Hi,

I was wondering if someone could explain to me what iCloud is. I know for the most part that it is a place that you store data, but does it take up any space on the computer? Also how do you access a file once it is in the "Cloud", as well as how do you put it in there to begin with? How safe is it? Do I want to put important documents (such as tax info) in it or not?

Thank you!

Hi,

I have been working on trying to get a game up that is an online based game. Everything that I look up says i need to open up specific ports on my computer.

Hi,

I hired someone recently to get rid of a virus. They said that I had gotten a virus called "conduit". I looked up what it was and its nasty. But I am still having the same issues that i was having when i hired the person. They were quite pricey so, before i drag him out here again and pay again I want to see if I can figure it out for myself. Can you give me a couple of easy ways to check and see if it is off?

Thanks!

Hi,

I got a new TV and I am trying to set up my really old VHS player to it. For some odd reason my TV does not have an Audio/Video input or output. These are the connections my TV has. My TV has 2 HDMI, 1 Composite set, and 2 USB slots. Money is no object here. I just spent all this money on the TV, I don't mind a little more to get it working. I thought that maybe the composite might, but the colors are not right. 

Thanks!

Hi,
I am in the market for a new tv and i have a lot of questions. The main one i have is which is better to have, 1080p with a 60Hz frame rate, or a higher frame rate with 720p and a 120Hz frame rate. The main reason i am asking this is i want to know if the 1080p will be able to keep up with a lower frame rate. It is a bit more expensive and this is a lot of money so I wanted to know...

Hi,

I have been going to my mail (Gmail in this case) and someone is spamming me. I have unsubscribe to this particular place many many times. I have put it in spam and just ignoring it but it keeps somehow getting around my spam. I have unsubscribe, deleted it, and about everything I can think of. Is there a way I can permanently get rid of it? If I have to install a AntiSpam program that is ok but i would rather (if possible) just get rid of it without downloading anything.

Thanks!
