Dv7 Left hinge pulling case apart? What the heck!
I have a dv7 that is very rarely used (I think I purchased it in 2012). I noticed recently that my hinges are making a lot of noise/struggling.
Tonight I realized that the left hinge is completely busted and pulling the casing apart. The laptop is clearly out of warranty, so I'm guessing I have no recourse. I came upon another thread on this forum where HP was fixing the problem on other dv7's, but I'm not sure if those people were still in warranty or not.
Any help or advice?
Thanks!
I'm having the exact same problem with mine! Same model, Envy DV7-7227CL. I've seen a lot of the forum posts about Envys in general having this issue. I've only had mine for 14 months, and it's been a stationary laptop to replace my desktop (also an HP). It's really upsetting that all you have to do is open and close the screen regularly for this to happen.
Mine hasn't broken away yet, but once I realized the case was starting to pull apart, I applied some eletricians tape to the area and stopped adjusting or moving the screen. Has HP offered you any solutions on repairs out of warranty? I'm pretty pissed that I'll have to spend money to fix what is obviously a manufacturer's defect, but I need my laptop to be able to open and close.

Red X on bottom left corner of palette VIs - What the heck is going on?
I have a subpalette of my own VIs in user.lib that have red 'X's on the bottom left corner of them. I have been ignoring it for a long time, but it bugs me that LabVIEW is trying to tell me something is wrong and I don't know what it is.
All the ones with the 'X' are members of a class. They work fine with no problems. The palette items are all pointed to the right place. The class doesnt' seem to have any problems; I use it all the time.
I have never seen this before, nor have I yet found a place where this indication is mentioned either in LV Help or the online KB. It does nto occur anywhere else in any of my other usr.lib libraries, classes, or subpalettes. I have edited that library, class, and rewritten the mnu file over trying to clear it out, but no luck.
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS THING?!?!
Solved!
Go to Solution.This sounds like an issue described in CAR 185059 where VIs belonging to a class inside an lvlib have a red X on their palette icons. It has been fixed in LabVIEW 2012.

My PowerMac G4 smells like burning plastic -- what the heck is going on!?
I have experienced the burning smell before, but almost a year ago. Yes, my machine is eight years old, but I still love her and have been doing whatever I can to keep her alive. The only major surgery I've done, is switched from the Samsung power supply it came with, to a lower powered Apple one. It had been running fine (and quieter since the power supply switch) until today. I powered the computer ON, left it for maybe 20 minutes, and when I came back, the first floor of my house wreaked of burning plastic/electronics. I shut the computer down and left it off for about four hours. Powered it up again recently, worked fine, BUT still emitted that burning stench (though can't tell if it was just blowing around the smell from before or heating up again...).
Does anyone know what the heck is going on with my beloved PowerMac G4 (mirrored drives)? I already purchased a used PowerMac G5 as a backup -- just in case I have to pull the HD from my G4 and move on -- BUT any help to fix my G$ would be most appreciated. Thanks. NvNick,
The first thing to do is to trace the smell if you can. The most likely source of heat is the power supply. If a capacitor leaked somewhere the computer might not work but my money is on melting wire insulation. The wire would still let power get to components but smell of hot insulation, thus it works but smells.
If you are careful, you can remove the power supply from the computer and open it up to take a look inside. If you have a spare CD-ROM drive, you can plug it into the power supply just by itself. Take a paper clip and short out between the green wire and a black wire on the motherboard molex connector (the rectangular one with the most wires going to it.
What you will have on your work bench is the cord from the wall outlet to the power supply, the power supply itself with the cover off, the paper clip jumper and the CD drive. If the paperclip is in place, the fan on the power supply will turn on. The tray for the CD drive should open and close. That will tell you if the power supply is working. If it also starts smelling, then you have isolated the problem.
If the smell comes from any place else, look for signs of melted plastic. One would hope that a fuse would blow before wires short out because the heat is a sign of high current draw.
Try that much and post back.

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing
When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply. -
What The Heck Is Going On Here? Do I Need a Scan And How?
Okay my friends, maybe some of you could give me a clue what the heck is going on.
For the first time EVER, I keep getting this dialog box cropping up. It says something like Motorola Phone on top of the dialog box, and Incoming File Transfer for what seems to be a JPG image...Like HUH????????
I've had my own computer for over a year now and never got such a thing before. I click the decline button each time it crops up. How do I get rid of this annoying thing..I don't dare accept and open it since I don't even know what the heck it is.
Anyone ever get this?? Anyone have a clue what this is? It's friggin annoying...want to get rid of the darn thing but wouldn't know how..like I said I've never gotten this before.
Now I know Macs aren't supposed to get viruses and some of my PC user friends have suggested that maybe I try to get a virus/spyware scan and directed me to a few freebie places...I just don't like the idea of downloading anything and particularly from a freebie place
If any of you do have any kind of freebie scans that you have used that you know are to be safe could you tell me which?
I did shut down my computer then rebooted...hoping whatever kinks I may have gotten may have resolved itselfIn the right conditions, Bluetooth can work up to 30 feet, and through walls. It can't do anything unless you let it. Look in the "Bluetooth" system preference. See if anything shows in the left column. If so, you can select it and see information about in in the right column. Click on the gear at the lower left to see if there is an option to ignore that particular device, or if you aren't using Bluetooth, you can turn it off with the upper-left checkbox.

What the heck is a print album?
Used to be very simple: select a photo, hit command+p and configure the printer; click print, picture comes out. Now I get a Print album? What the heck? all I want to do is print ONE photo; can't figure it out. I get this double pane thing at the top and when I click print it tells me I have no selected pages(?).
ALL I WANT IS TO PRINT ONE PHOTO AT A TIME!!
I can't believe that it's actually EASIER to print from Aperture and Photoshop now than it is from iPhoto.
How very 'Microsoft' this has become.
What am I missing?????
Message was edited by: Rich CirminelloWhen I do what you say I get a window that has "Standard" selected in the left column and a blank white page in the main window. If I click print I get an error message: "No pages from the document were selected to be printed"
So then I hit "Cusomize" and I get the Print 'album.' I can see my image in there, but still can't print it (the screen shows a blank preview).
See screenshots here: http://gallery.mac.com/amorphic8#100010
image 1: select an image to print
image 2: what i see when i click the print icon or command+p
image 3: error message when I click 'print' from previous window
image 4: what I see when I click ok from the error message
if I click print on screenshot 4, I get the error message (image 3) again.

Cube will not boot... what the heck?
I bought a cube yesterday and it will not boot. This is what has happened so far:
New hdd
installed Tiger
ran updates
restarted
ran more updates
restarted
would not load fully.
Got to Mac OS X loading screen with varying degrees of success, but it always stops loading and the blue bar freezes. Single user startup works. Safe mode a no-go. Fsck finds nothing wrong with disk. I can't eject the disc that's in there no way no how in order to reinstall OS.
Another oddity: Target disk mode says the disk is unreadable, and says it's 7.1 GB when it's 38 GB. If I initialize the 7 gig bit nothing happened.
I put the drive into an external firewire case and reformatted it but I still cannot get the DVD drive to eject.
What the heck? This puppy passed all the tests yesterday just fine! It was ready to rock and roll until this happened! I am very frustrated! Please tell me my 300 bucks wasn't wasted... I need this computer for my business.
The only thing that I realized might be wrong is that the HDD was in master mode when I first put it in. The drive I removed was in Slave mode (this was the factory drive). I have tried to boot it up in both CS and Slave mode and neither one works.Hi! Try holding down the mouse button at startup to see if you can get the disc out. You made a calculated mistake that went wrong.
"New hdd
installed Tiger
ran updates
restarted
ran more updates
restarted
would not load fully."
You probably used Software Update to update the software and sometimes it doesn't work. You should get the install disc back in and then try an archive and install of the os. Don't run any updates until you are sure the system is stable. After you are sure it's stable you can download the 10.4.11 update HERE instead of using Software Update. Tom

I am trying to pay my bill online. However, when I click the "submit" key, it tells me my "nickname" is incorrect. What the heck is a nickname? I have never had this trouble before.
Had the same problem. Here's how I sorted it out, not including yelling at my PC or ranting in my own thread (that's optional): First you want to delete your saved payment option. If you try this and it does not delete, log out and back in. It should be gone. Now re-enter your payment option (credit card number or whatever you are using) and if it asks if you want to save the data for future use, make sure you give it a nickname that doesn't include any special characters. Hope this works for you!

I am transfering songs from one computer to another using home share. Both machines are authorized in home sharing. The songs import from (my) windows computer to the other (my wifes) authorized MacBook Pro, computer just fine. Once the songs are in the library and i try to sync her Iphone (4s) to her computer the songs ar greyed out and i can't play them nor see them under iPhone after sync is complete. What the heck is going on? BTW, the songs that i have imported are either songs i burned from a CD or songs i have purchased from the iTunes store, so they should sync no problem!? Help please.

What the heck is going on with my Virtual Memory??!!
I'm not really sure why but when I check activity monitor and see my VM it says i'm using anywhere from 230-270 gigs of virtual memory. This is literally fresh out of restart when it says this much and never changes. I go through and check every process I see runing and create a quick estimate of the virtual memory being used, and it's definitely not over 10 gigs if even 5; honestly I think it's listing between 1-2.
What the heck could be causing this? Verified HD and came up clean. Should I be concerned? I'm not gonna lie this macbook isn't running the best it used to be. Watching videos, whether mp4, mkv, youtube, is pretty laggy. I'm aways sure to close all other processes to to try and maximize video performance, not that it helps much. I'm considering a fresh install and recovery via timemachine.I excluded the list of fonts from step 4 as I'm a graphic design major and have well over a thousand...and I didn't want you to burn up your scroll wheel or rub the tips of your fingers off with the amount of scrolling you'd have to do had I included them .

What the heck is iTunes uploading?
After a frustrating week trying to use iTunes match, I've finally gotten a good chunk of my library in the cloud. The problem is the remaining 10 gigs: all live DJ sets that are roughly 2 hours long. They hover around 180 mb each, so under the limit.
Problem is, I cannot get these to upload at all. I got lucky with one, and another matched, but the rest have been a boondoggle. I've tried many things, and as an experiment I decided to remove all of them from my library, add JUST ONE back into my iTunes, and then keep Activity Monitor open to see what exactly is happening.
And this is what I get: I added back in a file that is 189 mb large. I started the transfer about two hours ago. With Activity Monitor open and set to the Netowrk tab, I originally had "Data sent: 18.38 gb". I verified that I didn't have any thing else really doing any uploads (every once and a while I'd see "Data sent/sec" spike to 1k/second or so, so I figured it was probably just Mail checking my inbox). Now it's two hours later, Data sent/sec has ranged from 40k/sec to 90k/sec (darn ADSL's slow upload speeds). But here's the kicker, I see "Data sent: 18.69 gb"
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but a 189 mb file added to 18.38 gb should equal around 18.58 gb. Which means that iTunes has magically uploaded an additional 100 mb or so of data. Even considering the fact that, since this is an mp3, it'd get re-encoded into an AAC, I find it very unlikely that we're talking about a 50% decrease in compression efficiency, and keep in mind that the upload STILL ISN'T FINISHED. In fact, as I write this, it's now at 18.73 gb data sent and no sign of stopping.
Does anyone know what exactly is happening here? This mirrors my experiences with my first few attempts at uploading these sets: 10 gigs at once, but 6 gigs of uploading later, not a single one had finished. WHAT THE HECK IS ITUNES MATCH DOING??? I'm seriously considering canceling and seeing if I can get my money back, since I mainly cared about being able to stream these sets onto my iPad.Uh just to update, at around 18.77 gb data sent, data has stopped being uploaded from iTunes. Except it's still not done "uploading" the one song. So now I guess it's officially hung. WHAT'S HAPPENING???

I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 for my IMac. I downloaded CS6 and out in my serial number and it worked fine for a number of weeks. Suddenly when I went to use it it said it was a trial version. I had to register it to use my CS6 I registered it and it worked, but only as a Trial Version of CS6 Extended. I do not want CS6 Extended. I deleted the trial version of CS6 Extended from my hard drive and once again downloaded my upgrade of CS6 and put in my serial number and it worked fine for a couple of weeks. Today, once again, it tells me it is a trial version and will not load unless I register the trial version. What the heck is going on? This is crazy. I simply want to use CS6, for which I paid. Help!

About a week ago, I had no problem clicking on pictures to open them to bigger size.....As of about 4 days ago - If I try to open a picture on Facebook, it shows the comments but no picture..I don't know what is going on!!! It works fine on Safari, but I would much rather use Mozilla for my own selfish reasons, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON????? ( I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING!!!!!)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week ago.....I agree the phones are supposed to come with the battery and battery door missing that is policy of every wireless company. The problem is that the rep that you spoke with wasn't being as thorough as they could have been to ensure that you got complete equipment, is was a processing error from the first representative. Most of the information for exchanging a phone is auto completed by the computers as well so when the rep processes the exchange they don't have any say so as to what is actually in the shipping box so being that you didn't activate the droid 3 on your account when you called in about the missing battery and complained the computer only recognized the droid x because that probably what you had activated on your account, so that's why the second replacement was droid x equipment and not droid 3
