Not sure what's wrong with my computer

I have a HP pavilion a200n. It was working great on 12/20/08. I went away for a few days and when I came home and turned it on it would not load windows, all it would go to a page that showed these confirgurations and at the bottom "F1 for settings". If I try pressing "F1 or shift F1" I just get a beeping sound. Any answer or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Marcia

Hi Marciah0219, welcome!
Hockeycunuckjc has a good idea, just want to remind people to always perform a backup (or get help) before doing a system restore. However, because you stated you cannot get into safe mode, you may need to just shut down the machine, unplug the keyboard and carefully reconnect it; also consider trying another keyboard. If these tests do not work, please reply with the beep pattern (for example, one long and one short beep - pause - repeats).

Not sure what's wrong with my laptop.

My laptop looks like this (picture below) when I turn it on. I took it in to fix it because I was getting the blue screen but when i got it back they gave it to me like this and they told me it was a graphics card problem but I am totally confused. By looking at the picture, do you think that the screen is broken or could it be a video/graphics card problem? Any other possiblities? Thank you for your help!!
P.S. Not sure if it's needed but the model is dv7-4069wm
This question was solved.

Hi arelymedina,
I will be happy to help you with trying to resolve the graphics problem with your HP Pavilion dv7-4069wm Entertainment Notebook. Have you been able to connect an external monitor to see if that shows the same issue? This is a way that we can make sure it's not the hardware of the notebook screen itself.
Looking forward to your response.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Need help with my satellite a105 not sure what is wrong

I am not sure what is wrong but I think my laptop has viruses and I can not even update my virus software.
When I go to google and type in anything, say I type in virus protection it takes me to the search results but when I click on any of the sites I get redirected to other search pages. I can not get to any page even if I type it directly in the address bar.
I do not have a recovery disk that I know of because I was just going to reformat. Any ideas of what I can do? a computer guy wants $125.00 to fix it.
thank you
Denise

The problem is that, a lot of things work themselves deep into the Registry. Clearly you have some kind of click hijacker on your system if all your links are going places you don't want.
OK, so you can try a couple of things.
First, figure out if there is a way to update your anti-virus without doing it from within the program. It may be possible to download the update files on your other computer and burn them to CD. I would not recommend any method other than a CD-Rom. If you use a USB flash stick you may transfer the infection back to your other computer. If that's not possible...
Secondly, you can download a program called Hijack This on your other computer. http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis It will tell you what is running on startup, what kind of browser helper objects (BHO's) you have in your browser, etc. If you can get this installed and run, post the log here, that will be useful to getting it fixed.

Can't get ACD working not sure what's wrong

First off can users with SNR or shared extensions work with ACD? I'm following the guide but can't get anything to work.
I made a basic ACD called 515 as the pilot number with all basic settings and put 2 of my extensions as members. I then put on my autoattendant that pressing 1 goes to the ACD.
If I call the auto attendant and press 1, it says connected, then just hangs up.
I also don't know how to tell if I'm logged in to the ACD or how to log out. It says in the help that you use the HLog key to log in and out, and I do have that key on my 7970 and 7960 but its grayed out on the 7970 and on both phones just says That key is not active here. So not sure what's wrong, it seems like it's just not working in general based on it just hanging up when the AA transfers a call to it. If I try to dial the pilot number I get a busy signal but I think it has to come from the AA from what the guide said.
Not sure what's going on or how to troubleshoot this, any suggestions?

Okay good to know because the help pages on setting up hunt groups say the extensions can't be shared ones so thought maybe that's why. It seems to be something though because I made a new normal extension, removed the shared ones from the ACD members list and added just the normal one. Now when I press HLog on the phone it logs in and out it says.
However calling the ACD does the same thing, just hangs up.
Is Shared extension not what I'm supposed to use if I want to have say extension 300 show on a physical phone and IP communicator? Since normal only lets you add it to one device, I assume share is the right option? Just seems like it causes issues with ACD.
Not sure how to run that command you said above, I'm just following the built in help which seems straightforward just not sure why it won't work.

[SOLVED] Not sure what to do with passwd.pacnew

Hey, I have just encountered my first .pacnew file and am not sure what to do with it. I have read the wiki, but I know a lot of this has to be left up to the user, and I don't think I'm educated enough on this to solve it on my own. The passwd file looks like this:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/false
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/bin/false
mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/bin/false
ftp:x:14:11:ftp:/srv/ftp:/bin/false
http:x:33:33:http:/srv/http:/bin/false
uuidd:x:68:68:uuidd:/:/sbin/nologin
dbus:x:81:81:dbus:/:/sbin/nologin
nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/:/bin/false
polkitd:x:102:102:Policy Kit Daemon:/:/bin/false
avahi:x:84:84:avahi:/:/bin/false
mysql:x:89:89::/var/lib/mysql:/bin/false
kdm:x:135:135::/var/lib/kdm:/bin/false
johnathan:x:1000:100::/home/johnathan:/bin/bash
git:x:999:999:git daemon user:/:/bin/bash
systemd-journal-gateway:x:191:191::/:/usr/bin/nologin
systemd-timesync:x:192:192::/:/usr/bin/nologin
and the passwd.pacnew file looks like this:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/false
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/bin/false
mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/bin/false
ftp:x:14:11:ftp:/srv/ftp:/bin/false
http:x:33:33:http:/srv/http:/bin/false
uuidd:x:68:68:uuidd:/:/sbin/nologin
dbus:x:81:81:dbus:/:/sbin/nologin
nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/:/bin/false
systemd-journal-gateway:x:191:191:systemd-journal-gateway:/:/bin/false
systemd-timesync:x:192:192:systemd-timesync:/:/bin/false
As you can see, there are quite different, including missing lines in the .pacnew file and a change from polkitd and avahi to systemd. Could anyone tell me what is safe to merge?
Thanks for your help!

You should use vimdiff, or a similar tool, to identify any updates to the files that you may want to pull into your current config.
I think such changes should also be announced on Arch News / RSS
i.e. https://www.archlinux.org/news/
So that users know that there are lines to be imported. (Atleast for filesystem package if not other packages)
EDIT:
I notice that those two users are already there in my system (in both passwd and shadow). So somewhere update already added those users. That is why possibly there was no announcement on Arch News.
But those new users are NOT in *new* shadow. IS IT A BUG? i.e. if users are in passwd, they should in shadow as well right?

What's Wrong with My Computer?

I have a G5 desktop computer, I believe it's referred to as a "Power Mac." My mom purchased it some years ago, I think in late 2005 shortly after this particular model was on the market.
Info is:
Version 10.5.8
Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Drive 240 GB (127 GB unused/available)
My mother wasn't using this computer for many years, and my 13" Macbook was giving me trouble, so she gave this one to me. It's all been great (she maxed out the memory and hard drive space when she bought it, even though it is outdated and insignificant compared to current models), except for one little thing... Browsing the internet is usually fine when it's only one window, but not always. However, it is almost a guarantee that while trying to operate multiple windows and trying to play a video, Safari will crash. And not just once in awhile. I'm talking about on a daily basis. During regular offline computer use, like Photoshop or iTunes, the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it? I presume it is a physical issue (failing memory, mother board, etc.), but what?

Your computer is not remotely "maxed out" with RAM.
You're describing a G5 Quad like mine (though mine was built in June of 2006), and maxed out means having 16 GB of RAM installed, like mine has.

That's called a Kernel Panic, and, yes, it is most often caused by hardware problems, such as bad RAM or mismatched RAM. I can't imagine how you get to 4.5 GB of RAM without exponentially increasing the risk of mismatched RAM.
RAM has to be installed in matched pairs, starting from the center slots and spreading outward: 4*3*2*1*1*2*3*4
On the other hand, my own personal experience has led me to conclude that Safari is a piece of cr@p. It causes problems just being active in the background, causing other applications to fail.
Check your RAM carefully, starting with just one pair of matched RAM sticks in the two center slots, then adding one pair at a time. Check your hard disk with Apple's Disk Utility.
The kernel panics can be caused by a damaged directory too, so if you own Disk Warrior, run it. If you don't own DiskWarrior, at least Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility and use Verify Disk/Repair Disk with it.
I'd also recommend downloading and installing Applejack and run it according to the instructions.
Good luck.

What's wrong with my computer/browser?

http://screenr.com/gzr8
I can't figure out what is wrong with my browser. Any ideas?
It might be flash, silverlight, etc?

Here is the link, which was also listed above: http://www.screenr.com/gzr8
The problem is that some images, videos, etc. are not showing up when I am using an internet browser (chrome or firefox). The video shows this visually which is hard to explain without seeing it.

You have a Macbook Pro. A Mac Pro is a desktop. The light on your power cord is orange when it's charging. It turns green once it's fully charged.

Installing Infra 10.1.4.0.1 -- not sure what to do with warning received

I understand that in order to use SSO with Forms and Reports Standalone I need to install the Infra. Therefore, I spent the weekiend readiing the appropriate manuals for OID Concepts and Deployment Planning Guide, SSO Admin Guide, and manuals these 2 doc referenced.
I am trying to installing Infra10g on top of Forms and Reports standalone in my test environment on my laptop before I install on our servers.
My test environment is Windows XP. I am in the process of installing the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure 10g 10.1.4.0.1.
Select a Product to Install: Oracle Application Server Infrastructure 10g
Select Installation Type/Oracle Application Server Infrastructure 10g 10.1.4.0: Identity Management and Metadata Repository
Now I have the following Warrning:
The installation type you have chosen is not certified for production use on Windows XP. The following installation type is certified on this platform:
-- Oracle Identity Federation
You can click OK to continue with this unsupported installation, or go back to the "Selecgt a Product to Install" screen and change your selection.
I serarch on Oracle Identity Federation and didn't come up with much to determine what to do.
I don't need this to be certified, as I only want to play with it on my laptop to get an understanding of SSO. I am not sure that Identity Federation with give me the SSO framework that I need.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you in advance,
Mika
Edited by: Mika2 on Mar 24, 2009 11:19 AM

Because, you wanted to test SSO with Forms, you will be fine without the IDentity Federation on your test machine.
What Id Fed does is somewhat like the following:
"Although single sign-on (SSO) enjoys wide adoption for its ability to cut down the need for redundant logins, mere SSO is insufficient for companies which must operate in a federated environment - that is, an environment where services need to be shared with business partners while protecting those same services from unauthorized access.
A federated environment enables business partners to achieve integration in the identity management realm, by providing a mechanism for companies to share identity information across their respective security domains."
See this link for [Oracle Id Federation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28196_01/idmanage.1014/b25355/intro.htm#sthref10] details.

Not sure what is up with my screen

Hello,
My sister has a Powerbook G4 that is about 4-5 years old. I use it a lot as well as I'm in love with the keyboard and think it's one of the best keyboards.
Lately the screen has started flickering, I went to load a page today and it sort of showed a interference flicker about 3/4 down from the top of the screen and I had to adjust the screen to make to it stop. Then my sister said it's flickered on her before.
What is wrong with it exactly? Is the screen dying or does it need a new battery? My sister has a white Macbook and I have a 17" iMac so it's okay if we have to be without it for awhile but it's our favourite.

There are a couple of sites you might want to check out:
http://www.ifixit.com/
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/
The have step by step guides for taking apart your Mac and replacing things. They also carry many parts. I don't know if they have the cables separately, but they might. You can always call and ask about parts not specifically listed.
If you want to check out the cable itself, you will need to remove the cables and then if there is no obvious break, use a continuity tester like an ohmmeter or a beeper to check conductivity until you find the broken conductor. It may be broken inside the insulation where you can't see it. Look for the break to be where the cable flexes when the PB is opened and closed. Especially look where it enters and exits the hinge.
Good luck!

HT201240 I've tried the suggestions in "changing or resetting an account password", and when i reboot and do command + s, instead of "root" it says "shell".........what's wrong with my computer!

I've gone in and tried to reboot my computer, A FEW TIMES!, with the command + s stuff, and instead of the "root" it says I'm supposed to get, my computer says "shell"...... I don't know if I did something wrong with my computer, but I need to get back on. I called Apple Support, and they told me that since it's out of my warranty, there's nothing they can do. I can pay 40 freaking dollars to talk to someone, and get a 30 day thing, but *** is that gonna do? I just need back on my computer so I can do homework and get my life back to normal.
I'll try anything, unless it includes spending money, or taking my computer to an Apple Store. There isn't one within 100 miles of me.

What's wrong with my computer network?

Hello, recently Google Chrome has been displaying "Error 7 (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT)" on all pages i try to access. For a while, i thought it was a Chrome specific problem, so i did a lot of research on how i thought i could fix it.. i did many things, from clearing my cache to creating a new "profile." Giving up on Chrome, i decided to go back to Safari. Safari wouldn't load any of the pages i enter, i don't know what the problem is!
Since it isn't a Chrome specific problem, it must be something with my network.. or proxy.. or something i may not know about in such great detail.
I have tried letting all things coming in through my firewall (turning it off), but that doesn't work.
I don't want to mess around with things i don't know a lot about, which is why i am asking the Support Community to PLEASE help me.
I will need my laptop a lot over the Summer, and i would like to have this fixed as soon as possible.
Thank You so much. Any responses are appreciated.

Please, i need your responses..
I think i've narrowed it down to something that's wrong with my Proxy.
When i went to the Proxies tab under Network, everything is empty.
For the "Configure Proxies," the "Using a PAC file" is selected, but the PAC file URL is blank. And when i select "manually" all the settings there are blank as well. I'm pretty sure this isn't supposed to be the way it is, but i was wondering if ANYONE can help me figure out how to just fill in the blank spaces.
Thanks a lot. Again, ANY responses/suggestions are appreciated!

What is wrong with my computer?

About a month ago, my early 2008 iMac running Snow Leopard bega getting really slow. Excruciatingly slow. Unusable. Constant beachballing. The only way to quit anything is to force quit it. I feel like I've tried eveything at this point with no success. I have run disk utility countless times, zapped the PRAM, started in safe boot, run Applejack, run Preferential Treatment, zeroed out the drive and reinstalled the OS like three times. I pretty much always have Activity monitor open these days and I rarely use more than 3/4 of the RAM, so I don't think this is a resource issue. I took it to the Apple store and they determined that there's nothing wrong with the hardware, so I'm sure that there's something lurking somewhere that's causing all these problems.
My theory right now is that there's something in my music folder that is the root of all this. I think this because after my last reinstall, I had it working rather painlessly. Since my iTunes library is rather large, I set it to copy back from the Time Machine back up and went to bed. The next morning, I was right back where I started. So, my question is now: Does this theory even make any sense? Is it possible that a corrupt .mp3 or .m4v or whatever is having these system wide effects? Maybe if my library was corrupt? If that even could happen, how would you go about determining what file was the culprit? Keep in mind that I have around 100 GB of data in iTunes, so dropping the files in one by one would not rally be an option. I would also like to retain my playlists if possible, as a few of them are really sweet.
Any help you all can give would be really appreciated, I'm basically at my wit's end and I don't want to call Apple Care again.

OK, here's what we get from Console. This is from after the first hang after I had to restart the machine using the power button.
