BIOS changes made by windows 8.1 without my knowledge

I am trying to have dual boot in my desktop so that i can login into Windows 8.1 or Ubuntu Linux. Everything is working fine except something very strange is happening. In my BIOS - boot order is getting changed by Windows. Even if i make it load ubuntu first and then Windows bootloader. Very first time it works...it loads ubuntu....later if i opt to go for windows.....windows simply changes that sequence such that windows boot manager will be loaded first and then ubuntu....while if i opt for ubuntu it works gracefully.
It seems windows doens't want to live peacefully with other OSs.
Windows should not be updating the BIOS settings at the first place.
Background:
I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a partition of an external disk drive connected to my HP desktop.
Secure boot is disabled; fast boot is disabled; legacy boot is disabled. When I boot Ubuntu and restart within Ubuntu, grub-efi lets me choose whether I want Ubuntu or Windows. However, if I go back to Windows and restart, Windows always changes my boot order, placing ubuntu last in the list. I always have to manually modify my UEFI settings and place Ubuntu ahead of Windows if I want to go back to Ubuntu. This seems like too much work. Is there any way to keep Windows from doing this?
Working with HP Support for past 2 days...tried everything...re-installing Linux and Windows also but no help. HP Support is trying to find out an excuse so that they can find some basis not to help me.
This question was solved.

AshuSharmalnia, welcome to the forum.
I am not certain why this is happening. However, I highly suggest using a second drive for Ubuntu. I dual booted with Ubuntu for years; never with Win 8.1. I found that using a second drive for Ubuntu solved all of my problems similar to what you are experiencing. Also, www.ubuntuforums.org is a must for anyone using Ubuntu. The members are extremely helpful and know the OS very well.
Note: This is not normally a problem that HP Customer Service would handle. They deal with HP components and software.

Changing iPod from Windows to Mac without losing music?

I have a mini that was always used on my PC with Windows. My computer was stolen while I was out of town, and I took it as a sign to finally upgrade to a Mac. I still have my iPod, and I want to use it on my new iMac, but the iPod was formatted to work with Windows.
I know I can restore my iPod, but is there anyway that I can keep from losing all the music I already have on there? How exactly do those transfer programs work, and would they work in my situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

technically your ipod should still be usable with the mac. You can put the ipod into whats called manual mode. This way the ipod will retain the music and you can use the ipod with your mac. You just wouldn't be able to use the auto sync feature. go to this site http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148 that will tell you how to select that option. As far as getting music that is not purchased from itunes from the ipod to the computer i am not an expert at that so i really dont have any suggestions other than i know it can be done. If you could find a good transfer program im sure it would be simple enough to move the music onto the mac then restore the ipod and load the songs back up.

somehow allot was downloaded as our home page and we do not want it. we lost our firefox toolbar with the file, edit, back/forward, bookmarks, tools function at the top. This happened as we tried to get rid of allot home page. can not figure out how to get back our original firefox page. Help

HT4759 How do you get changes made to your documents on a Windows 7 computer show up in your documents on your iPhone?

How can I get changes made in documents on my Windows 7 computer to show up in the documents on my iPhone 5? These documents show up in ICloud without showing the changes.

You have to be accepted into the Apple Beta program before any of that works.

Changes made in the PODCAST GET INFO window do not "stick"?

When working with podcasts, changes made in the GET INFO window do not "stick" for newly downloaded podcasts? In other words the changes are not persistent for newly downloaded podcasts. I want the changes to apply to past, present, and future podcasts.

thats difficult to say without seeing the code in the template.
when you dont supply any _tempate value in the url, the system by default uses
WEBREPORTING_SELSCREEN template.
your po_selscreen may be a copy of this and modified to change the look and feel or something like that. compare these two and see whats causing the selscreen from appearing completely

I cannot save any changes made in the Preferences box. I go to Edit, then Preferences. When the window opens, I can check or uncheck boxes in the General window BUT, there are no Cancel or OK buttons at the bottom of the window. HELP!!

There are no "Cancel" or "OK" buttons at the botton of my "Preferences" box that allow me save any changes that I might mak in the "General" window. The box opens without problem and changes can be made in the "General" window however, these changes cannot be saved. If I close the window with the "X" in the upper right hand corner and then reopen it, any changes made are lost. I'm running Windows XP and would appreciate any help that I can get.

I would like to change the "When you insert a CD:" option
Oh good, that one's pretty straightforward. When you make that change in the pane, the OK is the active button. For example, I just quickly changed mine to "Import CD and Eject", and you can see that the OK button is blue in my screenshot:
... so to make that setting stick, all you need to do is to hit your "Enter" key, and that should press the OK.
Unfortunately, I don't have any music in the iTunes library on the PC I'm working from at the moment. So I can't check my "Automatically download album artwork" checkbox.
Ed, could you check for us which item is active after changing that setting? (If it's the OK button, then hitting enter should press the invisible button, just like "When you insert a CD".)
Changing "Import Settings" is trickier, because after you get out of the "Import Settings" subdialog, the "Import Settings" button is active. So you then have to hit the tab key precisely five times (to get OK active again) and then hit Enter to get Import Settings changes to stick.

Z77A-GD55, no POST after BIOS change

Hello all -- a few days ago I put together my new build using the Z77A-GD55 (I can give full specs if desired, but it's not like it doesn't work) and everything worked great. I installed Windows 8, configured stuff, played games, etc. No performance problems at all. Last night I went into the BIOS to make a minor change to let the network adapter wake the PC from standby. I enabled a power setting I found and when I saved the settings and rebooted the BIOS, the PC wouldn't boot. No BIOS, no POST, no nothing. The fans were whirring and the LEDs were on (and everything stayed in this state until I cut power), but nothing happened on the monitor (the monitor works fine on another PC, by the way). I tried removing my PCI devices (wifi adapter and graphics card) and the hard drives, but nothing different happened. I removed all the RAM and then tried it with just one in, but both of those put it on a loop where everything would lose power within a few seconds and then try again. I cleared CMOS from the button on the input panel to no avail. I've since put the RAM and the hard drives back in (PCI devices still out) and I'm back to my initial no POST situation. I also tried putting a bootable flash drive in, just in case, but got nowhere.
The only thing I haven't removed is the processor, but because it only failed after I made a BIOS change, I'm still inclined to believe that that's not the problem (though I will do it when I have time tonight). Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? If at all possible I'd like to get this fixed without replacing the motherboard because I won't be able to get a refund (I regrettably submitted the rebate when everything was working, so no returns), but I understand that that may not be possible.
Thanks!

Remove the battery and short the JBAT1 pins for about 10 seconds with the power cord removed then retest.
If no help, please provide a full list of components.
Shorted the JBAT1 to no avail. Restarted after a few seconds the first time (I assume this is a result of the CMOS having being cleared), but after that it was the same. Still nothing on the screen. My components are as follows:
Board: MSI Z77A-GD55
BIOS: Not sure, whatever comes standard
VGA: Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7850
PSU: Antec HCG-620M
CPU: Intel Core i5-3350P Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.3GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 69W
MEM: Team Elite 4x2GB TED32048M1333C9
HDD: Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320GB (reused from old laptop)
SSD: Corsair Force Series GT CSSD-F90GBGT-BK
WIFI: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800
OS: Windows 8 64-bit Professional
I really appreciate any help!

Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 stuck on toshiba logo after bios change

My Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 is stuck on toshiba logo after bios change.
entered bios fine changes from UEFI to CSM boot and now i cannot enter bios or boot past toshiba logo.
Ive tried F2 tapping and holding while powering up the laptop(tried every Fkey,DEL,ESC, with and without FN key)
cannot re-enter bios.
Also i tried to run the bios update cd created multiple 1.50 1.40 even 1.00, it doesnt seem to read any media.
i tried holding C, FN+C and f and just about every key on the keyboard to get something to work. i had dvd as top of boot priority for a while now so i shouldnt have to try f12 or holding C before boot but i tried . it doesnt seem to read any media
i tried windows 8 install cd, Ubuntu, centos, nothing goes past toshiba logo and no errors, i dont get the non bootable device error so its seems to not be reading the dvd. (dvd does spin and make read noises) im trying to find my usb floppy drive to try a floppy version but it acts like its not reading any media.
I also pulled the HDD and all usb devices to make the dvd the only media available and with the HDD out it spins then toshiba logo then black screen with solid white horizontal curser on top left of screen.(only happens when hdd out)
is there some type of key combination that will force a bios update or a crisis recovery mode for bios.
I also Pulled the battery for 2 solid days(battery,cmos battery, and power supply and held power button for about 10 mins while watching tx to make sure the thing was drained before the 2 day sit with no power at all.
this happened the second i changed from UEFI to CSM boot so its not a motherboard problem or anything like that because all was well before this setting change.
I already pulled the HDD and backed it up to another drive and swapped it to elimiate that.
any ideas on a secret key combo to force a bios read from dvd or usb or anythng.
or another combo that im just missing to enter bios after CSM boot.
UPDATE
to do a crisis recovery on this laptop
1 get a usb stick and format it in fat or fat32
2 download "7zip" and install it if you dont have it.
3 download bios from toshiba website.
4 run the installer for bios but dont choose and option just close it we just want to extract the files to the location normally c:\splnvxxx where xxx is the version number like 150
5 goto the installed locaion "c:\splnv150" or whatever number.
6. find file os2014273a_150 or something similar. it will be an application, it will end in version number _150, and it will also have a disc image file of the same name. but we want the app.
7. right click on it and you should have an option 7zip then extract
once extracted there is a folder now archesxxxxxx_bios_v150_win
8 copy the bios file located in archesxxxxxblahblah/X64/BIOS.fd , BIOS.fd is the bios and just copy that to a BLANK usb thumb drive that was formatted with fat or fat32.
9. put usb into your satellite and unplug the power from it.
10 holding FN + ESC key together plug the power back in and press power button.
11. release keys FN and ESC if all is right it will have the power button and led on from blink abut every 1 second while it searches for the bios. once its done it will reboot and you should be good to go.
if it keeps cycling with the power button then the bios is named wrong or something is not right with the usb. try reformatting it again and make sure that the bios file is the ONLY thing on the drive.

Ok a little research and digging into the bios exe downloaded from toshiba shows this has INSYDE BIOS witch should have a recovery process wich i prepared a usb stick with just the bios.fd on it found some post around toshiba forums with different models using win +B or Fn + F but neither of these worked for me to force bios update
anyone with this model know the key combo to force recovery

Pages - Eliminate save prompt when closing file with no changes made

Hey everyone -
This isn't really a question thread, but rather a solution I built to eliminate one of Page's annoyances.
This problem has been encountered before, but the question isn't truly ever answered. I would reply to those (they're the top results in Google), but because they are archived I can't change them at all.
The Problem:
Even after disabling the .pages prompt, it still prompts to save files just before I close them. The exact message is: Do you want to save the changes made to the document "some_document"?
Details:
System Version: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
Kernel Version: Darwin 13.0.0
Pages Version: 5.0.1
The Solution:
Create a workflow.
Open Automator, select New Document.
Select Service, then click Choose.
Set Service Receives to "no input" and change the "in" drop down list to "Pages.app".
Next, search for Quit Application, put it in there.
Set this to Pages.app, and ensure the box "Ask to save changes" is unchecked.
Save it. I believe there is a default location, so don't specify a path. Give it a name. Quit Automator.
Assign a keyboard shortcut to the workflow.
Open System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
Go to Services on the left hand panel.
Scroll to the bottom.
Under General, you should see the workflow you created. Mine was called "Quit Pages".
Click it, then select the Add Shortcut button.
Give it a rarely used shortcut. I chose ⌘⇧X, but you're welcome to do whatever you like.
Quit System Preferences.
At this point, it should work. Open up Pages, open a new document, then do the shortcut. It should exit without any issue. However, I did not like having to learn a new shortcut just to pull this off. So I did this:
Use BetterTouchTool to configure it properly.
Download BetterTouchTool and install it.
Open it up.
Go to the Basic Settings tab, and ensure the "Launch BetterTouchTool on startup" is checked.
Click the Gestures tab.
Select Keyboard in the horizontal bar.
On the left hand panel, near the words "App Specific", click the plus symbol. This should allow you to add an application.
Select Pages.
Click the Pages application in the left hand panel (if it is not already).
At the bottom of the main panel, click "Add new shortcut".
Keyboard shortcut: ⌘Q
Trigger other keyboard shortcut: ⌘⇧X (or whatever you used in System Preferences).
Quit the application.
Open it back up. It should now be running in your Menubar.
Now, if you open a .docx document with Pages, then hit ⌘Q, it should exit without any fuss. HOORAH!
Granted, this does have a few tradeoffs. If you go to Pages > Quit, it will still prompt you. Also if you want to close the current window (⌘W), it will still prompt you.

You get this behavior if the file which you opened is not a Pages '09 one.
If it is a Pages '08 one, it must be entirely transcoded so it's a modified document and given that, the program must ask you to save it.
If you save it as a Pages '09 document, you will no longer be asked to save (in these conditions).

How to change Default Finder Windows Size?

Hi all:
New Finder windows show Macintosh HD and there is no problem in keeping the size or view options every time I open a new window (command + N).
I can change "New Finder windows show" to another folder and works just as well.
But when I open a folder in a new window (double click on an icon folder) the size of the window is very small and different from the window displayed by using command + N.
Finder saves and applies default view options to all windows without a problem, but not the default size or in other words:
default windows size is different from new finder windows size.
In Snow Leopard I could change default size of all windows holding down the Shift key while dragging and changing the size but in Mountain Lion it does not work.
I have also deleted all files .DS_Store but neither works.
I searched a lot but can not find a solution to this problem.
Thanks.

As far as New Finder Windows (command+N) are concerned, there's no problem.
All other folder's Finder Windows I have not modified manually are displayed with the default size shown in the attached image. That is the window size that I want to modify.
Thanks.

Runtime.getRuntime.exec() not working when Tomcat is made a windows Sevice

Hi,
I am working on a web application which launches a exe file on subitting the form. I am using Apache Tomcat 4.0.6 to run the web application. Initially Tomcat was not made a windows service on my machine and when I launch an exe it is launching without any problems. I used the following command to launch the exe file:
<code>
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Mercury Interactive\\WinRunner\\arch\\wrun.exe" + strWROptions);
</code>
The above command launches WinRunner on the local machine.
without using tomcat if I just compile and run a test program with this command, the exe is launching perfectly. But, Once I made tomcat a windows service on my machine the exe is not launching.
Also, a process is being created in the windows task bar named wrun.exe once I submit the form but WinRunner is not lauching on the desktop.
Can any one please help and suggest me.
Thanks,
Ramesh

The version of Java I am using is 1.4.2. Even without
using the string array as you mentioned, the exe
(wrun.exe) is launched on my desktop if I don't run
Tomcat as a windows service. But the problem arises on
making it a service :-(
That is strange because going by the documentation what you have been using should never work. I can't test it though, I'm not on MSWindows at the moment..
Now, when I use this string array convention, I am
getting an error saying "The tool could not launch..
some error occured".
That's not a Java error message, it must come from WinRunner. This means that you have succesfully started WinRunner (great!) but something else is wrong; maybe the parameters you pass to it are incorrect.
How would you run it on the command line? Like this?wrun -t "D:\L5_QE\L5A\Initial" -create_text_report on -runThat line executes the wrun program and passes it five parameters, not three. The first parameter is "-t", the second "D:\L5_QE\L5A\Initial", the third "-create_text_report", the fourth "on", and the fifth "-run". The array of strings that corresponds to that line isString[] command = {"C:\\Program Files\\Mercury Interactive\\WinRunner\\arch\\wrun.exe",
                "-t", "D:\\L5_QE\\L5A\\Initial",
                "-create_text_report", "on",
                "-run"};

My account was accessed and unauthorized changes made by We R Wireless

I recently became a ware of a very serious issue and have been getting little assistance from Verizon. My account was password protected and had only 3 people identified as having the ability to make changes on my account. I received a notice from Verizon regarding a change made on one of my lines. Upon review it was an unauthorized change to add "Total Mobile Protection" to one of my lines for $9.00 a month. Also in this notice was a credit which I was entitled to for a $10.00 Active Promotion. I believe this credit was placed on the account so that the change might slip by unnoticed. When I looked into the change it was made by a Representative from We R Wireless in Ship Bottom NJ. I have never been to this store nor have I spoken with anyone ever at this store.
After calling the store and confirming my account was accessed and unauthorized changes made, I was told by the manager that an employee had in fact accessed my account and made those changes. I still could not understand how it was possible for the changes to have been made without my password. The activity certainly looked very suspicious and I figured it had to do with commission to the representative for adding the insurance plan. This was denied multiple times by the manager of the store as well as the District Manager. In the meantime I had received multiple emails from We R Wireless in their attempts to "Make this go away"
What came next was the most disturbing and upsetting part of this situation. I was told by the District Manager of WE R Wireless that my information they had collected years ago during a purchase of a phone and activation INCLUDING MY PASSWORD and that they had kept it in their system!!
WE R Wireless had shared my personally identifiable information and Password to my account with Sales representatives at the Ship Bottom WE R Wireless store and that was how they accessed my account!!
As you can imagine I have now been receiving multiple calls from The Director of Retail Operations, Musafa as well as the Director of Operations, Jimmy. They are attempting to sweep this under the carpet and it is inexcusable and unacceptable. The reason for this post is to WARN others who may have made purchases at anytime at a We R Wireless store that they KEEP YOUR PASSWORD and employees are given the Passwords and have made changes to accounts. I cannot believe that I am the only one that this has happened to and I am concerned this is a widespread breech and more importantly is ILLEGAL.
I will keep this Board updated with developments but can tell you so far Verizon has not been very responsive to my concerns but this is unacceptable and I am thinking of contacting the FCC as well as an Attorney. In this day and age of Identity Theft this situation must be addressed by Verizon whether or not this was one rogue employee or not our PASSWORDS and other Information should never be shared nor kept without our knowledge.

I can only tell you that the Verizon rep from the Fraud department as well as Verizon's legal department contacted me and said under no circumstances are these companies to retain Customer Passwords. As you can see look at the potential for issues as evident in this situation.
As far as the FCC and their responsibilities this is directly from the website
The Federal Communications Commission regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. An independent U.S. government agency overseen by Congress, the commission is the United States' primary authority for communications law, regulation and technological innovation. In its work facing economic opportunities and challenges associated with rapidly evolving advances in global communications
The agency investigates consumer issues such as Cramming which has occurred here if you go to the site you will see some of the recent fines for cramming levied by the FCC and it is a huge issue. A consumer does not get involved in legal fees the FCC is responsible to investigate consumer claims of fraud and regulates the industry. The Attorney General also takes this very seriously as well.
Cramming - Unauthorized Charges on Your Phone Bill
Cramming Settlement for Consumers Announced
Dec. 19, 2014: The FCC, along with the FTC and state attorneys general, announced a $90 million settlement with T-Mobile regarding unauthorized charges - commonly known as "cramming" - on phone bills.
Current and former T-Mobile wireless customers should review their bills and apply for refunds if they suspect third party charges were wrongly added to their bills at www.t-mobilerefund.com/
