Ipod to Dell Inspiron 6400 problems

Hello
I am trying to connect my 4th gen Ipod to my new Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop and connecting it just makes the pc become very slow. If i wait long enough (an hour or so) it'll come up with Itunes which says the ipod needs formatting, but then crashes as it loads the ipod updater. The Ipod will still work with my old desktop but i want to transfer it to the laptop.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I spoke with Dell and they said i needed to get a fix from Apple, but i can't seem to find anything on the website.
Any help would be appreciated

How do I wake up Dell Inspiron 6400 after closing the lid? [SOLVED]

I'm running Arch on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (same as Inspiron e1505). When I close the top to an angle of less than about 30 degrees, the machine goes into some kind of sleep state and Arch is suspended (black screen, no response to anything). It may be easy to wake up Windows from such a condition but what must I do get Arch back and working, short of having to reboot?

RobF, it's hard to say, without knowing what your setup is... GNOME, KDE? Any power management software installed such as Powersaved or hibernation scripts?
If you're still having troubles with it, check out the Inspiron 6400 wiki I've been working on. It includes step-by-step instructions on setting up hibernation/suspend features and I can verify it works on my own 6400.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Inspiron_6400
I'm using KDE, and I haven't specifically installed any power management software aside from what came with the Arch base install and KDE.
I went through your Dell Inspiron 6400 Wiki (great work! I'll add to it) and installed acpid and powersave and hoped to install kpowersave or kpowersave-devel but neither of these will compile. kpowersave requires unsermake-svn but unsermake-svn will not compile because of the error: "unsermake-svn is not available for the 'i686' architecture," and: "Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('i686')." So much about that.
Trying to build the package kpowersave-devel also aborts with the error:
Checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0) (headers an ..... r installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
So much about that.
About kpowersave-devel, srabd commented a month ago: "It doesn't compile now, but compiles if you use unsermake instead of make in the two final lines." Wonderful! But as I reported above, "unsermake-svn is not available for the 'i686' architecture."
I seem to be stuck. Any ideas how I can get around this?

Problem while installing solaris 10 on HP proliant DL 380 G5.

Hi,
facing problem while installing solaris 10 05/09 on HP proliant DL 380G5. The array controller is E200.
i have installed the raid controller driver CPQary3-2.1.0-solaris10-i386, it is going ahead but not detecting the whole hard disk space. My hard disk space is SAS 146GB. There are two 146GB hard disk present. It is showing only 978 MB & only one hard disk. So please help me out. my mail ID is [email protected]

I have a similar issue trying to load Solaris 10u4 on an IBM x236.
I had to put in a recognized SCSI card, attach an external array to the card, and install Solaris 10u4 on the array. Then I had to install the correct driver from OpenSolaris (an Adaptec one for IBM ServeRAID), and do a live upgrade onto the now-visible internal disks. Then I removed the array and cleaned up the traces from the live upgrade.
You may have to do something similar.
And last month the boot drive got corrupted when power was interrupted. "Oops. Wrong plugs..." This time the external array will stay connected.

[Solved]No Ethernet or Wireless to work on Dell Inspiron 6400 E1505.

The Dell Inspiron 6400 E1505 wiki says ethernet should work out of box. It is not. I am trying to install wireless drivers. I checked fw-cutter during installation but i guess i have to install broadcom-wl along with it. Make command is not found (probably not installed) How can get ethernet connection to work?
Thanks.

Problem when installing Solaris 10

I've read that there is a post with the same problem I have, but I found no solution there.
So I made this tread, hoping someone willing to help me.
OK, here is the story...
I have tried several times to install Solaris 10, from DVD to my laptop Dell Latitude C400.
(I've run the hardware compatibilty check routine, and it's OK except the video card)
After I made the partition, then rebooted using the DVD and the Solaris seems to load normally.
It apperas the Grub menu, then I choosed Solaris option.
But after that it just stops on a screen that says:
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_118844-26 32-bit
Copyright 1983-2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
And it just hangs, nothing more...
Any idea what should I do to install Solaris successfully...???
Thanks in advance

Hi Darren,
Thanks God I've succesfully installed Solaris 10 to my laptop, after "swimming" for a while in google :)
It said that this was a bug of Solaris 10 when installed in PC with Pentium III or II processors.
Here is the solutions (hope someone with same problem with me could find it useful) :
1. After the GRUB menu appears, edit the kernel line then append -kd at the end (to enter kmdb upon boot), then boot
2. Then type this command when kmdb prompt shows, [0]>
[0]> cmi_no_init/W1
[0]> :c 3. It should boot and run without problem, then follow the installation menu and option
4. After reboot, again follow step 1 & 2 when GRUB menu shows. I promise this is the last time :)
5. To make it permanent, add this following instruction to */etc/system* once the system up
set cmi_no_init=1//Henry

Duplicate instances of Itunes after install on my Dell Inspiron N7010

I attempted to download and install the latest ITunes 64 bit on my Dell Inspiron N7010 with Windows 7. The download is fine, but once installed, ITunes appears to write over my existing applications on my desktop, replaces the applications with the ITunes icon and if you click on each my ITunes library will display. Example, I had Adobe Acrobat on my desktop, once Itunes was downloaded and installed, the adobe icon is replaced with the Itunes icon and if you click on it, my Itunes library displays. I have a desktop folder with documents and images that was not written over. I have a shortcut to Roxio that was not written over. Microsoft Office was not written over. I downloaded and installed ITunes (not 64 bit) on another Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop (an older laptop with Windows Vista) with success. I checked settings on both and they appear to be identical. I also have a menu across the top of my desktop that is docked with a explorer icon and other accessories that was not affected by the install. Can someone help me with this? I have installed and uninstalled Itunes about 10 times, checking settings and each time I get the same problem. Thanks.

Please help me solve this problem, Thanks in advance .....
Thanks,

hi;
I faced that problem when I was a beginner on solaris as you were. I tried to install solaris to my windows installed x86 based PC. in my fisrst few attempts ý always saw that message, afterwards somehow I managed to install solaris to my PC but this time windows failed.I think that is because of the inconsistencies between those OS but if you need to install solaris you can use VM ware workstation with this software you can use both OS without problems.

OS X install on a Dell Inspiron 9400

Hi all,
I have recently bought a Dell Inspiron 9400 for music production (Ableton etc). Due to the way XP assigns IRQs I am having a lot of trouble.
Is it possible to buy OS X and install it on my Dell as I know this would fix my problem. Dell do not have drivers list at present. Does anyone know if this will change?
Many thanks in advance.
Aaron

Aaron,
Please read the terms of use on the right about rumored products. I think you will find the answer to your question can not be posted.
I suggest selling your Dell, and getting a Mac. It can run both XP and Mac OS X on the same machine. Only Macs can do that. There are numerous solutions for running XP on a Mac on my FAQ:

Strange problems after installing Solaris 10 u6 on 64-bit PC

Hi all,
I have run into some very strange issues after installing Solaris 10 update 6 on my 64-bit PC (it's almost new). The problems are with graphical applications and desktop environments based on GTK (so it seems, at least).
I have installed Solaris normally, following most of the default options and choosing the "Entire Group" software packages installation. However, after the first login I've seen that:
1. No user creation process was offered to me and I had to login as root (I find it pretty strange)
2. After logging in as root into JDK system, my screen went blank for a couple of seconds and then the system threw me back to the login screen.
3. Logging into the old CDE environment was possible, but launching Firefox from there (using a command line terminal) wasn't. It gave me the following error message:
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: libmlib.so.2: open failed: no such file or directory
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/bin/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol gtk_init: referenced symbol not found.
It's very strange because GTK toolkit and JDK environment are supposed to be the core functionalities provided by Solaris. Does anyone have an idea what's going on?
My system sum-up:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quand Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz
RAM: 2 Gb of DDR2 SDRAM
Motherboard: MSI MS-7529 (Intel G31 chipset)
Monitor: AOC LM725
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Hard disk: 2 Western Digital HDs (SATA) 320 Gb each,
1 Western Digital external USB HD MyBook Essential 2, 500 Gb
DVD drives: 2 LG DVD drives (SATA)
Network card: Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
I use my system in the following way:
On the first hard disk, I have a one-partition 32-bit Windows XP SP3 installation (ported from my old computer).
On the second hard disk, I have a functioning Fedora Core 9 installed on the first half of the disk's space (the installation is self-organized into several Linux partitions, e. g. /boot, /swap etc; I am a newbie so I don't know too much about Linux partitioning - only specified to Fedora how much space it could use for its volume group). I installed Solaris onto the second half of the second disk.
It has be noted that my USB external drive seemed to conflict with the network or graphics cards during the Fedora installation and caused it to hang sporadically, so I installed Fedora with this disk detached. I also detached it when I was installing Solaris, though it seems to have not influenced the problems I experienced. I also have attempted installing Solaris before I did so with Fedora, but had the same issues.

Well, it seems that the cause of the problem was that my DVD image was just corrupted - I didn't check it vs MD5 codes supplied by Sun assuming it went automatically OK. I downloaded the image again (this time it was OK), reinstalled the system and successfully logged into JDS. However, I am still puzzled why Solaris doesn't offer to create a default non-root user during the installation process.

Problem of installing solaris 8

I got the following warning message when I install Solaris 8(Intel x86) on
my PC(Abit KT7 motherboard, AMD Duron 650 CPU, NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64
display adapter) from bootable CD-ROM.
Determing bus types and gathering hardware configuration data...
Warning: Resource Conflict- both devices are added
Non-ACPI device: PNP0C01

9FC00-9FFFF, 40F0000-1FFEFFFF, FEE00000-FEE00FFF
Then I ignore the message, press ENTER key to continue. Everything seems ok, but when it boot the SunOs(even not begin to install), it restart
my computer without any prompts. I try to install it again, but the same
restart happened again .
I think the problem maybe result from the motherboard or display adapter.
Could you tell me how to resolve it?
my email: [email protected] I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Charles Mao

I am having the same problem with an ASUS K7M and Athlon 550, but only after I fixed(!) the conflicting addresses in the Windows device manager. Win95 had also reported the same conflicting addresses before but I fixed it by deleting the PnP device and rebooting - Windows assigned new non-conflicting addresses. Solaris boot was still showing the conflict but now also crashed as you described.
