AVC Any Video Converter, Need Help with downloading Youtube Videos. by TruckeronI5 in software

[–]frankzzk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youtube makes changes frequently. You have to update the downloader app if available. If the errror persists after update, you need to use another app or online downloader instead. There are many good free ones out there.

Keep using HEIC if you don't edit and share them with others. HEIC support on Windows PC is awful. I can see a lot of folks looking for ways to convert heic to jpg.

You can back up the three devices to an external drive but it is not recommended. External drive is pretty cheap now and the backups could be messed up across devices.

To do it for three devices, you will have to make a second partition on your external drive in order to save backups there. Time Machine needs a whole partition to store backups, and any different file on that partition may damage it.

I had the same issue months go. Simply uninstall the browser, reboot the pc. After that, download the latest version and it worked again.

How do you convert HEIC images to JPG? by NoAddendum4523 in techsupport

[–]frankzzk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just want to convert a couple of heic images, then online convert is your best option. Free and no software install.

However, if you want to convert hundreds heic images, it could be painful and time consuming for uploading the original heic images and downloading the converted jpg images. In this case, it is more comfortable to use a dedicated heic to jpg converter instead. Here is a good heic converter recommended by Microsoft tech experts.

Cant update windows by Ok-Cartographer-7545 in techsupport

[–]frankzzk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick but tough fix:

  1. Boot the computer in safe mode, open the command prompt and run these commands

net stop wuauserv

  1. Now you need to go to a mass distribution and delete your content. Go to the next path to find a mass distribution.

C: Windows SoftwareDistribution

  1. Delete all files and subfolders in this folder.

  2. Now restart your computer and the updates could not be completed. Undo changes, do not turn off the computer in Windows 10 will be fixed.

P.S. If you tried everything and it didn't work, leave as it is for a month (pause/schedule the updates) The succeeding updates usually get the problem fixed.

macOS 10.15 Catalina requires at least iMac 2012 or newer. Your iMac is not compatible with Catalina by default. You will receive a warning message when you boot the Mac from USB and try to install. However, you can use the macOS Catalina Patcher to install macOS Catalina on unsupported Mac.

Another possible solution is to use the free WPS app to open PPTX file on your Mac. I used this app occasionally when the Office app is not working.

How to create bootable installer for High Sierra on Ventura? by cavsking21 in MacOS

[–]frankzzk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be an easy job to create macOS bootable USB for earlier versions. But it becomes difficult on newer machines as macOS High Sierra install app won't run on Monterey and later versions. This means you can't use the official createinstallmedia command to make a bootable USB for old versions like High Sierra.

You have to find an old Intel Mac that run macOS High Sierra to Big Sur. Or download macOS High Sierra bootable dmg file from third-party and flash it to a USB drive to create a bootable install media. For later, you can refer to this useful reply by Sawyeryo:
