The Bios keeps change the setting every time I start up my laptop!
My laptop is satellite L500, Bios v 1.9
the problem is every time I start the computer the bios changes the setting and tries to boot from the LAN.
when I press F2 and go to boot section I only found the CD, FDD and LAN, I found no HDD tab!
so every time I have to load the default configuration and restart to access the OS!
any idea how to fix this problem?
for your info I've bought this laptop only 4 months ago - so I believe the Bios battery is fine- it was working normally but about one month ago this problem started .
Thanks in advance
Can you get into the OS?
Normally when you go to the boot menu (F12) there should be a Hard disk option. If it is not listed then you possible have a bad hard disk. When the hard drive is not seen it will try to boot to the next boot option, in this case the LAN.

Earphone volume goes to highest setting every time i start the app
I plug my Apple Earbuds into my Iphone. I turn the volume down ...then i go into the music app and press play and the volume jumps to the highest setting every time. This is dangerous and painful to my ears . How do make the volume stay turned down when starting playing music????
Hi Derek:
Since you're experiencing the issue more than once, I'd suggest that you try something a little more extreme.
Do you happen to have a hard drive around that you could use as a secondary boot drive? I'd try a clean install of Mac OS X with a clean install of Final Cut Pro X. Then, either manually copy your current FCP X projects to the clean install drive or use Migration Assistant. Since Mac OS X 10.10 was just released, you'll probably have to go with the latest versions of the OS and FCPX.
The main goal (as time consuming and inconvenient as it is) is to get you to a stable FCP setup. Avoid installing anything else until you have verified that FCP works as expected.
A Thunderbolt, FireWire800 or USB3 drive will work well. Use USB2 _only_ if you can't create a boot drive via one of those three (USB2 is aggravatingly slow).
If you've never used an alternate boot drive, it's very easy to do. If you need more instructions, I could add them to this post.

Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?
I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?
Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.<br />
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.<br />
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.<br /> -
ITunes 10.7 keeps asking for password every time it starts
So, ever since updating to iTunes 10.7, it *continually* asks me for my Apple ID password twice every time I start iTunes.
This is getting quite annoying. Is this a bug, or is there something that needs to be set to make this stop happening?Have you ever been able to successfully remain connected to this wifi? Do any other devices connect and stay connected to this wifi? Have you checked to see if there is a firmware update for your router? The last step would be to restore your iPhone, first from a backup and if that doesn't work, then as a new device, or not from a backup. See this support document about restoring http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

every time i start my computer says update 3.6.12 ready to install. no matter how many time i have clicked install i get a message -- partail update not be applied. i all ready have 3.6.12 and cant get the thing to stop
It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
If a reboot is needed then that usually means that some (security) software is blocking files or you need elevated Administrator permissions.<br />
Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as ... : Administrator).
If that still causes the same problem then remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install. You need to download a fresh copy of the full version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html -
Reinstalls every time. As well as this irritation why is there no filter in the Add-ons site to differentiate between what's compatible with CC2014 and other add-ons built for earlier iterations of Creative Cloud. Surely there should be?

This is my first mac so I'm still getting my bearings with it. I've only used Windows programmes before. I can't understand why it's so hard to change the date format of the cells in Numbers to keep it showing the UK format. The system preferences of the mac show that it's in the correct region and has the correct date but this doesn't seem to transfer into the Numbers program. I was very impressed with the mac until I discovered this. If anyone knows how I can get the date to stay in the correct format without having to go through the process of altering it in the cell inspector everytime then I would be very grateful.
Numbers & most apps, especially those from Apple, use the date format you have set in System Preferences > Language & Text > Region. You can then choose UK from the Region drop-down list. Mine says Custom because I've defined things further as in the second screenshot.

Why does java want administrator permission to change my system every time I start Firefox?
Java is runtime 6, update 31. What's up? It is _not_ set to run as administrator and _not_ set for any compatibility mode.
First, please update your Firefox. Firefox 3.6.8 is extremely out of date, unstable and insecure. Please read [[Updating Firefox|Updating Firefox]].

HT2478 how do you make the setting to change desktop background every time you shut down your mac
how to make setting to change desktop background every time you close your mac
because i want to make it if anybody tries to change my dekstop picture i want it to go backto set desktop pictureDon't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture. -
Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari?
Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari and why does my history keep clearing?
I want to save my bookmarks for my favorite pages but every time I close Safari the default ones (Apple, iCloud, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo, News and Popular) re appear.
Basicaly I want Google instead of Twitter and Yahoo and I also don't want it to keep clearing my history.Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.
