Tecra S1 does some noise

There seems to be a lot of noise suddenly coming from the hard drive, not sure if I may need to replace it, anyone any suggestions as to what could be causing this.
Many Thanks
Steve

Check your HDD with a SMART monitoring tool. There are many available on the internet. Google for SMART HDD.
There are some indicators for a dying hard disk. One is raw read errors. If the tool shows many raw read errors you should replace it.

    My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
    Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
    The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

    Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • My mac book pro does not boot up correctly anymore after doing some updates. I did have my ipod charging to my mac book. I ran the simple updates and never go to the maverick update and now my computer will not boot correctly. Help!

    Please help my computer is not repsonding after doing some simple updates. I follow the instructions and which is simply click for the update to take place. I did what I was instructed to do. I did not do the new update for the Mavericks yet. I just did simple updates. The computer shutted down and restarted but would never get pass the grey screen with the spinning wheel and the booting bar that would not go past a certain point befor shutting off again. The computer is practically brand new. I purchased the computer from best by 2012 and the warrenty just ended the past October. I hardly use the computer maybe 4 times since I have had it because I have another main computer that I uses. However, I don't want to do a hard rest becuase I do have the entire adobe suits software that I paid for and don't want to loose. I have an appointment with apple today to see what they say but I hope that my computer that I hardly every use is not defected after doing a updated pushed by Apple. Any thoughts or suggestions???? Thanks in advance Apple Family :-)

    Well, I was at Apple for sometime on that day. I got a Genius that did not want to work. She basically jumped to the money to tell me that my hard drive was no good and that I was out of warranty (October 2013). I began to explain to her that I had only used the computer 5 times and that I don't use this computer as my main computer because I also have a Toshiba that is less expensive that I have had for several years and not one issue out of it. The rep told me that I could by a new hard drive for $161.00 and that I would loose all of my software and photos that I have on this computer. However, I told her that it's bazaar that it happens right after my warranty goes out and had I used it more often when in warranty before October then I would have been covered. Keeping in mind that I would still be very disappointed with the product because I would loose all of my information and it would not make sense to me why the hard drive fails on a very gently used computer. So I asked for a manager and it took her some time to get one. In the mean time I watched how the other Geniuses interacted with the other customers and seen that they were very engaging with convo and very help. I guess I just I got another lemon when I got my rep. When the manager finally came. I went from A-Z with the issues and that I felt that something could or should be done because the rep said that she did tests on my machine and it read to her that my hard drive was bad and there was nothing that could be done. I explained that I was not looking forward to paying for services to have my new computer repaired. The manager offered to give me 25% off the cost but I still didn't feel that it was effective. After he left and the rep wrote the notes in the system, I told her that I didn't think that all options had been exhausted and that there was something else that could be done. I told her to erase the machine and see if the updates could be installed and if the system would continue to do the same thing. The rep was hesitant and said that I would loose everything which we already know that we were at conclusion from the beginning. She assured me that I would happen again and that I would need a new hard drive. I just told her to erase the machine and get me another manager because I was just getting tired of her unhelpfulness and negative perspective. The new manager came and was very pleasant and I explained everything once again from A-Z. I informed him that I had the machine erased and that I need his help with options because I don't feel that the rep or the last manager was resourceful or helpful. He apologies for the actions of the reps and proceed to tell me that they will run all the updates in the store and that if it booted correctly that I should continue to use the machine with out adding the adobe software back on just incase that it crashes again and I'm out of money once again. However, if it does happen again and it is a hard drive issues that he would work with me to resolve the issues. As my computer went through the process of rebooting from out of the box stage another rep approached me because he could tell that I was upset and not happy. I told he what had happen and he said I think I can help you a little more. He said that I just want to run further testing on you computer for different components to make sure that everything would work properly and pin point any issues. I was delighted with that option. Anything would help at this time especially someone who is willing to help. The first test that he ran was to for the hard drive and he said that since it failed the test the first time could be because the software update glitch and did update correctly which would make the test faulty and be negative. As I sit with finger crossed the test came back as a pass test that my hard drive was not the issue and that the update was the cause and that I did not have to buy a new hard drive. I was happy that the computer was ok but I lost information. All of the updates were done in the store and everything works fine now. If I was not persistent about my gut feeling then I would had left out thinking that I had to pay for a new hard drive that I really didn't needed. Now I can invest that money in a external hard drive to start backing up my information. Lesson learned by I'm still on the fence about things but I hope all is well. I really went through a lot. No help or no service was not an option that I was taken.  I hope that it helps.

  • Why does some of my text in imessage get underlined?

    Why does some of the text in my imessages get automatically underlined, and how do I change this please?

    Is it underlining phone numbers, links? You cannot change it when highlighted blue. If it is underlined red then it has registered as a spelling error. Try going to (Settings > General > Keyboard) There, you can turn off "Check Spelling" and it will no longer underline any words.

    After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    You should be getting an error message that PS CS5 requires a higher version of ACR with two options "render using Lightroom" or "open anyway". You should choose the first option. If you are not seeing the error message then go to your Lightroom prefrences >General Tab> under Prompts> select "Reset all warning dialogs", then try the edit in function again.

    I want to reinstall CS4 as it has been doing some strange things regarding printing, etc. However, when I did this before, it created a major problem and I ended up buying a new computer because no one could figure out why it kept hanging up during the installation. Hours on the phone, no results. I'm scared to do it on this computer. Should I try? Not even the Adobe support could get it resolved. I believe it was somehow reading a product number that could not be deleted or something, and nothing worked.

    Hello, as an addition:
    In your case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" as Keith wrote.
    Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
    1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part - as it seems unlike you - had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

  • My iPad is doing some strange things. Any suggestions???

    Hi everyone
    Thanks for taking time to read this. My iPad is doing some odd things and I think it's been sicne iOS 4.2 update. The problems I'm having are:
    1) I installed The Sun newspaper app a few months back and it's been workng fine but recently it's having problems loading saying it cannot contact the server and to try later. My ISP says nothing is blocked their side. The Sun say everything is fine their side. I've updated my router but still no good. Now and again and with no pattern it will all of a sudden work. Interestingly thought, it works fine with my 3 MiFi dongle. The News Of The World App does the same thign, yet The Times and Financial Times apps work fine.
    2) When surfing on Safari it will now and again say there was a problem displaying the page. I refresh a few times and it will load. When it's saying it can't display the page I have jumped on my Windows 7 laptop and accessed the page fine.
    I have done a restore from back up and also a restore and setup as a new device. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the problem apps but to no avail.
    Anyone got any suggestions?
    Thanks again in advance.

    Hi,
    1. Try resetting network settings. Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
    2. For Safari. Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the history, cookies, and cache.
    Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    See if you notice an improvement. If not, try syncing but omit the Sun app.
    And try contacting the Sun app developer support.

  • Amnesty International, Make Some Noise Album - DRM Protected?

    Hi,
    I am wondering if the Amnesty International, Make Some Noise Album is corrupted with Apples DRM protection. I would very much like to buy this album and support Amnesty, but I am not going to do so if the songs I pay for are not going to play on a portable media player other than Apple's iPod.
    If anybody knows the status of this album can you post a reply please.
    Steve

    I assume you are talking about the "Instant Karma" album in support of Darfur? If that is correct, the CD is DRM protected. As of right now, the only DRM free downloads are from EMI. No other record company has agreed to offer DRM free files.

  • I have windows 7 (PC) and am doing some work for school. I need to transfer my work to a MAC computer, how do I do this?

    I have windows7 (PC) an am doing some work for a school project. I need to be able to transfer my work to a MAC at school. How can I make sure it will work on the MAC?

    If they are Photoshop files, just place them on a FAT or FAT32 formatted Flash drive. Both the Mac and PC can recognize the drive.
    Make sure your files have an extension .jpg/.png/.psd and so on.
    Photoshop Mac or PC can open the files.

    Basically every time my modem is reset, the noise margin is 6.3dB and then after that, each day it drops off another 0.1-0.3 until it gets to 5.4dB why is that ? Obviously The reason I ask is, if it gets too low it will reset my modem by itself won't it? Could the modem be the reason.

    this is what i mean guys, i know that one of them is 5.9 and the others 5.8 but why is there so much of a difference
