"Bump" noise with X-Fi Surround when switching on and off PC
I use an X-Fi Surround USB device, which is connected to large acti've speakers. Whenever I switch on or off my PC, even just standby mode, I get a loud "bump" noise on the speakers. The bump noise is independent from the volume setting and correlates exactly with the moment when the soundcard switches on or off (indicated by the blue LED).
Is this normal for an USB X-Fi soundcard?
Does anyone have an idea how to fix it's
Help is appreciated!

Everytime I try to sync my mac calendar with icloud, the times get switched around and I can't retrieve them. Now I no longer know what time my appointments really are. I have to have my laptop with me in order to check my appointments?! This is driving me crazy. Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks!I'm not sure what you mean by the times get switched around, but you migh check on both mac and device in the Time & Date section of preferences/settings to be sure they are both in the same time zone.

I have a windows HP computer with windows 7 installed, when I try and update and restore my phone, I get an error message of there is not enough space on your computer to restore your phone. Any suggestions and help is appreciated.
You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod
I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

Screen keeps switching on and off in "off mode" :(
Hey
I have a K8T Neo (VIA) with BIOS 2.2 and I've had a strange problem for a while: when the screen is in off mode, it keeps switching on for 1 second and then off again. This happens every few minutes when the PC is on and the screen is in off mode. I'm sure this isn't good for the screen. It happens in Windows XP when I set the power options to "don't manage" as is suggested to get Cool & Quiet working. This didn't happen in linux with kernel 2.6.9 but it's happening in 2.6.12 (this is an upgrade from Kubuntu Hoary to Breezy).
Now all I can do is set the monitor not to switch off so that it doesn't keep switching on and off :(
Can anyone help?
Thanks
kLy
(btw. I know it's not a problem with the graphics card or anything since I've used the same card in my old machine which didn't do this)Sorry, here:
AMD Athlon64 3000+ Newcastle
MSI K8T-Neo (VIA) BIOS 1.9 (was 2.2)
512MB DDR400 Kingston RAM
Gigabyte Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
Seagate 80GB 5400rpm HD
Codegen 350W PSU
OS:
Windows XP Pro SP1
Kubuntu Breezy 5.10 with 2.6.12-9 linux kernel
I haven't noticed the problem yet using the 1.9 BIOS but maybe I haven't waited around long enough. I'll let you know.

Nokia 6021 - Switching on and off
I have just received a brand new Nokia 6021 to replace a 6310i which was developing a fault with the on/off switch after 4 years.
Well, the 6021 is just about impossible to switch on and off. My thumb is now strained after so many attempts. The only way to it is get the edge of something hard and press down really hard for about 10 seconds and then it will switch on/off.
Is that how it is supposed to work?Is it switching off & on without stop??!! anyway, if you have the chance to back up your data then restore factory settings or even using bluetooth to send that video to other phone first, if it's really not responding as you're saying, maybe a power cycle could be useful: turn off the phone by keeping the power button down until you feel 3quick vibrations and turn it back on after 1min, if your phone doesn't support this option, hmm... while am writing this i've had an idea you maybe changed where your camera should save pics so you might have it already on your MC, if not maybe anybody else here have better solution.

5310 switches on and off automatically
Hello everyone!
Could anyone help please? My 5310 XpressMusic switches on and off by itself! I thought it was a viru, but some people say it cannot be infected with a virus since its OS is Symbian. What makes me wonder is that it sometimes goes to Profiles automatically and starts to change modes, general, silent, outdoor, etc and in the end it'll switch off! What makes it do so if it's not a virus?
Thank you in advance!
Uthman,Your phone is not even Symbian, it is Nokia's in-house OS which absolutely cannot catch viruses. You must have a glitch in your software, try a software update (www.nokia.com/software update) or visit a Nokia service point - your phone is a fairly new model, so I imagine it must be under warranty still.

Since upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.1, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help. This never used to happen with Snow Leopard
This is a big thank you to Rys Sinnefeldt who posted this fix.
Rys has made this fix very easy to do and takes literally 2 mins. It involves replacing the Atheros Lion driver 4.0 and replacing it with the snow leopard driver. Don't worry, Rys has made this so simple to do even I could do it and so far I have had no more wifi drops.

Switching on and off hard drives is a big stress and reduces the durability / reliability?
In general, switching on and off (external) USB (2.0, 3.0) hard drives (2,5" and 3,5") is said to be a big stress and to reduce the durability / reliability negatively on them? Is that really true?
If yes, what would that mean for the settings for / in drives and / or Windows? How should one adapt them? What does that mean for the use of drives?Hello,
Normally it is good to have the unit turned off if it is not being user at a certain time, however USB drives from WD normally do not have Power button, except for older models. In my opinion is if better to have the drive turned off it there is nothing being done with the drives. -
hello my Mac Air is frozen on the grey screen (with the apple symbol, sleeping mode, restart-and off button), once you turn it on. I Can`t press any button.My Mouse still works. Battery is charged. Alt-cmd-escape doesn`t work It even after a forced shutting off, the problem is the same. what should i do? Thank you for your help.
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. The battery is distinct from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. -
Ipod switches on and off by itself - comp uter doesn't recognize
The ipod keeps switching on and off. When it goes on it shows me all the languages that are offered. Then it shuts off and turns back on again. This is done quickly and my computer can't recognize that the usb is plugged in. I'm able to put it in disk mode but I can't reformat my ipod in that mode. What can I do? It's been 3 days that I've been trying to fix this problem.
I've also tried reinstalling ipod and itunes from the disk but now itunes can't properly install - I keep receiving a message that says an error has occurred.
Please help!Hi,
Try doing a restore on your iPod. Hope this works.
