Would appreciate some help please?

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong section!
I own the C470 all in one had it two days.  A couple of things; my hard drive light flashes a lot is this normal?
It seems very slow, concerned dont know what programs I can uninstall, have uninstalled the games, what else can I do?  If there is a problem may need to return to amazon and ask  for a replacement, any assistance please, have to say used windows 7 home premium before and could get round it okay
Many thanks Joules

The harddrive light flashing could be normal. Have you done all the windows updates? When you say it is slow, is the harddrive access slow, internet slow, or once a program has started it runs slow?

  • Would appreciate some help here still fairly new to MAC

    Ok I've made the mistake of installing a program called Anacron which is supposed to help with the maintenance of OS X. Well I found out after the fact that there is no need to install ANY programs for maintenance as it is all built into the OS now. So I went to uninstall it and wow has this been a headache . First off there is NO uninstaller and when following the read me file that I found to uninstall it, part of it works and part of it doesn't. This is the information to just disable it (not delete it):
    How do I disable or remove anacron?
    To disable anacron, run the following commands in a terminal:
    cd /Library/LaunchDaemons
    sudo launchctl unload -w ./anacron.plist
    cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-daily.plist
    sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-weekly.plist
    sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-monthly.plist
    The above worked, but the info which is supposed to help you delete it all together does NOT work and I would appreciate some help/comments on why it doesn't. Here is the info for deleting it:
    To completely remove anacron from your system, delete (trash):
    /usr/local/sbin/anacron
    /usr/local/share/man/man5/anacrontab.5
    /usr/local/share/man/man8/anacron.8
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/anacron.plist
    /etc/anacrontab
    /var/spool/anacron
    /Library/Receipts/Anacron.pkg
    When I use Terminal to get in there and delete that stuff, when I try and delete Anacron, I'm given a list of file attributes (I guess) .. it looks something like this:
    override rwxr-xr-x root/wheel for anacron?
    What in the world does this mean and how in the world can I get this crap deleted from my system? Seems like everything I do is not enough to get this stuff deleted.
    Thank you for your time

    "Are you borrowing some frined's account, you have lots of messages here for a guy fairly new to mac"
    No, the mac is mine, and this is my account. I still consider myself pretty new to MAC OS X. The time of me registering here is right at the same time I received my iMac which is just over a year. To me that is still pretty new I may have a buttload of posts, but that doesn't mean I know a lot about MAC OS X and the MAC computers.
    I certainly appreciate your help with this problem. It worked flawlessly. This is very much like DOS in windows......yuk, just reflecting on the past. Thank you again, sooo much. I now feel much better, what a relief.
    Edit: Oh by the way, just answering "Yes" gave me, if I remember correctly, something about forbidden. But doing it the way you described above using the sudo lines worked great and it asked me for my user password, I put it in, then everything was ok, it deleted everything I wanted it to.

  • I would appreciate some help.

    Hello, I had a problem recently where my imac crashed to a blue screen while running windows in bootcamp. It appeared to be a major problem and I could no longer boot to the windows partition.
    I was able to finally start my computer up on the mac partition thanks to some help from the forum there. However it appeared that the windows portion had met a fatal problem so I deleted the partition from the mac os partition. I continued to try and restall that partition but recieved an error.
    After more research it appeared the error would be fixed by using disk utility to repair the hard drive. I ran the disk repair and it froze midway through. I waited an hour and it was still frozen so I restared.
    After restarting there was the folder with the ? it appears my entire mac os partition was also eliminated. I now have the mac-os cd in and am attempting to re-install but am coming across a problem.
    When prompted with a select destination volume to install mac os it is empty. It appears my harddrive is gone.
    If i go under utilities: Disk utility there is an icon of a harddrive called "media" however i cannot verify or repair anything on it. It also displays a total capacity of 0bytes.
    Under system profiler Serial-ATA it reads there was an error while scanning.
    Does this all mean that my harddrive died? And if so can it be replaced by the apple store? The computer reads iMac 7,1 intel core duo.
    thank you very much in advance.

    It possible your iMac's HD has failed. Run Apple Hardware Test: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 if it reports errors then yes you are due for a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP, either can repair it.

  • I'm moving to college soon, and would appreciate some help with my library.

    I am moving to college in just over a week and a half and was needing some help with my iTunes library. Currently, at home, I use iTunes as my main source of music entertainment. I purchase music through the iTues Store and upload older music from CDs onto the library as well. I have made several smart playlists based off of information such as play counts and last played dates. Unfortunately, this is all on a desktop that I will be unable to bring with me to school. So I have recently purchased a laptop that I will be taking with me to school. I have already downloaded iTunes and have activated the laptop to my Apple ID. The desktop currently runs on Windows 7, while the laptop runs on Windows 8. Both are up-to-date with iTunes.
    With all of that background information, here comes my question. Is there a way to have the same library on both PCs? I don't just mean the same songs, but rather have the same play counts, last played dates, playlists, etc. on both computers. Is this something that can be accomplished through the cloud or iTunes Match?

    Copy the ENTIRE /Music/iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Sync only with the new computer going forward.
    Nothing will be updated on the old computer, but if you are not going to be at home using the desktop is that really relevant?

  • Would appreciate some help - not sure what just happened?

    This is my first post to the Forums, and I have only had my phone for a couple of days (I've never had a smartphone before either), so please bear with me if I sound completely ignorant. 
    I just got my HTC Droid Incredible over the weekend and I have fallen in love with it!  I had no problems until just a few minutes ago.  I went to answer a call, but accidentally hit the button to end the call.  I just hit the "phone" button to get back into the phone dialer where I could call them back.  At this point my screen just went black, and eventually brought up a little red triangle with a red exclamation point on the screen.  I kept trying to turn it on but nothing would happen, so I took the battery out, put it back in, and turned it back on.  It turned back on, but it brought up a screen that had a little picture of a Droid character and it had several menu options (One of them was recovery, can't remember what the other ones were).  I kept hitting the volume up and power button and finally the phone turned back on, and now it seems as if everything is fine with it.  Does anyone have any idea why it would do that, and what menu option I could have selected?  I am afraid I did something that will mess up the phone.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • EMAIL PROBLEMS APPRECIATE SOME HELP PLEASE

    I accidentally tried to send a large pdf file by email via my .mac account. I tried to cancel the send when I realised it was 192meg
    Since then I cannot send or receive email at all and the little circle thing (that spins when checking email on an account) keeps searching but does nothing else (been doing it for nearly 4 hours now!)
    Every now and then a message comes up saying: Some actions taken while the account ".mac" was offline could not be completed online...Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “On My Mac” in “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions while online. Additional information: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 993 timed out.
    I click the only options, which is 'ok' then it continues searching
    So I read the help topic and it gave an option that perhaps my account is full so i clicked get info, the relevant account, then quota limits as instructed
    it says it is 'calculating sizes' but has done that for nearly the past 2 hours now and doing nothing! So as a last resort I am hoping somebody on here could advise what I can do.
    thank you
    <Post Relocated by Moderator>

    At this point I think you need to call .mac and ask them to look into and delete the messages. If your mac is no longer connected to the server, and it's still duplicating then it's not your mac sending the command to copy, it's something on the .mac end.

  • I would appreciate some help in capturing some VHS tapes into PP-CS6.

    Aloha,
    Just loaded CS6 and my 1st project is to convert some VHS tapes into HD DVD's.  The VHS player I'm using has R/G/B Component video out & HDMI in/out.  My PC video card is a Radeon 6750 with 1 x HDMI (in use for my monitor), 1 x DVI-I, and 1 x D-SUB.  My mobo, a Gigabyte GA-MA78GN-US2H, has 1x D-SUB, 1 x DVI-D, & 1 x HDMI. I don't believe I can use both HDMI slots simultaneously.  I'm not even sure I can use any of the onboard graphica ports while I'm using an external  video card.
    So my questions are; 1) which available graphic port on the video card will offer me the best VHS tape capture?  2) what are the capture settings (i.e. frame rate & resolution of most VHS tapes either home recorded or professionally recorded) that I should use?
    Mahalo-n-aloha from the big Island where the water is always warm and clear, and where now (Jan-March) the Humpback Whales play.

    Usually, video ports on a video card or motherboard are out only. You would need a capture card, or external box to get VHS video digitized into your computer.
    For VHS tapes, I would recommend getting a Hauppauge HD-PVR available here: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html
    It would save you a lot of headaches and make your job much easier.
    If you'd like specifics: the HD-PVR has component inputs with optical audio, along with S-video and composite connections.
    I've used it to capture many VHS tapes, and never had a problem.
    Good luck!

  • Would appreciate some help concerning Bluetooth...

    I have just recently bought a Bluetooth USB for my laptop so I can easily transfer files to and from my BlackBerry and Laptop. My partners Samsung Tocco connected and transfered files fine.
    My BlackBerry finds the Laptop's Bluetooth and enter both passkeys on both devices and pair up. As soon as I go to send a file, such as a ringtone or Image, I right click on the file, Send To,Bluetooth, and select the device I want to send to. I get an error message on my Bluetooth Icon in the Tray saying 'Bluetooth - The service does not exist' ???????? I've connected and paired fine with the laptop and it says it doesn't exist??? My BlackBerry doesn't seem to connect to any phone either. I have adjusted options in My BlackBerry Bluetooth Options to be Discoverable and when connect to the laptop mark Trusted - Yes on the laptop Bluetooth.
    I rather not use the USB wire for my Blackberry as Bluetooth seemed so much easier, but I guess I was completely wrong. I've been trying this for a few days now and I need your help!
    Thank you xxx

  • I would like some Help please!

    Hey everyone. I bought a new Ipod 30Gb Black Video yesterday which i recieved at about 11am. I turned it on and it got stalled on hold. I couldnt turn the ipod off or nothing at around 3 the Ipod was dead so I installed all the programs and plugged it into the computer at around 3.45. It has been on all night and now at almost 1 the next day it is still saying Do Not Disconnect. I have been into Itunes many times and cannot see that in anyway being in contact with the ipod. What should I do. I am planning to leave it on till about 7.30 tonight but thats the latest I can really do.
    Also When I open up itunes and go into Prefrences and click Ipod it says that there is no Ipod Connected.

  • Would appreciate some help with this.

    Hello, I have a class that looks like this:
    import extra.*;
    public class Bokhylla {
    int x;
    public Bok[] b?cker = new Bok[x];
    public Bokhylla(int antal) {
    x = antal;
    The problem is that I want x in my array to be set from the constructor, but the code above does not work. It doesn't matter how big "antal" is, when I try to set a reference to an object in position 0 in Bok[] the program complains that it is out of boundary.

    Hello, I have a class that looks like this:
    import extra.*;
    public class Bokhylla {
    int x;
    public Bok[] b?cker = new Bok[x];
    public Bokhylla(int antal) {
    x = antal;
    }You should move the Bok[] instantiation into the constructor after x is asigned the value of antal.
    import extra.*;
    public class Bokhylla {
      int x;
      public Bok[] bicker; //or whatever that is, doesn't show right here
      public Bokhylla (int antal) {
          x = antal;
          bicker = new Bok[x];
        //or just use bicker = new Bok[antal]; and forget about x
    }None of the objects in the bicker array will be accessible until you instantiate them as well, so you will have to do:
    for (int count = 0; count < antal; count++)
       bicker[count] = new Bok();

  • UIX DataObjects - some help please

    I'm doing some interesting things with DataObjects and don't understand why something's happening and would like some help please. An explanation is needed first. Rather than physically delete anything from our system and have all the problems of referential integrity we have a status associated with 'entities' either active or inactive. Some of the things which have this status are foreign keys in other entities my example is a Brand which has a BrandType. My problem is that by default when populating e.g. a choice list our services will only provide 'active items'. However, using my example, if I want to update a Brand that has a foreign key to an inactive BrandType, I want the inactive BrandType to appear in the list. I have an EJB service which provides the list of BrandTypes and whose interface allows for the specification of an 'id' to be included. I have a DataObject stored on the pageState (currentBrand below) which contains this id and I want to pass this 'id' as a parameter to another DataObject which actually returns the DataObjectList of BrandTypes to populate the choice list. With me so far? Hope so! This DataObject is also part of the 'currentBrand' DataObject stored on pageState (brandTypes@currentBrand).
    So to do this I have this data binding on my <messageChoice> element
    <messageChoice    name="brandType"
                      data:prompt="label@type@fields@pageResources"
                      data:shortDesc="shortDesc@type@fields@pageResources"
                      data:selectedValue="brandTypeId@brand@currentBrand">
      <contents data:childData="(brandTypeId@brand@currentBrand)@brandTypes@currentBrand">
        <option       data:text="name"
                      data:value="id"/>
      </contents>
    </messageChoice>And this is my selectValue in the 'brandTypes' DataObject which will get the 'id' from
    (brandType@brand@currentBrand) as its key
      public Object selectValue(RenderingContext pContext, Object pKey) {
        Long id = (Long)pKey;
        Long[] ids = new Long[1];
        ids[0] = id;
        HttpSession session = getSession(pContext);
        UserToken userToken = getUserToken(session);
        GetBrandTypeRequest request = new GetBrandTypeRequest();
        request.setUser(userToken);
        request.setOutputModeType(OutputMode.ENTRIES_ONLY);
        request.setActiveStatus(Status.ACTIVE);
        request.setSelectionType(SelectionType.ALL);
        request.setIds(ids);
        return BrandTypeCache.getBrandTypes(request).getBrandTypes();
      }The return value is actually an array of DataObjects (which will get converted to a DataObjectList). Now this actually works as far as rendering is concerned but in debugging I've found that the selectValue method is actually being called several times 10 in fact when I would have only expected it to be called once. I wondered if it was being called for every item in the list but there are only 9 of those. There's obviously a performance issue as I'm calling my EJB service each time selectValue is called.
    Hope this all makes sense - can anyone tell me what's going on here and what I can do to fix it?
    Thanks
    Ian

    Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
    in response to Johannes666
    Recommended
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
