The “Date Taken” in the Photos App is showing the incorrect date. This one speaks for itself. When flipping through photos using the Photos app in Windows 10, all other photos besides the first one that I open, gives me nonsense dates for “Date taken”. I thought somehow the metadata got corrupted, but clearly the […]
Outlook on my home computer was updated recently with a new Simplified Ribbon and an upgraded Search bar located in the title bar. I may have been annoyed by these changes a while ago, but by now, I am so used to these arbitrary cosmetic changes that they often just go unnoticed (well, more like […]

For more than five years, this has plagued all iTunes users for syncing music from the iTunes library on a desktop computer to iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Here are just a few posts from angry users regarding this.

For years, I have come to rely on the basic calculator. You know the one. Numbers and four basic operators and a button to clear the results when you make a mistake entering numbers and get a result that makes you go “whaaaa?” I am running Windows 10 Home Edition on my notebook. I needed […]
I just migrated to Office365 from a locally-installed and managed Exchange server, which has been trouble-free for as long as I can remember. I was previously filtering messages to a Junk Email folder by looking for a unique IronPort header, specifically this one: “X-Spam-Status: Yes”. With the Outlook 365 system, a cloud-based mail gateway and […]
Most modern Windows installers are friendly in that they don’t install shortcuts on the desktop and taskbar by default. In fact, most installers today ask you if you want these items installed for those who do want them visible. I prefer a nice clean desktop, which i typically reserve only for temporary items that I […]
Normally, I like to think of cookies as yummy items, but not in this case. I just brought home a brand-new Dell system with Windows 7 Ultimate, and rather than re-install the system from original Microsoft Windows installation media, I decided I would try to stick with the pre-installed operating system. Mostly everything is okay. […]
Our department requires copies of invoices of purchases, and usually I print them to a PDF to send to our administrative department for auditing purposes. I have never had problem creating PDFs with Adobe Acrobat until recently. Since Acrobat was in its infancy, I always used the “print to PDF” method rather than using any […]
This is something that I reported to Adobe in 2008. The problem with Adobe is that they don’t often listen to their customers, even though they claim to have “support” on their web site. Audition uses temporary (scratch) space for storing a copy of the sound file(s) that you are editing and for storing any […]
