• the upgrade of my Alienware m18x r2 RAPIDS Questions

  Hello yall I have some quick questions. My system is a gtx win8 - 675 m i7-3630qm Alienware m18x r2.

  I read that the 3840qm and the 3920xm are very similar and the price level for the 3920xm is not worth for an upgrade if money is a problem.

  In this spirit I think to go with the 3840qm, I just need to make sure that I have not upgraded the heat sink or the power supply if you choose the 3840qm.

  the next question is I'm tempted with going with the 3920xm only if I don't have to upgrade the PSU and the radiator, so I have to upgrade the PSU and the radiator?

  last question is after I or until I update my cpu do I need to uninstall or install anything?

  You can use the same any CPU heatsink upgrade you.

  For the i7 3840QM that you don't need to upgrade to the power adapter, you should be fine if you have the 240W.

• The upgrade to R4 Alienware M17x?

  So any1 have improved their r4 m17x with their own SSD memories?

  Was it difficult?

  I just spare laptop 8 GB 1600 memory and 128GB 2.5 "SSD...

  These perfectly without any problem, so replace it with the default of Dell?

  Moreover, for disks hard, if I chose simply to 500 GB of HARD drive, is the other disk drive HARD vacuum? because the M17x has I think 2 slots for HDD/SSD right?

  Thanks for the reply.

  I'm sorry for the miscommunication.  There are 2 slots HDD and 1 slot mSATA.

  Answer please if you have any additional questions.

• Already bought an Alienware 14 - curious about the upgrade of the screen

  Is it possible to have the monitor on my Alienware 14 updated? I was hoping to increase the resolution of 1366 x 768. I was wondering about getting a slab IPS 300 nits 1080 p set in after seeing an article on the point. I was also wondering on a matte screen vs glossy screen. I use the laptop inside in general.

  Now I've noticed a few rasterized textures on my screen and I was hoping to just get a level would lead it up to the same quality as my desktop computer monitor.

  So, is it possible to upgrade the monitor after the purchase, ideally through dell, or do I have to use a third party? Secondly, what would be the cost and it would alter the warranty if I by dell (such as differing from the guarantee of original purchase value of the laptop).

  I tried Googling, couldn't find much about it. I would really appreciate any information or even advice on what type of monitor to upgrade to.

  https://www.LaptopScreen.com/English/model/Dell/Alienware~14/ (if you want to do the upgrade).
  I think the number of spare parts and updates is 1-800-357-3355.

• The upgrade of the Alienware 18 (version 2013)

  I am considering getting an upgrade to my laptop and I think that after upgrading RAM I would like to upgrade the graphics card to something better than the GTX 765 m. Firstly, is it still possible? Secondly, I should adapt something else at the same time?

  Of course, you can move on to the next card:

  NVidia GTX770M

  NVidia GTX780M

  NVidia GTX 860M

  NVidia GTX 880M

  AMD Radeon R9 M290X

  And you may need to replace the video card support plate as well.  If you are still under warranty I recommend to do the upgrade with the sales department.

• Small RAM upgrade question for Alienware Aurora R5

  Hello! Currently, I have an Alienware Aurora R5 with 2 x 4GB 2133 MHz RAM sticks and am really happy with it so far!

  But I would add another stick of 8GB 2133 MHz to bring it up to 16 GB, thing is, I'm not quite sure if I can simply another 8 GB stick fit into the slot XMM3 and make it work.

  partly because I couldn't find any documentation on what the latency of tensions/schedules/AR are on the 2 RAM sticks of 4 GB in the pc are currently, and I think as those that are important for the upgrade of ram,

  And because of this thing I found in the online manual for the R5

  

  Seems to say that there are only 5 configuration, I can have this set in stone or is it just that they tested?

  Thanks, Saucybagel

  P.S. I moved here instead of "office computer Forums (Audio, General Hardware, video) ' as advised.

  P.P.S. well, positions of copied it exceeds in any case, I don't know if I can move, heh

  Hello

  Yes, the 8 GB will work on the slot XMM3.

• is more able to stream video from some sites after the upgrade to Safari 10

  

  After the upgrade to 10 Safari, I can no longer stream from a certain website. Instead of playing the video stream, I'm prompted to save "player.swf" as shown above.  This problem occurs on el Capitan, and it happens on the Sierra, and it all started when I updated Safari 9.x to 10.0

  Open Safari preferences / Security tab and check the box allow Plug-ins.

  Very soon of Flash player and the plugin will be obsolete and this web page needs to change its code to HTML5.

• Since the upgrade to Sierra - my CPU runs hot

  Recently, I used the app store to upgrade my MacBook Pro for OSX Sierra.

  From this point forward - my laptop is very hot and fans constantly run like a Jet engine.

  I see this in the activity monitor:

  

  I put all my contacts to synchronize hourly, and nothing has changed before the upgrade and after.

  How can I fix it? My life of the battery is to be purged, permanently.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

• Photos for Mac behaves VERY strangely since the upgrade to Sierra

  Hi all.

  I have improved my mid 2010 MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra September 21.

  The first time I launched the Photos app after the upgrade, I got the usual message on photo library updated, but when that reaches 100%, I noticed that he was missing a large number of thumbnails in my library. The photos in question were display in miniature (or 'moments') view as pale gray rectangles with a cloud icon in their breast.

  I don't immediately panic, because I assumed that they would gradually repopulate for a little while. I got "Storage optimize Mac", the value of preferences so all of my original pictures must be in iCloud. I have a Time Capsule, make automatic backups, and I made a backup Time Machine on which, immediately before the upgrade, so I am reasonably confident that I did not really lose my photos, (and all of my pictures and their thumbnails are present & correct on my iPhone).

  But, almost a fortnight after the upgrade, most of my thumb nails is always reported missing since the Photos of Mac application, which makes it very difficult to find pictures of course.

  Last night I noticed that the Photos app showed 'Uploading photos 10 985 nnnnnn' at the foot of the view of the times, with the first digit decreases slowly, so I disabled the options to ensure that my Mac doesn't go to sleep and I let it run until the download was complete energy saving. Then, he showed "updated... "at the foot of the view of the times for a while.

  I was hoping that my thumb nail would be back after that, but they are not!

  It seems that the Photos app is not sync with my iCloud storage, for any reason, or at least if it does not in fact what it has synchronized.

  A double click on these thumbnails blank to open the photo is not consistent either. On some that I try to open, they do not open, and when I return to the thumbnail display the thumbnail is now also. But on others I try to open I just see a completely white area where the photo should be. However (and this is really weird!) when I return to the thumbnail display after those I see very very briefly the photos as they will shrink to the size of the thumbnail, and then they are virgins thumbnails with clouds still...

  I wonder if I should change the preference of Photos of 'optimization of storage' to 'download the originals' in an effort to recover my thumb nails. It seems that I have almost 62 GB of free space on my Mac, and my Gallery of photos shows that there are currently 31GB. Or do I have to re - install the Photos app? (Is it possible?)

  Or is there a better solution to the problem please?

  Thank you for all the helpful tips.

  try to turn a thumbi = nail and reotating back - if it suits it you can do so for groups of up to about 1000 photos at once to correct quickly - how rebuild thumbnails in a photo library

• Difficulties with all versions of html files since the upgrade of the Sierra

  I have problems opening and dealing with htm, html, html5 files since the upgrade of the Sierra.  Someone else?

  Please provide details. What problems are you having? HTML files open in a web browser, the browser you are using?

• Random OS freeze or crash after the Upgrade of the Sierra

  Since the upgrade to Sierra, I started experiencing random freezes or crashes, the operating system.

  In general, I keep the mouse control (connected via trackpad), for at least a certain period of time. However, only the movement is possible - applications cannot be selected, there is no reaction to the clicks, etc. Attempts to pass via cmd + tab don't produce no result.

  I tried waiting for the system to respond. She finally slept, then crashed with a wake on the lack of sleep.

  The other answer is a hard reset by holding down the power until button a restart is forced.

  I ran disk in rescue mode utility, and he reported no problems with the disk. I've yet to try some of the more esoteric answers as reset NVRAM and so on... which is probably intended. I saw a report that said this problem was happening with El Capitan, and there is no resolution. I don't know if it's the same problem carried over, or a new.

  I got exactly the same problem you describe, on an iMac of retina of 2014. I've updated all non - App Store applications I have thought (and removed dozens of them), disabled launch points, unplugged my USB hub, downloaded EtreCheck (very useful application, incidentally) and road to combing through reports in the Library/Logs folder. On a Reddit thread on the problems with the Macs wake from sleep after installation of Sierra, someone suggested using the following command in a Terminal: kextstat | grep - v com.apple

  The command shows you what non-Apple kernel extensions are running in the background. Extensions of core apps such as Airparrot, strap, and duo caused problems with macOS Sierra. In my case, officer was running a kernel extension - then I deleted this app and went through my library/LaunchAgents and records of the library/LaunchDaemon, remove all items launch left by home and others deleted apps.

  EtreCheck reports said that so-called SIMBL caused several accidents. So I got rid of this, by following the instructions on the site SIMBL.

  Here's the problem: even after all these efforts (and each variant reset, I could think of) troubleshooting, nothing has changed. My Mac always has exactly the symptoms you describe, upon awakening from sleep. Every time.

  In the end I just gave up and restored my iMac to its State, 4 days ago in a backup using Time Machine. (It took 12 hours). With Dropbox, I didn't lose all of the work I've done in the meantime. So, I am now running a stable El Capitan, with an understanding to why people wait a few months before installing the latest OS updates.

  Sorry I can't offer more useful troubleshooting options - but perhaps some things that did not help me could help you anyway? Thanks for posting: it seems that the Sierra has been a pretty smooth update for most people, so I guess we're just out of luck?

• After the upgrade to sierra, shutdown is extremely slow

  stop takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Screen will Dim, computer does not respond, but the stop takes 5-7 minutes. In the system log, no problems are reported.

  I closed all the software running before shutdown (clamx-av, dropbox, owncloud), but no difference.

  Hi rmschaefer,

  Thanks for the upgrade to Mac OS Sierra! Looks like your Mac takes a bit longer at the right stop. Great way to make sure that all applications are closed before you stop. You can try to check your Mac logs or startup items. Your item journal are applications that run as soon as you start up your Mac. They can run in the background continuously slow down your machine. Sierra macOS: If you think you have incompatible connection points

  You can also check to see how much disk space you have on your Mac. With Mac OS Sierra, you can release and optimize your disk without effort space to allow your Mac to run to its full potential!  Information System for Mac: optimization of the storage on your Mac

  If the release of disk space on your Mac and the removal of the login items not solve the problem, try to start the Mac in Mode safe.  Try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up
  
  

  What is safe mode?

  Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening. From your Mac in safe mode does the following:
  Check your startup disk and attempts to fix problems if necessary directory
  Loads needed kernel extensions only
  Prevents elements start and the login items open automatically
  Disables the user installed fonts
  Delete font caches, hiding the kernel and other files of the system cache
  Together, these changes can help resolve or isolate issues related to your startup disk.

  These measures should have your Mac off normally as expected and the Mac OS Sierra also runs fluid it is supposed to. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question.
  Good day.

• Cannot move photos to the computer after the upgrade to iOS10

  Yesterday my iPhone updated to iOS 10 and now when I plug my phone into my PC (HP m6w103-dx / Windows 10 / iTunes 12.5.1.21) the computer will ba - beep once iTunes sync, charge the phone but I no longer have access to the photos via Windows Explorer folder.  The phone does not appear in Windows Explorer and I don't get the second ba - beep that normally, I had before the upgrade.

  I restarted the phone and the computer, then tried again with no luck.  I myself have sent pictures that were on my phone, deleted all of them film, then took some new pictures and tried again.  Still no luck.  Help!

  Your post is the 4th now ask about the same problem. One user solves the problem by connecting the phone to a different USB port on the computer. You might want to try it.

• Cannot connect to more than one mail account after the upgrade to Sierra

  I have several provided ISP e-mail accounts that work successfully for a long time on elCapitan.  After the upgrade to Sierra this afternoon cannot connect all accounts and I asks me to enter the password.  Why isn't Sierra pick up the passwords of my trousseau?

  Oddly enough, my Hotmail account seems to be ok.

  How can I fix this without having to re - enter all passwords?

  As a result of the foregoing, I found that my connection Keyring contains entries for all of my email accounts.  However, these dates are back in July 2011.

  After an episode of lost or stolen iphone, I had to update all of my passwords by e-mail in February this year (2016).

  Search in my keychain, I found dated entries for my email accounts in iCloud Keychain section.  I don't think that I never activated iCloud for my email.

  How the entires of e-mail account eventually sub iCloud and why the old entries from email account not updated?
