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
                                                                                           spacechild

      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.
    On x86 based computers, floopy disks generated by setup for non CD installations are not suitable for installing from CD
    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.

  • How do I associate my iPhone (all my iDevices) with a new computer?

    This question has been asked, but my situation is a bit different.  I have a 4 year old MacBook Pro.  My iPhone (4S), iPod Touch (4th gen), and iPad 3 are all associated with this computer.  I just bought a new Mac Mini and want to associate these three devices with the Mini and "abandon" the MBP (even though I will still be using it for other things).
    I have already transferred ALL the content (Music, Podcasts, iTunes U, Movies, etc.) in my MBP's iTunes library onto my Mac Mini's iTunes library.  They are essentially mirror copies of each other.  I also subscribe to iTunes Match.  So ALL my music is accessible via the Cloud.  I have already turned on iTunes Match with the Mini and downloaded all the songs in my library to the Mini except a small number that I hardly ever play.  I left them in the Cloud.
    Now, my semi-ignorant intuition says I should be able to create a backup of each iDevice "to my MBP" (not to iCloud) and then copy the backup and transfer it to my Mac Mini.  (How I do this I am not sure.  Transfer the backups to an external hard drive and then to my Mac Mini?)   Where are these backups on my MBP anyway?
    Then I thought I could connect my iDevices to my Mac Mini and "Restore from Backup"  (The backup that I transfered from my MBP).  This way my iDevice would come out of this whole process looking just like it was before...more or less.  All my apps would be in the folders I created for them, e-mail accounts would be preserved, etc.
    Or is there something even better...faster.  I mean, the two libraries are exactly the same.  It would be nice if I could just associate the iDevices with the new computer and not have to restore at all.
    OK, I throw myself at the mercy of the court.  I don't dare touch these devices until I am sure I won't totally jank them all up.

    I'm Back.
    With Big Al's help and some trial and error I have succeeded in transferring "ownership" of my 3 iDevices over to my new Mac Mini.  However, as I expected, some "Poop Happened."  However, it was not because of bad advice from the Big Boy.
    Here is a summary for those attempting this in the future.
    1.  I THOUGHT I did a complete recreation of my MBP's iTunes library on my Mac Mini.  Really.  I did.  I used Home Sharing between my MBP and my Mac Mini to import "everything" from the MBP's iTunes library to the Mac Mini.  In almost every respect, that method worked beautifully.  Highly recommended.  What I had forgot is there was one glitch.  It was with a collection of podcasts of Steve Jobs being interviewed by the folks from All Things Digital.  I believe there are 6 video podcasts and one .pdf in the series.  For some reason, there was a problem when I tried to import that particular podcast collection to my Mac Mini.  So, I just bagged the import and went to the iTunes store and download the podcasts and .pdf, fresh and new, from the store.  So, strictly speaking, my Mac Mini Library wasn't EXACTLY the same as my MBP's.
    2.  I then connected my iPod Touch 4G to my Mac MIni to start the process of coverting ownership of that iDevice to the Mini.  Unfortunately, when I was done, there was a problem.  It was that podcast series.  When I went to set up wireless syncing of the iPod Touch I noticed that BOTH my MBP and my Mac Mini were listed under Wireless syncing!  The MBP had podcasts under its name.  The Mini had all other types of iTunes media under its name.  I didn't even know this was possible.  But, I knew this was not good.  In fact, my iPod Touch would still try to connect with my MBP when I open iTunes on the MBP.  It would also connect to my Mac Mini.  This is not suppose to happen!
    3.  So, after some head scratching and messing around, with no luck at resolving the situation, I decided to restore the iPod Touch FROM BACKUP (while my iPod Touch was connected to my Mac Mini...of course).  I first made a full backup of the iPod Touch to my computer then fired away and let the process run its course.
    4.  SUCCESS!  The iPod Touch no longer had and remnants of its former life with the MBP.  Under Wireless Syncing only the Mac Mini now appeared.  I performed the procedure with my iPhone 4S and iPad 3 connected to my Mac Mini.  Totally successful also.  By that point it was 2:00 AM and time to go to bed.
    5.  I don't know if Big Al's advice would have worked if I had not messed with the podcast section of my iTunes library.  But, I suspect it probably would have.  So, my advice is...if you are going to do this, try at all costs to not change a thing when you recreate your iTunes library on your new machine.  Even if it's just a new copy of the same media.
    BTW, the restoring wasn't a total waste of time.  I had accumulated about 7 GB of "other" data on my iPad.  For those of you who are up on this issue, it can be a real problem as it robs your iDevice of its precious, limited memory.  After restoring from backup the "other" data on my iPad had dropped to about 1 GB.  I actually wasn't surprised that this happened as this is one of several workarounds folks have developed to deal with what appears to be a problem iOS 6 has with the management of "other" data.
    Bring on iOS 7!
    Oh!  I forgot.  One more piece of feedback.  Big Al's link also helped me get my iDevices to appear under "Devices" in the left column of the iTunes screen.  In my case, the suggestion from his link that worked was to shut down and restart my computer.

  • My iPod classic 7th Gen  will not sync with my new computer. itunes is installed and updated.

    fellow iPod classic owners,
                                           the problem is a failure to sync with the new computer. the conditions are as follows: the new computer is a pc. it has the latest iTunes software installed. the iPod is installed properly. i'm fully recognized by my iTunes account. there is nothing lacking other than my iPod's refusal to sync with my new computer. what have i left undone? i could be suffering from a duh, but i'm not the only one. nothing in the apple world is as difficult as this one is, at least on the surface. if it were that simple an issue, no one would be having any problems with it. any more information needed can be provided by request. by the way, the computer being used has been authorized. that is a non-issue.
                                                                                                                 your help is appreciated,
                                                                                                                     hardphil.

    I believe the IPOD (Classic) uses USB 2.0,  and my new laptop uses USB 3.0.  I think they are not compatable because of this.  If you find a solution to this please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

  • How do i synch my i phone with a new computer without losing my contacts '

  • I synced with a new computer. Lost apps, reinstalled, had docu in an office2HD app when reinstalled, but will not cut and paste?

    I synced with a new computer, lost apps. Reinstalled and office2HD had all docs still in, but now I can not get the cut and paste feature to work? Also had problems with Gmail account and deleted and created new, so not sure I can download the app a 3rd time?

    Two ways.
    - You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
    Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
    All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
    - Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

  • Syncing applications with a new computer?

    My old computer died, it won't even start up anymore and I want to sync with my new computer. I still have all my music backed up so that isn't a problem, but I can't find out how to sync my phone with my new computer in a way that won't wipe out all the programs I purchased. Now do I reset which computer my phone can sync with so I don't lose all my applications?

    In regards to iTunes content including 3rd party apps, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. When syncing iTunes content with another computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone that was transferred from a different computer will be erased first.
    If you maintain a backup of your iTunes library, all 3rd party apps are stored in your iTunes library, but this will will not prevent all iTunes content on your iPhone from being erased first when syncing iTunes content with a new or different computer.

  • Is iWork 08 compatible with a new computer running OS X Yosemite?

    Is iWork 08 compatible with a new computer running OS X Yosemite?
    I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro 15" that I just installed a new solid state 256g hard drive into last night using OS X Yosemite. I just installed iWork 08 from my original disc and now when I try and open a numbers (excel) file that I had created previously its blank except for the email link I created and the response time is very slow for scrolling or right clicking. Is the problem that iWork 08 isn't compatible with Yosemite? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello
    For Numbers '09 to run smoothly under recent OSes, you need to apply the following updater.
    iWork 9.3
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563
    * If your Numbers '09 is not from iWork '09 DVD, the updater above would not work because the updater assumes supporting libraries are at
    /Library/Application Support/iWork '09
    which is the case with the DVD version of Numbers '09 whereas the MAS (Mac App Store) version of Numbers '09 contains supporting libraries in its own application bundle.
    Hope this helps,
    H
    PS. If you're not using the latest Numbers v3, you may simply delete it from your disk so that it will no longer mess up the files created with older versions of Numbers.

  • Some small problems with my new 3G iPhone

    Having some small problems with my new iPhone, nothing major, just annoying.
    1. When I plug my iPhone in to charge/sync my Adobe photoshop keeps trying to download the photos on my iPhone, which causes an error message from Adobe that it can't download and it stops all syncing and removes my iPhone from iTunes. I have to unplug and reinsert USB cable and sometimes it works ok and sometimes I have to reinsert again. Also when charging, it will disconnect, reconnect and the samething all over again, photoshop trying to get photos and an error message.
    2. Can't send e-mails via 3G? Only can get, have to connected to a WiFi to send e-mails, or is this normal?

    When your iPhone includes photos in the Camera Roll, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer, and whichever app you have selected to import photos will automatically launch to import the photos. If you haven't imported these photos, it is a good idea to do so as with any other digital camera. I import the photos followed by deleting the photos from the iPhone after the import process is complete. If I want any of the imported photos available on my iPhone for viewing, I add the photos to an existing album that is selected to be transferred to my iPhone under the Photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences, or add the photos to a new album followed by selecting the album under the Photos tab followed by a sync.
    If your iPhone's Camera Roll does not include any photos that have not been imported, Adobe Photoshop should not launch automatically when your iPhone is connected.
    I know how to disable the selected application for photo import from launching automatically regardless with a Mac, but not with Windows.
    Regarding the sending email problem, who is the email account provider and does the email account provider have an authenticated SMTP server?
    Most ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection unless the SMTP server is authenticated. When connected to the internet via AT&T's cellular network, it is no different in this regard. AT&T's SMTP server is included and available by default for use with an email account that does not have an authenticated SMTP server when connected to the internet via AT&T's cellular network, but you probably won't be able to use this SMTP server for sending messages with the account when connected to the internet with your ISP via an available wi-fi network - especially if the email account is provided by your ISP.
    I access two email accounts with the iPhone's mail client and both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server. I've never had any problems sending with either account regardless the ISP being used for an available wi-fi network, or when connected via AT&T's cellular network.

  • I have a problem with my new Apple Air. It usually takes few seconds for the laptop to be untouched in order to be locked. So sometimes when the screen starts to get dim in order to lock, I immediately touch the keypad to avoid locking the laptop

    I have a problem with my new Apple Air. It usually takes few seconds for the laptop to be untouched in order to be locked. So, sometimes when the screen starts to get dim in order to lock, I immediately touch the keypad to avoid locking the laptop, the result is a black screen appears with no responding to anything from pressing the keyboard to pressing the touchpad. It takes few minutes for the laptop to open again and then a message appears saying that there was a problem with the lock security.
    What is happening exactly?

    It sounds like your sleep timers are set to too low of a value.  Go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver and set both timers to longer times.  The computer sleep timer should be a longer time than the display sleep timer.
