Haven't got to memtest yet but I will in a moment. Disk repair found no errors but AHT showed 4SNS/1/40000000: 'TmOP' , which some say is a heat sensor-like problem maybe?
I'm very disappointed with the "troubleshooting" that was done on the phone the other night with tech support.
Thanks for the replies.

Too good to be true?

intel core duo imac £399.97
this seems too good to be true are apple launching a new imac?
or is this the model befrore the latest upgrade? just seems a really good price!

It's one of the older Yonah iMacs and as it's "Out of Stock" it's probably not really available just sat there to score well on the price checker websites that will trawl for the lowest priced iMacs and hence list PCWorld at the top. (Call me cynical! )

HT1414 Can anyone shed some light on my problem with iPhone 5 please? I am 'stuck' in recovery mode and do EVERYTHING that's been suggested online. (Even Apple at Bondi said 'Oh...um...oh that' doesn't sound too good.') when I called them for help.

To say that I am livid would be the greatest understatement EVER made in the ENTIRE history of the planet. Last night my iPhone 5 decided it would go into Recovery Mode. (That is.....a Black screen showing the iTunes logo, a white 'up' arrow and with the white cable/plug at the bottom of the screen).
(Hold onto your Samsung Galaxys people - do NOT throw/give them away when you 'update (yeh right) to an iPhone).
So I turned it off and left it off all of last night. I arrived at work this morning to 'sync/restore' it with my computer where it asked me to install the latest version of 'whatever it is the latest version of.' HOWEVER, as I do not have the administrative rights to do such things on my work computer, I was unable to do so and now I have been riding the 'Apple Merry-Go-Round' since 0630hrs (WAST). It comes up with the following message in a window on the screen:-
'The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14).'
Gee - thanks for that - I'd never have known unless I saw that little window!!!! The fact that my screen has frozen and I am unable to install, sync or restore anything kind of gives it away!!!
'Just go to the nearest Apple Store' I hear you say. That is a 'tad' hard as I work in The Pilbara Region of North West, Western Australia (for 4+ weeks at any one time) and won't be back in 'civilisation' until next Monday week (10th of Feb, 2014)........Talk about being held to ransom by technology!! I have asked other people at work (who ALL have iPhones) and when I showed them the screen (& the whole ridiculous process) they screwed their faces up as they had never seen such a thing. Some people NEVER get asked to update/install anything on their phones.....So, I have to wonder why mine 'asks me'.......constantly.
I fear that my 'Apple' is not an apple but that it is actually a 'Lemon.'
Hey 'Apple' - don't let me get a hold of you!!
Oh yeh - the opening hours actually say Sun 10:00am til 4:00pm or even 6:00pm in some places.......how convenient - when you call (them on their landline FROM a landline) you get the engaged signal!

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

Is X48C Platinum Too Good to Be True?

Although I've built several MSI motherboard systems over about five years, I'll admit to never being more hesitant to start a new build than right now. I've literally been "on hold" since about November 2007, buying just dribs and drabs of components, but always side-stepping and delaying the motherboard purchase.
I want to stay Intel, I want to build right out there on the "bleeding edge" . . . a first in itself for me. This build will be pressed into heavy duty HD video rendering as it's primary, nearly sole, function.
OK, I'll say it - DDR3 spooks me, both its very high present cost, but more I'm concerned about its long-term viability. Maybe I shouldn't remember things like RDRAM & RAMBUS, but I do.
If DDR3 becomes the new memory standard - and it very well may - I want to be able to migrate to it easily, i.e., without changing motherboards. But I want to build NOW, preferably with DDR2.
So, very clearly, the NEW MSI X48C Platinum, with it's dual DDR2/DDR3 capability appears to be just what the geek ordered . . . but . . . where is it?
Literally the Internet (and especially various Sellers like Newegg to name just one) seems to be almost void of ANY information regarding this motherboard.
Even these fine MSI Forums are almost without X48C Platinum mention.
I didn't hijack an existing thread. Yes, maybe I rambled, but I'm a loyal MSI old guy geek builder in need of any advice and/or comments out there. Please respond.
Thanks.

I would go with Xeon based workstation mainboard from video edit system...... something based around the Intel 5000 chipset. FBdimm slightly cheaper than DDR3 and is now a proven product.....

Is this a scam? too good to be true?

Saw a ad in kijiji selling a brand new 440s for $1250 cash.
specs
i7 intel
Win7 pro
no touchscreen
fullHD IPS
8 GB RAM
256 SSD
3 year warranty
He says its brand new sealed in box. He wont open box until i am 100% sure to buy it. If I buy similar laptop directly from Lenovo canada it goes for $2,052.
What gives?

There's no guarantee you will get the price on eBay you expect.
Your original iPhone may sell for a decent price since there are still people out there who wish to use iPhone illegally on non authorised networks.
Personally I have lent out my original iPhone, got an O2 pay as you go SIM card for iPhone and given it to a friend to use to see if they can live with iPhone compared to their usual button led mobile (so far they have abandoned their button led mobile in favour of iPhone, so once they are out of contract with their current provider, I think there will be another iPhone dedicatee on the books)

ITunes 7 ...too good to be true... start menu folder problems

If any one out there like me and prefers to keep there start menu / programs organized then you might run into this ... itunes 7 automatically installs itunes into the directory directly under start menu/programs....and if i try to move the folder into a sub-folder such as start-menu/programs/media folders ... itunes will reinstall itself and make another new folder under start-menu/programs .... this is quite upsetting

hahahaha!
It said my ipod update was complete. Then when I go to disconnect it, it says "itunes is updating the ipod. are you sure you want to disconnect it?"
lol
it appears to be ruiening all the tracks on my ipod with its gapless playback.
looks like its time to uninstall iTunes 7, go back to the previous version, restor my ipod to factory settings and remove all the songs, then start over.
I love apple "upgrades"

Beware too good to be true

I recently switched from Comcast I've had nothing but issues with these scammers. I was told I pay 85 a month for the package special they are running for one year. First they took three weeks to setup before I could use it took three techs to setup and finally I was only using the service for a month. They charged me those three weeks and a month. I paid the first bill of 65.00 but then a week later I get a bill for 213.00. I've only used them for a month....they said the first bill I paid was for the partial month I explained I didn't use it until three weeks after the first tech showed up and the last tech fixed it. So please explain to me how they came up with that number again I didn't agree to any charges other than activation and setup for 49.99 so plus 85.00 for monthly how do they come up with 213.00 again I already sent them 65.00 they told me there's nothing they could do....so to save you a headache unless you are prepared to spend 300 dollars for setup don't use uverse cable and Internet. I knew 60.00 a month for a year would have a catch they don't tell you that when they promise you the world to get your business. Scammers! I wish I just stuck with Comcast.

Need more info.
What services did you get? Internet? What speed? Did you get TV? What level? Did you get phone?
Did you sign up online or by phone? What discounts were you promised?
If you would like help, there might be options. If you just wanted to rant, mission accomplished.

OEM Software....Is this Legal

I want to purchase DreamWeaver8 to do a Web site for a
non-profit agency. I want to make sure that the software I buy is
legal. I will not be charging the non-profit agency for developing
their site. I found a place on-line called ClubMx.com that offers
OEM DreamWeaver8 for a very low price. I'm sure it is too good to
be true. Is it legal to sell OEM software?

It's a case of too good to be true, don't do it.

Voice Track - Needs "Low End" or sounds too "thin"

I have created a voice demo tape for a job using Garage Band and was told by a professional that it's very good except that I need to add some "low-end" (20mghz) - that it sounds too thin... it may be my microphone (using the SnowBall) or the fact that I do not have a professional studio.
Can I use some kind of effect or tool in Garage Band to correct this? I am not an expert at garage band but use to mix music and voice for video work.
Message was edited by: ezvoice

What is "20mghz"?? Probably they want some boost in the low frequencies - go to the info pane of your track (cmd-i), click the Edit tab and play with the VisualEQ. Either by selecting a preset (like "Bass Boost") or by manually editing the EQ - it's pretty straightforward.

Can I connect a 27" Cinema Display to an ageing iMac? I have a Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter fronting a Kanex C247DL to complete the MIni-DVI to mini display port. Sound is good but screen is black.

I cannot update my software because I have too much 'other' GB space. Does anyone know what the 'other' is and how do I get rid of it?

How to implement a psophometric filter in Labview software without uising Sound and vibration toolkit?

Someone know the method to implement a psophometric or weighted filter in Labview software Without using Sound and Vibration Toolkit?
Thanks

The simplest way to implement a psophometric filter is to use the Sound and Vibration toolkit.
Anyway if you don't want to purchase it, you can have a look at this forum discussion and this one.

Running OEM software from other than Apple

I am new to Mac and took the opportunity to upgrade to the dual core unit as the best way to go.
I have subsequently bought genuine OEM software that claims to run on OSX 10.4 or above; however, I keep getting the following error message:
Cannot launch Java application
Uncaught exception in main method:
Java.lang.NullPointerException
I have installed all the relevant upgrades with no joy. Any thoughts?
Software in question is the 2006 Childrens Encyclopedia Britannica

I had the same problem. It turns out that Britannica is part of a whole family of software that won't run on the new Intel Processor Macs.
The Java library it relies on is not supported on the Intel Macs.
I have quite a few other programs that won't run either, like certain games.
