I have a problem with my pavilion dv4-2045dx dvd/cd rom drive for windows 7 64-bit

I can play CD's and watch dvd movies fine. The drive have no problem reading cd and DVD's. My problem is with cd-rom and blank CD's and DVD's. I can't burn anything. For some reason, it won't read any cd-rom disks. This has never been a problem before. I tried the idea about the upper and lower filters but when I searched, I didn't see any upper or lower filters. I tried the microsoft fix it and nothing was wrong. I looked at the device manager and it shows no problem at all. What should I do next?

Hi, did you say this issue just started?
If so have you tried a system restore back to date when it was working?
Here is a link to a document on running a system restore...this is not like a recovery, it won't wipe out all your data
.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00807369&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N315
Just click on the heading for "Returning the computer to a previous restore point"

Computer recognizes my ipod but the driver isn't there to support it. I have the same problem with another Ipod touch where there is no driver for windows but this one Does show up on itunes.

I believe what I must do is install a driver but I don't know where the drivers are indexed at in apple. Itunes is up to date, and I am using the USB that came with the Ipod.

Have you tried the driver-related instructions in the following article, Hegel?
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Adobe X PDF files converted to jpg, edited and converted back to PDF have ragged, unclear text. I didn't have this problem with Acrobat 9 standard. What is the remedy for this. If this is the best I can expect, I won't be able to use X standard.

I can't imagine any worse workflow than converting to JPEG to edit text, then back to PDF. Text in a PDF is a vector thing, smooth at all resolutions. And JPEG is made for photos. EVERY conversion to JPEG and back loses quality but how much loss there is will vary.
If you must go to an image format, try PNG.

I have a multifunctional Canon i-SENSYS MF4140 and Mac Book Air Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (11D50b). I have a problem because I can not scan, it is not driver for this application?

I have a multifunctional Canon i-SENSYS MF4140 and Mac Book Air Mac OS X10.7.3 Lion (11D50b). I have a problem because I can not scan, it is not driver for this application?

I see printer drivers from Canon for that printer for OS X 10.7. but not scanner drivers. If the MF4140 is not recognized by the Image Capture application and Canon technical support cannot offer any assistance, all I can think of to suggest is to try a third-party scan application such as VueScan:

They offer a free trial period so you can see if it works with your Canon.

Problem with HP pavilion dv4-1117nr touchpad pointer & key

I was browsing on the internet a few hours ago and all of a sudden it hanged. Tried to shut it down by pressing the power button but it did not work so took off the battery. When I turned it back on, I selected the safe mode. The cursor was moving fine as I used the touchpad but the left key didn't work although the right key worked. So I restarted in the normal mode but the problem persists, & additionally I noted that when the computer is switched on, there is a dotted dragging box (don't know if there's a technical or common name) along the cursor. The kind that happens with left-click and draggin.
I was thinking somehow the touchpad key is jammed but the tapping on the touchpad option is not working either! So it's a left-key mechanism fault as a hole.
Right now I am using an external mouse to work.
Any suggestions that don't involve hardware checking?

Did you find a solution to this.
I suffered a similar problem on my machine
HP pavillion dv4-1100ea s/N: CND8421Lw7 running vista home.
I was using an application and left click stopped working and cimputer was crashed I had to restart a few times before it would run. I have not yet tried a new driver as I personally think it is hardware related. If there is a software bug issue with this I woudl apreciate HP Tech given some feedback on this problem as it does not appear to be a one off.
The most annoying thing is I bought laptop 05/12/2008 and the fault occured 07/12/2009 which is a very annoying I am not sure if anyone will do anything to help or will care!
broken mouse keys used to happen on cheap laptops back in the 95 no excuses really for such and key hardware feature to fail arfter such a short time.

I have a problem with the iPhoto not updating after the hard drive recall.

The iPhoto with not update after doing the Hard Drive Recall. It keeps saying I don't have the right ID. I have tried resetting all my passwords and no change. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Which OS version did you have when you acquired iPhoto and was it on a DVD (iLife) or did you download it from the app store initially?
And, last question, did you skip Mavericks? Mavericks owners were given the opportunity to update iPhoto to an app store version free of charge; if you skipped it and do not have a backup or the installer DVD or purchased a new computer recently, then you'll need to purchase it.

I should take it I have a problem with Thunderbird opening hyperlinks in a tab on an existing window in Chrome rather than in a new window. How can I fix this?

I am trying to figure out if this an issue that I need to fix in my Thunderbird, or if it has to do with Chrome, which is set as my default browser. If someone could let me know how to fix it if it IS a Thunderbird issue, or if I should take it up with Chrome, I would be grateful.
Thanks!
Penney Nile

I think that would have to be a setting in Chrome. That should control how new pages linked from other applications are treated.

I have a problem with manually uninstalling IDM CC 6.9.8 extension for Mozilla. How can I "MANUALLY" delete this extension?

I have installed Internet Download Manager on my laptop and it subsequently, was integrated with Mozilla Firefox, but now cannot transfer download files on the Net to Internet Download Manager main panel. What can I do to manually delete this extension to reinstall it again?

Go to %appdata%\IDM\ and delete the "idmmzcc3" folder. You need to have firefox closed, or unlock the files with unlocker if firefox is running to delete it

Delete the ipod updater-redownload it from Apple.
The file you downloaded became corrupted and will not work.
