Has HP fixed its motherboard/HD issues yet?

It seems like I wasn't the only person who got the BIOHD-8 message on my computer as there seemed to be some serious problems with HP computers. Indeed, this is the second time my HP computer had died on me. After the first time, I would have thought HP would have fixed not just the computer but the underlying problem that caused all these problems. But, it seems like while HP replaced the computer, they just put in another faulty disk drive or motherboard.
If I bought anothe HP computer, would I still run into this problem or has HP fixed the underlying issues since then? Or, is an issue with all computers where you should expect a computer to only last a few years?

When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
The above requested information can be found on the side, back, or bottom of your computer. Please do not include your serial number.
I was unaware that HP had a motherboard or hard drive issue to fix. I have/had over a dozen different HP computers and only one has had a hard drive issue... and it wasn't a "BIOHD-8" error. None of my HP computers has had any type of motherboard issues. When a hard fails or begins to fail, you may receive a number of different error codes or messages. Typically these errors mean the hard drive is going bad but on rare occassions it could indicate a motherboard failure. The computer itself, should last many years... hard drives, however, may only last 6 months to a couple of years.

MS Security Update 896358 (Jun 2005) - has Adobe fixed this remote .chm problem yet?? Use another extension (not .chm)

I have RH 11. .chm extensions obviously were rendered useless remotely. Cannot undo the security thigns via the registry hacks that have bounded around the last 8+ years.
Has Adobe ever addressed this and fixed the vulnerability?
Do any of the other extensions get around this problem? I heard that web help was a bear.

LOL, so you are asking if Adobe has fixed a vulnerability issue with the proprietary Microsoft HTML Help viewer product?
Lots of folks quite successfully use WebHelp with no issue. Can you expound on what you mean by saying "it was a bear"?
Cheers... Rick

Has anyone solved the Apple ID issue yet?

My 4 year old iTunes ID, a Yahoo email, was disabled as I could not verify it. I could not verify it as I never received the verification email. I get the same problem when I try to reset. iForgot tells me the ID does not exist but when I try to set it up as a new ID I am told it is already in use. I have already removed the email from my .mac Apple ID. Apple support are not responding. Can anyone help? I have a lot of content tied to the Yahoo ID so I can not abandon it.

Has anybody fixed the play count issue?

Hey up, been having problems with play counts noy syncing and read about others with the same problems... Ive updated to iOS 5.1 and still the same issues. Rating are fine but thats about all!

It works, but it's still a bit quirky.
For me, it didn't work at all until this past Sunday (March 11) when iTunes on my Mac mysteriously turned turned Match off by itself. When I turned it on again (it went through the whole process of scanning and updating, but only took a couple of minutes), the play counts updated with the information from my phone. It's been working for me since then.
So if it's not working for you, I suggest making sure you have the most recent version of iTunes and turning iTunes Match off (in iTunes on your computer, not necessarily on your phone or IOS device), then turning it on again.
Sometimes it takes a long time for the information to show up. I think iTunes is still only periodically checking for changes, maybe once a day or when you log in to the iTunes store, etc. Sometimes the 1st song I play on the phone will be reflected on the Mac almost immediately, and the rest take a while longer to show up.
I don't track my play counts closely, I really don't care much about them, so I don't know if they are updating correctly. People in other discussions report seeing one play count as two and some other oddities - but I notice that things I play on my phone do show up (within a day or so) in my "recently played" playlist on the Mac.

Has Adobe fixed the cs3 print problem yet?

Please don't beat me up for failing to look for answers. I'm far from lazy. I've spent the last two days and nights trying to print out some portraits that came out too vertically elongated any way I printed.
I emailed nasty letters to Epson, feverishly searched the internet, only to discover on the internet that ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS3 was the problem. Something about not being able to print non-square images proportionately. Squares print out perfectly.
I went back and studied the program. The problem? If you measure the rulers on the screen (thaaaat's right! Physically hold a ruler to the screen!) the side ruler comes up short, so compensates through the printer.
What did I do in the short time I had left? I calculated the fake measures and the real measures, resized the images so they are proportionatly squished and they printed out perfect.
Am I going to have to do squish my work every time I want to print something not square? And please don't tell me that upgrading to cs4 (or whatever) is the answer. I paid money for cs3 and should get what I paid for.
Thanks!

Apparently, your notebook has an option for the type of screen.
http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3188
"The E1705 has two options for the screen, a 1440x900 WXGA+ matte screen or a 1920x1200 WUXGA glossy screen."
This is probably why you were able to use the 1920 x 1200 resolution setting.

Has Adobe fixed FTP in Dreamweaver CS6?

Has Adobe fixed the many FTP issues that plagued Dreamweaver CS6?
I have researched but all I find are lots and lots of unresolved issues with FTP. We absolutely need FTP to function properly. We cannot upgrade to DW CS 6 if CS 6 still breaks FTP.
Currently we are using DW CS 5.5 on Windows 7 Enterprise.
Thanks!

Hello,
it's well known, that In all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed troubleshooting. To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!

P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

IOS 5.1 or iPhone Configuration Profile 3.5 for Windows has not fixed the issue with apply Proxy Settings

iOS 5.1 or iPhone Configuration Profile 3.5 for Windows has not fixed the issue with apply Proxy Settings via a Configuration Profile. Has anyone else got the same issue? Are Mac users got this issue?

Has Premiere Elements 12 fixed the jittery playback issues from CS4?

I use Premiere Pro CS4 to edit my videos. I shoot with a Canon DSLR the 60D and import the video files straight into Premiere Pro without the extra transcoding step. (too much trouble to transcode the raw video with every clip). I get jittery and jerky motion in the left hand Source Monitor, when I make my in and out point edits. It plays fine once I have made my edits and render them in the right hand Program Monitor. I have heard that this has been fixed in version CS5 and higher. I can't afford to buy the CS program again, but could purchase Premiere Elements 12 the latest version. Would the jittery playback still be there in the left Source Monitor window of Elements 12, or has it been fixed in all forward versions newer than CS4?
Also if there is a way to make the imported video play smooth in the Source Monitor directly from CS4, without the transcoding process, I would like to hear about that for sure. Thanks for your help guys. Ken in Toronto.

Ken
I am surprised that the Premiere Pro group did not answer your Premiere Pro question before transferring your thread to the Premiere Elements Forum. The Premiere Pro question seems to be the immediate one. Your question seems to have been ignored by the Premiere Pro people
Also if there is a way to make the imported video play smooth in the Source Monitor directly from CS4, without the transcoding process, I would like to hear about that for sure.
An answer to that might avoid you having to get involved with a new program, Premiere Elements 12.
Nonetheless, I cannot offer you any guarantee about editing 60D footage in Premiere Elements 12. I would need lots of details of your specific video properties and computer environment to approach an answer. Your best and quickest answer will come from downloading and installing Premiere Elements 12 and determining its compatibility in your computer environment and if it meets your video editing needs.

Adobe Error 150:30 Its a licensing issue I guess...how do I fix this?

I just transferred CS4 onto my new mac but its telling me there is an "Error 150:30" Its a licensing issue I guess...how do I fix this so I can use the program on my new mac? Is it even possible to fix? I don't think I have the physical software anymore its been so long since I have had this program!

Klizb this often occurs when Adobe Creative applications are copied/transferred/migrated to a different computer. Please make sure to run any available uninstallers followed by the use of the CC Cleaner Tool to attempt to recover from the transfer process. You can find details on how to use the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
If you need to download a fresh copy of the retail installation files they are available at Download CS4 products.

I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once. I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
In my city small claims is $5000.00
And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

New upgrade Lion 10.7.1 has not fixed copying issues

I was happy to hear that Apple has listed fixing the problem with file transfer. However when I copied some songs into iTunes the songs are still greyed out and is not copying to the library which is located on my external drive using a Firewire 800 connection. Please Apple fix this soon!

Another tidbit here. When I came in today, it was dropping connection every 10-15 seconds . I walked around the floor with it, as I was watching the terminal , came back to wear I was sitting, and now the connection is stable and hasn't dropped but the response time is all over the board , from 1.500 ms to 8.079 ms.
While I was walking around, it dropped and reconnected a few times. The response time was horrible.
Now I can walk around with my Windows laptop doing the same thing, and it is stable.
Hope things things I experienced can help pinpoint the issue. Here is what I have logged today:

My iphone 4 is out of warranty and its screen has cracked but its completely working WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO GET IT FIX ?

PLEASE HELP
my iphone 4 is out of warranty and its screen has cracked but its completely working WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO GET IT FIX ?

$99 is the carrier's fully subsidized or discounted price which requires signing a new two year contract with the carrier. Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price which pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price off the full retail sales price has no effect on the existing contract nor requires signing a new contract with the carrier.

Have they fixed the double power draw yet?

I have had my t500 set on discreate only in bios to avoid the gpu double power draw problem when coming out of sleep. Has this been fixed yet? I would love to turn switchable graphics back on but its kinda a hassle just to check.
Has anyone checked lately?
Thanks!
Thinkpad T500 - Intel Core2 P8400 (2.26GHz), 4 gigs of ram, 160GB/7200rpm hard drive, ATI 3650 GPU, WSXGA+ panel

I'm not sure if the switchable GPU drivers have been fixed, although with my T400 I've been using hibernation instead of putting my system in a sleep state as a temporary fix. If you decide to use sleep, you can switch from integrated to discrete, then back to integrated again and it should fix the power draw issue. I do hope a driver fix is forthcoming, as this problem is definitely kinda annoying.
