Switchable Graphics Mode in the BIOS is not listed(seen)

Hi everyone!
I've read that:
NOTE: If you do not see Switchable Graphics Mode in the BIOS or it cannot be selected, see the following section Updating the BIOS to enable Fixed Mode .
However, I didn't see that switachable craphics mode is seen in my BIOS:
Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
Product Number : LM610EA#A2N
Version of BIOS is: F.05.
Vendor of BIOS is: Insyde
Also, I would say that my BOIS is not a UEFI BIOS because I cannot navigate the menus with a mouse but only just with the keyboard.
However, I really was told that I shouldn't update the BIOS unless I am having a problem with it.
Thus, I am afraid that if I had updated it, I would be encountring some problems not loading my machine well. However, I really want to know how to switch to external or internal adapter, thus I read here:

Please see OpenGL Applications Cannot Use Discrete GPU with Intel + AMD Switchable Graphics for the basic procedure to update the BIOS and change the BIOS setting.

Error "No drive attached to fastrack controller, the bios is not installed"

Having recently purchased a K7N2 Delta mainboard I now get the above error displayed during bootup. Shortly after the message has been displayed the windows boot process hangs.
What have I done wrong or what havn't I done right?
My system spec is:
Athlon 2500xp
80 gig Maxtor HDD
1024 DDR ram (single stick)
XP Professional
N-vidia graphics 440

Hi,
Technomarv:
Listen to what others are saying! "The BIOS not installed" message is NOT a problem My machine says this EVERY time I boot Up! There is obviously something else wrong.
You say:
Quote
The problem does not appear to be with the boot sector as when I put the hard drive into another machine it boots perfectly. Once back in MSI machine the boot process hangs again. I therefore find it difficult just to ignore the PC when it tells me "The bios is not installed".
Am I to understand from this that your trying to boot the same hard drive using two different motherboards? If so - I'm not surprised it doesn't boot! It is advisable to do a full and new install of your OS - to your HD - when installing a new board.
You can't just move a hard drive from one machine to another and hope a boot will be successful (this can only be done when the motherboard and or add-ons are the same or very similar).

I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

I moved a iMovie video from a macPro to an IMac. In iMovie the option to export the video to media browser is greyed out, but the video is not listed on iDVD media. How can I get iDVD to find it or find a way to re-export it to media browser?

I moved an iMovie from a MacPro to an iMac. In the iMovie share option Media browser is greyed out (It was previously shared to the Media b
rowser on the MacPro). The video is not listed in the iDVD media list. How do I get it listed in iDVD or find a way to re-export it?

Did you transfer a Quicktime movie files from the Mac Pro to your iMac? If so make sure the video plays correctly in Quicktime Player. If it does you can put it in your Movies folder and from there drag it into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. It doesn't have to come from iMovie. You can just drag and drop into iDVD.

HT2905 How to remove duplicate songs from the iPhone when the duplicates are not listed in the iTunes library on the computer.

How can I remove duplicate songs from the iPhone4. The duplicates are not listed in the computer iTunes library.

The simplest thing may be to back-up and then restore the iPhone. If you don't fancy that then remove all media that is currently synced to it, then double check and manually remove any media that remains on the device, before reselecting your sync options.
If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

I am using OS X and am trying to set up a HP ENVY 5660 e printer and the drivers are not listed. I read somewhere not to use the install disk. What do I do?

I am using OS X and am trying to set up a HP ENVY 5660 e printer and the drivers are not listed. I read somewhere not to use the install disk. What do I do?

Your suggestion was a good one and what I found was that to use this and any other printer I looked at is that I need to update the operating system to a later version. I have been reluctant in the past to do this after reading update horror stories and since this computer does what I need and very well. Was glad I moved over from windows and this is the first problem I have had. Thanks for your help and any other suggestions you may have.

My iPad 2 is connected, works well and is found under "devices" on the left side of my iTunes window. But when I go into my iTunes account the iPad2 is not listed nor found to be "associated" with my account. Why not?

Even if you put a credit or debit card on file with iTunes it will still use your balance FIRST.
I would suggest putting a card on file and testing to see if it will allow you to make a purchase, then removing the card from the account after successful download of an item.

HT201299 After installing an app on iPhone 5s, I can't use it outside of wifi (using cellular or mobile data) and the app is not listed in settings to enable its use of mobile data - any clues on what is wrong here?

After installing an app on iPhone 5s, I can't use it outside of wifi (using cellular or mobile data) and the app is not listed in settings to enable its use of mobile data - any clues on what is wrong here?

Steps to take to resolve this issue:
1/ Turn off Wifi
2/ Ensure Mobile (cellular) data is on
3/ Turn iPhone OFF and then ON (re-boot iPhone)
4/ Without turning Wifi on, open an app that requires mobile (cellular) data.
5/ The app will now show on the Settings list with the option to enable or disable mobile (cellular) data
6/ In time all apps that require or use mobile data will be added to the list automatically.

I recently purchased Elements 13 for Mac-OS and cannot download N-OS and cannot download NEF-RAW files taken on my Nikon D5500. The model is not listed among those supported by Elements, but the D5300 is, which is nearly identical. Is there any quick fix?

What is N-OS?
For the camera raw problem, every new camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include it. That hasn't happened yet for the D5500, so you'll just have to use the Nikon software till Adobe gets the info and releases an updated version of ACR. It's not unusual to be in your situation if you buy a camera model that's only been out a month. You just have to wait a bit.

How do I install a SSD drive - the Bios does not allow changing to AHCI mode

I have a Windows 7, HP ENVY approx 1.5 years old. I want to install an SSD drive, however the BIOS seems to be locked, or does not include options to change the SATA connection to AHCI or RAID.
How does one unlock the BIOS, or change the sata settings to allow an SSD drive to be installed?

Hi:
AHCI is enabled by default on today's HP consumer notebooks.
Nothing can be done to actually see a setting, or change the setting to anything other than AHCI etc.

Satellite M30-951 graphic card or video BIOS does not work properly

On the BIOS and boot pages strange characters occur (screenshot www.audioberlin.com/M30-951_SCREEN.jpg).
XP boots up but the elements displayed freeze and the display becomes black for a second. The system becomes slow and does not react any longer.
Maybe these symptoms started after having tried to watch a movie which was not encoded correctly but I am not sure.
I already tried different video drivers (Nvidia FX GO5200), changed the BIOS from 1.7 to 1.6 and back again and reinstalled XP Pro. I also substituted the RAM. Nothing changes :(
Could a broken video bios be the problem? And how could this problem be solved?

Hi buddy,
no, its not a broken videobios. Your graphicscard is defective and thats a 100% fact. My girlfriend had an M30-244 and the same error occurred with her machine.
At this time she had warranty on her machine, and they replaced the Mainboard of the machine.
After the replacement everything was fine again. So if you have still warranty on your Rig then give it to repair; otherwise you can give the machine to ebay. :)
Sorry dude, but thats a not very nice fact, which I can tell you.
