Which version is it - MSI K9A2 CF / CF-F / CF-F V2 ? Please help.
I have a problem with checking the version of my mobo. Your how-to named Will this CPU work on my board? is not clearly answering my question.
I've also seen this thread close to my problem https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126852.40
My motherboard HAS a red mosfet heatsink but there is NO sticker on it telling "MSI K9A2 CF-F V2". On the box there IS a "125W CPU support" sticker but NO stickers "AM3 CPU Ready" or "AMD Phenom II CPU support". White sticker on the box tells it's K9A2 CF-F while the box and the manual are marked by CF.
The questions are:
1. Which version is it - CF / CF-F / CF-F V2?
2. Which version of BIOS has this specific edition?
3. Will it run my Phenom II 955 out of the box or this specific edition has a too old BIOS?
4. In the case of updating BIOS the only way to do it is to get older AM2/AM2+ processor (the supported by BIOS actually installed on mobo)?
Hope someone practically experienced with this exotic motherboard knows the main answer. It's really easy to get confused about.
The sticker & red HS was only on the earlier V2 MB's, they used the same MB so that was the reason for the sticker. The later ones don't have the sticker but still had the red HS. Yours is one of the latest after they stopped using the sticker. The way that was handled by MSI just made it confusing to a lot of people but I kept track of it more less so when someone came along like you I could give them the information needed.
1 - Yes you have the latest version. You can use whatever CPU is in the list.
2 - All of the versions use the same BIOS. Check the BIOS chip for the number on the sticker, if you can't find it I'll be back soon with a picture of it's location.
3 - It may or may not depending on how old a BIOS came on it from the factory. It might run as 'unknown processor' if it has a late enough BIOS but not the correct one for that CPU. If it runs with that CPU as 'unknown processor' then you can leave it in and then update BIOS to the latest one.
4 - If no go as said above then yes you would need to use another supported CPU to flash BIOS.
>> Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher <<
Edit: Heres BIOS chip location, last 3 digits in the chip is version #. Example 100 =1.0, 130 =1.3 and so on.

My iPhone recently broke so I was sent a brand new iPhone to replace it, however, since receiving this phone, I cannot access anything which was previously backed up onto iCloud from my last iPhone. Please help me!
If you are trying to restore to an iCloud backup, this has to be done during the initial setup process. If your phone is already set up, you will have to go back to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content & Settings, then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to complete.
Also, your replacement phone must be running the same iOS version or higher to restore to your backup. If you are running an older version of iOS than the device that was backed up, your backup will not be visible when you choose to restore to your iCloud backup. If this is the case, you'll have to update your replacement phone first. -

Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 6 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

When I try to open iPhoto (9.2.1) it says 'You can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of OS X. All my photos are on there. Please help. Thank you.
Did you upgrade to a new MacOS X version? Then you need to update iPhoto as well.
Only iPhoto 9.6 is compatible with MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite. Update from the Mac App Store.
Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
Check the "Updates" tab of the App Store for an iPhoto update and run the update.
When you laugh iPhoto after the update, it will warn you, that the library needs upgrading, That may take a while.
Just in case that you see a warning, that the update is not possible because of an error message: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ -

The Firefox is crashing unexpectedly once or twice a day.
I have installed Firebug addon (Extension) which is very much essential extention for me. Henceforth I cannot remove that.
But to resolve this problem I tried complete uninstallation & reinstalling the different firefox version with their compatible firebug addon.
But still the firefox is crashing. Can someone please help me out.The usual advice is to disable Firebug when you are not using it, which is not helpful in your case. Other advice is to create a new profile with Firebug as the only add-on.
I would expect that adding to memory would help.
You could have other problems. As a start you could try disabling Hardware Acceleration. Options>Advanced>General>Browsing>uncheck Use hardware acceleration . . . If that helps you could try updating your graphics card or getting a new one but that isn't really necessary.
After that you could give troubleshooting a try(Safe Mode, Problematic extensions etc) -

Went to open a file in words and got message. "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have latest version. All other files in words open w/o a problem. Please help.
Thank you.
<Email Edited by Host>You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
