Fired up my desktop after having it stored for 3 months in my buddy's closet, no soun

It was all boxed up and everything.
I don't have speakers to hook up to it at the moment, but tried 2 sets of headphones in every port that exists that they'll fit into. Also tried them on the laptop to verify they weren't faulty, which they weren't, they worked.
Any ideas? I uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, reseated the card. Windows recognizes that the card is there and is working fine.. just no sound..

Hi, try this...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • QIP7100 again showing activation failure (after having worked fine for a month)

    So - my newest control box (motorola QIP7100) is not working.  When I first got it it kept failing to activate and giving me the error message:  MoCATX Rate (84 Mbps) is low.  Verizon saw my message in the forum and were able to correct the issue remotely.  The set worked fine for a month, but now it is showing the same error again.  There were no changes to the TV or box, no power surges, nothing.  Does anyone know what I can do?
    Thanks

    Hello Romney68,
    I responded to the message you sent me. Let me know if this issue is still existing.

  • ITunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.

    It's fully updated to iOS 5 and was working fine until now. Running on Windows 7 and worked flawlessly till this point. Any tips? I already uninstalled and reinstalled. Only security software I run is Microdoft Security Essesntials and that has never been an issue. At a loss here.

    iTunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.
    I open itunes and a message comes up after a minute "itunes has stopped working". I got the update automatically to my Windows 7 64 bit pc 10.5.0.142.  After reading tons of probelms online about version 10.5
    I have decided to do nothing for now.  Seems people are putting hours into trying to fix it.  I was going to uninstall and reinstall but seems that isn;t working for to many people.
    How do we get some help from apple? 
    Anyone have any answers???  APPLE HELP please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Intslling Creative Cloud on my Desktop after i bought it (the $10/month package) and installed it on my Laptop?
    So how can I install Creative Cloud on my DESKTOP after I bought it (the $10/month pack) and installed it on my LAPTOP.  I am assuming I don't need to buy it again!?

    Hi there
    Your membership allows you to activate the apps on 2 of your computers so you just need to follow the same process to install Creative Cloud on your desktop: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html

  • When I check my iCloud backup it says it has never backed up and when I try to back manually it gives a message of " estimating back up time" and doesn't back up even after having left it for many hours?

    When I check my iCloud backup it says it has never backed up and when I try to back manually it gives a message of " estimating back up time" and doesn't back up even after having left it for many hours?

    Yes I have tried that last weekend ad this weekend. I have tried wi fi at different times of the day too; in case it is speed issue. I have tried selecting only backing up limited content and not every thing per what other users suggest.
    It's maybe either the router is lousy or there is something wrong with my software or hardware.
    Appreciate your thoughts
    Thanks!!

  • My ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially died?

    my ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially die?

    maybe you can control the room temperature.... i try to charge iPod shuffle beside the mini fan, so heat from shuffle can blown away... or maybe, you can charge the iPod in Air Conditioned room....
    i think this device have a mechanism to cut off the charging process if device temperature too hot. such a safety system so this ipod won't burn out when overcharging.
    i hope it can help you...
    and trust me IT WORKS....

  • LR5: Why can't I import my pictures again after having them used for editing in Lightroom?

    Hi!
    A week ago I was editing 800 pictures of my last holidays in Lightroom 5.2. After having them exported I noticed that I didn't check the quality settings for export, so I wanted to import the original files again.
    And that's where I'm having issues right now. I can't open them anymore. Though they are all availabe, they are shaded in grey and are not selectable:
    Going back to the original holidays folder, it strikes me that it's only possible to import such pictures which I haven't picked to edit in Lightroom before:
    I tested other original files of pictures I already edited in Lightroom and they work. It's only about these holiday pictures. The exported, edited holiday pictures appear in Lightroom for importing. It seems like Lightroom has problems with the original files which has been imported to Lightroom once. An Update to LR 5.6 didn't help. Has anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thanks
    Patrick

    You don't re-import photos in Lightroom. There is no need to do so and this only would cause problems.
    Instead, for those photos that you cannot import, you simply find them in the Library Module, and continue to use them (if you want to export them again at different settings, then you export from the existing photo in the Library module)

  • My thoughts, ?s, experiences with my new zvm:60 after having a 30gb for 5hrs pr

    This is my first post here. I am a forum user so Ill try not to be a troll. I did get done pouring over the threads here for hrs too.
    So I went shopping for my first media player a while ago. I read all the reviews I could on every player known to man (CC is a great retail web site to get reviews and the bay). Well the Zen:M seemed to take the cake as the best player for a demanding seasoned tech user. And really just plain over all.
    So I bought a 30gb player from a private online seller (you can guess) and after getting it up and running found all the reviews to be true. Infact I even loved it more than I anticipated. However my experience was cut short. I had finished using the player, turned it off (it fully shut itself down), placed it in my coat pocket and draped the coat over a chair when it suddenly fell out of my coat onto a hard wood floor. Now the unit was in a thin silicon skin and could not have fallen more than 2ft (more like ft) and that was all folks. Dead as a door nail. No power up, no ?help me? when connected to the comp, no rest button, nothing. All it did when connected was flash the power/hold button charge light abnormally fast with a clicking sound? Huh? I think the battery somehow came disconnected. ?To anyone reading this, are all these fine players this sensiti've to vibration? Yeah I know its a HD player, and no one wants to see their player dropped, so is this the norm?
    Which brings me to my new ZVM60. Love it. The only difference I notice, other than the size (getting to that) is it seems the touch sensor is slightly more sensiti've. Great, I like that! Now the size. It should be noted that as of now this 60gb player is WIDELY mis-documented as being the same size as the 30gb. Infact a well known web retailer I bought this from is a culprit of this also. I also bought an extended 2 yr warrantee after this past incident. However Im having a real hard time finding a skin or case for it. The leather one doesnt appeal to me sorry. I searched the threads here and am finding nothing. Anything new come around since? Id love to get a ToughSkin for it but am not holding my breath. I dont mind having a player that by all standards is a TANK. Just let me protect my tank. On that note, anyone know why the 60gb is bigger? I thought all PCMCIA HDs were the same size.
    Lastly, Im using this player with a properly maintained XP computer with WMP0. I rip all my store bought CDs at 28 in WMA. This and some ripped vinyl is how the player is primarily used. Am I missing anything? Also the player has firmware ver .0.04 , is it worth updating? Im kinda leary to update having been around BIOS flashing nightmares back in the day. Will I loose all my data doing a firm update? Also, I dont know if anyone out there is doing this but I heard the newer Alpine car stereos can work with a bare bone external HD filled with audio files. I got that info from a few reliable sources. Anyone doing this and know what file format these heads are compatible with? Id rather not have to keep my Zen in the car if I dont have to risk it. Also any takes on how Im doing things here are more than welcome.
    So in conclusion I love my Zen. Id simply like a good skin to protect it with?? The GF has a coughPOD video, will see what she thinks of this not so little guy. Also will keep all up to date on any findings I have. Please do the same.
    Dave

    I will check out the web site. On that note thanks for it. However, as stated in the thread, the 60gb, EVER SO SAD, is a bit thicker than the 30gb. Im really praying some skins come out. Ive been playing with this player all night long. ON THAT NOTE, people complaining and having issues with the bass. I know where you are coming from. However a semi solution can be had with playing with the vol limiter in combo with the bass boost func and the custom EQ. Im sure this is no news flash to most techies out there. However being an audiofool (aka audiophile) and knowing a little about the hardware involved in all this. I have a really bad feeling, and bad track record of being right on this when Id rather not be, that this is infact an OP-AMP issue and power dedication issue too the afore mentioned. Firmware or not, you play with bass boost and EQ and there is no way to get this player to dedicate enough KICK, as its been termed here, to the headphones without distortion. I think this may be WHY there hasnt been a working firmware fix to this issue. I think some may not realize, as the old analogy goes, a chain is only as stong as its weakest link, and I have a BAD feeling that the OP-AMP is that link holding this fine player back. No bad feeling to those in the design depo. I know how cost concerns go and who those who dont know JACK dictate construction. Im sure you all tried your hardest to design the best player on the market. You suceeded in all regard IMO. Creative may be making some SERIOUS mistakes by not properly supporting their prodigy birth but dont give up on designing some killer players for us who do notice and infact buy. We buyers who do infact know and buy what is really best rely on you R&D and Designers out there, who I hope somehow read these threads, or get a heads up now and then, that we praise you and thank you for doing what no others out there do, by designing a player that really does meet the expections of the small market that has a brain and appreciates what you do. A small thanx to those that really matter. Keep up the good work! You do infact matter in an age where real genius gets overlooked. Dave?

  • After having no internet for over 24hrs, my IPad has completely shut down. I have tried everything I can think of, including a reset but think that was a really bad move!! Any ideas for how to get my pad back? Simple words please..I am not a pro AT ALL.

      My internet was down for over 24hrs after a storm. During that time, my IPad completely shut down and I can't get it going again.  I studied the manual but couldn't find a similar topic.  I reset it and now it is totally goofed up.
       Does anyone have any ideas or should I just take it to an Apple store and pay??  Any solutions you may have, PLEASE use simple words as I am not a pro, by any means....probably why I'm in this situation.
       Thank you in advance.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Several iphone 4s apps quit responding on a given page even after being successfully used for dayseven after having been used for days

    I having been using iphone 4s apps for days and suddenly 3-4 on a given page will quit responding. The apps on other pages continue working fine. I am unable to open these even if I shut them down and reopen them or reboot my iphone. I have had to remove and reinstall some in the past. Any other solutions?

    Which of the basic troubleshooing steps described in the User Guide, Appledix B have you tried already?

  • TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

    I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is  'stuck'...any suggestions?

    Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

  • Photoshop cs3 extended asking for serial number and activation after having the program for over 5 years now

    for some reason the program out of the blue is asking for a serial number and activation.  I can't find the case anymore.  does anyone have a way I can contact adobe directly to see if they can help me solve this problem. 
    Everywhere I look points me back to the forum or troubleshooting menus.
    thanks

    It may think you have a different computer if you've changed some of the hardware recently.
    Did you purchase the software as a download or register it with Adobe?  If so, your serial number may be available from them directly.  Click first the red A logo at the top of this page, then drill down through [Manage Account] to see the products they have on file for you.
    If you've physically lost your serial number and never registered it with Adobe, it's like losing a wad of cash on the street.  You're responsible for holding onto your valuables and no one's going to step up and replace it for you.
    The Creative Cloud Photographer's Bundle subscription package is still available for $9.99 a month, as far as I know.

  • SE-YARI- Can't connect to 3G network after having used it for almost an year on the same phone. :(

    HI, i use a sony ericsson Yari phone that i bought in March '10, and i have been using BSNL 3G network on it for quite some time now.. But for the past few weeks i can't connect to a 3G HSDPA network. at times the display shows "NO access to network" and at other times i can't make calls from the phone though the phone shows coverage in the top left corner in the display.. My phone has been updated with the latest software upgrades. Reinstalled the software from the SE site through update srvice twice last week. What could possibly be wrong??
    My doubts are:
    1) Is it a prob i can troubleshoot myself or does it need to be given to the service centre?
    2) If it has to be repaired at the service centre, how long will it take them to resolve this prob? I ask this specifically because the last time i gave my phone in for some display prob they took an annoying TWO MONTHS!!
    I love my phone.. And i can't live without intrnet on the go.
    P.S. Let me put in some additional info.. the phone works fine on the GSM network and the GPRS is ok too. Jus that the slooooow net speeds test my patience.
    Yes, my phone supports 3G , my network supports 3G and my sim is a registered 3G sim. (and pls MODS, don't advice me to chek if ther is 3G coverage at my location,coz ther is and i ve been using 3G for quite awhile). The sim and the network work fine on any other phone when i checked(incidentally, on a Sony Ericsson ELM).

    I know you checked the SIM in another phone and it seems OK, but it might still be worth trying another 3G SIM in your phone.Otherwise, it could be an issue with the SIM card module in the phone.
