Can you help me solve a Google sign in issue?

Answers — Sun, 19 May 2013 07:10:59 +0000

A while back I used a Google sign in thing where I could apply this to all my accessories with a pass code. The problem is that I can’t remember what Google app I used to do this and now I can’t get onto my Toshiba laptop without a code?

I was wondering if anyone might know anything about this? I have looked through several Google apps and I can’t seem to figure it out. I thought it had something to do with the Google Plus app, but again I can’t find it there.

Any help I can get on this would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you for your time with this matter.
Debbie

How can I recover photos from a microSD card that isn’t recongized anymore?

Answers — Sat, 18 May 2013 21:50:54 +0000

I have an issue with a with microSD card. I took it out of my boyfriend’s phone to reflash his phone. After I sorted out his phone, I put it back. Now it does not see the file at all.

I tried to swap it into my phone. It said card blank. Nothing has been done to the card, the file should be still on there. I tired to use recover software, but it does not show the drive.

I have no idea, I only took it out and left. It should not have a problem at all. Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this problem because there are so many pictures on the card! Thank you x

How can I fix my Internet speed on my Desktop?

Answers — Sat, 18 May 2013 21:46:27 +0000

All of the other devices in the house are perfectly fine connecting to the Internet and have around 10-50mbps Internet speed. My desktop only reaches around 1mbps.

We have recently joined onto NBN, National Broadband, which is supposed to be 20% times faster than copper cable internet in Australia. YouTube won’t load because the speed is too slow, I only get 1mbps if I am lucky.

Please help me, I don’t know what’s wrong.

What’s the best wireless adapter for my desktop PC?

Answers — Fri, 17 May 2013 23:59:16 +0000

I purchased a tower AMD quad system in October 2012 specifically to use for creating graphics and 3D content for online gaming and virtual world environments. At the time I had my own direct cable connection at my studio so had a solid fast high speed connection. I’ve recently relocated and now have net access via a Wi-Fi router located maybe 60 feet from my studio space. I get a fairly consistent strong connection on my laptop which has an internal Wi-Fi chip.

I need to purchase a powerful Wi-Fi adapter (probably one with antenna) for the tower since it doesn’t have any wireless connectivity (just the Ethernet port). I will eventually be getting a direct Internet line but in the meanwhile I need a wireless adapater that works with the Wi-Fi router.

I’d appreciate suggestions on what adapters work best, I want: solid and reliable high-speed connection for heavy online interactive gaming graphics, an easy install (USB even?) and good value.

Thank you for your help.

Why does my wife’s iPhone 4 speaker stop working after a full battery discharge?

Answers — Fri, 17 May 2013 23:47:42 +0000

My wife has a horrible habit of allowing the battery in her iPhone 4 fully discharge. Just recently (in the last week or so) she has noticed that after charging the phone again the external speaker doesn’t work properly. Pre-installed tones work, but game sounds and music don’t. Also the volume slider doesn’t show when music is playing and volume keys wont work.

We have tried soft resets, erasing settings, changing settings and basically everything I can think of short of a full factory reset. The problem resolves it’s self after a few hours, but is annoying nonetheless. While the speaker isn’t working she can listen to music and other sounds by plugging headphones in.
