How can I watch television channels on my TV via my iPad?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 22:57:18 +0000

I’ve connected my iPad to my television with a cable and am able to watch Netflix/Hulu on the TV through apps. Is there another app that would let me watch TV stations like ABC, CNN, NBC and etc? I have read reviews of Livestation, but it seems to be for watching TV on a PC, which isn’t what I want to do.

Why does Facebook think I’m logging in from 1500 miles away?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 22:52:22 +0000

For the past month, facebook repeatedly has shown me as logging in from 1500 miles away. At first I thought my account had been hijacked despite the lack of suspicious activity. I cleared cookies and malware with my security suite and malware programs, but all activity I make on the account (logging-in from different browsers – IE or Chrome, changing passwords, etc.) still is reported as occurring 1500 miles from where I am located. Is the geo-locator for the IP address that far off or is there some security issue I have not yet identified?

Why can’t I access my Facebook account even after providing a government ID?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 22:51:31 +0000

I received an email from Facebook asking me if I had added another email address to my account. I click on the option that stated that I had not added that email address to my account. Then I received another email from Facebook which stated that it came from the same server and did I know how this happened or who had done it. I responded that I didn’t know. Then they locked my account. When I tried to sign in, it requested that I sign in on one of three browsers or send them a photo of a government ID. I tried both. At one point it appeared that they let me change my password, but they still are requesting that I sign in on one of three browsers. When I do this, I get the same message that my account has been locked and click on a message to answer some questions. When I click on it, I get the request to sign on using one of the three browsers. Around and around the mulberry bush I go.

Why can I not install Talkatone on my Samsung Galaxy Ace running Android 2.3.6?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:49:09 +0000

I wanted to ask your help in downloading the Talkatone app on my Samsung Galaxy Ace.

I’ve checked online and it says that the app is compatible with Android versions of 2.2 and up. My phone is 2.3.6 and when I go to the Google App Store to download it, a message appears on my screen saying that “This device is not compatible with this version.”

Technically, it should be. So, why won’t my phone allow the download?

Are websites crashing or freezing due to a Flash issue and how can I fix it?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:45:12 +0000

No matter what browser I use, I have problems with Flash, at least that is what I am being told to update all the time. I have even tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Flash, but I still have the same problem. I keep switching browsers to whatever works, but it is happening on them all.

My Laptop is reasonably new and I regularly run cleaners and virus checkers, etc. and try to keep everything updated.

Also, when I do open a link, I always have to open it twice because the first time it is always an ad. I have run everything I can think of to get rid of malware, etc, but it is still happening. Once I open the link a second time I get the page I want, but the first is always an ad.

Why can I not open some 1MB+ image files recovered with Recuva?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:38:31 +0000

I recovered some images from an SD card using Recuva (pretty cool). All the files are image files and some of the the files recovered are in excess of 1MB.

When I open them (MS Picture Manager and Photoshop) all I get is the small square with an X and a message along the lines of the image is not coded properly (or some such).

Any ideas on how I can get these files to show the image they represent?

Can the Jawbone UP bracelet be worn while swimming?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:36:21 +0000

Reference your Fitbit Flex vs Jawbone UP comparative review. Your review does not mention swimming. Swimming is a major daily activity for me. If the Jawbone UP cannot be worn in the water, then it is useless to me.
