Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

Not sure this is the right thread. Seems my computer has been banned by a certain online retailer. I can successfully place orders from other devices on the same network using the same act, but any order placed from my desktop will be automatically cancelled. I downloaded a program to change Mac address, didn't help. Any suggestions, short of buying a new desktop?
How about incognito

Interestingly, this worked using tunnel bear. Interesting because in the past I haven't found vpn helped with this retailer. Thanks!

Every time I sign into one of my Yahoo/Gmail accounts from incognito on my computer I get an email that someone successfully signed into my account from Israel.  I'm in the US but I have taken my comp to Israel.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

How hard is that to do?

I assume I access it from the back and unscrew and pull it out?

Wow didn't know it's so easy to open and take the hard drive out.
 It slides out with a click of a button.
 (that was before I cracked some of the plastic coverings trying to figure out where the plastic/metal opens to take the hard drive out!)
 Thanks guys.
