Problems booting my new computer

Hello!
I have a real newbie problem that I hope someone could help me with. I have just started up my new computer with P4M890M mothercard but all I get is the message "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". I was equipped with a CD "drivers and utilities" from MSI but somehow the computer cannot read it. I have tried to access the BIOS setup to see if it maybe is looking for a floppy (with TAB during start up) but even that does not work.
Could someone please help me?

Thanks for your help!!
I have set the SATA as RAID and enabled SATA BIOS Execute but all it does is giving me the messages "media test failure " and "exiting intel PXE ROM" followed by the same old boot message. I also get the message that I shouldn´t use PROM creation operation if I install LINUX partion RAID driver.
What am I doing wrong here?

Problem printing with new computer

Hello...
I have a new iMac (10.7.3) that I'm using with my older printer...Brother MFC 8440. I downloaded and installed the latest driver for 10.7. However, when I hooked up the printer via USB it did not see the printer, therefore, I can't print. I used the same cord on my old computer and it recognized it. Is there something different about the USB connection on the new computer?
Thanks...

Maybe resetting the printing system will help:
System Preferences>Print & Scan, control+click or right click on a printer on the left (or in the white space where they would normally be listed) and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.
Are these the latest drivers you downloaded and installed from the Apple site? Brother Printer Drivers 2.8.1

Problems with my new computer

I got my computer less then a month ago and its been working fine until a couple days ago.. the only upgrade i did was right in the beginning and I added a gig of memory. I have been using the computer for internet and gaming.. I have been playing Call of Duty 2 with no problems since I got the computer and I got an error a couple days ago during gameplay which caused everything to quit working including my dock.. I re-installed osx and still the game would not work and kept giving me the same problems.. I called mac.. they helped me delete my drive and re install again... I played the game fine for a few minuts.. and then it gave me the error.. I was able to restart the game and when i zoom in with the scope on the gun.. the picture quality gets really crappy.. Then I tried playing quake 4 and it froze the computer.. I ran the disk utility and it was fine so I ran the hardware tester and it gave me the error... 4MEM/1/40000000: 0x5df44c10 and I have no idea what to do? i'm new to mac so I dont know anything about them.. and I guess the phone lines are not always open.. anyone ever had a similar issue? thanks..

yeah, I grounded it and everything.. it worked fine for a little under a month.. so I don't know what the problem was with it, but its not giving me hardware errors after I took it out.. I bought it online.. so i'm going to have to check and see what the warrenty is on it.. I paid half of what apple charges.. guess you get what you pay for lol.

More Problems with my new computer

Well I'm beginning to think this new machine is acting very much like what happened back in 1996-97 when I rebuilt a Packard Bell Legend 1956 only to have the computer croak better than either a frog or my cartoon namesake on "South Park" because the recovery disk didn't recognize the new componentry.
after I thought I revived it with this forum's assistance. after 5 days it started acting up with "turn off computer" icon going AWOL. since I didn't have a backup I went to system restore which promptly froze midway thru the process.
so what I did was to take out my Digital Lifeguard software and try and reconfigure the I:\ drive to a C:\
eventually it said that Windows couldn't start because it needed a pci driver.
so on July 5th a technician showed up & it came back.
now on the 11th when I started it up. & changed the secondary drive to a C:\
so now I figured why not reformat the I:\ & and put XP Pro on the C:\ so my programs won't start a revolt
especially since I only had 1 day left before activation.
Now the computer is in an infinite loop saying that Windows cannot install because the hard drives are not available to install the temp files.
by thw way the chip head was wondering why both of the optical drives were on the master cable & the HD's were on the slave. he also warned me that this computer's configuration was problemaic and I will have errors.
I wanted this type of computer because I wanted to know what was the differences between an OEM & a custom built especially since they recovered quite differently as well.
In retrospect, I think I would've did much better with another OEM because I would've had recovery CD's/DVD's
and for 1 year tech support would've help me thru the transition from the old one to the new.
I've been reading the manual to this motherboard trying to figure out how to not send this computer into orbit along with the shuttle! & wasting $1600. so far nary a clue could be discerned.
the builder says that I shouldn't of tinkered with it and run the computer as he built it but the way I see it 1. If I didn't tinkered I would not be advancing my computing frontiers. 2. I would be a hostage to the builder & that is unacceptable because I would rather try & solve this myself than either pay good money waiting for somebody to fix it.
Thanks yet again

PS. as far as the registration goes I guess I'm screwed yet again because of no receipt but this reinforces my point about being dependent on somebody else.
I appreciate very much all the efforts you've done for me as far as this computer goes

To Maesus, Emperor & Blazer:I have the MSI 925XE Neo Platinum 54g
& I plan to use both of the Hard Drives meaning RAID 0.
and the 11-1 card reader is an ATF Pro 9 model
in addition my Power supply is a 450 watt Xion model with 18 Amps at +12v
if that further helps you.
Last night when I attempted to solve this I got this at the end of the startup process
"Windows XP Professional Setup"
"Windows cannot find the temporary installation files"
"The Hard Drive on which Setup placed temporary files is not currently available to Windows XP.
You may need a manufacturer supplied device driver or you may need to run setup again and select a drive that is compatible with Windows XP for the temporary installation files.
See your Windows XP documentation for more information.

Setup cannot continue. To quit press F3
then a 2nd screen with a red progress meter appears saying that the computer will reboot in 15 seconds then it reboots with the same message going in an infinite loop.
what does this mean?
also I think one of the reasons why I'm having this problem is that not only are the two optical drives are are on the Primary Master & Slave channel
but the BIOS indicates that there are 3 more Master\Slave channels as well and the HD's are on the 3rd one
again I truly appreciate this forum trying to be the Tech support that I'm not getting with the builder.
I'm truly sorry about this as well but at least I'm learning in the same way that I did with the other computers I've had since 1994.

5si/mx LaserJet problems connecting to new computer

I have a LaserJet 5si/mx with a JetDirect 10Base-T card connected through a router. I am trying to connect it to a new iMac, but the computer won't see it. My internet connection is through the same router and it works. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help.

Of course there is a USB connector for the ipod mini! http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=7E4 EB91E&nplm=MA591G/A . That will take you to the apple website where you can purchase the cord. I don't know why it dosent list the ipod mini under the compatible list maybe because its a bti older but thats the same cord i got with my ipod touch and it works with my mini aswell.

More new computer problems

In addition to the problems with my new computer, when I plug my iPod into my old computer, it will not let me access the songs I have downloaded recently, saying that the machine is not authorized even though that was the machine that I used to download them. How can I correct this?

Transferring Photos to a New Computer

I just bought a new computer and I want to transfer photos from my old computer. There are many projects and albums from my aperture library I want to transfer over, however not all of them, so I don't want to transfer the whole library. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks!

You can export a part of your Aperture library a s a new library and then use that library on your new computer.
It wil help to avoid permission problems to be using exacly the same user name on both macs. Have you set up your macs to use the same account names?
How can you transfer files between your machines? Do both your macs have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports? Then connect them with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable and boot your new computer in Target Mode - this way your old Mac will see the new Mac as an external disk. See: OS X Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
Or simply connect an external disk or thumbsdrive to your old mac (formatted MacOS X Extended Journaled and with the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag enabled). Then export a partial library to that disk. I would not use the network, to avoid transmission errors., unless your library is small.
To export only the projects and albums that you want to transfer:
To be sure not to transfer any potential library corruption, repair the permisions and repair the database before you proceed, see: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Select all projects and albums at the same time in the library Inspector panel. You may want to create a folder and collect all items there that you want to export; then select this folder.
Now use the command "File > Export> Library" to export the folder with images as a new Aperture library to the external drive or directly to the new computer, if you used Target Disk Mode.
If your libary is managed and all original files are included, you are done, but otherwise, you will need to copy the original files as well. Then open the copied library in Aperture - still on your old mac, and select all referenced images. Use the command "File > Consolidate images" and chose to copy (not move) the referenced files into the Aperture library.
Now test the copied library, if it is working well, and if it is on an external drive, dismount/eject the drive and connect it to your new mac. Copy the library from the external drive to your new mac by dragging it in the Fider.
On your new mac launch Aperture with the ⎇⌘-key held down, while double-clicking the new Aperture library and select "Repair Permissions" from the First Aid panel, to make you the owner of all items in the library.
Post back, if there are any problems with this procedure. Good luck.

Help! New Computer

I am somewhat new to IPod & have a problem with my new computer.
I haev recently bought a new PC as my old one died quite spectacularly without a back up of teh ITunes Library. I want to transfer the IPod songs to the new Vista computer, but I have no idea how to do this.
Someone suggested music rescue, but we are having trouble with that. Surely ITunes has a recovery system in place somewhere
Can anyone help me as I do not relish the thought of transferring all my stuff onto the IPod once again!
thank you to anyone with info!!!

*Surely ITunes has a recovery system in place somewhere*
Yes, but you chose not to use it (for some reason).

How can I get DW to access my site frommy new computer?

I was using DW MX (yes!) successfully from my old computer (XP). But I have problems with the new computer (Windows 7). I transferred the copy of the site from the old computer to the new, installed DW, defined the site, tested the connection to the site successfully. When I make a change to the local copy of a page, save it, and Put it, DW says it has Put the file, but the web page doesn't update (after several attempts and refreshes). Can anybody help, please?

*MUST READ!!!* HOW NOT TO ERASE YOUR FILES WHEN SYNCING ON A NEW COMPUTER

Oh my GOD!! This is the biggest breakthrough since the discovery of fire.
Ever have a time when you had to erase ALL your files on your ipod/iphone/ipad because you are changing computers or your computer was destroyed?
There is a solution.
****This is needed by ONLY those who was syncing with the itunes on AT LEAST one category.(ex : music, video, app, books, pictures...) on the previous computer you were using.
If you had not synced with itunes on NO categories at all, and were doing EVERYTHING manually, you will not have any problems on a new computer, so you do not need this information.
Also, the ones who are trying to sync automatically(Seriously? you want to do that?) with itunes will not need this post. Do not read further.
So... the ones who are still reading are, 1. Have synced with itunes on at least one category. In my case, I was auto-syncing the application. 2. Have experienced enough frustration with itunes, therefore NOT thinking about syncing with itunes automatically.
ok. here it goes. When you go to a new computer, CHECK 'manage musics and videos manually'. And other categories(apps, pictures) should NOT be checked 'sync with itunes'. However, when you click apply, it will not work and require you to erase everything on your phone, even though you have pressed manage musics and videos manually. What I am saying is, even if you want to manage it manually, when you connect with a new computer, it will erase all of your data just for fun. Anyway, What you should do when this happens is, click yes. Then, itunes will start to erase all your precious info.
This is tricky now. 0.2 seconds after you click yes(yes, I will erase all my previous info), PULL OUT the usb cable!! HEH....
Then, when you put it back in, your iphone data will not have been erased, and the computer thinks that it erased all your files, and will give in to your command and follow your orders. Now you can manually manage your iphone on a new computer without erasing everything.
I am so happy now.
***Disclaimer*** I will not take any responsiblitiy of the happiness caused by this post. Also, I will not take any responsiblity for any data-corruption or any other problems caused by implementing this method, although I am quite confident that as long as you don't take more than 2 seconds to pull the usb cable out after you pressed 'yes, i will erase', it will be okay.
P.S. If your life became better by this post, please say something below. Heh. Have a nice day.
P.P.S. Apple. Why do you erase everything on the phone when we decide to no longer sync with itunes? Is it THAT hard to make the option to let the user decide whether to erase the existing data on the phone?
P.P.S. Just a joke, but, I have once heard that the reason itunes is a memory hogger and take up so much space though it has really few options is because the programmer of itunes copied and pasted the source code 1000000 times.

Step 1. Backup your library regularly.
Step 2. After rebuilding/changing computers restore the backup.

How do I copy a disk image off of a drobo onto a new computer?

I have a disk image of a bootable drive saved on my Drobo. I would like to copy this image onto a computer. What is going to be the best way to do this? Will the Snow Leopard installer allow you to simply copy a disk image onto the boot drive? Should I boot the new computer up in target mode and copy the image over somehow? Any suggestions would be welcome

Then, I surmise that the image is corrupted. If it was made from one of those MBs, then it's easier and faster to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to just put a copy of the good one onto the other one and eliminate mucking with Disk Utility.

How do I migrate premiere elements 12 to a new computer

How do i migrate premiere elements 12 to a new computer.

What is the computer systems are involved in your question? Windows to Windows, Windows to Mac, Mac to Windows, Mac to Mac?
What is your intent...Premiere Elements on both computers or just the new one.
Major consideration is Adobe allowing the activated purchased serial number for a given version on no more than 2 of your computers. Remember there is a difference between Deactivate and uninstall. You deactivate first and then uninstall if you want to keep the activated purchased serial number per version count to 2.
If you are planning on opening Premiere Elements 12 Windows projects in Windows computer 1 in Premiere Elements 12 Windows on Windows computer 2, then certain factors need to be considered so that you do not end up with serious media disconnect problems on the new computer. Best use Project Archiver Copy Project Option and transfer of the resulting Copied Folder (via USB Flash Drive) to the second computer. The following will give you some ideas about the consideration involved....
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Archiving Projects With Disc Menus
Remember that you cannot open Premiere Elements 12 Windows projects in Premiere Elements 12 Mac and Premiere Elements 12 Mac projects in Premiere Elements 12 Windows.
The answers to the above will allow us to customize a Premiere Elements answer to your Premiere Elements question.
Thank you.

Moving ps from old computer hard drive OS XP to new computer OS WIn7

Please see the attached doc file. If I have not posted this in the right place please advise me as to it has been posted
Thank you.

The doc was clean, but the OP should have copied and pasted the contents, they are very short: This is the content
I have purchase a new computer with Windows 7 for the operating system. I have the old computer’s hard drive which I plan to connect up to the new computer as an external hard drive. The old computer’s OS is Windows XP. Photoshop V6 and updated to Photoshop CS2 are properly installed on the old computer’s hard drive. How do I go about moving / transferring Photoshop to the new computer from the hard drive of the old computer? Due to OS installation problems on the new computer I have lost the 2nd install of PS v6 from the install CD, also there is a 30 trial of PS CS2 on the hard drive of the new computer. I have the installation CDs and key numbers for both v6 and CS2. Also see TS case 181364257. Would software such as “Magical Jelly Bean “be of any use in making this transfer?
The answer is, you should have deactivated CS2 and then re-installed on the new computer. It appears you did not, so phone Adobe Customer Service to have the activations re-set.
