  • Blu Ray drive missing and incredibly slow boot times

    I have an Ideacentre B520 i5 with Blu Ray drive. I've been having an intermittent issue that has become permanent. The Blu Ray drive is no longer detected by the machine, and it takes 4-5 minutes to boot up.
    The history of the issue is:
    A while ago the drive disappeared sometimes and boot up times took a while
    I swapped the SATA connector inside the machine in case that was a problem - that fixed it for a while
    The problem started occurring again except less occassionally
    I left the system completely powered down for 5 days whilst on holiday, when I returned it was working exactly as it should - drive available and boots in about 45 seconds
    The drive disappeared whilst in use one day, and does not reappear any more, even when the machine is left unplugged from the power socket
    I have tried a clean boot (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135) but that does not fix it
    The drive will open so there is power to it, but is not visible within the computer. It is infuriating not to be able to use it, and that the system now takes a very long time to start up.
    What suggestions do you have to resolve this?

  • Why would Siri open and close randomly?

    My iPhone 5 displays the oddest and most erratic behavior and I cannot figure out why!  Hopefully someone here can head me in the right direction!
    A few times a week, Siri will pop up with her "What can I help you with" window.  I'll close it and it will reopen again.  Sometimes it even causes other apps to open.  Open and close.  Over and over.  It happens randomly or at least I cannot see the common denominator anyway.   I use a bumper with my phone but it does not cover or even touch the screen button.  
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help!
    Peter

    It is possible that you are pressing the home button while the phone is in your pocket. If this is not the case then plug your phone into your computer and use iTunes to restore your phone. Also restore as a new iPhone not from backup.

  • IPad mini acting strange. Apps open and close randomly. Any ideas?

    My iPad mini acts strange. Apps will randomly open and close and I have no control over it. I have reset it to factory and started all over but it is still doing it. Any ideas on what I should do?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Pioneer BD-203 Blu Ray drive Observations and questions

    I have a DP35D motherboard with a Q6600 processor and 2mb RAM. I run XP with SP2 and PE7.
    I use hi def video and usually write to a DVD burner, with no problems. I have 4 hard drives with a dedicated drive for PE7 video files, a 1TB drive.
    On DVD all is well.
    So I installed a Pioneer BD- 203 Blu Ray drive (all my drives apart from the DVD drive are SATA). Installation of the BD203 went well, the PC recognised it and I was not required to "do" anything. It was  a bare drive so NO additional software was installed. I did not need to go into the BIOS or "do" anything.
    I went into PE7 and the BD-203 was instantly recognised - so far so very good!
    I took an existing 1hr 27 minute Hi Def video which I had successfully written to DVD and wrote it to BluRay. As a matter of interest it took 1hr 40mins to encode the video (as an MPEG2 file), then PE7 reported that the disc (BluRay that is) was being burnt (Burn in Progress) but there was no movement of the progress bar within PE7 and the hard drive was busy for just over an hour. Then there was activity on the BD-203 drive but the progress bar remained static - after maybe less than an hour the drive spat out the disc (a Traxdata 4* record BD-R disc) and NO error messages were reported. So all looked relatively good, at least thats what I thought. I have NO means of playing the disc at the moment and the BluRay disc certainly has some data written to it but only about half a discs worth.
    I tried to read the BluRay disc on my PC and Windows XP said "Windows cannot read from the disc. The disc may be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with Windows". I was not overly concerned by this as I have no BluRay reader on my PC.
    I then encoded a separate 2 and a half minute video onto a Verbatim BD-RE disc. Obviously this was a much quicker process!! Once again the same set of processes albiet much more speedy.
    Questions.
    What encoding should I select MPEG2 1440 * 1080i PAL Dolby OR MPEG2 1920 * 1080i PAL Dolby? My camcorder produces 1440 by 1080i as I believe is common practice.
    Can I assume that the resultant discs are OK or should I suspect something?
    Is there a free/cheap BluRay player for a PC that wont interfere with the BluRay writing operation or cause any other problems? and which I can use on my PC in order to verify that the discs I have written to are OK?
    Andy

    Thanks, I will be tyesting my discs over the weekend.
    But I can advise you that my DB203 does successfully burn DVDs and I can play those DVDs. From that I deduce that the drive is functional in the DVD writing mode - so I am a little more hopeful.
    Andy
    PS Will advise all re progress - as BluRay writing seems to be a bit of an issue!!

  • Erratic app behaviour ( apps open and close randomly)

    I have a Xperia tablet Z SGP321with updated firmware to Android 4.2.2. I have been experiencing aps opening and closing automatically.
    It seems as if the tablet is sensing false touches. I am using my tablet under normal working conditions, not under stress as some other posts record. Please help

    Check this forum, there are similar threads. No solutions though.

  • Playbook opens and closes apps randomly, constantly

    I have a 32gig playbook that all of a sudden has gone haywire. The screen goes nuts like someone is inside playing around, apps open and close randomly to the point I can't do anything. I've tried reseting, 3 button reset, managed to do a security wipe but nothing helps. It does it if its plugged in charging or not, I've looked through a few posts and this seems to happen for time to time but very few people have posted any solution. I will try to reinstall the OS when I get home but with the thing going haywire I'm not sure I can get it to connect to do that. Is there any solution to this? What caused it?

    Here is the procedure. Read it over first, then do it.
    You need to follow these instructions to "debrick" your PlayBook:
    1. Do a backup of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software version 7 installed. It can be downloaded from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    2. After the backup is finished, unplug the PlayBook and on the PlayBook press and hold down the power button until the unit forces the device off.
    3. With the Desktop Software still open on your computer and the PlayBook powered off, connect the PlayBook to your computer once again.
    4. You should see an error screen from Desktop Software popup with the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
    Very quickly choose the Update option.
    5. All information will on your PlayBook will be erased and a reload of the Software will commence to install on the PlayBook.
    6. Once this is complete your PlayBook will go back through the initial (as if new) setup wizard (entering the BlackBerryID, etc., and then you can perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your personal data from the backup. Applications which you downloaded from AppWorld won't restore, but they can be easily reinstalled using AppWorld > MyWorld section of AppWorld.

  • IPod touch aps open and close on their own and iTunes player starts up

    I have done four complete wipes and re-installs and aps are continuing to open and close at random even if iPod touch isn't being used. Random tracks begin playing while screen is locked and aps open and close randomly throughout. I've completely wiped and reloaded numerous times to no avail. Apple insists its a software issue, but it occurs with most updated versions and even if I have loaded nothing but the preinstalled aps to the iPod. The song tracks playing at random are never the same, and there's no consistency as to what ap is open when this happens.

    Send it to Apple or a third-party place.

  • My ipad 4 dropped and now apps open and close on their own

    My ipad 4 dropped off my lap.  The glass is intact but now all the apps open and close randomly on their own.  I tried to reboot it and it didnt workd.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    THANKS for your prompt reply  Bluetooth is off in my laptop and IPhone.. and in fact the reset is the only thing that can make it back to normal. But for a lil while. I wonder if it is the touch, or the home botton... both things are very expensive to replace, so I wouldn't like to spend $$ and continue having the prob.....

  • CD/ Blu-ray Drive Will Not Open/ Function Correctly

    My CD/ Blu-ray drive will not open. I can force it open with a paper clip and put in a disk that way but it does not activate and read the disk. The drive also does not appear as a file selection under my hard disk drives section of my computer.
    With this I am assuming my optical drive is broken so I tried looking for a replacement. I searched for the name of the optical drive in the HP PartSurfer and it says it is called SPS-DRV DVD SATA BD Combo 12.7. Just to be sure, is that the correct part I am looking for? If so, and say I were to go ahead and order this part, how do I go about removing the optical drive in my labtop and replacing it with the new drive?
    This question was solved.

  • IPad mini randomly opens and closes apps, changes pages on book readers

    My iPad mini has gone crazy, it randomly opens and closes apps, plays games itself, changes pages whilst reading a book, starts flashing. Tried everything, rebooted the device, updated it always with the latest software update and have reset the iPad as a new IPad with no success. The problem still occurs which is really enjoying. I checked on the Internet and I'm not the only one with an iPad mini with this problem. The iPad is older than one year, what are my chances of resolving this and how?

    I have this problem with my PDFs too. I'm using a lot of PDFs from the German RPG "The Dark Eye" (Das schwarze Auge) from their the PDF shop "ulisses ebooks".
    However, i recognized that I don't get this random black boxes after a restart of the iPad Air for a long time. But when it starts it's become very frequently.
    To remove the black boxes for a single page i can close the book and reopen it or just mark text from the corrupted page. Zoom in removes the black boxes too, but if you zoom out there are visible again.
    I also recognzied that this must be a problem if the iPads PDF engine and not from iBooks. I got the same random black boxes in a PDF which I viewd in Safari.
    I think that changing the reader will only help if it has its own PDF Engine. Don't know if this possible in iOS.
    Perhaps it's some kind of memory leak of the iOS PDF Engine, after this bug apperas only after some time of ussage.

  • Pioneer blu ray drive in mac and with bootcamp??

    Hello everyone. I read a post on this forum about installing a blu ray drive in a mac and it working perfect. Now my question is, will it work if I have bootcamp and switch over to windows XP. Otherwords will the drive work on windows XP on the mac using bootcamp???? thanks

    Windows doesn't recognize the spare SATA ports on the motherboard. So if that is what you were going to use, no.
    There is an article up on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com about how to install a drive in the lower optical bay.

  • CD/DVD Drive Opens and then Immediately Closes!

    Hi,
    Everytime I press the EJECT button on my keyboard, the drive opens and then closes immediately afterwards, not giving me time to put in a disc. This seems to happen when my computer has been on for a couple of hours, and it corrects itself (stays open) when i log off and log back in.
    I went to the Apple Store, (yes I dragged the huge machine across a mall!), and the Genius told me that the problem might be the eject button on the keyboard. So, I swapped keyboards and the problem still existed.
    Does this problem have anything to do with me installing Leopard? I didn't notice this problem when I was running Tiger.
    Is this an Optical Drive problem??? And if yes, how would I go about fixing it?
    Thanks!

    I have it to put the computer to sleep when it's inactive fore 1hr, and put the display to sleep when the computer is inactive for 20 min... and I also put a check next to putting the hard disk asleep when possible.

  • Random mouse movements and folders open and close unaided

    The mouse cursor wanders around the screen, folders open and close by themselves, dashboard opens and closes, etc. Either a bit of malware or a hardware problem?

  • LG GGC-H20L Blu Ray drive

    I have just installed an LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray drive (internal) in my Mac Pro (early 2009) so I can watch Blu-Ray movies in Windows using BootCamp. To allow the drive to open and close I had to remove the plastic bezel from the front of the drive tray. I would just like to confirm that it is safe to do so - I don't want any laser light to be emitted from the drive while it is in operation...
    I haven't seen anything other that what I assume is the blue LED on the front of the drive so far.
    Anyone have any ideas about whether it is safe to remove the plastic bezel from the drive tray?

    It is safe. The amount of laser energy emitted is very small and not well focused to an area such as your eye. The laser is only operational during the reading of the disc. Therefore it is behind closed doors so to speak when in operation. Bob
