Harddrive Upgrade Compatability (Please read....)

PLEASE HELP!!! I have a HP dv8305us laptop and my harddrive failed. I was looking at the Western Digital 320 gb/5400 rpm/8 mb cache harddrive. Is this compatible for my laptop? Also the transfer rate is 3 gb/s max. Would this work normal if i install it on my laptop?
I know my laptop currently came with 80 gb/5400 rpm/100 mb/s.
So can it support 320 gb/5400 rpm/3 gb/s???
If not, what's the maximum specs it can support? Please help, i dont want to buy the wrong harddrive.
Thanks!

The picture in the Manual definitely shows a PATA/IDE hard drive (dual rows of pins) and the table at page 173 clearly says ATA (IDE) 5 or 6....in other words NOT SATA. I have worked on dv8000s and the older ones are PATA drives and then at some point in the series they became SATA. Exactly where I am not sure but I looked on 2 or 3 parts websites and they were selling PATA/IDE drives as replacements for your exact model. I am possibly mistaken, though and your drive could well be a SATA. You can resolve the issue yourself. Pull the old drive and see what it is. It will take 5 minutes.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
Cheers!

After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10 When I attpemt to use "Tools/File/File Save As" from IE 11 I get a "Adobe Reader is not Responding" and my browser is locked up.

After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10. when I attempt to save an online PDF to my local drive I receive a blank window where I would expect to see file directory structure to save to.
No local directories are displayed for "Saving To", it is all blank. When I try to Close (by clicking X) the "File Save As" box a message pops up on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding" It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
I then need to go Task Manager and stop the IE task. All my browser windows are then closed.
That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.
This was not happening in previous versions of Reader.
Tolls/File/File Save As always worked properly.
I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)

Please don't post the same question multiple times!

Ipod not connecting again, apple please read this.

First let me state that I made posts awhile back about my Ipod touch not being able to be recognized by itunes at all and just as a camera by windows. Now every single guide did nothing to help and the FEW people that posted had posted things I already did that did not help.
HOWEVER the version of Itunes that was prior to the one I just downloaded connected PERFECTLY with no issues.
But I just updates and wouldnt you know it, the connection problem is BACK. Apple please read this, the last version of Itunes had something different with how it connected to the Ipod...PLEASE bring that back, its so inconvenient not being able to connect to my own Ipod
If someone wants to post a reply that might help feel free...but everything on this website and even a few others not posted here have not worked, this is mostly me praying that Apple reads it...that tiny difference on how it connected made a huge difference with my computer.

Thanks. I worked out a simpler method of turning off the internet access - just switching off my wireless modem. Either way, this works and with the PC not connected to the internet, all three Apple devies will sync.
Thinking about it now, I had a similar problem a few versions ago which I recognised because with Home Sharing on and connected to the internet iTunes was trying to find files from someone in another hotel room who also sharing the hotel's wireless network. My devices would not sync then either. This seemed to be resolved with subsequent itunes upgrades until now ....
Thanks for the advice. Let's hope Apple's next 'update' actually updates itunes so it can sync Apple devices whilst simultaneously connected to the internet (not a big ask really).

Control + minus zoom out - please read

I use the control + minus for zooming out with my left hand (using control key on RIGHT side of keyboard and don't need to remove right hand from mouse) so often it's subconscious. Now, when I use that keystroke it turns the cursor into the minus pen tool. PLEASE READ FURTHER.
If I remove my hand from the mouse and use the control key on the LEFT side of the keyboard it works but I don't want to have to do that. I have upgraded from CS4 to CS5, and it is still doing this, AND got a brand new keyboard. It works fine in Photoshop - it just does this in illustrator, and it's driving me NUTS. so it's not my keyboard, and it shouldn't be illustrator since I upgraded. WHAT is going on? I need this to function because I use it all the time and don't want to have to think before doing it, or have to slow myself down by using both hands. HELP! (and thanks to anyone who can tell me how to get out of this loop of hell!)
[p.s. will be out of office for next week so may not be able to respond after today]

Edit >> Keyboard Shrcuts
Though the PC or Mac both don't discrimate whether you use the left or right CMD or Ctrl in Illustrator, I would still check these out.
The PC also has a control panel for international keyboard languages & assistance for handicapped, take a look at those. I don't have a Win station in front of me at the moment to give you the exact name of those.

Is it time for a new SSD? Please read my story, my battle with my M4 Crucial SSD

This is whats been happening the past couple of days and what I have been doing to try and isolate what is causing my fresh win7 install to have so many issues running. IMO, i've narrowed it down to be an issue with my SSD, and not my RAM. Please read, and advise. So I changed out my p8z68 MB and ivy bridge CPU for a new maximus VII hero and Devils Canyon Haswell cpu. After installing windows I noticed it was running sluggish and would not install updates successfully or without crashing.Over 3 attempts of reinstalling win7 64bit. The build kept crashing, failed to fix windows startup, MBR error 01 or getting the BSOD. I firt tested my RAM... I ran memtest86 with 100% pass and found and isolated that 1 of the 4 x4gb of my Black Vengeance Corsair ram had errors on it (ram is 3 years old in use). I ended up taking those out and replacing with brand new 2 x 4gb Gskill sniper sticks I had still in packaging. I re-ran Memtest86 on the new RAM just to be sure and ....no errors. I want to emphasise that by now I've reinstalled window 3 times on this build upgrade....noticing a lot of lag, in windows after fresh install . Especially when opening programs like windows update windows as well as other things like, device manager or even a Web browser. If I have more than one window open. My hard SSD LED on my front panel, lights up like it's busy, browser and programs freeze or I get a program "not responding" error, on top until I wait it out...then it disapears. Finally I did another OS install..this time and after much research, I made sure to run a Secure Clean All, on my Crucial M4 SSD (it too has been used for the past 3 year). I had already updated its firmware to 070H a long time ago. I also made sure I had the most current Intel, SATA, VGA, LAN, and sound drivers were downloaded. Durring Windows update it reached 140 of 149 updates before receiving a BSOD again even with the new ram! After Reboot... I went in and this time before running Windows update...again, I made sure all my services were closed and did a "CLEAN" Boot to windows. Doing this finally made my system able to dowload all the updates successfuly. Ok so now that Win7 is fully updated, I got my antivirus ..norton on. More updates, with little issue. But I still notice while my SSD is writing, I say thats what its doing when my computers fornt panel LED is flashing, that the program / software/ game im installing freezes, until it has a chance to "Catch up" , Or install fails, or for instance dowloading patches, updated to games..they have been failing oh and just now for the second time...SKYPE has disconnected itself giving me a I/O error. So these are all my symptoms and what I've tried. To my knowlege the M4 SSD model doesnt have any kind of software to help aid in determining its health . And is why I am here now typing to you all . Is it time to get a new SSD?? What else can I try? Thanks, Christopher.

Hi cswann821,
Is the system overclocked or with default clocks?
Note that your motherboard has two SATA controllers, Intel Z97 with SATA6G_1-6 red connectors and ASMedia controller also with red connectors SATA6G_E1/2. Are you using Intel or ASMedia controlled port?
What do you mean by 'Secure Clean All', what exactly did you do? It is probably not relevant to former issues but note that some tools do 'overwrite with zeroes'. It is not good for SSDs and works completely different than ATA command 'secure erase'.
Check what SATA port is being used and if it is Intel make sure what driver version is in use. You can check it with Device manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers -> right click on the selected controller -> Properties -> Driver tab
To check health of the SSD you can use CrystalDiskInfo. Please post SMART data of the drive - use 'Edit > Copy' option, just please remove drive's serial number.

iOS 4.2.1 is the latest version of iOS for the 3G.
Facebook and Whatsapp both require 4.3 or higher.
If you want to use those apps, either use the old version that should be in your iTunes library or upgrade the hardware to a 3GS or newer device.

No recognition of special characters after upgrading to Adobe Reader X

Hello all,
we use a document-manager-software "Accantum" to scan and to archive PDFs. After upgrading to Adobe Reader X no german special characters (e.g. äöüß ...) are recognized by the document-manager. All words with special characters look fine on screen or printer, only the recognition by the document-manager outputs either "%" or no character in the destination-PDF-file. Scanning a version 9.x - PDF is still working fine.
Please give me a little hint
Thanks. Stephan

I don' think so, cause AR 9x -documents of the identical source are recognized absolutely correct and the error occurred exactly after upgrading to AR X (10.0.1).
Perhaps there is a way to look into the OCR-Text embedded in the PDF-file?
Thanks
Stephan

I am now unable to print pdf documents. The message on screen says I have not selected any pages to print, even though the bullet point saying 'All' pages has been clicked. I have recently upgraded to adobe reader XI, could that be the problem? I also cannot sign in to Adobe Export pdf now either. It says 'error occured while signing in'!

Regarding the ExportPDF problem, please start a new topic in the ExportPDF forum.

Similar problem; but how can I resume opening pdf’s in IE while maintaining the protection benefits of Protected Mode by keeping it enabled (I have not tried disabling it)?
Need help resolving newly discovered problem wherein all of sudden I can no longer open and display pdf files within IE and but end up with a blank screen [shows blue loading gauge 55.8kb/55.8kb for example doc] unless I down load the pdf file and then open it using Reader XI ver 11.0.2 [Plug-Ins 11.0.01.36] which opens the files just fine. Eventual Error Msg = “There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try attain (103:103)”. Reader Protected Mode: Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with you sys config. Etc. “Do not open with Protected Mode disabled” is selected.

I upgraded to Adobe Reader X 10.1.3, why cant I save .pdf now, Win XP Pro

I upgraded to Adobe Reader X 10.1.3.
Now I can't save pdfs to disk.
It is always telling me disk full or protected.
I am using XP pro with full admin rights.
Reading boards here I see no Firefox support so I even tried IE 8 thinking maybe browser. Nope same deal.
Ahh wait let's try saving to other folders on c:\drive no, let's try usb stick, that works. But don't always have stick.
would like to save to my pdf specific file on c:\drive
Any ideas?

Thanks for trying the steps! It does not seem to be a permission issue.
1. Were you able to save this PDF via the normal route that you follow i.e. saving the PDF after rendering the same.?
2. For any file with which you are facing this error, can you try changing the name of the file to something else and see if you face the same issue?
3. Does the Save As feature work in the Standalone Reader application?
4. Please try and delete all folders (or atleast whatever is possible) from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0 (Assuming you installed the program in the default location). Now repair the installation from within the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
It would be great if you could also let me know which Antivirus software are you using. Does disabling the same help?

I can't find the scroll option on the latest version upgrade in Adobe Reader.

I can't find the scroll option on the latest version upgrade in Adobe Reader. Can someone please help me find it or activate it? I have the latest version X1 version 11.0.2. Thank you

I have never seen that (scroll bar disappearing); it should always be there if a document length exceeds the current view.
What is your operating system? Are these local or online documents? If online, in what browser?
P.S. this is how my Reader 11.0.2 on Windows 7 looks when I open any PDF document

Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to, and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet. This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade. Please advise.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.
