BIOS SETTINGS so usb floppy and external cd/dvd player work
Boot the laptop while holding down the ESC key. It'll beep at you and display 'Check system. Then press [F1] key'. Press the F1 key. This gets you into bios settings. The keys to navigate through this are shown at the bottom of the screen.
There's four things you want to change from their default settings.
In the 'Peripheral' section:
Set 'USB-FDD Legacy Emulation' to 'Enabled'
In the 'Boot Priority' section:
Set 'Boot Priority' to any option where 'FDD' comes before 'HDD'
Use the PgDn key to move to the next screen.
In the 'Configuration' section:
Set 'Device Config.' to 'All Devices'
In the 'PC Card' section:
Set 'Controller Mode' to 'CardBus/16-bit'
The boot priority option is only needed for the install (and you may be able to boot from CD if you set the PC card controller correctly .

Hi
Well, as far as I know the USB-FDD emulation is needed if you use the WinNT on your notebook. This option has no influence on WinXP or on other Windows OS.
You need a Toshiba Mobile PCMCIA - CD-ROM/DVD compatible drive to boot or to install the OS from CD.
If you want to buy one so I recommend to order this part from the ASP because you will be 100% sure that you can boot from this drive.
Bye

Regarding IOS 7 activation lock. For people who are not early adopter or wealthy, relying on second hand purchase to own an IOS 7 device, has any consideration been given? Online purchases are routine. In good faith, many will now suffer for not knowing

I am part of the second hand market, non early adopter, that's trying to use an IOS 7 device. I just bought an Ipod touch 5th gen and an Iphone 5 with IOS 7 and quickly learn that I've just lost many hundreds of dollars because of the activation lock. Of course, I should have known better...be smarter, etc. Now I have two bricks, basically fancy Apple product that're now junks. With IOS 7 and the activation lock, isn't Apple concerns that they will soon frustrate a lot of new and existing users and will also be known for creating increasing number of junk (brick) devices.

Hi Tilnow,
The hope is that the activation lock will deter future thieves. Apple has long been inundated with irate customers who have had their devices lost or stolen, and who are then angry that Apple cannot protect their phone from would-be thieves.
With the new security measures, unless the owner of the phone turns off Find My iPhone, and wipes the phone completely, it is unusable to anyone but that original owner.
I'm sorry you have had such an unfortunate experience with your purchases, but these security measures are as much to protect you from purchasing a stolen phone from an unscrupulous seller as it is to protect a phone you own from being stolen.
Is there no way you can contact the seller(s) and have them turn off Find My iPhone and wipe the device for you?
Going forward, it is the best policy for you to ensure that the seller has done both of these things. If they cannot, then you know that they are probably not on the up and up.
Best of luck going forward,
Cheers,
GB

Available Space in 'Get Info' for HDD does not match with the files

I have a 75G HDD on this Macbook. The 'Get Info' for the HDD says I only have 1G of space available. However, when I go item by item in the HDD, and total the sizes myself, it only totals to 30G of space being used.
Anyone heard of this problem before? Are there files hiding somewhere? How can I get more useful space on this HDD?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
use something like Disk Inventory; JDisk Report or OmniDisk Sweeper to really find out what is consuming your disk space.

OSX hides quite a lot of system files from the user for the sake of safety.
What to delete and what not is your choice.

HT3576 How do show actual weather info for location I am in with the notification center. I am in the San Fernando

I live in the San Fernando Valley and I get weather info for the Los Angeles area. Is there a way to change the pull down notification center to provide correct weather info?

I understand what you have explained. Everything is set properly. However, does not solve the issue. I know how to add cities, but you cannot select these cities for pull down notification weather info. I guess this is something that happens in our area. I live in 91343 and it shows info for 90012. Thanks for trying.

Why is there no exchange program for people who bought ipad2 before the release date of ipad3

I sold my iPad 64g 3g on 12 December 11 so I could buy and iPad 2 64g 3G iPad2 on Xmas then three months later ipad3 comes out I have been I contact with apple support and they tell me to sell it on the returns program they would offer me £300 for it I payed £700 with three years cover plan.
I would have been happy to wait three months if I was notified that there was an iPad 3 release date but nothing came out .
So I ask apple and you why is there no exchange program in place for new owners of iPad 2 to be able to exchange for iPad 3 this is good business for the support we give apple in buying they're products time after time

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Rhetorical Question: "Have you heard that juicy rumor about the 'iPad X' yet?"
Apple, as a rule, does not announce hardware products far in advance of actual ordering availability.
More importantly, the Terms of Service for users Apple Support Communities does not permit such speculation here.
There were rumors and speculation about capabilities of the 'iPad 3' published online within hours of the release of the iPad 2 one year ago. If you want to 'keep up' with the rumors, I suggest taking few moments every month to visit websites like The Unofficial Apple Weblog (tuaw.com), and The Apple Insider (appleinsider.com), among others. You'll find a wealth of information about current products as well as plenty of rampant speculation about future products and projected release dates there.
Regarding 'trade-in' or 'trade-up', Apple has built their organization to manufacture and market new devices, media, and software. As you discovered with your original iPad, the best solution may be to sell your current device privately and buy a new one if you have a compelling need to upgrade to the latest model.
And, try as I might, I've never convinced my local car dealer to take my 3-month-old vehicle with 3,000 miles in equal trade for the shiny new model that was just introduced. But honestly, I'm buying run-of-the-mill 'daily transportation', not collectible automotive-works-of-art that will appreciate in value over time.

Can iPod be set to monophonic for people who are deaf in one ear?

Thanks.

When ripping CDs, you have the option on ripping to mono. There is no setting for existing music that I know of.

My old boss is using info that is still being sharded with the mac i used. She is violating my privacy. How can I disconnect with that computer. I do have its serial

I quit my job 5 weeks ago and just found out that my old boss is reading all my text, email, facebook, etc on my macbook air that I used while employed. How can I stop sharring info with that computer.I have its serial#, etc

Change the password on your iCloud account and on any other email accounts.
If you had Find My Mac setup on the Mac Air you could log in to your iCloud account at iCloud.com, go to the Find My Mac section and either wipe the Air clean or lock it.
That's pretty drastic and might bring consequenses.

With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

Thank you.

My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

Are people who are having prob with iTunes 8.2 & iPhone OS3.0 using Intego?

I am wondering whether people who are having problems with iTunes and iPhone are using Intego's Netbarrier? I couldn't download OS3.0 until I turned off Banner and eventually the whole thing. Is this the cause of my problems? My iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.2.

I want to withdraw this question as it unfairly associates many problems with this one company and application. The problems are not just related to this software. I apologize to Intego if this appeared accusatory.
I have since found answers to all of the questions posed for the iPhone 3.0 update. Only one was related to Intego and its firewall.
Thanks.

Can i put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

I'm going to be out of the country for a few weeks. I have an iPhone 4s. Can I put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

No. Sorry. Check with your carrier. Perhaps they offer such a service.
