Accidentally deleted a user? Undelete user now available!


Restore a recently deleted user

After you delete a user, the user is added to the Recently deleted users list. For a short period of time (up to five days from the time of deletion) you can then restore the deleted user account and most or all of the user's data, including email and calendar events. However, note that we can't guarantee full data recovery for deleted users.
When the user account no longer appears in the Recently deleted users list, the user account is fully deleted and can't be restored.
These conditions must be met in order to restore a recently deleted user:
  • You must have super administrator privileges.
  • The deleted user name must not match an existing group name or another active user's email alias. If it does, you'll see a 'username already exists' error message.
  • You can't exceed your maximum number of user licenses. If you try to restore a deleted user when you don't have an available license, you'll see a 'domain is over user limit' error message. 
To restore a recently deleted user:
  1. Sign in to the Google Apps administrator control panel.
    The URL is https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/primary-domain-name, whereprimary-domain-name is the domain name you used to sign up for Google Apps.
  2. Click the Organization & users tab.
    If you have multiple organizations, stay at the top-level organization. Deleted users lose their organization details and move to the top organization. The deleted users list is therefore available only on the top organizational unit.
  3. Click the List drop-down menu (located at the upper-right of the list of users) and select Recently deleted users.
  4. Check the box next to the user you want to restore.
    If the user doesn't appear in this list, the account has been fully deleted and can no longer be restored.
    Note that you can restore only one user at a time.
  5. Click More actions > Undelete.
  6. If you have multiple organizations, select the organization where you want to assign the user.
  7. Click List > Active users in the organization where you assigned the user. The restored account should now be back in this list (or will be shortly).
    Note that if a user was suspended at the time the account was deleted, the user will still be suspended after the account is restored. In that case, click List > Suspended users.

Use Your Home Computer from Anywhere: A Comprehensive Guide to Remote Controlling Your PC

Your home computer is the perfect machine. It's customized to your exact needs, runs all your must-have apps, and holds every important file you'd ever need to access. The catch: It's not exactly practical to lug a computer with you everywhere you go. That's where remote access comes in. Here are three dead-simple ways to control your home computer from anywhere—your laptop, phone, or even a friend's computer—as though you were sitting directly in front of it.
We've talked about remote access countless times before, but if you're just starting out with the subject, it can be pretty overwhelming. You have a ton of different programs to choose from, some of which only work on certain platforms, and each of which has their own strengths depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Here, we'll share our favorite remote access methods for different situations, as well as alternatives you can try if our favorite doesn't work for you.
We've listed the cross platform options below for everyone, but there are also Windows-only and Mac-only programs for people that use the same OS on all their machines. Click your preference below to add its instructions to the guide.

Use Your Home Computer from Anywhere: A Comprehensive Guide to Remote Controlling Your PC
Use Your Home Computer from Anywhere: A Comprehensive Guide to Remote Controlling Your PC

Windows to Windows: Use the Built-In Remote Desktop Connection

Windows users have a ton of options, but we really like Windows' built-in Remote Desktop Connection for its Windows integration, high level of control, and the fact that it doesn't require any additional software to set up. Note that you'll need Windows Professional or higher for this feature to be available—Windows Home and Home Premium users will have to try one of the alternatives listed below—but that's usually pretty easy to get at a low price. Here's how to use it to access your Windows computer from another Windows machine.
Note that if you only want to access it from the inside of the network, you can just perform the steps in Option One, ignoring the first step of downloading and setting up Hamachi. Just fire up Remote Desktop, type in the name of the computer you want to access, and connect.

Option One: Connect to Your Home Network with Hamachi

Hamachi is a simple program that sets up a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, in just a few clicks. When you take your laptop out and about and you connect to your VPN with Hamachi, your computer acts as if its on your home network, which means you can access your other computers hassle-free—no need to forward ports or remember complicated IP addresses. It requires installing a separate program, but it's a program we recommend you have anyway—in fact, you shouldn't be using public wi-fi without it, since it keeps all of your data safe from prying eyes. Here's how to use it in conjunction with Windows Remote Desktop.
Use Your Home Computer from Anywhere: A Comprehensive Guide to Remote Controlling Your PC
  1. Download and set up Hamachi on both your home computer and your remote computer using our how-to.
  2. On the computer you want to access remotely, click the Start menu and search for "allow remote access". Choose the "Allow Remote Access to This Computer" option. You'll get something like the window to the right. You'll want to check one of the bottom two radio buttons, depending on how you'll be accessing the computer. If you're accessing it from another Windows 7 machine, you can use the more secure "Allow connections only from Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication". If you're accessing it from other programs or versions of Windows, choose the "Allow connections from any version of Remote Desktop" option. Click OK when you're done.
  3. On your remote computer, go to the Start button and search for "Remote Desktop". Choose "Remote Desktop Connection", and type in the name of the computer you want to access (like STEVESCOMPUTER or LIVINGROOM—the name you gave it when you installed Windows. (If you're not sure what your computer is named, go to the Start menu, right-click on Computer, and scroll down to "Computer Name".
  4. Click "Connect." Log in with the username and password you use on your home computer to gain access.
That's it! From now on, you should be able to connect to your home computer any time by starting up Hamachi, connecting to your VPN, and repeating steps 2 through 4. Remember that you need Hamachi running on your home computer and the computer you're connecting with, so your best bet is to let it start up with Windows and run in the system tray.

Option Two: Forward the Ports On Your Router

Your second option is to forward the ports on your router so that you directly connect to your home computer from the internet. It takes a bit more initial setup, but you don't need to install any extra software. That said, if you're going to be browsing on public wi-fi, we recommend using Hamachi to secure your browsing anyway, so Option One is your best bet—but if you're going to use Remote Desktop from a friend's house or other secure location, you can use this method if you want.
  1. From your home computer, log into your router's administration page and forward TCP port 3389 to the computer you want to access, as described in this how-to.
  2. Find your home computer's public ip by going to http://whatismyip.org and write down this IP address. Unfortunately, this public IP address could change at any time, leaving you without access. So, we actually recommend you also use a service like DynDNS to create a very simple domain name that you can use to connect your computer and using that instead.
  3. On the computer you want to access remotely, click the Start menu and search for "allow remote access". Choose the "Allow Remote Access to This Computer" option. You'll get something like the window to the right. You'll want to check one of the bottom two radio buttons, depending on how you'll be accessing the computer. If you're accessing it from another Windows 7 machine, you can use the more secure "Allow connections only from Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication". If you're accessing it from other programs or versions of Windows, choose the "Allow connections from any version of Remote Desktop" option. Click OK when you're done.
  4. Once you've left the house, go to the Start button on your remote computer and search for "Remote Desktop". Choose "Remote Desktop Connection", and type in the IP address you found earlier (or your DynDNS name that you set up).
  5. Click "Connect." Log in with the username and password you use on your home computer to gain access.
From now on, you can connect to your home computer just by repeating steps 4 and 5. There are no advantages to this method beyond not having to install Hamachi—they both run at about the same speed and the experience is otherwise identical once you connect.
As you can see, Remote Desktop requires a bit more initial setup than something like TeamViewer (see section 3 of this guide), but it's really worth it for the speed and great Windows integration it brings you. Not only does it match the resolution of your remote computer, so it really feels like you're using that machine—but you can copy and paste text or files just by pressing Ctrl+C as normal in the Remote Access window, then pressing Ctrl+V to paste them onto your current computer. I also recommend you check out the options available in the Remote Desktop Connection program—you can choose how much of your display to show, whether to show high quality graphics, which hard drives to share, share your printer, and lots more.
Its main downsides are that it isn't exactly the prettiest option, and that it doesn't support multiple monitors at all. The resolution thing might also be a downside for some. I like it because it makes it feel more like the computer's in front of me, but it will resize all your windows to fit the new resolution and you'll have to fix them once you get home. I recommend you give both Remote Desktop and TeamViewer a try, because they're almost equally good in my opinion (though they each have their own strengths and weaknesses).

Other Windows to Windows Programs

As I said above, you should definitely try TeamViewer as described in the cross platform section below—it's just as good as Remote Desktop, and if you have multiple monitors, it's going to probably be even better. It'll require a bit more setup (like creating a TeamViewer account and installing some software), but it's worth it. Remote Desktop seems to be a bit more responsive when typing and clicking, though TeamViewer seems much smoother when it comes to moving around windows. Give them both a try and see which one you like better.
Other popular options for Windows include screen sharing clients like UltraVNC, which was one of your favorite remote desktop clients in our Hive Five. TightVNC is also popular (and available on Linux), though UltraVNC is a bit more feature-filled. Both clients let you access your computer from any web browser as well, which is nice, but they're also a bit more complicated than Remote Desktop or TeamViewer. You can check out our how-to for TightVNC here.

If You're Accessing Your Computer Across Platforms: Use TeamViewer

If your home computer and remote computer run different platforms—say, if one's Windows and one's a Mac, or one's a Mac and one's Linux—you can use the awesome, cross-platform TeamViewer. It's pretty simple to set up, and has some very nice features. Here's how it works.
Use Your Home Computer from Anywhere: A Comprehensive Guide to Remote Controlling Your PC
  1. Download and install TeamViewer on both your home computer and remote computer. Start it up and create an account by going to Connection > Set Up Unattended Access. This will make all your computers accessible over the internet with just a quick username and password combination.
  2. Log into your account on your home computer. You should see that it's already been added to TeamViewer's list of machines. Leave TeamViewer running in the background when you leave the house.
  3. Run TeamViewer on your remote machine and log into your account. You should immediately see your home computer in the list. Double-click on it to start a remote session with that machine.
It really is that simple. Sure, it requires creating an account and downloading extra software, but it's pretty worth it. You can share files between machines (though not quite as easily as you can with Windows Remote Desktop), you can view multiple monitors, and configure advanced View settings to make it run as smoothly as possible. Even if you're trying to connect two Windows computers or two Macs, I'd still check out TeamViewer in addition to our platform-specific choices above—it's very good, and might offer you a few advantages over the other options. Note that TeamViewer also has an iPhone and Android app, if you want to connect from your phone, as well as a web client, if you're on a friend's computer and don't want to install any extra software on their machine.

Other Cross Platform Programs

TeamViewer isn't the only cross-platform option, but it is our favorite for its simplicity. LogMeIn is TeamViewer's closest competition, though its biggest strength is its $13 a month Pro version that adds things like drag-and-drop file transfer, file sync, and more. It's only accessible from a web browser and has a slightly more confusing set up, which is why we gave TeamViewer the edge.
If you're connecting from a Windows computer to a Mac, you can use a screen sharing client like TightVNC or UltraVNC to connect to your Mac running the built-in Screen Sharing. Just download one of the clients and use the Hamachi method or the IP address you found in Method Two to connect.

Turn Your Phone into a Universal Media Hub to Play Your Music, Photos, and Videos, Anytime, Anywhere



Turn Your Phone into a Universal Media Hub to Play Your Music, Photos, and Videos, Anytime, AnywhereYour phone is already the center of your digital life—it keeps your in touch with friends and family, it's the camera you keep in your pocket, and it's the music and video player you can pull out for entertainment whenever you're bored. Let's take your phone and all of the media you have on it to the next level. Let's turn that phone into a jukebox full of music, movies, and photos that you can play on almost any TV, stereo system, computer, or other device you may come across, whether you're moving from the living room to your bedroom or your house to a friend's place. The technology is already built into your phone and the gear you have at home; all you need to do is unlock it. Here's how.
Nearly every television, router, smartphone, AV receiver, Blu-ray player, and any other electronic appliance in your home with network capability sold in the past few years supports DLNA orUPnP. We'll explain those in more detail later, but the important thing is that this technology, which is probably already available on some of your devices, gives you the ability to connect anything on a network with media to anything else on the same network that can play it.
We'll walk you through how you can use your iOS or Android device as the media source that you always have in your pocket—full of music, movies, web video, photos, and more—and play that media on any device in any room, without cables, syncing, or a computer in the middle. All you need is an app or two and the right gear. Let's get started.

What You'll Need

There are a few prerequisites to make this work.
  • Turn Your Phone into a Universal Media Hub to Play Your Music, Photos, and Videos, Anytime, Anywhere An iOS or Android smartphone, full of music, movies, or photos (or even web video and streamimg music)
  • A home network that your smartphone can connect to via Wi-Fi
  • A DLNA or UPnP-compatible television, home stereo, Blu-ray player, computer or media center app, Apple TV or set-top box, or any other home electronics appliance that connect to your home network, either wired or via Wi-Fi. Click here to see if your electronics are DLNA compliant, and click here to see if they're UPnP compliant.
  • A DLNA/UPnP-compliant player for your smartphone that can stream your media to your electronics. We chose Twonky for iOS and Android.
Before you get started, keep in mind that this will only work with devices that are connected to your home network. If your TV isn't connected, you'll need something connected to your TV that is—for example, a set-top box, HTPC, or even a DLNA-compliant Blu-ray player. Odds are you have at least one appliance connected to your home theater setup or living room TV that's compatible.
When I set this up myself, I was dismayed to learn that many of my electronics weren't supported. My reciever was too old, my TV wasn't connected to my home network, and the Xbox 360 uses a Microsoft-proprietary version of DLNA that doesn't play well with others. However, if you have an Apple TV, PlayStation 3, anything running XBMC, a relatively new Blu-Ray player or receiver, or almost any other set-top box or network-connected stereo, you're probably already set. Take a look again at the DLNA product search and UPnP product search to see if any of your gear is compatible.

Step One: Install and Set up Twonky Mobile

We chose Twonky Mobile for a couple of reasons. First, it's available to iOS and Android users, uses the same interface, and offers the same features to both types of devices. Apple users have the benefit of AirPlay (which we'll get to a little later) but using Twonky allows you to leverage apps that aren't AirPlay compatible and push to devices that don't support AirPlay. Oh, and did we mention Twonky is completely free?
To get started, grab Twonky Mobile from the iTunes App Storeor the Android App Market. Once installed, fire up the app and let it scan your home network. It'll display the name of the network it's connected to, and then ask you to select a server. Any open media library will be shown here, including any computers on your network with Windows Media Center running, but go ahead and select your phone (listed as "TwonkyServer Mobile") from the list of available media libraries.
The app will then ask you to select a "player," or a compatible device it should use to show your photos and videos or play your music. If you don't see anything in the list yet, that's okay, but if your set-top box, XBMC system, internet-connected TV, or other compatible gear is powered on and connected to your home network, you may already see it.
Turn Your Phone into a Universal Media Hub to Play Your Music, Photos, and Videos, Anytime, Anywhere

Step Two: Choose Your Player

If the player you want to use isn't in the list, it's either not powered on, not currently connected, or it's not DLNA or UPnP compliant. If you don't see your TV in the list, for example, power on your Blu-ray player, receiver, or set-top box and re-scan to see if it shows up and use that instead. When you move to another room, make sure your stereo is connected to your home network and turn it on—if it's DLNA compliant, it'll show up in the list as well. Go ahead and choose the player you want to use.
As you move from room to room, or even go over to a friend's house, you'll need to re-scan for available devices. It's a little annoying, but the only way to make sure they're always in the list is to either keep them on all the time, or power them on before you start up Twonky. Once they're available to select, playing your media is just a tap away.
In my experience, Twonky does a great job of scouring your home network for available players—a job that other tools I tried didn't do quite so well at. I was surprised to see my Apple TV in the list on my Android phone, and my XBMC-enabled HTPC in the list just because the system was on and XBMC was currently running.
Turn Your Phone into a Universal Media Hub to Play Your Music, Photos, and Videos, Anytime, Anywhere

Step Three: Press Play

One of the other reasons we chose Twonky for this is because once you've selected your library and your player, the app then allows you to immediately select what you want to stream from your phone to your player. I sat on the couch in front of my TV and started playing music from my phone on my HTPC without so much as lifting a finger to configure XBMC to allow that to happen. The same was true when I went into the bedroom and turned on my Apple TV—I just told Twonky to select the Apple TV as a player, queued up a couple of songs, and pressed play.
If you don't want to be confined to the media on your phone, Twonky inserts itself into the iOS and Android "share" menus, so if you're viewing a photo in your gallery or camera roll, you can "share" it with Twonky to display it on the big screen, or if you're listening to a podcast you can share it with Twonky to play it on your stereo or through your Blu-ray player to your television.
I had a good experience with Twonky here, but it's definitely not perfect. There were some instances where a video I wanted to play just wouldn't work—specifically streaming from my Android phone to my Apple TV,, and there were time when we wanted to play a single video or view a single photo and Twonky started queuing our entire photo or video library. Even so, most of the issues were fixed by choosing media types that would actually play, and by restarting the Twonky app so we could get a fresh start. Since there's nothing you can do to troubleshoot the player and you're limited to the controls in the Twonky Mobile app on your Android or iOS device, you may feel like you don't have enough control over what the app does. Be patient, and don't be afraid to just turn it off, turn it back on, and try again.

AirPlay and Other Options

If all of your gadget are somehow connected to Apple devices, you may not even need Twonky. AirPlay offers a seamless, integrated method to stream music, video, and just about anything else from your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to any other iOS device, like an Apple TV or an Apple computer. Going the DLNA route however allows you to stream media from apps that don't have AirPlay support to devices that may not be AirPlay compatible. However, if all of your TVs are connected to Apple TVs, and your handhelds are iOS devices, you can accomplish most of this without an additional app. Still, if you're stuck with an app that doesn't support AirPlay and want to share it, you can try this hack we shared a while ago to at least get the audio going.
Turn Your Phone into a Universal Media Hub to Play Your Music, Photos, and Videos, Anytime, AnywhereAndroid users on the other hand have a wealth of alternatives, but not all of them are polished. I tried thepreviously mentioned Skifta, which has a lot more polish (and handled play/pause/queuing songs much more smoothly) and offers some cloud-streaming features that Twonky doesn't, but found that Skifta had more difficulty finding compatible devices on my network than Twonky did, and even though Skifta claims some XBox 360 support (and indeed, shows it as a player in the app,) it doesn't work at all. Skifta also won't support the Apple TV. Still, Skifta worked seamlessly with my Blu-ray player and XBMC devices, and supported more file types than Twonky did, so it's a great alternative if Twonky doesn't work for you, or you're looking for another tool.
There are tons of apps in the Android market that allow you to pull media from other sources on your home network to your Android phone instead of push media from your Android phone to another player, but Twonky and Skifta are some of the few that allow you to do both whenever you choose.

Go Forth and Stream

There are dozens of ways to pull media from your media library on your laptop, or your movie collection on your home computer to your Android or iOS device and enjoy it on the go. We'vediscussed several methods for this in the past. Even so, there's something great about being able to go to a friend's house, talk about a video you saw or a song you heard, and instead of have everyone crowd around your tiny phone screen, just push the video to their TV, or play the song on their stereo for everyone to hear. There's also nothing like being able to walk into my bedroom, turn on my phone, and continue the music I was just listening to in the living room with a couple of taps. The best part of all of this is that the technology is already in your pocket, and probably already in your house—you just have to take advantage of it.

Print your Single Photo into Multiple Pages

Printing your single pic into multiple pages is sometimes good and especially when you want to beautify your house or put up some image of your child on the wall, then rather than putting up one small image, you can put one big image formed using small images.
While printing one image into many pages is possible, it is not that easy as it is with this utility called Print It. Print It is an image printing utility that can print your images into multiple pages in very simple steps. Moreover you get to see the grid lines which will show how your image will be divided into parts on the pages.

How to Use:
• Just load your image in the tool by selecting the Load button.
• Select your Print mode (Image Size prints the image in multiple pages, Fit to page option will fit the image into single sheet, Stretch to page option will fill the page with one image, Pixel to pixel option prints the image in printer resolution).
• You can select to either disable or enable the grid lines (which would not be printed either ways).
• In case you don’t have a printer as of now, select the Save Parts button to save the split images as soft copy and print them later.
The tool is free to use and is supported on all Windows versions. Isn’t it a good idea to impress your girl by putting up a big image of her on your wall printed using Print It? :)

Find Serial Keys of your Installed Software

We have many tools and programs installed in our systems right? Some of them are free while other are paid and have a serial associated with them. This serial key was provided to us by either on email or on the box/manual of the program when we purchased it.
Although we won’t be requiring the serial again but what if you decide to format your system and reinstall these applications? You will lose all these programs and will have to install these again with the license keys that you used before. This is not a problem unless you have all the keys written with you but what if you don’t remember any?

Here is a simple and sweet tool called LicenseCrawler that can search the keys for you of all your installed programs. This tool can provide (apart from all the default program keys like Microsoft, Windows) keys of tools like Nero, VMWare or other third party tools. Using this tool, you can save yourself from the unnecessary burden of searching your user manuals or emails for the product serials.
Moreover this being a freeware is free to use. LicenseCrawler is very simple to use and can be run directly from an external drive like a pen drive. It is supported on all version of Windows and is pretty safe to use too.

View Skype Log Files with Skype Log Viewer

Skype is one of the most favourite applications used by users globally to make or receive calls, chat messages, file transfer and video calls etc. The first thing that I like about it is its ease of use and also the mobile Skype app that enables us to connect from our phone too.
If you have been using Skype for some time now then you must be aware that it produces some log files too in the format .dbb and main.dbb files which can’t be opened in any log viewer. However these log files are sometimes important to us as we can derive the call details from the log files.

Thus here is a utility called SkypeLogView, which is nothing but a Skype Log Viewer, that is especially created to open and view log files created by Skype. Using this utility you can:
• Find the details of the incoming or outgoing calls from your Skype account
• Find details of the chat messages
• Find out the files transferred
• Also, can convert and export the log files into other formats like HTML, txt, csv etc
The tool is compatible on all versions of Windows and moreover doesn’t require any installation. Just run the executable file, and it will automatically detect the last used Skype account. Even if you don’t have Skype installed, it can still analyse the log files provided you have them with you.
