New H97 Gaming 3 will not POST with i5 4690 - Need an old CPU to reflash BIOS?

I just finished assembling my new computer with an i5 4690, H97 Gaming 3, 8GB Kingston DDR3 RAM, 600W PSU. I ordered everything from Amazon a week ago.
When I turn it on, it does not POST or beep, it just power cycles every few seconds. I don't know what BIOS version it has because nothing shows on the screen. I believe I an old version of the BIOS that is incompatible with the i5 4690 but I need the CPU to work to update the BIOS..
I'm not sure I am reading the compatibility list correctly. Are CPUs listed as "7918v10.zip" working on stock BIOS?

I will install an old CPU, reflash BIOS with current version, and replace the CPU with my i5 4690.
I read on Tom's Hardware that the Pentium G3258 is compatible with stock BIOS. Is this true?

I have a new computer now with windows 8. Old one was windows 7. The itunes library contains all I expect on new computer. Ipod will not sync with content. It says it is syncing but only picks up 1 tune. Solution please. I am on itunes 64 but it makes no difference from 32 bit.

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.

I have Adobe Elements10. The RAW images from my new Canon G16 camera will not open. Do I need an upgrade?

See:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
You need the 8.2 version of the ACR module, and PS10 is too old to be updated.
So, you can choose between 3 solutions:
- update PSE to PSE12
- use the Canon software to convert the raw files to the tiff format which PSE10 can handle
- download and install the free Adobe DNGconverter which is able to convert a whole folder of CR2 raw files to the Adobe DNG raw format which PSE10 can handle.
The last two solutions are free.

My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

Iphone 3g will not see my new apple id so will not sync with cloud

I changed my apple id because i no longer had access to the old email address - what a mess! I finally got the ipad to recognize the new id but the iphone automatically sees the old id and will not "take" the new one. I went to the apple store and signed out of the old id and and into the new but it still sees the old id whenever I try to back up to the cloud
Please help me I am losing my mind.

Disregard - someone much smarter than I showed me to delete the account and then replace it wiht the new one. Thanks to him I'm all set

P43 Neo3-F will not post with Vertex SSD attached

Without my OCZ Vertex SSD attached, my rev. 1.1 P43 Neo3-F with bios v2.4 acts like a normal mainboard. As soon as attach my Vertex SSD, it freezes during POST. If I bring up the boot menu during POST and pick the SSD, I get a blinking cursor and no post. I tried several of the regular SATA (non-Jmicron) ports but the same result.
Do I have to change the SATA mode on the SATA ports for an SSD to work? I think I remember seeing that your port should be set to IDE mode for this SSD in the OCZ forums. Can someone tell me where in the bios I could find this option? I'm having a lot of trouble finding stuff in this bios.
If that is not the case... there is one newer bios I could flash too. I read the directions and it says don't flash from floppy - which I've already done. Do I really have to go throught that RAMDRIVE stuff it discusses or is flashing from floppy okay as long as the floppy is "good". I know of the USB stick method but won't be using that.
But I have trouble believing that a P43 mainboard would be incompatible with an SSD. What's odd is that I didn't have this problem until I installed WinXP on the SSD. I could see that interfering with booting but why would that interfere with POSTing?

I flashed the bios to the very latest for the 1.1 version... the 2.5 bios but no help. I now have WinXP installed and it loads but the BIOS chokes on the SSD and there is a 25 second wait followed by about 10 second black screen and then the desktop just magically appears - no XP progress bar ever seen. Whenever the SSD is attached to the board, it lets out a strange chirp sound after the good post beep.
I tried installing XP on the SSD on my DFI Blood Iron and it works perfectly. I tried changing every related bios option on the MSI board I could find but nothing helps.
Anybody here running a Vertex on this board?

New Epson WF 7620 will not print with Macbook Air, receive "Print File Was Not Accepted" message.

Hello! To anyone who tries to help me, thank you in advance!
I brought home a new Epson WF 7620 yesterday and did all the necessary stuff, installing it with my Macbook Air (Mac OS X ; 10.7.4.). I installed the software from the site, added the printer to my printer list, enabled "print sharing" and connected it to my wifi network. I am trying to use it wirelessly.
I tried to print a test page of a regular PNG image, but I am receiving the "Print File Was Not Accepted" message in my printer queue. I have changed the file type a couple times to JPG and PDF but more of the same. I have also reset the printer, and have repaired the disk permissions in the Disk Utility to try and get it to work.
None of this seems to be working, suggestions very appreciated!
Thanks

Try Linc's suggestion first. That should cure your issue. If not, here's something else to consider:

Apple keeps a set of current software for Epson printers. You should start by going to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and delete the printer from the list (using the "-" key). Then download Apple's software version from here:
Epson Printer Drivers v2.18 for OS X
Finally, set up the printer as shown here:

New Blackberry 3g 9330 Will Not Snyc with MS Outlook Calendar

Just moved from the BB Curve 8330 to the 3g 9330. I went through the sync set up in the BB Desktop software. However, after several syncs, not all calendar entries copied from the BB 9330 to Outlook 2003. I have Windows XP. I double checked the settings, but don't know where to turn. I use this for business, so any help will be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would try the solution in scenario 2. That should get all your calendar events into your default calendar so you can sync everything to Outlook.

Mac Pro will not boot with Snow Leopard - need help!

I have had a lot of issues with Snow Leopard since I upgraded from 10.5.8. Most of my problems started after installing Office 2007. I finally wiped the hard drive and reinstalled everything. No problems until last week. Start up was taking longer and had to reboot a couple of times because of grey screen. So I would just put computer to sleep. Yesterday the computer was frozen on screen saver with scrambled rows of pixels on screen two and the main monitor had a frozen image.
I initially pulled all peripherals out and pulled the power plug for 5 minutes. I have left the peripherals out and pulled the second monitor as well. I tried pulling the power plug during a few more starts but nothing gets me to a complete start up screen.
I have tried resetting PRAM and VRAM and tried a safe boot. I tried booting from Snow Leopard and my Leopard disk stayed on either a blue or gray screen with spinning beach ball (on gray screen).
Put original install disk in and booted from using D to check the hardware. Good news is that the hardware test was OK. I did the extended test.
All different kind of start up problems.
- Some start with start up sound goes to Apple logo to blue screen to grey screen with beachball
- Some start ups with no initial sound then Apple logo to blue screen to grey screen with no cursor or beachball
- Some start ups with no sound to gray screen to blue screen to grey screen.
I have no problem wiping the HD1 again but I can't even get the OS disk to be recognized with holding the C key during start up. This last time it went to a blue screen (holding the C key) and a cursor.
I don't know what else to do - Please help!!!

There are lists (MacIntouch and MacFixit) of hardware / software support issues with 10.6. Accelerateyourmac is another place to watch.
There were some really long threads back in Sept about printer driver support.
The 7300 firmware was more about Windows support; those cards are failing and dropping like flies (how DO they know 3 yrs has expired anyway?) and they don't support SL features like OpenCL etc so I'd invest in ATI 4870, best graphic card and works in all models Mac Pro.
Lots and lots of bootable clones for backup. Never need to wipe and install again.

MS-6580 (845PE Max VER 2.0) not POSTING with 2GB of DRAM -- POST with only 1GB

Ok I am currently fixing a client's PC, he wanted a RAM upgrade from 1GB to 2GB. I purchased a Komputerbay 2GB (2 X 1GB) DDR DIMM (184 PIN) 333Mhz DDR333 PC2700 kit, it was the cheapest I could find. The problem is, the system will not POST with the two 2GB modules installed, only with 1GB on either DIMM slot. I've tested them both RAM modules, and they work. Before, the PC had 2x 512MB DRAM installed, and it was working, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the DIMM slots.
When I start the system, I get two paused beeps, and some weird noise, not sure what is.
I've read the motherboard manual, and it says the maximum support is 2GB DDR 333mhz.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Quote from: Mike on 22-October-11, 03:36:53
Does it post with only one 2GB dimm installed?
I don't believe the board/chipset will support 4GB(2x2GB).
http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/845PE-Max2.html#/?div=Detail
I don't know where you're getting 4GB, I never said anything about 4GB - I must have made a type but what I mean was: The motherboard wouldn't post with two 1GB modules (2GB) as specified to be the maximum according to the manual. It would only post with 1GB(1x1GB or 2x512MB) or 1.5GB(1x1GB + 1x512MB) of RAM.
No worries, the problem is resolved now.

I have a new iPad 2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router being installed. When I tap my network name (which is with TalkTalk) the message comes up "unable to join the network TalkTalk etc...)

I have a new Apple iPad2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router. When I tap the correct address it comes up with the message "Unable to join the network TalkTalketc... It does connect in other peoples' houses . Am I right in thinking that the trouble is with TalkTalk?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

New ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import

my new ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import,through itunes,other computer has no itunes

I'm not sure how the "other computer" is relevant, but on the computer with iTunes, you probably need to update the iPod's settings for automatic syncing, or load the new songs from CD manually.
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected. Select it there. The shuffle's Summary screen is shown to the right. There is a checkbox for Manually manage music there. Is that setting currently checked or not checked?
If it is checked, your iPod is set to add and remove songs manually. It does not use automatic syncing to update content. This is how to manually add and remove songs from an iPod.
To add songs manually... Show a song list in iTunes. For example, select Music under LIBRARY in the sidebar, to show your main music library list. Drag a song from the song list to the iPod in the sidebar. You can do this with more than one song selected, such as the songs from that "CD import." Alternately, right-click on the selection and choose the command Add to Playlist -> [name of your iPod].
To remove songs manually... Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod. Click on Music there. The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: If Manually manage music is currently not checked, your iPod is set to use automatic syncing. Please post back for info on setting up or updating the iPod's automatic sync settings. When automatic syncing is enabled, you make iTunes responsible for keeping your iPod "in sync" with your iTunes library.
