Problems getting into SETUP

I am having a problem when I first boot up that I cannot get into the Setup. The startup screen comes up, but I cannot go into SETUP by pressing the DEL key. I have read all the trouble shooiting guides I can on here and even seen a couple threads here from others that have had the same problem. But it seems no one came back to say how they fixed the problem.
Below I have listed what I have in the PC. For what I have done so far is that when I get to the screen you see listed below. I press the DELETE key a few times with nothing happening. The PC will finally start beeping with each key press. Since it never tries to go on and boot the OS from the drives I suspect it is hung up trying to do something.
I'm using a P/S2 keyboard. In fact I have used two of them in trying to get this to work, one is new. I have made sure I am using the purple keyboard port to plug them into. I have tried resetting the CMOS. I have tried setting J10 to put it into Safe Mode. Still nothing works. I have disconnected the FDD, I have changed HDD too with no luck. I have checked that everything is in the right place. The HDD goes to J1 and set to the Master plug. The CD-ROM goes to J2 with the plug correct there too. Memory, described below, is in DIMM1 and DIMM3.
What can I do to fix this problem?

I knew as soon as I sent the message someone would correct me about IDE1 and IDE2.
Yes I have now disconnected the drives and I get messages now saying that there are no primary and secondary master and slave drives. Also that the floppy disk fails. Now I just checked and I can go into the BIOS Setup. So it seems before it was stuck checking the drives.

It sounds very very much like the battery. You will need to have it replaced. If you put the failing one in yourself you will need to pay as your Warranty is now void.

Problems getting into rescue mode muvo2

i've had a problem with the sound on this player it was a little quiet for my liking so i want to install the international firmware. Problem is i cant get into rescue mode, my player is fully charged and i was wondering if that is the reason i cant access it should i run the battery down?

Battery level shouldn't affect Rescue Mode. Make sure you follow the procedure exactly for the MuVo? which is: unplug the player from your computer and remove the battery from the player. Press and hold the Menu button while inserting the battery back in the unit. Release the Menu Button. The player will display Recovery Mode in its LCD screen.

I am having problems getting into ICloud and Mail etc from System Preferences. Do I have a virus or malware problem?

A few months ago, I had a problem with my Mail app going offline constantly. Since then, for no apparent reason, that problem has gone away and another has taken its place. Now I cannot get into ICloud or Mail, etc. from my System Preferences on my MacBook Pro. Do I have a virus or malware? Should I immediately take my notebook in for repair or can I wait a couple of weeks until I return home?

Probably not a virus or malware, as both are relatively rare on Macs.
Probably not a hardware problem that requires "repair".
This is probably a software problem that can be fixed with a little thought and routine maintenance maneuvers and troubleshooting.
Here are some basic troubleshooting and maintenance maneuvers:
1. restarting your computer
2. repairing your hard drive When to Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility - For Dummies
3. repairing permissions About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature
4. starting up in safe mode OS X Mountain Lion: Start up in safe mode
5. a test user account Isolating an issue by using another user account
If you are not comfortable with this then you could take it in to your local "geniuses" at the Apple store. You could certainly wait a few weeks. Make sure you have a backup of any important documents that you don't want to lose, first.

Can't get into setup page

I have been using my WRT54G wireless router for a couple years with no problem until my company put a new router/modem (pannaway) in my home. Now I need to enter the settings manually but I have pressed the reset button for more than 30 seconds more than once and have typed in 192.168.1.1 the sign in thing comes up and I leave user name blank and type in admin as password but it says HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required
so now how can I get in to configure manually? I am using windows vista.

You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

I followed the Clear CMOS Ram guidelines but I can't get into Setup!

hey folks, thanks loads for the guildlines in the stickies, I followed the one for removing the battery to clear the CMOS RAM, and when it gets to the point where I press F1 to continue or DELETE to enter SETUP, whichever I press it just takes me to a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner (i think its the _ symbol or the -), and when I reboot I have to repeat the process of the monitor won't come on properly. If I just press DELETE to go into SETUP before the error comes up it does the same thing but theres a thick blue line at the bottom of the screen too.
Any clues?

any help would me so appreciated as i'm at the end of my tether now!
cheers

Hello, thanks all for your reply.
I did notice my card is 2x and technically the board is 4x/8x, I read up on the AGP thing and it seemed very likely that it would work anyway. Am I stupid for thinking that it would work? Why would there be a checksum error because of that though?
Anyway, in answer to the original question I needed to boot from CDROM so I could format and install Windows XP on my hard drive so I entered the setup and changed it to boot from the CDROM first, there was also a section I changed from Manual to Auto - I can't remember specifically what it was for, but they were exactly the same anyway, I think I left it on Auto as that always went for the most stable option and I really wanted to avoid any trouble (ugh!). Either way, like I say it didn't change any settings anyway so I don't see how it could be that.
So I posted on Driverheaven.net here: http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=102308
They suggested I clear CMOS and thats where I am now!
Thanks for the replies, any more ideas?

Keyboard found/working - but can't get into setup in system preferences

Hi,
I've had the Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard (the flat aluminum one) for about a year. It works great, but recently want to see if I could modify some keys.
Wen into System Preferences, clicked "Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard" and it just searches for the keyboard forever, but never finds it.
Weird thing is if I go into bluetooth pref pane keyboard is there and paired, and as I say works fine. I don't know if I can re-map any soft keys / function keys with this keyboard (because I can't get into prefs) but I would like to find out!
TIA...Larry

Hello Larry:
What are you trying to do? You can change KB shortcuts, but you cannot make a "K" key become a "Y" key.

Problems getting Python setup in VS2013 Community

Somehow, whenever I run a simple and trivial "Hello World" python app, VS 2013 Community still asks me to install Python tools when things are already setup as detailed in the documentation. What should I do? I cannot even run an app.

Hello chessmagnet,
Can you clarify the document you mentioned? Is it this one?

Having serious problems getting into my account it's asking the secrurity questions i've tried eveything fromt he forum to reset it. it's not working.

why can't you get tech support! i had to change my password. itunes is telling me my secrurity questions are wrong. can't get the right answer's or anyone to talk to. and i tried a couple of things mentioned in th forum they did not work.

It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

Email Password box stays on, forgot password. How can I get into the setup to reset??

On iPad, the Email Password box appears and will not go away.
We have reset password, but it will not sync.
How can I get into Setup, when the Email Password Box will not go away to allow me to get into setup??

Did you try rebooting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
If that doesn't work and If the email password screen is preventing you from unlocking the iPad ... Meaning that you cannot access the iPad at all ... You will have to restore the device in order to get rid of the passcode. This situation is very similar to being locked out of the iPad because of a forgotten device passcode.

When you have Fast Boot selected, you get into Setup by holding down the F2 key while starting the machine. While you are in the BIOS, you can change the Boot back to Normal. If you were using Windows 7, I could give you another way to change Fast Boot but I don't know whether it would work using Ubuntu. You can try by typing HWSetup in the Start/Search box, hit Enter and select the Boot Setting tab where you can make the change.
