Compaq 610 Keyboard working then not working and so in circle

Greetings to all good members of this forum .

TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

HT4259 When I'm trying to extend my network using airport extream to airport express via LAN, the express is finding the network, then not completing and getting error message that it cannot connect, any advice appriciated

I'm using a virgin superhub, turned into modem only and connected airport extreme, wireless network setup and working
From the airport express I have a LAN to my office where Im trying to get a airport express setup as a extended wireless network
The express is finding the extreme device and network, it then won't connect and I get an error message "an unexpected error occurred. Try again"
Any help appriciated

I'm confused, did you mean to say Extreme here instead?

Clicked on Send for a cmposed email but it was not sent and the symbol circling showed something was happening.

I clicked on Send for an email I had composed. All that happened is that the rotating symbol showed that something was happening but the usual message that the email had been sent did not appear within about ten minutes. I have had this problem occur occasionally with Firefox on this computer and on another one. I have lost parts of a number of emails due to this problem as the version I tried to save had more in it than in the last saved version.

The timing does make one think the two things are related, but it may not be so. I've spent hours debugging problems thinking they were related to coincidental occurances, when they were not, so do not make assumptions. If you are concerned, take the phone to an apple store to have it checked out.

Autosave not working, and cannot Save Version in any Mac app

I am no longer able to save a version in a Mac app in Lion.
I was working in TextEdit and suddenly got an error message telling me the document could not be autosaved. I had saved it once manually. Doing a Command-S generated another error message saying the file could not be saved.
I tried duplicating the file, and the duplicate could not be saved after the initial save. Moving the file to another folder didn't help. I also tried putting it in a Dropbox folder - that didn't allow me to save it, either.
I did a Repair Permissions and that didn't work. I logged out, powered down - no joy.
I created a test account (administrator) and I was able to save there, and auto save was working.
I CAN save documents in apps that don't work with Lion's autosave normally. For example, Word 2011 will save just fine. But TextEdit, Pages, etc. will not.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the same problem as decribed by LeVeau, while working with Pages. This started to happen a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, I could not solve the problem the way he did. I booted my MacBook hitting CMD-R, had to unlock my startup-disk because it is encrypted (as hinted to in the comments of his blog post). When I repair permission, the windows notes "Running" and the turning circle just forever. It never stops. I let it run through a whole night, nothing happend. When I close the window, I get no warning or message or whatsoever. When I reboot, the problem is not solved. I also tried Applejack to solve it, but it apparently can't work on the encrypted disk in single user mode.
Does anyone have an idea on what I am doing wrong or what else I could try? The plist-files mentioned above are not in my library, so I could not delete them. I would be greatly thankful for any help.

Recently, Firefox updated, page opens but then nothing, it will not continue and load up

I have Firefox browser on my laptop. It upgraded recently and does not work. Page will come up but then 'not responding' and remains that way.

Check the home page setting.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
You can try to delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

My keyboard preference is not saved.

Hi,
I use OS X version 10.9.2 and recently my keyboard preferences are not saved and it's highly annoying since I need to change it every time I restart my computer. I have a Swedish keyboard and I want to use the Swedish leyboard layout. But everytime I re-start my computer it changes back to US keyboard layout. It has never done this before. I don't know what is wrong. Anyone who has had the same issue and know where to problem lies and what I need to do to fix it? In that case I would be very grateful!
Thanks!

I Already did it around 5-6 times before asking in the forum Unfortunately that was why it was so aggrivating. It kept changing to US although I deleted it.

How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped working.

How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped.

I find it's touchy. Tap anywhere on the note to bring up the keyboard. If you tap and hold, you won't bring up the keyboard. Just tap momentarily.
If you can't get it to work, try restarting your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If it still doesn't work, try resetting your iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
Yes.
Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
Reseat is also good.
The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
Never an issue.
Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
Want cheaper, try this:

The NEC chipset is the desired chipset, regardless of what OS the maker says is compatible.
OS X has native NEC chipset USB support.

My dongle is not working with compaq 610

Hi,
I have Compaq 610 laptop which is around 2 year old and it is working fine. Last week i brought "Micromax MMX352 3G USB dongle" but is is not working on my laptop.
Problem is that when i put dongle inside USB port, first it appears that laptop has detected the USB and try to install all dongle related software (automatically from Dongle stick) but suddenly (during installation), after around 1 min, USB sign disappears from laptop desktop and from device manager and after few second USB sign appears again in both laptop desktop and device manager. This process continue indefinatly.
Because of this Dongle is not able to connect as it shows message that "No device".
I have tryed the same USB dongle in different desktop (assembled and other company) and laptops (other company like HCL) and it is working fine.
Normal Usb stick (Pen drive) working fine on my laptop.
I have tried everything like:
1) Check device manager and uninstall "USB mass storage devide" (comes after putting USB dongle in USB port) and then USB dongle start installing automatically same process happens as described above.
2) Check the bios for USB port status and it is On.
3) Also disable windows firewall
4) Disable Virus protection software.
any help pls....

Hello ashishgarg
What model laptop do you have? When I search for the Compaq 610 I see several laptops and want to make sure I provide correct steps for your model.
How Do I Locate the Model Number on the Service Tag
Since the USB dongle works on other computers the problem seems unlikely to be a problem with the dongle. Have you tried a different USB port on the laptop? Also are you using any type of HUB or docking station to attach the dongle? Based on your description it sounds like midway during installation the device is “disconnected” and “reconnected” to the computer.
I have experienced a similar problem on my own personal laptop where sometimes dongles that are large, aren’t held well enough in the USB port. This can be for multiple reasons. One case I had was the USB dongle was a bit heavy. As a result the contacts would disconnect as its weight pulled it down. In my case the solution was to put something on under the dongle to “hold it up”. This prevented the disconnecting.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Keyboard is not working and laptop will not start up

I have an HP 2000 Notebook PC which dropped and the inner screen cracked. I had a family friend repair and was told the keyboard is no longer working and when you turn on it the black screen goes from "Diagnosing you PC" to "Preparing Automatic Repair" CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST!!!!!! I do not want to pay geek squad if I can fix on my own

If you already had a family friend try and he was not completely successful, then you need to have someone do it who really knows how. It is your choice of who that will be.
You can download the diagnostic softpaq and install it to a usb flashdrive. Once it is on the flashdrive you can boot to it and then test the keyboard. That way you will know for sure if the keyboard is not working. Perhaps the keyboard ribbon cable was damaged during the attempted repair. Ribbon cables are quite delicate.
We are here to help, but suggesting repair services is not part of what we do..

Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Portege M200 - Keyboard is not working and I can't boot from CD/DVD

Hi
I recently tried installing VM Player on my Toshiba M200. When I rebooted my machine I found my network connections did not work. I tried to uninstall the VM Player but it failed half way. As the program had created a number of virtual network connections which I could not delete I went into the registry and delete 20 or so entries I thought where related.
I rebooted and found my HID Keyboard and Wireless devices not functioning. So I began using the softward ketyboard to try and fix the problem. I was able to reboot and login using the software keyboard until I did a restore to last normal boot setting. At which point, instead of getting my login window I get a message box asking me to press Ctrl-Alt-Del. When I do so using the software keyboard I get another window saying because of security I should press the Windows Security Key instead of the Ctrl-Alt-Del. When I press the Windows Security Key Button on the bottom right side of the screen nothing happens.
What can I do. I have also tried attaching a USB CD drive (Philips) but cannot get the notebook to boot from it. I get an error message (so I have got it looking for CD boot drives) saying the notebook cannot find the drive. The CD lights up during bootup but only for a sec.
I am desperate so please let me know what options I have or what I can do about this. The physical keyboard works during the bootup until the Windows first booting screen appears. No Caps lock or such working by the time I get to the login screen.
Thanks in advance for any advise you can provide.

Hi
A long story about your issue... I think the reason of this is why you have deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the Windows registry you should really know what you do. You can damage the complete Windows system!
So I think this is the reason why the keyboard doesnt anymore.
In the user manual I have founded that the CD-ROM booting option is only available with optional optical disk drive.
So for me it sounds like that your USB CD drive is not compatible to the notebook
