I am trying to take out my fan in my Compaq Presario CQ50 but I can't access it....?

I am following this guide (http://www.insidemylaptop.com/remove-mot… and I skipped removing the memory, WIFI, and DVD. I don't want to do all that. Right now I am at the part where you take over the top cover but I can't get it off. Do I have to go through removing the memory, etc; ???

I have to either replace it or clean it. I can't just take out the screws in the back (it doesn't look like they come out. I was trying to unscrew one for an hour.)

If you were having your appendix removed would you want the surgeon to skip a few steps? Follow the Service Manual would be my best advice, sir. I have not personally taken apart CQ50 but there are likely screws inside the memory compartment or under the optical drive that can only be reached by removing the memory, DVD drive, wifi card, etc. If you do not remove the wifi card and antennae leads the antenna will be in your way holding the top and bottom halves together.

Instead of printing it, try saving it as a pdf from the print menu, and then printing the pdf out.

I am trying to update to iTunes 10 to us my new iPad, but I can not remove a corrupted "apple software update" program... I can get everything else off, but due to "previous version" of software update it will not continue.

I am trying to update to iTunes 10 to us my new iPad, but I can not remove a corrupted? "apple software update" program... I can get everything else off, but due to "previous version" of software update it will not continue.
I stopped in to see one of the genius at the local store who referred me to "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable" (I am trying to install it on a Windows XP System)
The last version on iTunes on my PC was iTunes 7.
Thanks for your help,

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

On the bottom of the MBP is the serial number. Enter it here and post back the results:

This will identify the exact MBP that you have.

All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

And the same for "somtimes can not working"?

Can't open Icloud. "The entry point not found". Can't reinstall until I open Icloud and log out but I can't access it.

I am trying to re-install Icloud, however I can't redownload until I uninstall Icloud, but I can't uninstall until I log out in the Icloud Control Panel. The problem is that I can't open Icloud to log out because it says Entry point not found. I'm having an issue with all aspects of this!

I see you still have your smc0. I'm working on my first attempt at OSB and Oracle support said we have to remove rmt0, rmt1, smc0 before we can install OSB. They saw it in the device list and said those devices must already be taken.
Is you setup working for OSB and regular mksysb & sysback too with the Atape.driver?

In Blurb trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe, but I can't find any Adobe files that way.

I am in Blurb, trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe ELements 10. To upload I need to navigate in my computer to whatever Adobe folder has the album, but I can't find any Adobe files that way. So I wanted to save the album to
an external drive where I could be sure to find them for the upload
But when I tried to copy the photo album, the dialog box said that the photos will be deleted from the main program. I didn't like the sound of that, so I chose "Backup" which seems to have copied everything from Adobe to my eternal drive, not just the photo album that I want. To make matters worse, but exported folder named for my photo album is not the group of photos that I assembled in Adobe.
How do I upload directly from Adobe the program on my hard drive so I can be sure it is the correct assemblage of photos?

The album photos are just the originals; there are no special copies in the album--it's just a list. Select the photos in the album, then go to File>Export as New Files and send the new copies where you want them.

My 3gs is magnifying my screen so that I can't access the "edges" of the screen - most functions won't work. I tried to reset "all settings" but I can't access the full keypad to enter my passcode. Re-boot does not solve this.

I have an Iphone 3gs - a little over one year old. It just started magnifying the screen so that many of the functions are not accessable. Scrolling is either very difficult or impossible. I've rebooted it many times (in fact I usually need to do that multiple time just to be able to manpulate the keypad to enter my passcode).
I also tried to reset all settings. One that screen I can't access enough of the keypad to enter my passcode. Any comments/help would be appreciated.

This is asked and answered often. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature.

The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
See if that makes a difference...

Easy to swap out the HDD on a Compaq Presario cq61-424sa?

I'm thinking about purchasing a Compaq Presario cq61-424sa.
One thing that's important to me is being able to swap out HDDs when they fail or when I want to try a different OS.
How easy is it to do this on the cq61-424sa?
Also I thought this might be a good test of how decent the after-purchase care is for Compaq machines.
Thanks for any assistance and advice.
This question was solved.
