Dell Laptop Availability

I've been following a listing for a new Dell laptop for a couple of weeks now and it still shows as out of stock, both online and in stores. Any idea when I can stop waiting and start buying?

Broken product link - does not work.
Is it, by any chance, a Sandy Bridge (Core i7-2xxx) laptop?
Nearly all Sandy Bridge products were temporarily pulled from the market in late January due to a flaw affecting four of the six SATA ports in the chipset that is paired with Sandy Bridge CPUs. Fixed silicon is expected to become available from Intel in early/mid March. Intel has resumed shipments of the "flawed" silicon to system vendors who can guarantee that they won't ship configurations affected by the flaw (mainly systems with the affected SATA ports disabled/associated connectors removed. Probably if it is Sandy Bridge based the XPS system has an eSATA port or supports a RAID hard drive configuration, which means it is highly likely to be held until Intel ships fixed silicon.
If it isn't SNB based - you might be seeing an artifact of the fact that it was supposed to get replaced with a new system, but the replacement was unexpectedly delayed at the last minute. It kind of messed with all manufacturer's product line plans as they were ramping production of older systems down to make room for the new.

My iTunes suddenly stopped working and doesn't recognize any of my devices and gives me a AMD error. I've tried several times to uninstall all Apple programs and reinstall to no avail. I'm running windows 7 on a Dell laptop. It worked fine for years then I decided to update my iPhone 4S and it didn't recognize it or any other iPod or iPad.
Can someone please help ?

I am having all sorts of problems with 9.1.1.Crashes and not only iTunes but I have to restart all the time.

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How to configure Solaris 10 on a dell laptop to connect to internet

Hi,
I am student and have installed Solaris 10 on my Dell laptop using SUN's Virtual box. I also have Opensolaris on my laptop that is able to connect to internet using any available wireless because of its auto settings. Can some one please guide me with the steps or tutorial to configure Solaris 10 to connect to internet either by LAN or wireless(preferable)

Unable to have my dell laptop and a Nook Reader access my Apple Extreme Guest network

I have an AE base station (DHCP) to which my Dell desktop (windows Vista) is connected wirelessly via guest network (WPA2). However, both my newer dell laptop (Windows 7) and a Nook Reader cannot. They both see the guest network in the list of available networks but somehow they cannot access the guest network. I have an Imac and an ipad that use the primary network with no problem. Is there a specific setting I have to have on the AE base station? Thanks, any help would be appreciated!
Jojo

Have you gone into the Iphone extreme app and set up a passcode for the guest network AND also set it up as a WPA2 encription. I beleive BOTH the main passcode and guestpasscode have to be the same security setting ( WPA/WPA2 personal OR just WPA2 personal.

Linking Dell Laptop to existing/working Airport Express wireless network

Hi,
I'm trying to connect a Dell Laptop (Inspiron 2500) running on Windows XP to an existing and functionning Airport Express wireless network set up for my girlfriend's iBook. It works perfectly for the iBook.
I have outfitted the Dell with a D-Link wireless G USB adapter and I see the network (i have the password) and it says I am connected to the network (even says connection is very good).
However, when I open the internet browser, nothing.
The network set up is: Cable to RCA Digital modem (model DCM425) to Airport Express (via ethernet) and to computer.
I have tried playing around with the Dell Laptop settings (IP, DSN, etc ...) and I have called everyone involved (including Apple) to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nick
Dell Laptop Windows XP iBook

Thanks for the reply.
WEP is enabled. As far as the encryption, I'm not sure. I believe that it's 64-bit, as the password for the network is a five-letter word.
The funny thing, though, is that I had been using an IP address which I found on my girlfriend's Ibook, which allowed me to connect to her AEBS network, although the internet browser showed no connection.
Following directions from somebody else, I removed the IP address to enable DHCP, and then I was able to connect to other networks in the area (and the browser also connected to the internet) but I couldn't get onto her network anymore. Even with the password ...
Any ideas?
If i'm supposed to upgrade to 128-bit, how should I go about doing that?
Thanks again for the reply.
What encryption are you using?
Do you have WEP enabled?
The problem you are having probably lies with the
encryption key.

another option for you, might be, to configure your pc to "boot directly to the desktop" ?
http://www.7tutorials.com/how-boot-desktop-windows-8-skip-start-screen
On Windows 8.0/8.1, there are two "versions" of Internet Explorer (one is the "Modern" App, and one is the "Desktop" Application).
The Modern IE, already has Adobe Flash available to it, but some websites don't like it that way.
An alternative is to use the Desktop IE, which is almost exactly like the IE provided in previous versions of Windows.
There are some useful tips on how to get around, here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-8/getting-around-tutorial
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-8/keyboard-shortcuts
For myself, I use mainly Windows7, and some Win8.1 - on both, I have become used to using WindowsLogoKey+D (to get to the Desktop), and WindowsLogoKey+E (to open Windows File Explorer), and, WindowsLogoKey (by itself) to access the Start/Search functions.
You could contact Dell to see if they offer a Windows7 "downgrade" option for this computer, but MS don't sell Windows7 any more.

Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT is defective on Dell laptops; what about Macs?

http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/nvidiageforce_8600m_gt_is_defective_on_dell_laptops_what_aboutmacs/
Dell will offer 12-month limited warranty enhancement to all worldwide customers of 15 laptops with defective Nvidia GPUs. These Dell laptops use nine models of graphic processor units, and only one of them is also used on MacBook Pro models (15 and 17 inch models), sold from mid-2007 to now.
It’s the GeForce 8600M GT. What is Apple doing for these customers, and why Nvidia doesn’t say the name of all defective models?

This is a user to user forum. No one here works for Apple so you will not get an answer. You can try to contact Apple directly.

Help with enabling TPM in Task Sequence for Dell Laptops

Hi there,
I would appreciate some advice on creating a task sequence for Win8.1 with TPM enabling for Dell laptops; I have BitLocker set up manually with a Group policy, but want to have TPM enabled in the task sequence. I have read older posts on sites such as windows
noob, but can't see how to reference the CCTK and get TPM going for win8.1 in a SCCM2012 environment.
Obviously I haven't created this before so any help would be appreciated; I have noticed when I try to import my CCTK configurations into SCCM as it isn't a zip file I cannot do it.

Luckily Dell wrote a whitepaper about that subject, see:

How do I import my folders of bookmarks created on a Dell laptop to an Apple iMac and clean up the mess I've created trying to create a new set of folders and bookmarks on the iMac?

I have been unable to find and import from the version of Firefox on my Dell laptop to an Apple iMac the folders containing bookmarked website addresses. In the process, I've created a mishmash of unwanted bookmarks. Please provide me a step by step process to import the folders to the version of Firefox on the iMac. The process to accomplish this seems very awkward and counter-intuitive. The same goes for creating new folders and bookmarking website addresses to those folders on the version of Firefox installed on the iMac.

Chris,
Thanks for the tip about the Firefox Sync feature. A friend and I managed to use the Sync feature to "transfer" the folders of Bookmarked website addresses from the Dell to the iMac. We found that shutting off and rebooting the receiving iMac computer was necessary for all the folders to transfer over. Also, the entire process would have gone more smoothly had we had separate internet connections for the two computers, but we managed to shift our single internet connection between the computers as the Sync process progressed through its steps. Definitely a learning process.
Thanks,
Charlie

Java plug-in does not work on DELL laptop w/ ATI video card

Hello there,
I try to run Java Web Start on my new DELL laptop with ATI mobility radeon 7500 video card. When I run the SwingSet2 App, the whole system locks up, so I have to do a hard re-boot on my laptop. I found that this problem happens to other DELL laptops when I address this issue to my co-workers. Nevertheless, this problem is fixed when I run Java Web Start on some other desktops that does not use the ATI video card.
Have any of your experience this? Does any know any workaround for this problem?
Please help. Thanks.

I bought an iphone 5C and my music from my dell laptop doesn't let me sync my music into my phone. When i first bought it I accidentally pressed don't show again on itunes. How do I download itunes 11.1 or later now? I have been trying for atleast a month, but I can't find any solutions. I had payed a lot of money on those songs and albums, and now I can't even sync it on to my phone. I know it was stupid of me to press that button, but I need help on trying to get it to sync. -Mohima

You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

How do I connect a mac cinema display to a dell laptop with VGA output?

I need to connect my coworkers Mac Cinema display to his Dell Laptop with VGA out, running Windows 7. We have a VGA to DVi adapter, but it doesn't work. Do we need a different adapter or a driver? Thanks.

DVI-I offered by most computers has support for up to a wider-than-1920 Digital display AND a complete set of VGA signals in it.
If you have an adapter from DVI [computer] to VGA [display] it has no conversion logic in it and should be called a VGA extractor. It will NOT work the other direction.
I think what you need is a better computer or a worser (VGA) display.
