Hardwear problem?

Today when I went to repair disk permissions I noticed the top line in the drives was in red and says the the disk has a hardware problem that cannot be repaired! I repaired the disk permissions and all seems OK. The second line "macintosh HD is OK?? Help

Befdore repairing permissions you should complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Does anyone have auto brightness problem?

hi
I just got an ipod touch replacement yesterday and i just realize my auto brightness setting is weird. Because sometime when i drag the on button but the auto brightness is off. But when i drag the off button the auto brightness is on. do u guys think is the softwear problem or hardwear problem? Also do u guys think that i should go back to bestbuy and exchange it?

I can confirm the auto-brightness works on my 5th week iPod Touch 32GB.
I've run some experiments and I think I've got it covered right now. Let me explain.
First of all the slider has to be the minimum brightness this is the amount of brightness you start with when you unsleep/powerup your device. This is easy to test and verify because if you push the slider to the outer left and you put your device into sleep and wake it again (in a dark room) then you'll have a very dim screen; with the lowest possible brightness setting. I then turned on my strong desk light and after approximately 1 second an amount of brightness kicked in to compensate for the extra light shining directly at my ipod.
I can also confirm that it doesn't work backwards, because when I turned off my desk light, the previously added brightness did not go away. My iPod didn't revert to the very dim screen. But when I put my ipod to sleep and wake it yet again (with desk light turned off) I had yet again the very dimmed screen. So it can be confirmed that, at least on my device, putting the device to sleep and wake will trigger the ambi light sensor.
Secondly I've put the slider to approximately 1/6th of a full bar; I find 1/6th of a bar a perfect minimal brightness setting for use in a dark room. So yet again I've put my iPod to sleep in a dark room. After waking it up it launched with 1/6th of brightness level. Then I switched on my strong desk light again and after approximately 2/3 seconds this time it added more brightness to compensate for the light.
In both situations I don't know exactly how much brightness there was added but I think it's percentage based on the amount there has to be compensated for the extra light source that's shining directly on the iPod.
For a final test I've put the slider to like 5/6th, which is a very bright setting, totally not necessary to have as a minimal brightness setting but let's use it for this test. Put iPod to sleep, wake it up again (yet again a dark room). The iPod launches with a very bright screen now (5/6th of its capacity). Now let's shine the desk light again directly onto the iPod. This time it enhanced the brightness a tiny little bit, almost unnoticeable. But it did compensate a little bit for the extra light. It only has to compensate for a little bit anyways because the minimal brightness level was already set to 5/6th of the bar.
So to conclude:
* auto-brightness on iPod Touch 32GB works
* the slider is used to set the minimal brightness level
* brightness compensation kicks in at roughly 1-3 seconds after you've awaken the iPod and is under the influence of a strong light source
* after auto-brightness compensated the brightness it will not revert to a more dimmed screen unless you put the ipod to sleep again and wake it up
I hope this clears things up for all those who are having doubts.

N6210 main keyboar with problem. HELP!

Hi, please help me.
My 6210 navigator mobile phone does not seem to be functioning properly.
When i use left key it does nothing, but wen i try to use right key he selects instead of exiting the menu.
The center key does not seam to work either. If i push it a bit harder it goes down or up. Can anyone help me. Is this a software or hardware problem? THANKS!

try the following first if all this fails it could be a hardwear problem and a trip to a nokia care point is what is needed
as by rad 24
i believe that the standard should apply to your phone here is the list read carefully
With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!
NOTE: In front of the hash key ( #) there is also a STAR key that people often miss and state that the code does not work.
1.. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data) Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345.
2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
3. hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, /GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Is this a softwear problem or a hardwear problem??

I don't know if this will help but this here is a helpful Article ID: 300554 if this doesn't work I would suggest that you call apple tech support and after that you might need to send it in for repair

RE Toshiba Equium A60 PSA67E

Can someone help me please? We have installed A60 Laptop but the graphics dont seem to work properly and there are lines through the screen....Does anyone know why this is

Akuma,
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I followed that process. But it is still the same. It works normally with dicks allready having files on them but sees new ones as "full" and when I try and copy a file it says "windows has encountered a problem copying this file, what do you want windows to do?
Unfortunately "solve it!" isn't an option.
I get "cancel" or "try again". the window with files flying about then just goes on forever until I fall asleep. It there a plan B?
Thank you for your effort. THat looked good while I was doing it but no change. A friend suggested replacing the cd/dvd drive. Do you think it could be a hardwear problem like that when it wworks on part filled discs??
Regards, David

Help!! 3tracks of audio playing and it keeps on given m "core audio

ola my name is fedro.
i just bought an imac 2.16Gz i run logic pro 7 nothing else.
when i 1st install logic in my "1st imac" the logic crash a lot and the mute tool on the arranje window take about 5sec to mute. also the system performance runs realy high with only 5 audio track playing!! not normal after 300 calls to apple support they told m the mac must had a hardwear problem,after 2 visits to apple enggineers and a replaced the harddrive the mac still run logic very poorly.
They gave a replacement,but it does just the same.
i have only 3tracks of audio playing and it keeps on given m "core audio or hardisk to slow"messages iam shure i have enough memory!?

i run logic pro 7.2.0(954)imac 2.16Ghz 1Gb ram duo
core
Well geeze... that shoots my theory all to ****.
they just replace my first imac because of similar
problems:(((
do u guys get an 5sec delay on the mute tool"in the
arranje window)? when playing back audio??
No! Right now I'm mixing 10, 24-bit tracks from a location recording. Using 5 channel eqs, 2 Sonalksis eqs, 2 Sonalksis compressors and a wizoo convolution reverb (this is on a G4) and everything is pretty much instantaneous, about 45% processor usage.
Your computer is several times more powerful than what I'm using.
You're using internal audio?
Try updating Logic to the most recent version.
I find it hard to believe it's RAM or Disc related, but maybe so. I don't have any experience setting up the intel machines.
Fedro, are you running a bunch of plugins on the audio tracks? If so what are they.

Right USB port has exactly the same tasks as the left side one?

I v a USB sound cart (MBox 1 by digidesign)
Wen I use togeteher with it an external hard disk connected with USB (some time the fire wire is occupied by another hard disk) if the USB hard disk is on the left side (looking the screen) and the MBox on the right...the hard disk start making a "periodic" sound similar to a metronome and it doesn't run....if I invert the positions it work fine.
Is this normal ? The USB port works fine with the MBOX but with the USB Lacie hard disk is not working....the other USB port is working fine with both.
Is an hardweare problem ? Since my MBP is 2 weeks old I would consider the idea to send it to fix this problem.

This sounds like the same problem I'm having with my MacBook Pro. For whatever reason the USB port on the left side of the machine does not provide sufficient power to spin up any USB bus-powered hard drive. The USB port on the right side of the machine works just fine for external USB bus-powered devices.
I have sent my system back to Apple to have this problem fixed. Unfortunately, their "repair" did not fix the problem at all. I just got off the phone with Apple again, and they are going to re-repair my system again.
I would suggest that you try an experiment with your USB hard-drive. Just plug it into the left side port without having any other USB devices plugged into the right side. Check if the drive just clicks and does not spin up. Then try the same thing with the USB port on the right side.
If you find that the drive works fine on the right, but not on the left, I would call Apple support for a repair. I do not think this is an isolated issue, but rather is probably a design issue with the systems. The issue should have been caught during testing before the MacBook Pro went into production, but obviously that is not the case. Hopefully if enough people complain about this Apple will take it seriously and fix the problem.
Good luck.

Microphone not working when using a phone call, Microphone not working when using a phone call

Microphone is not working when i use my iphone 4, first day when i installed a iOS 7 , was all good, second day this happened. Please help me. When i use a Viber microphone working. I think this is not a hardwear problem.

Hi Mike
That was very helpful thank you.
I did as you suggested and found the "switch" was already turned on green. I swiched it off waited a while then turned it back on and microphone was back in use in viber. I have a sneaky feeling I may have to do this again in the future. I am not aware that I did anything that led to the microphone going off, but having said that I have only had the phone for a few days so may have done something when checking it out.
The phone has been a lot of fun after replacing my ancient Nokia with it. That Nokia worked in Morse code!
Best wishes

Flash fried my mac according to apple store. is flash 11 safe to use?

I have a 6 month old i7 mac book pro. i am a regular user of flash based games and one day i noticed that the mac was extreamly slow in booting and the top right corner of the mac would become VERY hot.
i took it to apple and they found no hardwear problems and reinstalled it. they did however tell me that it was the flash that was cousing the problems and i should not use it.
does anyone else have experience of this and do people know if the so called mac flash 11 is safe to use?
Thanks for your input.

While Flash does eat up CPU resources quite quickly, it isn't dangerous to use. Yes, it will cause your Mac to heat up, but the fans should keep up with the heat and you'll experience a thermal shutdown long before any damage could be caused.
I think that the techs are over-reacting... go ahead and use Flash.
My 2¢...

Normally the system will recognize that a PCI video card is installed. First check the BIOS and set the video to accept the new card. BTW: what Windows version is installed?

IPod Drive Problems

I have looked before asking, so I feel safe posting this brainteaser.
I have had my IPod for over a year and a half without any problems up until a few weeks ago. I forgot my charger at home and used my friends Apple to fill my battery. The problem was his comp automatically formated my IPod over to mac settings. No problem I thought to myself and went home to restore it to factory settings. When I finished restoring I went to reload all my music back onto the IPod. This is where the problems begin.
I'm using an older model IPod, 15gb with the 4 buttons and the scroll btw. When the IPod reaches the 1.24 mark an error message pops up saying "The drive is not ready for use, its door may be open. Please check drive \device\harddisk2\DR4 and make sure that a dirk is inserted and that the drive door is closed" and I have 3 options which are Cancel, Try Again and Continue. They all result in ITunes freezing up until I unplug my IPod.
I have tried the "5 R's" many times with no luck. I have also tried it on another friends PC with no luck. I was sure this was a hardware issue until I spoke to apple customer service, where the helpful man gave me a hint saying that it wasnt hardwear issue and that I could do something else. As we all know though you have to pay 60 dollars to find out what that something is.
So thats the problem any help would really be liked. Wierd issue that I havent been able to figure out so please ladies and gents what are your thoughts?

First things first the spinning beach ball is usually an indication that Search is going nuts.
Turn off Search entire Library by clicking on the downward pointing arrow to the right of the Magnisying glass and untick Search entire library.
Is your music still in iTunes on your new hard drive or is it only on your ipod?
If it is in your itunes then you should be able to plug in the iPod and uncheck Manually Manage music and sync
If the music is only on the ipod connect up as above click on the device and Drag all the music from your device to the library. then you can uncheck manually manage music and sync as normal

Crash on start up. Ran hardwear test got error code: 4SNS/1/40000000:IC0C-65.828

Have Mac Pro 13" crash on start up. I ran hardwear test got error code: 4SNS/1/40000000:IC0C-65.828
Mac is only 1.5 yrs old and out of warranty. I searched the net and found code= CPU0 problem but don't know if accurate. If CPU problem I guess a new logic board? I am pretty shocked I have a hardwear prob like this. Any ideas?

no one knows exactly what those codes mean except Apple techs. A guide/key explaining those codes has not been made public. While others in here can make vague gueses as to what it may be, you really need to bring your mac to an Apple store or AASP for evaluation.
