Qosmio X500-10V - Can't boot the computer
Hi !

Can someone help me an know this Problem?
Thx !
Hi juergenp,
Here its an international user to user forum so there is English support only but I dont think its a problem to understand English language ;)
Anyway, Ive watched your video and your computer cant boot properly, it gives you just a certain beep code.
Such beep codes mean that there is a hardware malfunction detected.
Theoretically it could be a RAM malfunction. So if you have two RAM modules installed, test it with one module only and this module in every slot to make sure its not a problem of RAM slot itself.
In worst case another part is related like mainboard or something else. In this case you should contact an authorized service provider in your country. The guys can help you to get rid of this problem if your notebook is under warranty, the repair would be for free. :)

I'm getting the grey screen during start up and can't boot the computer - MacBook Pro with lion.
I did a command r after doing some research but got nervous that it would automatically wipe my hard drive and reinstall OS.
I was nervous because it asked me for language for software use before any options were presented (such as repair via disk utility). It looked similar to an OS install.So I powered off....Is there a risk at command r will result in wiped HD without me actively making that choice?Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Qosmio X500-10W - Can I replace the HDD with another one?
Hello
I have a Qosmio X500-10W with two HDD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500GB 5400RPM 8MB ??SATA II but is one of hs so I wonder if I can be replaced by a more powerful style HDD 750GB 7200tr / min 16MB Toshiba course?
merciHey,
Your question is a little bit hard to understand but I think you want to replace the HDD with another (faster) model, right?
Well, thats no problem. HDDs with 7200rpm will work, they are a little bit louder but they are faster so if you need more performance no problem.
Also 750GB or more is no problem because SATA interface is not capacity limited. Theoretically 1TB or more should also work.
Anyway, you can buy the 750GB you mentioned it will work. :) -
In the get info screen the HD drive is lock, can not boot the computer
I can not boot my imac. In the Get Info window the Hard Drive has no access marked for everyone and a minus sign on the hard drive. How can I get around this??
Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name), and run Repair Permissions (not Repair Disk.) Then reboot as usual. That will undo the worst of the damage. You may need to reinstall some of your third-party software.

My Macbook won't boot up because there sin't enough free space to run the startup disk. My Macbook now won't go past the blue screen so exactly how am I meant to be able to delete files if I can't access the computer?
Do you have a bootable backup?
What operating system are you running? If OS X 10.6 or lower, boot from your original OS X DVD or a retail OS X DVD and then delete files as needed. Your goal should be to get to 10% of your disk capacity free.
If you have OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, you don't have many choices in recovery mode (boot holding the command and r keys down).
If you have a FireWire or Thunderbolt connection, you can try target disk mode with another mac.
If none of those work, perhaps your local Apple store can help with a bootable external drive. -
Qosmio X500-10V - Problems writing BD-RE DL discs
Hi,
I have a Qosmio X500- 10V which includes a Blu Ray writer.
The technical specification sais that BD-R (Dual Layer) is possible but ... also BD-RE DL (Dual Layer).
Now I bought a few discs (BD-RE DL from Verbatim) and I tried to write my movie.
But The system doesn't regognize the disc.
The Pinnacle Studio 16 sais always that I have to put a disc into the drive.
I tried also with opening the the windows explorer but also there it sais that there is no disc in the drive.
I am upset and I don't understand why that happens.
Do you have an idea. Is it possible that those drive have problems with *BD-RE* (rewritable) Discs?
Or is it possible that there has to be configured something before using the drive to write BluRay (I don't think that but you never know)?
I hope some of you have an idea.
Cheers,
JoelIm no sure if you have generally problems using Verbatim disks.
I use DVD R from verbatim and they are ok but my drive is different.
I made good experience using TDK disks
>plus or minus?
The supported BD are minus:
BD-R 6x(Max)
BD-R DL 4x(Max)
BD-RE 2x(Max)
BD-RE DL 2x
>Rewritable (RE) or only single writing (R)?
According to the information I found R and RE are supported.
> Driver problem? Is there a version which MUST be installed to write Blu Ray discs?
Dont think so since there is no special driver for and optical disk drive the Windows uses the common Microsoft driver
> Are there any experiences which brand and which type have been used in the X500-10V successfully from people?
As far as I know in user manual you can find some info about good working disks. -
Qosmio X500-10V - need new or used graphic card chip
Need a new / used graphic card for my Qosmio X500 10V!!
Please contact!
greatings, KingsleyHi
Im not quite sure if you will be able to get only the graphic chip.
I guess the graphic chip would be sold in connection with an new motherboard.
However, the notebook seems to be equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTS250M GPU.
You can contact the authorized service provider in your country to get the compatible part. Not quite sure how much such GPU could be but I think it would not be a cheap replacement. -
I have IMac 10.7.5 Lion I use I forgot the password and I did a few fixes from web sites, which did not work and now I can not get the computer to reboot the gray screen comes on with the apple and if a shift+c, I get a load bar and it goes half way and stops, I can get into the black screen area with the hard drive info
I did the following: mount -uw / rm/var/db/.AppleSetupDone shutdown/uses/us reboot Ok I know I should not have, but now I need help to reboot and hopefully not lose everything on the desk top, Linda MarkleYou did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

can't get my epson sx535wd to work. my epson will get contact with my router (sitcom wl306) and my mac is on wifi, but they can't connect. epson can't find the computer and my report says: there are conflicting channels on my router or entry point. please help
OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:

Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X

Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS. -

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
for k in /Sy*/L*/Ex*/{,.?}*.kext; do test -f "$k/Contents/Info.plist" && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$_" | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo $k; done | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
Repeat with this line:
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 4
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, Steps 1-4 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011. It became more serious recently as I think I might have let my battery run out I also tried to download the operating system to reinstall it but it allways stops around 1.4 GB out of 1.7 then the whell starts again.
Keep the MBP attached to the power adapter.
First try SMC and PRAM resets:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Then try to boot the MBP in recovery (OPTION key down) and select the recover partition. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and verify and repair the HDD.

I perform music with my Macbook pro. so I have several music applications that startup automatically when the computer boots. they look for the audio interface that they are supposed to talk to and then everything is good. but sometimes I boot my computer when it is not connected to the audio interface and this breaks the conncetion link between the music applications and the audio interface. If the is a way to bypass (turn off) the startup items as I boot the computer when it is not connected to the audio interface, then I'd no longer have this problem. is there a way to do so?

This is a third party software problem you need to contact the developer to fix, perhaps they already have a update and you need to apply it.
Nothing should "break" if it's not connected to hardware as with portables people are always connecting and disconnecting.
If it's breaking the connection between two other pieces of software then it's poorly designed.
Some hardware + software combinations are meant for pernament desktop installations as a integrated system, not for portables.
The only case I can think of that software won't work without the hardware attached if the hardware is a form of content protection, that it won't run without the dongle etc., attached. -
Why do i have to keep re-booting the computer to regain internet connection?
I have recently upgraded my system to OS X Yeosomite but I have to keep re-booting the computer to re-gain a connection and this is very annoying as I never know when it is going to freeze. I also have problems connecting to any wifi networks keeps prompting diagnostics and again is annoying.
