I was just checking that the original problem, of your Inbox being different, has been sorted.
and we are now working on the random, crazy mouse or keyboard issue.

Dear friends, sorry I didn’t say “good night” but I was unusually tired last night and fell asleep on the computer chair lol! Today I must leave for most of the day and from Sunday on I’ll continue to try all the good instructions you both were so kind to take the time to give me.
I’ll be working mainly on the photos without which you can’t help. Each time I open the photo icon it takes me to all the photos I don’t want now, and there’s no way to get to the ones I took of my computer to send you because Google has taken an iron-like attitude that I MUST do what IT wants me to do with my photos.
I just tried to disable the storage where I remember someone had told me she did and worked but…when I did it I was successful until the last step where the evil Google imprisoned me with the link: “TO CONTINUE, ALLOW ACCESS”. So…the joke was on me since I can’t use my own photos, indeed my own phone, because @y%r& Google likes to play with us at their own kind of a tag of war. I’m very furious and glad that for today I won’t have to see Googles name.
I THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH for your great help but I hesitate to ask you to continue giving so generously your time and knowledge, especially since I started with only 1 problem and it now became 2…and with “photos” became 3 and it’ll probably happen again that each time I need to make a move, there’s an obstacle and it becomes another project.
I wish you and yours an enjoyable weekend! AdelaComment

P.S. Actually the intransigent Google’s message is more complete:
“To continue, give Google Photos access to your photos - ALLOW ACCESS”Comment

Easy fix for the photos
Are you using Google Photos to view the pictures on your phone?
Open it then select the photos that you want to use
On the bottom slide left or right and select Backup
Once completed open google.com in a browser on the computer
Log into the same google account that is used on your phone.
Once signed in click the 9 dots and select Photo.
Unless you are in the wrong account the pictures will be there.
Any issues or error message need to be poste here.Comment

First of all apologize for the long lapse in not coming to the site to answer your greazt help as I’m having some emergencies. I still do but I can take little escapades lol!.
To Peter: Thanks for explaining what that hole looked like. Also, I didnt’ have a chance yet to try the laptop without using my own keyboard and mouse, but will as soon as I can and will report to you.Comment

Peter, been also trying to get away from Google Photos. I know there is a way which I saw in the net, but couldn’t follow it. Not intelligent enoughh to do these things. I want to manage my own photos myself without Google. But I get stuk by G. where it doesn’t let me get my own photos. I see another member is helping me with this matter and I’ll read it and follow it later in the day.Comment

Please forgive my sending so many posts, the first 2 are for Peter, but I can’t find the post by Ricky, I believe his name is? who gave me steps to get my photos in my Android. Would anyone know where else to look for it? I looked in all categories of my computer and don’t see it. Was it, maybe, deleted??? If so, why? Thanks in advance for any clues.Comment

Hello Rustys and thanks for copying your message for my convenience, but I came to your original post to see it all. My problem with the Android photos is I don’t like to have Google handle them, so I tried suggestions in internet and it went well (I think) until…it got stuck on a page saying something like: “If you want the photos click on Goggle Photos” and wouldn’t let me go anywhere. Another time it changed to say: “If you want the photos click on Google Settings” or something. That was the few past days, now I wanted to try it once more to show you…but on clicking the Photos icon it shows the icon alone in the middle on a white page. Tapping on it didn’t show a thing. I also noticed it took many tappings for the photos icon or camera to open and it’s ALL black with nothing on. I think there’s something wrong with my phone.
Also thank you for all the right steps to put my photos into google. But, is there a way for me to manage my photos without Google? I’ll have to take my phone to Target to see if there’s something broken. I think I might’ve dropped it from my chair to the floor, although short distance it might’ve caused all those strange issues?
Thanks again for your good help. I’ll keep your instructions in case there’s no way i work photos without google. May I contact you again after my phone is fixed, if it needs fixing?
Code:my independent photos. I get stuck on a page where google says

Hi again Rustys, just a note that I restarted the Android and it seems to have fixed those little things., I tried to open the Photos icon and this time it shows me the pics (that I want to upload here) but instantly changes to:
“To continue, give Google Photos access to your photos. GO TO SETTINGS”
I clicked on GO TO SETTINGS and under “App Info”, it says “Photos Installed” and a “DISABLE” link. Clicked on “Storage” and clicked on “clear the cache” but i don’t see any “ok” or something.
Rustys, is this what may allow me manage my photos without Google Photos?Comment
