General trouble shooting question

As I sit here (obsessively) waiting for my 32GB Black (unengraved)iPad which I ordered on 3/18 and expected to receive by 4/26, I've been amusing myself reading the various issues among iPad 2 users. That said, how many of these issues pertaining strictly to the iPad 2 are truly mechanical in nature versus caused my human error (or impatience if you will by not reading the manual)?

I cannot give you a number, but if you look at the Apple Discussions as you would a hospital emergency room, watching folks go in and out of the ER you might have a notion that the whole world is sick or injured. But in fact only a tiny portion are. I dare say millions of folks happily enjoy their iPad 2s, like I do, without any issues. Yes, there are occasional bad Apples (pun intended!). But I think that many long term users commenting here in the ADs would venture that a lot of issues are user caused.

    Memory Issues:-
    Try running single Module - If it Posts Enter Bios:-
    1) Bios - Cell Menu - Set up Memory Voltage(auto =2.5v) This is to low for many modules, Check the spec for your modules.
    2) Cell Menu - Dram Settings
    3) Memtest86+ Download & create a floppy or cd iinstructions on site. Check each memory module seperately, In different slots (single Channel Moboos). This will isolate any possibly faulty modules. Then check both modules together to check compatability at the timings entered. if a module fails try tweaking the voltage up (within or around manufacturers max.). Slacken memory timings. it's best to have patience here
    If all else fails try using a stick of older memory PC2100 PC2700 to get into Bios & change the settings to suit your modules.

  • Home sharing with multiple accounts- trouble shooting question

    I am currently having issues with the Home Sharing function. We all have seperate accounts but log on and are about to share music etc. but when logging on my work phone it sometimes saves my husbands apple id to my phone. In the setting it has the correct apple id but when I go to update apps it prompts me for his apple id password. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciate.

    I've been trying to thing what might be different about my set up versus yours in case (which may be likely) you are correct and your wife's library is authorised and plays your content in her iTunes application.
    I deliberately chose my wife's music to check my set up because she pays for her own iTunes account, whereas my children have their own accounts but I give them an allowance and send them gift vouchers from my account (which I thought might just be relevant). I later realised that my wife's library is also on our homesharing ID (which again might have been relevant), so I've now tried it with my youngests purchased and protected content because his library is using our homesharing ID.
    I'll keep thinking.

  • General Trouble Shooting Tips for New Users

    Ok so we're starting a Topic to help out people just starting up with Logic Express.
    Me and a few others who frequent this board with a load of good answers thought it would be a good idea to offer a little helping hand to new users. Hopefully avoiding them their lapses in confidence and creativity by the way of limited techincal knowledge.
    As far as Professional sequencers and recorders go Logic is pretty straight forward and quite basic too. If you're coming from either using Garage Band 1/2 or maybe even a PC with Cubase, Cool Edit, Sonar or otherwise. You may find it baffeling to start with.
    So we hope this can be of some help to you.

    Crack open the champagne it's Tip 1.
    First off if you are using an external audio interface make sure it's plugged into your computer, it's powered up and drivers are installed. If using the internal sound card make sure all your connecting cables work ok and they are plugged in.
    If you're running Logic for the first time, it should recognise compatible audio interfaces when you run the initial setup. It should also set this to be the default interface from now on.
    If you've already been using Logic for a while and have just invested, then make sure and to to Preference/Audio and to the drivers panel. Select the driver there and leave all other settings as they are by default to avoid confusion.
    This should then allow you to record audio. SO go to the Edit/Arrangement window and make an Audio if there's not already one there. Then head over to the Mix window and find that channel (Audio 1 is normally all the way to the left). You'll see the faders and just above them the panners, above these will be two boxes the top is to set the input channel on your interface, and the second is the output.
    Set these according to the signal path you're trying to record hit the "Rec" button on that channel and you should either see the meter move up and down corresponding the sound, or you'll see the meter and hear the sound as well.
    You can turn off the software monitoring (ie being able to hear the sound coming in) in the same preference panel we looked at earlier. Under "Software Monitoring".
    Now you should be ready to record the sound. Switch back to the Edit/Arrange window and hit record in the transport bar. PERFORM. Hit stop. Go back to the start of the sound and hit play.
    NOW
    If you don't hear sound check the easiest things first. Is you audio interface or internal sound card connected to a set of speakers? Be it by means of an amplifier first or maybe you got some flash active ones!?
    Do the cable you're using to connect with actually work?
    Is the volume control up on the amp? Are the speakers plugged in?
    This may sound stupid but it's the most annoy thing to do wrong and it DOES happen.
    If this still doesn't work then double check all your drivers are there present and correct, the volume control in the computer is turned up, you have assign a valid output, and all levels within any software mixer that came with your interface are also all the way up.
    Still nothing? Post a detailed description of your setup and problem in the forum and someone will answer it probably within a day or so.
    Don't forget READ the manual, don't expect this to as easy as Garageband it's a different scale of operation which given time can reap massive rewards. Not always monitary mind you.
    Good luck.

    P.s. don't forget to rate posts you find helpful.

  • I installed the latest iTunes update. Now iTunes won't recognize my iPod. I tried every step in the trouble-shooting list and nothing works. Apple wants to charge me $35 just to ask them a question. What should i do?

    I have tried every step in the trouble-shooting list, and nothing helps. What should I do?

    I am having this same issue.  I have avoided updating it for months and now that I finally did this is what happens!!  My Ipod goes into charge mode, but then as soon as iTunes opens up to sync it says it knows there is an ipod connected but does not recognize it and it will stop charging and just go to the main screen that comes up when you turn ipod on.  I even tried Uninstalling and reinstalling like it says and that doesn't work.  When I uninstall it, it will let my ipod charge when I connect it to computer.  But as soon as I install iTunes again and try to connect it, it tells me the same thing.  Now I know why I never update to newer versions, so angry right now.  Apple needs to fix this problem cause I've had my ipod for less than a year!!

  • How can i know more trouble shooting issues/Real time problems and thier solutions?

    Hi to every one.
    i am Technician in a reputed mnc company. I am new to Microsoft servers. I learned MCSE 2008 and have basic trouble shooting knowledge.To improve my knowledge on these servers and how can i know real issues in a company occurs , solution to them. Please
    help me to get more knowledge on these servers.
    I am waiting for your reply.
    Thanks  & Regards,
    Praveen

    If you want to know more about issues related to your own internal servers, I'd simply start by reviewing the event logs and running perfmon in the short term to look for issues.  For more long term management and monitoring I'd look to a tool
    like System Center Operations Manager:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh205987.aspx
    For general troubleshooting skills growth, I'd stick around these forums and just read issues as they occur and try to assist with resolving some that you feel you can.

  • My router is out of warranty, how do i trouble shoot it?

    I called Linksys and they told me that I need to pay like 32 bucks so they can troubleshoot my router. I backed off and told them I'll see if i can trouble shoot it myself.The thing is how do I troubleshoot it now that it's out of warranty? Router: Linksys BEFW11S4 Windows: Windows XP

    First of all, get a copy of the User Guide for your router.  It should be on the original software CD that came with the router.   Or you can download it from Linksys.com.    Copy the Guide to your computer and/or print a copy.
    The User Guide explains all the settings in the router.
    Look over the User Guide.  You do not need to understand everything in it.  But you do need to be generally familiar with how the tabs will take you to various router settings.
    Note that the router will work fine with 95% to 100% of the router settings at their default values.  So, you will likely need to change none, or only a few settings to get your router to work.
    Next, login to your router at 192.168.1.1 , and click on the tabs and see what settings are available.
    Finally, for answers to your questions, that won't cost $32, come here to the support forum.
    If you are currently having a problem with your router, please explain the problem in detail.  Please include your router's version number.

  • How do I find missing/lost bookmarks I tried the trouble shooting section i just couldn't figure it out

    I had a bookmark folder & decided to add two more. When I went to my folders I could only find one new folder. When I clicked on it, it brought me to the second new folder. I couldn't get all three to appear under the bookmarks section. I retitled them because two of the three bookmarks had the wrong bookmarked items & then I lost the third, which had all the original bookmarks.
    I've tried your trouble shooting section, I don't understand all of the information. I have been through the trouble shooting section several times trying different options. I've gotten myself so frustrated & confused :( I'm hoping for a little one on one help.
    Thank you so much

    <u>First steps read the articles & do the following</u>
    # manually backup your current bookmarks (as they are now)<br> see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    #locate your profile, backup your bookmarks backups folder and the files it contains. See <br /> [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile]]'''_how-do-i-find-my-profile'''
    *also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Folders
    * put the new backups somewhere safe; outside any Firefox or profile paths
    <u>Now look at what you have and keep the best ones</u> <br />
    There are limits to what may be restored, depending on what you have done and deleted, but once you have taken the action above you have preserved whatever is there.
    You can now try restoring any of the automated backups that Firefox has made for you (By default each of the last ten days). But take CARE any restore overwrites and destroys existing ones (unless it is from an HTML file then it is appended ). Always backup by exporting before you do a restore.
    You may restore from any backup you have made by exporting the current state, you are not limited to just the automated backups.
    Post back with how you get on and with any further questions.

  • I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

    I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

    It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed.  This is pretty typical.  Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
    You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images.  How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
    For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile.  If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
    You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it.  It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background.  A quick web search turns up many overviews.  Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.

  • H470 resume light on and all other lights off. Did everything listed in trouble shooting.

    I need help fixing this. Checked and performed everything described on the HP trouble shooting page for the H470. Nothing worked. Printer does normal startup check and then resume light flashes and all other lights are off.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    This light pattern indicates that there is a paper jam or a paper motor stall.
    Turn off the printer and then:
    1. Clear the paper jam
    2. Remove loose paper from the tray
    3. Open the front cover and remove any paper jam (look for small pieces as well)
    4. Make sure the carriage moves freely (where you put the ink cartridges in)
    5. Turn the printer back on and attempt to print a self test page (Press and hold the power button and press the resume button four times)
    6. With the printer on, unplug the power cord, wait 15 seconds and plug back in and turn on
    7. Attempt another self test page.

  • Have done all the trouble shooting connection but my iPad still can not get wifi connection

    i have done all the trouble shooting connection but mu iPAd still can not get wifi connection

    Hi Jo,
    Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security.  There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach.  If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access.  In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address).  Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
    Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
    If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue.  If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.
