My assist button does not access vaio care any more help

need help assist button does not activate vaio care any more please help me

 
Hi westlyeaton, 
Welcome to Sony Community! 
I believe you were referring to Vaio Care Rescue Mode, right? To access the recovery partition. Is the Assist button stuck from being pressed? 
Try to Power Cycle the laptop - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals-> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds
Try to press the Assist button while the unit is on. There are certain models where Vaio Care (Desktop) will open when pressing Assist while the computer is on. Then test while the unit is off. 
Let us know if this will work. 
Thanks,
Vincent

    Could that read " . . . could not access . . ."?  If so, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If not, or if that doesn't help, see #A1 there. Use the TM Buddy widget it details to copy and post the messages here.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen - the sleep/wake button does not respond. already tried resetting, restoring.Help!

    ipod does not respond when i press the sleep/wake button.

    tried restoring and after restoring, ipod screen hangs, does not respond at all. same for sleep/wake button...
    lost! can someone help pls!

    Hello Ryan,
    Since it sounds like you have already tried all the usual and available troubleshooting techniques, I would make a trip to your local Apple store/Genius Bar and have them take a look at it.  Your iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty that cover any defects (but not accidental damage!).

    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode
    Note: If your device is working on its own and is not in recovery mode, this set of steps is not for you; do not manually place the device into recovery mode.
    Your device may not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state, try the following:
    Open the Device Manager:
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the resulting dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start. In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return on the keyboard. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return.
    Click the plus icon (Windows XP and Vista) or the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
    Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries may or may not have exclamation marks on them similar to the following:
    If you see only one "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" entry that has no errors on it:
    If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them:

  • Updating CV (delete entry which does not match the criteria any more)

    Hi,
    A MV synchronises entries in a CV (MVtoCV) depending of a criteria (flag). OwnerShip=Meta view.
    An MVentry is created.
    If this MVentry doesn't match the criteria, not synchronized in the CV=OK
    If this MVentry matchs the criteria, synchronized in the CV=OK
    If this entry is deleted from the MV, deleted in the CV=OK
    BUT
    An MVentry is created.
    If this MVentry matchs the criteria, synchronized in the CV=OK
    if this MVentry doesn't match the criteria any more, the CVentry is still not synchronized=OK BUT remains on CV (my problem).
    HOW to remove this entry automatically.
    I tested with AttFlow and delete operation but without success.
    Thanks for your help

    Our approaches are actually the same. but BKBK goes further. The onMissingTemplate method will never fire in this case, as the page you're rewriting to actually exists, so what you're doing here is manually raising a 404. There are two ways of doing this; firstly you just do something like this:
    <cfif FoundItems.RECORDCOUNT EQ 0 >
       <cflocation url="/404.cfm" addtoken="false" statuscode="404" />
    </cfif>
    This will let people know that they've entered an invalid URL, and the statuscode will tell search engines that there's no page there.
    What BKBK is suggesting is perhaps being more intelligent. Rather than just throwing them at a standard 404 page, try and handle it a little better. In your page where you would normally show the results, try and find any relevant results. See if there are any keywords in the URL you can search the database for, and display the links to those products on the page. Nothing groundbreaking here, just something a little more "web 2.0" than just saying "no, there's nothing here".
    The only difference would be that you want to do this:
    <cfheader statuscode="404" />
    ...before then going on to display your page. This is purely for the search engines.
    Hope that explains it a little.

  • Optimizing in full mode does not removes false hits any more from COUNT_HIT

    Hello,
    I am using the COUNT_HITS fonction to get the number of hits for a full text query with the EXACT parameter set to false or true.
    If I am not wrong the ctx_ddl.optimize_index('MY_INDEX','FULL') is suppose to remove false hits from COUNT_HITS where the EXACT parameter is set to false but it does not work any more. It still takes into accound records that have been deleted.
    Is there other actions to do to remove false hits from COUNT_HITS?
    Thank you for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Fred

    any way to make the pinned site shortcut (not all sites) open in full screen mode when double clicked?
    I think it does which is a surprise.  E.g. if you last closed an IE window in Fullscreen mode it can open up again in Fullscreen mode.  This may be in response to user complaints about Maximized mode which would still be a problem because that
    is the OS doing.  However, even there it has always been possible to open a window from a shortcut in Maximized mode.  The problem is that any windows spawned from that one will have the original window's Normal mode attributes in terms of size and
    shape.

  • Ipad does not show usage times any more

    Hi, my ipad no longer shows the usage times of itself. It merely shows a '-' mark where usage and standby times are normally shown.
    This may have occurred after the ios6 update but I cannot be sure.
    Any ideas on what the problem is or how it can be fixed?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi guys,
    I've since fixed the problem.
    Martha I recommend that you download an app for battery charging so that it will tell you the percentage that the iPad is charged. Then charge the iPad fully and as it reaches 100% it should display 0 mins in both boxes.
    I did a restore prior to this but it did not seen to have any effect.
    I'm not even sure why the iPad went like this but mine has been fine since.
    Hope this helps

  • HT201335 I've got the iPhone 4s and the newest apple tv,all updated.it will not let me AirPlay,as the button does not even come up any help?

    It will not let me AirPlay,I do not even have the option for it any help?

    Dear Timvans
    I fully agreed with vazandrew answer
    I have Iphone 4s and recently purchased Apple TV, first time of use I tried in My Hotel room using the Hotel Network (no web page to log on just password) without success for Airplay as I belive that they did some of restriction to they network, Apple TV worked fine in the hotel showed everything except Airplay connection with My iPhone 4S. I tried later on the same day using my friend home network it work fine, directly the Airplay icon appear  in my iphone.
    So check your network if there any restriction.
    Good luck.

  • When I delete an E-mail the next one does not automatically pop up any more

    When deleted,next E-mail always opened.Now it just goes back to E-mail page.Went into yahoo mail site and it still has "open next E-mail" checked as the option of choice.Firefox 25 just downloaded automatically a few days ago and that is when I started having the problem.

    Try some basic steps if you have issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
