Floppy Controller Out- Clicks When It Gets Power - No Light ?

Tried to reload Windows and noticed floppy wasnt working went out got another one and same problem no light and floppy not present in BIOS. I tried different cables and it seems that the 7025mod2.1a3 modded BIOS may have taken out my floppy controller I was wondering if anyone else experienced this. I am going to buy a USB floppy to flash back and hopefully get my floppy working again.

You can flash back with a CD or a USB pendrive...
Be well....

Automatically turn on when mac gets power

I have a MacPro thats plugged into a power conditioner (power distribution rack) and id like the mac to turn on when the power conditioner is turned on, at the moment when the power conditioner is turned on and the mac gets power, it waits for me to press the power button to boot up, i want it to simply turn on when it gets power and avoid having to press the power button.
thanx

In "Energy Saver" system preference, enable "Start up automatically after a power failure". It won't start if you manually shutdown, but should if it shutdown due to power failure.

Initalizing Floppy Controller-hangs

Hi,
I know I have posted before and I thank everyone for their suggestions! I have a 945P Neo board w/ intel pentium D proc, 2 GB Ram, 430 W PSU w 20 A on 12V, 256 MB PCI-E vid card, SATA HD, DVD Burner, and floppy. My problem is still the same although I borrowed a D-Bracket from a friend and now have the diagnostic lights. When the computer is booting up, it seems to be fine, then gives a continous series of short beeps. On the screen it shows the BIOS and says "press DEL to enter setup" but if I do the computer just keeps beeping.
After connecting the D-Bracket it gives me the code 1-green, 2-red, 3-green, 4-green which translates into "Initalizing floppy drive and controller" then it just hangs there with the continuous short beeps.
Is there anything I can do about this problem or is it a dead motherboard? I actually hear the floppy power on. I have tried resetting the CMOS but no avail. Tried bareboning the system as well but no help.
Any suggestions would be helpful!!
Thanks

Make shure the floppy cable is seated right on the motherboard and the back of the drive. There is a red stripe on one side of the cable and that goes towards the power connector on the drive itself and towards pin '1' on the motherboard. Sometimes it is hard to read on the motherboard but it is there. The cable might be bad, the drive itself bad, or even the onboard floppy controller. If none of these help, then just disable the floppy controller in the bios to get it to boot. But first I would make shure the cable is installed corectly.

HT5098 How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the PC Windows files to my Apple?

How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial fonts made in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the Arabic PC Windows files to my Apple?
The same with email messages ,
And when I get Power Point files made in PC Windows, they are like PDF, not Power Point!
Anybody with a good suggestion?

Do not use MS Word for Mac, it does not support Arabic. Instead use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer or OpenOffice. Try the font Geeza Pro if others do not work.

Switches to email tab without being clicked when i recieve new email

So far a D for FireFox.
Chrome was SLoooooow. But FF does things without being told to
This is what I was afraid of!!!!!!
I like to keep my email tab onscreen so I can look at email when it arrives. But now FF switches to that tab without being clicked. when I get new email.
How do I stop this very very aggravating issue? Can't type, cant even click, Nothing will work until the message is seen in "new mail". THEN I can switch back to the tab I'm using.
Also how do I have FF open Adobe reader to view PDFs . All I get is a blank background.

If Safe Mode solves the issue, the behavior will be related to an Add-on.
Just disable all of them and start activating one by one until you replicate the behavior. The last one that you have activated will be the one that is causing the behavior.

The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. How do I get them back?

The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. When I looked in the trash, I saw two things labled "iTunes library extras", and "iTunes library genius". When I tried opening them, it said that I needed to open them with an application, and that I needed to chose one. I chose iTunes. When I tried double clicking on "iTunes library extras" after this, all it did was open up iTunes. Nothing else. Someone please help me because I had a lot of songs that I liked, and recently downloaded. And it will be a pain to get them all back if no one can help me.

Are the files still physically on your HD?
[User]/Music/iTunes/Media/Music is the default location. Unless you suddenly have a bunch of new "free space" on your hard drive, they're still where they were, you just need to create a new library file.

The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost. I can see the network in my connections and connect to it. How do I get it back to the orginal name and password. I have an HP laptop

Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.

Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.
First my organize has Exchange on 2 site like
site A (internet facing) : 2CAS 2 MB all are Services pack1
site B (DR Site , no user active on this site) : 2CAS 2MB all are Services pack 1
so today I upgrade Exchange 2013 from SP1 to CU5 start on "site B" and I found this issue and the details is....
When I open EMS on any CU5 for query something (like get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus) the response return very slow and some query will not return at all (like get-owavirtualdirectory).
But If I using EMS on SP1. Everything is ok then I try to use EMS on SP1 connect to CU5 and try to query something. the result is
some query command cannot return for any result that are server on siteB (just some query command)
Problem
EMS on CU5 return very slow result.
EMS on SP1 still ok.
Does anyone face this problem before for CU5??? Please help me figure this out. Thank you

Hi,
Have you used the above cmdlets to check your Exchange server health?
"all other command that I ran on EMS didn't logged on event viewer.", my environment is the same with you. I use Exchange 2013, only errors will be displayed in MSExchange Management. Actually, it is not related to slow EMS response.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ???? I also set up my apple ID with a new email account and also I signed up for iCloud but used the same apple I'd email and password but it gave me a I cloud email! I did activate the favorites in my email . Noticed the from field has my fathers name and contact and it is a notification about me using my apple ID to sign in to FaceTime! Something is messed up, not sure how or why???

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

When ever the power goes out or I restart my iMac the external hard drive that is used by Time Machine for backups is dismounted ?

When ever the power goes out or I restart my iMac the external hard drive that is used for backups by Time Machine is dismounted and all backups are gone. I can reselect it and it will start working again, but I am worried if the iMac hard drive should fail will I be left without a backup ?

It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.
Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it.
That will erase it. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast). Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27. If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups.
