P6N Diamond ran perfect but now wont post / no display

Like those here I built many a computer in my day using all the right tools and precautions. But this one really has made me mad. I don't have much money, so believe me when I say I saved my pennies...cause I sure did for this rig although nothing special. Enough of the sob story on with the program. I had it running fine...all temps voltages were up to spec and fine. No over clocking what so ever not even the ram. When I would shut the computer down and left it off for more then a few hours it would not post. The D-Bracket leds showed that it was freezing on the ever so wonderful:
"Initializing Video Interface
This will start detecting the CPU clock, checking type of video onboard. Then detect and initialize the video adapter"
So cussing like a sailor I ran through the onslaught of checking every component on and off different settings ect.
I tried:
- Reseting the CMOS
- Removing all peripherials
- Setting the board up outside the case
- Switching graphics cards with known graphics cards
- Swapping the memory
- Starting it with a pin (instead of the case switch)
- Reseating the processor
you name it and I tried it...I read through as many posts as I could....tried the tricks and yet nothing. I'm ready to RMA it...cause I'm past the Newegg 30 days by 9 days.
My system Specs:
-MSI P6N Diamond
-Core 2 Quad Q6600 SLACR (stock speeds)
-2 gig Patriot DDR2 800MHz kit (2 X 1GB) PDC22G6400LLK 2.2v (Stock latency)
-Antec p182 case
-2 SATA Drives (1 maxtor 160 and 1 Seagate 160)
-1 SATA DVD Burner Liteon
-Ultra 500 Watt ATX Power Supply ( SLI Ready) (if you need voltages I'll post)
Thank you for any and all help.

This could be the cause of your problem. Your PSU has two seperate +12V rails that cannot accumulate their power output.
If your video card does not have its own power connector, it may be trapped on one of the two rails together with your quad core and other system devices.
I believe this is a very possible explanation at the moment.
If you are going to try a different PSU, it will be best if you try one that has just one strong +12V rail. Around 30A should be fine. If your system won't boot up a proper PSU, the problem is somewhere else.

Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work. Formerly ran WGM from my 10.6.8 mac (worked perfectly) but now I am at 10.7.5 and must use WGM on the server. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

If I've understood you correctly I've never known this or anything else to take that long? What were you trying to do exactly?

Hi Gavinchick,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Start with these tips if your iPad mini is stuck on "syncing" when you try to back it up:
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
You can find these steps and more information here:

I own an iPod Classic. In iTunes, some podcast videos cant be played on teh iPod, so I set it to convert the video to the right format for the iPod. It used to work perfectly, but now for some reason, it doesnt convert properly! When I play the video, it is just a white screen, but the sound can be heard. Can anyone help??????

Your source video file is probably muxed.
Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Try MPEG Streamclip.

My screen is cracked on my iPhone 5 and it still works perfectly but now, it won't charge. I have two chargers and neither work. Is it my screen that has messed with the charging area?

Probably when you dropped it something inside the phone broke too.

I have an iPhone 4S and a 2012 Honda CRV . The streaming BT music is fine but now suddenly it stopped displaying song info on the screen. It worked for about 10 days and then stopped. Any thoughts?

I think that we all know the answer to this one.
Unfortunatley the device is concidered damaged by water. Apple can do an out of warranty repair which would cost $199. Generally they would just replace the device in this case for the $199.
The alternative is to Purchase a new device.

Used Time Machine to Restore system but now wont recognise original backups

Hello Everyone,
I've had a read through some of the older posts, but I wasn't able to find a answer for my issue.
I've recently restored my system using a Time Machine backup - Everything works wonderfully now, except for Time Machine itself, which is now refusing to use/display my original backups.
I have selected the correct disk, but rather than using the backups on it, it creates a new folder in the Backups.backupdb folder called 'Peter's iMac 2'. I have deleted this new folder several times already.
My actual backups are stored in the 'Peter's iMac' folder.
I can browse my backups using the 'Browse Other time Machine Disks' function, but it does not seem to want to use them as my primary backups.
I do not have the room to hold both my old backups, and a separate new backup.
Does anyone have any idea how I can force/trick/entice Time Machine to accept my old backups?
Thanks everyone.

aussie,
*_Time Machine Always Performs a Full Backup After a Full Restore_*
Actually, this is normal. It's not that any of your hardware has changed, it's that you reinstalled the operating system again. Consider the following according to the KB article below:
*Full Backup After Restore*
Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338]
So even on unchanged hardware, if you reinstall your system software and restore your user data, Time Machine starts anew, and you will not be able to resume backing up with the same history as the previous backups.
While there may be ways to fool/hack Time Machine into recognizing previous backups without performing another full backup, they are likely rather elaborate.
Ultimately, though, in a couple of months, all the effort to preserve old backups may seem pointless. After all, Time Machine will eventually purge away that data anyways as it replaces it with new files.
It may simply be easier to begin a fresh series of backups while saving the previous backups until your satisfied that you have enough history built up. Then delete the old backups.
Hope this clarifies some things.
Cheers!

Appletv worked with old wireless router but now wont with airport extreme

I purchased an appeltv and mac mini in December. Connected everything through my old linksys wireless router and everything worked great.
past weekend I purchased a macbook and so I decided to get an aiport extreme also and keep it all in the family.
well i now have my mini, macbook, printer everythings sharing printers and streamin itunes back and forth....but now my appletv wont sync.
I cant get the appletv to popup in either of my macs itunes.
any ideas???

If the OP has used both routers then this is correct.
I suspect though that the OP has simply swapped out the router for the new extreme. In which case they may need to delete the tv's from the itunes prefs and relink them (the pass code thing). Streaming is initiated from the tv, syncing from itunes, if streaming works and syncing doesn't it may well be that the tv sees the itunes library but itunes doesn't see the tv, or at least doesn't see it as the same device it's linked to.

Was using my iphone 4 camera, phone froze, got it to shut down but now wont turn back on. What can I do?

I was using my iPhone 4, took a picture, the phone froze. Some how got it to shut off, but now it wont turn back on. What should I do?

Hi duckygallery,
If your iPhone will not power on at all, the first thing I would suggest would be to make certain that battery has a sufficient charge. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes, then try turning it on.
See this article -
Charge your iPhone and iPod touch - Apple Support
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device.

Pc booted, but now wont.

Ok
I just got a board today (been after one for ages), a K7N2 Delta ILSR (especially after i built a system for my bud with 1) and proceeded to rip my old system to pieces and installed the new K7N2 in place of my KT3 Ultra 2C.
Powered up, and it took off, not a problem. (at this stage i had reached Windows and hadn't installed all the nForce drivers or took off the Via stuff)
So i shut it down to go into the BIOS and disable all the stuff i didnt need (onboard sound, modem, set AGP apature to 256mb based on the recommended half your system ram size for you aperture size) went thru checking my settings, and it was reading ok.
I saved the info to the cmos and restarted.
it whirred
but my screen didnt come on.
I checked the D Bracket, and its telling me that the system is now hanging at the memory test (only LED 2 is green, rest are red)
So i powered down, whipped out the ram, cleaned it, reseated it (1 stick in slot 1 , 1 in slot 2. RAM is Kingston Infineon 2 x single sided 256 sticks of ddr333 ram) and its the same.
I tried reseating just 1 stick in slot 1 (tried this with both). and i then get 1 long beep, it stops, 5 sec later, 1 long beep. This continues till i shut it down.
I then try both sticks in slots 1 & 2 (both purple's) and again, 2nd LED lit, pc fails to initialise, and the same bios beep occurs.
I open her up again, clear the CMOS and reset it. put the ram back in the original config (1 purple, 1 green) and again, it fails to boot, leaving #2 LED lit but no beeps.
I whipped the board out and put my old KT3 back in, and everything works fine.
SO i rerig with the K7N2, and same problem, wont boot beyond failing the initial memory test.
So far its taken me 4 hrs, and i've swapped boards and such 4 times, tried with just basic rig and still it wont boot past the memory test.
At this time im stumped, as the pc i built for my bud with the same type of board, worked fine with a budget (not sure if its the same kingston infineon stuff, but i got it from Savastore.com/watford in the uk) Yet after this initial boot up when it did work, now it refuses to.
Is it likely that the board has a fault and needs returning? (will be the second K7N2 board i've worked on that needs returnin after less than 6 weeks use, my buds one topped itself after he looked into flashing the bios, tho he didnt actually do it, his died completely a lil while later, wouldnt even power up when switched on. No power light nuthing on the d bracket, was just dead)
Has my adjusting of the AGP apature, disabling the Modem and Audio and setting the first boot display slot to AGP from PCI really killed my board too?

Ok
just tried to set the beast up, and guess what, same as before.
The pc powers up, the D bracket gets to led 2 in the test and the machine hangs (memory problems)
The pc emits 1 long beep, pauses, 1 long beep, pauses........so on and so on, until i switch it off.
The ram is getting the right voltage and *seems* to be working correctly (the GeIL golden dragon pc3200 Ultra dual channel. see links) yet the pc hangs and wont do a thing. I've tried reseting the bios, i've tried remnoving the battery and then replacing it after a period of time (as someone suggested, god know why as it didnt do jack), i've tried various different ram sticks in every possible combination, and still the darn thing refuses to POST (so for all those who keep sayin *give it a clean install*, I CANT DANG IT)
Seems this board shall have to go back to the supplier, and i'll just have to try my luck with something else.
Cant believe i'm having so much trouble from a piece of kit, from a manufacturer whose stuff i have always used
heres the ram i tried last

Itunes let me buy a song, but now wont let me buy anything else. How do I delete the song from my billing receipt so I can start updating my apps again?? PLEASE HELP

I had gotten a gift card with around $20 on it so I decided to buy some songs. I had bought a few, then I bought the last song, and now iTunes wont allow me to update my apps, or let me download any other apps because apparently I have $0 on my card; The weird part about that is it let me keep the song, but wont let me get anything else regardless of the charge. I don't have a credit card myself, so I'm really trying to avoid buying another gift card for one 99 cent song. Does anyone know how to get rid of a song from the billing receipt? I've tried everything!
Thanks
