HP mini 1010NR not usable outside US!

I recently bought a mini notebook model 1010NR. I read the couple of sentences in the manual about international use which were totally ambiguous but seemed to suggest that it was usable elsewhere. Having now brought it to France, I just inquired online about plugging it in here and was informed via Chat (i.e. HP robot) that it requires a voltage converter in areas with 220v current. These cost about 50 euros/$70 here, plus they are extra weight and inconvenience to lug around.
Is there really no other way to use mini notebooks in countries with 220volt current? Can't I just buy a 220v power cord to connect the power supply to the AC/DC box?Why is HP not more upfront about this, given that it's completely normal to switch the voltage when you take other computers to 220volt areas? I could have plugged it in and fried the whole thing.

The AC converter incuded with your North American 1010NR CAN be used in other countries, with the exception of Germany for some reason. You just have to have the correct cord and plug for whatever country's electrical system your are using ... the converter does what it is supposed to do and will step down the power and the Hertz cycle [North America is 110 v 60 Hz, most of the rest of the world uses different voltage and plug configurations, and 50 Hz cycle power] for use in the computer. Unfortunately HP charges an ridiculous price [$65 USD] for example for stronger power cord and large plug with fuse that can be used in the UK/Ireland and SIngapore. If you go onto the HP Parts website you'll see all the different power cords ... but you can't order them online you have to call in the US 1-800-227-8164 with the parts number and your computer information]. I'll use my old Dell laptop overseas - they only charged $15 w/shipping for a UK power cord.

My ipad mini is not usable because it constantly asks for iCloud password. It also will not connect to network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My son's ipad mini has become not usable because it asks for constantly asks for iCloud password. It says that it is not the correct password and the screen reappears. I know the password is correct because I can login to the website via another PC.
Part of the issue is that it appears not be connected to the network. It appears to be trying to then gets interuptted by the iCloud password request.
I tried to restore from iTunes when connected to PC, however, it says it cannot do this because Find My Phone has been activated on the ipad. To deactiviate I need to turn it off on the ipad which required my iCloud password (seems I am in a catch 22).
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks.

Hopefully this will me get you back up.

Mini 1010NR Linux XP Reinstallation of XP stalls at first window

First the situation: I have a netbook HP 1010NR with a solid state drive 8GB. Originally this netbook came with XP because I have the license and key sticker on the back.   Presently, it has Lubuntu (Linux) installed. I want to revert back to XP. Ordered the recovery discs using the serial number of the netbook.
The operating system CD boots fine and starts the process of installing all the drivers necessary to start Windows to continue with the installation. I'm sure we all know this by heart.   The problem is reached when all the drivers have been installed and the first installation screen tries to start up. It just sits there. No screen. Just the initial blue screen with the message along the bottom in the white bar informing that Windows was starting up.
I've tried USB DVD/CD because I have one. I made a USB bootable flash drive and it stalls at exactly the same spot. I have an old XP Prof CD and it stalls at the same spot. All work fine on a different computer.
I've called HP support with the phone number that came with the recovery discs. I have to tell you now that I'm profoundly deaf. After a significant amount of time (you can imagine), the conclusion was that I have a bad CD and a replacement will be sent to me at no cost.   As of this moment I have not yet seen it. It is early.
I have who possibilities: The BIOS may be out of date and the SSD partitioning may be causing the stall. I can't upgrade the BIOS for XP installations because it requires XP running to download and install. The Linux version allows you to burn a bootable CD and use that to upgrade the BIOS but I don't want Linux. I want XP.   Assuming that it is a SSD issue, I have no drivers I can use to overcome this block. As you may recall when installing XP, you are asked if special drivers are required for the hard drive. If so, hit F6.
Information about the system:   SSD is a ATA SanDisk pSSD 8gb. Processor Atom N270 1.6 Ghz, RAM 2 GB. [Serial number removed for privacy]
Any suggestions?

Hi:
Now you have the Mini 1010NR, not the MIni- 210-1010NR, correct?
The drivers would be different.
It sounds like you need the SATA AHCI drivers.
I have attached the ones you need for the 1010NR below.
Please read this guide below on how to slipstream the drivers (unless you have a floppy disk drive to load the driver at the F6 prompt). You cannot use a USB flash drive for the F6 prompt. That prompt will only work with a FDD.
Read the section under Intel drivers and then read the guide on how to slipstream all of the drivers.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x000000...
Now, if by chance you do have a USB FDD then you can extract the drivers below onto a FDD, hit the F6 key and when the installation stops and asks you to select the driver you need from the list showing on the FDD, then you use the Up/Down arrow keys to scroll to and find the Intel(R) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI Controller.
That is the specific SATA AHCI driver needed for your MIni 1010NR.

Mini 1010nr USB not working

I have a HP Mini 1010nr running ubuntu 10.10 and none of my USB ports are working. I have checked if it is an OS problem and its not. the USBs are not even showing up in the bios. I know there are bios updates available but I cant flash my bios because my usb ports aren't working. Any help is appreciated.

A BIOS update would not be likely to fix bad usb ports. The trouble is that there is no support for Linux from HP. I have also put the Ubuntu netbook edition on a couple netbooks and had no problems. All netbooks have essentially the same hardware with an intel Atom processor and an intel 945 chipset, which is mainstream and supported by any 2.6 Linux kernel. If the BIOS does not give you the option to boot from an attached usb stick or a usb floppy drive I hate to say it but I think you have a motherboard issue. The only way to be sure is to roll back to Windows but that will be tough with no usb ports.

Bunzez-
I agree. Mine is 64gb, and the most warmth I notice seems to be where I was holding it.
The result of excess heat would be that its battery would run down faster than it should. With a full charge, it should run at least eight hours, maybe ten. Someone mentioned that their iPad charge went down ten percent per hour.
The iPad normally stays on all the time, and is put to sleep by pressing the Sleep button. In the sleep mode, it draws extremely low current, so the battery does not run down for many days. With yours in the sleep mode, does it still get hot?
Regardless, I think the display problem is reason enough to take it to the Apple Store Genius. If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. In the US, <United States>. Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

Can not connect outside of Lan to with rtsp PVC2300

I have the following cameras set up at my office
1 - PVC2300
2 - WVC54GC
3 - AXIS 225FD
I have a BEFSR81 Router
I have a computer on Windows XP running the surv software to record. Everything with that is good.
I also have 2 desktops.
I have been playing around with the rtsp feed with the pvc2300, but have run into a few problems.
1(a). I can not connect outside of the LAN with RTSP with either the VLC player or quicktime. It connects and asks for a password and then just hangs.
The PVC 2300 local address is 192.168.1.102 with ports 554, 5000-5010, and 6970-6999 forwarded on the router. What am I missing?
1(b) I can successfully connect with my blackberry bold, although when I try to change the default port (554) to something else (I would like to RTSP my the AXIS camera as well, so I will need a different port) it connects on my bold, but then says server is unresponsive. What am I missing here?
2. The voice with the PVC 2300 using http outside of the LAN (internet) lags quite baddly and is choppy. This happens without fail when I have all 4 cameras running, which I understand is upload bandwidth problem. But it also happens when I connect to just the PVC2300. I do have a connection to all 4 cameras inside the LAN to the XP running the surv software, but that is it. Is the my router acting buggy? I have unplugged the router for 5 sec, and it fixed it for a while, but it always comes back. I have donwloaded the latest firmware for the router and PVC 2300 and that didnt seem ot fix it either. Suggestions?
3. This is more of a question. I know the mobile streaming of the PVC 2300 does not include voice. Is there an app or way that I can just get it to my Blackberry. Even if I didnt get the video, voice is sometimes more important to me.
I hope Ive been clear enough in my description, Im very self taught (google is amazing), but I am in no way a techy.
Thank you in advace for your help.
Colin

Glad to hear you are successfully using the SWVMS16. That program is really cool and useful. I just cant tell you how that model of Linksys Router can work for you here (that is not a model we support on this community as its not small business)
Regarding RTSP access, are you also including the mobile.sdp in the URL?
RTSP:///mobile.sdp I noticed in the camera GUI with the newer firmware, you can specify an access code under mobile settings after checking the enable mobile streaming box. That word may be what you have to include, so check that too...
Try this locally first and then remotely is the easiest way to see if you got it right, then it just becomes a routing or firewall issue to figure out.
But your forwarded ports look right and should be opened.
Under advanced settings, you can define an alternate HTTP, HTTPS or RTSP port

Mac mini can not find the NAS

In my network I have a Mac mini, AirPort Extreme base station and a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v2. Everything is connected by cable. The problem is that the Mac mini can not find the NAS. Mac mini is looking for wirelessly connected devices, type TimeCapsule. How do I get my Mac mini to find the NAS and set the NAS as a source of data storage?

I have a ReadyNAS and use it as a Time Machine destination with no problems, even over WiFi. The ReadyNAS and Mac are both on the same LAN (even though the Mac is on WiFi), please check to see if your WiFi is on a different LAN to the Ethernet side of things, I have my Airport set to bridging mode so both sides of the AirPort count as the same LAN.
Next you need to check you have actually configured Time Machine in the ReadyNAS, as shipped it is initially turned off. You need to go to the ReadyNAS web management interface (FrontView) and then click on Backup on the left, and then select Time Machine. You also need to make sure Bonjour is enabled for the ReadyNAS, this is accessed by clicking on Services on the left and then selecting Discovery Services, make sure all the Bonjour options are ticked on.

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.

What happens when you sync?
Any error messages?

The green button, top left corner of a pop-up screen on MACbook, it's supposed to enlarge the pop-up to full MAC screen size, correct? Mine does not. Sometimes it makes the pop-up screen SMALLER. Appreciate someone solving this for me.

Are you talking about the green '+' button in the top left corner? That technically doesn't enlarge it. It switches the window from the default window size to the custom size you made. You can enlarge the window by moving your mouse to the bottom right corner of the window, and dragging until you get the size you want.
