    A friend of mine with an iphone has just done an icloud update and now has lost all her photos, about 1100. I don't think she had her phone backed up to itunes but I might be wrong. Not having an iphone I don't know so thought I would ask the experts, is there anything she can try at this point, other than having a breakdown?

    So for the last month or two, my computer has been REAAALLLYYY SLLLLOOOOOOWWWWW at booting up. I am running Windows 7 64 bit edition. So one day after waiting about ten minutes to get to the log on screen, I log in and my eyes are assaulted by this horrible horrible Windows 98 theme, and a lovely little message that says this: Windows could not connect to The System Event Notification Service service. This problem prevents standard users from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond Had this for a month or two, at first I worked out to just wait on my log in screen until my …

    Right, in brief, Outlook email synched to iphone, ipad, Mac and desktop PC in the office (don't ask me why but it is :D ). It uses a POP server, sent to a host site (for company domain purposes) and to a host to override BT as we were having major problems with our email delivery. Question is, if the email is read and deleted from say the iphone, how do we set it up to delete it from everything else at the same time?

    I could really do with some help from one of you computer wizzes out there My computer has suddenly developed a problem and I do not have a clue why.... when I go on to Utube I can watch the video fine, but the sound is really really quiet, almost like it is not there at all. I have checked all the volumes and they are fine (I hadnt touched them when the problem started). When I play a MP3 track from the computer the sound is fine. The sound is also fine when I play an embedded video (ie, from BBC, or PS.com!). This only happened a couple of days ago, and I dont recall changing any settings on the computer, although I have downloaded a windows update. I have tried rest…

    I've been trying to do this for days on multiple Linux distros with no luck. I decided (out of sheer curiosity) to attempt to build from source... Apache PHP MySQL I wanted MySQL server on a separate server from the PHP and HTTP ones; but I can't seem to get PHP to connect to MySQL. ./configure --with-mysql doesn't seem to include the SQL libraries (I think I'm using the correct terminology) and phpinfo(); shows no sign of MySQL, only SQLite. I tried installing a MySQL "Connector" for PHP. My question is.... How on earth do I configure PHP for a remote MySQL server?
