Time to throw in the towel? You judge please..
Okay, so I have an HP Touchsmart tx2z tablet PC. AMD Turion X2 Ultra Duo-Core Mobile ZM-86. 2.4 GHz. Hard drive 500GB. RAM 8GB. Windows 7 64-bit.
I'm currently dealing with an issue where the tablet seems to auto-restarts itself, with no warning. Moreover, the screen can freeze on me, with lines and pixels. And also, several blue screen of death messages appear. though they're not frequent.
Here's my dilemma: I took the tablet to an I.T professional who told me it is most likely a fan issue so the heat-sink needs to be replaced because as a result of the tablet overheating, it will keep auto-restarting itself. However, it keeps happening. Now i'm told it is most likely a video card issue that's causing everything.
I don't want to keep throwing my money around because the next explanation will involve a hard drive issue, motherboard issue, RAM issue, etc, etc.
I would like to know what ya'll think? Here are some pictures of the issue:

Okay, you need to call the medical facility and try to pay the bills off that way first. Be honest and explain your situation just like you did here. Ask them if they can recall your accounts from collections and you would be happy to pay them. Just know this, they have the power to recall these accounts if they want to. You need to make sure that your sob story is powerful enough to get them to do this. Be prepared to pour it on when you make this call. If you are successful at having the accounts recalled this would be your best and easiest way to pay off the collections. I can't say this enough, you need this phone call to be successful. Stay on the phone until they agree to recall your bills. Write down a list of questions before you make this call that you can ask them if they say no. Keep asking questions. Keep them on the line until they say yes. Keep asking them to recall the accounts. Tell them you don't want to deal with that MEAN woman at the CA. She had you in tears the last time you spoke with her. Like I said...Pour it on. Please don't make any actual payments until you stop back here and let us know what has transpired. Once you make the first payment you are committed. As long as you owe them money you are in the driver's seat. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! GO GET'EM!!! Good luck!+1 Excellent advice here. Even if this doesn't work and the CA won't do a pay-for-delete, pay the collections anyway and google the HIPAA removal process (we are not allowed to talk about it here) and then you can contact the creator for help. Medical collections tend to be the easiest to get off your reports. Good luck and YOU CAN DO THIS!

When is it time to throw in the gloves?
Once you stop learning and stop enjoying what you are doing, then it becomes just a JOB like all the other slobs out there have... it could be time to quit and change careers...Or it could be time to change employers... then if it keeps happening, change careers...Just remember to do something you really like to do or love to do (possibly a hobby) and you will never feel like you are going to work...I'm actually working on a side venture myself with a relative... it is not formal IT but in a sense it is related and it does take advantage of my natural computer savvy. I am hoping it takes off so I can quit my second IT job and replace it with a higher paying gig, which hopefully will allow me to retire at some point before I am 85...Let us know what you are thinking of doing and how it works out for you.Good Luck!!
Anyone ever feel like just quitting I.T. and start your next big adventure? I have a few ideas that I have been wanting to work on. With the big changes going on at work I think I may finally overcome my laziness and start to pursue them.
So my question is... When do you think it is a good time to throw in the gloves and just walk away?

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot

iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

HELP! Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.
If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection. -

Ive tried from my PC, and ive tried from another which runs Vista. Both pc's were tried using firefox, IE and chrome,and both had firewalls off and pop-ups allowed completely (I basically turned off all security). I checked for 3rd party software which could also cause "blocks" but all 3rd party software were eliminated. I even tried stopping and restarting windows installer in "computer management; services, services". Still no luck..... This is the first time that ive struggled downloading Itunes. The reason im trying to download itunes is because im attempting to restore my iphone 4.....

itunes showing 'backup is corrupt or not compatible with the firmware you restored'.Please help.
Hi Ckuan,
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Deleting the correupted back up means to delete the information of one month since the last back up I made is one month ago.....right?
This back up I made right before I restored my iphone. During the restore however my OS was upgraded to 5.1.1. and reading the comments on the internet it seems I am not the only one whom experience this problem.
Can it be that if I downgrade my OS back to 5.1. the back up will not be considered as corrupted? If so, how do I downgrade the iphone?
Thanks in advance. -
I used certain secured websites every day. And every day, I get the same old "connection is untrusted" messages, on every one of those websites. I do know the "add exception" thing, and I do add the exception for said websites... yet every time I start a new sessions, the exception hasn't been stored, and I have to do it all over again. It's getting really frustrating to use Firefox, since I am sick and tired of adding exceptions that aren't getting stored. I haven't added any new add-ons, only thing I have is Mc-Afee Site Advisor , and I had the same problem before I had to upgrade my Windows XP to Windows 7. One day it was working fine, then it started giving me trouble out of nowhere without new software or extension or anything being added. Nothing I've found online works, and I'm desperate for an answer.
You can retrieve the certificate and check who issued the certificate.
* Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
* Click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer. -
(sigh) Can someone please help??? I'm ready to throw in the towel on my SECOND Mic
So my first Zen Micro froze on me. No amount of tech support could save it. I returned it and received a new replacement. Within days my replacement had begun to freeze, and I would bravely pull out the battery and reboot it. I think (keep your fingers crossed) that I've unstuck whatever that bug was. NOW - my new issue - the dreaded "No license to play - please sync from PC" error. So, reluctantly, I downloaded the 2..05 Beta firmware, which as far as I understood it, resolved this issue specifically. After a successful download and install, I rebooted in hopes that it would be fixed. Well, it's still giving me the error. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. And I am down to one download on all of my Napster 2 Go songs (due to the same problem on my first Micro). So I have three choices:
) Ask all of you what I can to do get this resolved easily.
2) Delete my entire library, and use my last sync license and load it all onto my Micro again (which is a good hour project)
3) Gi've up an buy an iPod. I am pulling out my hair in frustration, and I'm telling you... I always felt the same way you all did about Apple and the iPod. But the reality is, NONE of my friends have my harware/software issues. All I ask for is two consecuti've weeks of listening to my MP3 player without license issues, frozen hard dri'ves, reboots, pulling out the battery numerous times, etc. I just want to listen.... turn it off.... and know that it will turn back on again when I want it to.
Someone please help, and convince me that I should give this one last shot!!megasister wrote:

Well, it's perfectly understandable that your iPod-bearing friends don't have issues with N2Go, because they can't use it!
So I guess you have to determine whether your problems lie with the actual player or the N2Go service.
Do you have problems playing/synching songs you've ripped yourself or that you've bought from a service other than N2Go? -
Ready To Throw In The Towel...ugh!!
So I started working on rebuilding my credit and paying off some old debts in June. I significantly raised my scores from low 500's to almost 600 across the board to date. Last week, I started working on the medical collections. I called the CA and asked to have a print out of all my accounts in collections. The facility uses a particular CA. There are many that I have. Each visit etc counts as a separate account. The CA was very nice, said she would call me back once she got all accounts and exactly how much I owed in order. I was planning on calling them back, because I hadn't heard nothing back from her. Today, I got alerts of a new collection account and a change in my FICO score. I looked and OMG, 8 new collections accounts were addded from the CA that I spoke with last week. My scores took an 18 point nose dive! I'm so mad, because she never called me back and let it hit my reports. Yes, I owe these debts. I have had the worst 2 years of my life, wasn't ignoring the bills intentionally....the company I worked for went bankrupt, couldn't find work, I put myself through nursing school and my daughter had major medical bills. I had to survive until I found work, so hence, the medical bills had to wait. I am now in the position to make good on my past obligations and trying to do so. I just don't know what to do now, so frustrated and upset! Sorry, just had to vent. I love this board and all of the positive members here. Thanks for all your help.

Switching to Google advice for iCal and Contacts (throwing in the towel with iCloud)
hi all.
moved back to mac about four or five years ago. i have a Mac Pro (Lion), MBP (Mavericks) and an iPhone (iOS7).
ca anyone help me with steps on how to get my Calendar and my Contacts to Google and whether there are any desktop or iPhone based apps to manage this so i don't have to login via a web browser when i need to access this information?
i have to travel soon and the inability for iCal to carry appointments across time zones is a problem for me and my Contacts seem reliably get corrupted via MobileMe/iCloud. it is /not/ fun to see duplicated contacts all the time as well as mashed up contacts (email addresses for some people in the contact for someone else's name etc.).
anyway, i would really love it if someone could help me with url's or links or even just explanations of their personal experience moving everything to google.
also, any suggestions on companion apps (such as sunrise app would be really welcome).

Hi all,
I've had a less than stellar experience with 10.6 due to the amount of 3rd party software packages I use that simply don't work well, if at all. I'd like to roll back to my 10.5 installation and wait until the software I use is more stable since my MBP is my work machine and needs to perform flawlessly. The issue is I can't remember when I installed 10.6
TM already did that for you. When you're setting-up the full restore (see item #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* ), the list of backups will include both the data & time (in *U.S. Pacific Time),* plus the OSX version of each backup. -
Begining to throw in the towel brcause of files/
Click the wrong button and open files disappear. I can't choose what files to open or simply go where I want. I created a file on desktop because I kept losing files. I try to save it and that file isn't on the menu because I haven't used it before.
Throwing towels! Duh, wasn't that obvious?

Had enough. As I said before, I have a simple application that creates a box and calls a system routine to keep it on top. It runs outside jws ok. I placed the class file and the dll file in a jar. The jar files are signed.

I tried rebooting the PRAM but still nothing.
