Diagnostics?-What I paid for

Can anyone tell me what a good set of software tools is used to determine all of the speed settings and characteristics of things like "am I getting 800FSB?" I'm really new at this and I'd like to at least know if I'm getting what I paid for. Thankfully, the system is stable and I'm not upgrading bios until it's all ironed out as I don't have the complete skill set or patience -really- to deal with a ton of instability issues. I know about some software tools like cpu-z, MBM, speedfan and wpcuid(31a). Is this all I need to find out this info? I'm still most concerned about my sata drive (only drive in system) as I don't think it installed correctly, but it is working at least. here's the stats:
Winxp sp1
865PE fis2r
antec true 430 dual fan -damn that's a lot of wires-
seagate 120 GB SATA 'cuda
lite on Combo dvd/cdrw -nice drive btw-
Intel p4 2.8
geil 2x 512 pc3200 value ram (nice blue spreaders!)
MSI gf5600 vtdr128 --should I set agp aperture in bios to 128??--
no tweaking yet, just out of box and stable...
standard cooling minus 1 side fan that wont seem to work
feelin' noobalicious

Intel have an excelent utility to test the CPU, if you really got the one you paid for and not an overclocked one.

Downloads from itunes fail - error code 8003 - what does that mean, or more importantly, how do I get what I paid for?

Try the troubleshooting for that error code on this page : iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - Apple Support (search for '8003' on the page, it's just below half-way down)

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy. Can anyone help

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

Why redeeming a code is so complicated? We need valid reason and explanation to get and satisfied on what we paid for. Make things easy, not messy.

I did that link you refer to me (manually and using camera). But still nothing happens, always prompted "not properly activated" or "invalid code". And i did follow the instructions how to send an issue/problems/case regarding itunes card code query.
My apology dude.
I did change country/region, itunes store country, apple id, but still prompting FAILURE "The Gift Certificate or Prepaid Card you entered has not been properly activated." Does it mean it needs to activate by Apple Inc. before i can use it? If that's the case, everytime i buy an itunes card, i need to go Apple Support? Is that so?
Please help me dude regarding this matter, i know you're well knowledgeable about apple systems.
Thanks in advance.

HT4095 Half my TV season won't sync to my iPod Classic. I just want what I paid for.

I downloaded the series of a TV show in HD and SD, but something must've happened in the middle of downloading because now only the first half of the episodes are also available in SD, even though they were ALL available in SD at the beginning of my download. So now I can't watch the other half on my iPod. (And iTunes won't let me create an "iPod version." It won't let me click on it after highlighting the four episodes of that season that won't sync to my iPod.)
I feel like I have been completely ripped off on this purchase because of it, and I don't know whom to go to about it although I've been attempting for almost an hour. I just want what I paid for. :/
Help me, please? <3

There is a way to sync your HD tv shows and movies to your ipod. When you go into your itunes account - select purchases - select TV shows or movies, select the show or movie that you want to sync, now on the bottom of the screen uncheck the box that reads download HD when available. This should create a standard definition show for you to sync to your ipod. Hope this works for you!

I have a serial number for Acrobat Pro 8 that won't work. I can't upgrade to Pro 11, so I am shut out of using what I paid for?

I was just given a "new" serial number for my Acrobat Pro 8, but it is the same number as the one I got from the
Adobe site-- and does not work. How can I use a program I paid for without buying Pro 11 brand new?

What message do you get, exactly? (Please don't include the serial itself).
Is this using the original CD that came with the Acrobat 8 product?
Does it say anything about a "qualifying product"?

Not What I Paid For

Friday, December 21, 2012 Adobe Elements Complaint/Chat
I have been waiting more than 30 minutes for a chat....This is ridiculous. So, here is phase one of my complaint!
Good Afternoon,
In 2009 I purchased Photoshop Elements 7 and I was excited that I would be able to do wonderful projects for my family and friends. Sadly my enthusiasm waned and I thought all my problems were user error…even the $54.00 book that I purchased didn’t help much. And I thought it was user error again. I kept taking photographs, kept uploading photos, kept sending emails unsuccessfully, kept making slide shows to share with family and friends which was also unsuccessful most of the time. The last slideshow successfully uploaded was January 24, 2012. Today I found out after spending $135.00 that my problems were not always user error. Not being a techie, I did not know why I was getting the error message when trying to send emails from within Elements…now that is fixed. But the greater problem is not fixed…and every year I have been paying around $45.00 for services and storage (I have paid for 40 gigabytes of storage for at least two years, maybe three and I have only used 3 gigabytes. Know that I have tried many, many times to upload and share my photos. With each unsuccessful posting my frustration grew to the point that my passion for photography was waning.
So, this is the situation: I have been paying for a service that I cannot use and the computer tech that worked on my Sony Vaio said it was an Adobe problem…most likely you no longer support the contract that I purchased for the 40 gigabytes of storage. You had no problem taking my money, and you continued to take my money without notifying me that my contract was no longer supported by Adobe. Actually, the contract is due for renewal in February and I bet you would just send an email saying my credit card has been charged!!!!!
Since I have not been able to do the projects that I intended to do for the past two years, I request a refund of the monies paid for your service. I have already spent $135.00 on a problem that was not mine.

Can't burn what you PAID FOR!

Are you freaking kidding me! I paid for music on itunes so I could use it at my wedding but the DJ asked for an MP3 of the playlist and all the songs I bought on itunes are protected and won't burn! Is there any way to get around this??? Suggestions PLEASE!

Are you trying to burn them as an MP3 CD or an Audio CD. You should be able to burn them to Audio CD and use that like any normal CD but to burn an MP3 disk the songs have to be in MP3 format to begin with. Check your burning preferences, Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Burning, the Disc Format should be Audio CD.

Does cancelling order refund exactly what I paid for?

No restocking fee or anything?
Seriously considering cancelling, because I'm having doubts I'll get it on time.
Tried to get on the live chat, and for the entire hour all I got was "one moment" and "one moment ok".
I swear to god the representative stalled until 9 o'clock until the chat automatically closed.
Thanks everyone.

Yesterday, July 25,2013 I bought 4 songs from iTunes,and I received an error code saying the purchase could not be made and to try again latter. I went and checked my bank account and saw that the purchase had been made. I get on iTunes again today and it says that I did not buy those songs,so I bought them again and they downloaded this time. The 4 songs costed $4.92 and I bought them a second time for $4.92. I spent $9.84 (my math was off when I emailed them I told them $9.92). Now I have to wait until they email me back and so on. Has something similar happened to any of you? BTW this isn't the first time this happened to me.

I got those emails and they said I have to wait 48 hours. I know I have to be patient. I just posted this to see ancd find out if this has happened to anyone else. I had incomplete tracks too and I solved it. I just deleted the song from my library and redownloaded it or a different version. Until my problem is solved I think I won't use iTunes store for a while.

HT3842 How can i delete a movie on my iPad that never downloaded and when I try to download it it says sorry cant be downloaded at this time,try again later??? I just want t delete it so I can try to start over and watch what I paid for?? any ideas???

I need help deleting a movie on my ipad that says installed but never downloaded. if i try to download it i get a message that says " unable to download .please try again later" Any ideas??? BTW the movie downloaded onto my mac but not my ipad...

oh and this message is also on my iphone 5
now with the phone I do have some options that I dont see with my iPad 3. but I stil do not see a way to delete this dang conversation
I get the same message when I open it from my iphone 5..."there was a problem connecting to facebook" there isnt a problem though
if i swipe left I see standard Friends at top, below it listsclose friends, family, then a help center, account settings, privacy settings, log out, etc. I dug around there for a while but didnt see any option to delete messages.
if i swipe right I see the word Favorites at the top. above that is a search option. to the right is a weird little symbol kinda like a wheel with gears on it. if i click that it gives me the option of Turn off Chat or Cancel. I did both, it just greys out the friends list that appears. If I click a name, the previous conversation appears. nothing to delete from there, just contact info if I click the i symbol or back to news feed.

Sign in ? you know sign in so you can use what you paid for

I need to wipe out my hard drive and i need to download my music and guess what, your site tells me how to change a light bulb and how to do every **** thing but sign in.
I typed in search How do i sign in? ZIP, NOTHING, IT KEEPS TELLING ME I HAVEN'T "REVIEWED" SO IT SAYS SIGN IN AND THEN IT SAYS REVIEW AND THEN IT SAYS SIGN IN AND THEN IT SAYS REVIEW AND YOU ARE THE BIGGEST LYING LOSER THIEVES BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN SIGN IN

If you're referring to music you've purchased from the iTunes Store, you cannot download it again. You get only one download per purchase. Signing into the iTunes Store - which you do by clicking the button that says "Sign In" at the upper-right of the iTunes Store window (when you've selected the iTunes Store in iTunes) - won't be of any help. So back your music up before you erase your hard drive.
And I AM going to say "be nice". We're all just your fellow users here, so there's no point in shouting and ranting at us. If you want people here to try and help you, be calm and polite (regardless of what kind of day you might have had, there's no call to take it out on us). Otherwise you'll do nothing but irritate the very people who might be able to help you.

HT1498 I had error 8008 come up on my downloaded file. It won't let me download what I paid for? How do I fix this or get a refund?

Error of 8008 comes up with my downloaded file. How do I fix this on my Apple TV or how to get my money back?

gbraye,
Is a single month student subscription an option, or using another computer?
The failure to download is owing to the facts that you can only have a trial once, and the Adobe system is based on identifying through the computer.

HT201359 Paid for item on a game, got a receipt for payment, never received what i paid and the link to payment screen from itunes does not work

Paid for an item on a game, cost 55.00 quid, moneys out of my account yet what i paid for i have nothing.

Any help please would be great, cheers

You can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Apple Support ignores me completely, there is no way I can complain about lack of feed back and I even have paid for a protection plan!

I have paid for an extended support through the Apple protection plan. Frankly I do not understand what I´ve paid for as there is no support and no plan, except ignorance and waiting time.
I have had and still have serious problem with my Mac Book Pro, and spent loads of money on phone charges with mainly negative results. All I have "achieved" is wasted time. I just wonder if it is only me who feel totally helpless as the Support People are not really helping. I´ve spent approsmimately 200 USD in phonecharges on their support phone, so far. But that is nothing compared to the hours spent waiting for answer and listening no absolute nonsense. Finally I went to an Apple store who sent the machine in for repair, and one fault was the motherboard. However I could still not connect with my Time Capsule and Aperture seemed to have lost all my photos. This all happende after upgrading to Mountail Lion. Also the cable network isn´t working. I can easily see on the net that I am not the only one with problems. I´ve ended up with solving most of this myself, except the network connection. It is still not working.
I am actually deeply dissapointed with Apple and I cannot find any way to even forward a complaint. Not that I believe it would help, but at least I´ve tried. I also think it would be fair to to get my money back for a product I´ve paid for which obviously isn´t working, namely the Apple Care Protection Plan.

Hi, so you suggest I should be grateful for getting what I have paid for? Sorry but that's only getting what I paid for. Add to that, that this has been against the phone support I've used a lot of time and money for! I don't feel anything but hopelessness for the total lack of customer support. An expensive Mac Book Pro shouldn't fail after 2 years in the first place! But failure may of course happen with the best products, and Apple as well. The real fault however is Apple's arrogance and failure to fix it! Instead of getting help and guidance to a solution, I used hours and lost days of work, and was made to pay a lot for total unusable "assistance". I was even adviced to hold back on taking the Mac Book Pro to a store, as I was told the support person a senior, would figure it out. Well Apple definiately squezzed the lemon! Since the Time Capsule/Time Machine system didn't fuction I was also in a stale mate as I needed assurance that My files wasn't lost when delivering the machine for repair. I was adviced that could happen. Quite a deadlock wasn't it! As an expert on Quality Assurance I was also suffering lost revenue in my work for clients. I finally had to buy a Samsung Ultrabook as working machine and backup, a neccesity as Apple obviously cannot be trusted when needed. Bill Gates and Windows has one advantage over Apple, they know things can go wrong and hence have much better support. Apple support is a maze were only the strongest and most persistent get through. I am one as I didn't accept being treated like that. That's the only reason I finally got a repair. However the machine is still not functioning as mentioned. I have a case number, a phone number and mail address to a senior support person, whom I've been trying to contact for more than a week, He has still not responded to my mails or phone calls. I cannot even figure out how to contact Apple to complain about such ignorance. Note by the way that here in Norway I must pay to call support and more often than not there is more than half an hour waiting time. I might spend hundred of dollars in that "game" without even knowing that I will get the support I've paid for and only keep paying even more for wasting my time! This is simply not good enough, it is no less than arrogant and wrong! I frankly think Apple is doing a big mistake with such por treatmen of their customers.
