Can not get the new firmware to "take".
I am trying to install rockbox on my brand new Clip + - the problem of "Refreshing your media" bit me once I copied 15 GB of my old MP3 player on a new uSDHC card.
However, no matter what I do, I can't get the player to update its firmware.
I used rockbox Setup both a manual installation. The fw file is in the root directory of the element, which is in MSC mode, but as soon as I log out, instead of the promised update firware followed by a stop, I simply get "Refreshing your media" and then the player stays on indefinitely.
Someone at - it ideas? Am I missing something? The player would be defective?
I think randomly would be that you are trying to Flash the incorrect firmware for your device. Each device will only accept firmware designed for it, in order to avoid destroying the player by the incompatible firmware flashing.
What is the version number on your player and the name + the version of the firmware file you are trying to flash?

Can not get the new pair Apple wireless keyboard
I followed the 'how' document, but it does not work - I guess that these statements applied to the previous generation apple wireless keyboard, but not the new series aluminum.
When I "add new connection" (Express or Custom mode) a dialog box opens asking me to enter a PIN code on the keypad and press ENTER. I enter the serial number given, but I get an error message that authentication "was wrong." I've heard that I need to enter a PIN of 0000 for the keyboard to work, but the Toshiba Bluetooth stack doesn't seem to let me pick my own PIN - he always chooses for me.
I uninstalled the Toshiba stack and tried XP SP2 stack - it works with the new apple keyboard runs it a PIN of 0000. Unfortunately, the battery of XP SP2 is not other profiles that I need so I can't really use it.
Has anyone figured this out?
If you have entered the PIN code according to in the keyboard Bluetooth (not the PC keyboard!) and 'Link level security' has been activated - is that correct?
What model of Apple keyboard do you use? -
can not get the new hard drive to work in the Pavilion ze4805us laptop
have an HP pavilion ze4805us laptop which had a total hard drive failure... recovery disks were lost in a fire... replaced the hard drive with a Western Digital 250 GB drive... computer recognizes the drive, but with only 137 GB... impossible to obtain the Windows Millennium disk to install... I have it get the PXE - E61 error code... have looked for answers and tried a few suggestions to fix the error code, but no luck so far... would like to throw this laptop and runs again, it was so nice all in operation. Can someone help me with this? Thanks to all in advance... rrcar6
At the level of the BIOS, HARD drive should show the full capacity regardless of the distribution, but it will be limited based on what the current logical block installed the BIOS supports. For example, the 250 GB HDD Needs LBA 48 bit to be recognized by the BIOS in its entirety. Western Digital only provides downloads of software and support going back to Windows XP. Windows Millennium Edition is not able to recognize the full capacity of the drive. Finding drivers compatible with Windows ME is perhaps another challenge that XP uses a different architecture than Windows ME done.
It seems that this laptop is the same time that the books mentioned in this thread. Response from JackShack gives the best explanation as to why he shows quite different in the BIOS. It has been many years, but I do not remember that the capacity of the HARD disk had exceeded what the BIOS at the time supported resulting in the 137 GB limit displayed in the BIOS. This section of Western Digital shows that this problem is related to the operating system or BIOS supporting however, this should not prevent Windows to install correctly.
I'm sure it's already done, as it was not a new BIOS since 2004, but guarantee the newest BIOS is installed. Logical block address 48 bits, necessary for the larger disks (larger for the time) was released in 2003. The 2004 related BIOS earlier than probably took supported LBA. What is the current version of BIOS?
What is the exact message that you get when you try to install Windows Millennium Edition?

Can not get the latest Windows 7 security updates
you want to say thank you in advance to anyone who could help me with this problem. I was not able to install the new updates of security, and I don't want to leave my computer in a vulnerable state, so any help is super duper enjoyed.
I have a desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1. I bought the parts of the computer separately, so it did not come with a pre-installed Windows OS.
Since about two months ago (when I installed Windows), I was never able to find the updates by using Windows Update. It crashes just on the "check updates" screen I have yet to get error messages, it crashes just on this same screen, with the bar that goes from left to right.
After a week or two, I noticed that Windows has not been activated, and all I had to do was re-enter the product key. Now that Windows has been activated, I tried to look for updates again, same thing, it of just always looking for updates without results.
In the Windows Update window, it says:
Final check of updates: never
Updates have been installed: never
You receive updates: for Windows only
I have some important updates, the value "Install updates automatically (recommended)" every day at 03:00.
I have Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320, status: success, installation Date: 17.8.2016 (the same day I installed Windows)
2 updates installed: KB976902 (installed on November 21, 2010) and KB2534111 (installed on August 17, 2016)
I searched the internet for possible solutions to the problem, and that's what I've tried so far:
I tried troubleshooting Windows update with the tool in the Control Panel, it hanged on "Check for updates online", so not much luck with that.
Scanned with Avast Antivirus computer a couple of times, has never found a virus.
I downloaded the WindowsUpdateDiagnostic tool and tried, I got the following:
Problems found
Windows Update, error 0 x 80080005 (2016-10-16-T-12_49_06P) is not fixed
Registration for the service is missing or damaged fixed
Fixed problems to install the latest updates
Fixed problems to install the latest updatesAfter that, still can't anything when I try to search for updates in Windows Update.
I tried to download and install KB3172605 from Microsoft Download Center update, I had read that the update was to make the search for updates in Windows Update faster. Download was successful. Then, I stopped the Windows Update Service. When I tried to install, but I was left with an error message saying that the update was not applicable to my computer.
Subsequently discovered on Belarc Advisor, downloaded and ran the program. He tells me that I have a total of 148 updates security missing, here is the list:

Y at - it updated I could get that would speed up the process of search for updates in Windows Update?
How long can it take to find 100 updates + I need help from Windows Update? A long time I've tried have Windows Update check for updates was like 10 hours, without results. Is it worth trying to leave to search for days even? Also can I disable my firewall and antivirus during this time, or is it too risky? I am reluctant to do it, because I SLEEP in the same room as my computer is in (and the cpu fan can get really loud).
One thing that I thought about just today is that I always shut down my computer at night. Since updates are planned to install at 03:00 in the night, interrupting this process by stopping the computer down every night? Should I try to simply put it to sleep instead, for a few nights?
We appreciate once again, if anyone can suggest what to do in this situation. Responses from anyone who has had the same problem and managed to resolve it might also be useful!
Thank you!

Can not get the new laptop to connect to my wireless network but connects to others
I have just bought a new laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 to Dell.com and have tried to set up the wireless internet for the past hours. The laptop running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, & my wireless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (about 4-5 years). Below is a list of problems / advice I've come across so far:
(1) when trying to connect to a network, my network don't appears in the list of local networks sporadically even if she lost the signal strength of any nearby wireless signal (I must refresh the list to make it appear sometimes)
(2) when my network is displayed in the list, it is described as a network that is not secure; There are 2 others that come and go in the list that are also not guaranteed, but I was able to connect through one of them.
(3) when I try to connect via my network it either says unable to connect immediately or poster progress bar, then after a minute or two, says that it cannot connect.
-to diagnose the problem, I can exclude is not not in the range of my camera as I tried to connect when I'm 2 feet more far
-It also says view wireless connections again and try again, but this brings me to the same screen
-L' diagnostics screen mentions that "the network is"hidden"and is either not in range of this computer or wireless settings on this computer do not match the settings of the network." (is there a setting I'm familiar with that?)
(4) I checked device drivers and all said that they are working correctly
(5) I can connect to the internet via a direct connection to the router via a cable ethernet not wirelessIn my view, that it is all the information I can provide about this problem. If you need more information, such as the specifications of the system, let me know where to find them and I will re-post. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Well, it looks like the old router was the problem. You have a new N Wireless for about $80 as suggested and it works like a charm. At took 5 seconds for your laptop to recognize and connect to it and were without problems since then. Thanks again for the help guys... I hope that I won't bother you again =)

I can not get the norton for 36 firefox toolbar. Have run Norton live update repeatedly. He updated of all good and applied a patch. When I go to the firefox menu > Modules > extensions, toolbar Norton is grayed out and says he is not compatible with firefox 36 and is disabled. Help! I need my Norton safe.
Hi Cathie7372, according to Norton the latest version of the toolbar is compatible with firefox 36 is 2014.7.10.26 - your watch as 2014.7.10. 16...
as norton distributes the updates themselves we are probably not able to help much - please contact norton support if you do not receive the last update, even after running liveupdate repeatedly. they should be able to help get their product to date.

I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
It is not usually necessary to create an exception for the certificates.
Possible causes are that a server does not send the full (intermediate) certificate chain or self signed certificates.Hi everyone, this is my first post, also help on the post would be appreciated.
I bought ipad air 1 after that 2013 but can not get the pages for free. Numbers and imovie I can. IOS9 running at the moment. I have pages when I connect on icloud on my pc. Can I transfer iPad app, because it is not in the ILO purchased in itunes.
Thanks in advance
Newbie
The only way to install an ipad app is through the app store. PC or Mac software does not run on the ipad. Search in the contacts link at the bottom right of this page. Give apple a call.
I guess is the icon for pages in icloud for storing documents pages. At the same time, apple had a cloud based pages. Not sure what happened to her.
