Spin Retry count again (plz help)
Hi,
My 11 month old macbook pro (2011) was recently sent under warrenty for Harddisk SPIN RETRY COUNT value increase. They changed the harddisk and installed new Toshiba harddisk. Which ran 100% S.M.A.R.T health for two weeks and now it is showing same Spin retry count problem. I am thinking its not the harddisk but something else is causing the problem( may be power supply problem). I am from nepal so it takes a lot of effort to send it in for repair. Any help on this topic will really appreciated plz. Scaned it with disk radar and Techtool.
AFAIK, this SMART parameter indicates a mechanical problem. Which would mean that you've experienced two different hard disks with mechanical failure in a row in the same machine. While not impossible, I should expect this to be rather improbable.
A power supply issue may be the cause, but then I'd expect other symptoms as well. Here's what I'm thinking:
(1) SATA cable. Problems with SATA cables are common in laptops.
(2) Alternatively, a long shot: ambient air pressure. You mentioned Nepal. If you're in the Kathmandu Valley, it's not an issue; but if you take your MBP above, say, roughly 3200m, it may become a problem for the hard disk.

Help my iPod won't let me download apps... I'll put my password in then it takes me to the app but then is just goes away then I do it again an it won't load or it will just go away again plz help I want to get apps
You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened. I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem. -
My Satellite notebook shows "Spin retry count" warning
Hi first time user hope I get this write, I am using system mechanic pro latest version and on the hard drive monitor status it is showing a warning for the spin retry count.
My laptop is only 2 months old should I be worried? and have it looked at. Thanks in advance. Operating system is win8.1In my opinion there is no reason for panic. You are using third part software and they have own rule for reporting S.M.R.T values.
If there is no other problem I think everything is OK.
Open preinstalled PC health monitor and check HDD Status. What is reported there?
I hope Good. -

MeenaHi,
Goto SE01,

Expand the TR object list
Place cursor on the object & right click & select DELETE object
You will get a popup asking the object is locked..do u want to proceed.. say YES
This will remove the object from the TR..
Now you can delete the TR if it doesnt hv any other objects. If you delete the TR then object wud authomatically come under local objects.

Open the object & goto attributes.. change the class & save.

My HP mini 110-3107tu: At startup HP Bios update screen is displayed with message "The system BIOS is being recovered"....Writing new BIOS image.....
Next message is displayed Verifying new BIOS image...
Thereafter "The System BIOS recovery is complete" message appears. But this process repeats again and again. Please help.
Is there a solution, how i can recover my netbook or should I take it to the service centerI have searched far and wide for a workaround that does not involve sending it to HP. Unforunately, I was not able to find such a workaround.
As a last effort, you can try these steps.
1. Power off the notebook completely.
2. Hold the windows key + b keys simultaneously.
3. Power the notebook on while holding those keys and keep holding them.
4. Let the keys go when you get a message about BIOS recovery.
Let me know what happens.

URGENT, PLS HELP: AQ retry count
Hi, need ur help again,
Found that when setup the queue table to allow multiple subscriber, then the delay for te retry of the AQ (in oracle enterprise manager,OEM) is disabled for configuration.
Is there any way to work around this? So that i can configure the delay in OEM.
Then, another issue is, when set the retry count to 10, but AQ only retry 6 times. How to correct this situation?
Many many thanks!I've just read this thread three times and I have absolutely no idea what you are doing, in what version, and what you are asking for help with.
Do you want to change the message type? If you do you MUST drop the queue and start over again from the beginning.

SMART tests PASS, but my Spin-up Retry Count is in the yellow
I've had my computer for almost three years. AppleCare is on the verge of expiring. I just toook my MacBook in for a trackpad replacement.
I use TechTools Pro for my hardware testing. My computer passes all of its tests, but I notice that the test for the Spin-Up Retry Count on the SMART status of my harddrive is not totally in the red, but in the yellow, and even then its closer to green than to red. My computer still works great. It does slow down and Spinning-wheel-of-death alot when I'm doing alot of high-CPU load tasks, but for the most part, it still works great. Is this Spin-Up Retry Count something I should be concerned with? My other tests report no bad sectors, bad blocks, or anything else wrong.Back up all data, then uninstall the worthless, time-wasting "TechTool" product according to the developer's instructions. Reboot. Problem solved.
Oh, that made my day. I actually did that, when I found the Unix tool smartmontools. Set it to perform a full check weekly, and email me if SMART check failed. No use seeing that stuff Techtools shows you. -

Plz help me its urgent i have iphone i dnt want my deleted texts my phone was jailbroken if i do restore widout backup should i jailbreak again ,should i unlock again,will the data of texts premantly erased plz answr me
Jailbroken phones cannot be discussed in an Apple forum. If you synced your phone with your computer the texts will be in the backup, so if you restore the backup you may get them back, but with a jailbroken phone it's anybody's guess what will happen.
