Computer was working fine, but now is having issues.

I just got a new laptop last week, i installed Arch Linux correctly (UEFI) And everything has been running fine until today, i ran some updates and updated things like linux-headers and other things like that (Not 100% what all was updated at this time). I powered off my computer a few different times today, i had no issues, then about an hour ago i went to turn it on, it went through the grub menu successfully, then started checking blocks, then it shows a blank screen but the backlight screen is still on, ive rebooted at least 5 times to see if that would help with it, i also kept the battery out for about 30 minutes while having it unplugged, and now its been sitting on that screen for about 20 minutes.
Not sure why this happened, it makes no sense, the HDD itself (1TB SATA) is fine, but nothing will boot, it pauses right where SystemD normally goes through the hardware check.
Is this a known issue? What could have caused this?

Ok so you guys were right on both parts, Linux Kernel did update (I thought just headers did, but i was wrong) And my Video card updated as well.

Hi Forum, can u please help? iRecently bought a mac pro & my garageband 11 was working fine but now it's showing a question mark in the dock but it won't open. I think it may have been accidentally trashed. I've searched the trash & spotlighted. What now?

How did you install GarageBand on your Mac? Did it come preinstalled with the other iLife applications?
If your MacOS supports the AppStore, you should be able to redownload GarageBand from the AppStore, see this support Article: OS X: About OS X Recovery on how to download again:
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

Hi! I brought an iPhone 4 off my friend at work. The day I brought it, it was working fine but now I can't seem to send any messages or make phone calls. The network is showing up fine but each time I try to make a call it says "call failed" help any1?

Hi! I brought an iPhone 4 off my friend at work. The day I brought it, it was working fine but now I can't seem to send any messages or make phone calls. The network is showing up fine but each time I try to make a call it says "call failed" I can't seem to send any messages either? I can use the Internet fine and everything else on the phone. Can anyone help?

Hi chelsinator,
You can reset the phone and it won't cause any problems or cause you to lose any data - Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears.
The other thing you should do is to reset your network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to set up your Wifi again, but that oftentimes clears things up.
Cheers,

I have an iPhone 6. For the first two weeks my bluetooth worked fine but then started having issues. Now, although it shows that it is connected to Bluetooth, I can't hear any of the calls. The radio continues to play. Please help!

Hello there, Srushevics.
It sounds like you may be having issues with the connectivity of your iPhone with the Bluetooth in your vehicle. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting that Bluetooth connectivity with your iOS device:
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
To resolve the issue, you'll need to first sign in to iCloud and review your devices:
Sign in to iCloud on your iOS devices and Macs with OS X Yosemite (available this fall).
On one of your devices, tap Settings > Bluetooth and look under My Devices. You'll see all devices that are connected to Bluetooth, but make sure that you see your Apple devices that are signed in to iCloud and are using iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite.
Sign out of your iCloud account from any devices that you don't want to use. To sign out of iCloud on an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out.
Then, remove any inactive devices from iCloud:
Sign in to iCloud.com.
Select Find My iPhone.
Select any devices that aren't active anymore.
Wait for Find My iPhone to stop trying to find the inactive device.
You should see the option to remove this device from your account. Select it to remove the device.
After following the steps above, restart the device with the issue. Then try to use it with your Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
Note: Nothing will be deleted.

I have an apple 2 for about 3 months and everything was working fine but now I can't access safari what can I do

I have an apple2 for about 3 months and everything was fine,but now when I try to access safari it doesn't open what can I do

Have you tried a "hard reset"? If so, I would take the phone to an Apple store. If not,
1. Make sure the phone is OFF
2. Hold the HOME button and then press the power button and HOLD IT.
3. Hold both buttons until the phone comes ON, goes OFF and come ON again (about 45 seconds)
4. Re-sync with iTunes.
Hope this helps.

Hi my iPad mini was working fine but now is just a blank screen will not respond to any buttons or connect to I tunes

My iPad mini was working fine then screen black and will not. Respond to any buttons or connect to iTunes

Plug it into the wall charger an wait for at least 30 minutes.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I am getting the sec_error_bad_der error when accessing a site. This was working fine but now comes up with this error. Chrome and IE work Fine but Firefox show

I using IBM Flex hardware and firefox is the recommended browser. I cannot access one of the IO modules in the chassis I get the error sec_error_bad_der and problem loading page. Other IO modules are fine and it works in IE and Chrome I have uninstalled and reinstalled the browser. Please can you assist.

I had to look that one up: [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.acc.8721.doc%2Fio_modules.html]
That error normally refers to an ssl cert error. Does the cert for that particular node use ssl3? [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.acc.8731.doc%2Ftroubleshooting_mobile_system_management_app.html] or is it different from the others?

I downloaded Aurora a few weeks ago and it was working fine but now it's not starting when I click on it and it's quite a nuisance. Please help?

It doesn't start when I want it to and I have to use Chrome. Is it a problem with my computer or Firefox?

So you did a force quit and now you are trying to start it again right?
If so and the "beachball of death" is still spinning, deny the machine it's power source, remove the power cord and the battery and any periphials you have plugged in ie: extra drives etc. Let it rest for a minute plug it all back in then try re-starting in safe mode. If all is well shut down and restart normally.
If you get this far repair the disk and permissions using Disk utility.
Hope this helps
here is a link for the safe mode start-up: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455

My iphone 3S camera was working fine, but now the pics are getting very blurry. I've already tried cleaning the lens. What else should I try doing?

My iphone 3GS pics are getting really blurry. At first it didn't happen. I`ve tryed cleaning the lens, but it didn`t work. What else should I try doing?

I would call Apple tech support, which is excellent. Or take the phone to your local Apple store - not AT&T or Verizon, as the Apple techs specialize in Apple products and are somewhat fanatical about them.
Regarding the photos, they are probably still on the simm card in the phone and recoverable. Check with the Apple folks to get them back... sorry about your pet!

I export an ACCESS table to an existing Excel file. Seemed like it was working fine, but now I see that it DOES NOT clear the file first.

Thus - if I transferred 10 records last time, and there are only 6 to transfer this time, it replaces records 1 thru 6 in Excel, but LEAVES records 7-10 in the Excel file ??

When you export the access Table to an existing excel file ,you should get the message like the screenshot below:
If you click 'Yes' ,a new workbook will created ,the problem you mentioned doesn't exist.
Maybe you can try to export data within Excel. On the Data Tab->Click
From Access->choose the database file, then when you update your database in Access, these data will updated automatically.
