New bios has removed computer authorisation.

I recently ugraded my bios on my A8R32 MVP Deluxe motherboard. After rebooting I found that all my music was unauthorised for my computer. I have of course reauthorised it! Problem is that due to the recent purchase of this new machine and a couple of previous windows reinstalls on the old one I am now at four out of five authorizable machines. I realise that I can reset this every year however due to the newness of my harware and the likelihood of there being a number of system upgrades for it as they work the bugs out will I have to sacrifice updates for my music or vice versa?

Deauthorize before you mod the computer, then authorize after you are done.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93014
"Make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations. If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months"

The new Firefox has removed my Yahoo mail and other settings. Why? How do I get them back? It gives me a screen that says go "here" but nothing happens.

Before the latest update, I used Firefox almost exclusively. Now that the new version has removed, or hidden, my entire Yahoo settings and pages, I can't use Firefox at all.

New Bios has stopped my CQ61 from charing !

I recently switched to windows 7. Every thing was working fine till this morning when i installed drivers i had downloaded yesterday. I'm sure the bios driver started the problem because after installing it, i noticed upon restart that the screen lights where dimmed (it had switched to battery mode). Anyway i assumed it was just a glitch, as these things happen. About 2 hours later, i get a "battery at 7%" warning, then i realize that it had not been charging the whole time.
I noticed while trying to troubleshoot, that on unplugging and then re-plugging the charger, the battery starts to charge- but this only lasts for about 10 seconds.
Here's the bios i installed if it'l help: sp46655. I THINK the previous one was a version 1.7 (i cant remember).
My HPs full model is: CQ61-210EI
Thanks.

It sounds most likely that there's a problem with the AC Adapter (power connection).
Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly. Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
To Perform A Hard Reset
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds)
Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.

Plug you iPhone into your computer, select the iPhone, select the photos tab. Now check (not uncheck) the sync photos from... Select the folder where the photo came from, click apply then sync, now uncheck the sync photos box, click apply, it will ask you if you want to remove the photos click remove, it will not delete other photos exept the ones in the folder that was synced. Then click sync and the photos will be removed

So, has anyone had better luck with the kt4 ultra's new bios?

ive seen so many posts on here about probs with the board (mines memory related) wondering if anyone has any positive notes on the new bios, or if they are still having problems... i had to box mine back up and install the trusty old FIC board, cause i COULD NOT get the msi to work. VERY frustrating to have what seems like a great piece of hardware boxed up for bios/other issues. do the msi engineers read this board?????? come on guys.....

the p/n is pp-303XP
thats funny cause my system is working fine now on an older mobo. ive seen many people with similar problems (see the "MSI and a total lack of support" thread) and i really dont think its the power supply. i will reiterate:
the system runs fine with only 256 megs installed (pc2400) as soon as i plug in the other stick, wallah, nothing. your saying that the 3.8 volts or whatever it is that the stick of memory consumes, prevents the computer from starting up or even posting? i seriously dont think so. ive even tried all different hardware configs (took the ati card out and replaced it with an old TNT card) and it still wont work.
i dont need to get a bigger power supply.
MSI needs to provide better support, and get off their %$#%$ and at least get a stable bios out. from the looks of the forum, these boards are totally $%^&&.

Sync transfer is one way, matching the device content to the content on the computer, except purchased content as mentioned above. For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing):

I am 72. Old computer died. New one has Windows 7 Prof. Can I install Photoshop CS2?

I've been using Photoshop since version 4. Worked up to CS2, but not the suite. My old computer with XP died and the new one has Windows 7. Can I install it on the new one? I'm terrified to try because I am NOT a computer expert. Can I get help on this? Is CS3 (alone, not the suite) compatible with Windows 7? I only use Photoshop and InDesign and don't need all the extras. I went to a friend's house and tried Photoshop in her CS3 Suite. I can't figure out how to even cut things out using paths. Is CS 3 Photoshop (not suite) comparible to CS2? Please help me.

do you own photoshop cs2 and indesign cs2 or a suite containing both?
if yes, you can go here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
and download the two needed programs (note the serial numbers on the download page) and download and then install the two programs using the serial numbers from the download page.
you can probably just install on your win 7 computer without using compatibility mode.

In Apple Mail, my new messages are coming in without the blue dot, as if the messages have already been read. Why? Has my computer been compromised?

I did not use my laptop all day. This evening, when I looked at my new e-mail from earlier today, only about 3 messages still had the blue dot, that shows on unread mail. I watched new messages come in. One new one came in with the blue (unread) dot, then maybe when the next new message came in, the blue dot disappeared from the first message, but appeared on the new message. The 2 subsequent e-mails came in without any blue dot. I had not highlighted or opened any of those 4 new e-mails, or any of the previously delivered e-mails from today. I cannot find anything in system preferences or in mail preferences that addresses this issue. Anyone know why this is happening? Has my computer been breached or hacked?

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched. The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server. If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company. This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders? Are there any major advantages to using them?

I am going through a divorce and she has the computer. I'm trying to tranfer my music to a new computer but for about 100 songs its asking for her authorization password that I dont have. How can I get these songs transfered or can I?

It sounds like two Apple accounts were used in the purchase of songs, yours and hers. Assuming she won't give you her password, you're kinda stuck. For $129 or so you can repurchase them all.
By the way, if she has the computer and it has your account info in it, you ought to change your password.

X301 Secure Erase with new BIOS

Hi there,
I switched to an Intel X18-M SSD on my X301 some time ago. I noticed that the new BIOS was released with Secure Erase functionality some time ago. As I was going to rebuild my laptop today, I thought I would give it a go. Turns out that this was a mistake. The utility failed on the Intel SSD necessitating a reboot after running for six hours. After the reboot, it turns out that the utility has set a hard drive password on the disk (there was not one before). As I have no way to know what password it has set, I am effectively locked out of my drive and it's a brick to all intents and purposes.
Does anyone (Lenovo in particular) know what password is set during the running of the Secure Erase functionality of the latest BIOS? My only alternative is to find out if there is a default master password from Intel. Since in principle, this should be blank, I believe that I am scuppered unless someone in Lenovo can tell me what password they set using the utility.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Hi Andy,
From the instructions at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-68369:
Turn off the computer.
Turn on the computer.
While the "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button" message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key. The BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears, type the correct password.
Select the Security menu of the BIOS Setup Utility menu.
Select the Solid State Drive menu. The following message is displayed. Erase the Solid State Drive in the HDD bay [Enter]
Press Enter key.
Hitting Enter key makes showing next caution message and confirmation.
Yes confirmation shows next confirmation message.
If a harddisk password was set, a password prompt appears. Type the correct password.
Further process will start after entering the harddisk password.
Press F3 key several times to exit the BIOS Setup Utility.
As I did not have a HDD password set, I did not see step 9.
The utility is intended to perform a secure erase of a SSD using the ATA command set. In order to achieve this, it must first set a password on the drive (which is why it requires the user tell it the pwd if none has been set - see the end of this post for detailed documentation of this requirement).
In normal operation, the password would be cleared at completion of the operation. Because the operation failed however, the password is currently still there. Since I do not know what it is, I have been locked out of the (very expensive) drive.
In other tools which perform a secure erase (such as HDDERASE.EXE), the password which is set is documented for situations like this. This is not a security issue, rather it is one of following the correct process as laid down by the ATA standard.
It may well be that Lenovo has used a randomly generated password, in which case they have bricked my drive. If not, and a 'default' password is in use, then there is a means to recover the drive if they would document it. Since this is not a security issue, it really shouldn't be a problem. Furthermore, since the password was set without my consent, the security issue is mine since the utility has effectively executed a denial of service on me.
See here for details of the ATA secure erase protocols to understand how the password is used:
https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_Erase
The relevant section which explains why the Lenovo utility does this is:
"To successfully issue an ATA Security Erase command you need to first set a user password."
This is what the utility has done and by not subsequently removing it, has denied me access to my drive.
Cheers.

Transferring from my new ipod to another computer

Is it possible to transfer all of my music from my new ipod to another computer that I have? I copied all of my CD's on my home computer & now I am connected to my other computer which has my old music library on it.....is it posssible to have your library on two computers?

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos".
