Today I was working on a Google Spreadsheet with my Google Apps for work account from work, I was adding multiple images to it. Suddenly an error appeared:
“There was a problem, a server error occurred and we were unable to save your last change. We are restoring your spreadsheet to its previous state.”
The spreadsheet was not getting the latest changes saved and entered into an endless loop of the same error popping up over and over again.
I tried several things I came up with, plus some other suggestions I found online. These are the things I tried and didn’t solve the issue:
Its been several months since I moved from the Windows world to the MAC world (at least at home). But until today, one of the things that annoyed me a lot was the fact that everytime I dragged and dropped a website URL to my desktop to access it later, a .WEBLOC files was created. These files are compatible with Safari Mac Browser, but Windows doesnt know what to do with them. I needed a solution to be able to open the shortcuts of pages I create with both Windows and Mac computers.
So after searching online I found this post on Apple Forums, where a good samaritan called MarkDouma created a free little application called Webloc Finagler for OSX to just drag and drop the Webloc files and the app will convert them to .URL files. The created files will be pointing to the same website and fully compatible with both OSX and Windows :).
One more time, Apple decided to go out from a widely used standard and create their own. If Apple really wants more people on board, they have to makes easier for Windows users to feel tempted on migrating. I am in favor of creating new standards if they actually are better, but you cant ignore what already exists, it must be backwards compatible too.
Sometimes you want to paste a captured image with Snagit into a Gmail new mail and you just see an empty box instead of the image. The problem is the depth of the image captured by Snagit, and here is how to fix it.
For existing images you already captured you can do the following
In Snagit Editor (while watching the image you captured and can’t paste in Google Mail), go to the tab “Image” and then go to “Color Effects” then choose “Color Depth” and then change the drop down menu to “True Color 24 bit”. Now you should be able to paste the images without any trouble in Gmail.
If you want to make this change permanent for all the images you capture
Go to the capture profile settings, choose the little arrow beside “effects” and then go to “Color depth” and choose “Custom color depth“, set it as “True Color 24 Bits” and to end click Ok.
From now onward, every image you paste in Google Mail will work.
Ever wondered how to download in easy steps all your stuff at Google?
Easy! Just point your browser to www.google.com/takeout and select exactly what you would like to download.
Start by clicking on “Create an archive” and then choose exactly on the items you would like to have an archive file created.
When the file is created, Google will let you know so you can download it to your computer or you can enter again the address mentioned before to see your already created archives.
Works like a charm! and you have everything backed up on your own computer 🙂
I´ve supported a project in Indiegogo which objective was to get 1 million dollars, it already passed 2 million.
This is because the idea (which has already been tested in practice) its to convert all roads into solar roads by installing panels on top or as the replacement of the asphalt.
The idea is amazing, and although it sounds like science fiction it would be great if the whole world focuses on this technology. Their estimations for USA is that if all the roads would be replaced with solar roadways, they could generate 3 times more the energy the country needs to work.
Imagine clean energy and free for everybody. How far the lobbyists will allow this to move forward? We will never know, but definitely its something all governments in the world should keep an eye at.
I was struggling with my Microsoft Lifecam Studio webcam because it was not working properly.
I have a Retina MacBook Pro 15″ (late 2013) and I test the camera with the PhotoBooth app on Mavericks. All I was able to see was a super burned white-colored image.
After researching online for solutions I came across this program on the App store that costs USD 8. I must say, it was worth it, because from the moment I installed it, the problem was solved. Now I am able to use my camera without any troubles. (more…)
