G5 crashing 10.5.8 and other issues
I have been using my dual G5 2.7 with Leopard 10.5.8 flawlessly, never had a crash, it was always rock solid. I have primarily used it with Logic 9. A couple of weeks ago, I needed to use a notation program and I loaded Sibelius. It worked fine until I was really pushing it by loading a lot of Kontakt 2 instances for playback. Then my G5 started crashing and getting kernel panic errors. It stopped doing that and the next day started going into sleep mode every few minutes. I read some forums and tweaked the power settings and now it is running normally but having trouble recognizing my aux hard drives. When I ran Disk Warrior, it found my missing hard drives but when I tried to rebuild them, it crashed the G5 again. Here is the problem message and configuration from that crash. Any idea what might be wrong with this old girl? I plan to upgrade to an intel Max soon but don't have the dough to do it right now.

Discouraging. Today it is one crash after another. The temperature monitor says nothing is overheating, but the fans are running constantly on at least medium speed. Full speed when booting up.
I don't have a Firmtek PCI card, but perhaps the previous owner did. I bought this unit used a few years ago. Is there a way to remove unused drivers on a Mac?
I do have a Seritek/ 152 v. 5.1.2,06/15/02, 00:24:30 (ATA PCI card) and a pci137 DSP-PCI-424 B V.1.0 J/J (MOTU PCI 424 card_. I have removed both of them from the machine to see if either of them is the problem. Have unplugged all extra peripherals. So the only think plugged in is a monitor, mouse and 2nd internal drive.
I checked inside for leaks, but it is dry as a bone. I will try downloading ASD 2.5.8 but I will probably have to do it on a different machine and burn a disk. I don't think this one will stay up long enough for the download.
Here is the last crash report:

Videos crash after 2 seconds (and other issues)
Hello,
I own a HP Pavilion DV6 6180ep and I'm experiencing a few problems while running Windows 8.1 .
- sometimes when I receive windows notifications (the ones on the upper right corner), the computer freezes (I can't click on the notification) and the sound crashes too, and only after 20/30 seconds everything starts working properly. When this happens, in the moment that everything comes back to normal, sometimes I hear a lot of windows sounds at the same time.
- videos in general crash after 2 seconds of playing (on every platform: youtube, facebook, VLC player, ...). I have to wait 20/30 seconds and everything comes back to normal again.
These are minor issues but after some time it's very annoying. I've been asking some people with similar laptops and many of them complain about these issues too.
Thank you.Hi @Duarteman ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are having some graphics issues with your Pavilion after upgrading to Windows 8.1. The reason you are having problems is that there are no specific drivers for Windows 8 or 8.1 for this model. Your Pavilion also has switchable graphics which means you have two video cards. The drivers for these cards have be to configured the manufacturer of the notebook so you can't use a driver from AMD.
Your best bet is to use a set of recovery discs and go back to Windows 7.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?
So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

Yosemite finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files
Hello,
under Yosemite the Finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files.
Is this just my problem? Help please.
Thank you very much.
Regards.Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information
Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information to video and music files. Killing the process is the only cure and crashes after inputing information for 5-10 video files. I have the latest version of itunes, and this did not happen to pre 10.x versions of itunes. Running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. 64-bit iTunes.
@tposchi
I do not think it has anything to do with router at all. I have 25mbps down and 6mbps up where I live. This is not shabby at all and I have latest TimeCapsule which is acts as my router at home. Yet the latest iTuns blows up playing streams. So I use this player instead: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Not as pretty, but at least I can play radio stream 24 hours a day with it and have no problems. iTunes 10.7 does not last one hour I too wish Apple fix it. -
Brand new iPad mini 32GB LTE (Verizon) purchased on 1/7/13 is constantly crashing while on Safari and other apps. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do besides restoring it and rebooting it as I have already done so. Should i exchange it at the apple store for a new one? Any suggestions? Im still under the 14 day return policy.
Returning it is a way to go, obviously. Unless that's quick and convenient enough for you, you may try resetting it to factory settings first under Settings -> General -> Reset.
A new setup and sync (not restoring, to avoid the cause of the problem coming over again) might fix it once and forever. -
Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update
DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.

Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440
Hi all,
This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact. I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
Part Description Symptom
IMAGE Replaced due to engineering change
System board Network card error
Hard disk drive Network card error
ECA-WIRELESS <no symptom listed>
There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
Windows 8.1
SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
Build 9600
I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
Log Information,
Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm
You have not done a hardware test on your computer
And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
Then, I ran hardware scan again...
Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
64 of them are the disk error.
341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
One of them says {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.
16 are warnings that various processors in Group 0 are being limited by system firmware.
12 say the certificate for local system with thumbprint <bunch of hex numbers> is about to expire or already expired.
108 are warnings for failure to load the driver \Driver\WUDFRd for various devices
16 are application errors
One is for the computer rebooting from a "bug check"
15 are for name resolutions timing out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
10 are for SecureBoot being disabled.
14 for services terminating unexpectedly
15 are for WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
61 are for applications not being able to be restarted because the application SID does not match Conductor SID
12 are for activation of CLSID timing out waiting for the service wuauserv to stop
So, I'll call them on Monday and open. a. new. case (#5?) - but really 7. And get A NEW BOX.
I'll keep you updated!Hi amycdero and welcome to the HP Forum,
I understand that you are having scanning and printing issues after upgrading to Mavericks OS X v10.9.1. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
In this document for Mac OS X: Scanning Software Does Not Open or Stops Responding are steps the may help you with your scanning issue.
This document for Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems should help with the streaking printing issue.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know.

Finder windows not coming to front and other issues
Hey Guys,
I've been having some issues with finder not coming to the front when clicking on the Finder icon on the dock, like it used to.
Also, if I have a finder window on the front, and I click to an application behind it, the application doesn't come back in front again.
Anyone else having these issues, anyone know of a fix? Not sure if it's related, but in the force quit window, finder is shown twice?
It's happening on both my macbook pro and my mac pro, both running mavericks.Do you have StuffIt Deluxe installed? If so, see this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4195602
What is happening is that your Finder is crashing.

WRT55AG - Denial Of Service / security hole, and other issues
Im using a V2 of the WRT55AG using 1.79 firmware.
I suffered many perplexing issues when connected directly to my cable modem.
1 It would lock up and no data transversed it
2 Its web interface would no longer exist
3 Some types of data would be blocked
4 It would stop doing DHCP
5 Ping times to it from the LAN side would increase in 1 minute intervals for hours or until power cycled
6 Data rates would slow randomly.
These problems would occur separately and in combinations. They would occur randomly but some issues would occur daily.
Left alone the router would 100% lock up in a matter of days. This occurred 100% of the time.
Rebooting was a daily and sometimes hourly ritual.
After reading in many forums of the known issues with this router I purchased a BEFSR41 as replacement.
ALL of my problem were gone. This of course isolated the issues I was having to the WRT55AG.
I then hooked up the WRT55AG _after_ the BEFSR41.
The problems with the WRT55AG disappeared. Completely. It suddenly worked for weeks perfectly.
I then tried setting the BEFSR41's DMZ to the IP of the WRT55AG exposing the WRT55AG to the net directly.
The issues returned.
So the WRT55AG is crashing and suffering from various problems because of some hostile internet packets. Effectively it suffers major security issues and a denial of service from something that is present from the internet. I did not isolate what ports+packets were causing the DOS condition.
Im sure the WRT55AG has some code that is vulnerable to attack because it crashes when exposed to the net. This is a serious issue.
This is a sad state of affairs. I paid good money for the router. Its too late to get my money back. I would settle for a 802.11A WAP.
I want a *FIX* for the obvious security hole that could expose anyone on the LAN side of the wrt55AG router to attack if the router/firewall is compromised. I want my WRT55AG to work as intended or at least as well as the BEFSR41 I own.
I also feel if the source code was still open, then these problems would not exist. At the very least, some other 3rd party version of firmware would be available that would work in the router and any issue would get prompt attention and a quick solution from a open source team. The decision by Linksys to move away from open source firmware will erode the quality of the brand by making products less reliable.
WHEN will a new version of the firmware be available for the WRT55AG ?
If not how do I go about returning a well documented defectively engineered product for a product that works ?I would like to see a update to fix the various issues with this router. When will this be available ?
-OR-
If this product is considered End Of Life, I would like to get confirmation that no future firmware update will occur.
As this product was defective out of the box and has never been fixed, I would like a replacement product please. My serial number is # MDJ106802225

Dreamweaver CS5 crashes in split screen and other cases
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!
It's affecting my productivity.
I'm running SP2 to Enterprise Vista
CS5 will open just fine. It will open a plain HTML file just fine. but then when I go to split screen and click on the design window I find that it hasn't completely painted the whole of the code into the design portion... in other words it has painted like half the page... and now that I've clicked on the design portion it will crash. The same will happen in reverse... if I'm already on the design window and click over to source it will crash.
I have checked my code thinking maybe there is something drastically wrong with the code that is confusing DW, but isn't that what DW is for?? to be able to edit code that doesn't work right as well as build pages and sites? I shouldn't have to go and check code in another editor. Regardless, the problem remained. (In the words of the great pessimist, Charlie Brown, "Good grief!")
Any ideas?! BTW, I had CS5 installed before and just had to recently re-image my HD. It worked fine before with the same information as above... the only difference being that my previous CS5 was an upgrade from CS4. My new install is a direct install into CS5.Jocke27 wrote:
What do you mean with corrupt?
Why did you suggest that I created a new profile?
There are cache files and other system files that are created every time a user account is created. Sometimes these are corrupted in the OS and it really has no bearing on the specific application but it can lead to erratic behavior. Creating a new user recreates all these system files and thus it's almost like starting fresh. It's one step shy of re-installation of an OS. So because changing the user fixed the issue, then we have eliminated the fact that the application is causing the error and we know the OS is causing the error.
I can't just go in to that profile when I want to use?
I wouldn't recommend it. This can lead to more problems with the OS down the road with other applications and depending on where the corruption lies it can lead to issues with OS upgrades or even installing new software. The files that are typically most critical to users are stored in the Applications folder or the Documents/Sites/Pictures folders. You can easily drag them over to a new user account. If you have email being backed up for a product like Thunderbird you can also bring over many of the Library items as well. -
Mega 180: MSI DVD Writer DR-16B and other issues...
I just get hand on a MSI DVD Writer DR-16B and installed it on my Mega PC unfortunatelly whenever i open the tray using the mega pc front panel button it will hang my mega pc badly and i have to reboot.
However i found a trick: It will not hang if i open the DVD using the Drive button, it is not convenient but at last works...
Other issue i have with my Mega PC:
* If i connect my USB bluetooth dongle the mega PC will not boot
* Sometimes after booting i loose the sound (nvmixer wont load complaining there is no nforce sound chipset on my mega pc !!) and i have to unplug the power for a while to get it back
* The remote control is crappy unless you can stay 2 meter and aim exactly at the mega pc...anybody found a replacement ??
* The last one was one of my RAM was corrupted and make my PC crash every days or so and corrupt some of my files on the HD :( :( it took me 3 months to find the problem....
Do you know if MSI have any plan to fix these issues some days ??? i am getting tired and thinking of replace my Mega PC with some shuttles ....Thanks for the advice and here are my reply:
For DVD i want a 16x DVD writer i already tried several devices out there and this one will be my latest try..i can accomodate to eject with the drive button for now...I was hopping that using a MSI model would make it compatible but this one is not... :(
For missing sound devices i use the latest nforce drivers and i already found the root cause on this forum, it seems that if you start the PC when the HIFI mode is already open it will lock the sound device in HIFI and the PC mode cannot find it. The solution is to switch off HIFI mode BEFORE going PC mode...well weird
For USB bluetooth well it would have been nice to leave it all the time because i use it to synch my sony erricson P900 anyway i heard that it is a bios firmware problem so i am back to sync with the phone craddle (USB craddle but this one will not freeze the boot) The USB bluetooth is a PCI GW-BH02U. -
Twist charm swipes not working and other issues
Hi all,
I just got a new Twist a few days ago and am having some issues with it. I got it on line from Staples who have a very limited return policy so I need to get these problems resolved quickly or will have to return it in a few days. I really like it a lot and would hate to return it and deal with the replacement, double charge on my CC until they get the defective Twist and refund the bucks, not to mention the shipping hassles.
I've installed all updates including the Lenovo updates, updated the Bios, did a factory refresh and went through the update process all over again and also calibrated the screen.
So the problems I'm seeing are the swipes from top to close an app, left to view open apps, and right for the charms will intermittently stop working but you can still tap on apps to open them and slide the app screen left \ right.
The other issue is that occasionally the app screen will shrink and expand or open an app without being touched, I would have it on a stand in tablet mode and watch it expand \ contract, and suddenly bring up an app like Remote Desktop. I contacted Lenovo support they said it was a hardware issue and recommended returning it but I'm reluctant to do this and hope there's a solution for it.
I did notice was that moving to portrait mode would usually work to bring back the swipe functionality. Digging into it a bit more, I think I found the root cause, when it is in tablet mode with the keyboard folded back, the keyboard isn’t getting fully disabled, watching it closely I noticed that a cursor would sometimes appear \ disappear momentarily.
Any thoughts or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!Chris Ibsen wrote:
I still have access to the folder, as I still have the external drive.
okay, let's make really sure it is the entire iTunes folder. a typical one looks like this on the inside
the red arrow points to the heart of your iTunes library - the iTunes library file, the iTunes database. you will want to treat this file as the apple of your eye !
anyhoo, if indeed the entire iTunes folder is on the external, simply drag it from there to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the new Mac.
since a folder by the same name is already in that location, the finder will tell you so and ask you if you want to "replace it with the one you're moving". confirm that you want that.
when the copying has finished, fire up iTunes and you should be taken to the exact same library you were used to from your old Mac.
finally, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and check that +iTunes media folder location+ is set correctly - it should point to the iTunes folder on your new Mac's startup disk. if it doesn't, change it accordingly.
please post back with results !

HP Spectre x360 13-4002dx active pen and other issues
Hi, I'm havng issues with my active pen, but wasn't sure if it's an issue with my laptop or stylus (or if it's a software/driver issue). Is there an easy way to tell?Also, I've been using my laptop for a month now, and recently have had other issues, listed below. I wrote them down below in case that could provide some information, and/or if those issues are something I should be concerned about and should try to fix. To begin with, after doing some research, I bought a Synaptic active stylus (the Dell one), which worked very well for the first two weeks until last week. All of a sudden, it started to respond very awkward and randomly, sometimes it's too sensitive and draw lines even when the pen was off the screen, and sometimes it didn't draw anything at all even though I see the small circle following my pen tip. I initially thought it was due to low battery, but it's the same issue after I replaced the battery. Right now, the laptop doesn't respond to pen touching the screen (no clicks, no writings), although the pointer follows the pen. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? How do I know if it's the pen that is faulty or if it's the laptop? Other issues I had or am having:1. Today, I had a BAD_POOL_HEADER error and blue screen of death. After reboot, everything seems to still work, but the login is now much slower. It's very fast to reach to the login screen, but it takes 2-3 minutes to bring up the desktop and other startup applications after I enter my password (I think it used to take less than 10 seconds). I tried rebooting 2-3 times, and it was always the same. 2. The laptop seems to gain heat very easily. With moderate workload (example, some websites with flash advertisements or videos), it can easily go above 70 degrees Celsius on either core (according to CPUID HWMonitor). One time, the system actually failed and forced hibernated due to overheating. (To me, the screen went blank all of a sudden. I turn the laptop back on, and the screen printed a message for a while saying it forced shutdown due to overheating. I realized it was hibernation after I logged in since I see all my windows) 3. On the second day of use of this laptop, the laptop just shutdown for no good reason, and then couldn't boot, saying it cannot find boot image or something like that. I looked up the web and found that it could be a BIOS issue. It said to try reseting the BIOS setting, and then it worked. I also upgraded the BIOS image to the latest after this incident. 4. This is probably more a router issue, but I initially had problems connecting wireless to my router. It was solved after changing my router. For those who are interested, the details is as the following: my old router supported up to 802.11n , but not 802.11ac, That shouldn't matter, but all wireless connections get disconnected once in every several hours if my HP Spectre x360 is trying to use the wireless. However the wired connections stayed ok when this happens, so the router is only "partially" killed. The fact that all wireless connections are getting killed seemed to me that the router didn't like something from my HP laptop. To be fair, I didn't try not using my HP laptop to see if the issue goes away, so it could be a coincidence that the router started to go faulty at the same time I bought and used my HP laptop. Anyways, it seemed it's a router issue, so after replacing the router. the issue went away. Thanks.
Will investigate and let you know what I can find out.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

C309g (CD055A) no black and other issues..
Hey all.. Not sure which thing to post about first, so in random order, here goes....
I bought a used printer listed above in the subject.. It needed a new power supply, and ink, but seemed to be great. I purchased the regular size cartridges except the black which they had in XL size. I printed a total of 3 test pages (set up on three computers), I printed one 8x11 photo via bluetooth from my phone, and my wife printed 2 8x11 photo's from her PC. All 3 8x11's were on regular paper. Oh, and we printed one of the dots built-in pages.. So if you're counting (and I KNOW I am), that is a total of 7 pages. Additionally there may have been one demo page (possibly a total of 8 pages, then!), can't remember if I did that demo page on the previous owners ink or if I did one on the new ink I bought (previous ink was old/empty). Oh, and technically there was an alignment page, so final total 9 pages. After those nine pages, my magenta and yellow ink were both down to around 65-75 percent. It sat a week without use (literally, 7 days). Today I went to print some regular text (black only) and it shot out at me blank pages. I tried a few more times, and nothing but blank pages. Tired of running back and forth, I printed a built-in "school paper" page or wide ruled paper (heh, how cool in a pinch is THAT feature!). It printed perfectly - Course it's blue and magenta, no black..
So it's been awhile since I used inkjet, but I quickly rememberd the handy utility to clear/clean printheads. Ran that. It failed, assumedly for missing black (it had the gray'ish photo black, but not 'black' anywhere on the sheet. After the cleaning failed, I removed the black, and all the colors. Seems to be black in there (as should be!) I dabbed the bottom with a paper towel gently, it turned black... So I put it in, and it whirred away doing it's thing to re-align, and then it told me the shocking news that my printer was low on ink, and showed all levels to be well, I suppose about 10-15 percent remaining (think SMALL skinny lines). Now I know this is an estimate, but I'm concerned from the get-go that after only 9 pages it was down to 65%!!
Before I found the forums, I found a site that recommended removing the ink cartridges, and removing the print head itself and soaking the bottom portion (up to the wire meshes, slightly covering them, but not the entire thing) for awhile in IPA (isopropal alcohol) and then dipping them in fresh a fresh batch to 'rinse' then gently hitting them with compressed air via air compressor (or canned air, I suppose, have an air compressor) to remove any debris and get the remaining alcohol off/out. I then let it sit several hours to 'dry', which - it was probably ready immediately given the properties of IPA, but didn't want to chance it.. Re-inserted it and the ink, and..... SAME THING.
All the ink is official HP ink (since I'm sure that q is coming), was purchased from a big box retailer who ya all know and love or hate (no need to name drop).. I'm wondering if...
1. My ink, though coming out onto the paper towels could be bad/defective. Given the really fast drop in the levels of ink, and the issue with black not seeming to print, seems possible?
2. Should I try the boiling the print head - err not boiling it, but sticking it in recentyl boiled water, and give that a try? The guide that was posted here somewhere showed doing that, with IPA added to the water as an option. Is it possible the IPA didn't break up whatever gunk might be blocking the black, that boiled water might break up? Does that make sense, or would the IPA have broken it down?
How do these print heads work exactly, or is that the big company secret? I mean, is there a tube that goes for the inlet of black to the gold area underneath, cuz it's not directly under the gold like old fashioned cartridges used to be.. Is there any way to open up or access that area like, under the metal screens to get in there with a pipecleaner or something maybe, or something?
And, for bonus points (lol) Why does HP assign two names to their printers?? IE C309g (CD055A), If my printer is the C309g, why is it ALSO the CD055A?? SO confusing and un-necessary..
Thanks for your time and patienceI've had a similar problem with black not printing, though my printer is a B8550. I bought new and have used it fairly lightly I'd say, but after only a couple of years it suddenly stopped printing the photo black (it has separate cartridges for black for photos and black for text, etc.).
It prints on regular printer paper just fine using the other black--but not a drop prints of the Photo Black (yes, it's full). Since I've cleaned the print head, and even bought a new one, and a diagnostic print shows absolutely no trace of the photo black, I'm fairly sure the printer itself is at fault. It's sold as a 'Photosmart' printer, meaning it's intended to use to print photos--large format too--so without photo black it is a huge brick as far as I'm concerned.
I've begun to notice from these forum posts that there is an issue with HP and black ink, or at least whatever controls black for photo papers in their inkjet printers. If I'm not mistaken both yours and mine use the 564 cartridges, so maybe that suggests a common factor in such printers that is the culprit. I suspect HP knows there is a problem, either with the hardware or firmware, and I wish they would do right by us.
