My old Samsung galaxy s2 is finally dying.

I'm no longer prepared to sign up to extortionate two year contacts so I'm wanting to buy a handset outright to use with my sim only contact.

Anything to stop me buying a Moto G? Seems like by far the best value for money out there.

I got one based on the same logic and think it's absolutely fine.

i-tunes hasn't updated properly, tried a few time,s uninstalled, etc, nothing. Wanted to do system restore, only point is a week ago (hard drive is crammed, i-tunes has been goosed for much longer. I really need to fix it now as my i-pod really needs a change up.

Do I want to be putting all my photos, films and tunes on my external hard drive and doing some kind of complete system restore?

Laptop almost 4 years old but I only use it for pissing about online, watching series/movies and dowloading music and it still works for that.

I wouldn't go to the effort of a re-install simply off the back of iTunes not working, although if it hasn't been done in 4 years and you know what you are doing it could be a good idea. Backing up any files that you value to an external source is always a good idea, regardless of the situation so I would definitely do that.

If you aren't keen on doing a full re-install then my starting point would probably be to uninstall any programmes you no longer use, including iTunes and then run a disk cleanup and defrag. This should help free up some space on your hard drive. I'd also go through and delete any pictures/music/videos you no longer want. Once you've done this I'd then try and download the latest version of iTunes. If this doesn't work take a note or screenshot the error message that you are getting and do a Google search. More often than not you'll find a fix that way.

Can anyone recommend a decent sound equaliser for listening to music on an Android phone?

I used to use this but for the last few weeks it's been playing up, turning itself on and off at random leading to massive volume jumps. I've since switched back to the default Beats audio built into the HTC One but it's a bit pish in comparison.

Went to Boots yesterday to print off some photos from Galaxy S5 which is 3 months old. They have done away with Kodak terminals and now have touchscreens and leads to connect to phone. I have only taken12 photos but the machine somehow found over 300 images....stuff that I've looked at and other stuff I've no idea about.

So, should I be taking steps to delete all the crap leaving the photos I have taken and how would I go about it?

A lot of web pages have started appearing in HTML/plain text only on Chrome on my laptop. Usually reloading sorts it out, but not always. I have javascript enabled and Chrome is up to date. No problem on IE. I've tried deleting cookies etc and switched it on and off. Any ideas?

Clear the browser cache on your phone and it should sort it out.

Use Firefox.

This is one of those faults where there is a number of things that could cause this. Firstly, if you havent already, try dissabling all addons and see how you go, if everything works fine, re-enable your addons 1 at a time to see what one is playing up.

Oh, and yeah, +1 for Firefox :)

Cheers. In Chrome terms are addons the same as extensions?

Going to Mexico next month and would like to have access to SkyGo and BT sport and BBC etc on Google Nexus 7 tablet. Tried online search but conflicting advice has me confused. Any advice would be appreciated...

Use a UK based proxy server when abroad to view UK only content.
