Hello House,

My Apple Mac Bro is coming on or displaying anything. I noticed the Power light is on but I can’t see anything. And later the system will hot.

Tho, it has been giving me update to change that battery for a while now..

What could be the problem ?

There could be multiple reasons but since you have been notified to change the battery in the past, then that would likely be the source of the issue. Furthermore, Clearer and detailed symptoms of the issue is required to be able to drill down and confirm what the actual issue could be.

Voice control is hit-or-miss, but it’s a handy way to conquer tasks quickly when it’s working well. Windows 10 has built-in voice controls for some of its most popular features already, including Cortana, which makes quick searches for apps or answers to questions a breeze.

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/qrjMkQ4iNPiNFvK9Um3wk3-970-80.png

we’re going to get Windows Speech Recognition set up, and expand the limits of what Cortana alone can do.

1. Type Windows Speech into the Cortana search bar, and tap Windows Speech Recognition to open it.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yjJVGV6MHRakRPZN27MfDn-970-80.png

2. Click Next in the pop-up window to get started.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7LQyCfphHfRBzkjM2waU4n-970-80.png

3. Select your microphone and press Next. If you’re wanting the best results, a headset or other standalone microphone is a solid bet. For laptop users, or those with built-in mics, these will work just fine.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MyeBcTQwpz2a9Qo95LEABg-970-80.png

4. Follow the on-screen instructions for microphone placement, and press Next once you’re ready.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/E99G3JJbMMHnCPbLZZzFF7-970-80.png

5. Read the on-screen prompt to calibrate the microphone and press Next.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cuDHoMFRH9FqJ6Cx7bEYzU-970-80.png

6. Choose whether to allow your computer to review documents and e-mail to better understand you when you speak.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/eG7DKqG8gBi7dbBUkberJg-970-80.png

7. Select an activation mode. Windows Speech Recognition can turn off when you say “Stop Listening” with voice activation mode, or you can choose to use a key combination (CTRL + Windows) to activate and de-activate the service.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/BVA45rs2E24Kjm84kqAGPP-970-80.png

8. Print the speech recognition card for easy access to the commands Windows understands, or you can just save this link for later viewing.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kA335jJC9UWUGnuJXmz48U-970-80.png

9. Choose to run Speech Recognition at startup, or you’ll have to manually enable it through the control panel.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/P8WnZ9Qxm3hRfCDdih6Mgd-970-80.png

10. Finish the setup by watching the tutorial to learn more about Speech Recognition’s capabilities.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wF5QNM4g4Yofp9SZaF8wsH-970-80.png


Now Windows speech function has been set up and ready to fully utilize( Trust me, it will make your tasks easier).

Next is accessing your bookmarks from your icloud browser to windows e.g if you want to access certain links/websites you have bookmarked(saved) on your Icloud brower directly on your windows browser, then below are the steps to take which is very similar to the photos shared earlier

How To Configure Bookmarks in iCloud on Windows

1. Click on Change button next to Bookmarks, unless you use Internet Explorer.

How To Configure iCloud Photos on Windows

1. Select Options next to Photos to check your photo settings

Your PC has been signed into iCloud on Windows!
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vYBmHc3VF8PYhxR5ybtgye-970-80.png

Even if you've decided to leave your Mac for a PC, you don't necessarily need to leave behind Apple's iCloud. Apple made an app for its users to access their iCloud drive and sync their precious photos and bookmarks with any PCs they may own.

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vYBmHc3VF8PYhxR5ybtgye-970-80.png

The iCloud for Windows utility helps PC users with iPhones stay with Apple's cloud service, so your cloud files are still accessible on your new computer. This way, you can set up folders to upload and download images from your iPhone, have one consistent set of bookmarks that syncs between Mobile Safari and the Windows browser your use (as long as you use Firefox, Internet Explorer or Chrome).

So if you haven't decided to make the leap to a new cloud service that matches your new PC (OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox all come to mind), here are instructions for setting up and using iCloud on Windows.

This is a Test

Klington:
Please how do i download them because i can't even find them on Apple store.

You’ll need to use a different web browser (like Safari) to download Chrome for Mac first:

Open Safari (or other web browser) then navigate to google.com/chrome

Hit Download Chrome for Mac

A new window will appear asking you to agree to the Terms of Use. If you agree, click on Accept and Install.

When the Chrome for Mac download is finished, open the file called googlechrome.dmg and go through the installation process

Drag the Chrome icon to the Applications folder when asked — the last step before you finally have Chrome on Mac

Launch Google Chrome from Applications or straight from your Dock

Remove the Google Chrome download for Mac from the Downloads folder by dragging it to the Trash.


NOTE: The same applies to other browser you want to down load on Mac. Now that you know how to download Google Chrome, you might want to make Chrome default browser on Mac. To do this, simply open it and click the three dots in the top-right corner, followed by Settings, then in the Default Browser section click Make Default.

Klington:
please can anyone help me out on which other browser i can download on MacBook Pro and how, because the default browser {safari} is just connecting to server when i try to open even Facebook.

You can download the following

Chrome.
Camino.
iCab.
OmniWeb.
Opera.

Copying From an iPhone

This is where things get tricky. In an attempt to avoid piracy, syncing from an iPhone isn’t as easy and sending data to it. Luckily, there are some workarounds.

Music and Movies: This keeps you stuck in Apple’s wheelhouse. Though you can move non-iTunes media files to your phone from your PC, you can't send them from the handset to the computer. However if you buy media from iTunes on your iPhone, you can get it on your desktop via the cloud. As long as you maintain one Apple ID, you’ll be able to download all your songs and movies again from iTunes on your PC at no extra cost.

Photos: To learn how to import photos from an iPhone to Windows 10, I will be sharing that in a new topic because the steps are quite much(About 22 actions to be performed but will be simplified).

How to Set Up and Use iCloud on Windows: This will also be shared in a new topic.

Files: The cloud is your friend for syncing files. While I personally use Dropbox, you can also use iCloud.

If you’re a Dropbox user, you can use the iPhone app and desktop app to view files or photos on either device. If you’re a Google user, you can use Sheets, Slides and Docs.

Just because iPhones play better with MacBooks doesn’t meant that they can’t work with Windows 10 laptops. Syncing your data requires a little more know-how on Windows 10 (as opposed to macOS’ plug-and-play syncing, or how you can just drag and drop files with Android on Windows 10), but with a couple clicks and a little patience, you’ll have everything up to date.

Copying to an iPhone

Syncing music, photos, movies and TV shows means getting comfortable with iTunes. If you’re already using it, you’re good to go. If you’re not, you can download that here(https://www.apple.com/itunes/?irgwc=1&aosid=p239&cid=aos-us-aff-ir&irchannel=13631&irpid=221109&clickid=wHMWAl08sxyIUlVxIw0gnRHAUkBTOyTWxQd40Y0&ircid=7613) and import your music by going to File > Add Folder to Library to move your current music into iTunes. Once you’re ready to sync, follow these steps.

1. Connect your iPhone to your laptop with a Lightning cable.

2. Click Continue when asked if the computer can have access to the phone.

3. Click the phone icon in the top bar.

4. Click Sync.
This should sync the two devices. If it doesn’t, go to the sidebar and enable the Sync checkboxes under Music, Apps, Movies, TV Shows and Photos and click Sync again. Depending on how much data you’re syncing, this may take awhile. Get a drink or a snack and come back later.

5. Check your photos, music, apps and videos to confirm that they arrived on the phone from Windows 10.

Morning All, Any time you can hit a key combination instead of rolling your mouse pointer across the screen, you save a lot of time. Windows 10 has a long list of keyboard shortcuts that help you launch new features such as Cortana, navigate around the OS or organize your desktop layout with ease. While you might know some of the traditional Windows keyboard shortcuts, you will be surprised to find some new tricks below.

Cortana Shortcuts

Windows + Q: Opens Cortana's Home View, enables search by speech or keyboard input.

Windows + C: Opens Cortana's speech prompt

New in Windows 10

Windows Key + A: Opens Windows 10 notifications

Windows Key + I: Opens Windows 10 settings

Windows Key + Ctrl + D: Creates new virtual desktop

Windows Key + Ctrl + F4: Closes current virtual desktop

Windows Key + Ctrl + Left or Right: Switches between virtual desktops

Windows Key + F1: Opens Edge and Searches "How do I get help in Windows 10" with Bing (formerly opens Help)

Windows Key + Print Screen Key: Creates a screenshot of the whole screen in the Photos app. More screenshot key commands can be found here.... https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/capture-screenshots-windows-10

Windows Standards

Windows Key: Shows the Windows 10 Start Menu

Windows Key + L: Locks your Windows 10 device

Windows Key + Tab: Launches Windows 10 Task View

Windows Key + Enter: Opens Narrator, a program that reads text for you and shows you tips.

Desktop Commands

Windows Key + X: Opens Start button context menu

Windows Key + Left, Right, Up or Down: Moves the active window around on your screen. Left and Right snap the window to either side so it takes up half of the screen, Up and Down shrink the window to a quarter-size and move it to that corner. Once you have used Windows Key + Up to place it in the top corner, pressing that command again makes the window take up your whole screen. If you have hit Windows Key + Down to place a window in the bottom corner, hitting that command again minimizes the window.

Windows Key + D: Show Windows desktop (also available with Windows Key + M)

Windows Key + ,: Temporarily show desktop

Connecting and Sharing

Windows Key + H: Share content (if supported by current app)

Windows Key + K: Connect to wireless displays and audio devices

Windows Key + R: Run a command

Windows Key + P: Project a screen

I bought the laptop new from someone who bought it and packed it..

I have done some upgrades like windows 10 21H1..

It is possible the upgrade was not done well. I will share probable solutions for you to try and let me know the outcome and if unsuccessful, you might need to do a proper windows 10 installation and activation again.

How to fix a USB not recognized
If your desktop computer or laptop doesn’t recognize your USB devices, don’t be alarmed. While inconvenient, it shouldn’t be a permanent problem. It’s also one of the easier problems to fix so you can get back to work in no time.

Option 1: Computer restart
Let’s face it. There’s some truth to the old IT adage that many computer glitches can be fixed by turning your computer off and on again. An unrecognized USB device can sometimes be the result of an error that the computer will resolve upon restart. Be sure you safely close out of all programs and use the Start Menu to restart your PC. This may resolve your USB recognition error.

Option 2: Try a different port
Is your computer getting older? Do you frequently use the same USB port out of convenience? Try to use the USB device in another port. If you don't have the same issues, it's probably a physical defect in your favorite port. You can choose to have it fixed or start relying on the new location for plugging in accessories.

Option 3: Try a different computer and device
There’s a small chance that your USB device is damaged and not your PC. Try inserting the device into another computer. Is there still an error message? It’s possible that your device has physical damage and isn’t usable.

Option 4: Update Windows
A much-needed Windows update could fix this problem because many updates include drivers as well. See that you have the latest Microsoft updates by following these steps:
• Open your Settings
• Choose Updates and Security
• Select Windows Update
• Then click Check for Updates
Your computer will let you know if it needs to update and will ask for permission to install and restart.

Option 5: Update drivers
Drivers seem to be the root of many computer problems, and USB device errors are no exception. In Windows 10, you can attempt to solve driver errors by updating your device driver. To do this, follow these steps:
• Push the Windows + R keys
• Type devmgmt.msc in the box to prompt the device manager to open
• Go down the list until you see Universal Serial Bus Controller and click the plus icon to expand
• Find the USB device (It may have a yellow exclamation mark next to it)
• Select Update driver software, then choose Browse my computer for driver software and Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
• Choose Generic USB Hub, then click Next
Windows should start the update on its own and let you know when it's finished. Try using your USB device again to see if it works.

Option 6: Change Root Hub settings
If you’re still not getting the desired result, changing a small setting could help:
• Push the Windows + R keys
• Type devmgmt.msc in the box to prompt the device manager to open
• Go down the list and find Universal Serial Bus Controller, then click to expand
• Find the USB Root Hub and right-click it
• Select Properties to open a new window
• In this new window, choose the Power Management tab
• Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
• Click OK to save your changes, and repeat this for all Root Hubs
You may need to restart your computer for this to take effect.

Option 7: Disable Fast Startup
While it’s not entirely clear why Fast Startup in Windows 10 can cause errors, disabling this feature has created a positive outcome for many users with USB issues.
• Type Control Panel into the Startup Menu search field, or ask Cortana to open it for you
• Access the Hardware and Sound category
• Select Power Options
• Find Choose what the power button does on the left-hand side
• Click Change settings that are currently unavailable
• There will be a box next to Turn on fast startup. Make sure that is unchecked
• Click Save to keep your changes and close out the window
Try your USB device again.

How to prevent future errors
While this is a common problem that will likely happen again in the future, there are a few steps you can take to limit the potential.
• First, always use the Eject function to remove a USB device
• Do this by right-clicking on the USB icon in the lower right icon tray on your desktop and selecting Eject to tell your computer that you want it to disconnect from the device
• After you’ve been given the all clear - typically a message that it’s safe to remove the device - you can physically pull the USB product out from your laptop or desktop port

I just bought a laptop and it requires to activate Windows 10 pro. And it's saying I need a product key for the activation which cost a lot on the Microsoft store.

Pls, is there any other way I can activate to Windows 10?

Good Morning, I do sell genuine Activation Keys for Windows 10 Pro, Pro N, Enterprise and Education.

There is no way to activate except you use a valid activation/license key and please be careful of pirated versions as those could crash and stop working anytime.
