Problems with set up disc after upgrading hard drive

I am having problems starting up my Macbook after upgrading the hard drive from 80GB to 160GB. The new hd is SATA, a WDScorpio. The pins on the end look the same, and I've had no problem with the physical install. When I go to start up the Macbook, I get a gray screen and the "flashing manila file w/a question mark" icon. I load the disc while holding down the "C" key, and all that happens is the disc gets ejected. What am I doing wrong? I also have my hd backed up w/time machine in an external hd. Any ideas?

Turns out, my problem is a malfunctioning optical drive. My Macbook couldn't read the set up disc. This is the second time in a week that I have had this Macbook into the apple store for warranty repair work. Last week, It was a defective VGcable. Each trip to the Applestore is 115 miles round trip from where I live. I tried to get Apple to give me a new computer, but no dice. I even had a district manager in Boise Idaho hang up on me. It's too bad when they know they have a product which everyone loves, and wants to use. They can set the terms. How many things must go wrong before they just replace the @#$# thing? I bought the Macbook Feb 12th, so it's not that old. I have handled it with the utmost care. Anyway, I've tasted the forbidden fruit, and will continue to use Apple products. Thanks for your help. I'll probably have a much easier time with a computer that works. (knock on wood)

Problems with your internet connection after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

After upgrading to iOS 7.1.2 on my iPad Retina display does not connect to the internet more. Recognizes the Wi-Fi network but can not connect to the internet. The same thing happened to my wife's iPhone 5s, while my had no problems ...

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Printing problem with HP laserjet 1100A after upgrading to Mac OS Maverick

Good afternoon,
I have always been able to use my HP Laserjet 1100A with my iMac till I upgraded to Mac OS Maverick.
After giving a printing order just one order will be carried out.
In case I have 3 printjobs I have te restart the iMac twice to carry out all the print jobs.
I am using USB for connection.
When I use the printer with my Windows computer (Windows 7) there is no problem at all with the required printjobs.
I guess the driver Gutenprint v5.2.3 is the cause of the problem.
Is there a new printerdriver available?
Thanks in advance.
Fred

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

Anyone having a problem with links in Safari after upgrading?

okay, Before the upgrade to os5, we were able to go to the website to get the e-edition of our local paper. The way their website is designed you first see part of the first page and then there is a link to take you to the full page. Everything worked just fine. Then after the upgrade, last Saturday, i am able to get the first part of the page, but when I click on the link to access the full page it goes to a blank page -about:blank. I do have safari on my laptop (an ibm) and the link works fine there. Is it a problem with Safari, the settings on my ipad or what? Please help?

Is your problem with iMovie as the title suggests or with iDVD?

Problems with my second monitor after upgrading to Mountain Lion

Basically I have a Mac Pro 8-core with two video boards (2 x NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB) connected to two monitors. After upgrading to the Lion Mountain, 90% of the time when I start my MAC the second monitor doesn't show it image, keeps in full black screen, what puzzle me is, I can see the mouse arrow on it, so its alive, but its in black, than I have to restart the computer over and over again until it finally make the second shows it contains.
Have anyone experienced the same problem?!

Hello Carlo!
Sorry but I don't understand which part of my question is not clear. I've been to the Apple Store, they asked me to bring my 20kg Mac Pro and both 24" inches Eizo monitors to central London to have it checked. Well, honestly, this is impossible, is an invitation for an accident.
Is just unbeliavable that no one has experienced my problem, looks like I am the only one person with two monitors using the Lion Mountain.

Problems with wireless mouse/keyboard after upgrade to snow leopard

Hi!
I am wondering if someone has some insight for me. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have been using a Logitech S 530 wireless keyboard/mouse combo for a few years. I am now having problems with them irratically.
1. When on line and the page is large, I often cannot move the blue bar at the bottom of the screen to scroll to the right. What happens is like a stutter; as I am dragging the bar, it and the page shake rapidly side-to-side. Sometimes, I can drag it to the right, but as soon as I let go, it snaps back to the left. This does not happen in Word.
2. When in boxes with dropdown options, only occasionally does that happen. The dropdown either doesn't show, or it flashes quickly. Sometimes it will work after clicking many times. This happens with dropdown menus as well as search boxes that have dropdown choices for previous searches or suggested searches a la Google.
3. When I use my function key or mouse to display all windows, I can't choose the one I want. Regardless of which one I put my cursor over, only the left-most one is highlighted and comes to the front when I click.
4. There is a varying lag. Sometimes the system is responsive, and other times there is a lag of varying lengths before the system responds to the mouse action (click, drag, zoom, etc.)
5. For a while, my left mouse button wouldn't work. I reconfigured it, that seems to have done the trick.
6. Today, I can't open any of the menu items on Firefox. I can move the cursor there, but when I click on any of them, nothing happens. This is okay in Safari.
I have disconnected and reconnected the usb, restarted the computer, and tried to reinstall the software for the mouse and keybord. When I did that, I got a message saying it couldn't install on the current OS, so I went to Logitech and dowloaded and installed the latest version (which indicated it is for OS X 10.6.8.)
I don't know if this is a Snow Leopard problem, but it started sometime after I upgraded. Thanks in advance for any help!

Update all your third party software or uninstall and reinstall 10.6 versions.
If your going to 10.7, be warned a lot of software will not work at all and your 10.5 era machine will be slow, perhaps even have problems as 10.7 is problematic on older hardware.

IMO save for a new 10.8 machine after this summer.

Problems with TV Out signal after upgrading to iOS 5.1

Has anyone experienced problems with TV Out signals on their iPad 2 using the Apple HDMI Adapter after upgrading to iOS 5.1? I am trying to connect to my HDTV after upgrading and cintunally receive an "Unsupported Video Signal" message with a blank/back screen. Prior to upgrading, I had no connection problems and could view TV Shows, Movies, Music Videos, Keynote, etc...without problems. I've been unable to find any resolution to this problem, even followed Apple guidance to detach and reattach the HDMI adapter without success. Seems like a software bug to me and it's a major problem when trying to conduct business or personal activities. Hopeing Apple has a fix in work already...anyone else have any ideas? Thx in advance...

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
If that does not work, restore the iPad to the factory settings.

Problem with the USB-connection after upgrade to P...

Hello to everybody!
After upgrading PC-suite, I can't establish a USB-connection with the phone.
Here are the facts:
1) My phone is the E90. Latest software installed (300.34.84)
2) PC-Suite version 7.0.9.2 english. I also tried the greek version, same problem with it also.
3) Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver 7.0.2.1. I also installed manually a previous version of the driver (7.0.2.0), but this didn't solve the problem.
4) I didn't have any problem with the older version of PC-suite.
5) I don't have a problem with the cable because the data-transfer-mode works fine.
6) Prior to any installation attempt, I always first uninstalled PC-suite and Cable-driver manually with the windows-xp uninstall program. This was not the fact, only in my first attempt, where I upgraded the pc-suite from inside the program itself.
Please help, because I can't backup and this is very important for me!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you all for your suggestions but nothing of the above worked for me.
After of hours and hours of installing and uninstalling of several versions of the pc-suite I solved the problem as following:
1) Uninstall manually (windows - control panel - add/remove programs)Nokia-PC-Suite, Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver AND PC Connectivity Solution!
2) Restart PC
3) Download and install the new version of Nokia-PC-Suite.
The tricky part is that you have to uninstall the application called "PC Connectivity Solution" manually and since the title of the application dosn't include the Nokia-Name you have first to find out that this program is Nokia-related!
Once again, thanks to everybody who took the time to make suggestions and especially to cricfancy who made me aware of the fact that PC Connectivity Solution is a nokia application!
Finally, I would like to make a statement for Nokia:
People, if you are not sure about an update then keep it in beta and don't make it available to the public!!! I lost hours and hours on search and made countless installs and uninstalls to find out what was wrong. Under the line, I had made no mistakes in my update from the start and the whole problem was based on your software! This is not acceptable!

Apex 4.1 - problem with navigation component LIST after upgrade

There seems to be problem with Tags in LIST component, after upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 release

Right, we verified a problem for migrated lists.
We have lists of links, that are not based on a specific template. After upgrade to 4.1, they stopped from rendering in their region. Found out that the tag <TABLE> was not included in the HTML Source, hence the list body was not built to render.
The only way we found to include it was to create a template for Lists (there is not one by default in Apex in certain themes), edit it and include the tag (in the section "Before List Entry" > "List Template Before Rows" - the tag itself is not present in the newly created template, too). Then, you need to assign the template to the existing Lists to make the list body re-appear: it doesn't seem to be a good practice to create a list without a template, but Apex should at least provide 1 by default.

Problems with BOM in So after upgrade

Hi experts
After upgrading our test servers from ECC6.0 to ECC6.04 we see a problem when creating sales orders containing BOM.
The problem only occurs when we have a certain shipping point assigned to the customer.
Example:
We create a SO with a shipping point that allows 24 hours for picking and packing and add a BOM to the sales order. If the ATP fails we the reschedule the SO to a new delivery date (VA01 first date) and all items in the BOM will change accordingly.
If we do the same thing but with a shipping point with no time (0 hours) for Picking and packing and the ATP fails due to low qty in stock and we the try to reschedule the delivery (VA01 First date) the positions in the BOM that had ATP issues are u201Clockedu201D and will not change automatic as it normally do.
The above scenario also happens if we change the qty in the BOM, the position with ATP issues are locked at the qty will not update.
I have been through a lot of notes but havenu2019t found anything that covers this problem, and Im now hoping that one of you have seen something like this before and know a solution for this.
Kind regards
Jens Olsen

After running this by OSS i found a note for it

IPod (Gen 5) problems with Adobe Photoshop Elements after upgrade to V 4.0

This is really strange. I have used Photoshop Elements
V 3.0 to organize my pictures. iTunes would let me choose
the collection I wanted to synchronize with my iPod (Gen 5, 60 GB) and everything worked fine. After upgrading Photoshop Elements to V 4.0
I am neither able to select a collection nor able to sync the pictures with my iPod.
Does anyone know if there is a compatibility issue between iTunes and PS Elements 4 ?

Problems with traditional NI-Daq after upgrade

I recently upgraded to labview 8.6 from labview 7.1. I have a fairly complicated VI used to run a test rig that is no longer working. I've traced the problem to a conflict between NI-Daq and DAQmx. When I run the Vi I get the message:
Error -10461 occurred at AO Group Config
Possible reason(s):
NI-DAQ LV: The specified resource is unavailable because it has already been reserved by another entity.
I believe the problem is that the PCI-6074 is being accessed by both theNI-daq and DAQmx drivers. I would like to update the vi to use DAQmx, but the tutorials have not helped me much. Since I inherited the test rig from someone who left, and I need to make sure it continues to run, I hesitate to just start experimenting with the vi as I don't have much labview experience. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Hi Tavis,
I believe your problem caused by one device accessed by two driver (DAQmx and Traditional DAQ) at one time. To solve this problem, you need to make sure both DAQmx code and Traditional DAQ code run in sequence and RESET the device everytime you switch between the codes.
Use the Device Reset VI at the end of the Traditional DAQ code sequence, annd DAQmx Reset Device VI at the end of the DAQmx code sequence. You still need to create a Traditional DAQ virtual channel and DAQmx Task for use with each driver respectively

Problem with system recovery for a new hard drive in my Pavilion p6210y Windows 7 Premium 64bit

   I decided to swap out my hard drive when my computer would fail to start up or crash right after starting. Diagnostic tool at startup said the hard drive was faulty and other times I would get BIOHD-1 and BIOHD-2 errors. I replaced the old WD Caviar Blue 640GB with a new Caviar Green 1TB. I ordered and received from HP a system recovery disc set which included five discs labeled:
Use This First! System Recovery,
System Recovery 1:1,
SYstem Recovery 1:3,
System Recovery 2:3, and
System Recovery 3:3.
   After putting in the new hard drive I used the "Use This First!" disc and everything seemed to be going fine. The scene showed "Loading Windows" or something like that. After about 10 minutes the CD drive opened and the Monitor showed three images: a big green check mark which I assume meant everything was good up to that point; a graphic showing the removal of the first disc; and a graphic showing three discs to be put in. Wondering whether to put in the System Recovery 1:1 disc or the System Recovery 1:3 disc, I noticed that the drive bay closed with the "Use This First" disc still in. I managed to get the Drive to open after pressing the open button quite a few times. I closed it with the 1:3 disc and nothing happened (no light showing activity in the DVD drive). After a minute or so I managed to get the drive open again after quite a few times pressing the open button. I put in the 1:1 disc and still nothing. At this point I could only open the drive bay with a paper clip in the release hole. With the computer unresponsive and the monitor still showing the same as when the first disc came out, I decided to turn it off with the "Use this First!" disc in the drive hoping to start from the beginning again. Now the directions that came with the HP System Recovery discs state:
   CAUTION: Do not turn off the computer, or use the keyboard or mouse during this time. Doing so will interrupt or damage the software installation.
   Now when I turn the power on I get either:
the HP blue screen with the green hand, (F11=system recovery), (F9=Diagnostics), (F10=Setup) and (ESC=Boot Menu). pressing esc, F9, F10 or F11 does nothing.
Or the HP blue screen appears and then almost immediately goes to the black screen with " Reboot and select proper boot device or insert Boot media in select Boot device and press a key". I've gotten this scene while trying almost every System Recovery disc in the drive. Hitting a key does nothing other than repeating the same message.
Once I got a "The file is corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computer checksum" error. That appeared only once in about 30 try's.
   The open DVD drive button works sometimes and not other times. I can't seem to figure out a pattern for when it will work.
   I don't know whether I might have accidentally moved the mouse or hit the keyboard during the first attempt. Can I do something to the new hard drive to get it back to a state where it can start from the beginning again? Might it be a problem other than the old hard drive. Anyone have any suggestions?

Satellite L505D-S5983
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
Yes, of course! See the link to your model's spec above.
My apologies. The previous link went to a spec for the Satellite A505-S6960 (which came with Windows Vista installed). I had too many spec pages open at the same time and got them mixed.
So, are you telling me that I won't get this one to work?(the BPKT)
No. But you may face the problems that I outlined in this message.
