why would ms completely change the format though, it's like they don't even care about user-friendliness at all

You could try using OpenOffice to convert them. It's available for the Mac OS.
The new x formats are XML coded for lols - this is what the newest injunction/lawsuit against MS is about btw, them trying to appropriate and close another open protocol viz IE handling of html and Access's weird variant of sql.

How the fucking fuck do I get my gmail contacts onto my new iPhone? This is going to drive me batty. Googling kept turning up the same "solution" that doesn't work for shit.
GAH I hate technology. Except for ILX. Love you boo.

i have had a nightmare month with various laptop, desktop, hard drive and car radio issues,
Solved most of them by breaking the shit out of the item in question.
I mean, 'solved' tbf

My latest solution is to put an apple sticker on my Dell so that it will act like a Mac. Also to rub the iphone up against the Dell screen to help the gmail contacts get in there via direct contact.

Would live an answer. All of my Gmail conacts are on my iPhone bc I previously had an Android, which syncs beautifully w Gmail, and when I got iPhone, they transferred. I think??
― Sandbox Jesse, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
But they're all out of date bc they don't sync :(
update: I have now shown the iphone who is BOSS

quincie, what did you do?
― Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 04:18 (twelve years ago) link
I had turned on iCloud for contacts and then followed the instructions for using Exchange to pull them from my google account, which did not work. So I went into itunes and tried to pull them that way, which did not work either, at least I turned *off* iCloud and then used itunes to import, then switched back to iCloud. Haven't yet tested whether or not the contacts will synch between iphone and google :(

Oh, thanks for your response, quincie. My bookmark for this thread got muffed up.
I thought I had a another boring question, but I think it's sorted. But I'll ask anyway: Malware Bytes: C/D? Is free good enough, or upgrade to Pro?

I have a bunch of manilla folders in my bookmarks toolbar on Firefox. (Categories like humor, music, news etc.) I would like to replace the folders with icons (images I find or make). As it is I have to hover over the manilla folders to discover what they are as I can't seem to memorize them by position. How can I do this? I use the Smartest Bookmarks Bar addon fwiw. Can't seem to figure this out via Google search.

Ok, help. fucking help. I have this insane malware on my laptop now called Win 7 -- it's a fake antivirus thing that seems to have completely fucked up my computer. I get tons of popup windows, all my start menu options are gone, many programs won't open, etc.
I ran a special tool that disables the processes associated with the program. It actually worked, and then I ran adaware, which removed two "trojans" after a long scan, and I thought everything was fine. But it's still there and the next time I booted it was the same problem again.
To make things worse, I can't find my windows discs. HELP

Mrs. Redd's relative got this same virus yesterday, I think she just took her computer to Staples and let them fix it. I think you can also use some other software to get rid of it, but you might have to also manually delete stuff from the registry

my moms opened a fedex email and had the same thing happen. she had to take it in to fix it too
― kamb, Monday, 2 January 2012 01:50 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, exactly the fedex announcement. Although it was in the spam filter

I think I fixed it -- first you have to get this thing called RKill (just google it) which stops all the processes. You need the file with a disguised extension (it's .com or .something else instead of .exe) so the virus doesn't block it. Then after it stopped everything, I made sure McAfee antivirus was fully updated (this took a long time for some reason -- I think the malware might have made screwed something up). Finally, I ran a full scan using mcafee, which found like 20 different infected files. Then I restarted and had to run one more scan, and finally a lot of my files were back, although things are still a little screwed up, e.g. netflix/silverlight wouldn't work even after I reinstalled the browser and silverlight.
