Out of date anti-virus protection


Posted Wednesday September 8 2010, 2:43 pm

Hello, i have been having a problem with the internet on my laptop since we switched to a new ISP.

The internet seems to stop working, and then starts working randomly. Ive rang the company like 10 times, each time they tell me to do something different, and it then works for a bit. However, since last night, it hasnt worked at all- the company has been unable to resolve the issue. The wireless network works on all the other wireless devices in the house, just not my laptop.

The ISP told me that expired Anti-virus protection may block internet access. The thing is, the internet works when connected from the modem to the laptop directly via an Ethernet cable. Also, the desktop computer with usually is connected ...

Posted Sunday September 5 2010, 4:19 pm

I saw a girl the other day with the iPhone 3GS and here SMS text message bubbles were different colors, and the background was a different background too. I was wondering if there was a way to do that without jail breaking the phone? And if so, how?

Thanks!

Laptop speaker issues.


Posted Thursday August 19 2010, 1:46 pm

The inbuilt speakers on my laptop play every other sound, from wherever, besides my iTunes.
This is something new, since a couple of days ago iTunes still played.
I hear sounds from websites, online videos (YouTube) and so on. It's just iTunes that doesn't make a sound.
And yeah, the volume bar at the top is on full, and the timer shows that the song is actually playing.
What could be the problem?
I have a HP Pavilion dv5 laptop, operating Windows Vista, and the latest version of iTunes.

Any help is much appreciated.

deleting history


Posted Monday August 16 2010, 5:48 am

I am going to be giving away my laptop pretty soon and all the social network sites have my e-mail and password stored. does that make sense? like when i want to log on to facebook, i just have to click on the e-mail space and it will show my e-mail and when i click on it it automatically types in my password. is there anyway i can delete all that so the next users won't hack my accounts?

Fixing my Zune library?


Posted Thursday August 12 2010, 3:51 am

I recently made the switch from ipod to zune, and I'm having a bit of trouble adjusting. I have two major issues..

1) Only some of my itunes library automatically transferred into my zune. I tried locating the files to manually move them, and now they're all missing. Only some will still even play in itunes.

2) When I sync a compilation or a mix cd into my zune library, it files it under "Various Artists" instead of by individual band/artist names, which is really frustrating.

Is there a way to fix either or both of these problems? I got rid of my ipod because it kept messing up, but if my zune is gonna be just as much trouble, I'll feel like a complete idiot. Thanks for any advice/instruction you can give!

Blocking People on Facebook?


Posted Friday August 6 2010, 4:35 pm

I was looking for someone to add as a friend on facebook, and then I realized that if I went to any of our mutual friends and typed in the name it didn't come up, and it didn't come up in the search. But then I saw a picture she was tagged in then got a link to her profile which showed up. Does that mean she blocked me? I can still see her profile, but I had to click on her name in a picture she was tagged in to do it.
