SOLVED: Google+ stopped uploading photos with instant upload

January 2nd, 2012 by steve

I love Google’s “Instant Upload,” but suddenly it stopped working last month

After poking around the web, I found a suggestion that you login to Picasa and then it will work.  Yeah, right — how can that fix it?

I don’t know, but it did.

I fixed Google+ Instant Upload simply by logging into Picasa on my desktop.

SOLVED: Apps on Android Keep Re-updating Over and Over

October 11th, 2011 by steve

Recently, I noted that some apps on my Android were requiring updates a lot. At first I thought, “Wow — these developers are busy. But then I noted that the size of the update was the same each time. Exactly the same.

So I poked around and did some experimenting and found the solution.

  1. Let the download complete.
  2. From the Home Screen, select Menu / Settings / Applications/ Manage Applications /All
  3. Select the “Download Manager”
  4. Select “Clear data”

This solved my problem of some applications needing to update every day or every restart.

SOLVED: Dropbox gets stuck downloading “n” files…

October 10th, 2011 by steve

I love dropbox and have referred it to many people and businesses.

If you’d like a referral, let me know. By your asking and my referring, we both get bonus free space!

Recently, on one of my computers, Dropbox had been stuck “Downloading 7 files…”

This problem  persisted for several days.

At first, I tried uninstalling  dropbox and deleting the C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox folder and even deleting all the hidden dropbox files (.dropbox files) in my dropbox folders. But upon re-installation of dropbox, the problem persists.

In the end, I ran chkdsk /F /R.

Upon reboot, chkdsk found many errors and fixed them.

The dropbox problem went away.
