A very strange boot problem not yet found in the User Forums

Hi
I know you guys are fed up with all the booting problems, but this one is the strangest one I've yet come across.
I'm putting a PC together to function as an extra render for my 3D animations. Here is the specs as follows.
865PE Neo2-P Mobo
Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz Processor
2 x 256 DDR 400MHz Memory modules (two of the exact same make and model)
300w PSU
60GB HDD Maxdor
nVidia nForce 5600
here is the problem.
It goes past the post, but then the system stops there. It does not go to boot at all.
In the top of the screen below the memory testing and above the HDD and DVD Ram listings it displays as follows:
DEL -> Bios, F12 - Boot Menu etc.
when i press any of keys listed there, that line changes accordingly to the function I selected.
I can get into the BIOS.
But the Motherboard does not boot any further, it just stays there.
I tried diffrent memory, CPU, Powersupply etc, but to no avail.
(I disabled the QUICK BOOT options to see what problems it may give, but it lists none what so ever.)
On the motherboard, where the DIMM2 starts and the MSI CoreCell chip, to above the IDE1 connector to the full length of the IDE connectors, it looks like the transistors/chips connections has a kind of plaque, it does not shine like the rest. Could that be the problem? How can I clean it?
Please help, this is sort of urgent!!!!!!

Disconnect hard & optical drives........
Power up system.
Do you still have freeze on post? (Start up)
I would also concur with Bas, 300w psu no go.
Intel P4 478 2.4 and above Northwood processors are very power hungry. You would be advise to look for PSU with at least 24amps on the +12V rail....... (Enermax 465 and some 365's or the new Corsair VX 450)

Very Strange Internet Problems

I own a MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch that I purchased about a year and a half ago. I recently upgraded to Leopard and have all the latest updates. I am from the US, and when I am home my internet works fine. However, I am on travel to Seoul, South Korea right now and am having a very strange internet problem.
As far as I can tell, the URLs that I type in to my browser are, sparodially, not translated correctly into the webpages that they are supposed to represent. This problem is probably effective 75% of the time, and the rest of the time my internet works roughly correctly. For instance, when I enter http://www.google.com, instead of being taken to the Google homepage, I am taking to the homepage of Jammin Beats DJ Service, an obscure website about a company in northern Pennsylvania. The actual URL of this website is http://www.jamminbeats.com, but when my internet is malfunctioning, 'jamminbeats' is for all intensive purposes replaced by 'google' (that is, it applies not only to the main page, but to sub pages, so "http://www.google.com/weddings" takes you to "http://www.jamminbeats.com/weddings" and etc). For most other webpages, one of two things happens. Either I am taken to the correct page but it is displayed without any images or frames (just the html text and links), or I am taken to a blank page with the header "Under Construction", which I assume is the default for a page that doesn't exist. This is why it seems as though the URLs are simply being interpretted erroneously.
This problem occurs when connecting both to the wireless and the wired internet at my hotel, and it occurs on both Safari and Firefox, so it is not a connection-specific or browser-specific problem. It may be a problem with the hotel's internet, and as of yet I have not had a chance to test the computer at another location. However, a colleague using an IBM computer has had no problems, and I am currently on a Samsung machine in the business center of the hotel and it is working correctly as well. I have searched extensively online for a similar problem but have come up empty handed, and more than anything, I am confused about what might be causing this problem. The strangest thing is that a fraction of the time, the internet functions normally, but it is usually roughly 15 minutes out of every hour, and eventually I am inevitably taken back to Jammin Beats.
I am a computer science graduate but I still have no idea what would cause this problem. At first I thought it might be a hacker, but if it is, he or she has been at it consistently for 3 days now, and only seems to be targeting my computer. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated, as I have been forced to resort to the hotel's business center for checking email, doing work, etc. Thanks in advance.

I did consider that, as I was in Beijing last week and there are a number of censored sites. However, in Korea I have had problems with very basic sites like facebook, wall street journal, google, yahoo, Korean google, my hotel's webpage, etc. Further, I have successfully gotten all of these sites to load seemingly at random, and can access them without problems on other computers. The only disconnect seems to be between my MBP and the internet, not between Korean internet and the web. I have toyed around with the network settings, and although sometimes after switching from "Automatic" to a fixed connection I get some sites to work, it usually only lasts a short time and eventually the same sites stop working. I reset my cache regularly to make sure I'm not getting sent to cached sites, but this also doesn't help. Further, my Apple Mail, Skype and AIM accounts jump between being connected and disconnected randomly as well. Again, this is isolated to my own computer, which is why I'm so confused.

Very Strange Bluetooth Problem

Hi There
My mac seems to have developed a very strange bluetooth problem. When i try to connect my mighty mouse, it 'connects' then a couple seconds later disconnects, then connects and disconnects etc. during the time that it is apparently connected, the LED on the bottom of the mouse keeps flashing in the way it does when it's searching for a connection, which tells me it ain't connected at all.
Thinking this was just a mighty mouse problem i try connect my iPhone, same problem. This time I do it with the bluetooth preferences open i notice that the status of the iPhone connection has gone funny (like it has not connected on top of the word connected in the status, one atop the other) this weirdness happens irrespective of what you connect, and only to the iPhone status, even if it's bluetooth is off.
This weird status thing has happened before, when i was messing about with bluetooth tethering on my iPhone. So, naturally, i assume the iPhone's buggered up the system somehow. I remove it from the list of paired things and try the mouse again, no luck. I try to re add the mouse, but the pairing process doesn't complete itself before the mouse drops signal again. I can't re-pair my iPhone either for the same reason.
how can i fix this?
Cheers, Joe

Hey there,
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences.
Locate, and move to the Trash, this file com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.
If still no luck, try zapping the PRAM to see if that helps. Instructions on how to do that can be found [HERE|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379].

Very strange power problem...

Hey guys (and girls ofcourse),
I'm having a very strange power problem with my late 2007 2.2Ghz santa rosa macbook.
Can you guys help me determine what the problem could be?
Here's what happened prior, when the macbook was still working. I got home from work, plugged my adapter into the wall, and it started charging. I left it on the table, and when I came back from the diner table I continued working, but suddenly noticed my macbook wasn't charging anymore. (the orange/green led wasn't lighting up but i was able to work on battery power)
I thought it was the poweradapter, so I went to the apple store the next day to lend one to test it. That didn't work, so it's not the adapter.
So then I started thinking it must be the magnetic DC connector. So I ordered that from the guys at ifixit, (since it's out of warranty) but I replaced it and it's not working.
I don't think it's the logic board, because I was able to continue working until I ran out of battery power. And I also don't think it's the battery connector, because if i'm not mistaking, the macbook can run without battery as well, but mine can't anymore.
Now I can't get any life out of my mac anymore...
Might there be something I overlooked?
Any suggestions are definately welcome!
Thanks a lot.
Timo from Belgium.

Hi Timo,
I think i have the same problem, my mac is not working without battery in it. and it wont charge it.
i wrote a post here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2105648&tstart=0
let me know if you have fixed the problem
thanks

Very Strange Focus problem

I've encountered a very strange focus problem that I hope someone can help me
with. In my frame, I have a toolbar and some JTextFields. When I press one of
the toolbar buttons, I do whatever and at the very end I use requestFocusInWindow()
to set the focus to one of the JTextFields. Now here's the strange part. If I don't
touch the keyboard or the mouse, I can see the caret in the JTextField as expected.
As soon as I move the mouse or touch any key, the focus changes to the next
toolbar button. Makes no sense to me. By the way, I'm running 1.4 on Windows NT.

Create a new class ToolbarButton extends JButton where you have the following method:
     * Identifies whether or not this component can receive the focus.
     * A disabled button, for example, would return false.
     * @return true if this component can receive the focus
    public boolean isFocusTraversable() {
       return false;
    }This prevents the buttons from getting keyboard focus, this makes only sense for toolbar buttons.
Cheers,
Taoufik

Ordinal 55 could not be found in the dynaminc link library iertutil.dll cs5.5 installation problem.

Okay, so when i downloaded the trial version of Flash Professional CS5.5, the following popup "popped up".
"The dynamic link library iertutil.dll could not be found. Reinstalling the application may solve this problem."
So i went to a site that had helped me with this sort of thing before dll-files.com, and downloaded iertutil.dll, and placed it in my System32 folder.
I pressed OK on the previous pop-up, only to be greeted with:
"Ordinal 55 could not be found in the dynaminc link library iertutil.dll"
Flash CS5.5 finished installing and works great, but the same Ordinal 55 popup pops up at least a hundred times a day, (It's even popping up as I write this) even when Flash isn't open
I'm using Windows XP SP2, I have Internet Explorer 6 SP2 (though i usually use Google Chrome Instead)
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bansal,
When does this error start to occur? Check Event Viewer and see if we could find any other messages.
Take a try with the SFC command:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
Further, try the following if SFC won't help:

My iPad2 "could not be found on the network" and won't sync

Please Help!
My iPad 2 won't sync and doesn't seem to be "seen" by my PC.
I have rebooted, restored and reset the iPad, and installed latest ios.
PC is running Windows 8 with latest iTunes whic has been re-installed.
The USB port and cable work fine - I don't have the the same problem with my iPhone 4S.
The iPad logo comes up in iTunes as a device, and I get the "pinging" noise when connecting. The iPad details come up in iTunes, but I can't back up or connect or do anything witht it.
It won't sync and I get error messages:"iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services"
and in one of my explorations
"iPad could not be found on the network"
Sometimes when the Ipad is connected iTunes will be ok for a short time, then go into "not responding"
When I try Windows Explorer the iPad does not show in the "Removable Storage" section like it used to, and like my iPhone still does.
In Device Manager, Apple iPad Properties, I get the message "This device cannot start (Code 10)". On line searchinh suggests this could be a driver problem however when checking for drivers I got the message saying my drivers were up to date.
Please HELPPPPPP!!
Thanks

It's now sorted - a driver problem
I found this tip in another thread. Thanks LexLester

Re: How to transfer pictures from iPad to PC? 06-Dec-2013 09:51 (in response to amershiraz)
When you are connecting your iPad with your PC, go to Control Panel, click 'view devices and printers' under Hardware and Sound. Your iPad device should be shown in there even it is not showing in My Computer. See whether there's troubleshoot for Apple iPad. Then troubleshoot it. It should be the device driver which is not functioning or being disabled or not up to date. You should be able to find your iPad under the Portable Devices in My Computer after the troubleshooting.

Error message "... could not be found on the server."

I have been subscribed to a podcast for 3 years. I received an error message for that subscription recently stating,
"There was a problem downloading "Civil War Podcast by Dr. James Robertson Jr. from WVTF. The URL http://www.wvtf.org/news_and_notes/feeds/wvtf_cw_rss.php could not be found on the server."
Something else that may or may not be related, for months I haven't been able to find this specific podcast in the iTunes store when I search for it. However, my iTunes continued to download current podcasts.
What does this mean?

I believe WVTF changed the podcast feed URL. I went to their website http://www.wvtf.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=44 &Itemid=160&limitstart=5 and got the feed URL and entered it directly under Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast. The URL I used is http://www.wvtf.org/index.php?option=com_podcast&view=feed&format=raw
Good luck, Chris

AZURE The specified certificate could not be found in the LocalMachine certificate store,or the certificate does not have a private key.

Hello,
I try to make a HV website in Azure. It took me hours to figure out how to make a HV certificate with my own password. But I figured it out. With the HV application manager I uploaded the certificate to the HV platform. This worked fine. Then I created a
c# project with also works well on my local machine.
This is the code I use in the web.config
<appSettings>
<add key="ApplicationId" value="24ee15be-1497-4719-ad70-d1223adbf021" />
<add key="ShellUrl" value="https://account.healthvault-ppe.co.uk/" />
<add key="HealthServiceUrl" value="https://platform.healthvault-ppe.com/platform/" />

<add key="NonProductionActionUrlRedirectOverride" value="Redirect.aspx" />

<add key="WCPage_ActionHome" value="default.aspx" />
<add key="WCPage_ActionAppAuthSuccess" value="default.aspx" />
<add key="WCPage_ActionSignOut" value="SignedOut.aspx" />
</appSettings>
Next step is to deploy the site to Azure. I was able to upload the certicate to Azure.
After deploy I get the following error:
System.Security.SecurityException: The specified certificate, CN=WildcatApp-24ee15be-1497-4719-ad70-d1223adbf021, could not be found
in the LocalMachine certificate store,or the certificate does not have a private key.
I checked the certificate on another server with a different key in the web.config
<add key="ApplicationCertificateFileName" value="c:\Zodos\website\WildcatApp-24ee15be-1497-4719-ad70-d1223adbf021.pfx"/>
This gives me this error:
Exception Details: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: The specified network password is
not correct.
So the procedure I followed definitely was not correct:
It works on my local machine
It doesn't work on another server or on Azure
I can see that the procedure I follow is not correct, but what am I doing wrong?

Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy certain apps thru iTunes. I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this. Thanks

Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy / download certain apps thru iTunes and or App Store. I have found the apps i want yet I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this? Thanks

If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.
And keep in mind, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
