just a word to the unwise

My car was broken into several years ago; they stole a fairly expensive-looking, installed radio and did a lot of damage to the dash, speedometer, seats, etc. I still lock my cars so the insurance will hold. I think locks will keep honest people honest and helps us collect on insurance.

I can't express enough bad words to describe my dislike for thieves.

I Still Can't Update Windows

I assume you have restored from a backup dated a while before the problem existed. Given that, my last resort would be to reload the operating system.

it's a throw up machine !!!!!

One of my engineer friends, who is VERY knowledgeable about computers, is a tester for Windows 10. He likens it to Win 8 on steroids, but with a start menu. He likes it a lot but he likes Win 8 too. After reading Kims article, and others, and since I found Win 8.1 to be very frustrating on my wifes computer, I plan to delay implementation for a long time (if ever)!

Computer FaceBook Question

Is anyone on the UHH really familiar with FaceBook... (show quote)

I'm not sure how it works, but I think it has something to do with the way that the other people signed into FB, and whether they checked the "KEEP ME SIGNED IN option." What to do? I have no clue.

Refurbished Nikon D7100 help

Nunya1432 wrote:

I have been looking for a factory reset, I'll google it now. Or perhaps, read the manual. The dealer had over a 99% satisfaction rating. It was refurbed and came with a Nikon USA warranty. Looks brand new. I'm sure it's user error, just not sure how to fix it. I'm used to Sony's live preview so I know what the shot will look like before I take it. So, finding lots of black images has me stumped. I'll start over and see what I can figure out!

I would start by doing a rese3t

"One Lens Fits All"

If it were my nickel, the Panasonic would be to much to resist. Lieca - none better, 1 inch sensor, etc. The weight reduction alone would tip the scale for me

Humbly asking for help

Two weeks ago I purchased a nikond7200, and a nikon 28-300mmlens. My wife did not divorce me. Now when I take photos they look fine in the viewer but are kinda blurred. I thought after I purchased this outfit I was going to as good as my fellow Hogs. I guess it just goes to show it ain't the camera. Any advice would be kindly appreciated.

Check the autofocus calibration. Typically not a problem with Nikon lenses; can you take a good manual focus picture?

This complicated.
I took this with my Nikon in RAW. I edited it in lightroom exported it to my desktop hard drive in jpg sRGB. My Carbonite backup program automatically backed it up. Then on my iPad using a Carbonite app I accessed it at carbonite and opened it in my Photogene app and edited some more for fun to see what I could do. Not bad.

So after all that here it is.

Well done!
