Battery Losing Power After One Day in Europe

So I'm on a study abroad trip to Prague. Before leaving, my laptop had it's original battery life of a little over 3 hours with the screen mostly dimmed. Ever since I've had it plugged in, my computer fan has been really loud despite being asleep for at least 8 hours two days in a row and not running any programs other than firefox and the skype buddy list (not even a call) and when I unplugged my laptop the battery life had dropped to 2 hours and 17 minutes with the screen mostly dimmed. I'm curious, has this happened to anyone else? Does this mean that the European electrical current has ruined my battery and I have to buy a new one when I get back to the states?
Thanks!

I've just been going through this here in the States. My machine was running hot and the fan seemed to be on all the time and my battery was draining excessively. So when I called yesterday I was told:
1. take the battery out
2. wait 30 seconds
3. hold down the power button for about ten seconds with the battery out (the machine will not power on, but this will reset your hardware)
4. put the battery back in
5. re-power the machine
Your laptop should run quieter and the battery should last longer. Mine seems to be doing so.
Cheers.

Creative ZEN died....after ONE day of use

Okay, so I got this thing as a present for my birthday yesterday, I was really happy, it being my first mp3 and all. Well, I took EXTREMELY good care of this. But then, before I go to bed, I decided to add one more picture onto it. So, I plugged it into my USB port, as usual, but then the unthinkable happens. It shows the battery charge at the top right corner of the screen for a split second, then there's a small flash, then it died. I can no longer turn it on. AFTER ONE DAY OF USE!!! Thing is, I didn't even use it that much. PLEASE HELP!!! There's no way for me to get another one,. please, how can I make it turn on again!

Don't panic Get out the instruction booklet & a paperclip. If you can't find it download the Quick Start Guide? http://support.creative.com/manuals/? here & open it. Look at the diagram & find where the RESET hole is & push the paperclip in there tp reset the player. It should turn on. BTW Happy Birthday

UK: MSI H55-S01 died after one day

I'm based in the UK, and I recently purchased an MSI H55-S01 from a eBay seller in the states. The product appears to be brand new, but died after one day.
(No, I didn't increase the voltage, spill my drink, handle it without static protection, etc.)
I've tried all the obvious fixes, such as CMOS resetting, and different cases, CPUs and RAM, and basically the board just doesn't power on at all.
The MSI UK support site says I should send it back to the seller for RMA, but the seller is 3500 miles away and I'd have to pay import tax (again).
Can this be dealt with in a more practical manner by MSI UK? How do I get hold of MSI UK without phoning a premium rate number?

I don't think so, no. How would I go about attempting to fix this myself? Any ideas?
Honestly not sure what to advise since you seem to be knowledgeable as to troubleshooting procedure. RAM can always be a problem. Recommend to do all the testing with just one stick in the primary DIMM slot. Try each stick individually. Since you have tested a lot of the components in another system, I have no idea how to proceed to start and find what's faulty on the mainboard itself.

Mozilla or firefox quits 10.3 after one day of installation

I tried to install mozilla on my ibook 10.3.9 and after one day it starts quiting. I deleted the fist one and it still quits.
I did permission repair, macgenitor and removed all the files by locating them with the command apple F before reinstalling.
thank you.
both: imac and ibook Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Which version of FireFox? If it's not 1.5.0.6 then download and install that version.
Close down FireFox and search your hard drive for the following and then delete and empty the trash:
- org.mozilla.firefox.plist
- Firefox (only the one in Caches! Only delete the ones in Application Support and Applications if you want to reinstall FireFox again)
Restart Firefox. Does it still crash? If so when? Do you get any error message? Can you surf in Firefox at all? Is it just certain sites that it crashes on? If so then post a URL we can test. Do other browsers (eg. Safari) work OK? Are you having problems with any other applications? Have you installed any extensions in FireFox? If so then update them and deinstall those that appear to be incompatible. Deinstall all of them if you still have problems.
There should be a crash log somewhere: open the Console application and press the Logs button. Look under ~/Library/CrashReporter and/or /Library/CrashReporter. The data will probably not be understandable, but there's a chance that something is immediately obvious - maybe a 'file missing' or similar? You can post the contents here if you don't understand anything.
It occurs to me that it might be a Java problem - especially if only certain sites appear to be affected. And you have problems with other applications. I seem to be OK, but others apparently have had a problem with a Java update, see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301380

Hi,
Check whether program RBDMIDOC is scheduled only once? If it is running only once then you this will happen.
And also schedule the job to execute only after your upload process is over.

Adobe Trial Software expires after one day if launched in June 2008

A large majority of Adobe Trial Software Packages, including After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Illustrator, contain a time-out bug which will affect people who launch the trial for the first time in June 2008. Users who launch a trial application for the first time in June 2008 will be given only one day, rather than 30 days, to trial the software.
When you open the trial version of an Adobe program, you are warned that the trial will expire after one day. When you open the trial after that day, the trial has expired.
If you decide to purchase the product in June, instead of having 30 days to activate your product, you only have one day to activate.
Users who first launched their trial before June 2008 are not affected.
Adobe have released a Trial Repair Tool, which will grant 65 days of trial use for users who have launched in June 2008. Download the Repair Tool here:
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/all/mac/TrialRepairTool.dmg
Please read the Adobe Technote for complete details and instructions on use of the Trial Repair Tool.

No. Get used to it. It's called progress. No offense, but generally I get the impression that you are looking for something that nobody realyl will be able to help you with. If your whole workflow is based on outdated trial versions (and that includes your old AutoCAD), it begins to smell like you have done that for a while now and only now it doesn't work and then we are quickly approaching the sign that says "Piracy town, next crossing left". Either that, ore you are stuck with a 10 year old computer, in which case you will have to straighten out that first.

Safari 6: Remove History Items After One Day does nothing?

I don't like getting autocompletes from a million past sites, so I clear my history every so often. I prefer to do it manually, but Safari 6 deletes all the favicons--not just of the history but of your bookmarks too! Permanently. So I thought I'd try automatic history clearing instead: After One Day.
But three days later, the History menu still shows the full histories for the past 3 days.
Yet another bug I guess? Is this universal behavior?
I'm on Lion at the moment.

HI Reuben,
Might be corrupted Safari preference files... try this.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Quit Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
• Downloads.plist
• History.plist
• LastSession.plist
 Repair disk permissions...  
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.  Restart Safari

Stops recieving emails after one day on 5800

Hi have been currently using the Messaging and find it really a great program but after one day my the program will not download any new email via send and receive.
In the connection info there is specified that the last sync is successful but no emails are received.
If from the settings I choose to reset the data I start receiving new emails for about a day or so and the same thing happens again.
I am subscribed to a gmail and yahoo account.
Does anyone has the same problem?
regards
Rodrick

Nokia messaging that you install manually?
I have a similar problem, sometimes messages sit in the outbox even though it is connected. I send/receive, exit the app, reboot the phone, but they won't send. I've had to reinstall it a few times because it keeps happening.
Generally it's a good app, but what i really would prefer (and i'm disappointed it doesn't seem to be in the new firmware update) is HTML support in the built-in client.

Remove after one day

Hello,
I have gmail and pop accounts.
Is it possible that mail from trash will be automatically deleted from Trash?
There is an option "Deleted Messages Remove after one day" but it does not work.
Can you help me ? What is wrong?
Regards, Tom

This doesn't work for your Gmail account only or it doesn't work for all accounts?
I believe this removal is based on a 24 hour period of time so none of the messages marked for deletion the day before at anytime during the day are not automatically purged from the account's Trash mailbox the following day? You have messages marked for deletion two days ago that have not been purged?
If so, try deleting and manually recreating these accounts on the iPhone to see if this makes any difference.

My bill after 9 days in Europe!!!!!

Ok, I just checked my bill after spending 9 days in Europe and it was a whopping $210!!! That's it!! That's nothing, considering I sent practically a million text messages while over there. And guess what, the data charges were less than a dollar. How'd I do it?
1. I didn't open any widgets.
2. I didn't open email, except when I accidentally hit the email button when I arrived before disabling the email account, which I promptly did. It downloaded two email headers, which accounts for a part of the tiny data charge.
3. I didn't open Maps.
4. I didn't open Safari.
5. I didn't open YouTube.
I also made a couple of calls and sent a billion (well not really, but a lot of) text messages.
I was on the go so much I only emailed two people from the hotel once. So, if you go overseas and you don't want huge data charges, follow my lead. Believe it or not, it was not that difficult at all to live without email/internet for several days.
Just wanted to put this out there as someone has been claiming that widgets update automatically without being launched. Obviously, my little case study proves otherwise.
Peace.

Here is the information on that store:

I do not believe that any store publishes an email address; I'd call or visit them.

Messages dissappear after one day in trash when set never to erase

When deleting messages to Trash, these messages are gone after 1-day. I have checked the setting to never delete Trash, yet they are gone. Why?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Tecra A3 battery stops charging after one or two seconds

Hello
I've been using the computer without the battery for a long time. Now, when I try to use the battery it is completely discharged (it says 0% º capacity).
It starts charging when plugged but after one or two seconds it stops so it keeps 0% capacity.
Any ideas of what can the problem be?
Thank you

Hi
Are you 100% sure that the battery stops charging?
How did you check it? What is the status of battery LED?
If you plug the battery the notebook must be off.
Furthermore the charging procedure takes several hours if the battery is empty.
I think you have to connect the AC to the notebook and wait several time.
But if the battery will not charge so either the battery is dead or the notebook electronic malfunctions.

Trial Ended After One Day...

Hello,
I just signed up for the 30 day creative cloud trial yesteday at approximately 2 p.m. Eastern time. When I logging into my computer this morning I was notified there were five Adobe applications requiring updates which I said yes to. After the updates ran I attempted to open CS6 and was notified the trial had ended!!
One day? And not even a full 24 hours?
What gives??
Thank you,
Vito

Hi Vito,
I'm sorry to hear that. I had a few questions for you.
Was this on Windows or Mac computer?
Which applications from Creative Cloud had you installed?
Do you happen to know what products the 5 updates were for?
What anti-virus software to you use on the computer?
Had you used any other Adobe trials on the computer previously prior to Creative Cloud?
Unfortunately we don't have a way to reset the trial once something like this has occurred but I would be interested in understanding why in order to try to recreate and report it and hopefully prevent it from happening to others. As a workaround you might be able to do a trial with a different Adobe ID on a different computer if that's an option.
Thanks,
-Dave

Deleted messages remove after one day (one week, one month) not working

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to iOS 7 automatic email cleanup does not seem to be working?
I have an IMAP email account set up with the following setting: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, [then tap the email account in question] > Account > Advanced > Deleted Messages Remove > After one week
I have had that configuration on my iPhone and iPad for a very long time, and it always deleted everything out of my deleted messages folder (which, on my system, is called Trash) that was older than one week. It would do this no matter when the message was actually deleted, and no matter whether I deleted it on my iPhone, my iPad, on a computer using Outlook, or through a web interface. (It actually would have been nice to retain a message I had just deleted for the one-week period in case I changed my mind; instead the way it worked was if I deleted a message that was received months ago, it would be removed from Trash almost right away. But it worked consistently.)
Now, since iOS 7, it does not appear to be cleaning out that folder at all. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm not sure if it's not removing any messages, or if it's just not removing messages I delete on another platform (like Outlook). So today I've done a test with a specific message that I will watch over the next little while to see how it works. But in the meantime I thought I'd ask if anyone else has noticed this, and if there is a solution.

Really nobody?
Is this working properly for people? It's not working for me on either my IMAP account or on an iCloud email accout, so I think iOS 7 broke something here. I've submitted a bug report on the feedback form, but it would be nice to know I'm not alone.
