WinPE and FullOS Issues with Disk Numbers

So, I seem to have run into an issue where I'm trying to image up an HP Z15 laptop and it has dual HDD's in
it. While imaging it seems to just die after it boots into the full OS and try's to configure the SCCM Client. I've narrowed down the issue to the secondary HDD causing the issue. The Main drive is a SSD that's 256GB, and the additional drive in the
DVD-Rom Bay is a 750 GB drive.
When booting into WinPE Disk 0 is the SSD and Disk 1 is the 750GB. I can partition these
up just fine in PE, but when it flips to the full OS, the drive numbers change, and then the 750 GB drive where the _SMSTASKSequence folder is located is no longer accessible until it's assigned a driver letter. I was able to look in WinPE and the driver are
created correctly and look correct with drive letters and all, but once that reboot happens I was reading the PNP takes over and decides whatever it wants each disk number to be.
I know someone will say something about the drivers, I've checked those and downloaded the latest drivers from
HP for this model and nothing has changed. I've also seen where some have suggested that it's best to partition and format the main drive, then wait until in the full OS to format and partition the other drive but I need to find a way to find out which drive
# isn't formatted so that I can automate this. Part of the main issue with this whole thing is the fact that the encryption software we are using doesn't allow for a drive to be partitioned and formatted after it's installed. I'm able to image the system
up fine if I disable the secondary HDD and then just format it when the image is complete.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
>>"once that reboot happens I was reading the PNP takes over and decides whatever it wants each disk number to be."
Where were you reading this from? Logs? Is there any information in smsts.log?
>>"the _SMSTASKSequence folder is located is no longer accessible until it's assigned a driver letter"
If you reboot the computer after you assign a drive letter, does the disk still have a drive letter? If that is the case, you could try to add a startup diskpart script to assign a drive letter.
Best Regards,
Joyce

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Autocomplete and linking issues with gchat on apple messages

So I'm having a couple related(ish) problems with apple messages and gchat/hangouts/whatever it's called these days and imessage on my laptop:
1) Gchat contacts sometimes do and sometimes don't autocomplete when i cmd+n for a new message and then start typing in the 'send to' field. this occurs irrespective of whether i try to start a jabber conversation via typing their email or via typing their name. I've noticed a couple of semi-consistent factors that seem to be impacting it, at least sometimes, but can't pinpoint anything entirely consistent:
     -It seems to be more problematic with contacts that I have their (google) email address on their contacts card in my icloud account on my actual computer/iphone (as opposed to not having them linked to a contact, and them being merely listed on my gchat friends list by virtue of being imported when i created the account)
     -It seems to be more problematic with buddies that i have had more recent contact with, so that their existing conversation is closer to the top of the messages window (and plus, even this isn't entirely consistent - sometimes it lets me type and find their jabber account even if i chatted yesterday and it's second or third on the list, other times it just returns no results in the address field, and other times (when they're a contact with email address as well as phone number) it only gives me their imessage account but their jabber doesn't show up and i have to go to my buddy list to find them)
Any thoughts? It's sometimes easier to just do cmd+n and type a friend's name even if i have an existing conversation with them relatively top to the close of the list, than manually finding them in the list or looking at the buddy list or using the search bar. cmd+n typically works at least with imessage conversations, and sometimes even with jabber accounts/gchat, so it doesn't seem like this is merely a feature that doesn't exist.
2) This might be less of a bug and more of a feature, but i'm wondering if there's a way to deactivate it. A lot of my friends have both imessages and gchat, and i have their google email and phone number on their contact card. in this case, apple messages, seemingly arbitrarily, alternates back and forth betweeen gchatting them and imessaging them in the same conversation. it doesn't always correspond to their away/available status on gchat, and even when it does correspond, i'd still prefer to be able to manually override to send an imessage even if they are available on gchat, I'd prefer to just have separate conversations going for imessage and gchat (because a lot of my friends just never look at one or the other depending on whether they are or arent near their computer, so i need to be able to control where the message goes). I do have a separate jabber conversation with John Smith from their imessage, but within the imessage conversation it still sometimes switches to jabber. It seems like this only happens for contacts that have both email and imessaage on their vcard, but i'd prefer not to delete the email address from their vcard just to resolve this issue, since the email address on contact comes in handy for purposes other than gchat. is there any workaround/way to disable this auto-switching between imessage and gchat accounts in the same conversation, while keeping contacts' email and phone number linked on their vcard?
3) Some, but not all, of my android friends show up as having imessage when i type their name to contact via gchat. sometimes it says imessages for their phone number, and sometimes instead for their gmail (or both). With respect to the issue when it happens in phone number form: i've checked their contact cards and their phone number is just listed as mobile (not iphone or anything, though i'm unsure if the category of phone number actually tells the phone whether they have imessage, or if it recognizes (in this case, incorrectly) on its own). Of course the imessage won't actually send, but it's pretty annoying (especially in light of the problem from #1). Is their any way to tell messages that this person doesn't have imessage so it stops saying they do?
Couldn't decide whether to post these separately or together, but since they may or may not be related i opted for the latter. sorry for the length. searched for all 3 and didn't find anything quite on point.

Hi,
Re 1)
If a Buddy (Google, AIM or Yahoo) is in the Buddy list as just the ID or Screen Name then broadly speaking they are not in your Contacts list.
As such they will not show a "Real Name".
However any Buddy can be added to the Contacts List even if you don't add a "Real Name"
This in itself can also cause issues as the Contacts app does not create what it sees as Duplicate cards.
i.e. you cannot create two cards with the name John Smith.
It is easier if the ID/Screen Name becomes the "Real Name".
I have three Macs
On each the My Card for myself reflects the Computer it is from and those Cards are synced on my iMac.
Some of the various Jabber and AIM Screen Names are linked to the particular computers.
That means if I type "ra" as the start of my Name in the "to" spot I get this:-
First is a national breakdown service for helping out with cars (as opposed to any other breakdown)
The next is a Buddy that I have hidden.
It lists Apple ID and telephone numbers that it thinks are iMessages compatible (it thinks all numbers are valid) liked to be G4 tower's card.
It continues listing AIM, Jabber, Yahoo and other iMessages accounts as well as the Bonjour contact details.
As you can see some at the bottom are IDs and Screen Names that are not associated with any of the Address Cards.
In these cases my name from part of the ID so "ra" picks then up.
As you can see you should get AIM, Jabber (Google), iMessages and Yahoo account indicated.
That should then lead to 2)
Once in the conversation you can use the "To" spot to change which ID you are calling and therefore effectively change which service you are using.
In this Pic I have chosen to call Myself (easy with multiple accounts)
My iMac My Card has no jabber account listed so you only see iMessages and AIM option listed.
I can "call" my main AIM name (ralphjohnsr) from the other three Accounts linked to this Card.
From your end it may look like a random switch but in fact is most likely from an incoming change by the Buddy/Contact.
You can make the change by using the "To" spot and a drop down
The centralised messages in the chat should tell you of Changes as will the ID in the text field before typing
Re 3)
It will depend on what their Apple ID is.
Some have had @mac.com names for a long time and linked them to MobileMe than more recently iCloud.
Some linked their @me.com names form MobileMe to iCloud at the Change.
Most recently iCloud IDs have been given @iCloud.com emails from the start.
However any email can be used as an Apple ID.
The pic above has my Apple ID partially hidden for that lower iMessages info across the center.
You may find that some people are using their Google ID as their Apple ID AND also using it as both the iMessages registered name and the Google ID in the Messages app.
Lets explain this another way.
When iChat 1 came out Apple joined the AIM service with it (it did AIM and Bonjour which was then called Rendezvous)
At that time Apple entered in to an agreement with AIM that any Apple Issued ID would be a valid AIM Screen Name.
At that time the Apple Service was .Mac and @mac.com IDs were being issued as paid for accounts, Trial Accounts and after while Lapsed paid for accounts.
These all worked as iChat/AIM Screen Names.
Then Apple changed to MobileMe and issued @me.com IDs
The trials only lated until you ended them and the IDs no longer worked in iChat after that as valid AIM Screen Names and nor did lapsed Paid For accounts.
More recently Apple have stopped a paid for Service and moved to iCloud.
At the change you could link Any Apple ID to iCloud and you got an @me.com ID from the iCloud server (it could be the same as the on MobileMe but did seem to be "separate").
Later these became @iCloud.com IDs (Some people have both under iCloud and in some cases linking @mac.com names to MobileMe @me.com accounts for email still continues).
To be clear you could link Any existing email ID to iCloud such as Google ID.
But broadly I am speaking of gaining various Apple Issued IDs over time that may or may not be linked to one account.
These Apple Issued IDs works as Valid AIM Screen Names in Messages. (the iCloud issued ones don't work in iChat 5 or earlier though).
I linked an external to Apple dial-up Email that has been my long time Apple ID to iCloud and got an @me.com ID at first and later an @icloud.com one as well.
I can use these two separately in Messages as Valid AIM names.
Someone using their Google ID as their Apple ID could use it as the iMessages registered Name AND as the GoogleTalk/Jabber entry as well.
This might explain why it looks like they are swapping about.
There can be one other explanation and that is dependent on where they are logged in.
Obviously a GoogleTalk user can log in to the Google web Mail page and use Talk there.
Although I don't use Google+ I presume there is a similar web page to chat from there.
This would limit them to being "On Google" rather than iMessages when they sent a messages to you.
Re GoogleTalk
Obviously Android is Google.
The Account settings at Google incudes the "products" you can link and use from your Account.
Previously with a Google Mail Account that included enabling "Talk" which then allowed you to chat from the Web Mail Page login (or your chosen Jabber able app)
Now Google use Google+ and this seems to give you automatic access to "Talk" to the extent it is no longer something you have to Activate.
I am wondering if using a Android phone is linked to having a Google+ account and that the phone number can be part of that ID set up (similar to iMessages and iPhone Numbers).
If it does it would then depend if the phone is linked to both the Number and the Google ID as to what they can login as in certain situations.
I am not sure I have covered everything but I think I have covered most things.
From what you post I am not sure that there is an issue or not although I have posted what is normal and expected I think there are some fringe things that are an issue.

Address Book and Sync Issues with Verizon Curve

I got my first BB about a month ago and like it, for the most part. I have three major issues with it now:
1. SYNC I've downloaded and installed the latest software from pocket mac and my first sync went fine (I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11). Every sync after that has failed. I've tried the recommended solutions like cleaning out the sync history, re-installing, etc. I've un-installed and re-installed several times with no change. The sync begins fine and but never finishes. One thing that could be a problem is the version - every time I download the software, I've clicked on the newest version, (PocketMacForBlackBerry4.1.25.dmg) but after it installs, it calls itself Version 1.2 (1.4). Shouldn't it be 4.1? I know there are issues with older versions, but I can't seem to get 4.1 installed.
2. ADDRESS BOOK Sinse my first and only sync, I've needed to add a LOT of contacts into my address book manually. It doesn't work most of the time. When I add a new contact and save, it won't exit the contact, but pops up this note: "Address updated externally, changes will be lost and the viewer closed." The same thing happens if I'm trying to create a new entry or edit an existing entry. The real crazy part is that many of the numbers I've added show up when they are incoming calls - the name and correct phone number, but when I try to call out on my phone, the contact info will not show.
3. GPS Not a major deal, but none of the GPS services work. I use the Google Maps mobile app, but the GPS does not work. Neither does any of the other software I have installed for GPS. I have gone into the preferences and enabled the GPS and saved the changes. The logo even appears on the main screen, it just doesn't work. *NOTE* I've found that Verizon has disabled the GPS unless you pay for the VZ Navigator service. Typical Verizon marketing. Is there any way to bypass Verizon's block?
Needless to say, I'm not very impressed with Pocket Mac software of the RIM address book utility. I've read over many of the posts in this forum and see many other frustrated users. Makes me really think about throwing my money at an iPhone.
If anyone has any solutions to my problems/frustrations, I would be VERY grateful.
thanks for your time,

I cannot say I AGREE! any louder.
This pocketmac people claim in the website to offer "solutions" but they have given me lots of headaches and I too would just go and buy an iphone. The only problem is that AT&T does not work in my house.
No matter how many tricks I have tried I cannot make my 8330 accept the changes i make in my address book. It is absolutely a killer.
Some previous user said that bluettoth could help but at any rate that was to over ride the address book with the 8330 data and in my case i was trying to do the opposite.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Issue with Week Numbering !!!

Hey All,
I have an query regarding the week numbering. I need to generate a report . The Spec is as follows :
There are certain number of employees in a project with their work start date and end date with regards to the project (project assigment column). I would want to create a project report of all the employees who worked in that particular project between the weeks that i want.
Example i want to know the employees who worked in this project between the weeks 46 and 52. The input parameter is start week (just the number between 1 to 53) and the end week parameter is calculated as plus 6 weeks of the start week .
It is kinda urgent issue for me.
Plz help me ressolve the issue.

Migration Assistant and permissions issues with new Mac Pro

Hi There,
I've not had any significant issues with Migration Assistant in the past but I can't create a reliable system with my new Mac Pro.
After using Migration Assistant during the initial setup, my user account wasn't even transferred. I tried restarting but in the end, I followed these instructions to reset and run the assitant again: http://stationinthemetro.com/2013/11/10/make-mavericks-re-run-the-setup-assistan t
I've just finished running it for a second time, and while the user account is now on my new system, there are so many permissions issues that the system is unusable (I can't even run Safari). Creative cloud, 1Password, safari, Dropbox are all apps that give me Disk i/o or permissions errors.
If I look in the user folder, many directories within it have a red minus icon. I've tried fixing permissions using Disk Utility but something is not right.
In the past, the new system just boots like the old one but this time round, it asked me to create an account after Migration Assistant had finished - is this normal? I used the same username and password as before but I'm not sure Migration Assistantis working properly.
Does anyone know a full-proof way of fixing and transferring my account without having to spend hours downloading OSX for a full erase and install?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the reply,
I didn't understand exactly what to put into AppleScript sorry (never used it before) - so I just ran the following from the Terminal:
$ echo $UID
$ sudo chown -R 503 ~
And restarted - everything works now - thanks heaps.
What had happened and is this something I did or did Migration Assistant just get confused?
I have 3 new Mc Pros to setup on Monday so just want to ensure those are hassle free.
Cheers

Imessage and other Issues with 3rd Gen iPad

Hi there, just got a 3rd Gen iPad for the mrs and so far it's been great.
However, several rather annoying issues have developed and I can't seem to find the right trouble shooting for it, so I thought I'd try here.
So here they are:
iMessage & facetime don't work
Issue 1- Each time she uses her Apple ID log in for either feature a message "iMessage Activation: Could no sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". I've checked the network settings, I've reset them on the iPad and yet it seems to persist. Her appleID is valid as it works on her iPhone, which is using the same network/Wifi as the iPad, yet the iPad seems to decide it doesn't want to activate. I've signed in on my appleID and the same message seems to appear
Issue 2 - When using apps like Chrome a constant message will appear "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications" every time the app is open. This has been done, it's been backed up and it has connected to iTunes, yet these messages still pop up each time chrome is opened.

I also am having issues with my ipad mini as far as imessage . sometimes it works fine . Sometines I receive ok but it hangs on sending . i have tried everything . I think the apple server is a mess Most times I can only send If i am replying to a message i received . If i try to start a message it hangs . No reason found

Unable to log into iMessage and intermittent issues with FaceTime

Late 2011 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.8.4. I'm an admin level Windows guy but a relatively new (and otherwise very pleased) convert to Mac OS.
This morning Messages started repeatedly prompting me for my iMessage password and FaceTime has starting working only intermittently. Both work fine from my iPad and iPhone 5. Both have been working from my MacBook Pro for months.
This morning when I tried to fire up Messages on the MacBook I got an error saying "The server encountered an error processing registration". After doing some Googling, I noticed that many folks said that when they had this problem they also had an issue with FaceTime. I confirmed that FaceTime was indeed giving me the same error as iMessage. After trying some solutions from past threads that didn't work, I rebooted. Now instead of throwing an error, Messages just keeps asking me for my iMessage password again and again. FaceTime works occasionally but sometimes when I get a call and click answer, I get "call failed" as my iPhone and iPad continue to ring and then I'm asked to re-enter my password on the MacBook. If I enter my password it just sits and spins. If i quit FaceTime and start it again, it'll usually log in successfully but calls may or may not work (following the same pattern I just mentioned).
The odd thing to me is that when I tested FaceTime on my iPad, I got notifications on my iPad and iPhone and my primary and alternate email address were now registered with FaceTime. They have been for over a year so I'm not sure why I'm getting those notifications again.
I'm able to log into the Mac App store without a problem using the same AppleID
What I've tried so far based on Google results:
1. In Keychain Access, reset my default keychain - No improvement
2. In Keychain Access, selected Keychain First Aid, repaired and verified - No improvement
3. On my iPad, turned iMessage off and back on - No improvement, though iMessage on the iPad still works fine
4. Confirmed that my primary and secondary AppleID email addresses and password are correct. The email address associated with my AppleID is not associated with any other AppleIDs.
Thanks!

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 4
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 6
Select from the menu bar
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 7
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 8
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 9
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 10
Reinstall OS X.
Step 11
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

Upgraded to TimeCapsule and now issues with AirPrint from iPhone and iPad

Okay. I bought a HP 210a air print printer. It was working great with my Linksys router and my iPad and iPhone worked with it perfectly. Since that time I have recently bought a new new 2TB Time Capsule and just recently set it up. The old router is no longer hooked up. Since switching over to the new router, nothing prints from the iPhone or iPad. So here are the details and I am hoping I am just missing a step:
1. I think it is important to point this part out. After setting up the new router, and before discovering any of this, I turned on the HP printer. Upon doing so, the printer informed me a software update was available from HP so I downloaded it and it appeared everything was fine.
2. After the update, I tried printing and nothing. Duh, the printer was still looking for the old router. I ran the built in HP wireless setup wizard on the printer and it pointed to the new router fine. I tested the connection using the test feature on the printer, and it printed a report that all was fine and that it was now pointed at the Time Capsule, great signal, etc...
3. I went to my iPhone and iPad, made sure they were pointed at the same network as the printer, and once again the printer appeared on each device as an AirPrint printer. Great I thought, so printed a test a page from each device. Both pages printed. Now here is where it gets weird.
4. I tried to print a second document from the iPad and iPhone, nothing. I tried a picture. Nothing. It still shows eveything setup correctly, the HP shows as the AirPrint printer and connected, but no matter what I do, it nothing is printing from either device. I've tried resetting my network settings on the iPhone and iPad and pointing to the network again, re-running the HP setup Wizard on the printer. They all show that everything is fine. The iPhone and iPad connect to the network fine, both show the printer when I go to print. However, after I hit the "print" button on either device, it shows like the document is being sent but NOTHING happens on the HP. It is very frustrating.
The WiFi is working fine, I can surf, email, etc... so the router is working properly. So what am I missing? Could the HP update somehow have caused the problem? I have to believe that between the update and the new router that somewhere I am missing a step. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If that doesn't work, try power cycling your router, printer, and your iPad/iPhone in that order. To do this, follow these steps:
Unplug the router and printer from the power and shut off the i-devices. Let them sit for about 30 seconds and then plug just the router in.
Once the router is completely back online (usually takes about 30-60 seconds) plug the printer in. Wait until it is back on its home screen.
Turn the i-devices on.
Try to print again.
Let me know if this helps!

HT5622 I have issues with my iphone putting all my photos in the photo stream and an issue with my icloud on my PC updating the photo s stream.

Some of the photo I take with my iphone will not get saved into my photo stream. Some of these photos were taken while the iphone was connected to the wifi, but did not get saved. Other photos were while not on wifi and they seem to get saved. I have not narrowed down what is the difference between those photos that get saved and those that don't get saved. Is there a way to force a photo to get saved? I would like to be able to access these photos from all my devices.
I also have an issue with the photo stream on my PC getting updated. I have photos in the photo stream that is updated on my Ipad and iphone. However, these photos are not getting updated on the PC. Everything seems to be set up on the icloud and photos stream for the PC.
Thanks,

That is the way it is designed to work. If you want the photos on your Mac on your new iPhone, you can sync them with iTunes.

Battery not recognised - and other issues with 867MHz Ti Book

Ok - here`s my story - I wonder if anyone can give me advice
on what to do next.
A week ago I started having trackpad issues with my tibook.
On 2 consecutive mornings the trackpad seemed to have frozen, held down. So that it brought up menus if the mouse was moved over one of the bars at the top of the screen. I wasn`t however, able to `click` on anything. An external
mouse, when plugged in, also didn`t work, though I was able to navigate the display using the keyboard shortcuts.
The first morning this happened, the OS also appeared to reset itself. ie the screen display picture went back to its original state - and all of the applications that i subsequently opened gave me a first time user `welcome` message.However, all of my files/photos/music etc were intact.
When the trackpad was working I backed everything up, ran
the hardware test cd, which came up clear, and called apple. They picked up the computer, which is under
warranty, on Friday, and at the time it was working fine.
I got the computer back yesterday, but unrepaired, and
with a new set of faults. Apple told me that they had checked the computer and had found
some evidence on the logic board, power in and bottom case
of past liquid spillage - but no other problems with the
computer. I don`t deny the liquid spillage ( a few ml of
water), although it
occurred 11 months ago and I have not had any problems with
the computer since 24 hours after the spill.
The state of the computer now that Apple have sent it back
is as follows: The trackpad is working. However, the computer is not recognsing the battery, or the wireless
networking Buffalo pc card. The clock also resets one out
of every 2 or 3 times that I restart the computer. These problems did not occur before I sent the computer to Apple.
Yesterday I erased and reinstalled 10.4 just in case that had
something to do with it - but it has not helped
So - my questions.
1. Could my current problems be to do with the spillage
on the logic board 11 months ago?
2. Could my new problems be to do with something that Apple
did when testing the computer this week?
3. Is there anything else that I should try in order to solve the issues that I`m having with the computer?
4. If it is a logic board problem, can anyone recommend
a UK repair centre that would deal with this cheaply (otherwise i will probably buy a new computer - as this
one is coming up for 3 years)?
Thanks,
Antony

Hi Antony,
1. Could my current problems be to do with the spillage
on the logic board 11 months ago?
Yes. Corrosion occurs over time, and it could have taken 11 months to reach "critcal mass."
2. Could my new problems be to do with something that Apple
did when testing the computer this week?
Theoretically, any time anyone does anything inside your PB, they could have caused additional issues, however, this would not be "normal."
3. Is there anything else that I should try in order to solve the issues that I`m having with the computer?
4. If it is a logic board problem, can anyone recommend a UK repair centre that would deal with this cheaply (otherwise i will probably buy a new computer - as this one is coming up for 3 years)?
Before paying for a new LB or a new PB, try a PMU Reset and Test PB Backup Battery.

Weird graphics and other issues with internet explorer in all versions.

One of our laptops has an issue with their Internet Explorer. First, whenever the user logs on and starts internet explorer and navigates to any website, the website loads for a bit but then immediately displays a "Page cannot be displayed" error.
Every single time. If we try browsing again/refreshing the page it loads fine. But during regular browsing, we might get that page again.
Another issue that happens is sometimes the graphics logos won't load properly. See screenshot:
http://i.imgur.com/0usOPpu.jpg
And this happens a lot. If this won't happen, the websites will only load with half its formatting missing.
Now we have:
-Thoroughly checked computer for viruses. Several full scans have been done with MalwareBytes with no issues found. Microsoft Security Essentials has been installed, full scan done, no viruses/spyware/adware found.
-We have tried upgrading to IE11. Same issue. Downgraded to IE10. Same issue. Downgraded to IE9, same issue yet again. IE was Reset each time.
We checked if it could be a network issue, but none of the other computers connected to the same switch has issue like that.
Any suggestions/ideas to try?

Hi,
I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall, then check the result.
You may try the steps from the links below to check the issue:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error

Internet Explorer "Page Cannot be Displayed" error due to Bad Proxy Server Timeout

You may also refer to the computer or device manufacturer website and try installing the latest version of chipset, graphics card and video card drivers and check.
Hope it helps.
