Now my NIC card doesn't work: MEDIA DISCONNEC

I was helping my brother install an Audigy 2 ZS to replace his Soundblaster Li've. His machine is a Shuttle VIA Chipset with a P3-733, 52 pc-33 RAM, an old LinkSys 0mbp card with CAT5 and 0B-T connectors on the back (using the CAT5). The network card is plugged into a D-LINK router and which is then connected to a SurfBoard 300 Cable Modem. Before we turned it off the internet connection was working correctly. Anyways, unplugged all of the wires, openned the computer, pulled out the old LIVE card, stuck the new AUDIGY in, replugged everything and ran the Audigy installer (drivers off of CD) and rebooted. At this point the little icon in Windows (XP Pro SP2) that shows your network is not connected was showing. First I checked the wire. Have a green light on the NIC, a green light on the router that comes and goes as I plug the wire in and out. To be sure I tried with another wire as well. I pulled the power on the Router, the Wireless router addon box (also a D-LINK), the cable modem and turned the computer off. Then booted Cable Modem, Computer and then router(s). Still nothing IPCONFIG = Media Disconnected. So then I plugged the cable modem directly into the computer. Did all of the same resets / reboots, IPCONFIG, flushDNS, RELEASE, RENEW... etc... still Media Disconnected. So I am at a lose. What should I do next?
I hear that the Audigy 2 ZS drivers could be causing an IRQ conflict... Would changing PCI slots help?Could this be a registry problem? Would running a restore point help? Should I go out and buy another network card (I know 00mbp card is an upgrade and not expensi've)... Should I pull the Audigy out and put the Li've back in to see if this fixes it's What am I missing?
Ideally I would be able to fix things without having to try a new network card, or bringing back the Audigy... Thanks! Dan P.

Dan,
Try changing the PCI slots on the Audigy 2 ZS. If that doesn't help you may want to cleansweep and reinstall both the Audigy 2 ZS and the NIC (Reinstall the Audigy 2 ZS first then the NIC). Instructions on how to cleansweep the Audigy 2 ZS can be found at:

Ethernet card doesn't work with new arch install?

Hi guys,
so this is kinda my first post, not that I'm new to arch i just never had an issue i couldn't figure out on my own... But i love arch i have been using it for about a year now and have had no serious problems except for this. I have had arch running on an older dell vostro 200 desktop before i reinstalled with a vary similar issue except that the fix i came up with doesn't work anymore. I will tell you about the first issue first because i ALMOST posted on here about it originally but i figured out a way to make it work even though it was a hassle.
After cold/rebooting my computer the network card doesn't work at all. lspci reported that the kernel module e1000e was the correct one (i have verified this) and that the kernel has loaded it, i verified that with dmesg but still it wouldn't work. After much much anguish and hairpulling, I realized that it had to have something to do with the module so i tried forcing it to reload with rmmod e1000e and modprobe e1000e and it still wouldn't work until i physically unpluged the ethernet cord and pluged it back in until the light on the NIC turned on. After that everything works as normal i could even unplug and plug it back in with no problems. So eventually i wrote a script that did this for me (except for the uplugging and plugging part) and i used that when i cold/rebooted.
But now i have the exact same issue after reinstalling arch to the T except for the fact that the (crazy) fix i came up with doesn't work now. I used my "fix" after booting from the arch cd and it worked just like it always has. And now after rebooting into my fresh system the fix doesn't work anymore. So now i'm back where i was to begin with but i have no idea what to try next. I didn't do anything particularly different during installation except i added a udev rule for the e1000e module just to see if somehow that would fix the problem... it didnt and i have since deleted that (to see if it was the problem). The only other thing that is different is the root and home are now btrfs partitions instead of ext4.
I have booted several other live cds and dvds (diferent distros) including arch derivatives such as manjaro and they all worked just fine, using the same kernel module (e1000e). I'm not sure what that could mean but i know that it means there is a fix for this some way or another. I am going to hook up a wifi adapter and connect that computer to the internet to put some more information up if it's needed (asked for) but for now lspci -vnn | grep -i -A 10 net reports

Sorry I was thinking that it was say "state up" after that, I was looking in the wrong place... It's been a long time since I was playing around with this. So it is as i thought it was before?

P20-552: 2GB SD card doesn't work.

I have a P20-552 (PSP26E-025E9-S4) which is about 18 months old. I recently bought a Canon digital camera (IxUS 750) with a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II SD card and the combination is working well. Although I can transfer images from the camera to my Toshiba portable using an USB cable, sometimes I would like to use the SD slot on the portable but there seems to be a problem: seconds after pressing home the SD card in the slot I get the message "Disk is not formatted - Do you want to format it now?". I reply OK but then I get the message "The disk in drive E cannot be formatted"
The card continues to work perfectly well in both my camera and in my iPaq PocketPC. The SD card slot in the Toshiba will work quite happily with the Sandisk 256MB SD card that is usually in my PDA.
Anybody has any idea why the 2GB card doesn't work in the Toshiba? Is it a question of updating a driver - I did look the other day but I couldn't find anything that to me seemed appropriate but I might well have overlooked something..
I am running XP Home (SP2) and have fully automatic updates ON. I have Norton Virus and Zone Alarm running and am not experiencing any problems with any other software/applications - at least, no problem since someone suggested vacuuming my overheating laptop a few weeks ago ;-)
Thanks, Brian.

It seems that the unit doesnt support this card.
Check your user manual. There you will find a information that this unit supports only the following SD card sizes: 8/16/32/64/128/256 and 512 MB
According to this document the 2 GB are to high.

My iPhone4 got wet. And now the home button doesn't work.

Today it was raining and my iPhone4,which was in my pocket, got wet. And now the home button doesn't work. What should i do to fix it?

I would place the iPhone in a big bowl of white rice, rather than in a baggie. That's what my brother did with his iPod touch that got wet, and it fixed it. The iPod touch works perfectly fine now, and the bowl is better because while the rice soaks up any wetness or condensation, the openness of the bowl gives way for evaporation.
A good idea would also be to take out your SIM card, if at all possible. Put it back in when you're ready.

My Card doesn't work anymore and keeps asking me for the card information. How do I turn the card option back to "none".

How do I turn this off? I can't download anything until I put in the card's information. But the card doesn't work anymore, it ran out of money. It keeps saying that my last perchase was unseccessful or something. I just want this to stop so I can update and download apps! Please help!

My iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 crahed b/c the HD cannot be repaired. I reinstalled Mac OS X and luckily have most documents and applications. I have moved them all into folders before I erase the HD. I had all my documents but lost the 3 applications for iWorks. It says go to the store, buy and enter your serial#. That is not working. Here it is:MB966Z/A

I need the updates. Apple has my sign in Apple ID.

Your More system details list show that you run the latest Firefox 4.0.1 version.<br />
You can check that via Help > About Firefox and on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
If you posted from another computer then download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Install Snow Leopard on another boot partition, or upgrade Microsoft Office to a newer version, or use any number of better alternatives. Some of them are free.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

I just updated to 7.1 on my 5S and now my finger print doesn't work. Anyone else have this problem?

Hey Carol5005,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Touch ID. The following article provides some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful:
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
Resolving issues with Touch ID
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iOS.
2. Ensure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
3. If you are using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
4. Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and verify that:
- iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is enabled.
- One or more fingerprints have been enrolled.
5. If one finger isn't working, tap Edit in Settings > Touch ID & Passcode to delete and then reenroll the finger.
6. If that finger still isn't working, try enrolling a different finger.
7. If you are unable to enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
* Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin may affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
Thanks,
Matt M.

You have given us inaccurate info about your iMac.

OS X 10.6- 10.9 all run on much newer Intel CPU iMacs that have aluminum enclosures.
Typically, mid-2007 models and later.
The iMac model you described can't possibly run OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work

I upgraded to iOS7 on my WiFi only iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work. It toggles between Ringer on and off and of course, there is no ringer on my WiFi iPad. Same thing happens in the control panel when I switch functions and try to mute the sound there. It used to toggle between Volume on and off. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sigh Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

ICloud is messing with my phone and now iStore says my card doesn't work.

Okay. Where do I begin. I feel like a crazy person, Anyway.
So all of this started when I got my MacBook Pro. I had just got a new e-mail so of course I want to update my iCloud account with the new e-mail and a new password. Seems easy enough but NO, it's been a nightmare.
1. I can't update, delete or do anything with the iCloud setting in my phone, which is still registered to the old e-mail. It keeps asking for the old password and it does not make sense because it has been disabled. Help me god.
2. I can't update or do anything in the App/iTunes Store because it keeps asking for verification, which leads to my card info (was already saved) but now all I get is it has either been declined or is not a valid payment option etc etc etc.
3. Same thing as number 2 happened on my iTunes Store on my macbook.
And that's it. My phone is having a meltdown because he's stuck in some sort of non-existant iCloud account twilight zone. I've tried everything and nothing seems to work, I get nothing from the apple support (thanks Apple! Great customer care by the way!) and no one around me seems to know what to do or what the deal is.
I'm just a simple human being that gets very frustrated when technology doesn't work.
So if anyone out there is really smart and can figure this out and tell me step by step what to do before I set my phone on fire, please help me!
I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Does your phone charge without issues when using the Apple supplied charger?
If it does, the issue is with the Mophie.
If it does not, the issue may be with the iPhone or may simply be a dirty dock connector.
