Monitor EDID has died and I need assistance

Okay. Recently the EDID function of my monitor has stopped, but because Windows keeps a local version of my EDID, I have the .bin file with the info needed, and I need to point X to it, but I can't find anything on Google that sheds any light on the subject.
Halp!

Still a no go. This monitor should be hitting 1680x1050 but I can't get past 1024x768.

Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
Java is vulnerable… Again?!

PB has died and I need to return it ...but how?

My one year warranty is almost up and my PB has recently died. There is no power whatsoever. I have tried (in vain) to contact blackberry support and playbook support to find out how I return my PB to either have it fixed or replaced. I have emailed [email protected] just a few minutes ago too and am waiting for them to respond. Hopefully they won't tell me to buzz off as the other two "help" desks did.
Has anyone had to return their PB to RIM? If so, how did you do that and can you direct me to where the details are on doing that?
Help is greatly appreciated.

Likely, the battery is extremely drained and needs charging.
LEAVE it connected to the wall outlet charger (not the USB > PC charger).
Leave it connected for 24 hours... every 3-5 hours, press and hold the power button only for about 20 seconds. Eventually it will boot on up, but first must reach a certain charge level.
You will see the blinking red and perhaps yellowish LED light, and perhaps a symbol on screen of "no battery". That means the battery is drained, but it must reach a certain charge before powering on.
Email "[email protected]" is a dead end, it only directly you back here and other options such as calling your mobile provider support, which does not apply to the Playbook.

Hi, my old laptop has died, and I need to set up my ipod on my new one, can I do this without losing all the music on it, as some of them are from old cd's I no longer have??

Hi, my laptop died recently, and I have purchased a new one, I want to connect my ipod to it to synch to Itunes but I don't want to lose everything on it, as some are cd's I no longer have, is there a way of synching without losing everything x

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Zen Micro has died and I need to fix it myse

Hi,
I was using my Zen Micro one particular morning for a couple of hours (full battery) where everything was working perfectly. Later that afternoon I attempted to turn it on but nothing happened, not a single thing. Nothing lit up, I couldn't hear the HDD sound either. I thought at first it could be the battery, so when I got home I tried running it from the charger with and without the battery, both times nothing happened.
Under normal circumstances my first course of action would be to simply to get a replacement however I don't believe that will be possible as I voided the warranty recently by fixing the infamous jack problem. I fixed it myself because getting a replacement seems futile as all Zen Micro's continue to have the same design flaw.
Does anyone have any idea why my Zen has completely died on me?
Any chance I can I get a replacement?
Can any of you tell me how I could possibly fix it myself (I take full responsibility if anything breaks)?Message Edited by mark_s on -0-2005 2:05 AM

5G Zen Micro, green
Hey, I had my zen micro for a long time since aug 9 and yesterday it broke down on me. Somehow I can't play anything. When I turn it on, it freezes and doesn't go to the menu. I tried using the recovery mode and clean it up but it froze again.
I don't know how i'm going to send it back to the factury to repair it. My micro was previously repaired like two weeks ago. The bad news is that sending back the my micro requires the reciet, but I have given it to them before and I was sure that they would give it back, but no. So how can I send it back without a reciet.

My iq500's hard drive has fried and i need a good company to retrieve data

after 3 years my hard drive seagate barracuda has died and i may have lost all of the docs on it. I need to find a company who may be able to retrieve the docs as my local technician has been unable to. Seagate want thousands of pounds to do this!

There are data recovery companies in most major cities, the rule is that if money is no object, they will be happy to talk to you.
A typical dead hard drive recovery in the US is about $1000.
This is why backups are so important, if you're not backing up your data in AT LEAST one additional location then paying for them to recover the data is what you will have to do, after all if the data is that important, then it's worth that kind of money.

My computer has died and I've had to by a new one. I can no longer access my Creative Cloud serial numbers?

Hello
My computer has died and I've had to by a new one. I have a creative cloud account registered under my email <Removed by Moderator> for both Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 which I pay for via Direct Debit.
I no longer have the Creative Cloud app but downloaded both programs to my new iMac. Photoshop works fine but Lightroom is still on trial purchase and asks for serial number. My account page on your site has no record of my CC account and shows no serial number for my purchased products. (It only lists a previous purchase of Lightroom-4)
How can get the serial numbers to my purchased products when they don't appear on my account settings on your website. Do I need to close my account a open a new one?

Hello Ratandeep
I pay £8.57 for my Creative Cloud purchases of both Photoshop CC and
Lightroom-5 via my Barclays Bank Account to Adobe in Ireland. The last
payment was 13 Aprii 2015. Two weeks ago.
Now I have a new computer. I can sign into my Creative Cloud but it says I
have a 'Creative Cloud free account' as I'm using trial versions. I do not
have a redemption code as I must of lost it when my old computer died. I
can get online so that is not an issue.
When I sign in to my account the Creative Cloud products do not appear
under my purchases so I cannot view serial numbers or change the credit
card I pay with. It seems that your website and my account section do not
know I am making regular monthly payments for CC.
If you check I am actually making the payments as I describe can you please
let me have my serial numbers.
MANY THANKS
Mike

I suggest you call your power company and ask them to monitor your circuit for spikes. Your other appliances are at risk also. I've been using the same Apple USB adapters for 7 years.

Hmm seems like this model has DVI out. You could just plug a standard DVI monitor into that. Or use the DVI connector (VGA supported with included adapter; S-video and composite video supported with optional adapters) adapter that came w/ your machine.

HT1386 My hard drive died and I need to resync my iPad. Will just following the initial instructions resync my iPad and restore all my information or do I need to try to recover the iPad file from the dead hard drive?

My hard drive died and I need to resync my Ipad. Will following the initial instructions for syncing work or do I need to restore my original files from the dead hard drive.

If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

Hi All,

When i execute this new Data Inject Test, it shows me error with referance to a data field ('Full name of first or sole applicant") from earlier Test's Excel data sheet where as I have alreadty removed DataSet referance from the "Add Data Set".
Error message:
An error has occured and Sprintet needs to close. " type does not have property named 'Full name of first or sole applicant", so cannot dort data collection.
Please see the following error and help me with possible solution.
Thanks,
asandy

Hi, Once you launch Sprinter, make sure the Sprinter Agent is running.
Now go to the Notification area and uncheck the option which says "Start Sprinter Agent when Computer Starts"
Click on Reset.
Restart the computer and start working on HP Sprinter.
Please let me know if this worked.
Thanks & Regards

I used to have an icon on my menu bar at the top of my screen to help me detect displays (monitors) It has disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. Does anyone know?

Your's may look more like this...
...if you're running Mountain Lion. I'm in clamshell mode right now, so I don't have any mirroring options. AFAIK, there's no more "Show displays in menu bar" in Mountain Lion.

Rave,
I have the same problem. It says trial is expired, so I select the "sign in now" button. After sign in, it comes up with a place to enter a serial number. The only two other options are "back" and "next".
