Few more questions (sorry I'm 22 and new)

Let me just say you guys are amazing, this entire community and how you support eachother... Ive strolled through just about every post in rebuilding section for the most recent 20 pages and must say, everyone here is absolutely glorious. However I have a few questions about my own personal roadmap if anyone could provide insight Im not a complete noob but so far Ive just been reading, taken no action. I have a CO account with CITI, should be paid in full today or tommorow or whenever the check clears. CA was working I assume on behalf of CITI because both checks were made for full amount to OC and balance was the balance, not 0. I had perfect payment for 2.5 years, the was delinquent for 8 months, paid in full 4.1k in two installments. When is it not greedy to ask them for some love and peace and kindness with a GW letter? I have valid reason as to why I stopped (2 car accidents april, july) and why I paid them back (accident settlement)How likely are they to help me out? I can provide them anything their heart desires with regards to documentation - medical, college related, police reports, absolutely anything. I was making maybe $300 a month during that time and literally borrowed $33 from my neighbor to buy gas. Paying them seemed so huge at the time I just closed my eyes.I also have a natural gas account on my report that is negative in this manner: JUL-OK__AUG-OK__SEPT-ND__OCT-120Is this possible to be real? 120 is 4 monthsIf I still dont believe you, who do I call first, gas company or experian?If I call gas company, do I say youre wrong give me statements or do I nicely ask them to change it off the bat without disputingIf they give me statements and they are in fact wrong, do I call back or write a letter? Certified or no? Do I send said statements to bureaus? When? Finally, was it a mistake to take out and pay off a Discover student loan in two years? It was for 4k and I applied again and was denied.. Did they not make enough to bother with me? I sent them a recon letter, saying Im loyal please love me. Hope to hear back because loved them much more than Sallie. Any insight as to where I should have sent such letter (email)? I sent it to application status questions on their site.. Thoughts/suggestions?

yes i would start with the gw letters now. explain about the accidents and let them know that you were perfect till that point. in my experience sometimes one gw letter will do it and others you send once a month. As far as the gas company goes, yes I would call them and ask to see the statements if you dont have any. If they are indeed wrong I would ask them to correct it. Do you still have service with them? If you do then I would think that they would be wrong otherwise i'm sure that they would not still be providing this service. If not yes I would dispute it with the cb.I know nothing about Discover student loans so I will let someone else get to that one. Overall it is nice to have one installment loan going on. When you paid it off you probably had a small drop in your fico score.

A few more questions regarding creation of recovery discs

HP Pavilon 17 Notebook 17-e040us
Wireless connection
In the creating covery discs information that I downloaded from HP's website, it states"if you are prompted for an Administrator password, type the password or providide confirmation.
How do I create an adminstrator password? The only areas where I have created passwords on the laptop are the Login Screen/Signing In to PC, Mirosoft Account and Computers Description. How do I provide confirmation?
Disconnecting from the internet. After the login screen and go to the start menu I'm not connected to the internet. Correct?
Do I have to disconnect exterior equipment from the laptop before creating recovery discs?
During the creating process, if it should stop or ,get a message something is wrong, what do I do?
Thank you.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You aren't likely to be asked for Admin password unless you are using a User account created with Limited permissions-such as one would set up for another user on their machine.Some people share a machine with kids,teens and setup a Limited account for them.
I have never really worried about disconnecting from Internet -just don't have Internet Explorer or Email app open and active on internet.You could always turn off the Wireless I guess. Usually the F12 key in top row turns wieless off/on by tapping. White light=On.
If you run into a problem...just post that problem if the Recovery Manager doesn't give details of what you need to do to correct it. You can always phone HP and request Recovery Media if the process fails for you.
Just try to stop worrying and over-thinking it.Go for it!

A few more questions about batteries

Hi folks, new here.
1. According to www.apple.com/batteries, we don't have to worry about this Nickel-based batteries stuff when charging (cause iPods are Lithium-based). If so, do I really need to charge for 4 hours the first time? Why?
2. I've had to reboot my computer the first time Shuffle was charging, meaning the charge has been interrupted a few times. Does this affect my battery life?
3. After 2 hours of first charge, the front light turned green. One minute later, I've had to reboot again. After that, the front light turned back to solid amber, only turning green again 1.5 hour later. Can someone please explain that?
Very happy with my Shuffle. And congratulations for the quality of the forum.
Thanks.

Leo,
I am not really sure about first-time charge. Mine was interrupt when charged at the first time too, and nothing seems wrong up to date.
Lithium-ion batteries can be charged at anytime, on any duration. It does not matter if you charge it only 5 minutes, then use it for some hours, and charge again. You can safely reboot your computer while charging.
When you plug-in iPod again (ie. reboot your computer) after it was fully charged, it is normal that it would continue to charge for an hour or so even it's just been fully charged. See a chart in www.apple.com/batteries. It tells you that it takes long time to fully charge the battery when the battery itself is almost full already.
Hope this help.

A few general questions relating to H55-GD65 and core i5 750 Lynnfield

I finally made the jump from AMD to intel, and DDR3 ram, been reading the forums for around 3hours, been a member for 2hrs. Been building systems since Redhat 9.0 came out, so Don't expect any thing as funny as Quote
because I want to know the temperature of the IOH without the heatsink.
Would it be better to run 2gig X 4 = 8gigs of RAM, or 4gigs X4 = 16 gigs?
Concerning dual channel mode, must I buy them in matched sets, or can I buy one stick at a time, obviously buying the same exact kind each time?
To run DDR3 1600mhz on this board will I need to set the voltage/timings manually, or will it auto detect?
From what I've read the pcie controller is on die, and with the i5's you can only run 1@ X16 or dual X8, am I correct?
If I get a pcie x8 sas raid controller card, will it affect graphics performance?
Also this will be my first attempt at dual booting sata hard drives.
Would it be difficult to have win7 x64 on the mobo's onboard sata, and linux (either Mandriva, Open Suse, or gentoo if my insomnia is still acting up)
on the sas card?
Edit: Almost forgot, has any one else had issues with the onboard NIC dropping connection? It never happens when It is in use, only when i walk away from it, as an example Wow's latest 4gig patch had 900megs to go on a 1.1megabyte connection, upon going to sleep and locking the computer windows key-L, woke up with it having 500megs remaining and as soon as i opened my browser my connection picked right back up

Its better to use 2x4GB, to lessen the strain on the memorycontroller and yes, you'll have to set it to 1600MHz yourself most of the time.
The memorycontroller is rated for 1066/1333MHz, so anything beyond is considered overclocking and thus the controller will not set those higher timings automatically.
Do you really need 8GB? For office, internet and gaming, normal homeusage, 4GB is more then enough, 8GB is nice if you render a lot or if you use cad/cam and photoshop stuff

Yes it runs @x8 when running 2 vga's, or in your case if you use a PCIe x8 card, but the impact is none, even the GTX480 and the HD5970 are not capped when @x8, so no worries there.

I have had dual and even triple boot since XP and never had any issues, be sure to write the different os to different hd's or partitions. About Linux on a sascard, no idea, Im not familiar with that.

Check your windows powersavings settings, maybe it turns it off when in standby/sleep mode.
If you cant find anything there check bios, to make sure onboard NIC is always on, although I believe you must find such a setting in windows.

A few more questions on upgrading OS

Well, I'm trying to be proactive before I try to upgrade my current mini from tiger to snow leopard os.
So far, I've
purchased the box set
purchased the external hard drive
downloaded carbon copy app
learned how to do a back up and reboot and run from it to ensure it's all there before installing new os
What I don't know is:
What do I do after Snow Leopard is on the mini, but all my old data is on the external hard drive?
I want to go into this whole process with my eyes wide open!
Thanks!

Marcelo,
I assumed I'd be backing up my entire hard drive - in other words everything. The only external things I have would probably be downloaded games. Other than that it's Office, iphoto, iweb, itunes that came on the computer when I bought it in 96.
Just wondering how I get my old iphoto library into the new iphoto library, is it just a click and drag? or after installing new os will it prompt me for this kind of data transfer?
I assumed I'd be emptying the hard drive after the install. Hadn't planned on continually pulling from it.

Schultz...just a few more questions while i am here..

How does one obtain a startup disc/recovery disc..I did not make one when I first purchased my laptop...Live and learn huh? thanks again...schultz

You have to create a set of recovery disks from the hidden recovery partition by using the Recovery Disk Creator. Go to "Start - All Programs - Toshiba - Recovery - Recovery Disk Creator". Information on using the Hard Drive Based Recovery Process and creating the disks normally begins on or about page 58 to 60 of your User's Guide. The User's Guide is found on your hard drive in Adobe Acrobat Format and can be downloaded from the Product Support Link at the top of this page.
If you didn't make them and can not do so now you'll need to purchase a replacement set as per this post.
http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/Recovery-media/td-p/9148
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

JUST A FEW MORE QUESTIONS...

What does In/out of holster mean!?
and why is sometimes, my screen lovely and bright, but normally dull!?!?!? then randomly it will go very bright!
Please help!
Thanks

When you purchased your BB, it should have come with a leather type holster, in which there is a magnet that will shut down the screen of the BB when it is inserted in the holster, to cause a Standby condition of the BlackBerry.
So, you can set thet Profile settings of your BB to act different IN holster and OUT of holster. Say, IN your holster on your hip, you might want VERY LOUD volume ringtone settings, and OUT of the holster when sitting on your desk, you might set quieter volume for the ringtones.

Compatibility questions re: OS X Server and new ATA serial HD

The good news: We just got a 500 GB ATA serial HD with some end of year money just as we were running out of space on our 250 GB drive.
The bad news: We have an Xserve G5 running OS X Server 10.3.7 and the hard drive says we need to be running OS X Server 10.4.7 or later.
I checked the Apple Store to see if they had any ATA drives compatible with our version of the OS X software but the only 500 GB serial ATA I found was no longer available. Looking at the 750 GB ATA I can't find any specs as to software compatibility.
Suggestions? I really don't want to spend $1000 to upgrade to OS X 10.4 right now.
Thanks in advance for the input.
Xserve G5, OS X Server 10.3.7 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

Hi PrintTech-
I think the hardware will be fine. You may want to search this forum as I seem to remember this question coming up before and it turned out that all was well.
Assuming that this is an Apple-branded drive in an Apple sled hardware-wise you should be fine.

Don't see my post - how long does it take? question on non-wireless printer and new fios network

have a canon ip5000 - not wireless printer. We just installed our fios network with 2 mac laptops and an imac desktop. We also had been using an airport extreme and airport express (as an extender) with our cox cable modem.
we cannot seem to hook up the canon to the network. We ended up plugging the printer into the airport extreme and the airport extreme into the router. However, the airport extreme now appears as a separate network on the - you can see it in the list of networks at the top of the screen. so you have to toggle between our network for fios -- and then the the network for the airport extreme in order to print.
There's got to be a way to connect up the printer to the fios router?
logging into fios router - you can see the print server is on the list -- however it says inactive -- and never changes status.
sorry if this is a duplicate to my previous post - I'm new here and not sure how long it takes tfor these messages to appear

Actually ... go into the Airport and turn on "bridge mode". Then go into the FiOS router and turn off the wireless. Connect the WAN port on Airport to one of the open ports on the FiOS router. This will allow you to continue to use your Airport as the wireless access point, and continue to have your printer attached like you have had.
It may be necessary to change the IP address of the Airport in this configuration (think bridge mode will suggest one for you -- but essentially and address somewhere on the 192.168.1.x that's not used -- I suggest 192.168.1.254).

Question about udev,hal, hotplug and new Xorg 1.8

From what I understand the hal .fdi files now are ignored since the last upgrade of Xorg to version 1.8. Before that, I used to modify .fdi files and then restarting hal to get the modifications to work. I did this to configure my joystick and synaptics for example.
How I'm supposed to do that now with this new system? I've been trying with hal and the fdi files, but are totally ignored (as expected) and making changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-name-here.conf works but I have to restart X.
According to this the configuration for input devices should be done by .conf files on xorg.conf.d/ or udev rules.
The Xorg input hotplugging from the wiki is kind of outdated too because it's all about the deprecated hal so I don't understand how I'm supposed to configure and work with the hotplugging...
I hope someone can make this a little bit clear :) (or tell me that I'm really lost)

Not what I'm looking for really, because if I change the Xkblayout for example (or if I create a new file), the change only works after restarting X. My joystick for example, doesn't work and create a new inputclass only works after restarting it.
I know that I can change the keyboard layout some other way while using it using setxkbmap, but still, I'd like to know how it is supposed to use the "hot" plug.

A few more Solaris questions

I'm sure this isn't the best place to post this, but I currently have a file server running Solaris 11 with a raid-z2 pool and I'm building a new vmware server out of some parts I've managed to get some good deals on might I add.
I'm building on a supermicro x8dt3-f board that has an LSI controller on board with a pair of xeon 5570's and 48gb ram. The processors and ram actually came from a sun blade that was tossed out for recycling, sadly the box had never been opened, but i got these for pennies on the dollar, so i'm happy
I'd like to move the current Solaris file server into a VM on the new ESXi 5.1 host and passthrough the LSI controller.
I've been reading, and reading and reading and i find the more i read, the more questions I have and the less clear some of the answers are getting.
First, from what I gather, Solaris 11 has only been added to the supported guest list in ESXi with the recent esxi 5.1 version as I understand? So all should be fine here? Can someone confirm?
second, i've read about issues with LSI controllers under solaris 11. Is this something that has been addressed in 11.1?
Third, trying to find the best method to conver the physical system to virtual under ESXi
The first thing I plan on doing is backing up my data from the pool, though it will be scattered across a few systems. Then I plan on exporting the pool to move the disks physically to the new controller in the VM. The question I have here, is will the share flags and permissions be retained when I import the pool? or do I have to redo all that?
But then, what's the best method to move it to a VM? The one document I see come up the most is moving a physical solaris system into a zone on another system. Can it be transferred to the global zone? Could I do a new install in a VM, and move the existing install to the global zone, import my pool and call it a daY?
Or do I dd the OS disk, convert the image and drop it into vmware, get the hardware working, and then import the pool?
Or is there a better way? Has anyone got any online docs in mind that may help specifically with this migration? everything i'm finding is scattered, maybe i'm not looking for the right things but I could use some pointers if anyone has suggestions.
I suppose I should note, i have it integrated with an Active directory, this is why i'm worried about permissions being retained when i import the pool
I just want this to go as quickly and smoothly as possible, with as little headache as possible. it's my home setup, so realistically it takes the time it takes as long as things go smooth

I know this may not be the answer you are looking for, but I think you are making it more difficult than it needs to be.
One other option is to leave your Solaris Storage server on the bare metal of this new beast of a machine you are piecing together. Then, use VirtualBox 4.2.6 which is support quite well in Solaris to run whatever virtual machines you where intending ESXi to be used for.
This way you have the fastest possible storage setup without the issues of hardware passthrough. And the fast storage now benefits the VMs running on it. Not to mention the other neat options now of running lzjb compression for the VMs. either using zvols for the VMs, or just virtualbox vdi files sitting on a compressed zfs filesystem.
As far as the LSI 1068E controller goes, their website only shows drivers for Solaris 10. So unless Solaris 11 has the drivers built in, you may not be able to use that controller. Believe me I feel your pain in this one.. I have the d#$$!est time finding good SAS HBAs for Solaris 11.1 and the few I did find had questionable drivers. Areca 1320 cards seem to work well, as do Adaptec 64xx and 68xx raid cards. LSI has a new line that supposedly works with Solaris 11.
My advice is to try a baremetal install of Solaris 11.1 on the new machine and see if you can recognize drives on the LSI controller, if not then use the 6 onboard SATA ports if that is enough for the drives. Otherwise purchase an Areca 1320 which is only like 230 bucks for the 8 port version. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816151116R

I started making a movie and all was well. I added a few more pictures and some sound and played it back. It plays so far and then the pictures break up into colors and then the screen turns green. The sound continues.

I am making a movie from still pictures. I used no theme and then started adding pictues. When I played it back, all was well. Then I added a few more pictures and some sound. When I play iot back it plays just so far and then the sound continues, but the screen turns green or the pictures break up into colors.

Sorry, everyone. I think I may have figured out what it was all down to...........
I had left the IDE ribbon cable plugged into my third HDD, with the power cable unplugged. I did this so as not to endanger my years of work on the third drive, until Windows had setup. I have in the past, accidentally chosen the wrong partiton to format, so this seemed a good way to avoid it from then on.
This was not a problem on my old system, but it seems this system doesn't like it.
I must have left the drive completely unplugged, the times Windows did setup. Amazing really. I couldn't see the woods for the trees.
Anyway, I'm sorry to have bothered everyone with my problem.
Cheers
Marcus
edit : Sorry Syar2003, I didn't see your reply until I had posted mine. Many thanks for taking the time to try and help me, it seems as though I may have sorted it now. I am using IDE drives until I can afford SATA. But many thanks for the heads-up on the NF4-SATA compliance, I'll be sure to bare that in mind.
I didn't actually check the NVRAID/IDE ROM version before updating the bios, so I have no idea if the revision was changed when Liveupdate flashed the Bios, I'm afraid. I didn't know they would be updated at the same time.
Again, cheers
Marcus

WLC to use Management Interface & Few more getting started Questions

Hello,
I'm yet to implement the Wireless LAN in one of our client's corporate office. There 40 x 1130AG LWAPP AP's and 4404 WLC with ACS 4.x for the Authentication of the Wireless Clients who is trying to access the LAN.
For the WLC to connect to the Dual Core Switch, i need to use only one Management Interface with Distribution System port 1 being the Primary and mapping the DS Port 2 as the Backup port for the Management Interface. Is this Right? or do i have configure Dynamic Interfaces as well. Is management interface for accessing / management and configuration only? Management Interface will communicate with ACS for AAA and AP's who would like to associate with the WLC, is this Right?
Note: WLC, AP's, Wireless Clients & AP's are in the same IP Subnet.
Few other question of WLAN's so it helps me during implementation -
â¢ Can I use the 802.1x Authentication application found in the Windows XP for the Wireless Interface; instead of Cisco Client Application. For this; I have to configure the WLC / Wireless Client to use EAP algorithm; is this Right?
â¢ With the help of RRM, the channel interference between multiple AP's (3 - 4 AP's) in the same area is controlled by the WLC by changing the Channels used by the AP which is not same on all the AP's. Is this right?
â¢ How many Client Users will connect per Channels. 802.11 a / g will provide 11 Channels, is this Right?.
â¢ I'm trying to set in the WLC to limit the Client connections per AP to 25, can this be achieved?
Please, can anyone help me in calrifying the above points.
Regards,
Keshava Raju

Many Thanks Mr. Dennis for your help & Clarification.
With ref to your reply point no# 1. I have actually planned to connect one Gig port of the controller to each of the Dual Cisco Core Switch setup. Can i use all 4 Controller Interfaces configured as LAG and Port 1 & 2 connecting to Core Switch 01 and Port 3 & 4 connecting to Core Switch 02?
I have Final two more questions, Request you to help me calrifying this?
â¢ I'm willing to configure Multicast communication between the WLC & AP's. For this configuration is it necessary to Connect the WLC in a different VLAN than the VLAN of the AP's. Is it necessary that I have to set the controller to LWAPP Layer 3 mode to support the Multicast communication?
â¢ Though I do not have implementation experience of the WLAN. My understanding of the Interface settings on the WLC - is I will have to configure one Management Interface for in-band management. Do I have to configure AP-Manager Interface (to support Multicast communication) and to make the WLC to communicate with ACS for Client Authentication. All of the Wireless Devices including the ACS are in one VLAN / IP Subnet, is only one Management Interface is enough for communicating with AP's (with Multicast) and communicating with ACS for forwarding the Authentication messages between the ACS & Wireless Clients?

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

Few more questions (sorry I'm 22 and new)
