HT1689 windows won't rotate

sometimes the window won't rotate. Is there a way to correct this?

Hi,
The 24 character error code for the short Disk Self Test ( DST ) would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know - include the full Model No. and Product No. of your g6 series notebook - see Here for a further explanation.
Regards,
DP-K

The 3 balls won't rotate and copy videos?

Hello,
For some reason my firefox went back to defaults and now I can't copy videos. The balls won't rotate. I have download helper 5.1 and fire fox 37?

You can check for problems with preferences.
You can try to edit the prefs.js file with Firefox closed and remove all lines that refer to extensions.dwhelper prefs.

You can also try to click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette window or delete the xulstore.json file.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.

Help! Mail freeze: window won't open, nor will it close so I can restart

I've just had a strange problem with Mail. The window won't open - or has issues with opening (it did, but only briefly). It's generally having problems - its menus aren't dropping down - and I would like to quit and restart the computer (a Mac Mini). I've tried an apple q and nothing is happening. So the computer won't restart unless I force a shut down by manually holding down the button.
Any suggestions most welcome…

On MacBook Pro, trashing anything requires password. How to fix so it doesn't. Also, finder window won't reopen in same place. How to fix?

On my MacBook Pro, trashing files and folders requires that I input my password. How do I fix it so that I don't have to do that every time? Also, finder windows won't reopen in same place and configuration that I left them in when I closed them. How do I fix this?

My guess is that you are storing your files on the root level of your HD. If so, move the files in to your user folder and you shouldn't get password prompts.
Once you close a finder window you cannot continue that session. You can set the default location that a finder window opens however. Click on the finder, from the menubar select FInder/Preferences then click on the "General" tab. Where it says "New Finder windows open", you can select any folder on your drive as the default. My sggestion would be to set it to your User folder where you should be storing your files.

Adobe camera raw window won't resize and can't reach buttons

When I open an image from bridge into adobe camera raw 6.1 (Photoshop CS5) on my laptop, the camera raw window fills all of the screen (top to bottom) and the buttons at the bottom of the window are below the task bar. Thus I can't open the image in photoshop except by hitting the enter key. I can't reach the open, etc buttons. The window won't resize and there are no icon/buttons in the right upper corner to go to/from full screen. When I hit the icon in the top right hand menu bar in ACR (to go to full screen size) the window then fills the whole width of the screen in addition to the height, but no matter what I do I can't get the height of the window to shrink, so that I can access the icons at the bottom of the screen. What am I missing? Thanks

Don't worry about turning aero off just yet.
There are two key first questions:
What is your screen resolution (width in pixels x height in pixels)? Right-click on desktop, choose Screen Resolution.
What setting have you chosen for the display size (Smaller, Medium, Larger) in the Display dialog? Right-click on desktop, choose Personalize, then Display.

Windows won't detect audio after installing windows 7.

I have a hp pavilion dv9610us notebook pc with windows vista home premium and i recently install windows 7. Now windows won't detect the audio device. I try different software but it said that it can't find the media or device.

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

My iPhone won't rotate how do I fix this

I Updated my iPhone 5 and now the pictures won't rotate, how do I fix this?

Swipe up from off the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the top right button to turn portrait lock on/off.

After I updated to iOS 5.1, my iPad2 won't rotate anymore.

I updated to iOS 5.1. the other day, and my iPad2 won't rotate anymore even if the screen is not locked. I went to service center, and after testing the iPad's accelerometer playing some game, the guy at the service center thought that it is not a hardware problem, but more on the 5.1 update. Weird thing is, I enabled the "assistive touch" feature's "rotate screen" function, and the screen rotates, although with prompting. That is, it will rotate only after I choose or unchoose to either "rotate screen" to portrait or left or right. Anyone else who has experienced this? Any suggestions how to fix this?

First of all, check again at "Settings > General" and view the Side Switch configuration.
If "Mute" is selected, then double-click the Home button, swip right the icon bar at the bottom and confirm the "Lock Rotation" icon is not locked.
If "Lock Rotation" is selected, then turn the Side Switch a couple of times in order to force the rotation again.
I hope this will help you.
Kind regards

I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format"

I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format". Can someone please help me sort this problem, it's so frustrating!!!!!!

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Java has been updated as well as firefox but java refuses to run - drop down menus won't work (ebay) and pogo game windows won't load.....HELP

Ever since I updated firefox to 3.5.16 java ahs stopped working. Drop down menu's in ebay don't, windows from links (such as tracking in ebay) don't work, pogo game windows won't load or will load the widow frame but not the game itself. I work online and run and online business and this wastes a lot of my time. Idon't want to use IE but might have to - I have looked in the forums and online and can't find a solution. Your help would be greatly appreciate it.

Some windows won't display?

For some reason, some of my windows in dreamweaver will not display correctly, or much at all. For instance, when you first open dreamweaver and select "new dreamweaver site" all I get is a window that displays a few text fields and then whatever is behind that window (almost like the entire window is transparent, except when I move the window, it doesn't change to match what is behind it) My system exceeds the dreamweaver minimum requirements.
I operate on windows xp
I am running the trial version.

I have, Thank you. I kinda sorta fixed the problem, I discovered that when I move the window off of the screen, it appears correctly, annoying but I dont know what else to do.
Thanks alot for replying

My iPad mini screen won't rotate

Why my ipad min screen won't rotate.

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, swipe up from the bottom to get to the control center. Look for the lock icon in the row of icons at the top. It will be the last one on the right. Check that to see if the screen is locked.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

IPad screen won't rotate

I have an iPad 2, out of warranty, that won't rotate (one of 150 iPads that are nearing the end of their usage cycle and will be sold at the end of the school year). It is stuck in landscape mode and won't rotate to portrait mode. In an attempt to fix it, I've tried everything short of opening it up: I've done a hard reset, I've done a system restore, and I even ran the battery clear down until nothing would come on the screen when the power button was pushed. Nothing has made any difference. (And no, the screen rotation is not locked, and no, the side switch is set to Mute, not Lock Rotation.)
It makes me think the internal gyroscope is not functioning. Now here's where it gets interesting. I have downloaded the free Gyroscope app, on this and several other iPads for comparison. I can report two significant findings on the iPad that won't rotate properly: (1) All 3 axes of rotation on the gyroscope respond properly; and (2) the numbers on the defective iPad do not agree with the numbers on the other iPads. I.e., sitting side-by-side on a flat, level desk top, a "good" iPad reports Yaw: -173 degrees, Pitch: 0 degrees, and Roll: -1 degrees; while the defective iPad reports Yaw: 3 degrees, Pitch: 16 degrees, and Roll: -32 degrees. That leads me to believe that the gyroscope (or accelerometer) needs to be calibrated. However, I'm not aware of any facility for doing that. And furthermore, it's not clear that this has any bearing on the fact that it won't rotate.
So... any ideas or suggestions? I am not averse to opening the device up, if there is a replaceable part. I haven't been able to find any info about such a task. My only other options are, as far as I know: Send it to Apple for replacement at $249, or sell it at a discount since it is not fully functional. Thanks in advance for any useful ideas. - JR

Then you are not the usual user.
If you can disassemble the iPad 2 then you may be able to replace the small custom circuit board containing the gyroscope and accelerometer chips (if you can source the part).
