My laptop doesn't show anything but the mouse after the logon page at windows 8.1

my laptop doesn't show anything but the mouse after the logon page at windows 8.1..Acer E5 473G 57QQ

Hi there! When I read your post, I realized that a clean boot or a safe mode might help. I suggest you read the articles on them if you are not familiar. However, a legacy boot menu to enter a safe mode is unfortunately difficult in windows 8.1 as revealed in method 5 of the following article http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-8-windows-81 I am sorry that I was unable to provide a solution directly but hope that this reply will give a direction..............

When I synch my iPod w. new MacBook Pro, laptop doesn't show which podcasts I've already listened to on the iPod. (My old MacBook did do that.)

I used to download new podcasts to my old MacBook, plug in my iPod, click the Synch button, and not only did the new podcasts get copied from the laptop to the iPod, but iTunes on my laptop would show which podcasts I'd already listened to, so it was easy to delete the old stuff, synch again, and the old podcasts would be gone from both the laptop and the iPod.
When I try to do the same thing with my new MacBook Pro (which I set up using the Migration Assistant to copy apps, including iTunes, from my old laptop), that doesn't happen: When I download a new podcast, plug in my iPod, and hit Synch, the new podcast isn't copied, nor does iTunes show which podcasts I've listened to since the iPod was plugged in the last time.
What used to be quick and easy is now cumberson and, because it's hard to remember which podcasts I've listed to and which I havened, error-prone!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The installer DMG will be in the Applications folder
I haven't tested this, but it seems somewhat at odds with this recent MacWorld article, which gives a method for "capturing" the Lion installer downloaded via the Recovery HD, and then creating a bootable installer volume from it.
Create a bootable Lion install drive for newer Macs
The article is meant for Macs that came pre-installed with Lion and therefore can't use the App store. The article describes a procedure to retrieve the Lion download not from /Applications but from a folder named "Mac OS X Install Data" which gets created at the root of the drive where Lion is to be installed. It's tricky, because normally that installer self-launches immediately after the download, and then deletes itself afterwards.
They distinguish this procedure from an earlier, simpler one that can be used if Lion gets downloaded via the App store - they reference an earlier article for that situation, which does involve retrieving the installer from /Applications. That method has been publicized in many places.
The inference for me was that the Recovery HD does not download anything to /Applications - otherwise the earlier procedure would work, and this new article would be unnecessary. As I said, thoiugh, I haven't tested anything.

Now only the bottom most folder has the count..

I tried importing everything into a new catalog with np luck.. ONly the bottom most folers seems to have the count
how did I break it??

You have to enable include photos in subitems (I think that was the name) in one of the menus in Library.

What about the Essbase version?
The conflict comes in on the server. The Java API, since about v7.2, has been progressing towards using pure Java calls to the Essbase server. Earlier versions wrapped the C APIs on the server.
Until recently, there was a setting to force the Java API to revert to using the C-APIs. Generally, we adjusted this setting only when the Essbase version and the Java API version were not exactly the same (and sometimes even then if we saw anything that didn't behave as we thought it should.
The setting, olap.service.direct, is not in the 9.3.1 essbase.properties file. Further, the directory containing the C API files is no longer installed as part of the APS installation.
Is APS also 9.3.1? Do you see anything in your APS logs? Note that, by default, APS no longer logs information to standard out (where error messages are sometimes printed). I posted a blog entry just an hour ago that shows how to setup APS to log stdout. It is on my blog at http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.com/

My ipad wont turn on or show battery level when charging

I dont know what to do, my iPad wont show up in iTunes, the computer doesnt recognise it, the battery icon wont show up when it is plugged in and it doesnt turn on.

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Connecetd Laptop doesn't show up in "My Networks" tab

I have setup my Linksys WRT300N - no problems.
I have allowed my son to connect to the internet using my WEP encryption code and his computer shows up in the Linksys EasyLink Advisor "My Networks" (I don't share files with him) - no problems.
I have setup my PDA to connect to my computer to hotsync and connect to the internet using the WEB encryption key. It shows up in "My Networks" - no problems.
Now I'm trying to setup my laptop to connect with my computer for file sharing and to connect to the internet but it won't show up in "My Networks". I am able to use it to connect to the internet, but I can't share files between the two computers because they don't show up in each others "My Network Places" in Windows.
Any ideas??

MOVED: Laptop doesn't show Nvidia card

This topic has been moved to MSI Notebooks & Netbooks.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164888.0

Hi,
First, please give us more informations to troubleshoot this issue:
a. Which versiion of hard disk did you use?
b. Which IDE mode in BIOS did you use?
c. Did the hard disk can be detected by BIOS?
d. Can you use the list disk command to obtain summary information about each disk in the computer.
A Description of the Diskpart Command-Line Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300415/en-us
You may check whether the "plug'n play OS" option in you BIOS is on. If so, you might try to turn it off to force Windows to use the devices detected by BIOS. Also verify the health of the disk: broken disks often take longer to detect and might exceed the
detection timeout. Also check cables and wiring.
In addition, please download the latest Windows 7 compatible motherboard chipset drivers from the motherboard manufacturer’s website.
Hope it helps.

[SOLVED] Udev rule to hibernate my laptop at certain battery level

Hi!
I'm needing this kind of udev rule, to have my laptop automatically hibernate when battery level is about 3% (or 5, it doesn't matter).
I don't want to have a little script running in the background that every eg 5 seconds polls my battery level, because i find it a really rough system.
I guess i can use udev to reach what i want.
udevadm info --path=/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0

Any help?
Thank you very much!

It is indeed udev, displaying device info from its database in response to a query - that's what 'udevadm info' does. But you can't write a udev rule against that info - you need a uevent.
man udev wrote:The udev daemon, systemd-udevd.service(8), receives device uevents directly from the kernel whenever a device is added or removed from the system, or it changes its state. When udev receives a device event, it matches its configured set of rules against various device attributes to identify the device. Rules that match may provide additional device information to be stored in the udev database or to be used to create meaningful symlink names.
If you run cybertorture's 'udevadm monitor' command above, as your battery is running down, you will not see any uevents. If you connect or disconnect your AC adapter, you will see uevents - in fact, you're using those ones already, to trigger your powersave script. So although the general description I've quoted mentions kernel uevents generated when a device "changes its state", this does not cover all possible changes, and in this particular case, it does not cover changes in battery charge level.

Battery level in Glance vs. Home Screen

Only just this week was I "fortunate" enough to finally get GDR2 from AT&T for my 920. While I've noticed the FAQ that states that the glance screen and home screen might have differing battery levels, they are sometimes quite noticeably out of sync. I guess my point here is that if the info I'm getting on the Glance screen isn't all that accurate then why really show it there? And furthermore, why only show it while the phone is charging? It's like two stupid ideas piled on top of each other. If I have to go to the home screen it kind of defeats the purpose of having a glance screen anyway right? Any possibility Nokia can figure out how to poll the battery status on a more regular basis and/or poll it upon activating the glance screen? Also why it battery can't be shown all the time on the glance screen instead of only while charging is kind of a mystery.

The Glance screen does not show battery level, it only shows you when you are charging.

I bought an iphone 5C and my music from my dell laptop doesn't let me sync my music into my phone. When i first bought it I accidentally pressed don't show again on itunes. How do I download itunes 11.1 or later now? I have been trying for atleast a month, but I can't find any solutions. I had payed a lot of money on those songs and albums, and now I can't even sync it on to my phone. I know it was stupid of me to press that button, but I need help on trying to get it to sync. -Mohima

You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

So can anyone help me :/ idk whats wrong woth this ps I have the 5

Hello Neygotsole,
Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

10.5.8 won't show UPS battery level

I just installed an APC Smart UPS 1000 VA UPS to my Mac Pro server. The USB cable is plugged in and the UPS battery is fully charged according to the display on the UPS itself. The Energy Saver control panel is the APC preferred control method (they do not supply software for MAC OS X after 10.4) and all the controls appear as expected with the exception that the Battery Level indicator at the top of the Prefs panel shows 0% full.
I've unplugged and plugged it back in to no effect. I restarted the server. I turned off the power at the wall switch and the UPS ran the server with no dramas for about 10 minutes. Nothing I tried had any effect.
There is nothing in the APC support site other than instructions for using Energy Saver panel.
Our power here has been pretty flaky this year and I want the server to gracefully shut down after about 10 minutes of an outage. It won't work if the UPS won't talk to the copmputer.
Steve

Have you checked to see if another USB device works on the USB port the UPS is connected to?

My battery drained. Screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min. Should I wait or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.

My battery drained. Pluged in to wall but screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min. Should I wait longer or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc. Will a hard restart wipe all that out?

Agree with Richard:
-Your device needs both the CR and LF. To accomplish this:
option 1: Concatenate the "end of line" string constant (this is a combination of CR and LF, located in the string pallete) to all your outgoing commands. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is false.
option 2: Concatenate only a CR to your command's strings. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is TRUE AND that the termination character is set to 10 (meaning LF) which I think is the default.
Details can be seen in this link:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C862565BE005AB500
"Adding Termination Characters to VISA Serial Writes in LabVIEW"
Interesting would be to configure the serial port to accept not one but two termination characters. The above links refers to the document "Developer Zone Tutorial: Termination Characters in NI-VISA.", where this is supposed to be possible. The document however is 404'ed.
If someone find a working link please post it.
