Any way to transfer contacts from a dumb phone (LG Exalt VN360) to an iPhone 6? Both the phone were not on Verizon so I can’t use Verizon backup...

Some dumbphones can transfer contacts via bluetooth, either to another phone or to a computer. Did you check if your phone can do that?

Update: Didn't work to computer from current dumb phone but was able to bluetooth from other dumb phone...Thanks!
Is there an easy way to add from PC to iPhone? I saw option of adding them to iCloud on the web but I am only able to do one at a time...?

That's something you're going to have to ask someone else

though I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible.

You're welcome!

How about importing 'em all to Google and syncing?

(I'm not sure about how to sync to iPhone from PC, but what type of file/s do you currently have the contacts in on the PC?l

I found a solution bu combining all the contacts into one CSV file with the "copy *.csv combined-csv-files.csv after the file path withing the command prompt. https://www.live2tech.com/merge-multiple-csv-files-combine-one-large-csv-file/

I feel kinda stupid with this but here we go anyway...

I'm locked out of my PC username. I have a hint and after putting in that password it's still not working... (A few weeks ago I tried logging in and needed to do it 3-4 times until it worked caps etc ) but now I tried it Soo many times and it's simply not working....

Anyway to get into my username? (Not a Microsoft account )

Not the fanciest solution, but it may be worth a try to plug in a different keyboard and see if that helps. Maybe one of the keys on your keyboard is broken (or only works sometimes) and that's what is preventing you from typing the right password.

Or you can use the on screen keyboard through the ease of access icon.

You can download the program found at http://www.lazesoft.com/forgot-windows-admin-password-recovery-freeware.html
You will have to create a bootable CD/USB with that program and boot into it.

If you can boot to a Windows 10 installation disk (CD or USB) then the method in the link is very easy (IME)

So my desktop just randomly booted up without me pressing any buttons. I turned on the screen to what looked like a bios type of screen that said something about client ID and the Mac address of something. I quickly disconnected the Ethernet cable since I had no idea what it was. Then it said disconnecting from something and booted up regular.
I wanted to get a picture but I didn't have my phone on me.

Anybody know what it could've been?

Sounds like it was trying to do a network boot. Probably first in the boot order.

I checked the boot order. It said network controller was last on the list. Even if it was a network boot I didnt set anything up that it should boot up. Any idea how such a thing would happen? Can it be some sort of virus...?

My 5gb of iCloud is full. I want to stop having iCloud store my photos. When I toggled photos off, I got message that not all full resolution photos are on my phone and there is not enough space to download all my pics. I made room but haven’t seen the amount of memory photos is using increase significantly. When I try now again to turn off photos from iCloud, I get message that “This iPhone was. It able to download **** full resolution photos and videos. If you continue the low-resolution versions of these photos and videos will be removed.” Any suggestions?

I have a hardware issue with my sansa mp3 player. Is there an electronics thread?

My issue is that vocals in songs are distorted and/or low volume. When I switch from stereo to mono, all cuts out. All 3 contacts for the headphone jack seem to be good. What could be the issue?

Tried other headphones?
