After getting my LCD screen repaired, my firmware file is suddenly not compatible

The pixels in my screen were dying so first I took it to the apple store where they told me that either they could do an expensive repair or get a new ipod. So i went to a local phone repair store so they could fix it cheaper than the apple store. When I got it back, there was nothing on my ipod.. so i figured they had just reset it and I would just plug it in and I could get all my music back on. But when I plugged it in, an error message that said "itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted." and told me it needed to be restored. So when I tried to restore it, another error message came up saying that it couldnt be restored because my firmware file is not compatible. I also noticed that the back of the ipod says it's a 160gb model when my ipod is actually the 120gb model. I was confused so I called the store and they told me they had to replace some parts of mine with another ipod's parts for some reason. My ipod also has a new serial number.. So I took it to the genius bar and they reset it and it seemed to work fine but when I got home and tried to plug it in, i got the same error messages. So I called apple and someone walked me through TONS of solutions, but all of them to no avail because the problem is the hardware on my ipod. Does anyone know what might be wrong with it? If it's unfixable, i believe a certain phone repair shop owes me another ipod.

most likely the repair gave you someone else iPod with jailbreak firmware, that doesn't work,so get your iPod back from them. Have it repaired at a 3rd Party iPod repair center. Google for it.

Unless the iPhone was purchased as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
Regards.

5530 firmware update found but not compatible?

Hi,
the phone is a french 5530 (no fimlock, no netlock, a free phone), a firmware update is found from nokia, i can download it from the phone. Then it restarts the phone, and a white screen appears with the update bar. But then it just restarts and on the home screen the message appears that it is not compatible with my network provider? I really want to update... but how?

I'm having exactly the same problem. I even tried downloading via laptop, but it wont complete the installation.
I am so sick of my phone freezing or switching itself off I have just rang my contract supplier and they are going to arrange to get a new phone sent out. I did ask if I could have a different make of phone as I don't have much confidence in this one, but they will only exchange for the same.
Let's hope a new phone solves the issues!

I had downloaded and installed one of those automatic Windows update and now whenever I try to open my Firefox I get an error message, "Platform version 6.0.2 is not compatible with minVersion 6.0.1 maxVersion 6.0.1

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.

What version of iDVD is compatible with OS X 10.5.8? I get an error message that iDVD 5.0.1 is not compatible with OS X 10.5.8.

It won't mess up anything. The preference file contains the preferences you set in iDVD such as this:
Follow this to delete the iDVD preference file:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your

Are there options left for restarting after getting only gray screen?

I have an iBook G3 Dual USB with 12.5 inch screen, using 10.3.9 - after freezing up and forced shutdown I only get a gray screen on start up. It won't start in Safe Mode, it won't start using fsck. If I start from install disk I get the gray screen with the apple and the spinning gear - forever! If I start and press the option key I get the blue screen with the two arrows but no disks show, and the little watch just keeps spinning. Is my hard disk fried? Is there nothing else to try except the repair shop? Can I connect by Graphite Firewire via ethernet and try accessing it's disk utility? I only have 9.2.2 on it. Thanks.

brucejsp - quoting your note:

I went through a similar situation after installing the recent 2007-004 security update. Check out the long and growing problems report thread under "Panther Security Update 2007-004". If you just did this update, it may be the source of your problems. In spite of all of the other suggestions, reinstalling (using archive and install, maintain system settings), then doing all but the 004 update, did the trick.

Restarts after replacement of LCD screen

My Ipad Mini had a replacement of the LCD screen because it broke down into pieces. After the Apple service dealer replaced it, the Ipad mini restarts when I open the protective Ipad smart cover (the one sold by Apple with the magnetic hinge that aligns to the left border) and put it completely backwards. When I do not use the smart cover, the problem does not occur at all.
Would someone tell me what is happening?

There are no Apple Authorized repair centers for iOS devices - no such thing exists or ever has. So whomever repaired it for you is a private party service provider. You should go back to them and tell them they did not actually fix it.
By having them work on it, you may well have negated any possible replacement by Apple (and Apple does not repair either, they replace damaged or defective items).

MSI AE2051 LCD screen repair

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a second hand MSI AE2051 with broken LCD to repair it.
Does anyone knows if it is very difficult operation to do or anyone has a disassembling guide?
I disassembled other PC and Macbook laptops to change HD so I am not a newbie.
Thank you for your help

Replacements are usually offered on the spot. You make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your Apple Store. Go in, show them your iPad, give it to them, pay the fee and get a replacement, go home, set it up and that's that.
Use this link to schedule an appointment. If you just walk in the store, you could find yourself waiting hours for a Genius Bar appointment.

Ipad 2 LCD screen repair

I dropped my ipad 2 a day before yesterday and the LCD screen got broke and I barely can't see the screen because it's all light green and pink. I'm going to take my ipad 2 to the apple store tomorrow and how much do you expect? and how long does it usually take?
P.S.: I bought my ipad 2 on last August (but i don't have a receipt.. is it okaY?) and it's not a year yet.

On my SD TV... Notice the black bars on the top and bottom. Once I go in and out of the guide the black bars are gone. I have reported this but if you are confirming the issue I will report it again.

I have a Motorola 7XXX series DVR which got the 1.9 upgrade a few days ago. I have SD Override enabled and set to Stretch. When I set it like that, the SD channel I'm on will then stretch to fill the screen (and the black bars disappear as they should). But when I change the channel and go to another SD channel, the black bars are back. Or if I enable the SD Override and then turn the TV off, it will be disabled once I turn the TV on again (and the black bars are back).
It seems like the SD Override isn't holding. I don't want to have to hit the # button on the remote to change the aspect ration every time I change the channel. The SD Override should work and stay enabled once set. Anyone know how to fix this?

Want to start PSE 12 in photo editor but it will only start in Orgaizer, can't get to welcome screen and the .exe file that Adobe said to look for does not exist on my files

Have tried to start PSE 12 in photo editor but it continues to start in Organizer. I do not want my pictures loaded in Organizer at all. Saw a page on the web that said to click on an .exe editor file but that is not on my files. Also cannot get a welcome screen to come up, only an organizer even though I checked it the first time to come up in photo editor. I'm now having Organizer crammed down my throat. Tried online chat but was cut off with the statement that no support is offered for v12 any longer.

Hi,
You failed to say which operating system you are running on so I'm assuming it is Windows of some type.
You should be able to find the following files, using explorer, depending on your system.
64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Double clicking on that should start the editor - suggest to create a shortcut to it.
If you can't find one of those files, then you either installed it somewhere else or you need to re-install elements.

Firefox will not open after new update; Error: Platform version '1.9.2.13' is not compatible

After accepting the new update I got this error message when trying to restart Firefox:
XULRunner
Error: Platform version ‘1.9.2.13’ is not compatible with
minVersion >= 1.9.2.14
maxVersion <= 1.9.2.14
I have tried:
- Opening in Safe Mode; same error
- Uninstalling, deleting remaining info in C>ProgramFiles>MozillaFirefox folder, and reinstalling.
- Updating Avast antivirus in case that was interfering.
Now when I try to start Firefox I get this message;
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
But there is nothing happening in the Windows Task Manager. Please, somebody save me from Windows Internet Explorer!!

I experienced this error updating from Firefox 3.6.13 to 3.6.14 and resolved it by doing a 'clean' install' as described. It occurred again in updating from 3.6.14 to 3.6.15 and this time a clean install failed to rectify it. (Anyway, I don't want to have to go through this every time.)
Work-around: Shut down Firefox. Edit application.ini (typically "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\application.ini")
[Gecko]
MinVersion=1.9.2.15
Change to 1.9.2.13
Save. Start Firefox. Dirty? Yes. Works? Yes.
(Gecko is the forerunner or XULrunner)

I get the error: Platform version '1.9.2.6' is not compatible with minVersion =1.9.2.8. How do I make it compatible?

I get an error message. Error: Platform version '1.9.2.6' is not compatible with minVersion>= 1.9.2.8 maxVersion

You did delete the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\" directory?
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.
