What are these numbers?

I get unusual numbers on my daughter's cell phone. What are these? It doesn't appear they are costing me anything -- but I want to make sure. The numbers are listed as: "0000002653." Any ideas what this means?

In most cases they are text alerts that she has signed up for, example: Radio Shack, weather.com, etc.

What are these numbered bullseye type circle things ?

what do they do?
how can i get rid of them?

It's the Color Sampler Tool.
Select it and click on the "Clear All" button at the top.
These targets sample and give information about the color under the target.
You would see the results in the Info panel.

Are these Seagate 2TB drives compatible in my Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66 GHz?

I still have an Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.66 that was introduced August 7, 2006. I currently have 4 of the following Seagate internal hard drives installed: ST3750640AS SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.10 - HARD DRIVE - 750 GB - INTERNAL - 3.5" - SATA-300 - 7200 RPM - BUFFER: 16 MB
I want to know if these hard drives will work in this computer: Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive.This computer is powered by two 2.66 GHz dual core Intel Xeon 5150 processors.
The old drives were purchased from NewEgg and I want to purchase the new ones from there also. Are these 2TB drives compatible in my computer?
Thanks,
Lou Hosta

SATA is SATA.
Apple introduced GPT (GUID) years ago to support 2TB and larger (default partition scheme).
SATA III is also backward compatible with SATA II (otherwise, who would Seagate have to sell to?)
The only issues have been with green drives, using green version for RAID or for performance purposes.

I am unable to dial India toll free numbers from my iphone, these numbers are like 1800-***-1515. There is nothing as dial assist in Ios7.1.1 which i can disable and dial in india toll free numbers.Please respond if anyone has any solution

I am unable to dial India toll free numbers from my iphone, these numbers are like 1800-***-1515. There is nothing as dial assist in Ios7.1.1 which i can disable and dial in india toll free numbers.Please respond if anyone has any solution

Check this post, the dial assist is part of the iOS 7.1, according to page 49 of the iphone_user_guide
Make calls to your contacts and favorites while traveling abroad. (GSM) Go to Settings > Phone and turn on Dial Assist. Dial Assist automatically adds the prefix or country code for calls to the U.S.
This user had a similar problem and solved it by switching off the dial assist feature in Settings/Phone/Dial Assist
Re: How to save toll free no starts with 1800?

Just change the payment method.

Since upgrading to IOS6, some of my contacts (using nokia) no longer receives sms from me, although it shows on my 4s phone that it was sent. I receive sms from these contacts though. These contacts are international numbers. What do I do to fix this? Thx

Since upgrading to IOS6 on my 4s, some of my sms messages (international) are no longer delivered to other phone users (nokia, etc.), even though it shows sent in the message screen. I do however receive sms messages from these numbers. These numbers are correct and I can call or receive calls on the same numbers. I would appreciate if someone can assist me so that my messages can be received again on international numbers. I think all my local numbers are working fine regarding messages. Thanks.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

What are these model numbers??

Hi All,
i have a system generated report(from Push-Mail Server)...which has a column named models, these numbers are
704.11
705.18
701.341
508.11
801.293
507.77
701.4
703.144
may i know what each number means??...how they differ to each other??...I tried google about few of them but couldn't get what these numbers are...Please help me

That is the DeviceUserAgent and represents the iOS software version.
801.293 = iOS 4.0 (8A293)
705.18 = iOS 3.1.3 (7E18)
702.367 = iOS 3.2 (7B367)
The other 7xx.xx values are older iOS 3 versions like...
3.0 (7A341)
3.0.1 (7A400)
3.1 (7C144, 7C145, 7C146)
3.1.2 (7D11)

Are these signal numbers good?

I just setup my new dual band AEBS and a couple of AXs for Airtunes. I initially had dropouts, so I changed the 5 GHz channel down a couple of values and the dropouts are gone. I had AirTunes going all night on New Years Eve and no dropouts occurred.
I'm not sure how to interpret the numbers shown in the logging area of AirPort Utility and was wondering if someone can tell be if these numbers are good.
Each of my AX show the same numbers and they are:
Signal: -24
Noise: -95
Rate: 270
Also, what does Rate mean? None of this is documented anywhere that I could find.
Thanks for your help!

Excellent performance.
The theoretical limit of a 5 GHz wireless network is 300 Mbps, so 270 Mbps is really quick.

Are these heat values okey?

I know that there a lot of discussion topic about this one but i will go crazy if i wont ask
This is the values of heats when i only run safari and itunes. I run my fans on medium to keep cool. My retina is 2.3 one.
1-)Is it okey to run funs in medium in a long time (It's hard to write for me when the keyboard isnt cool)
2-)Are these heat values okey?
Thanks your your response.

1. Fans are too high. High speeds may cause hardware problems soon, so it's better to set up a fan speed less than 2000 rpm in order to keep the MacBook Pro properly.
2. Your temperatures are correct. Moreover, I can say they are cool for a computer, and your computer can work properly up to 80ºC without having problems, so it's better to reduce your fan speed

What are these 0501 and 0301 numbers

I DAILY GET 0501 NUMBER DISPLAYED ON MY PHONE WHEN IT RINGS. I PICK IT UP AND ANSWER, BUT THERE IS NO DIRECT REPLY, SO I IMMEDIATELY RING OFF. I NOW IGNORE THIS CALL. AM I DOING RIGHT? I ALSO USED TO GET AN 0301 NUMBER RINGING. COULD YOU GIVE ANY GUIDANCE TO THESE NUMBERS PLEASE AND WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST.

Yes, TPS is not used by companies outside the UK and quite a few UK companies ignore it. (See this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10989292/Telephone-Preference-Service-fails-to-block-cold-calls.html). We get many annoying calls every day, some of them have caller ID from numbers which might be valid, many of them have made-up rubbish numbers like '000010' - obviously not real caller ID. Many others withhold their numbers. I have found one of the best things was to prevent our phones from giving a ringtone for any international or withheld number (some handsets allow you to do this). Sounds drastic but any legitimate caller can leave a message or contact us another way, if they don't, it probably isn't a call I care about. Banks, doctors, hostiptals, schools etc can leave messages to call them back or write if it's important. We still often get the blank automated messages though and have to wade through and delete them every week.

HP Envy 17 heat issues

Hi everyone! At the beginning of this year I bought a HP Envy 17 both for school and gaming, so far I've been pretty happy with it. However, the day before yesterday I bought Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, a game that my laptop should be able to handle pretty well. But when playing the game, the CPU reaches temperatures of 90-93C and the GPU seems to run steady at 91C. That's extremely hot, since I've been able to run Battlefield 3 and Crysis 3 running in the low 80C without issue.
Of course when I experienced this my first action was to clean up dust and debris from the vents (There was very little), but that didn't do anything major. Then I started lowering that settings of the game quite a bit, I went from high settings to low/medium settings as well as switching from DX11 to DX9, this didn't help either though. Then my last attempt was to close everything but the programs required to run the game, didn't help either.
So now I turn to you, the HP forum, for help. I figured if anyone knows how to fix it, it's you guys.

This question was solved.

Master,
So it sounds like you know what you are doing.
I have to ask the obvious:
Are you already running a cooler under that notebook?   This works when the system is doing its best and all else is equal.
Commentary:
Should you have to run a cooler under a notebook for which you paid a bunch of money and you do not feel like it should be necessary? Personal option and opinion. I do not debate this particular issue with anyone. I run a fancy cooler under a hot running dv7t Quad. Works quite well, in fact.
If you are open to the idea, you can buy a cooler with lights, switches for on / off, fan speed control... you can opt to plug in your cooler to a powered hub so you do not have to run it directly off the notebook -- you do need to remember to turn the cooler on / off when it is connected this way -- you can stick a Hercules X-stand under the notebook between the cooler and the notebook for even more air circulation, and this way you don't even have to run the cooler as often since the notebook runs better with more air under it.
Just Google / search for any price range. The better coolers will run you between $40 and $70 or so US. You can get a cheap one that works for $20 US.   The Hercules X-stand is sold at Amazon.com and maybe some other places. ??
====================================================================================
Your system is not running slow.. nonetheless, you might scan the following:
Fan Runs Constantly, the PC Notebook Operates Slower than Expected and Generates Heat
====================================================================================
If you have not already done so, you can try this setting. Granted it is really for "performance" and NOT for heat generation. Anything that is not spinning cycles is saving you heat, so in that sense, it is saving you both resource and heat:
In Visual Settings Tab:
To turn OFF every Aero display enhancement:
Select "Adjust for best Performance" > OK
To turn OFF some display enhancements:
Select "Custom"
And CHECK - UNCHECK those features you desire to use > OK
====================================================================================
Good Luck!

New 2011 dv7t Quad plays Runescape worse than 2009 dv7t quad. HELP

I customized and purchased a new HP Pavlilion dv7t Quad 2 weeks ago and have had it for one day now. I have run into a number of problems and, while at first I wanted to avoid having to send it in, I am afraid my device has too many unacceptable errors to be repaired by any local tech shop. I am making this post in the hopes that you can offer any support possible, but also in the hopes that you can provide me with an email I can contact which will allow me to type everything presented below, and recieve a quick, comprehensive response. Thank you so much for your time.
I purchased this HP Pavilion dv7t Quad because my 2009 HP Pavilion dv7t quad developed an error whereby its screen would go black and remain black after the windows launch animation disappeared. I purchased this laptop specifically because it is advertised as an entertainment laptop, and I expected it to be able to run the MMORPG RuneScape (Runescape.com) at max specs. However, I discovered that on this new laptop, if anti-aliasing is toggled, all in-game text is distorted and distracting black lines are generated in the game’s sidebar. Disabling anti-aliasing is not acceptable as it renders the graphics untenable. My 2009 dv7t was able to run Runescape at max specs without any problems. It is unacceptable that an updated, more expensive model has fewer capabilities than its 2009 predecessor. There are many other examples of how this 2011 dv7t is less able than the 2009 dv7t. Both laptops have 17.3 inch displays. However, when the 2009 laptop opens a webpage on Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome, and views the web page at 100% zoom, the page is perfectly sized; on the other hand, when webpages are displayed at 100% zoom on the new 2011 dv7t, they are small and difficult to read. If I increase the zoom to 120%, the size becomes apparently corrected, but select images become distorted.
The “T” Key is sticking. When I press "t" it usually remains locked down, and I have to press it again for it to pop back up, and then press it another time to type the letter t.
There are times when my volume buttons do not seem to work. I will be listening to a Youtube video and press the “Turn volume up” key, which is also f11 superscripted, and the “Beats Audio” volume adjust animation will appear, and the animated CD will rotate, suggesting that the volume is being increased, but the volume does not actually increase.
The Track pad’s multi touch gestures, such as vertical scroll, are virtually nonexistent. The vertical scroll on my 2009 dv7t was without error.
The plastic base beneath the keys is not 100% sealed to the chassis, particularly around the “delete” key.
I purchased “Two 9 Cell Lithium-Ion Batteries” for the sole reason of having been told “By the way, to answer your prior query, the 9 cell battery is not an oversized one, John.” In response to the question: “Is a 9 cell lithium ion battery considered oversized on the dv7t?” However, upon arrival, I have discovered that the 9 cell battery does protrude from the base of my laptop. I want to exchange one of my 9 cells for a 6 cell, and receive the money back for the difference of price between the 2 batteries.
The Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner protrudes slightly more than it should from the chassis.
The startup time of the laptop itself does not seem to be in par with startup times of other new laptops.
The last ¾” of the lid of my laptop seems to be made of plastic. It was my understanding in all promotional videos that I watched that the entire lid and palm-rest were to be made of metal.

This is a user to user forum and not a contact for HP, my self I live in Canada and help out where I am able.
If this were my machine I would return it and exchange it for a new one or get a refund on the sticking "T" key alone.
You say you only had it for a few days, here in Canada most reputable places have a 30 day money back policy. I would exercise that policy if you can.
It sounds like you have a lemon, either assembled Friday before the party or on a Monday after the hangover.
While some of the issues may be cured by adjustment (mouse pad problems) or a driver reinstall or update (volume problem), none of these things should be happening on a bran new computer, just get rid of it. It's supposed to run perfectly out of the box or at least you should not be experiencing any of the problems that you have mentioned.

After several repairs, still having heating issue with MacBook Pro (mid '09)

EDIT: this post got removed the first time for not being constructive enough. I've now edited the post.
This is going to be a lengthy post, so bear with me.
2 months ago, I suddenly noticed my MacBook Pro (medio 2009, 15", 4GB RAM, GeForce 9400M) heating up a lot harder than usual. I'm familiar with the heating issues these laptops have, but this wasn't normal. Looking at iStat Pro, I saw my fans almost taking off like an airplane at 5700 rpm, while watching only a livestream on my browser. I know Shockwave Flash takes up quite a chunk of your CPU, but I had never encountered this problem beforehand.
The biggest problem wasn't just the heat or the fans, but the fact that my computer also started reacting rather slowly. Sometimes I'd even get beachballed, or the whole browser stopped responding for half a minute...
So I tried to see if gaming was still an option. Of course not. I had been playing League of Legends for several months without any issues. Whilst playing, I'd kick up my fans manually to about 4000 rpm, and they'd stay there throughout the whole game. Now, when I start up the game, it plays smoothly for the first 2 minutes. After the temperatures rise to a critical level, the fans start spinning up to 5700 rpm, and the whole game plays like a powerpoint presentation.
On a sidenote: it sort of 'lags' every 1-2 seconds, and sometimes, after a long period, the game acts somewhat normal again (20 mins). This game uses wine to run, which isn't the most optimal way. So I tried playing Team Fortress 2, too. Probably even worse results! (but again noticeable 1-2 second interval lags)
Before anyone starts screaming: "Don't use your Mac for gaming!" etc., I wish to point out that these two games had been running perfectly for the past few months/years. Something's definitely wrong.
After looking for some solutions myself, I decided to go to an authorized Apple Service in my city. A few days later, they told me my logic board was broken, and I had to pay almost 700 euros ($ 900-1000) to replace it. So I did. I got it back, but it wasn't fixed. Brought it back in. Got it back a week later: "Your new logic board we got from Apple was already broken, but we hadn't noticed. We put a new one in it. It's fixed." Again, same problem.
We're almost 2 months later and 700 euros poorer, still no result. I've brought it in about 6-7 times now, here's a list of what they've tried so far:
- In total 3 new logic boards
- New MagSafe (because they discovered it was giving too much power too my laptop)
- Fresh re-install
- Replaced RAM
- Checked fans etc. (they do this by default)
- A few tests which proved that it was repaired (but I have my doubts with these tests...)
They told me now that it's fixed, and they basically won't look into it anymore. I must contact Apple myself, if I wasn't satisfied. The tests they performed showed no signs of heating issues. (One of the tests was playing 4 1080p movies at the same time. When I watch a 1080p movie on Youtube, my laptop is taking off like a plane) They ran a stress test all night long, showing no temperatures above 98°C. I got it up to 105°C in a few minutes according to iStat Pro.
They advised me to install Mountain Lion, which would make the issues with "high-performance sites" go away. I haven't seen much improvement, though.
This whole experience has been quite frustrating, especially now that I'm gonna need my laptop for University again. Isn't there anything I can do? I've paid almost 700 euros and missed my laptop for 2 months, without any results.
I've got more information regarding the issues if needed, ask away. I'm getting desperate.
I've been browsing around the support communites, and found that a lot of people are having issues since they upgraded to OS X Lion. Could this be the case? Should I try downgrading to Snow Leopard?
I've also found a few topics on refreshing the cooling pasta on the heatsink. Would they have noticed any problems with this after replacing the Logic Board several times? Or should I check it myself? I'm not too keen on opening up my laptop myself...
Nick.

Thought of buying Parallels? Fusion?
Might want to see if this gets moved to the MacBook Pro forum.
I'd think Windows 8.1 is smart enough (what I use 90% time since the Dev Preview came out couple yrs ago it seems like) to find the driver.

HP DV7T quad heat issues...Are these numbers high?
