  • How to get into Safe Mode (win7)

    I have a user who installed Windows 7 on his Mac (natively). He now has a virus - which means he needs to run his AV software in SAFE MODE (running a scan in normal mode is usually a waste of time).
    But.... how in the heck do I get his computer to boot into Safe Mode? On a PC, I would hit F8 at the Bios screen. But the Mac Bios is completely different.
    Or will hitting F8 still work?

    EFI is still a 'basic IO system' and while you can't booted into EFI setup screen, you can do Safe Mode. All computers have to bootstrap the system and have basic firmware supported method. UEFI will though have a harder time be adopted - though support for booting from GPT and 2.1TB volumes may force it.
    For AV, I would strongly recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, free and darn good which was updated yesterday.

  • How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12

    How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12 i know in other versions it was via get info but as all of the tunes have the same album title , I am not sure what tio change to achieve this ?

    I don't see your screenshot but I assume you're starting with something like this, i.e., the compilation split into multiple albums:
    If you select all the items that you want to be in a single album, right-click > Get Info you'll see this:
    As you say, in iTunes 12 you don't see a field to enter a distinct Album Artist value.  You can, however, address this by clicking the Add Field button and selecting Album Artist:
    That makes the field available in the metadata dialog so that you can enter the required value:
    You can also show the pre-iTunes 12 version of the dialog by holding the SHIFT key when selecting Get Info - this allows you to enter the Album Artist directly:

  • How to boot T42 into safe mode

    Hi all, first post.
    I have a T42 with Firefox 4 installed that is giving me trouble. I  want to be able to boot into safe mode to help troubleshoot the problem.
    I have tried to rebbot and use the F8 key but it does not work. I have tried the F11 key and the Access IBM button and both bring me to the Rescue and Recovery login which asks for a password. I don't have the password as I did not set it up. I read on the forums that I could delete and reinstall R&R and that would reset the password.
    I uninstalled R&R with rapid restore from the add/rmove programs panel (sorry, I don't remember which version). I have not tried to reinstall anything yet. When I reboot I still get the R&R ogin asking for a password. This leaves me with several questions.
    How do I get around R&R, do I need to uninstall something else?
    Is there a simpler way to just reset the password?
    How do I find out what version of R&R with RR I had and what should I replace it with. Apparently 4.23 may not be my best option. I assume the original Windows backup partition will still be there. I din not have any backups of my own.
    Finally, I just need to get into safe mode. Is there an easier way.
    Many thanks for any help!

    Try using the msconfig utility's boot tab to turn on the Safe boot checkbox, then restart.
    On Windows 7, I can just tap Windows+R, then type msconfig and press Enter. I think in XP, you might see a Run option somewhere on the start menu. Or if you can get into the Task Manager (press Ctrl+Shift+Esc ?), select File > New Task (Run) ...  Or even just browse for msconfig in C:\Windows\System32
    It sounds like maybe someone has set up a BIOS password -- this may be irrelevant to getting into safe mode.Or if there is a separate R&R password I never noticed, that should be irrelevant to Windows, too.

  • Firefox has gone into safe mode. what happened and how do i fix it?

    when i loaded firefox it went into safe mode and now firefox is useless

    How do you know it is in Safe Mode?
    Normally closing Firefox - Firefox button>Exit or File>Exit - and waiting a few seconds before re-opening should put you back into Normal Mode.
    If not, check with Task Manager and close Firefox if it is still running.
    Please sign in when you report back on progress. You may need to do some troubleshooting. Full system details would help.

  • How to run Lenovo t400 with Windows XP in safe mode

    Hi guys,
                  I caught a Spyware Portection Virus this morning while i was doing research on fish disease. The virus isn't letting me run any programs except Internet Explorer. I have found the program to delete it but I need a way to run it so the best way is to run Windows XP on safe mode. So how do you run windows xp in safe mode. I can't access the Microsoft Configuration program (msconfig). Any ideas of how to work through bios to boot up in sade mode?

    Hit F8 at the splash screen

  • How to boot your phone into safe mode

    If you experience any problem with your phone, booting it into safe mode can be a good idea to check if any third party applications might be involved in the problem you’re having.
    If you run your phone in safe mode for a while and you don’t experience any problem, the problem you’re having is most likely related to a third party app that you’ve installed.
    How to boot into safe mode differ from models to model and it can also be different depending on firmware version but this topic will explain to you how to do it.
    NOTE!
    Booting into safe mode may change personal UI customizations such as icons and folders.
    Later Xperia phones running on Android Jelly Bean (Android 4.1 or later)
    Press and hold the on/off key until you get this screen.
    Now tap and hold the Power off option until you see this screen.
    Press OK to reboot into safe mode.
    If you have successfully booted into safe mode you will see the text Safe mode in the bottom left corner.
    You can also boot into safe mode by turning off the phone and wait a few seconds. Now press and hold both the on/off and volume down (-) key. Keep pressing these two keys until the phone has booted completely.
    To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.
    Xperia phones using touch menu key running on Android GB (2.3.X) or ICS (4.0.X)
    Turn off your phone.  Wait a few seconds and then turn it on again. Now during the boot process start tapping the menu key continuously and keep tapping until the phone has booted completely. Not too fast, not too slow. The beat of Iron man by Black Sabbath is just right.
    To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.
    Xperia phones using hardware menu key
    Turn off your phone.  Wait a few seconds and then turn in on again. Now during the boot process press and hold the menu key until the phone has booted completely.
    To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.

  • My imac won't startup past the spinning gear and my apple keyboard is wireless but it won't connect, how do I fix the problem so I can get into safe mode?

    My imac won't startup past the spinning gear and my apple keyboard is wireless but it won't connect, how do I fix the problem so I can get into safe mode?
    Can anybody help me on this issue? I have already tried to replace the batteries but since the computer won't get past the spinning wheel of death then the keyboard won't connect.

    Please follow Apple's advice in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570. If you need to get your hands on a wired USB keyboard, even a PC one will work fine.
    Do not follow the previous poster's advice, that option is a "last chance" option. OS X is stable and in most cases a reinstall is never needed. Follow the directions in Apple's letter.

  • How do I put all the episodes from a TV show into one iTunes folder?

    Can someone tell me how to put all the episodes from a TV show into one folder?  I'm not sure how I did this, but while converting my dvd's to digital on my computer, one TV show (Firefly) created one folder with the Firefly name, and within that folder are all the episodes.  I've tried to recreate this with MASH, but it just puts each episode into the TV library.  This gets very messy with alot of different TV shows.  Help!  Thanks!!

    In principle TV Shows are grouped on the Show field and within a show sub-grouped on Season No. In practice recent builds of iTunes and/or Apple TV firmware seem to be taking account of Album, Artist & Album Artist in certain views. For consistency I would suggest the following approach:
    Show = Album = <Show Name>
    e.g. "30 Rock"
    Artist = Album Artist = <Show Name> Cast (or something like that)
    e.g. "30 Rock Cast"
    Season No. = <Season No.> or <Blank> (Separate seasons or all listed together)
    e.g. 1-3
    Episode ID = s##e## (This field, sorted alphabetically, controls order)
    e.g. s01e01 - s03e58 (use s##e### when >99 episodes)
    Episode No. = Track No. = <Absolute Episode No.>
    (Can also be per season, but abs. is better) e.g. 1 - 58
    Disc No. = <Season No.> (Can be set even if merging seasons)
    e.g. 1-3
    Taking this approach you can always merge or split into individual seasons simply by clearing or setting the Season No. field.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 notebook, Windows 7: How do I disable an audio jack?

    My Pavilion dv7 notebook includes two audio jacks for headphones on its right side (my left when facing it.) Long story short, a hefty piece of an iPod headphone has dislodged and been stuck inside one of these two jacks; there's no way I'd be able to remove it without taking apart the notebook. I can still receive audio via headphones when I plug headphones into the other jack, but I can no longer receive audio from the internal speakers. 
    I'd like to diasble both headphone jacks manually when I'd like to hear the speakers --  but I can't figure out how. When I access my 'Speakers and Headphones Properties' (IDT High Definition Audio Codec, through Sounds --> Playback Devices) and attempt to disable the device, all sound is disabled. There appears to be no way to selectively disable either just the speakers or just the headphones. 
    Any ideas? 

    ...I'm still curious as to whether I can receive any assistance regarding this issue.

  • How to replace video chip. hp pavilion g4 notebook

    hp pavilion g4 notebook. apparently video chip burnt out. computer does seem to run hot. dead black screen but makes all
    the other customery noises. video chip burnt? If so, what to do and how to do it?   Product key: gf6hx-2ymk7-hm9kv-r488-wqvr7

    Hi,
    From your message, it can be anything, not the video chip, can be the HDD. g4 is a series of many models/products and on many models the video chips are soldered to the motherboards that means you have to replace the whole board. Again, we need to know your machine. Please use the following instructions for find out the model/product of your machine:

  • Pavilion dv6 won't go into Sleep Mode

    My HP Pavilion dv6 always used to go into sleep mode everytime I closed the lid as it's supposed too. However recently when I close the lid it just loops the login screen as if you've locked your laptop. It makes the sound it used to make when I'd open the lid to wake it up. As far as I am aware there have been no software changes recently that could have caused this. Thanks.

    Hi there ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that your computer is no longer going to sleep mode when you close the lid. I am happy to help with this. Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?Give this a try: Click Start, choose Control Panel, and then choose System and Security.Choose Power Options and then select Choose What Closing the Lid Does from the left pane.  Also these may be of interest to you:HP PCs - Troubleshooting sleep and hibernate issues (Windows 7)HP Notebook PCs - Managing Power Options (Windows 7 and Vista) Here also is a page from Microsoft, that includes a video of what to do.Change what happens when you close your laptop - windows.microsoft.com Let me know if this works for you, or not.
