T61P won't read flight sim X

As the subject line says, my DVD-RW drive doesn't recognize MS Flight Sim X when the disc is put in the drive. It spins up but shortly after spins back down. When that disc is in, the computer basically locks up, although the mouse cursor still moves, but the drive will not eject the disc and the only thing I can do with the computer is to hold down the power button and shut it down. The only way I can try and view the volume in the DVD drive is to restart with the flight sim disc already in, but when windows explorer opens up, it freezes and doesn't show anything in the drive. I know the discs are good, as they load with no problem in my wife's HP laptop with Vista and my desktop with XP. My T61p has Win XP and has no problem recognizing any other CD or DVD that I put in the drive. Anybody have any thoughts?

What is the exact wording of the error message you receive?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
Have you installed one of the iOS 7 beta versions on that iPhone?

Iphone 4 won't recognise my sim

Hi
I got an Iphone for xmas. I got a new micro sim today from Vodafone but when I put it into the phone it says SIM not recognised. I've tried the sim in another phone and it works ok. I've tried resetting my phone in I Tunes but I'm still having the same problem.
can anyone help please?

That's because your phone was hacked using gevey chip to unlock your phone, that why it won't read the sim.
You'll have to use google to find your answer.

XP SP 2 and Flight Sim 2004 vs Bootcamp = no audio

Hi I've got a 27" imac and have installed XP SP2. I'm running OS 10.6.2 and have installed Microsoft Flight Sim 2004. I can't get any audio when running the flight sim. Have managed to get basic sounds in windows by changing one setting which was an improvement but thats it.
I'm also wondering what screen res would be the best choice in Microsoft Flight sim. They give you about 1 million options. What is best? Can anyone help?

Well, I'm making progress - of a sort.
The Sharp connects via AV (Video + 1 audio channel) to the Sony Z1P. Fine
The Z1P "captures" the Sharp's footage to tape (it seems the Sony won't "pass-thru" directly - oh, well...). Video AND audio are faithfully recorded, as they play back rather well on the Z1P's LCD screen.
Now, the Z1P uses what appears to be a proprietary Sony "iLink" cable - it looks like a 4-pin to 4-pin IEEE1394 cable - and my computer's firewire input socket is a 6-pin. Tried a 4-pin to 6-pin cable - didn't work. Couldn't identify the camera. There must be something about the Sony iLink cable, huh?
So, I have an older laptop with a 4-pin socket, and grab the footage that way. Fine, but the laptop can't keep up and drops frames all over the place. At least I 've got both video and audio, now.
I was capturing using WMM at DV-AVI running at 25MB/sec and that's obviously too much for this little laptop. WMM has a lot of slow bandwidth options, ranging from 28.8KB/sec to 768KB/sec, then DV-AVI at 25MB/sec - nothing in between.
I think I'm going to buy a firewire adapter with a 4-pin socket.

I have a iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought unlocked in the UK. I have just moved to singapore and have been told the iPhone won't accept a sim here as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock. Will this be the same for my ipad?

I have an iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought in the UK Unlocked. I have just moved to Singaporen and have been told that my iPhone won't accept a sim as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock as apple say they can't do it. Will I have the same problem with my ipad?

Unless you purchased the iPhone direct from Apple in the UK and paid full price either on line or In an Apple Store then it will be locked to a UK Carrier and only that carrier can arrange unlocking
It is unlikely that the iPad is similarly locked as most are sold carrier free unless specifically purchased from a UK carrier as part of a packaged deal involving a subsidy on the price of the iPad ( not very likely but they do exist )

HT4623 after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

If it now says "invalid" or "unsupported" SIM, your iPhone was almost certainly hacked to unlock it from the original cell carrier and updating has now removed that hack and the iPhone has relocked back to that original carrier. You will have to contact that carrier and ask if it would be possible to get your iPhone officially unlocked.
Regards.

Flight Sim keyboard shortcuts

Has anyone got the keyboard shortcuts / commands for Flight Sim on an iMac running Windows? As in Bootcamp Window.
I looked an someone spoke aobut comcast, but that's not the case here.
It used to be F1-F4 did engine speeds, and F5-F8 did flaps, but doesn't work with the newer iMac aluminum keyboard. (which btw I don't like, too flat and I get zapped touching it after walking across the room.)
Cheers
Tom

perhaps this thread or others in the "more like this" section next to it might help : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3167143?start=0&tstart=0. If you have already read them, I'm sorry, I am not a mindreader, which is also why I did not know that you already searched the Flight Simulator 9 or FX forums.

Imac won't read Cds

5-yr. old iMac: suddenly won't read CDs. It spits them out after 10-20 seconds with no error message.

Thanks everybody
I too have suddenly developed this failure to burn. Worked well last week, now doesn't even get to the multiplexing stage, just ejects the blank disk. Ejects original Leopard disk, won't write to CD with Toast 8. Couldn't even check the hardware diagnostic as it just spits the disk out.
Tried Unix single usere mode Command S to type in fsck -y after the prompt localhost# (p840 - The Missing Manual series Leopard) but never got to this prompt. Upgraded to lastest iMovie and iDVD
Tried your FINDER- PREFERENCES - TICKED THEM BUT THEY DON'T SHOW UP IN THE SIDEBAR. . Starting to look ominous. Here I am in the middle of the South Pacific with no Mac repair shop within 3000 km.
OR any other suggestions - may be "life saving" or this iMac is going on a long flight soon or could you send your father-in law.

IPhone 4 won't accept new sim

Hi,
My brother-in-law bought me a surprise present when I got married to his sister, an iPhone 4! Which is fantastic, only it won't accept my sim-card. I'm from the UK and I assume he bought the phone locally in the US (where he lives) - but I don't see why that should have any effect. I bought a monthly iPhone contract sim from 3-Mobile, put it in the phone and nothing happens. Acts like there is no sim installed. Am I missing something here? Its a valid iPhone network and sim so I don't see why it would locked out...
Any help would be great.
- Daniel

First time I've been disappointed like this by an Apple product
Don't blame Apple. While Apple may make the iphone, they don't own any networks. Thus, they are at the mercy of the carriers that do own the networks. Many carriers will not support or distribute the iphone unless the phone is locked to their networks. It would be far cheaper & easier for Apple if they could simply sell unlocked iphones everywhere. The decision to unlock or not rests with the carriers(unless required by law), not Apple.

Having trouble with international sim. Purchased phone unlocked, no contract from Apple store in Australia. Living in Denmark now and phone won't accept Danish sims. Guys in phone shop say phone is actually locked. Any hints would be welcome.

Purchased phone (3GS) unlocked, outright so no contract from Apple store in Australia.
Living in Denmark now and phone won't accept Danish sims. Guys in phone shop say phone is actually locked and he doesn't understand how it could be if it was supposed to be off contract. Software updates have been done regularly. They think that it shouldn't come up "connect to iTunes" when the Danish sim is installed.
Any hints would be welcome.

Hi Peter
Yes - it was from a proper Apple Store.
I only purchased the unit - no special requests and then went to O2 and hooked up with a scolling monthly sim.
I used that sim for about 6 months and then moved out here. I took on two PAYG sims, one for Qatar and one for UAE but neither are accepted.
When connect to my mbp, the phone screen shows the iphone connect cable and iTunes picks it up. The message then says " must insert original sim to register" My point - the original sim, was completely independant from the phone but I cant get past this point to do anything further.
Any thoughts?

Iphone4 cannot read other sim card

Hi, I have just exchanged my iphone4 from Apple store. I want to chang my sim card, but the new iphone4 cannot read other sim card.
This 2 Sim card all from rogers.
Thanks

Is the iphone unlocked? If not and the sim card is from a different carrier, then that won't work.

Are the iMacs able to handle Flight Sims?

My iMac is an early intel version with a 2.16 GHz cpu and 2.0 GB ram with the nVidia 7600 GT video card. Can someone please tell me if the flight sim 'X-Plane' would work with this platform? I have not picked up any joysticks or control wheels as I wasn't sure whether or not the computer was flight sim capable or not.
My old dell pc was to some degree, but it was too old to modify enough to make flight sim games worthwhile. Any help would be appreciated.

Off the top of my head I would expect it to work just fine. You can download the demo of version 8 and see how it goes. You can drive with the mouse and keyboard in the demo mode for about 10 minutes. It's a big download, but worth the wait.
You've probably already discovered x-plane.org? It's a web site for rabid x-plane fans. I'd post your question there and I'm suspecting you'll get a lot of responses. They are pretty helpful in my experience.
FYI - I'm running x-plane version 8 on my iMac without a hitch. There is actually one small hitch in the video drivers for my Mac (uses a ATI card) that does not display runway lights properly, but I think that should not be an issue for you. (The X-plane author claims it is an Apple/ATI deficiency in the video drivers for the new iMac. Version 9 works around the problem I am told).

Flight Sim X

I m trying to load Flight Sim X in my Touch Smart 300 / 64bit / windows 7, but my DVD reader cannot read it!!!!
Does someone has the same problem? When I go to my computer, DVD drive shows nothing in it, can't read

Brunno, welcome to the forum.
It sounds like you may have a bad FltSim X disc. I suggest trying the disc in a friends computer to see if it works.

Microsoft Flight Sim question

Hello!
I really would like to play Microsoft Flight Sim on my iMac. I was wondering, if install XP, would Flight Sim work at 100% or should I get a cheap PC?
Thanks!
James

Running Windows on a Mac through Boot Camp is no different then running Windows on any other PC. So if Fligh Sim runs on Windows, it will run on your Mac.

Just got a used iphone 3gs and it won't see my sim card what can I do?

Seems your story has changed... not seeing is not the same as not supported.
If the phone is carrier locked, you need a SIM from the carrier it's locked to to activate it. The sim does not have to be active, it just has to be one from that carrier.

DVD drive won't read disks at boot

I have a Paviliton DV6-2113sa running Win7 HP 64bit.
I removed Acronis True Image and when I rebooted I got a BSOD at the point when the coloured balls should merge into one.
I thought OK, put the system repair disk into the DVD drive and boot up, but the drive is failing to read any recovery dosks. I think the drive has packed up as I haven't used it for some time.
Can I use any replacement drive in this model or must I get the same one again?
The drive light flickers as though it is reading data but it doesn't 'spool up' to speed and I don't get the 'press any key to load from DVD'.
The BSODs are a seperate issue which I think running a system repair will fix but I can't as the drive won't read data.
Is it possible to put the repair disk files onto a 4gb USB stick and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks.

Hi Peeps
I had exactly the same problem with my Macbook, again from the UK. Really weird though as would intermittantly read DVD film's which worked fine previously.
Well.... Took it to my local Apple store and saw a genius and anyway they replaced the super drive and logic board (surprised about the logic board!).
But just got it back today and the DVD drive is completely fubard so is being returned tomorrow to get this sorted!
Moral of the story, sounds like a drive or board problem. Will keep you updated when I get mine back
Macbook 2Ghz, 512Mb, 60Gb, Superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.7)
