DV8210US - What should I do with this thing?

Any opinions on what to do with this laptop?
Everything still worked - it's stock except for adding some memory to it - 1.25 GB total.
The disk has been wiped clean.
Recycle? Try to sell for parts?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Jim

Whether you want to sell it or you want to keep it, just upgrade some memory with the new install of the operating system and test it by using it for a couple of days to make sure its got best performance and then you can sell it if needed for a better price.
But I will not be able to quote the value of this product.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

I get a dialogue box asking "What should Firefox do with this file" Options open with or save file. My wife selected save file and now it only opens note pad and displays the text of the file to be saved. OK in windows Internet Explorer.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

That could be a hardware problem with the screen digitizer but first try these troubleshooting steps in this order:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

What is the deal with this thing?

My computer no longer recognizes my ipod mini, won't charge it, or anything. It isn't responding to anything. I have tried resetting it so many times. All it does is show the "Do not disconnect." screen, and the backlight turns on when I press a button on the click wheel. My computer does not acknowledge that the ipod is connected to it at all, so I just diconnected it. However, the screen still says the same thing! I cannot find anyway to get some help off the Apple site. There are e-mail addresses or anything, which is completely annoying. My ipod mini is 13 months old and cost way too much money for this to be happening. Is it lost for good? What is the deal with this thing? Seriously, please help.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

When I open my computer and use it for a period of time it freezes up and it say Mozilla Firefox is not responding. What should I do with this?

This happened several times already that my computer freezes up and it says Mozilla Firefox is not responding. When this happen it takes a long time before I can use my computer, I would say one hour or sometimes it takes 2 hours. When it takes like 30 minutes of freezing up what I do is I force the computer to shut down by pressing start button.
And Ihttps://support.mozilla.com/media/img/markup/page_link.png wait for 3 to 5 minutes than I press the start button again to open the computer. When computer open up the Toshiba starts loading up all files after that I can use the computer for a while. I don't if there's something wrong with my computer or something else. I have Window Vista home premium.
Please help.
Thanks

Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.

From that article
"Portables with built-in batteries"
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

What should i do with this 5GHz setting?

right now it is left un-selected (by default) and the macbook pro, iphone and ipads are all connecting to the wi-fi network.
would this improve in any way if this is selected?
by the way, i am not in any of the countries in the drop down list ... would that matter / make a difference?

some more questions :
(have also posted this in the time capsule forum.)
with a 2009 1 GB time capsule running airport utility 6.1 on mountain lion :
should i activate the 5GHz option under wireless settings in airport utility?
should i rename it different from my regular network, or let it be named the same by default?
why are there only a few countries in the drop down selection list? i am not in any of those, so can i just cheat and select any one?
would my 2009 time capsule be capable of dual band transmission, not just the 5GHz ... the wife and some visiting guests run android phones and MS laptops.
what would run faster because of this 5GHZ option .. just my macbbok pro, and not my iphone and ipads?
i've not managed to figure these questions out by googling, so hoping someone weighs in here.

I have just updated my mcbook to OS X Mountain Lion and Mail hasn't worked properly ever since, it keeps asking me for my password. What should I do with this, anyone could fix this?

I have just updated my mcbook pro to OS X Mountain Lion. Then Mail hasn't worked properly. Before I updated it, I could use Mail and it worked properly. I have been trying to fix it by stting my e-mail account but it didn't work

Sorry, if I sound silly on this next question, or string of questions, but:
What does EFI stand for?
Is it an acronym for something?
I thought that my MacPro is 64bit? Well that is as far as I remember the salesman telling me, back when I did the B.T.O spec.
I am running 64bit apps [in full 64bit mode] as far as I understand. Like the CS suiite.
If I look at "About Photoshop…" it says — Version 12.1 x64
Doesn't that mean that it is running 64bit apps?
Or are you saysing that the "entire operating system" / "bios" or whatever it is called in Mac language, is not actually capable of running as 64bit?
I need to find my box, that came with the MacPro, ans just have a look at the info that is detailed on it. As as far as I can remember there was even a big "64bit" flashy thing, somewhere on the outside of the box.
But in the meantime, if you can perhaps help with the earlier questions.
And perhaps one more …
Where woudl I find the info / persons that I could investigate that "Hack", as I may need to investigate that a little. If anything just to be better informed, for the future. At the end of the day, if I have to scrub the entire Mac to the beginging, and reload everything, so be it, at least it will be a learning curve in the process.
I have all the legal software installers etc, so all that it will cost me is time, if it does "kill" the operating system …

My iPod Touch 5th generation is faulty, first the home button stopped working and now it's died completely, won't charge but I can feel the screen is heated. What is going on with this thing?

I bought this iPod mid-March, I've only had it for a little less than 5 months. I bought it at Best Buy, I don't know if that matters or anything- I have a geek squad and apple warranty. I'm only nineteen years old and this was my first real big purchase and I'm very disappointed. I've had other iPods before and never had any issues with them, my last one lasted from 2008 - 2013. I take very good care of my iPod Touch, never dropped it or anything of the sort and I keep it in a thick case. This iPod worked fine up until recently. First the home button became unresponsive, I had to activate the assistive touch because I use this iPod for school work. I was about to take my iPod into Best Buy so they could take a look at it and see if there was anything they could do before I contacted apple, but now my iPod is completely dead. It won't respond at all. I had to disconnect the charger because the iPod screen was getting hot and it wasn't charging. It's been disconnected for a few hours and the screen still feels hot. I'm really concerned, especially with recent news reports of handheld devices overheating and burning people or even exploding. Will the apple warranty cover this so I can get a new iPod? What are my options?

If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.

What should I do with this error message:

Two days ago I opened Photoshop Elements 7 and received this error message:
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Hard disk5\DR5
I have uninstalled and reinstalled and updated. Restarted the computer and I still get the same message.
Please someone help! I use this program often. Thanks.

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

What should I do with this fusion-icon error??

There seems to be an issue with Intel and Compiz. To launch Compiz you have to always enter the following command into a terminal (as stated in the arch wiki).
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true compiz --replace --sm-disable ccp &
This works for me, however I have no idea how to make it so Compiz auto starts on login. Simply pasting this command into "sessions and startup" doesn't work.
If anyone knows how to set Compiz to auto start with the above command on Xfce4 I would be grateful.

What Should I Do With It?

Hey everybody,
Here's my scenario. Have a wireless network at home, with the following computers attached to it: MacBook, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Mini, and Apple TV. Going to be running off of my 1TB Time Capsule when it finally gets here.
I have come across a slightly used PowerMac G5 in near mint condition. It's running 10.5.2, just like my other machines. My question is, what should I do with this thing? It's got an Airport Extreme card installed, so it's "live". There must be something cool I could do. What do all of you think? I realize I'll probably get some sarcastic responses, and that's cool. But I would appreciate some serious ones, too!
Thanks!

Hi Jonathan Aley;
How about listing the specs for this newly found PowerMac G5? That might help to get the ball rolling for you.
