Old compaq need help

I recently required an old compaq presario 5310US desktop. Yes it's old but it's stable. I tried installing arch on it last night but i failed. I don't know which graphics driver i should install on this old machine. I know for sure it doesn't have nvidia or ati. I think it has some sort of intel but i don't know. here is the official hp write-up on it. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu … duct=93197
any help will be appreciated.

byte wrote:I always find everything I need on the Compaq/HP site, their docs are excellent. So three mouseclicks from the link you provided I found this, which leads me to believe you should install xf86-video-i810.
are you sure about this. what makes you believe that it's the i810 and not just the intel one?

  • Old Geezer needs HELP.  clicking on and off and on and off

    I have an ipod classic 80. It keeps clicking on and off and on and off. The little apple logo pops up on the screen when it comes on but then it shuts off again. I hear a faint "clicking" noise when it powers off. I tried pushing menu and select buttons and nothing happens. I'm old, aggravated, and sad. Please help the elderly !

    I sent the following to someone else a few minutes ago. It may help you also:
    Plug the iPod into your computer. Go to iTunes. Click on the iPod icon in the sidebar of iTunes. Click on the Summary tab. Click on the restore button. This will delete everything from your iPod, so you will have to re-sync all movies, music, pictures, contacts and anything else you have on it. If you are using the disk-mode option, it will wipe all this data too, so be sure to back these files up before you embark on the restore procedure. This is all assuming that the iPod will mount and the clicking noise isn't what I think it may be; A failed hard drive.
    If none of this works, and the hard drive has failed rather than the iPod just needing to be restored then it is almost certainly still under warranty (the 80gb Classic has only been around since last September so I think you qualify for repair).
    And you can always work your way through the Apple hints at the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    If this doesn't resolve the problem, you should probably get in touch with Apple Support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Good luck
    From another slightly old geezer...

    I got a new ipod nano 3rd gen. but it wont let me take all of my old songs from my old ipod(nano 1st gen) and put them on my new one! I dont want to lose my songs so PLEASE HELP!!

  • OLD MacBook - need help!  Clueless

    I have an old MacBook - I believe it is a 2008.  It still works great, except I believe I need to upgrade my operating system.  All of the websites I keep going on are telling me that they don't support the browser I'm using (Safari 5.0?).  When I try to update the browser, it says my operating system needs to be upgraded... and I cannot figure out how to do that.  I tried to install Google Chrome after that and it said it was not compatible with this version of MAC OS X. 
    I don't need Google Chrome necessarily, just want to be able to update the operating system and browser on this MacBook.  Help!
    Current Info: Mac OS X version 10.5.8. 
    I've gone under "Software Update" on the apple menu and it says there are no updates at this time... clearly there are!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Trying to avoid a trip to the Apple store.  Thank you so much!

    OK I'm doing this again since someone flagged my post but only the second one was erroneous.
    The first one was to send you to Apple's site:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Where a download of Snow Leopard will cost you $19.99. (Is that ok?)
    Your MacBook (2008?) can run Snow Leopard 10.6  and 10.7 for sure. The last version in that year will run 10.8.

  • Resurrecting old Satellite - need help

    I needed a serial port for a car diagnostics machine so I am trying to resurrect my son's old Satellite. 
    The hard drive is bad - I hear it working and then get an error for hard drive password. I bought a replacement IDE HDD and of course then need to use the recovery CDs.  First problem is I kept getting a media error, check cable, PXE 61 or something like that.  I disabled the internal LAN, set boot to FDD, CD, LAN, HDD and now get "Insert System Disk in drive, press key when ready". I hear the DVD spin up so it's at least half alive - but no joy.  I put a old DOS boot FDD in FDD and can boot to DOS from floppy.  I don't have DVD driver for DVD so can't verify whether DVD is working.
    Which leads to the most frustrating problem..  I wanted to find device driver for DVD to check if it's good - but...
    I can't find a model number - the tag is worn smooth. I can't, of course, query OS because it's gone. I took picture of laptop - if anyone knows what model it is - I'd appreciate it!
    Also - any gotchas, clues on why I can't boot from DVD w/ brand new HDD - I'd appreciate that too.

    First thing we need to know in resurrecting you old laptop;
    How LONG has it been since you have had it actually running?
    If you have had it off for a long period of time, it would be a good idea to replace the CMOS battery.
    A low CMOS battery can cause all kinds of issues.
    The second thing is to check on the BIOS version, it may need to be updated.
    The third thing is to check the connectivity of each of your port connectors, USB, serial and so on.
    Once you have these items completed, then you can go back and reset your BIOS  to boot from DVD and it should work.
    Let us know the results.

  • Old iPhone3 - need help getting photos off of it

    I have an old iPhone3 that has been decommissioned, so it does not have cell service but can access email via wireless network. It has photos that I want to save off of it on to my computer. My computer via USB, does not see it but iTunes does. It has an old iOS on it so it keeps wanting to update the iOS. I tried backing it up but it does not seem to back up anything as it takes less than 5 seconds to back up 14 gig of music and photos. When I tried to use the back up file to transfer the photos, the file was empty.
    How do I get my photos?
    I don't want to sync and lose all of those photos because I get the warning that it will lose everything. So how do I get my computer to see the photos? The computer does not give me an auto-start option to configure in the settings because it does not SEE the phone as existing.

    Are the photos in your camera roll or your photo library? photos in the photo library album where already synced and have to be unsunc they cannot be deleted. photos in your camera roll can be imported. if your using a windows computer connect to the computer and clickimprot pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard in the autoplay box. if autoplay doesn't pop up u can go to my computer and right click on your device and select improt pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard.
    aperature or iphoto can be used with OSX
    also your phone does not need to be recognized by itunes to import pictures.  If your computer as well does not recognize your phone that is a different story

    The MacBook 5,2 is a 2009 MacBook "Core 2 Duo" as shown here:
    http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=MacBook5,2
    Good news:  That model is capable of running the current release of OS X which is Mountain Lion!  See:
    System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
    To update to Mountain Lion, you need at least OS X version 10.6.8, I believe.  I'm sorry, but I don't know exactly how to procure that particular version.  I do think you can get it at an Apple Retail Store if you live near one.

  • All of .Mac Mail is gone, BUT I have a 24hr old Backup, need help!

    I've been reading here for the past few hours about Mail disappearing and whatnot.
    This is my .Mac Mail that just vanished, the inbox is empty, although the sent items is still all there.
    I make daily backups of the hard drive using Super Duper. One backup is just a Carbon Copy of the Drive, and the other is a compounded backup, so only new files are added, no files deleted.
    I found roughly 340 *.emlx files on my daily backup drive. They are in:
    User/Library/Mail/Mac-username/INBOX.imapbox/Messages.
    How do I get those files into my Mail Application so that I can have all of my Mail back....?
    I am currently scanning using FileSalvage which has found my lost email files. But I don't see the point of paying for the software knowing that I have the actual files.
    Please help, Thank you!!!

    This starts along the same lines as Ernie's suggestion.
    1) in Mail, create a folder: I called mine .Mac Mail Backup
    2) quit Mail.
    3) Stay offline, turn-off airport, unplug ethernet depending on your connection type.
    4) copy all of the .emlx files to your inbox
    5) delete the Envelope.Index file
    6) Open Mail, it will rebuild.
    7) Now all of your email should be in your Inbox folder.
    8) Move them all to the folder you created.
    9) go online to your .Mac, let mail go online too, it will compare its index versus .Mac and wipe everything in your inbox, that's ok.
    10) in .Mac Mail page, create a folder called Transfer, or Rubby Ducky, anything you want.
    11) this folder should now appear in Mail. if it doesn't just restart the application.
    12) Drag your Backup Mail into your Transfer folder. It will upload to .Mac.
    13) in .Mac mail, you can then transfer all your mail from Transfer to Inbox and you are done. Mail will sync again and all your messages will reappear as they were before.
    Hope this helps, and sorry for having so many steps, this is what i ended up doing until 4 am last night.
    Good Luck!
    p.s. for daily backups I am using Super Duper! It's after this incident, it has paid for itself.

  • New Hard Drive on old iMac - need help getting Admin rights

    My iMac hard drive finally crashed & I had to get a new one. The Apple Store did great at saving my files & programs, but I didn't know there had been a password set up originally (more than one person used this computer) and now I can't use some of my software already installed.  It also won't allow me to re-install it, without a password.
    How do I change my Administrator Password in order to enable me to install new photo software?  The system won't allow me to use some of my own programs at this point.  I have OS X Lion and the Support information claims I can go to Users & Groups and just click on my Apple ID somehow, but I can't get it unlocked to begin with.  What do I do??
