Is there a way to reload BIOS to laptop?

I have a HP Pavilion dv9700, model number dv9910us, running Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit. This morning I received an e-mail from a company I usually do business with. I clicked to look for a product. The screen showed tiny pin-stripe lines and the computer froze. I held the power button down until the computer turned off. When I went to reboot the computer, the bios would start and run for about 3 seconds. It appeared to poll the Hard drive and the CD/DVD drive then turned off, waited about two seconds and rebooted. It would do this endlessly even if the lid was closed. While the LED lights were on the power button could be held down for five seconds and the computer will shut off. I had it tested. The hard drive is fine, as is 4GB RAM, DVD-ROM, wireless card etc. The technician concluded the bios were corrupted. He tried to use a flash drive to load new bios but since bios are corrupted, boot loader with new bios cannot be executed.
Is there a way to reload the bios? Is a new mother board required? Are there any techniques to reload the bios from a shadow ROM on the mother board? What to do?

I accidently deleted some contacts that I need. I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts in icloud. Is there a way to reload these deleted contacts using my IPAD and icloud?

I accidently deleted some contacts that I still need. Because of Icloud they are now deleted on all my devices such as my Iphone and PC (outlook). I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts on Icloud on my IPAD. Is there a way to reload these contacts from my IPAD back to my Iphone and PC using Icloud? Thank you.

Hi mth3333,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can sync the contacts on your iPad with your computer. See this article for the steps:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.

I've just rented a movie on iTunes, and I tried to start it before the download finished, and now even though it has finished when I try to play it nothing happens. Is there a way to reload it without paying again??

I've just rented a movie on iTunes, and I tried to start it before the download finished, and now even though it has finished when I try to play it nothing happens. Is there a way to reload it without paying again??

I'm not convinced that starting it before it was downloaded has anything to do with it, you should be able to do that. I'd try restarting the computer and if that doesn't help, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History.

Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express? I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection

The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS. This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
You can connect to an external HDD via a USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
Hope that helps!!

Is there a way to 'reload' a Resource Bundle?

Dear All,
Use Case:
I confgured a bundle in my faces-config.xml
<resource-bundle>
<base-name>com.test.MyBundle</base-name>
<var>myBundle</var>
</resource-bundle>..and my Bundle class loads data from a database table. So instead of using properties file, I saved the labels in a table
using this code.
public class MyBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
    public Object[][] getContents() {
          Object[][] resource;
        ResourceLabels lView = ADFBCUtil.getAppModule().getResourceLabelViews();
               More codes
        return resource;
}Now here goes my problem... supposed somebody changed the label in the DB table and wanted that to reflect to the new label.
Is there a way to re-initialize my bundle?
What happens is that, I need to restart the application so that it would read the table again. As I notice, the ADF app reads this
bundle only once during startup
Any Hints. Thanks.

why cant you do this.. operation in the button click.. so that the binding or the underlying objects gets updated..
ADFBCUtil.getAppModule().getResourceLabelViews();
Hi Vinod,
That isn't what I am trying to do. Let me try to explain my use case again.
1. I configured a Resources bundle in faces-config.xml
2. When my application starts, it reads the configured bundle.
3. Since I configured my bundle to load contents from database, it will query my table once during startup. The list of labels/messages are now in my bundle.
4. User change something in my label(s) table and he/she want's it to be displayed automatically in the UI
5. So he/she should be able to reload/reinitialize my bundle. This is where I am having trouble
I am thinking of having an ADMIN screen where there is a button to click that will reload/reinitialize my bundle.
But my problem is how do I tell my ADF app to reload the bundle again?
A quick alternative is to restart my application since this will read the resource bundle again during startup. But this is not what I wanted.

IWeb domain is gone.. is there a way to reload the domain without the file?

My hard drive crashed and died and with it went the original domains for iWeb in the Application Support folder in the Library.
The iWeb websites are still up and running on line. Is there a way to create the original domain icon in iWeb without the original domain icon in the Application Support folder in the Library?
Or do you have to completely rebuild the website in iWeb. If I have to rebuild the entire website how do I get rid of the working website on Safari?
JKai

Thank you for your answer. It was as I feared when told the same thing by the Apple One to One supporters in Hawaii. It's a good thing these past websites were still in the early stages and not fully engaged.
Would you happen to know how to delete the working website online?
This help stop people from googling the wrong website.

I have to do a complete system restart on a laptop that is corrupt. I have Adobe Creative Suite that I purchased while in school that only has 1 download available. Is there a way I can reboot my laptop and reinstall the programs I bought?

Is there a way to do this even though my installation disks say there are no more available downloads? I am reinstalling it one the SAME EXACT computer as originally installed.

Contact Adobe Support thru chat and have them reset youre activation count. IF there are special circumstances that will prohibit further use of the software they should be able to explain why.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Is there any way I can reset my laptop to the original factory settings?

Is there any way you can reset your MacBook Air to the original settings you first recieved it in? I've noticed I have way to much junk to go through and try to delete it all and when I try to delete something it does the poof thing it's supposed to, but later I notice it has not been deleted. I've tried restarting my computer, and completely turning it off for 24 hours then seeing it its gone, but it never deletes.

Use the MacBook Air's thumbdrive, or for those models which shipped with Lion, its recovery partition, to erase the drive and install a new OS.

Is there any way to track a stolen laptop using the mac address, or by triangulating the wifi, or even by checking to see if the macbooks serial number has been registered online anywhere?

A little info on my question,
I had it stoeln on June 22nd 2013. I had recently bought it so had not installed any software on it nor did I have registered with icloud. I had contacted police, registered it stolen with Apple (but then just discovered this week that apple do not have a database for stolen products, which makes no sense at all).
I have contacted all the major pawn shops and computer stores in town etc etc. I have recently discovered that each laptop has a unique MAC address whcih begs the question, is that traceable somehow? I have been made aware that the router strips the mac address before it connects it to the internet but does the isp log the laptops MAC address? If i contacted all the major isp in my country would they have the ability to search for the mac address of my latop and then link that with an ip address?
Any help would be great please!

Yeah but I registered it stolen with Apple first thing, then called local police etc. Apple told me on the phone that the serial has been logged as stolen, which I assumed would limit the computers use online.
Every machine has a unique serial number what I was getting at is there must be some way to track the serial number and for example if the theif logged onto facebook using a stolen machine, if there were a register of stolen equipment then red flags would pop up, you know what I mean?
Well, I hadn't heard of that before. If it's true, then what you say should also be true but the Mac would have to publish its hardware serial number over the Internet and I haven't heard of that either. The only Apple tech that is supposed to constantly track you is iCloud.
You said you assumed the database would limit use online but if that's only an assumption, you need to ask Apple what exactly the stolen database does. It is possible that the serial number might only get flagged if it comes into an Apple Store for service, if it ever does. You need to clarify this with Apple.

Is there a way to automatically shut down laptop when power button pressed?

Of all the things I am having to struggle through a learning curve on MacOS (converted from Windows), this might seem like a rather benign concern, but I'm going to ask anyway. . .
I would like for my laptop to automatically go through a shutdown process when the power button is pressed - that is, bypass the dialog box that appears when hitting the power button that gives you the option to restart/shutdown, etc.
I've looked in all of my system preferences without anything that controls the behavior of this button so I imagine there might be a terminal command or an app that might accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

I'm trying to set up my MacOS to have the power button automatically go through the shutdown process as IF I had actually clicked on a confirmation box to shut down the computer.
I don't know of any way of doing that... perhaps there's a 'haxie' out there that would generate a shutdown command when pressing the power button, but I don't know of one.
Sorry,
Clinton

Is there a way to cross reference HP laptop parts?

Is there a way to use windows 7 laptop as a second monitor with mac pro,fcpx

I have a Lenovo ideapad laptop it has a port the one seen in this picture is it possible to be used as a monitor ?? and how.?

Your mac (where fcpx is) has to have some kind of secondary video out port. And the laptop would need to have a matching video in port. Without them, NO.
If you do have them, it's probably possible, but likely to be too much of a hassle to set up.
You might be able to over your network, (I do it between using my Apple devices) but with a PC you'd have to find appropriate software to do this, and again, probably more trouble than it's worth.
