send the commands down to EFFECTIVELY emulate the remote control in order to navigate the menu and set the appropriate settings.I have a DM PORT (DC5V) is it for wireless connections?That's for connecting mobile devices such as phones to the amplifier to play sound over it, not for connecting to a PC.

To be clear, are you definitely wanting to control it from your phone or do you simply not have a regular remote for the amplifier in which case why not just buy a universal remote?I already have a Universal Remote.
I am just trying to learn all the limits that the S3 can or can't break through.Well, once you have the S3 talking to a computer then there is really no limit to what you can control with it, it's just a matter of how complicated or time consuming the setup would be.

This is based on the following:

Lenovo’s Response to Its Dangerous Adware Is Astonishingly Clueless

Ir was reported widely that a program being shipped on a number of computers was really a form of malware. This kind of thing is CALLED 'Man in the Middle', or MTM. It breaks a connection between a user and a server and puts in stuff that is fake.

The story above suggests that the head of Lenovo ** did not have a clue about what percolated earlier this year.

**The official site is www.lenovo.com and appears to almost ignore the story. But if you search, you can find this:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/superfish

What do you think?
I wouldn't say Lenovo did this intentionally to be malicious. Instead they were asked by Superfish to install the software on their machines much like every CONSUMER manufacturer does now but Lenovo failed to perform a proper security audit on the software to see exactly what it was doing.camerongray, Exactly!
Every major PC make should check out the software before shipping. And Lenovo says they released it on a few machines as a test. Still, would have helped if they had given the users some warning.

Other reports also say that mere removal of the ad-ware does not fix the problem. That particular ad-ware leases the PC vulnerable after removal.
Windows Shopper toolbar/extension
After removal of Superfish, you will need to see if other programs were infected.

The issue with Superfish had nothing to do with it being adware, considering that is unfortunately a given with pretty much any consumer-oriented laptop or even prefab desktop. The real issue was that it was vulnerable.

This was because Superfish inserted itself as root certificate authority and effectively made itself a "man in the middle" between servers and the browser. (This isn't exactly something you WANT either, but, again- this is adware, and nobody would want that anyway) The Issue was that cracking Superfish was relatively easy, and that could be used for malicious purposes by creating a malicious hotspot that serves SSL websites signed with the Superfish key, which affected Lenovo systems would show as being a secure connection. This is better demonstrated here.

Well done BC...as usual you provide the clarity that comes with details. Great fine, BC.
As you said, the adware is not the issue. The thing makes a hole in the system security. The AUTHOR says he got common tools and hardware and spent several hours to CREATE a bogus 'hotpot' to intercept a real bank transaction.
Quote

Conclusion
Thus, this example proves that this exploit is practical, not merely theoretical as claimed by the Lenovo CTO. Exploiting this was a straightforward application of commonly available tools. The only thing out of the ordinary was sslsplit, but that's a tool commonly used by corporations for security purposes, and not some special "hacking" purpose.

I have a Acer Iconia A200 and trying too update the OS if it needs too be but, it says that the signal is not strong enough when I try, THOUGH I am like right near the Router and the Signal is about FOUR BAR's. It comes, up every time that I try too and I have another one with the same problem.So know one knows whyNo one knows because your POST is CONVOLUTED and scattered...
What OS are you attempting to upgrade and why ? ?

What signal are you talking about and what kind of speeds are available ? ?

Just finally made the leap from a basic cell phone to a LG Phone with wifi, Bluetooth, and wireless data plan, which is running Android 4.4. Should I have an antivirus or firewall app on this and if so which one etc.

New to the mobile computing phones, figured I'd post here for any HELPFUL pointers on how to avoid virus's and hacking etc. I am guessing that the browser Chrome on it will eventually need to be updated as well as the OS as well. Maybe I need to just read the manual for the phone however I have doubts that the manual will tell you how to keep it safe and secure.Nah, you shouldn't need anything like that. You are generally safe as long as you only download apps from reputable sources such as the Google Play Store and don't have the phone rooted. Apps have very limited permissions so even if an app were malicious, it would have very limited impact on the rest of the system.While I agree with camerongray that at this point a cell phone av is more of a LUXURY than a necessity, at as time moves on cell phones will garner more and more attention from hackers. There's certainly no harm in having a security app installed and with that in mind I've been using TrustGo for several years now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trustgo.mobile.security&hl=en
Almost from the start I have used Dr.Web Light Anti-virus. I see no reason at all for having an AV running in the background on Android. The main threat is when you are installing an app but like camerongray said stick to the Play Store or the Amazon App Store for Android and you shouldn't have MUCH to worry about. Dr.Web Light only SCANS what is installing then it goes to SLEEP until the next install.

Also if it isn't already installed get the Android Device Manager by Google. If the phone is lost or stolen then Android Device Manager gives you remote access to the device. Also be sure Android Device Manager is turned on because it may not be by default.

Quote

Android Device Manager locates lost devices and helps you keep your device—and the data inside it—safe and secure. Android Device Manager lets you:

● Locate Android devices associated with your Google account
● Reset your device's screen lock PIN
● Erase all data on the phone

I have a Samsung 530u3c notebook with a BROKEN screen. I am using an external monitor with an HDMI to use the laptop. I am looking to format a new copy of windows but when I restart the laptop the monitor won't get a signal until I log into windows 7.

I LOOKED ONLINE and absolutely cannot find a solution to this problem. Does anyone have any idea how I can by pass this? Or it's just not possible? The screen on the laptop is really broken, wires are all cut up, I picked this up from a friend for free, he was really rough with it.

Thanks

So you already have a working solution. But your can not get into the BIOS.
Does that describe your issue?
Yes, most notebooks will not get into the BIOS and show up on the second monitor.
You can replace the screen.

Acronis is arguably the best drive image software anywhere. Not my PERSONAL opinion, but the general consensus. The new version is said to work well with WINDOWS 10.


Perhaps we should add that it's a 30-day free trial. After that, it must be purchased. Seagate HDD's ship with Acronis...not sure why you mentionrd WD...I already have a WD, But not ready to buy a new Seagate.

Google, Bing and Yahoo and other sites with SSL were blocked by my BROWSER. And not just FireFox and CHROME. Even Opera.
But I was in XP, so I boot into Windows 7 and expect to see all OK. No Joy!

But at least Windows 7 gave a better explanation. It blamed my click.
A problem with the clock makes the SSL** invalid.
What? My clock? A virus scan and a MALWARE check shows nothing significant. a PUP removed, but no FIX.
(**SSL is a security Certificate .)
Wait. It is not the clock.It is the calendar.
Thirsty days off! So I fixed in BIOS. Problem gone.
Has this ever happened to you? That's totally normal operation - The SSL certificates are date limited, for example Google's current certificate was issued on the 26th of August and is valid until November, if your clock was set to before this the certificate would APPEAR to be invalid and the browser would quite rightly reject it.So was it blocked by your clik...or your clock ? ?Blocked by the Clock!
As camerongray says, the SSL will fail if the clock is way behind.

The clock was 30 days in the past.

From this, we conclude time travel will not be possible until the SSL is revised to allow us to go back in time.

Decided to look around at stocks the other day to see where I should invest some money next in tech stocks that may have taken a hard hit but would rebound, and decided to check out AMD and was surprised at the losses they have had and price per share below $1.90 a share.

Looking into the companies health online it looks like AMD is in trouble as well as conflicting information such as at this site.

AMD has hired a consulting firm to help the beleaguered chip company ponder a split of its business or a spin-off, according to a Reuters story that appeared Friday night. After years of losses, decades of competing as the No. 2 to Intel and countless mistakes on execution or failure to see a market, the story paints the decision as one of many that CEO Lisa Su might make to help turn AMD around.

AMD spokeswoman Sarah Youngbauer says, “we have not hired an outside agency to explore spinning-off/splitting the company,” and added that AMD remains committed to the strategy the company laid out in its financial analyst day held in May.

Millions of PC owners hoping to upgrade to Windows 10 face disappointment as major chipset manufacturers Intel and AMD are delaying, or failing to provide, Windows 10 compatible drivers for their hardware. With Windows 10 planned to be the first of more regular upgrades to the operating system, hardware under TWO years old is facing obsolescence.

How can I check to SEE if my SIGNAL generator is working.What kind of voltage WOULD you get with a vtvm? I hooked it up to an oscilloscope and didn't seem to do anything.
I bought this thing many years ago but never used it until now. I'm doing this as a hobby.
Standard OUTPUT for audio is 1 mil watt t in a 600 ooh load.
Which should give 0.7 volts RMS on a VOM.
Or, use a headphone to listen to the output. Try 400 Hz.

Hi, I have received computer parts and I started to experiment with 3 computers I picked up for dirt cheap. I already screwed up two of them by installing a video card (trying to get dual monitors) and both computers give me a black screen on boot up and restarts itself endlessly.

Even if the card fits the slot perfectly, I'm assuming that some video cards won't work with some motherboards and cause them this problem. Now even without the card installed in both computers they will keep restarting once the windows 7 logo shows up. I tried formatting the hard drive, and I even had a couple spare hard drives from the parts given to me and it's doing the same thing, it's like the CMOS kept the info and keeps looping.

So now that I've screwed up two boards, I have one left and Id like to get it to work. It's WORKING fine right now, it has a single onboard VGA, but I have two monitors sitting on my desk and Id love to get this computer to use both monitors..

The computer is a Dell INSPIRON 545 I believe, from searching online the motherboard is a DELL DG33M06

The video card I have (looks older): WinFast PX7600GT

Any help on this would be appreciatedOS Boot Loop is usually caused by mismatched hardware to that of the original build. Are you trying to get a copy of Windows from one computer to work on ANOTHER, such as of the 3 systems if you take the hard drive from one of them with the OS on it and move it to another computer with better hardware specs to make the best computer from all 3 systems parts, you can run into this issue.

Solution is to perform a full clean installation of the OS so that it can pair up the hardware to the OS for drivers and all.

Video Card installation can damage a system if installed wrong, video card is defective and shorts or redirects higher voltages like 12 volts to a lower voltage pin and smoke the motherboard etc.

I'd focus on getting systems to run correctly in integrated video first and then introduce the video card later after you know that the base build of the system is healthy and your ready to move on to better video card.Thanks for your reply, I tried installing the video card with my third computer and the same thing happened. It will boot into windows 7 for id say 2-3 mins. Then I get a windows error and it restarts itself into that loop.

I followed your advice, I went back to the original hardware, and it seems to be working fine now. It was late last night so I only had the PC on for 10mins or so.

I was reading online that perhaps disabling the onboard video in BIOS could fix the windows error. I'm really trying to get the dual monitor going.

I'm still new at working with computers, but I have a general idea, read online and everything seems to pass with the older video card to fit into the motherboard. Like I mentioned above it will work for a couple minutes into windows before I get the glitch.

I do have a 400W power supply, and looking at the specs of the video card it suggests a 300W power supply. Does it actually take 300W of power?? or they recommend 300W with the rest of the build?

Good news is your suggestion about going back to the original hardware and then formatting drives from scratch may save my other two computers.. Ill let you know when I get a chance to work on themDepending on the condition of the power supply it may be weak even though rated 400 watts. Additionally depending on the age of the power supply it might have bad swollen or leaking capacitors. What is the brand name on the power supplies you have as well as for some brands 'false advertise" actually wattage to be greater than what they truly can maintain.

Leaning on power supply issue with additional info suggesting it runs windows fine for a short while and then you get the crash and boot loop which is common with a weak power supply.

However it could also be the cause of a video card that overheats. If the video cards GPU overheats it will cause a hardware crash and bot loop as its cooking, so make sure fan(s) are spinning on video card and not caked with dust etc. If its a passive heatsink video card without a fan, TRY adding airflow in front of the video card such as a SMALL fan or box fan to blow air into the case to keep the passive heatsink from building up a hot spot and see if that makes it behave.

As of now, about 250 million PCs can not watch Hulu movies.
Why? Because somebody at Hulu does not get it. About 16 % of Windows PCs still use Windows XP, not Windows 7.

This chart shows XP is still ahead of the Apple OS for number of users. Now can you imagine anybody refusing to let Apple users watch?

The real issue is that Adobe is pushing the new version of Flash that does not work with XP. This has been documented elsewhere. Apparently Adobe does not care. They claim it works. But it does not.

What I don't understand is how Hulu, or anybody, ignores this.
Based on what I'm able to find, the chart is sourced from Data from "Net Applications" (An analytics firm) for Feb 2015. Even for the time frame, it's MEASUREMENT of XP systems was well outside the standard deviation compared to all the other analytics firms, which suggests that Net Applications data was affected by confounding factors or sample bias, which would mean that generalizing the results to a larger sample (eg 250 million of an assumed 1.5 Billion PCs) isn't valid.

One big difference between Windows XP and Mac OS would be that OSX is still supported, regardless of it's usage share.

However, this is all rather moot, isn't it? Considering Hulu still supports running on Windows XP.Thank you for the comeback.
Granted, 250 million sounds like a lot. So I will yield on that.

But what if it was only 10 per cent of the windows users? Why ignore a large segment of total users? Are they outcasts?

But the problem with Adobe is not new. Why Adobe can no get a SAFE and stable version of Flash to work on XP is a mystery. You would think they would at least offer some kin of explanation. Or else let users take a risk with an older version.

Funny thing is that you can get a version of Silverlight to work on XP. But the movie service people have dropped Silverlight because Microsoft no longer supports it.

Think about it. How many unsupported software is out there being used every day in spite of the no support concern.

I think there is a work-around, but neither Adobe or anybody wants to publish it.
So it becomes yet another 'hack' to keep old stuff running.

Hello folks, I have a question that I'm hoping you can help me with. I work on files from my Flash drive on a public COMPUTER. I'm WONDERING if someone can view those files after I remove it from the computer. I'm not copying the file to the hard drive. Temp Files could remain. If your allowed to accidentally safe file to Hard Drive it can remain. If shadow copy is enabled it could remain. If there was malware that is out to steal info it can GRAB and store it in a hidden area as a pick up location for a hacker. If the memory blocks that the file was in are not overwritten in RAM, it could remain. If there was a share somehow to the USB drive at say Letter E: and someone else knew that you had connected a thumb drive and could remotely get to the thumb drive they could see and grab data etc. If a file was detected as a false positive or an actual virus, your file would be placed into quarantine in which its contents could be viewed by an administrator.

Most COMMON would be temp file data or accidentally SAVING it to default location on hard drive vs thumb drive. Other ways are less common.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any apps that allow you to limit access to applications and data on an Android 4.4 phone, so it can be unlocked to give permissions to the first level of applications and data, but there is an additional wall in PLACE which requires password/code for 2nd level in access which gives access to all data and apps vs just those in the first level limitations?

For example if I loan my cell phone to my child, can they have access to making calls with it and surfing web with it if needed, but anything in a secure ZONE ( 2nd security level in ) is off limits without a password/code such as my business stuff and anything else I want to keep there out of the reach of OTHERS other than myself?

Its too bad the phones cant have same phone number and 2 profiles, or can they? One profile Business and other profile general access.Have a Looksee...wow

But wait, there's a catch.
Restricted user profiles could potentially put parents at ease, but it's up to the developers to integrate the API that gives users access to granular controls. That's right: developers have complete control over whether or not their app features can be restricted from users. For example, one game might allow the tablet owner to disable mature content, while another does not, simply because they didn't integrate the feature.

Hi all
We are running our website with a private agency and we want to run the same by ourselves by owning a server computer. The site is with multiple applications such as digital research repository of theses and dissertation, e-book and CD-ROM databases etc. It is likely to be expanded with a few more functionalities/applications such as e-journal and e-publishing system. Of these, some of the applications will be running on Linux-Ubuntu platform and others on Windows. The databases used are : MySQL /PostgreSQL. The site can expect around 400 concurrent users from across the globe. Current database capacity is 10 GB and there will be incremental growth in future. Kindly advice a suitable solution for hosting the system and the cost involved.
Sincerely
Shijith You first of all need to think as to whether you REALLY should be purchasing a physical server or not. When you buy a physical server you are then having to take on the responsibility of managing the hardware and network to support it. You also have to think about where you can put the server as you will need a very fast INTERNET connection as well as reliable power.

In most SITUATIONS nowadays you are better off to rent a virtual machine or use a cloud services provider such as Amazon Web Services, with this you pay by the hour for the servers so you can EASILY experiment with different configurations to figure out what works best for your application or even dynamically scale the servers you are using based on current demand.

Perhaps I haven't looked in the right area for this topic but I couldn't find anything on the forums..
Anyway I never heard of this product and their claims seem to good to be true. And the saying goes if it sounds etc., etc. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with KODI?
Here is an example of what I came across. APPRECIATE your thoughts. overthehill

Hello. I have a question about email. I have heard that you can direct an email to a folder from the website that sent it, by naming the recipient " [emailprotected] ", (where the "+" sign is, place the appropriate character). For example: I have an email subscription at FamilyEducation.Com, if I said that the recipient for email is [emailprotected], than their emails would always land in the folder instead of the inbox. Is this true, and how do I do it, as I'm unsure of the right character to use in place of the plus sign?What email app are you using?
What operating system? (Windows, Apple, etc)

By the way, user name seriously not cool.

Not an app, it's Gmail, and I heard that you can use this with any email service online.
My OS is Mac OS X.

And if you think that my name is offensive, I don't really care.
I've had the same username for 10 years: any derogatory associations ascribed to it are Johnny-come-latelysWell, apart from a terrorist group, Isis could refer to many things, including the Egyptian deity, a river in Oxfordshire in England, as well as several rock bands, a DJ and a pulsed neutron source at the Rutherford Appleton LABORATORY (also in Oxfordshire) so maybe I'd better retract that remark. The pulsed neutron source is definitely cool in my book.

If you can set up a forwarding rule at the other email service's server you could forward to [emailprotected]

Here's how to set it up in Gmail

But you can just set up an ordinary filter in Gmail to do this

Isis was initially an obscure goddess who lacked her own dedicated temples, but she grew in importance as the dynastic age progressed, until she became one of the most important deities of ancient Egypt. Her cult subsequently spread throughout the Roman EMPIRE, and Isis was worshipped from England to Afghanistan. She is still revered by pagans today. As mourner, she was a principal deity in rites connected with the dead; as MAGICAL healer, she cured the sick and brought the deceased to life; and as mother, she was a role model for all women.

I like shopping on eBay.
But I often find 'Buy It Now' is dishonest. How? When they put a price that can increase , but only the low price is shown.
Example: Shop for low price smart phones. Search for phones under $50 and find some 'Buy It Now' items under $15. So you go to order and you must select a color. You choose any col rand the price quadruples. Try it!

I have some screenshots here:
http://geek9pm.com/ebay
Th PNG images are reduced to use less bandwidth, but are very legible. You can see in the three images how the price was rigged to mislead the prospective buyer. The low price shown is not for the smartphone.

Trying to contact eBay about this sort of thing is hard to do. So I put this here for others to see.
Another reason i refuse to use eBay...i wou;dn't buy a bowlong ball off of there...I've seen this before, however it is important to bear in mind that this is an issue with individual sellers and how they advertise and not a problem caused by eBay directly. The feature allowing variations of an item to be advertised in the same listing is very useful for items like flash drives where there are various different capacities of the same item, this means taht you don't end up with tonnes of listings for each capacity. Unfortunately, sellers will always try and perform these dodgy tactics with their listings to attract more customers, a recent one I found was when I was looking for a gigabit Ethernet switch, I found several listings for 10/100 switches where the title contained "Not Gigabit" so that they would show up in my search results for "Gigabit switch". It would be ideal if eBay could somehow moderate all listings to stop this from happening but I imagine this would be a practically impossible task given the amount of listings.

That said, I do absolutely love eBay and buy probably the majority of my technology/computer related stuff. In the UK anyway I've noticed Amazon's service (especially around shipping) getting steadily worse to the extent that I almost always GET a better experience through business sellers on eBay and when it comes to used stuff (which a lot of the stuff I buy is) there is no better option. Sure, we have Craigslist (and Gumtree which is the more popular equivalent in the UK) but those are generally useless, especially when it comes to technology. I've bought everything from components and laptops to servers and enterprise networking hardware and almost never had any issues, then any issues that I have had have always been resolved to my satisfaction.Quote

Hey guys!I need your help and hopefully someone can help me or GIVE me any advise I'm desperately searching for a way to legally convert songs from spotify. I already tried some well-known free software but it was rubbish. The quality was so bad and the whole downloading-then-converting-process took 2 hours for 10 songs (that's why it's not worth mentioning) So maybe someone has a better solution? A friend suggested to try sidify software, but I READ some reviews that the quality isn't that good and it costs almost 40 bucks? Thank you all in advance for helping Quote

I'm desperately searching for a way to legally convert songs from spotify.

I used the www.onlinevideoconverter.com to convert the Youtube video to COMPUTER, but some videos can only watch the video and cannot be saved after doownloaded. kindly please advise any way to save every Youtube video.
Thank you,
JohnFirst of all, if you have problems with this specific program then you should go to the website for that program. Now then, after having said that, here is a more generic reply to your question
Here are some things you can try.
You can rephrase your question in such a way that it only takes a few words and then you can submit that phrase to Google and do a search on that idea.
You might be taken to the site that has a product they WANT you to buy so you can download YouTube videos. But I don't think that would be a good idea. However, a Google search also can take you to sites that have discussed this idea at some length. People have been trying to download movies from YouTube for a long time. This has been well documented elsewhere and I don't see any need to rehash it again here on this forum.
In case you don't know, that copying videos from YouTube or any other site Present the copyright problem. If you copy a motion picture and then try to resell to other people you are breaking the law.
Which brings up the question of why do you want or need to download that YouTube video? I can't think of any reason I would want to download a YouTube video, unless I was up to SOMETHING that YouTube prohibits. YouTube has a terms of use that specifically says there is a limit on what you can do with YouTube videos.

Please understand, there are many here willing to help you, but this question has been answered many times before and it has been brought out there are some legal problems with telling people how easy it is to download a video off of YouTube.
I hope this answer is of some help to you. If you really cannot find where it is on the web, here is one of the best sources of this kind of information without actually crossing over the LINE of breaking the law.

http://www.wikihow.com/Download-YouTube-Videos

That is the best I can do for you. :)u If a video is unable to be ripped from youtube then its likely that its protected for a reason. Regular videos likely download fine, but music content and any movies that might be there will likely be protected. Other reasons why videos cant be downloaded is if its adult content on youtube that requires a confirmed adult account through gmail etc. If you hit adult content it USUALLY prompts for you to logon to gain access to the content.I use the Firefox "Video DownloadHelper" add-on.Quote from: BC_Programmer on November 20, 2016, 12:05:14 AM

Will I be able to transfer file's from my new LG VERIZON Smartphone to My XP operating system on my computer?I'd visit the phone manuf. site and see if it's supported by XP.
Most phones have an app you install to the PC to save /store/copy data etc...
There are many ways to transfer files between a phone and your PC. If your phone mfr provides a driver for Windows XP, you should be able to plug in the phone with a USB cable and have the phone appear as a drive within Windows Explorer.

Even if you can't do that for lack of a Win XP driver, there are other ways to do it. Just about all phones have Bluetooth built-in so if your computer supports Bluetooth you can use Bluetooth to transfer files. There are apps that can be installed on your phone that allow you to CONNECT to your phone from your web browser on your computer to transfer files back and forth. There are file manager apps that allow you to connect to Windows Shares on your network and transfer files. Yet another method is Cloud storage such as DropBox where you can have files on your phone downloaded to your PC. DropBox is the method I PERSONALLY use most often when I want to transfer some files from my phone to PC or from PC to phone.. I use Google Drive for cloud storage for copying pictures off my android phone where I can easily get them to my computer. I have tried the USB cable method and my LG 16C trac phone appears to NEED a driver that is no where to be acquired so the cloud storage works for me.Yes. With some luck, even without the phone's driver. here's how you can do it:

1. Via a USB cable
2. Via Bluetooth
3. By uploading them over one drive or google drive and then downloading them to your PC
4. By CONNECTING your phone to a friend's (or some other pc) that has windows 7 or higher and then copy all the data through usb cable, into the pc, and then onto a usb.
5. By doing same as 4 but making a disc instead

by no means 3, 4 or 5 are convenient, or fast for that matter. They're just 3 more ways... BUT.... they do provide you with a solid backup that you can retrieve anytime and any place you want. (y)

Saw that Firefox was looking for donations today, decided to go to the store where I bought a shirt and was going to buy some ITEMS in which they get a donation kick back from the purchase and the store is closed.

This March, we’ll be winding down the site for a number of reasons. Chief among them: The store hasn’t met revenue or fundraising expectations, and the ROI of time and energy to maintain it is too small for Mozilla Foundation to continue. Additionally, our key vendor was acquired twice in the past 12 months, making operations more difficult. Without a strong vendor partnership, the demands to maintain the store and provide quality customer support weighs heavily on our staff.

Another important factor in this decision is that we were not able to make international ordering as accessible and affordable as we wanted due to a number of logistical and fulfillment barriers.

We still have quite a lot of inventory left as of today. Starting now, we’ll be HOLDING our largest sale yet to help liquidate remaining inventory: 30% off all items.

We still have quite a lot of inventory left as of today. Starting now, we’ll be holding our largest sale yet to help liquidate remaining inventory: 30% off all items. We hope you’ll use this opportunity to stock up on your favorite Mozilla gear at gear.mozilla.org before the store closes officially on March 31, 2016! (Discounts do not apply to shipping costs.)

We’ll be working hard to share the news with all our customers and community members to ensure everyone has the support they need with final orders. Customer support and service from our vendor will continue for four weeks after the sale ends. Until then, please click on Customer Support at gear.mozilla.org if you have any problems or questions about an order.

Important dates:

March 1, 2016: Big sale launches — 30% off everything
March 31, 2016: Sale ends, gear.mozilla.org website taken offline
April 30, 2016: Customer support ends

No, I am not being sarcastic.
I just don't understand. What is going on?

How can I change what type of file to save a file as. SINCE I installed a certain program every image I try to save off the Internet wants to save it associated to that program. The only other choice in the "save as" area is "all files".

thanksChange the file ASSOCIATION for the image file type.
Since the SOFTWARE wouldn't let me PICK what to associate the file with I deleted the software, now I can choose.Usually you can use the "Open with... " dialog in WINDOWS Explorer to change what opens a file type, if you check the "Always use this program" box before clicking OK. You should be able to do this whatever program changed it, even while it is still installed. But a jpg is still a jpg (for example) despite what Windows chooses to show as the file type.

The software you have installed doesn't change the "type" or the contents of a file, it only changes what your system recognizes the file as.

For example when I download a PNG image, Firefox lists it as an "Adobe Photoshop Document". It's still a PNG image, I just happen to have the PNG extension associated with Photoshop.

Intel surrenders traditional tablet and phone markets to ARM
by Michael Allison, about 7 months ago
https://mspoweruser.com/intel-surrenders-traditional-tablet-phone-markets-arm/

While doing some research, I came across this article, which is story by itself.
The gets of the story is that we are not going to see Intel chips on smartphones in the future. If Intel wants part of the action, it will give up on using real x86 type CPUs for smartphones and tablets.

Quote

Reports coming in indicate that part of Intel’s recently publicised culling was FOCUSED on eliminating the unprofitable ATOM division. Intel’s Broxton and SoFIA, two chips already scheduled to be in devices this year have been canned and Cherry Trail – the chip behind the Surface 3 – is following soon after. The justification for the culling is that Intel doesn’t sell enough of these chips to OEMs who move enough units to justify their existence. As for Cherry Trail, it has significant overlap with the more powerful Core M series when you consider what the aims (lighter devices, less heat) that OEMS would rather use the Core M in any case.

I doubt Intel "surrenders" anything...

I figured I'd share this in case anyone else is using a older socket 775 motherboard based system that is able of running a Core 2 Quad processor who might want a cheap upgrade. If your running a Pentium 4, Pentium D, Core 2 Duo, Pentium E series Dual-Core, or Celeron or Celeron D that is socket 775 and would like a performance gain cheaply, the price of Core 2 Quad CPU's on ebay has tanked out to less than $20 each with free shipping in some offers.

I upgraded my wife to a Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz with 8MB Cache for $14.99 with free shipping. I bought it from a seller in Indiana. There are a bunch for sale out of Korea and China as for I think they are flooding the market with CPUs from systems shipped over there to be scrapped and selling the CPU is generally easy money and costs very little to ship. I didnt want to wait a month for my CPU to arrive so I decided to look through the listings for one that was USA based and so I spent $1.00 more to get it sooner from a USA based merchant.

About 6 months ago I did a search for Core 2 Quad CPU's and the prices were in the $40-$80 range for these and that price tag to me made it not worth it because for around $150 I can make a so much better Motherboard, CPU, RAM combination with modern AMD and value RAM. So the market flooded with these had driven down the price of them to where USA based sellers are forced to lower their prices to match that of China or Korea to make the sale and thats awesome.

I have 5 other computers that are Core 2 Duo systems and at $15 each CPU, I am going to buy 5 more of them to convert all my dual core spare systems to quad core systems. I might get the Q6700 2.66Ghz instead of the Q6600 2.4Ghz to have the faster clock too. Occasionally I run a bunch of systems with projects that i work on for testing and it will be nice to have 5 systems that are much stronger for such a cheap upgrade price.

Also to note, surprisingly AMD QuadCore CPUs that have less cache you would think should also be $12-$20 like these Q6600's that i am looking at, but for some reason the prices for the AMD Athlon II x4 CPUs havent tanked like the better performing Intel Core 2 Quads.

Here is example of more costly AMD Athlon II x4 prices that are like 2x the cost of the Intel Q6600 quads: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR10.TRC1.A0.H0.Xathlon+II+x4.TRS1&_nkw=athlon+II+x4&_sacat=0

The BENCHMARK for the Q6600 according to passmark shows it at average score of 2983. I ran the benchmark without any overclocking and got a benchmark of 3102. Looking in the list of CPUs based on the scoring they use, this Core 2 Quad Q6600 performs better than some 4th generation Core i3 mobile CPU's.

I upgraded my wife from originally a Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz to a Pentium E5400 Dual-Core 2.7Ghz which had a small performance gain, and then to this Core 2 Quad Q6600 which almost doubles its benchmark score.

Her prior Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 Ghz Scored Average = 1559
Pentium E5400 Dual-Core 2.7Ghz Scored Average = 1602
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz Scored Actual = 3102 ( slightly above average to passmark averages )The 6600 is a workhorse Beast...i've used them in a few budget builds for low budget clients...

My advice is to install strange, suspect software on an old PC that I would not mind re-formatting if the software turns out to be malicious. In fact, I’d re-format the drive EVEN if I didn’t detect anything fishy; something may be lingering deep in the background. At the very least, I would create a Restore Point just before installing ScanGuard, in hope of being able to restore my PC’s settings and files to that time when I am done playing with SafeGuard.

The PHONE has been working very good some years, but in last some DAYS regularly shuts down after some minutes of use (longer call, multimedia playing...). I cannot turn it BACK on immediately but after some hours (and again it does not work long). Battery is almost full (indicator shows always more than 50%).

I am really scared right now, i hit my Laptop in rage when I lost a project i was WORKING on and it shut down, then i turned back on and the screen was yellow!
this had happened before but it always just went away but now its not and im really freaking out. If anyone can help me that would be great also if its help i hit the upper part of the computer, please help me.You might need to replace the DISPLAY to correct for this.

One of the worst THINGS to do to a computer is hit it.... its not going to MAKE matters any better, and it made it worse. Your VERY FORTUNATE that you didnt totally destroy all your data when the shock wave of the blow to the laptop shocked the hard drive with a jolt. If you have a SSD drive in it that might be what saved you here with no data loss from the blow. If its a mechanical hard drive then you got very lucky not to lose everything!

To correct for this, I'd check into a display replacement. Displays range in cost, I have bought replacement displays on amazon, but they require some skill to replace. If you dont feel you could replace it on your own then maybe a friend or repair shop can assist with this repair. thank you for your help, i really appreciate it. I asked one of my friend's to come replace it and he gladly did he had a spare one i guess idk but thank you very much.

Thinking they need to replace "TOY" with another word if they are going to use a general choking hazard warning. Such as "ITEM" or even better "PRODUCT".

I dont really consider a computer or tablet a TOY.

Additionally there are some products that could be a choking hazard that if this general choking hazard statement was used always with TOY as their generic description of unsafe, there could be some bad unintentional adult humor assigned to products to those with an eye to detail in picking up on the issue or error in the use of the word TOY and mind in gutter.

** I was digging deeper in the description looking for if the keyboard required a 2032 battery or if it was recharged somehow. I dont SEE a port for the keyboard to attach electronically to the tablet so I guess its bluetooth and if bluetooth then it either needs a battery or it has to get charged somewhere but no info on port locations. Additionally I wonder what the range of the bluetooth is for this keyboard and if its a secure bluetooth connection or wide open for someone to sniff out the keystrokes over bluetooth.

Was looking into this as a possible present for my 12 yr old daughter, then thought to myself maybe I will get one for myself too, but then i said WAIT ! Is this thing secure or would my bluetooth keystrokes in say an airport be right out in the open for a hacker sniffing bluetooth to capture, which then makes me think..... Maybe I dont want Bluetooth keyboard communications.

I have a earlier model of the RCA tablet and I do not find it has anything an infant would choke on.
I still use it, but do not recommend it for anybody at any age.

Both.

I have got a Voyager PRO with keyboard case few months back and it worked for the first month and then it quit. It wouldn't. It acts like it takes to charge and then it's not taking a charge. It won't turn on. You can't reset it and nothing. And when you contact RCA they want you to pay to send it to him when it was under warranty and for you to make sure that it was in bubble wrapped in a certain type of box and everything. Why aren't they sending the stuff if it's under warranty. They should be paying for whatever it needs to get there to fix it or replace it and send it back. This isn't right.

Bought 2 RCA Voyager tablets for Christmas last year. Having charging issues with both. Went to Walmart and was informed that the particular model I bought has been discontinued due to a charging problem... Was told to call RCA. Have not been able to speak with anyone in customer service. Am probably out $$'s and most likely will not get product replacement.

This is the second time in 3 years that my son has received this same tablet as a gift. The first one we got rid of because it quit charging. At the time I thought it was something my son did wrong and somehow messed up the tablet. Just got another for his birthday this week. He was able to play on it for two days and I went to plug it in to charge and noticed that it kept popping back and forth between charging to saying please connect to charger and on top of that it was making weird popping noises and had lines running all over the screen as long as the tablet was plugged into the charger... Never again will I buy a product from this company... Wish my mother's husband would have read these reviews before buying this for my son. He is so disappointed... Two days of use and now all these problems... Would be the interested in learning more about your class action suit Justin from California...

RCA Tablet RCT6203W46 - I had purchased this tablet last year. Short time after that the keyboard just stopped working and now the WIFI won't connect at all. I did a factory reset and that did nothing but erase all my data.

Purchased 2 tablets, after 6 months one would not charge. I was told to send it in for service. I got it back 6 weeks later and it lasted 3 months then would not start up. A replacement was sent to me and I returned the non working one. After 5 months, the replacement stopped working and again was sent a replacement. Upon receiving this one, the charger stopped working the next day and now it's been 7 months and the tablet rest itself and everything on it was lost. Signed back on and all services are getting errors. Did a factory reset and now tablet will not start. These tablets are such garbage that Wal-Mart doesn't even carry them anymore and RCA should not even make them because it's obvious they don't know what they're doing.

My friend SENT me the message that I can FIND him on Facebook, he gave me " Tony Smith @ BUFFALO " to find him. I understand Tony Smith is his NAME, but I don't know what is the meaning of "@ Buffalo",

Myself, I think if one product is better, you don't have to bad mouth the other guy to make your point
But look at this story TWO years back.

Some U.S. government agencies are using IT systems running Windows 3.1, the decades-old COBOL and Fortran programming languages, or computers from the 1970s.

The government is spending more than US$80 billion a year on IT, and "it largely doesn't work," Chaffetz said during a House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. "The federal government is years, and sometimes decades, behind the private sector."

"When you're still using technology and computer systems from the '70s and the '80s, this is not a problem that started in 2012," he added. "How can you really sit here and tell us this is money?"

Closing an additional 2,000 data centers, in some cases moving to the cloud, could save $5.4 billion, he said. "We need to definitely get more modern," he said.

protect against threats; make safe.

If you were a hacker, and were creating a virus or malware to target as many machines as possible and cause widespread attacks, you would focus your efforts on what will create the greatest return. If you’re looking to cause the most damage, and increase your chances of success, you’re going to target the most common computer system. Essentially, Macs are safer because statistically you’re less likely to be infected due to the lower number of viruses built to infect OS X.

My mom has a dell all in one type desktop. She knocked it over and now you can only see 1/2 the screen. The computer was expensive for her income. Is this something that COULD be fixed as the computer itself SEEMED to work if we hook up a different monitor. Quote
