Hi, have 5 pavilion DV9000 laptops to service. Do I need to add copper shims to the video & NB chip?

Hi,
I know there was a problem with thermal cooling of the vieo chips on some of the models. As a precaution to keep my customers happy I would like to modify these to last. All systems will run Windows 7 Home Premium.
There is a "cult" folowing on these and I own 2 myself. All of these are getting replacement motherboards which includes the extra 256mb or 512mb Nvidia video chips.
I make copper shims at my business here in Albany, Oregon for water and air cooled systems and would very much appreciate any advise you can offer. There are many opinions on the internet but none from HP directly. Thank you very much.

Hi:
The easist thing to do is to look in your device manager and write down all of the major hardware components listed by model (graphics, audio network controllers, etc).
Then you will know what drivers you need.
If your notebook has switchable graphics, you will need both video drivers.

Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 which has always had very low volume - really needs to be increased?

Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 with Vista Ultimate 64. It has always had very low volume and I find I generally have to have the volume up into the 70's 80's as well as the onscreen media player slider almost full - which then gets all distorted - and then have to turn it down again when not using the player as the computer error beeps come screaming out., Ive checked the settings on speakers to make sure all are the same & balanced and also have updated any codecs as needed. Is there a sound lever setting elsewhere?
cheers

Thanks for the reply and peeling my post off Mike, sorry I didn't start my own initially.
Well @ 1333Mhz I was using the rated timings 9-9-9-24 (as per Corsair) but it wasn't very stable as I said.
I have since changed the FSB/RAM ratio to get 1066Mhz and it seemed much happier. (@1.5v) It would be nice to run the RAM at it's rated setting but my OC skills aren't that extensive. I imagine it would need alot of tweeking? Or could I have just relaxed the timings a bit?
Would removing the Switch Cards make any difference?
Thanks in advance.

Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.

I am a new Apple user and had a visitor, with an iPad, at my house. I noticed the response time slowed greatly. I have a Linksys N router and wondered is I need an Apple router to allow the speed to be consistent.

How to add photos to a saved book?

If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, laptop and android, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?

If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, between my Windows XP laptop and android phone, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?
For example, if i add a password manager add-on to my PC, will that same add-on go onto my phone? Or will i have to separately add it again to my phone?
If I do have to add it separately, then what exactly IS the add-on syncing doing?

hmmm... i have no idea what the "install.rdf file" of an extension) is? or how to check that?
thanks!

I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions in Windows. I need to add a vendor (Harper Collins). How do I do that?

I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions to a Windows PC. I want to download a book and need to add a vendor (in this case, Harper Collins). I cannot find a menu or other option that allows that. How do I add a vendor? Please be very specific.

Hi pastore27-
You should be able to print documents from webpages using Firefox. The print button should display by default. However, it is possible it was removed during an upgrade or due to custom preferences. The way to fix it:
# Firefox > View > toolbars > customize
# Select the printer icon and drag it to your browser window
I also found a Support article on restoring toolbars, as you said the toolbar was missing:
[[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]
I hope that helps!

Hi all,
I have recently bought a new laptop.
My old desktop PC has been used to sync and back-up my iPhone4.
However, when I installed itunes on the new laptop and tried to sync the iphone I got the message
"iPhone can only be synced with one iTunes library"
How can designate my new laptop as the one wheer I can sync and back-up my iPhone?
Old PC: Windows XP
New PC: Windows 7
Can somebody please send me step by step guide as im a novice with PC/iTunes
Hope somebody can help.
Thanks in advance.

It will clear the phone. You need to restore the backup you made of your important files from the old computer (surely no one in the third millennium who uses a computer does not back it up regularly).
You can recover iTunes-purchased music, videos and apps from the phone, but not music from other sources. Connect the phone, do not sync, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the File menu.
Photos in the Camera Roll can be transferred buy using the Camera Wizard on your computer.
Contacts and Calendar can be synced with apps on your computer; just make sure there is at least one entry in each app on the computer before syncing.
You are out of luck if you have photos in the Photo app on the phone; there are apps for your computer that can extract them, but they will be lower resolution than originals because they have been optimized for the iPhone's resolution.

Why does my i phone i have runnning on a net 10 service say it needs restore everyday when service bar dies out?

how can i get my i phone to restore ? im using an iphone4 with a net10 service and it makes me restor settings everyday if my sevice bar compleetly dies out. how come its making me restore literally everyday?

Not only was switching way too difficult to do and way too time consuming, but the guy we dealt with at the store we were at told us to go ahead and pay the last bill and it would be reimbursed. We didn't get reimbursed, and we were sent our next bill which we paid without the difference of the last bill we paid. That is the amount we are being charged for right now. I feel it could be easily fixed to just move that last payment from the last account over to the new account. All I know is that I am not going to be paying that bill twice when I have been paying on time since we started using Verizon back in 2005.

I have an old Mac laptop that Apple no longer supports -- so, I can't download the latest version of iTunes. Also, I got a new iPhone that won't communicate with my old version of iTunes. How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my new phone?

Old version of iTunes on laptop won't transfer music to my new iPhone.

Your profile shows you are running Lion (10.7.5). If this is the case, you certainly can sync with a new iPhone. If you are not running Lion, you will need to upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8). See below to purchase.

I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

I need to add a website to the sites which are allowed to install add-ons & have instructions to do so but do not have a yellow bar across the top of my screen in order to click on "Edit Options."

I tried to install an update for Adobe Reader but Mozilla Firefox will not install it until I add them to the Allowed List. The first step is to click on "Edit Options" in the yellow bar across the top, but i don't have a yellow bar or actually anything that says Edit Options.
== I needed to install an update for Adobe Reader

The instructions on the Adobe site are outdated and do no longer apply to current Firefox versions and you can ignore those instructions and save the Adobe installer to your desktop and start the installation with a double-click on that file.
See [[How do I edit options to add Adobe to the list of allowed sites]]

I have been a strong supporter against Microsoft for may years - Your Add-In support on the latest is pathetically slow, now with adobe not installing/updating properly - NOT IMPRESSED, GOOGLE CHROME (With all it's issues) seems a better Choice???

Adode won't update correctly!, Add-On Manager - slow to the point of Unusable, What's the Problem???

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

HT1443 I have an imac running os 10.4.11 and need to upgrade. What is the procedure and how high should i go as far as what os?

Help?

First:
What specific iMac model do you have?
Why do you need to upgrade?
Are you prepared to spend money on upgrading?
To find out what model you have open System Profile in the Utilities folder and report what you find displayed for the Model Identifier.
