A question about : New folder creation problem

I have told My son-in-law, he has too many apps on home pages and to create folders to gather them up into categories, ie travel,newspapers etc. he says he has jelly bean on his galaxy tab. I've told him to create a new folder and label it, which he has done, but when he attempts to drag an icon to the new folder, they skate round one another and don't allow dropping.

Me thinks he has either created the new folder incorrectly, or it ain't jelly bean. With that in mind, we tried the ice cream route, with no success.

A question about : Digital camera recommendation

Indoor and outdoor photos, perhaps something that is good at shooting fast moving objects like dogs and kids!

Any recommendations?? Anything to avoid?

A question about : Start Up Order and Timings

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.

I recall that some time last year I ran a utility which showed me a log of all the programs etc. that loaded during startup with details of how long each one took to load and, I think, the resources they needed.

For the life of me I can't remember whether this was some utility I downloaded or whether it was something available from within windows via the command line. Can anyone help please?

A question about : "Reclaiming" data from google

My android phone died/broke/smashed during the week - So I replaced it - but my data is irretrievable (the screen is unreadable) - If I log in on-line to the google account - is the data going to be there or is the google account only a backup for transfer to other android devices ?
I am mainly after my contact list...
The added problem is that I don't remember my google login for that device at the moment...

Just moved into a 4 bed semi in a quiet village, back garden has gardens either side (attached house have a big dog) and back fence backs onto thick connifers. There have been a couple of break ins recenlty on the estate and we want to get an alarm just in case. We have a budget of Ј500(ish) so can you please recommend what to get?
We have a small dog (king charles spaniel, 12Kg) so ideally it needs to be pet friendly.
