Was working fine and then....
Ok, my mac was fine yesterday.
I have an Imac 20" inch 2 gb of ram...
I had shut it down, and I turned it back on. It came up but started running sluggishly. So It ended up freezing, so i held the power button down. Now it's stuck at the apple white screen with the little spinning thing. I have logged in via single user mode, and tried to run fsck -fy... It gets to checking catalog file... and sits... then an error comes up....
Failed to issue COM RESET successfully after 3 attempts. Failing...
then
AppleAHCIDiskQueueManager::setPowerState(0x4079c00, 2 -> 1) timed out after 190049
I don't know what to do. I just need to know if its the hard drive took a crap or something more serious... or if something simple... I don't have a retail cd but I am trying to find one...
I have boot camp installed, and windows booted up once... Ran fine for a little then kinda froze... so i'm not sure... Is there something i can do if i can get the windows side running? Please help me out as I have no idea where to look up error codes...
I also tried target mode from my powerbook to my imac... and it just kinda freezes when I try to look at the volume..... anything... Please help...
Thanks in advance,
Samuel
well mine was a bad hard drive... that was the problem... Now whether or not an update can cause a hard drive to fail.... not sure.... But i bought a new 500gb hd off of newegg it was only $60... so not too bad... Taking apart the mac sucked though... hahahaha.... get a suction cup... and lift the screen... i broke my hd temp sensor though... so the fan was running at like 5000 rpm.... i got fancontrol and went to the terminal and found out the correct command to set the hd fan to MAX speed of 3500...
/Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F1Mx -w 3e80
everything is working good now...

HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook-It was working fine and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.
I own a HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook. The OS is Win 7 64bit. I made 4 partitions after formatting the 1TB HDD as the C drive would not reduce to the 40GB size I wanted through disk management.
It was working fine till now and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.
I talked to customer support and they said it was a OS problem and I should order a set of 6 Recovery DVDs. i want to know if using the HP recovery disk
1) Has an option to repair the system and leaves the disk partition unchanged?
2) It resets the notebook to factory condition?
3) There is an option of recovery disk which I should specifically ask for?
Thanks!!Hi RanSri,
I understand you are having issues with the HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook.
You can restore it to a previous time when it was working correctly.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Epson WF-3521 printer was working fine and then suddenly stopped
Printer has been working fine since we bought it but tonight I suddenly began receiving an error message stating that the printer is offline. I have turned both off and on checked to ensure they are both on the correct router, but then problem persists.
Here's a relatively easy way to make sure the printer has the latest firmware, which may well solve your issue:
There is a free app in the App Store called Epson iPrint. Download and install it on your iPad, then open it, and see if it sees your printer. If so, click Maintenance in the lower left, and then click Printer Settings on the bottom. Then click Firmware Update. It will detect if your printer has the latest firmware and install it if not.
Hopefully that will fix your issue. -

All my devices have stopped working. Everthing says offline even though I know they are on and functioning.
Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out. -
This is so frustrating! I plugged my Iphone 4S into my computer to update it via Itunes and now it says I have to restore to factory settings and will lose all of my contacts, photos, and applications I have downloaded. All I was really wanted to do was delete photos that uploaded from my home computer and took up all the space on my phone! GRRRR I hate this
If you are using the iphone as designed then you should lose very little or nothing.
You should be syncing contacts with your computer regularly, so all of your contacts should be on your computer and you can sync them back.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any attempt to update.
You should be transferring all purchases made on your iphone to your computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

My Acrobat Pro IX license was activated and was working fine. Then the application stop launching after an update was by Adobe. After a while I uninstalled the application successfully, logged on to my adobe account, viewed past purchases, re-downloaded the application successfully, activated the license and entered my serial number. The next day I get a pop up message that my trial licenses is set to expire in 29 days. I clicked again to activate my license and this time, the message stated that the license for serial number has been revoked.
How do I resolve this matter?

My screen wont turn on, and the screen is black. It was working fine, but then it just turned off. The only way it will work is if I close my laptop, and pinch the two screens together
You have a hardware problem and you should take it into a apple store to be looked at and fixed.

Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.
There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
There are a couple of avenues for you
Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong. -
