Secondary IDE not recognized. Any hope for a fix?

My 6800 GT fried on me on a cold startup. You can see and smell where it "burnt" (around the capicator near where the molex plug was connected). I checked everything else, and nothing else seemed to be dammaged, including the molex that was plugged into the VC. Then after putting in an old VC, the MB posted, but would not boot into windows. After trying alot of different things, I finally got it to boot and it's running fine right now.
The problem is that I can't get the MB to recoginize anything on the secondary IDE (either of my burners). I replaced the IDE cable with a brand new one, and I connected one of my burnres to another computer and it worked. So I can't use any CD-ROM on this MB, which of course is not accepatable. Also, the primary LAN connection is not found. The secondary one works fine however.
Does this sound like I'm in need of an RMA? Or is there something I can try to fix this?

I have never done it because in my country we relate to the dealer/distributor only .
And it's the dealer that eventually use the rma process towards the manufacturers .
But from what i hear others experience, the turnaround time is between 20-30 days if rma'ed directly to MSI.

I was thrown in the pool with my phone in my pocket. I was in the pool for a minute or two. I got out dried it off and stuck it in rice. Is there any hope for my hope? If not, is there a way to fix it?

What a colossally bad idea! To anyone reading this thread DO NOT DO THIS!!! Once anyone other than an Apple Authorized Service Provider (and that doesn't automatically mean your carrier, just FYI) opens up the device, then ALL options from Apple are gone, permanently.

I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

Any hope for this iPod Shuffle stuck in DFU Mode?

I received a 2nd Gen iPod Shuffle that was in dire straits. The owner complained that they couldn't access it at all, for anything.
Plugging it in and looking at the System Profiler, the device showed up as a "USB DFU Device". Googling this issue, I found that Shuffles in this condition can be repaired using the iPod Reset Utility.
I downloaded the utility, installed it and ran it, and clicked the "Reset" button to reset the Shuffle to factory settings. At the part for "Waiting for the iPod to restart - do not disconnect", the utility freezes. NO spinning beach ball or anything, just stuck. CPU usage for the "iPod Reset Utility" in Activity Monitor stays at 0.0%.
After about a minute or so of watching this frozen program, a pop up window appears with the following error:
"Error
An error occurred resetting iPod."
Googling this error message yields one forum post in another language without any follow-up. This error message is really vague and I have no idea why it's doing this.
I do not have much hope for this Shuffle, but I'm curious if anyone knows of anything else I can do to bring this Shuffle back to life.

ok got it fixed it needed to be shut down when i plugged into the computer for the itunes to recognize it my ipod kept on restarting as soon as it shut down thank you for the help

Any hope for Powermac G4 400 mhz?

I have GB running on a Powermac G4 400 mhz and, not surprisingly, it gives me the "disk too slow" message after more than 3 or 4 tracks. Without investing too much $, is there any hope for upgrading this to a more workable solution for GB, or would I be better off going to a mini w/1.42 Ghz? I'm concerned that the mini might not work that much better.

I'll offer an opinion...
If you can slip a Mini and an external FireWire drive into your budget, that's the way I would go (If you're willing to turn a screwdriver and shop around online for a few weeks, a nice sized FW drive and enclosure can be purchased separately for a total under $100. For some more money a very nice sized drive can be had)
The weakest link in the Mini is the very slow HD it has. Add the FW drive and you'll have a lot more machine than I use as my recording machine in the studio (800Mc iBook)
Naturally it depends how far/hard you plan to go/push.
Effects and software instruments are very processor intensive. Audio is mostly HD intensive.

Any hope for my G5?

This morning, my iMac G5 booted up fine. I had a Word document open. When I went to work, the screen flashed, then went black. I turned off the computer using the back start-up button. I gave it a few minutes, then pushed the start-up button. The white light flashed on the front, and I heard the hard drive try to start. Then it went flat....nothing but a faint blowing sound. I've tried two or three more times since. Same thing. It's like the computer's trying to boot up but just can't.
Can I hope for a fix at the Mac shop? I'm trying very hard to stay calm and optimistic.
Thanks so much for any and all thoughts.
This forum is THE BEST. People have helped me with so many issues in the past.
My best,

Good for you, hope you enjoy your new machine.
Here are some hints to help you migrate:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350&tstart=0
+A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs+
+If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.+
+Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:+
+# Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications+
+# Screensavers written for the PowerPC+
+# System Preference add-ons+
+# All Unsanity Haxies+
+# Browser and other plug-ins+
+# Contextual Menu Items+
+# Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5+
+# Kernel extensions+
+# Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries+
+See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.+
+In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.+
+If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.+
+If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.+
+The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.+
+Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (need version 4), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.+
+Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.+
+Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:+
+Intel In Macs+
+Apple Guide to Universal Applications+
+MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries+
+MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications+
+MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software+
+Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.+
+Basically the instructions you should follow are:+
+1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.+
+2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.+
+3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.+
+4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.+
+4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:+
+In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.+
+In your /Home/Library/ folder:+
+/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)+
+/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)+
+Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)+
+/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)+
+/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)+
+/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)+
+/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications+
+/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)+
+/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)+
+If you want cookies:+
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
+/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist+
+For Entourage users:+
+Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data+
+Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft+
+Credit goes to another forum user for this information.+
+If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.+
+5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.+

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine? All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

Hello kpratta,
There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:

This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
Hope this helps.

USB device not recognized by computer for iPod Touch 2G?

Connected to computer as usual, but this time the computer & iTunes do not recognize it. A message pops up from computer that USB device is not recognized and has malfunctioned. Tried turning ipod off & on, then Reset all settings - no change. iTunes had just updated so it is current. Restarted computer - no change. Then I did the major reset on the ipod that erases everything - no change. The ipod is charged and the 'connect cable to itunes' graphic shows on start up, but the computer & itunes do not recognize it. Also tried using another ipod usb cable - no change.
We've only had it 2-3 months (bought it used-about 5 months) and it has worked fine, with no problems, until today. The only change that comes to mind is the update to iTunes today.
My other son has an ipod touch 4g & it connects to the same computer, same cable & itunes without any problem. Now my youngest son's ipod (2g) is wiped clean & I cannot put any of his apps or music back on it because it is not being recognized. Any help is greatly appreciated. My youngest is so sad, its heartbreaking.

IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode. Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Hi,
My iphone 5 stuck during update to 8.2. It is now frozen in recovery mode, showing a 'connect to itunes' screen. The problem I have is that (the recently upgraded to 12.0.1) itunes is not recognizing my device. I have tried all of the suggestions here: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows, to no avail. I have not removed iTunes and reinstalled to test that, as I am concerned this will destroy the backups of my phone - which I will now desperately need once the phone is recovered.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers

Hi AmberX92,

ITunes 12 not recognizing any attached devices

I have installed uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 12 about 3 times. It will not recognize any of my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, etc. My PC is running Windows 8 and it is seeing the usb connections each time I attach a device. iTunes does not see them. I ran the diagnostic and it stated that no devices are connected. I tried reverting to a previous version, but the update changed my library which the older version will not recognize. Has anyone found a solution?

As of today, neither sample songs on the music store nor songs already downloaded will play correctly. They are stuttery and slow. I have iTunes 10.5 and have not downloaded any upgrades for anything recently. They were working last night. Thoughts?

As of today, neither sample songs on the music store nor songs already downloaded will play correctly. They are stuttery and slow. I have iTunes 10.5 and have not downloaded any upgrades for anything recently. They were working last night. Thoughts or advice?

I found a solution that worked for me. Here is what I did and where I found it.
"Looks like I tracked down the problem, it worked for me so I hope this works for everyone else experiencing problems. Go to your Task Manager and locate the program APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push)..... if you see this executing terminate the program and then startup iTunes and it should come up fine. You will see afterwards that APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push) starts back up but this is fine as long as iTunes has already started.
I tried playing both music and syncing up my iPhone with no problems. Note if you shutdown iTunes again you will have to terminate the process APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push) again. Haven't had time to see what in the world Apple Push is but this appears to have corrected the problem so that you can at least use iTunes and sync any device that needs to be synced.
Hope that helps everyone!"

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

Secondary IDE not recognized. Any hope for a fix?
