Need help ASAP, have a tough question about CPU and BIOS...

Alrighty guys... I'm not super smart when it comes to BIOS and the nitty gritty computer stuff, but I know my way around. Here's the thing...
This is the desktop I have:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=...
It's sorta old, but it gets the job done quickly. I had an issue with it some time ago and I thought it was the power supply, so I replaced it. While I was waiting for the power supply to arrive, I took the CPU out, just to be nosey. I accidentally bent a couple of the prongs, so I had to get a new one.
First, I bought a Black Edition AMD quad core, but the 125W was too high for my 95W chip. I had to sell it. I sold that and I just bought a new one:
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20X4%209850%20-%20HD9850XAJ4BGH%20(HD9850XAGHBOX).html
I put it in the computer, boot it up and it goes to the HP boot screen and then goes to a black screen stating that the CPU is not compatible and that it's going to shut down. When I reset it and try to press F10 or any of the keys it states that it's going to go to that screen, but then just goes to the black CPU shutdown screen again. There is one thing that the computer will do though. When I press F2 when it's in the black shutdown screen, it will SOMETIMES load the two HDD's that I have. It's just really weird. One time I got it to go to a HP diagnosis page. It showed the CPU and had a big green check next to it. It checked the memory too, and it got a check. Then it just froze and I had to shut it down. I can't seem to get it to that screen again.
My real question is why won't it recognize that my CPU is compatible? Do I need to update my BIOS? Can I do that without a CPU and a running OS? I really don't feel like selling this processor. I know that I should have just gotten the exact same processor model that came out of it.
Any info will be nice! Thanks so much!!

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion a6720y Desktop Computer and it's M2N78-LA (Violet) motherboard. According to the specs, your computer supports the following CPUs;
Socket type: AM2/AM2+
TDP: 95 watts
AMD Athlon X2 (Bt)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 up to 6000+ (W)
AMD Phenom Triple-Core up to 8xxx (AM2+) (Toliman)
AMD Phenom Quad-Core 9xxx series (AM2+) up to 9850 (Agena)
Based on the CPU part number supplied, you purchased another 125 watt CPU. The AMD Phenom X4 9850 (HD9850XAGHBOX) isn't going to work because it is rated at 125 watts and therefore is not compatible with your motherboard. Please consider returning (as Dave suggests) or selling your current CPU and getting one of these 95 watt AMD Phenom X4 CPUs.
Please send KUDOs

Need help ASAP - SSAS Tabular error has me stumped and others' solutions do not apply in this case.

Hello everyone,
Here's hoping no one will consider this to be the wrong forum. The data source is an Access database, but the issue is an SSAS Tabular issue. Kind of desperate here... the customer needs this ASAP, and I've been trying to resolve this for a week
already! Any help would be much appreciated!
A customer of mine (another employee of the ComIT department) is receiving an error trying to open an Access database via SQL Data Tools.
The error is "OLE DB or ODBC error: The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '\\[our_domain]\[the_path_to_the_file]\[database_name].accdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission
to view and write its data.; 3051."
What perplexes me is that I do not receive this error, my coworkers on the DBA team do not receive this error, and our boss does not receive this error--even on the customer's machine. But the customer gets this error every single time.
The only difference is the credentials provided on the "Impersonation Information" window.
Here is our process:
We open SQL Data Tools, we create a new Analysis Services Tabular Project, we select the workspace server (our Analysis Services server... db5079\tabular) and test connection ("Test connection succeded") and click OK.
Then we click "Import From Data Source," select "Microsoft Access," enter the full network path to the database and test connection ("Test connection succeeded")
The next window says "Impersonation Information - Specify the credentials used by the Analysis Services server to connect to the data source when importing and processing data"
The credentials provided at this point is the only difference between me/my team/our boss and the customer. If we use our own credentials at this point--even on the customer's machine--we receive no error and everything is fine.
If we use the customer's credentials, we get the error above at the end of the next step (i.e., after we choose the data to import and then click Finish).
So that's it. On the same machine, the customer's credentials produce this error, and our credentials do not.
I have already added the customer as a server administrator to the Analysis Services server (db5079\tabular).
Copying the data source to another folder on the network or to his local machine produces the same results: his credentials produce the error, my credentials/my boss's credentials/etc. do not.
All of our machines are 64 bit, and the Analysis Services server is 2012 64-bit.
Please help!

UPDATE: As it turns out, all those who were able to import the data were local administrators on the Analysis Server (i.e., on the OS), and all those who were unable to import data were not.
When we added someone who couldn't import the data to the local Administrators group on the Analysis Server, they were able to import the data.
However, we can't give them local admin on the Analysis Server, and we are unable to determine what combination of user rights and permissions on folders we can grant the user as individual that will allow them to import the data.
Just as a test, we tried giving the user the same user rights that the admin group has, and the same permissions on all the drive as the admin group has, but that didn't work.
If it had worked, we could have started reducing the rights until we found the minimum necessary, but it didn't and once again we're stuck.
Please help!

NEED HELP ASAP Updated to Premiere Pro CC 2014 and now .MTS files are unsupported/unrecognized

I Have Windows 8
3.4 Ghz 8 Core Intel i7
32 GB Ram
PPCC2014
I was using Premiere Pro CC for the last year or so and .MTS Files have worked fine. Since I upgraded. I can no longer use .MTS Files.
I sync all of my footage using Plural Eyes. I updated plural eyes so that it would work with the New Premiere Pro CC 2014 update.
I tried going back to Premiere Pro CC; however, that was updated as well. It does recognize the .MTS files there, but it doesn't import the new .xml correctly created from Plural Eyes 3.5
If anyone knows any help or workaround so I can complete my TV episode. That would be great.
Also, I would prefer not to have to Transcode anything. Hours and Hours and Huge files won't really work.
I've also looked in to Re-wrapping. I understand Clipwrap is great for that; however, I have Windows not Mac. Other options look way too involved. I'd really just like my Premiere Pro to work the way it's supposed to,.
Does Adobe Media Encoder Rewrap?
Anyway, any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks

Thank You, Thank You!!!! That worked. I had to "Link Media" to the new file path, after I renamed the parent folder; however, it's working!!!! Hopefully there will be a fix for that soon!

I need help, I have alot of questions too (swing, code, optimizing...)

Hi, I'm having a little trouble with aligning my GUI correctly. Here are screenshots from my laptop which runs OS 10.4 & my PC running Windows 2000:
http://kavon89.googlepages.com/clipper.png <= On the laptop
http://kavon89.googlepages.com/clipper_windows2000.jpg <= On the PC
I don't know why the OS 10.4 looks almost perfect and the win 2k is a disaster. I played with it on my laptop and once i came over to my PC to post a problem about somthing else, i noticed this issue on my windows box. My guess is that either the JButton on OS 10.4 is smaller than the one for win2k and causing the automatic organizing to malfunction... or maybe the pixels are larger on my PC then on my laptop.
I was thinking that I should make diffrent .jar's for each OS since there are GUI issues.... or is there a way to make it universal? (i read somwhere about GridBag?)
Next off, Is there any way to reduce the size of the space between the JList box closest to the top of the frame & the buttons & text box below it? I tried all sorts of resizing and it seems stuck on some sort of space there which i would like to make compact.
Those are all the swing questions i have ^
About my code:
I recently added 2 buttons which are at the bottom of the OS 10.4 screenshot, Clear Box & Drop All. Clear Box is the one I made work, or so I thuoght. I wrote this for my Clear Box button (by the way, the button is sapose to just clear the text box directly to the upper left of itself.)
       if(e.getSource() == buttonc)
           textfield.setText("");
       }I thought that was the best way to go about clearing the text box. just setting it to blank. But after some testing to ensure there were no reprocussions, I found a problem... When i select somthing from my JList and hit Clear Box, it deletes the entry in the JList when it is not sapose to. It also does it when there is text in the textbox and i have selected somthing in my JList. I haven't been able to figure out why. Here is my full source code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class winclipstart
JButton buttona, buttond, buttonc, buttonda;

          String elementToAdd = textfield.getText();
          if(elementToAdd.equals("")==false) clippedtxt.addElement(textfield.getText());
       else
         int index = ClippedLines.getSelectedIndex();
         if(index > -1) clippedtxt.remove(index);
       if(e.getSource() == buttonc)
           textfield.setText("");
}There is a stray dragenabled true line in there which on my ibook showed that it drags after holding the mouse button down a little longer than expected, and it shows im dragging , but obiously not dropping because i haven't configured dropping yet. but on my windows machine it shows nothing of it. oh and, on the ibook it shows it with a green "+" and then makes it look like im trying to put it inbetween two other lines but does nothing when dropped like expected
Another question: In the beginning of my code i have it loading the entire library with the *, and i noticed after turning it into a .jar that it loads slower than i expected... would a way to speed it up be to specify exactly what i need loaded after the program is finished or would it make no diffrence?
:-/ seems my program isn't as cross platform as i exptected java to be

I solved the code problem myself after a careful run through of the code, the "else" in my subclass made it so that every button other than the Add button deleted a selected entry, i quickly fixed it and made it an if statement.
Thank you for the link cotton.m
My question bout optimizing still remains though:In the beginning of my code i have it loading the entire library with the *, and i noticed after turning it into a .jar that it loads slower than i expected... would a way to speed it up be to specify exactly what i need loaded after the program is finished or would it make no diffrence?

I have a tricky question about metadata and iTunes Match!

Hi,
Here's my question:
I have purchased some content from the iTunes Store, most of it classical music (although that's not so relevant for my question). The Store metadata is generally poor, so for every purchased item I changed the metadata to suit my tastes (for example, all albums by J.S. Bach have "Bach" as artist, instead of the performer, which is the default in the iTunes Store).
I have read some nightmare stories about metadata reverting to the original iTunes Store metadata, when subscribing to iTunes Match.
I have also understood that iTunes Match does not change the metadata stored locally on my HD.
So here is my question, which is twofold:
1) Say I bought a song by the artist "John" on the iTunes Store. On my library, I changed the artist field metadata to "Jeff". Now, I subscribe to iTunes Match. Naturally, it will match my song to the one on the Store. On my iPhone, will my song appear under "John", or "Jeff"?
2) In the same setting, after subscribing, will I still find this song under "Jeff" on my local library? In other words, what will change in my Desktop experience with iTunes?
If having bad metadata when browsing my music on my iPhone is the price to pay for having all my music at my disposal anytime, I won't mind. But if iTunes Match messes up all my hard work getting my library just right on my Desktop, then I have to pass.
Can you guys help me make a decision?
Thanks,
Paulo

Thanks,
Here is what another user got on https://discussions.apple.com/message/23028717#23028717 :
"I can say that when my spouse gifted me with iTunes Match it was a disaster for my music library. It's all classical, and I also standardized names of composers, performers especially when there were multiple ones, and a ton of other stuff. Whatever matched, iTunes just upped and erased that, and used the title, artist, and whatever else from the store."
This is *exactly* what I don't want to see happening! However, I could not find any other reports of what he describes. What do you think?

A few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.

I have a few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.
1) I understand I need at least 1GB of RAM to run Parallels Desktop but what about the hard drive, is the stock 60GB drive big enough?
2) Related to question 1, even if it was big enough to allow me to install and run Windows would the 60GB drive be enough if I wanted to install a Linux distribution as well?
3) This has nothing to do with Parallels Desktop but thought I'd ask it here anyway, do Apple Stores carry just the stock MacBooks, or do they carry other configurations?
Thanks
Keith

1. Depend on how intensive you use that HD for saving data on both Mac OS and XP. For standard installation on both OS X and XP, the space of 60 Gb is enough.
2. Same answer as no 1. You can install all three on that HD space, but the extra spacce available will be less and less for your data. You can save your data on external or back up on cd/dvd and erase it from the HD to keep the free space.
Remember to leave at least 2 or 3 Gb for virtual memory usage.
3. Just call them, maybe they don't have it in store stock, but by appointment they might configure one for you before your pick-up date.
Good Luck

A question about grub and USB

Hi All
I have a quick question about grub and USB that I can't quite find the answer to by searching. Most of the FAQs discuss booting a full linux dristribution from USB. My situation is this. I am getting a new computer with two drives, the second will be arch and the first will be Vista (for my wife). I want the computer to boot the same way that my wife's machine boots at work so I don't want to install grub on the MBR. So, is there a way to have all of the grub config files and kernels installed on the second drive and simply install to grub boot loader to the MBR of a USB stick? My goal would be to simply plug the USB stick into the new PC and boot arch from the second drive.
Thanks
Kev

i cant say for hp's
havent worked on any in a while
recent machines have been coupleof dell's , vaio & emachine
which dells do offer it at least the ones i tried , my laptop does(dell)
all home pc's are built by me which do offer to boot individual drives
what hp you getting it may tell in specs
are both discs sata? if so it might not offer this option with 2 drives of same interface
check your power supply alot of these preconfigured machines put cheap under reated power supplies in there
& will burn your motherboard i just replaced PS(250 watt) & mobo(845gvsr) in an emachines <cheap stuff<
i hope you researched the pc before buying ie : mobo, power supply are the biggest concerns
i find it much more benificial to build my own machine gives me peace at mind. the cost is sometimes more in $ but not always , your biggest expense is time researching hardware
if you live in usa the best places to start looking are bensbargains.net & pricewatch.com
i am not affiliated with either & niether sell the hardware they are just advertisers a place to buy
for costomized machines that i would trust is unitedmicro.com theyll asemble & test before shipping
i have gotten 2 machines so far from them with NO PROBLEMS with hardware (knock knock)
you may want to consider this in your next venture for pc

My ipod says i have no music on it, but when i plug it into itunes, and look under music on my ipod, its all there. NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! all the music came from a computer which i no longer have, so my ipod is the only place where that music is.

This morning, i downloaded about 16 songs to put on my ipod, and i manually dragged them over to my ipod to sync that way (like i always do because the music on my ipod came from a different computer which I no longer have) and on my way to work, i realized my ipod says "no content" under Music. However, when I plug my ipod into itunes and click on the music tab under my ipod name, all of my music is there. What happened and how do i get that music back on my ipod? I need help asap.

You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
http://dl.i-funbox.com/
to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

All my Albums in PSE 10 have disappeared. Need help asap to recover.

All my Albums in PSE 10 have disappeared. Need help asap to recover.
I have over 50 Albums and over 20K photos.
I did nothing wrong that I am aware of.
I believe Adobe intentionally sabotages older versions to force you to purchase the new version.
This has happened now 4 times in a row. To hide what they are doing they change the problems.
When I purchase the new version the problem miracleously disappears.

Hi,
Please ensure that correct catalog is open. Can you please show me a screenshot of your Elements Organizer 10 catalog?
To confirm if albums are actually gone or is in some odd view, you may check at one more place - click Find > By Details (Metadata) > choose "Album" and see if your albums get populated in the adjoining dropdown in this dialog?
