Pavilion g6 updated to windows 8.1 now tv won't display the screen
I cracked the screen of my HP Pavilion g6, so I usually connect it through HDMI to my Coby TV and it usually worked fine. Now, after updating to Windows 8.1, my TV won't display anything. I believe it is because the screen is black, and my TV never displayed a black screen before, it only showed the screen once the laptop has started up. I've tried pressing f4 and i can see that the screen is blue in the small area of my screen that still works, but it still isn't showing through my TV so I don't know how I can fix this problem because I cannot see the screen. Please help!
Hi ke11ie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that after upgrading to Windows 8.1 your external display(CobyTV) is not working. Just to rule out the TV if you connect to a different display does it work?
Here is a link to Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8).
Here is a link to Display Quality Issues, that may also be of aid.
I hope this helps.

I want to stop and prevent my Firefox browser from saving website passwords, which I understand can be done using the Security window.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-and-passwords-settings?esab=a&s=passwords&r=1&as=s
Unfortunately, once opened, the Security window doesn't display the password options check boxes for me even though that's what the support site says the browser should do it. Neither can I get the Security window to extend to display the other potential options, which leads to me think there aren't any other options.
Any ideas what I can do about this problem? I'm running Mac OS 10.8.5 and Firefox 30.0. Thanks for any advice!(The following definitely relevant to Windows, but I'm not sure about Mac)
Another thing Safe Mode does is ignore the localstore.rdf file, which contains toolbar/window/dialog layout information and sometimes can become corrupted. To eliminate localstore.rdf as a factor, you can rename the file and customize from scratch.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (classic menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste '''about:support''' in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button.
Leaving that window open, switch back over to Firefox and Exit/Quit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox up again. Any improvement? -

Just updated itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

User updated to WinXP SP3 and now it does not show login screen
Hi,
I have a user that updated to Windows XP3, that Install and shutdown option, but the user closed the notebook.
Now Windows XP boots but after showing the mouse and the blue wallpaper, the login screen never appears and windows stops there.
The mouse pointer is from windows and it is moving, the hard disk shows no activity, no funny noise, etc.
I think it was a problem with the update. I even have done a Install in place of windows xp sp2 and nothing.
Could it be hardware? Or just windows?
Many thanks
OliverDude! Why did you unistall IE7? I don't know that I've ever heard that being a problem in all the few thousand posts I've read.
My recommendation at his point is to boot in the safe mode and do a restore to a time when you didn't have any problems.
It's going to take some good decisions at this point. Let us know how it goes.
One of the rules is not to make things worse than they are... just to let you know.

HT201365 I updated my phone yesterday and now it won't charge. Is this normal?
I updated my phone yesterday and now it won't charge. Is this normal?
Obviously not charging in not normal.
But iOS 7 checks to make sure that the lighting connector is certified by Apple. All Apple Lightning connectors and most Lightning connectors from recognized third parties are certified. But some third parties shortcut the certification process and these cables may not work with your phone.
If you are not using the original Lightning connector or a connector from Apple try that first. -

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
