WRVS4400N turned into a brick

So like everybody else my WRVS4400N is so unstable I had to try everything to keep it working. Last but not least I tried the restore utility on the download page and now the router won't start up. All that happens is the red diag light stays one, the power light comes on and the switch lights turn on. But you can't ping 192.168.1.1 and no amount of holding the rest button in the back fixes it. So its toast or is there anything anybody can think of? I mean seriously, I followed the instructions emphatically and their own utility bricks their own product?

Still nothing I can think of can revert the Linksys "Restore" Utility. I love how it "Restored" it to the state of paper weight though. Thats great.

1TB seagate free agent turned into a brick

After a year or so my free agent 1TB external seagate drive turned into a brick. Luckily I have friends in Seagate who told me this was a known issue, they resurrected my drive for me but told me that I needed to update the drive firmware to prevent this issue reoccurring. I plugged the drive SN into the Seagate web site but it tells me that there are no firmware updates needed. Has anyone had this issue or updated firmware on their external drive. I know that if you do this you can avoid the drive failure. I also know that if the drive is internal to some systems, such as an HP, that you can get a firmware upgrade.

Hi,
i have an 1,5TB Seagate Free Agent connected via Firewire 400 (with a conversion cable to my old MacMini) ther i had always problems that the Free Agent just stopped working (without any error) and Superduper just stopped the copy job.
Now i have the new MacMini and the same problem happens when connected to 800 Firewire with proper cablin ONLY when i let the harddisk go to sleep (System Preferences / Powersaving / let Disk Drives go to sleepp or something like this in english, i have a german installation)
So i try now to set without letting disk go into sleep because it sometimes does not wake up (you see the logo ligt softly flashing) hope anyone has a solution.

Well it finally happened - My iphone turned into a brick

it won't respond I plug it in and it still won't respond....
any suggestions?

not much I can say.
It won't turn on, I hold down all the buttons for at least 10 seconds. I plug it in the usb port (PC) and for 5 mins now it still doesn't work.
I think I need to goto the apple store.

My "buggy" iPhone 3G finally turned into a brick!

Yep, about an hour ago my new 3G that has been very buggy finally died. Just the apple logo on the screen. itunes will not see it and resets do nothing.
I guess it was just a matter of time.....

Look at the bright side. You no longer have a reason to delay taking it to an Apple store (unless you plan to build a Wall of Bricks)

Unable to update my 4S to 5.0.1: my iphone turned into a brick

Itunes unpacks the software but it never installs on the iPhone: "error code: 14"

You can't update to 5.0.1 because 5.1 is available

Relocation ATT termination. Will my iPhone turn into brick?

I've moved to non-service area and ATT terminated my iPhone contract with no early termination fee. All functions still work except the phone function, which shows no service. Will my iPhone turn into "brick" if I try to update and sync photo and music libraries through iTunes? Will I lose wifi capability that I now have? Will I be able to buy new web apps through iTunes next week after developer's conference? My iPhone is now "legally unlocked" and is functioning as an iTouch. Will it be "bricked" if I connect to iTunes now?

Why do we allow the manufactures and cell phone providers to lock OUR PHONES. We are the client to both of them. There 3 year contract or so is good enough to lock us in as clients.
So we can pay $400 for them instead of $1200 (the cost of an unlocked phone in France).
You can buy almost any phone unlocked; you just pay a LOT more for it than for a locked phone (the iPhone in the US is the exception).

Raw Files turn into 175kb preview files.

I have download my RAW files from my Canon 1DS into Photoshop CS2 using a Lexar card reader.
They download as a full RAW file but when I go to open them in bridge the turn into a 175 kb preview file! The strange thing is I download 5 gbs from 5 different cards but not all of them did it. I found that if I download the images several times they would eventually download as full RAW files. I am using a G5 MAC with loads of memory and processing capacity. Is it the problem that the cards are corrupting, the card reader is faulty, CS2 is somehow corrupt (it is a fully registered copy) or that bridge has some weird glich in it. This problem has only just started as I have been this software for some months now.
Cheers Brent.

Leopard? You aren't doing a command/copy (move) are you? There have been reports that "moves" in Leopard is broken...
Otherwise, try another card reader or cable. This isn't something Bridge would be doing to your files...

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

When I turn on my iMac it comes up with the icon which I then log into. The password works and I then get the apple icon and the spinning wheel. After a minute it turns into a prohibited icon. If I log on the guest icon I get to Safari. Help!

When I turn on my iMac it comes up with the login icons which I then choose and log into. The password works and I then get the apple icon and the spinning wheel. After about a minute the Apple icon turns into a prohibited icon. However, if I log in under the guest icon, I can access the wifi and get to Safari. I really don't know what to do next. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Are you running any A-V? If it's an iMac 21.5, I don't think you're running Leopard, 10.5. Probably at least Snow Leopard, 10.6. This is the Leopard forum.
This article says meant for 10.3.9 and eariler, but contains some still useful suggestions.

Try a Safe Boot. Shift at the startup chime and expect a much longer time to boot. This will bring you to a login screen with "Safe Boot" in red.
Look at this as well.

Using webmail in Mozilla Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows 8, original messages get turned into html code when I reply to or forward them. How can I fix this?

I have tried re-setting Firefox and working in Safe Mode, but the problem still recurs. I use Fastmail as my webmail server and never had this problem on Windows XP or Windows 7. When I reply to a message, the original message is turned into html code. The same happens when I forward a message.
My JavaScript is up to date, in case that's relevant. The Fastmail support team suggested the problem would be Firefox-related.
The other function of my Fastmail account that isn't working properly in Firefox 17.0.1. is the search function.
Do I need to get new plugins or something? I don't know where the HTML editor is in Firefox or if that's what's wrong.
Regards,
Rachel

Thanks for your reply, cor-el. Norton 360 came pre-installed on the laptop as part of the package I bought. I haven't changed the pre-set firewall or anti-virus settings. Should I change something?
I will try rebooting in Windows Safe mode as you say and report if that makes any difference.

I open a site, it loads and i'm already reading or looking at it and suddenly it turns into a blank page without me doing nothing or moving or clicking anywhere. Have happened to me on 3 different addresses

Hi.
I'm having a problem with Firefox. Lately it have happened to me that I'm looking at a site and suddenly the site turns into a white blank page and that happens without me doing anything or clicking anywhere. The site loads normally and I can navigate through the page but then all the content disappears and shows just a white page. At first I thought it was a problem with the address because that problem happened to me just in this one(http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=231&cat=144&category=142) while I was looking at the classifieds but today I was browsing other pages(e.g. www.collegeboard.org) and the same thing happened. And it doesn't happen on every site, so far is has been just in a couple of addresses. Then, in order to fix this, I have to click the "go back one page" button to get to the same page I was on. It looks like when it turns white is because it goes to a different page because if I reload that white page nothing happens until I click "go back". I hope you can help me.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />

If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

My en-dashes in Pages turn into thin em-dashes.

My en-dashes in Pages turn into thin em-dashes. After conversion to ePub and displayed on my iPad. Any ideas?

It sounds like it could be a font issue. Are you sure you are using a font in Pages which is present on the iPad?

Menu fonts all turn into boxed capital "A"s

At some point last night, while I was working on my 10.4.9 PowerMac G4, something happened and my menu fonts all turned into some glyph that looks like a capital "A" inside of a box. All of the text on the desktop, menu bar, window titles, and the left side of a finder window have this change. Files displayed within a finder window, however, do not.
Does anyone have any idea of what might have gone broken to cause this, and ideas on what I can do to try to fix it? I'd rather not reinstall if that's an option.
I've run Disk Utility and DiskWarrior to make sure the drive is up to spec, and it checked out.
PowerMac G4 Dual 1Ghz (MDD) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Would it be possible to replace that font from
another 10.4.9 system?
Sure, from any OS X system at all. But I imagine you
still have Lucida Grande (look in
System/Library/Fonts) and I doubt replacing it will
help. Worth a try, but I think the problem is
something messed up in the OS that makes it think the
font is gone.
That, also, appears to be the case. Sigh. Looks like it's reinstall time.
Thanks for the tips, though!

IPad turned into blue screen then shut down how to fix?

iPad turned into blue screen then shut down how to fix I cannot play games..

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, restore your iPad using iTunes or iCloud > iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
