After update at startup, it opens in a dos look and open firmware...

Just wondering after I updated my wife's computer, it's asking me upon every start up that it's an open firmware and to type in start-up or something like that. Is there a setting to have the computer start normally? On Tiger, do I need to do the hold power after it starts to activate the firmware?

I tried that last night but it didn't fix anything. On the other hand, I noticed that when I took the USB cable out that was connected to my printer, it loaded fine. I wonder why that happens? I dosen't happen on my macbook pro i5. Her computer is running Tiger 10.4.11 and it's a 2001 model. Pretty old.

    I was unable to access the laptop last night to create a new user; however my client would perfer not to try a second account since that would make it unusable for him while we test the second profile.
    Also John Sophos was installed after this started to verify that it was not a virus/malware (I know pointless step but it has happened to me before) so I don't think that is the problem

    after update to IOS 4.3.5 my Iphone incoming and out going calls is not working properly and I have to remove the SIM regulerly to conduct or receive a call
    It is not practicale to do this always any one faces the same problem

    There may be a problem with the SIM card. Get a new SIM card from your carrier - there should be no charge for a replacement.
    If no change with a new SIM card, the standard troubleshooting steps in order are:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    Restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If no change after any of these steps in order, your iPhone has a hardware problem.

    After updating to iOS 8.0.2 the App Store and iTunes have disappeared, is anyone else having this problem? Help please!

    Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • After updating to Firefox 6, the menubaritems are in English and "History" gives the Bookmarkslibrary

    In my previous version of Firefox (5) i used to have all items in the menubar in Dutch. After updating to version 6, these items are in English and I have not found out how to change that.
    Furthermore, asking for "History/show all history" brings me to the Bookmarkslibrary....

    The page may have been zoomed out. With Gmail on display try using the keyboard shortcut Control+0 (zero) to reset page zoom.

  • Any ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slow

    Any ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slowAny ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slow

    I found the reason why our iPads are slow after iOS 5!!!!!!!
    What you need to do is this:
    1) launch settings, go to mail contacts and calendars, go to fetch new data, advanced, and set iCloud to fetch.
    2) go back and set an interval of when to fetch. Mine is set for thirty minutes. 
    3) make sure on top push is still on, that means that all your emails will still be pushed, but all the iCloud sync (contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks) will happen at the interval you choose.
    Restart the device. Your performance should be 10x faster! No more keyboard lag, nothing! Doing this puts less stress on the A4 chip, which we know we need every bit we can get with it now!!!
    Optional:
    1) in the settings, go to safari.
    2) clear all history and cookies/data
    3) enable private browsing. One of the biggest reasons why devices are slow is because it keeps all the history and cookies in the RAM. You need more RAM to make things faster. By turning on private browsing, it never records it!
