Fan doesn't come on at all but no error messages

I previously had a HP laptop that kept getting a cooling fan error message on startup. I updated the BIOS and tried a few other things suggested by HP support but nothing worked. I ended up ignoring the message, pressing to continue and usually after a couple of minutes the fan would kick in and it would be all good.
For Xmas, my hubby bought me a new laptop rather than pay $$$$ to get old one serviced and I just realised that I have never heard the cooling fan on at all with this one (15-r038TU). This new laptop gets very hot but I have NEVER had an error message about the fan - but it's very obvious that the fan is not turning on... ever.
I have updated the BIOS today but there has been no difference. Any recommendations? From searching these forums I can only find people who DO get the error message. I'm not getting any error even though my computer gets really hot and the fan is definitely not running at all. Obviously cooling fans are a big problem with HP. Think I'll be going with a different brand next time!

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I am sorry you are having issues -- it is particularly tough when the computer is unaware it has a problem.
If the fan is not running and you continue to use the computer, then it is only likely to damage the computer and things will get worse instead of better.
You should contact HP and talk to a Technician. This is the course of action when the computer indicates a hardware problem -- throwing software at it won't make the fan spin.
If you MUST continue to use the computer for business reasons, then by all means, protect your data and stick a notebook cooler under that notebook right away.
Please back up any critical, personal data to an external source -- that is, somewhere other than on the computer so that you can get to it. USB Drive, Cloud, somewhere...
The notebook is covered by hardware Warranty -- call for help:

ITunes new version doesn't open at all. Gives error message

I downloaded 7.4.3 version of iTunes and it doesn't open at all. Gives error message. "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I have previous version of iTunes in my spare HD, in the same computer, and it works perfectly fine.
I have unistalled and re-installed again and again many times including with the help of Apple Support help in the phone and came up with no clues of what's going on.
How can I get a previous version of iTunes to download to my PC? I have looking for a place on Apple's website where I could probably have my issue resolved, but I found nothing.
Thank you.

Thanks to Jim Zack, the problem is solved.

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

How can I clean a mailbox and remove all but the latest message in thread, and more...

I am using Thunderbird version 24.6.0, for years I have been saving every email into a mailbox folder of a technical email alias I subscribe to.
The folder now has over 12,000 emails and I am exceeding 700 MB. Is there an Addon or tool of any kind that allows me to automatically in one fell swoop delete all but the last message in a thread assuming all prior messages included all prior messages in thread, BUT here's the hitch, if someone responded out of order to a thread or did not include prior messages, their message should be saved since it will not appear in the prior string of messages.
I can draw it out better than explain it, I want to save all responses to a thread, except those that are captured by the final message in a thread, or....
| Re:- topic1 a. don't save because all included in "c"
|- Re: topic1 b. don't save because all included in "c"
|- Re:topic1 c. save
| Re:- topic1 d. don't save because included in e.
|- Re: topic1 e. save
Thanks! ed

I have no idea on how, but your file needs to exceed 4Gb before there will be any kind of issue (and the guys think they have removed that limit not anyway)
Thunderbird will not move slowly or anything with lots of messages.

In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.

HT5731 Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. Let all of the apps load in the window. You can see how much storage you have used and how much you have left. You will need about twice the size of the download of free storage in order to be able to download the movie. Also, the iOS will not let you use every bit of available storage on the device.
You can delete content in there if needed, but if you sync with iTunes it's a good idea to transfer purchased into iTunes and backup your iPad before you delete content. If you use iCloud only, backup with iCloud before you delete any content.

HT201299 Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   When I try to use Safari.
Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Pacman running but getting error message

Hello all. I am new to Arch Linux having just installed it this weekend. I ran an FTP install just installing the base packages at first. I originally had difficulties getting the internet configured correctly but after checking the wiki I am up and running.
When I run pacman I get a message that there is an invalid locale (or incorrect - I am at work and forgot to bring my notes with the exact message, sorry). It then says it will use C as default. The packages install without issue, but, wanting everything to be "right" I have to ask if I have something configured incorrectly? If so, just head me to the right config or even the wiki page if I missed it.
Tonight I am working on getting xorg and gnome up and running. I have enjoyed the install very much and I have learned a lot so far. I am looking forward to learning more. I am so very please with how fast Arch loads. I have been used to bigger installs with lots of things I do not use.

Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.
First, when trying to sync ipod touch to Itunes, nothing happened. After that, Itunes suggested downloading and installing updates but now updates will not finish installation correctly and launch error messages. Any ideas?
TKS !

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736B3s, or a different error code? If they're different, what codes are you getting in Windows Update?
