Has to be more than a dvd problem...

Lucky me, my warranty expired last week...it's as if they have a button, once your warranty is up...BAM. I kid.
In the year I've had my PB I had to replace the superdrive. It worked fine for a while. I'm talking store bought DVD's. Then after a while dvd's would only start up if I had the pointer over the controller making it stay up. If I didn't the numbers would stay at zero even though it shows up on the desktop and dvd still spins. No error message, only way to remedy is a force quit. That was until two days ago. Now the dvd player won't start unless I have the force quit screen open...Am I crazy or is this really possible...
Also for about the past week all my apps. have been opening very slowly. Yahoo instant messenger I used to open and be on in a matter of seconds...I timed it, now it takes 1min. 13secs. Along with that, my DSL has been slowere than normal. In safari the bar you type in the web address is where you see how far loading of the site is, right? When I first started the bar would really quick load and just be blue...now it goes really really slow and is purple first, if I hit enter it turns blue but still loads slowly...
I don't expect any one person to have all the answers, as I stated earlier my warranty just expired so, any suggestions or anything would be greatly appriciated...thanks... P.S. Am I the only one this has happened to?

Have you checked your HD surface scan? You can check that using Techtools pro or drive genius and scan the HD.
If there are any bad blocks/sectors in your HD it could gives the problem like you described.
Hope this help
Flippo
PS: if your HD does have bad blocks/sectors this manual will help you to replace the HD.

  • Burning more than one dvd

    Anyone know of a way to burn more than one DVD at a time with DVD studio Pro if you have two burners in your machine?

    Hi Mossie,
    I got a product this summer - Dragon Burn from NTI.
    http://www.ntius.com/dragon_burn.asp
    It's not as easy as Toast, but works pretty well. There are a few extra steps to creating the disc image to burn from , but not too bad.
    Give it a try. They have a demo on the site.

  • Need help: Dimensional column has assoc with more than 1 level

    Hi,
    I am trying to have multiple drill paths for a single dimension. For example, the Date dimension should be navigable by the following hierarchies:
    DateDimension
    +---- Calendar Year
    ......---- Calendar Quarter
    ............--- Calendar Month
    ..................-- Day
    +---- Calendar Year
    ......---- Day
    So, in other words, in Answers I should be able to add 'Calendar Year' to my report, display results, and then click down the path Calendar Year -> Calendar Quarter -> Calendar Month -> Day OR Calendar Year -> Day.
    However, when I model this in the Admin tool, it allows it, but then I add the column in Answers and get a runtime error:
    +[nQSError: 14064] Dimensional column [column name] has associations with more than one level+
    This is possible in BO and other tools. If it is not possible in Oracle BI EE, then one alternative would be to have two separate versions of 'Calendar Year' added to the report in Answers, each with their own drill path.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi,
    You try this one .
    Create the Hierarchy Year --> Quarter--->Month-->Week-->Day in rpd as usual manner .But in Year report use navigate option in column properties add Quarterly Report (Caption it as 'Quarter')and Day level report(Caption it as 'Day') in navigate option.So when you click on Year column it i will prompt to select either Quarter or Day and when u select Quarter u will have normal drill functionality from Quarter to Month to Week and Day.Hope this helps you.
    Thanks.

    It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

    Standard practices:
    Restart the device (power off completely, then back on) - retest.
    Reset (hold sleep wake and home buttons until apple logo appears) - you can try this, but it is most useful when your device is frozen.
    Restore to factory settings - retest.
    Make an appointment at an Apple retail store genius bar if the above did not resolve the issue.

  • Encore can't burn more than one DVD at a time: Sense Code 56400

    For a long time now I've been unable to burn multiple DVD's at a time. I burn more than one and I get an error and have to make a coaster out of yet another DVD
    I just upgraded to 24 gb of DDR3 PC 1600 RAM, I have an 6 Core Processor, I have 7.8 on everything accept my hard drive which is 7.0 out of 7.9 according to my Windows 7 Pro. 64 bit system.
    I have 2 different DVD burners, one is a blu-ray burner too. I have the same issues, only different error readings it seems, on both drives. The first drive didn't burn even one for some reason so I tried the second. The second drive would burned 3 and on the fourth I got the errors' which I've included screen shots of below. I was surprised I got through three before I got to this error. By the end of the week I have a large project I need to make 30 DVD's of. HELP!!!!!
    A long time ago on my older machine I had similar problems and I went through different drives and discs until I seemed to come up with the magic combination which seemed to be a Plextor burner and Verbatim. But, then i got a bad batch of verbatim and tried Maxell and used those successfully for a while. Right now I'm using what a friend gave me, TDK's. I'm wondering if that's what the problem is... HELP!!!!

    I have managed to get it to work consistently now. I just burned 20 DVD's without a problem.
    I tried everything you suggested except the imageburn software. I didn't like that site, I was too anxious to try and figure out where to download that software in the midst of all the advertisements on that site.
    After clearing out everything in startup and services except what I needed I still wasn't able to burn successfully. Finally I went and purchased some Verbatim DVD-R discs and wahlah! Actually, after the first try with the verbatim I had an error code when trying to burn with Encore. So, I created and image file as you suggested and then I used Cyberlink's Power2Go to burn the image file and from there on it seems everything is solid.
    I think the biggest problem was using TDK discs. I came to the realization a few years ago that certain disks are not as predictable as others and that verbatim and maxell seem to be the best. I did get one bad batch of verbatim though one time and that's when I switched to Maxell. My friend gave me 200 of the TDK's and I've been having problems ever since. But, I wasn't sure what it was exactly because he gave me those around the same time I rebuilt my system.
    I had also found the Plextor seems to be the best bet for burners. But, I had been using an HP one lately and thought maybe that was the problem. However, now it seems to be fine.
    I really don't know what fixed it. I mean, nothing definitely worked until I started using the Verbatim today. But, that first verbatim erroring perplexed me. I had done some other things too, like removed some programs, like a bunch of HP printer crap. I even removed my virus software, Window Security Essentials. I just reinstalled it so now I'm wondering if I can burn as consistently. I had seen somewhere where someone said they removed Windows' Defender to get theirs working.
    Anyways, I guess what I need to do is format my main hard drive, only put adobe stuff on it, and then take my old computer set it up for everything else. That'll probably be the best thing to do... If I have anymore problems like this I'm doing that right away!

  • MS Outlook 2010 - Group by subject and show messages which has count of more than four

    Hi there,
    Like everyone I have hundreds of emails hitting me daily. I always wanted these two ways enabled in outlook to reduce my inbox. Can anyone let me know if this is possible, if not MS product team you got a request.
    1) Outlook lets us to group all the messages by subject BUT it doesn't sort by the highest amount messages.
    Ex: Out of 100 messages in inbox, lets say msg A: same subject - 10 emails; msg B: same subject - 5 emails... rest are single subject eamils.
    when i group by subject i would want msg A and msg B to show first, so that i can take action.
    2) Same concept but want to filter only emails which has more than FOUR replies on the same subject
    Thanks for taking look at my questions.

    Just wanted to say hi and check if there is anything else that I can do for you on this problem.If so, please do not hesitate to let me know and I
    will be happy to help.

  • Has anyone used more than one event for one project?

    Hi,
    I have an opinion about Final Cut Pro X that hasn't changed since my first few days with it.  I waited to see if I would get used to it.  But, after a fair amount of time, I still am not comfortable with 'Events' and 'Projects'.  The separation of the media and projects creates more problems than solutions with my workflow.
    The purpose of it was to add flexibility for both the professionals and consumers using it, but my first impressions are still the same.  The new Event and Project system adds complexity to organization and archiving.  I wouldn't write this if it wasn't enough of a hindrance for me, that I encounter constantly.  I think the new Final Cut Pro X is incredible, but this issue is definitely important to me.
    Has anyone out there used more than 1 Event for 1 Project?  Some of us create more than 1 Project for an Event, to make different version of a video, or for brainstorming, or to make a part 1 and part 2 of a video, but I've never had more than 1 Event for 1 Project.  I don't need to use the media from multiple Events for the same Project.  And I've never used it for a reason.  I don't think someone will want to use their Hawaii vacation footage for a Denver vacation project, and a Florida vacation project.  I think we should bring back the connection between Events and Projects in a meaningful way. 
    This is a throw back to the older days, but that's not always a bad thing.  Let us keep our projects, or timelines, in the Events folder.  Make an area above the JPG section, and PNG section, and MOV section, and call it the Projects section.  Then we can easily find our Projects and add a new Project every time we need it, and organize our files quickly - without having to keep track of more windows. Final Cut Pro X is all about being more simplified than other video programs, and I think this goes right along with that idea.
    Thanks,
    - David

    My original fear was that FCPX was just going to be iMovie Pro... It so is not!
    People use the interface in different ways. I think that's what most of us like about it, it's flexibiity to accommodate different types of workflows.  For me, I use the Events browser mostly like I'd be using the Finder. All the imported clips I use are referenced by the hard disks on which they reside. I know where to find them in the Event Browser and I know where to find them in the Finder.  I use a lot of stock footage and therefore *reuse* a lot of stock footage from project to project. I'm not going to re-import duplicates into different events because I don't find that the least bit convenient and I do find it a terrible waste of precious HD real estate.
    But that's me.
    Some people like to load up everything they're going to use in a single project in a single event... I get that. You can command click your way through a bunch of clips, type E and everything is automatically arranged on your storyline in the order you selected the clips. That is *awesome*!! Instant storyline (/timeline.) Furthermore, for those that need to share projects, it's easier to bundle up the events and projects if they're all together (albeit in two different folders) on one disk (— at least they are always at the top level of the drive and easy to find.)
    Keeping your Events media in a different location (satellite drives) and keeping your current project on your *fastest* drive is probably the fastest way to edit (particularly if your satellite drives are Firewire or Thunderbolt [peer-to-peer interfaces don't hog system resources].) There is little cross interference in disk accesses that way. So essentially, you can keep FCPX dealing with original clip data that doesn't need to be quite as fast, reading and writing to slower drives on your system, while letting it plow through the heavy work on your fastest access drive (usually your internal HD.)
    By no means is FCPX "more simplified". It has a huge amount of power. It has all the best parts of Color, Soundtrack Pro and Motion built in. It allows you to explore *ideas* in real time rather than having to plan for them a week in advance [layout, round-tripping plans to Color, STP and/or Motion for titling or effects.]  You can grab and move around elements anywhere on your "palette" with simple mouse moves and an occasional key press. The list goes on. Bottom line, it doesn't matter how you organize your events or your projects. It's all about the finished product. And for me, I can turn that around in about 1/5th the time (not claiming it's great — but I think better results in 20% of the time, on average, than it would have taken in Studio.) [Not a professional video editor -- I'm a graphic designer, and I develop Motion graphics for FCPX to make all "you guys" look better.]

  • HT201317 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iphone4 that has been taken more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 that I took more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

    I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
    My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
    The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
    Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

  • My HP Office jet Pro 8500A all in one printer-A9​10a has stopped printing more than 1 or 2 pages

    My printer (wireless) has all of a sudden stopped printing more than 2 pages from a multiple page document. Any suggestions/

    HI RODA80,
    Welcome to the HP support forums.  I understand that when you are printing a multiple page document on your Officejet Pro 8500a that only the first 2 pages print.
    To better understand the issue would you please provide some further information:
    1)    What operating system are you using (Windows 7, Mac 10.8, or Windows 8, etc)?
    2)    Is this happening for all multiple page documents or just one?
    3)    Has a default of only printing the first 2 pages been accidentally set?
    Thank you.

    if you have enough room on the disc for two copies of the footage, then what you are doing is an acceptable way to go. make sure your menu buttons link to the correct track, and force the correct subpicture stream to play.

  • Attempt at web store purchase has left me more than angry

    Yesterday I tried to purchase a Dv7tqe from the HP webstore, I'm currently in the US for a month or so before returning back to New Zealand. My previous laptop (HP Dv5) died so I required a replacement.
    I Found out the hard way that the HP webstore requires you to have a US billing address, since i'm only here temporarily I don't have a US billing address tied to my credit card.
    I contacted support about this issue asking them if there was A way I could purchase the machine without the US account, the reply was not to dissimilar to politely {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} It was suggested that I either move my bank acct to the US or get someone from the US to buy it for me.
    I don't really think i'm about to put an ad in the paper for someone to purchase a $1600 computer for me on the off chance I will pay them back.
    I told the rep it was quite urgent that I get the laptop, it was obviously in HP's best intentions to reccomend I buy it from the NZ store (a very handy reccomendation) which is great, because i'm in the US right now, nowhere near NZ, whats the point in buying it there? in fact you don't even offer the machine in NZ. And whats even more great is the NZ site doesn't even WORK. how handy is THAT??
    So I was basicly told, we do not give a flying {Content Removed} about the fact your company really requires a laptop, how about you go to a site that doesn't work, based in another country and try and buy it there while I sit and laugh at your pitiful attempts at life.
    I also emailed them earlier (since chat was offline) 28 hours later, and still no reply. You claim that in 24hrs a rep will reply, it seems that is a lie (and also contradicts the email you sent saying within 48 hrs)
    So unless someone in HP feels like most graciously rectifying my prediciment I feel that I will never look twice at HP (since I can't get them from the NZ store anyway) i'm not sure what i'll get next because although you don't want to sell me your product I kind of need to buy it because they are generally relatively good. still it seems that I won't be buying an HP any time soon unless this gets fixed.
    Kindly digruntled regards
    M McCardle
    PS, on a positive note, since everone is so angry (me included) around here. at times support has been great, big thanks to the guy who talked at great lengths about processors for Dv5's
    PPS, i'm still really pissed off about the whole issue though, please fix it

  • Burning more than two DVDs in a row impossible?

    Hi,
    I have a rather big project that needs a DVD DL to fit on one disc. Following the instructions in the iDVD help, I'd like to make several copies directly from iDVD without using a disk image because burning from a disk image does not comply with the standards for a DVD DL.
    My problem: Encoding takes a long time. After burning the first disk, iDVD prompts me to insert another one to burn on so you don't have to do the encoding again. When about five minutes are left to finish this second disk, iDVD ejects the disk. But the remaining time still runs. And when reaching the point "about one minute left", nothing more happens. I have to cancel the process. Consequently, when I want to burn another disk, I have to do the complete encoding again - which I do not want, of course, because it'll take ages until I have done all my copies.
    Any ideas about this?? Thanks!

    When I've made DL DVDs, I've created a disc image and then burn to Verbatim DVD+R DL at slow speed.
    ...because burning from a disk image does not comply with the standards for a DVD DL.
    Why not?
    There is always some concern that creating a disk image file won't properly set the dual-layer break point. Anecdotal information in the forum suggest this isn't a really a problem.

  • HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

    Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
    Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
    How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
