Since the IOS7 upgrade on my iPad 2, whenever I return from the forum (and Safari) to the home page and open an app like YouTube, or FaceTime, or Google Maps, or similar, when I return to Safari (and the tabs that were open…

Problem with Microsoft Office 2010
I am having a problem with my Word and Excel documents. Two or three times a day they just crash for no apparent reason. I have tried a completely new install a couple of times but that hasn't worked. This has been happening for a couple of months now. My PC runs on MS Vista. Nothing else seems to be affected. I've run…

I was looking through my 'sent' texts to delete some, to make room, when i saw a text that simply said the date (not as usual, recipients name) (sunday) and 'text message'. I don't know what this is it…

Sky remote extender
In a friends house. Flat Tv hung on wall with an understairs cupboard behind. Could the sky box be installed out of site in the cupboard and be controlled with one of these or similar ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Labgear-MRX955-Satellite-TV-Remote-Control-Extender-SKY-SKY-PLUS-/230925962374

internet explorer
Keeps crashing when I use the search function (Google or Bing or...) "Internet Explorer has stopped worked" The only recent change has been I uploaded a more recent version of Avast antivirus. During the final step, I realised it was loading Google Chrome (hate it when software gives you stuff you didn't ask for!), and I…

Mobile -Network not available
When I try to use some applications, I'm getting "Network not available" message. But I can make & receive phone calls, so surely the network should be available if I can make calls. About 6 hours ago, my battery accidentally came out. The Date & Time have still not updated. Why is the happening ?

Mouse pen for photshop
Hi, I need to get a 'mouse pen' and mat to use mainly with Photoshop and illustrator. Looked on Amazon today and there seems to be a huge difference in price (from £30 - £300). I am not techy at all so please be gentle (:)) but we just need a decent pen and mat so doing selection etc is more accurate than using a normal…

Hey, Just wondered if anyone knows if Channel 4 will be adding to the list of Android devices that allow you to download programmes on the 4od app? The BBC is doing so with the Android iplayer app.

Hi there, My daughter's laptop is broken and she has savings from working and wants a Macbook. She is in the upper sixth form, 18 soon, and has an NUS card which she thinks provides a 15% discount on a Macbook, although I wonder if that only applies to further education students ( although she is going through the UCCA…

What do I need - Netbook, tablet or smartphone?
Some guidance please on what I need? Bought a reconditioned netbook last year to take on holiday - used for 2 weeks only and now an error comes up about checking cable connection & no bootable device (presume its "dead" and a waste of money!). So what do I replace it with? Only need it for 2 or 3 weeks a year for a few…

Dell battery message
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, perhaps six or seven years old now. When I turned it on tonight it said my battery wasn't charging and is getting old. I forget the exact wording. Is it possible to buy a new battery and, if so, where from? Is it just a case of changing the lead or is it more involved? You can guess from this,…

Anyone owns an HP Officejet 8600?
I just purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I'm not too happy with the print quality. The best way to describe it is that the Normal quality is very similar to my previous printer's (Officejet 6500) draft quality, and for work documents to get a decent quality with no streaks I would have to use best quality instead of…

Lost Passwords
Does anyone have any nice, easy methods for getting into a computer where the password has been totally forgotten? My brother did this (as in changing the password and then forgetting what he'd changed it to) with my mum's new laptop before I had time to get to her house and set it up/show her how to use it. Toshiba wanted…
