First build, having problems

Second day scanning this board a bit, trying to get this system to work. This is my first time building my own computer... and so far it's been giving me insane ammounts of trouble.
What I can tell you:
MSI Neo 2 939 socket motherboard
AMD 64 3000+
Two 512 RAM, 400 mhz
200 gig maxtor hard drive
Liteon DVD writer
Couple other details... don't really know what you need to know.
I've replaced the power source 2 times, using 3 different power sources. I read in many places that the problem was there was simply not enough power. I'm now using a power source that is 34 amps in the 12v line, god i hope it doesn't need to be higher.
Yes, I have both of the power lines connected into the motherboard.
What happens upon each attempt to turn it on is, the power flashes on for just a second, LED light's lighting up and fans spinning for probably no more than a second. Then the power simply dies, everything stops and there is no signal. I have tried replacing a number of wires, though i honestly can't quite tell which part of a lot of these wires is the actual signal wire and the grounding wire.
Any clues, any tips would be wonderful, cause I have no idea where to go from here.

Dillius,
is your hard drive the maxtor 10 with 16mb cache, if so there have been some issues with these drives see Maxtor 16Mb Cache HDDs & Neo2 Problems
Quote
Slipstream to make a new Windows 2000 install disc
- good idea
Suggestions:-
1) Plug maxtor into Sata 4 socket
2) unplug the spare optical drive until install is finished.
3) Install floppy & upgrade bios to v1.4 - this may help your maxtor see K8N Neo2 Platinum v1.4 & follow this guide carefully Flashing the BIOS for Users using NON FAT file system
4) continue running with 1 memory module in green slot 1, memory seems to be an issue , (even running in the right slots 1 Green 2 Purple ). Once install is complete need to run memtest & get manufacturers timings.
good luck

Everything put together. Tried to boot, hit delete to enter bios, nothing, just sits there. Tried resetting CMOS same results. Any ideas?

Now that my head is on a little straighter(the steam finally vacated), I'm guessing my PSU isn't nearly up to the task with only one 12v rail with 18a. Ya'll concur? Looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194010 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817812002 Comments? Suggestions? I want cheap(as in inexpensive not "catches fire and burns up everything") and reliable. Trying to do this build for as little as possible.

To buy in for delivery in Qatar, you should be starting from the Apple Qatar site:

Do you have an Apple-ID? if you do, then you should not have to enter your Address again, and may be able to sidestep the US Zip Code issue.

I'm having problems backing up my iphone 4 to icloud since 13/04/2012. First it says it's going to take about 5 hours, then it says backup failed. Following instructions-connected to wi-fi, plugged into PC

I'm having problems backing up my iphone 4 to icloud since 13/04/2012. First it says it's going to take 6 hours, then it says backup failed. Following instructions-connected to wi-fi, plugged into PC & locked the phone (though never had any problems like this before), but still no difference. Any ideas/similar problems?

unfortunately there are tons of people with this issue but Apple has not given any answers for us to fix this issue yet. I wish they would allocate more people to solving these problems when they roll out new versions of itunes along with new hardware.

I'm having problem with my iphone4S first when i updated software to 7.1 after a month or so wifi turned grayed, second when i tried to turn off in the night as soon as i turn it on battery empty now its totaly dead. What should i do with it?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.
btabz
I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

This is my first iPad and am having problems setting up apple ID message tells me ID is not verified - help, feel such a wimp!

This is my first I-product and I am having problems getting going. Can't buy apps as ID is not verified - I have tried but no luck, help!

When you sign up with an e mail address, apple will send an e mail to that address to verify it is really your, and that you are the one setting up whatever you are doing. The same process happens if you change your e mail, or add an additional e mial.
So watch you in box in that e mail account for an e mail from apple. You need to respond to it to confirm the set up.
If your provider has a spam filter, check in there. Some aggresive spam filters block the apple e mail.
Lastly, some report that they never get the email, cannot respond, therefore cannot set up whatever they are trying to set up. If that happens, try an alternate e mail address if you have one.

HT1657 I am having problems with sound in my rental movies

We rent movies all the time but lately we are having problems with sound for our movie rentals. We watch the first half hour without a problem than the voice is choppy all the time. Sometimes it is good for five minutes than noting for a while. We have tried everything we could think of with no avail. I could see one movie but the last 5 or so have been the same. Done trying we need to fix this! Help! Any ideas?

First try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
If you still have the same issue, it's possible that something is lodged in the earphone jack. This can cause the iPad to think earphones are plugged in when they are not. Use a vacuum to try to suck any dust, lint or other foreign matter from the jack. If that still doesn't work, try CAREULLY using a toothpick.

You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
And how much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

I am having problems rebooting my mid 2009 macbook pro (grey screen other issues), need help!

I am having problems rebooting, I have experienced the same problem as others with the grey screen but my case is a little different, It started with my mid 2009 macbook pro acting a little slower than normal, the screen would freeze, mouse wouldnt move and i'd be forced to "force reboot" this went on for a couple of days until i was tinkering with the wifi connection and it froze again. I had to reboot and this time i noticed that it took a long time to get to the login screen. i put in my password and it went into infinite load (i also tried the guest account and other accounts with same result). i tried rebooting again and the same thing would happen. after several reboots, the screen just stayed grey, sometimes with the apple logo and gear sometimes without it. Since its a 2009, (and for the most part, still works like a champ) i decided test the ram, i took one stick of ram out at a time to see if i could notice anything wrong with them. when i stuck just one in, the mac was still having the same problem rebooting. i pulled that ram and and stuck in the other and i noticed that this time the apple logo never appeard and a big crossed out circle appeared. figuring that the ram must be the problem, i ordered new ram and installed it. i noticed that when i rebooted for the first time with the new ram it was rather quick and took me straight to the login screen and i was able to log in with no problem. at this point i thought the problem was solved, but i noticed the macbook still acting funny. at first, none of my files appeared on my desktop or in the finder window. after about 20 minutes, everything magically popped up. i also noticed long pauses/freezes with the colored pin wheel spinnig. i closed the laptop and opened it again and the screen just stayed black. i tried rebooting again, and again i got the grey screen with no signs of being able to log in... i waited about 20 minutes and tried to reboot again and again i was able to log in, however the macbook is still acting slow and will freeze with no signs of unfreezing without a reboot.
my macbook is 5 years old and has plenty of miles on it, so i understand if the thing needs to be replaced alltogether but does anyone know what could be the issue? could the bad ram have corrupted the hard drive in anyway? would re-installing the OS fix it?? and if so, how would i do that if i downloaded mavericks from the app store? are there any other solutions to this problem?
all my files and what not are backed up on an external HD so theres nothing on it that i'd miss desperately if i had to whipe the hard drive but id really like to get her working again without any whiping of the HD. if anyone can help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

Am I the only person having problems with Verizon's refurbished Androids?

The best way for me to share my issue, is to submit a copy of a letter I have written to Verizon.
I have been a loyal Verizon customer for many years now. I have enjoyed good service until my most recent phone purchase approximately 18 months ago. I purchased an HTC Android, which did not work properly. It was immediately replaced with a refurbished phone from the manufacturer, which also did not work properly. That phone was replaced with another refurbished phone form the manufacturer that did not work properly, but after being given NO OPTIONS, I learned that I would have to live with a partially functional phone. For approximately a year I learned to live with the fact that my date/time stamp would disappear, that sometimes my phone ringer would not work, that I would never get an alert sound when a text message arrived. The worst part of this phone is that periodically it would dump/erase all my text messages. Since Verizon could not solve the problem and since Verizon blamed the manufacturer, I had no options, had no choices. Part of being with Verizon and my crappy phone was forced upon me with a 2 year contract. I would only have to be miserable for one more year. Then one day my phone erased some very important text messages. At this point, I had already spent hours and hours and hours with your tech support, and I decided I needed to try and force a solution. While talking with one of your tech people, I learned that the last phone I had been sent was sent to me with Beta software. The software was so outdated that the phone was not updating itself. In fact we could not update the phone manually. So, the tech person put me into yet another HTC. That HTC did have up to date software, but I was still having problems texting, date disappearing and other glitchy things. So, then the next tech person put me into a Motorola. Leary of droids, I asked for an Iphone but was refused. The tech person told me that I could use my HTC charger for the Motorola, and that he would not be sending me a Motorola charger for the phone. I understood.
So, I’ve been very patient throughout this. I figured I just had a few more months to get through this misery, wait for my contract to expire, get the Iphone. Well, I had not idea that the WORST WAS YET TO COME! So, the Motorola doesn’t charge. I tried charging that phone for 3 days, and nothing. So, back on the phone with your tech support. By the way, whomever reads this letter, I hope that someday you have to go through the tedious phone trees that I had to, only to get to Tech Level 1 which pre-screens, then you have to explain your story ALL OVER AGAIN to level 2 tech support. Of course, I now realize that Verizon thinks that I have hours and hours of time, that it is more important for me to burn 2-3 hours of my time to save Verizon 10 minutes of their time. I now realize just what a low opinion the company has of its “clients.” I actually can’t refer to myself as a client anymore; I think I am one of Verizon’s chumps.
So, back on the phone, more misery, more trips to the post office. This tech person could not believe that the new Motorola was not charging, and when I asked her if I could just get an Iphone, she said, “If you are returning a functional phone with the idea that you will get an Iphone, we will charge your for the returned phone. They will test the phone when it arrives, and if there isn’t anything wrong with it, we will charge you.” WOW. So, not only have I not had a phone that works properly, but I have wasted hours of my valuable time on the phone and running to the post office returning phones, but now I am being threatened by your employee who was implying that I am a liar. BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE!   So, she sends me another Motorola, and this phone wouldn’t take a charge either. DO YOU THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE SENT ME A MOTOROLA CHARGER INSTEAD OF MAKING ME USE MY HTC CHARGER?! How much money did you save here, $3 for a charger? So the new phone doesn’t charge, and of course now I am back on the phone tree with your tech support. BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THE WORST IS YET TO COME?
So now I’m very angry. At some point, after a company FAILS you over and over, at some point you have to take matters into your own hands. I figured I am at that point. I ask again for a Iphone, and they say No. At this point I figure I may have to file a small claims against Verizon or pay off my contract, something dramatic, something that will solve the problem. I am now writing down employee names etc. This all went down last Friday, August 24th. I talked with Deshanee. Deshanee determines that the problem is the charger, but I explain to her that I have been reassured by two other tech people that my HTC charger is fine. I told her I was leaving town and needed this resolved. She said that I needed to go to a corporate Verizon store, and there she would arrange for a manager to give me a charger and charge the phone. Really!   So during rush hour traffic on a Friday, I get to run to a Verizon store and test something that might not work!!!!! Whomever reads this letter (if it every gets read), I hope that someday you have to go through this hell, frantic, running around, not knowing if I will have this resolved before my trip, and the HUMILIATION of having to do a tremendous amount of footwork, wasted time, wasted hours. You people must really despise your client/chumps to put us through this misery and HELL! I told her that that was unacceptable that I wanted to talk to a supervisor. If I go to a Verizon store during rush hour traffic on a Friday, going on my SIXTH REPLACEMENT PHONE ISSUE, I wanted to know the problem was going to be resolved. I am not a lab rat to be sent around town for an experiment. I asked her to get a supervisor and have him authorize me an Iphone. Deshannee reluctantly consulted with a man by the name of Chad (she refused to give me his last name), and he said, “No.”   He did not have any other solution for me other than to run to the Verizon store and test out a new charger. I had visions of me sitting in a Verizon store for 2 hours waiting to see if a phone would charge. At this point I am HATING VERIZON. You have no idea the depth of my anger and resentment towards your company. I wanted to personally talk to Chad, and since it looked like I would have no other choice than to follow my orders from Verizon, I started my way to the Verizon store. By the way, there is a Sprint store within two blocks of that corporate, Verizon store.
So Chad is not available but Denshanee connects me with a very nice supervisor by the name of Mary. Both Denshanne and Mary were courteous and professional, and I do not blame them for anything. I BLAME VERIZON for not giving them any customer service tools to work with. After all I have been through, figure out a way to resolve the problem once and for all. I had to come up with the idea terminating my contract, paying the $200 penalty, Verizon crediting me back the $200, and then I would BUY the ****** IPHONE! I suggested this to Mary, and she said that only the Customer Loyalty Dept could authorize that. So, after being on hold for quite a while, she came back to me to tell me that the Customer Loyalty Department would not authorize it. I was left on my own. Since the Corporate Verizon store would not give me a charger for my phone, I had to buy one. They sold me a Verizon, Universal Wall Charger. More to come on this later. Turns out EVEN THIS ISN’T RIGHT! They should have sold me a Motorola charger. It has taken me weeks to figure out why I can’t transfer data!!!!   So, I have spent hours on the phone with Verizon tech support to try and figure out why this ****** phone won’t transfer data. Verizon tech support was NO HELP. THEY DON’T KNOW. So, I had to call Motorola tech support to find out that Verizon’s Universal Wall Chargers are not used for data transfer. If you people were actually trying to drive me crazy, intentionally, I would be afraid for my life. If this is your level of competence when you are trying?
I went on my trip and of course, when I arrived in Europe, my phone did not work. I had to get on your tech support again, and it took 2 hours to trouble shoot the problem. Even though I had called several times to ensure my phone was international ready, to make sure I had a calling plan and a data plan, no one bothered to fill my requests. I believe I should record every phone call to Verizon, document everything. So, even after I got on a data plan, I received alerts that I was mounting over $1,000 in data roaming charges. I had to call Verizon several times from Europe to remedy this. You people just love making things hard. I hate Verizon.
So, my new Motorola does not transfer data to my computer, for a reason I am not sure of, but Motorola claims I have the wrong USB cord. I requested a car charger and was denied that today by your tech support person, Vondra. She said that Verizon only warrants phones, and that we have to buy the chargers and such. Yeah, of course Verizon doesn’t; that would cost you $3? So, I called the Verizon corporate store on La Cienega, the store that refused to give me a charger, that made me buy one (one of your tech people did credit me back for that BTW). I spoke with the manager, Vanessa. She said that they don’t carry Motorola chargers. They sell the phones, but not the chargers. I explained to her about the data transfer problem I was having, and she suggested I buy a memory card reader. GREAT. So, Verizon’s solution is to abandon the idea of having the proper equipment, piece meal a solution and yes, make me pay for it!
So, another item, which your tech support cannot solve, is that the phone does not work while it is being charged.   So, I called tech support again, asked to speak with a Supervisor. I was put on hold for a long time, and the tech support person came back and told me that there were no supervisors available and that one would have to call me back. I asked her the name of the supervisor that is supposed to call me back, and she said, “Alvin.”
So, a day has gone by and no call from Alvin. I doubt he will call. Your company is obviously going through some rough times. I am sure that within a few months, Verizon’s incompetence and failings will start to be reflected in your ratings
I have visited the Sprint store, and I am familiarizing myself with what they have to offer. Early next year my contract expires, and most likely I will leave Verizon. I should take you to small claims court! Most of all, I so much regret all the people I referred to you, dozens. I talked up your network, I told everyone how happy I was with the service. I was your advocate. No longer, and I am not putting the same effort into letting people know how horrific Verizon has been with me during these last 18 months. I am counting the months until my contract expires. I will limp along with this broken phone until my contract expires, just has I have done with all the other defective phones Verizon has provided me with. For a year my HTC phone ran on the first generation software, and I managed to just use it as phone, nothing much more, and that’s what I’ll have to do with this ****** piece of crap.

I believe you, Ihave been a subscriber for over 8 years and over that period of time I have has some phones fail. This I can accept and understand, however the policy of Verizon of only sending out recertified phones is a joke. I have had over 10 replacement phones sent out to me an none have actually lasted more that 1 month. Last year this went on and on, I was able to fix this by upgrading to the samsung stratosphere.   My son's Pantech phone failed and was replaced several times and to resolve this, I ended up purchasing a replacement from Amazon.
My worked fine at first, then the internet started to get really buggy and hard almost impossible to connect. I was very hesitant to have them send a replacement because of my experience with the replacement phones, however I had to concede because I could not connect to the Internet. I was assured that the replacement would undergo a 100++ point check. It arrived and I was happy with it, however a week later, it stopped charging. I spoke with a supervisor and the options he had for me was 1. keep going thru the warranty replacement process, 2 they will send me a downgraded phone (a 3G, unlike the 4G that I bought) or 3. they will buy it back for ... wait for it...$68. Another supervisor told me then they will have to keep sending out phones, every week if needed.
As expected the replacement phone failed again, and out of frustration I called again and they connected me to a manager immediately (my account is flagged because I filed a complaint with the BBB. And for once I got a helpful person, he told me they could not ship a new phone, but a different brand, the Motorola Droid 4, I said I want to keep the Stratosphere because of the car dock and desk dock, he said they would give me new docks as well. This seemed like a good deal, so I accepted. The Droid arrived and I was setting it up, transferred the sim, the 32 GB SD card, contacts and all. I noticed that the sim was not registering, it showed no data, I tried to remove it and it BURNED my hand, needless to say it fried my SD card with all the data, photos, etc....
When I was using a basic phone, this was not a big problem, just move your contacts and you are done. With smart phones this is a lot harder, you have to load all the apps and settings again. My stand is that I am paying $200++ a month for decent service... not even perfect, just decent. I get defective phones and Verizon is not willing to rectify this. I spoke with someone from the executive office of verizon and basically her answer was to keep replacing the phones until one works,, buy an new one at full retail price or get it from a third party like Amazon or Ebay....or...get this since I am 5 months away from my upgrade date, they will LET me do an early upgrade to any non apple product, but PAY an early upgrade penalty.
Right now I think that I will use one of my phones, BUT I will aside from the complaint with the BBB, I am filing a complaint with the FTC. I wrote this on the forums a few weeks ago, but of course no one from Verizon will have the B@ll$ to answer this.

Having problems accessing any apps on my iCloud. Set up and signed in successfully but then when I click on an app it just says there's a problem but doesn't say how to fix it. Please help, am very new to this!

Hi
I am very new to updating my iPod touch and this is the first time I've used the iCloud. However, I am having problems accessing any apps on my iCloud such as photos, reminders etc. I've set it up on my iPod touch successfully and I can sign in on my PC. However, when I try to access any of the apps it says there was a problem. It doesn't tell me how to fix it or what the problem is.
Is anyone able to help?

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

The answer why Best Buy and other places are having problems...

Blame LG Display. Looks like the Retina Display is having problems in production.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-20008149-64.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=iPhoneAtlas
"The shortage of iPhone 4s as launch day approaches is due to limited supplies of the new Retina display, according to an industry analyst's report. CNET quotes Ashok Kumar, managing director and senior technology analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, as saying that a "production bottleneck" in the IPS LCD screen may continue to late summer. Meanwhile, customers continue to report emails from AT&T telling them that their iPhone 4 pre-orders have been canceled.
In the snowballing EPIC FAIL that is the iPhone 4 rollout, there has been a lot of blame to go around. Server issues were responsible for delay and confusion when the new iPhone first went on sale last Tuesday, and AT&T stopped taking orders early Wednesday due to overwhelming demand. As the rush continued, black iPhones were no longer available for launch day, with ship dates pushed back first to July 2nd and then to July 14th. White iPhones are reported to be delayed to later this summer or even to 2011. It's unclear how long third party retailers will have to wait for supplies, as neither RadioShack nor Best Buy is saying when they will have iPhone 4s in stock. An AT&T rep told a MMi user that Best Buy will not have any iPhones by launch day.
Kumar wrote in a letter to his clients that his "supply chain checks indicate that our earlier monthly shipment estimate of 4 million units have been reset by about half," blaming difficulty with the LCD manufacturing at LG Display, which makes the Retina display for Apple. By late summer, according to Kumar, LG will have upgraded their plants to new fifth-generation technology that will allow them to cut more screens from larger panels.
Apple will probably do fine if they can get supplies up in a few weeks: many if not most of the people who have placed pre-orders will want an iPhone 4 and onlyan iPhone 4. If shortages continue, though, expect increasing numbers of potential iPhone buyers to start looking at other high-end smartphones like the HTC EVO and the upcoming Droid X."

Which is why, as I stated in a previous thread, that Apple should have had on-hand a minimum of 3 million units before even announcing the darn thing and the so-called "pre-order" window should have been open for a month. That would have given them time to move the existing units and be producing more. I love Apple, but what kind of amateur-hour-fisher-price-my-first-product-launch has a one week pre-order window before launch without having a clue as to how many units they would move on launch?

First build, having problems
