Laptop wont boot with new memory installed please help

Hi I am trying to upgrade my laptop memory to two gigs When putting in the I gig modules in each slot the laptop will not boot. When I put in the original 256 memory module in slot one and the 1 gig in slot two I get it to boot and it only recognizes the 1 gig slot. Even with belarc it shows only slot one with 1042.

That sort of thing is typical of incompatible modules. Turns out that unless you order your add-on memory from Toshiba or buy memory made by Kingston, you'll likely as not have that difficulty.

You need to authorize your new computer in iTunes with the same account that is synced to your nano (and old iTunes)
In the menu bar click Store >> Authorize This Computer…
This will allow your purchased music to be re-downloaded from iTunes and played on your new computer.
If you did not purchase the music through iTunes, you may need a third-party program to get the music off the nano. However, It is much easier (by far) to move your old library from your old computer to the new one if you still have access to the old files. iTunes will not transfer music from your nano to the computer. It is a one-way sync.
If you still have access to your old files, search google for how to transfer an itunes library, and follow someones instructions. It's not too complicated. You may want to specify mac to pc, pc to mac, mac to mac, or pc to pc, as the instructions will change.

Wont boot with internal drive installed

I have a 17" PBG4 that will not boot up when an internal drive is installed in it. I have tried 2 known good drives.
Trying to boot normally just produces a white screen. Holding down the "Option" key when booting gets me into the boot loader, but it proceeds to crash and never displays any boot volumes.
If I remove the internal drive, and attach a firewire drive with a bootable partition, i can boot the computer just fine from the boot loader.
I suspect it must be either the cable that connects the drive to the logic board, or the logic board itself...
If anyone has any experience with this, it would be most appreciated!

my drive died so badly in my 15" that it did this, wouldn't even boot when it was installed, not even from the optical drive...
speaking of that, tried unhooking that & then plug in the external drive? the PATA bus for the HDD & slot drive was shared on these too, I think, similar to the ibooks. maybe not, but worth a try.
otherwise, start with the cable. if that doesn't work then it's the logic.
also, try the usual reset PMU & PRAM voodoo.

My n8 wont connect with my pc..please help ooh

Have you tried manually installing the drivers through device manager, picking from a list of drivers and finding the microsoft generic bluetooth adapter driver?
Please give Kudos. What other kind of recognition could I get?
Have I solved your problem? Mark solution as accepted.
I try to hate Macintosh. I really do. But I can't bring myself to hate any electronic device.

Media Manager not working with new Verizon Curve, Please Help...

Close to returning my new Curve. The Roxio Media Manager will not recognize my Curve at all. I have tried everything, read every post and still nothing. Using version 4.3 of Desktop Manager with Vista Home Premium. Someone please help...
Thanks for any help

Same issue here. Contacted Verizon tech support, they had me reinstall media manager -- which did nothing. They had me try disabling mass media support and the media card support. Neither which worked. After 90minutes on the phone, the tech was contacting their "advanced support department" to get more info. I got fed up and hung up. Maybe they will call me back -- who knows.
The tech said that they might have to contact RIM to get it fixed. I am thinking verizon inadvertantly blocked media transferring -- like they do on all of their other phones. However, VCAST is not available on Blackberry phones for Verizon, so it is a stupid idea if they did it.

6735s.Failed Charger, Now Battery Playing Up? Laptop Wont Boot with Charger Plugged in!

Hi,
I have a HP Compaq 6735s and have owned it for around 2 years.The OS is windows 7 Ultimate, I have the installation CD.
The other week my charger for the laptop broke, and I ordered a new one from Amazon. The charger was advertised as an orginal/genuine HP charger (although I doubt it is).
As soon as I got the charger, I put my laptop on charge, The orange light around the charging socket came on to indicate it was charging. I leave it half hour to an hour and try to turn on the laptop. All i get is the fan on and nothing else, I pulled out the charger for a split second and the laptop boots fine. However, I left the laptop on charge overnight, and it gained only 9% charge!
When the laptop is on, and plugged in, the fan is on. As soon as I unplug the charger, the fan turns off. When the charger is unplugged, the ring around the charging socket will flash orange, and the battery will decrease very fast! Once the laptop has been powered on, and the charger unplugged, if it gets plugged in again, it doesnt charge, it just says "plugged in, not charging".
This is very frustating, and it makes me want to not use the laptop, which is not an option, as I need it.
Hopefully someone can help me!
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Here is a link to your notebook's support portal. Use the troubleshooting in the solve a problem section.
Did you ever calibrate your battery?
Chances are that your battery is no longer serviceable. Two to three years is a reasonable amount of service life for a Lion battery if it was never calibrated and/or has been left plugged in for extended periods of time. A battery that will not charge beyond 9% probably has issues.
Use the HP Support assistant to perform a battery status check. Also consider calibrating your battery. Calibration resets the 100% to the maximum actual battery capacity.
Best regards,

PC wont boot with X-Fi instal

When I was building my new PC, I installed my new X-Fi Fatalty card and attempted to boot, I got the old "lights on but nobodys home" business. So I took out the card, and tried again. PC booted fine, went on to install Windows, necessary updates, all drivers for everything I had. Great! So then I went to put my X-Fi back in, tried to boot and it went back to "lights on, nobody home". Eventually after restarting my PC more than enough times, it FINALLY started up, got into Windows and it wasnt detected. At all. Nothing.
I assume this is a hardware issue, but is anyone else having these problems?
My spec is below
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2Gb Crucial Ballistix RAM
WD 50Gb Raptor
Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 Motherboard
GeForce 7950GX2 Gfx

take immortalz' advice, I did! You'll waste hours of your life trying to get that card to work.
Right said...there seems to be a batch of "bad" X-Fi cards out there (allegedly, a firmware problem) which will just cause them to turn your b0x into a non-functional piece of buggy (or was that buggered?) hardware.
Solutions include forgetting the X-Fi completely, or trying another sample, hoping you get a "good" one this time.

Try to boot in Safe mode, see if you are able: Hold down shift and then power on. For wireless keyboards, hold down shift after the chime.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
     If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
     If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
     Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?

Pavillion zv5000 laptop wont boot from cd after mobo and hdd replace

So I inherited a dead zv5000 laptop with no hdd. I replaced the motherboard and CPU, and it powered up and booted from the cd drive with no hdd installed. I was able to run memtek and the original hp os recovery discs, with no hdd installed.
Then I put in an empty hdd. The bios sees the hdd ok, but I suddenly can't boot from the cd drive. The bios settings are correct, and the discs spin in the cd drive, but it wont boot with the recovery discs, memtek, or an original xp install disc.
When I remove the hdd, it still wont boot from the cd drive.
So I google and I read stuff about hp tattoos on hdds and motheboards and dmi, and no passwords for the average person to do the tattoo.
So what do I need to do ? I don't understand why it was good with the new motherboard, but as soon as I plugged in an hdd it wont do anyting. I cant update bios because I cant boot past the bios, and not sure how that would help anyway.

If you have an open firmware password, delete it. It will not boot off anything but HD with OF password. Or at least thats what it was for me.

Is there a way to run a 2005 PreSonus Firebox(with the firewire) to a mid-2011 iMac 0SX 10.7.2? It says its no longer supporting Power PC? Anything I can do without spending more money on new equipment or a new computer? Please help me.

Nevermind, I got it working.
I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.
