• Help before you buy the new r4

  Hi all
  I would buy the new Alienware 17 and I want to know if the bios is locking to avoid installing windows 7 or Ubuntu? I intend to remove the Win10 and install Win 7, Win10, Ubuntu, and maybe a hackintouch. I did some research and some say it's the Secure Boot that who manages, but I have never has a laptop I don't know if it's true.
  It's my first Alienware.

  Hello.  I don't think that the BIOS itself is locked to any BONE, at least in a way that you can't turn off.  The biggest problem you'll have is to find drivers that work.  Intel went to bed with Microsoft of processors and chipsets before will not fully support or support at all, nothing below windows 10.  If you can find the drivers for the components inside the computer that works with Windows 7, then you shouldn't have any problem installing windows 7.

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  If the above is ZERO, the time to buy a new camera.

• I had to buy a new computer 1 month ago with Windows 10 on it. I tried to sync time some new music to ITUNES for my ipod. The computer doesn't recognize it. My playlist of library was transferred from my old computer. How can I fix it?

  I had to buy a new PC with windows installed 10. Earlier, I tried to download music from ITUNES to my ipod for the 1st time on the new PC. It does not recognize my ipod. All my playlists were transferred to the new PC. When I go into DEVICES, it says that the iPod software is up to date. What should I do?

  Have you installed the latest version of iTunes, downloaded from here?

  It does not recognize my ipod...

  In the latest version of iTunes, the iPod appears in iTunes as a small button of the device on the horizontal bar.  Here is a screenshot of the upper left corner of my window iTunes with my iPod button circled in red.

• New Alienware Aurora R4 freezes every time in 50 minutes

  I just got my new Alienware Aurora and oh joy, my first time owning this beautiful Monster - looking for a machine.  I have owned it now for five 5 days; but the experience so far has been frustration, to put it lightly.

  The machine never stays more than 60 minutes at a time.  It crashes.  When it crashes, I hear the fans always roll the led still under the display theme AlienFX I put and it seems that everything is fine, but:

  1. the SCREEN turns off

  2. the keyboard does not work, systems is not responding to strikes again... as the keyboard is dead.

  3 mouse works now.

  4. nothing works, except the DVD tray that always comes out and in.

  5 only the resolution is to force close it down and then turning it back on, via the power button.

  I just installed MS Office, my keyboard and my mouse.  Nothing complicated.  I've now adjusted the power management to ensure that the disc hard system, display, etc. NEVER goes to SLEEP.  Yet, the machine still crashes as usual.  I'm not even games.  Simply creating a document, or watching a training video.  I even decided to just share my training on the Alienware video file and watch the video from another computer; accidents still Alienware and my video stops.  I decided to disable Windows Update, still problem persists.

  I checked EventViewer for clues, NOTHING.  No log entry for when the system unresponsive.  What kind of a computer is what the hell?  I thought that with Alienware, I won't have any hassles, but this has been an exercise in troubleshooting non-stop for me since I got this computer; It became a distraction, as whenever I sit down to work, I find myself troubleshoot the computer each time.  I'm now trying to force me to forget everything and just use my old laptop; that I supposedly replaced when I upgraded to this Alienware machine.

  It's Sunday today, I intend to call technical support for Dell tomorrow to start the support process.  But to give up some lines here just to get feedback / if there are similar experiences that can shed some light on this problem.

  Please any response that can point me in the right direction will be appreciated.

  Hello

  Yes.  A quick update from my post.  I called Dell technical support on Monday 20 October 2014 and the guys were fantastic.  I spoke with a guy named Bogdan; He spent almost 3 hours working with me on the problem over the phone.

  I'll give you a detailed below:

  At the time that I called him, the computer was no longer able to boot the system.  This is because the previous night, I have run AlienRespawn default factory reset, but the shutdown of PC in the process and then was not start over; and instead showed the blue screen.

  So on the phone with Technical Support, we used AlienRespawn USB backup I had created the first day to reset the computer back to factory default.  And then I connected and put things up so that he can have the remote connection to the computer.  As soon as he connected, the computer decided to die just so :).  So we decided to do the Reboot usual cold.  And once again, as soon as it is connected and looking to run some test, the computer exploded again.

  On the third attempt, the computer remained.

  Bogdan then via a remote connection session, several controls and ran several stress-tests on virtually everything (RAM, CPU, graphics, etc.).  All tests came out, as adopted.  And then we installed software to monitor temperature and other stats like stress tests were running; all readings were really good.  Source of the problem was not yet clear.  We have been jointly shrink on two possible culprits, the graphics card or motherboard (or both in the worst case).

  As we are still brainstorming and then try the AlienFX theme colors, the computer decided that it was time to STOP, once again.  And this time it faced a 6 six sound beeps sound sequence several times.  He did this once before, the previous week.

  The machine had a mind of your own.  It was very random behaviors all the time.  He gave beeps when he wanted to.  He has changed the settings of the BIOS on its own; change the default settings, mode strives / EUFI, etc at random :).

  So we turned and technical support preserved in tests.  He also uninstalled and reinstalled the updated version of the Alienware Command Center.  Even after that, all the readings and the results were perfect, but then Switched OFF the machine once again.

  Makes technical support a call to change the four main components: motherboard, graphics card, MasterBoard and Water-Cooling system for the next day.   So I was expecting an engineer for the next day.  That evening, I decided to install all my software and turn on the computer to a State that is useful for my work and play.

  The morning next day (Tuesday), I decided to continue to use the computer and just keep restarting it out every time.  And then, at some point given around 10:00, he remained THERE for nearly two hours (first time he stayed on this long), I was pretty sure that the problem had gone for an unknown reason.  And to share the joy with my Mrs, the machine went OFF :).

  And this time it's completely DEAD.  It was not turn on anymore.  The LEDs and fan are turning on, but not to life on the screen, the keyboard or the mouse.  It remained so until the Dell technician came.

  To my delight, a Dell technician was at my door at about 14:00, with all the necessary parts.  He was also very friendly and empathetic.  He quickly set to work and replaced all suspect parts.  We went ON and, oh joy :).  The machine came back running.

  He made all necessary BIOS settings and my machine was fully operational.

  I used it for almost 2 days now and no problems at all so far.  It's been great, even if sometimes it's like the trauma remains... I still fear that he might simply turn off on me anytime.  But so far so good.

  So I can say at this moment, the issue is resolved and my device is fully operational.  Thanks for the support.  I hope that my very long story somehow help others who have a similar experience with their machine.

• Better to buy a new computer to repair?

  I am a disabled veteran and needed something to keep my mind and body busy.  Her husband is also a disabled veteran, but he doesn't have an interest in computers and games. He of more the kind of fishing.  We have been able to buy two computers on a year and a half after a tornado struck us, and our House was classified as a total loss.  Unfortunately, as much... we were underinsured and couldn't buy a new House so we worked on the reconstruction of our mobile home ourselves and made a few purchases like computers.  The computer that I had at that time there was shattered, and nothing has been left to work on. I've always used games and computers to deal with my disability so became quite nervous about not having a.  Yep, I'm an old lady, playing games.  However, we had another tornado hit close last week, but not directly.  A lot of lightning and power exploded about a day and a half.  When I was able to again turn on, the computer sounded like he was taking off.  I rebooted and the noise subsided, but I could tell that something was wrong.  I found the small device of 'hot spot', that I use to access the internet had come close to exploding.  Looks like the lightning entered the outlit, crossed this device, through the computer, then back to the zone reactive. Fortunately, another hotbox and another computer so I went online to do some research.  I have this one fed up to see exactly what he was doing.  It is not nearly the speed he was seized, and when I go to a gambling site, I can't get the load pump took.  He behaves as if there is not enough memory.  I disassembled the computer but nothing fixed on what the problem was.  I think it's something in the motherboard or possibly the CPU? I could not find anyone who wanted to work on a whole in a touch that was almost all integrated on the motherboard.   I looked for a restart but just do not see.  I used to build computers, but stopped when the technology was faster than my ability to learn. I take a person who manufactures computers, but said, that he would not be worth the cost of replacing motherboard and need to replace.   He said something that I've heard of a few others that I wasn't going to find an easy fix for this and the cost is probably higher to repair and replace, but to buy a new one that was technically up-to-date than my Aspire is.  I checked out the website and see that there is a computer is more oriented game than this particular model and when I add the cost of a monitor, it is still not as much as I paid for it!  My insurance company told to get some quotes for repair and they would cover the cost, but I wonder if it would be better to go there and to opt for the next model upward?  I know that I have a little time to get the information that them... and do not know what I have to do.  Someone had their computers break down and the cost of repairs is more than buying a newer version? I guess it would be better if I tell you what computer I have.  It is and ACER Aspire Z3101U4062, 1 TB hard drive, 4 GB of DDR3 memory, Windows 7 Home premium, AMD Athlon IIX2 240th double heart proc., NVIDIA GeForce 9200 graphics, DVD Super Muilti one Multi card reader drive, Lan integrated 10/100/1000 & wireless network, has no upgrade to Windows 8, but had the ability to do it since I bought the right to the computer before winning 8 came out.  I added more memory and had didled to the registry to speed it up and was looking to upgrade the hard drive and thought I'd go with a quad core, but when I checked the stats, all the rest will need to be upgraded too.  In any case, I use my HP lap top that well with the game but I preferred the desk top.  Oh the monitor is a 21 1/2 inch touchscreen multimedia Full HD 1080 p.  I was also wondering if there was a trade in the program but I couldn't find anyone who would make up a trade.  Geeze, I reread and it looks like I'm babbling! I'm going through the forums and do research more.

  Thank you to have an answer so quickly.  But, alas... I guess that just, it wasn't meant to be.  I did a recovery without success.  Fortunately for backup... discs would have taken to always for some applications load again.  Has chosen to not load at all since she had no adverse effects or positively.  I have a laptop that is more suited for games with its i7 2 TB HD, 8 GB memory and so on so forth.  I would have liked to try a water cooled computer, but right now it would be just something I'm going to dream.  At the time wherever I can afford something like Alienware, my grandchildren have grandchildren.  I went with one of the techs that I showed earlier computer showed me a game that really made me drool and I can build myself.  Oh sure... When my ship comes and checks in the mail and it won't hurt a lot and I'll be back in a few minutes and I'm sure that I turned on the stove top until I leave the House... all is proving to be the reality instead of... Oh nvm... you know what I mean.  After making a recovery here made me realize that I have to clean the lap top and make new spiffy as.  I usually do this once a year and clean it like we did in MID.  Yes... I know.. military intelligence... I have to go to work on the car with my husband right now, but will be back to read some more of the forums.  There will are much smarter that I am and I see so many good advice... but I must read more.  Thanks again

  I broke my screen, and now cannot drag to open it.  I have an alarm that don't go. I can let the battery die I know but I really want to be able to access and examine what are the texts I received today. I think that my ICloud is can be disabled. I also want to synchronize my phone before I take it buy a new one.  Is it possible to synchronize and watch my calendar for the next few days?

  Without entering your access code, it is not possible, unless your time is in iCloud. If this is the case, connect to iCloud.com to check your calendar.

  Good luck.

• Recommendations on buying a new computer

  Hello

  It's time to get a new computer.  I think that I would be happy with something comparable to what I have now.  I did some research for online retailers, but I hesitate to buy online from the loading of all my programs and files from my old could be a challenge... never done this before.  Should I buy a local Apple Store?

  Thank you

  Do what makes you more comfortable. A local Apple Store will usually transfer your files for you if you buy from them. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar in Apple and go for a visit.

• How to upgrade a G570 instead of buying a new laptop!

  Hello guys, I'll try to help you turn your old laptop to a monster based on my experiences of real... I decided to upgrade my G570 instead of buying a new laptop a few months ago. The reason was I was satisfied with my laptop and new computer did not have the card I had in my mind. And of course the phones for my requests were around $2,000 cycle. I realized that the most important part of a PC is its disk hard when it comes to performance. I have been using PC for almost 17 years and I tried to upgrade my ram and hard drive all the time like 90% of normal pc users on Earth. A friend of mine who is an it engineer advised me to use SSD instead of HARD drive. So I looked on the net on how to put my HARD drive to SSD. You can do it on your own after this wonderful http://www.insidemylaptop.com/upgrading-memory-hard-drive-lenovo-g570-laptop/ guide I bought 2 cylinders 4 GB 1333 sodimm and changed the old Rams with them. Then I changed my HARD drive with a 120 GB SSD which is high enough for today's technology. The result is my windows 7 greets me in 7 seconds! I couldn't believe my eyes... Then I bought a DVD burner drive hard transformer support that you can easily find in the market. I put the dvd drive and put my old 500 gb HDD in there. Now, I have 2 hard drives on my G570... Now, I'm looking for ways to improve my i7 processor, although I don't need... Just to finish my work... In this way, I have a great portable quick spend about $250 instead of buying a new laptop for $ 1500-2500

  Thanks Dave, I only tried to think different and it worked very well. After the purchase of 8 laptops I had something too important: buying a new pc is not always the best solution. Yes, we have a new system but each system comes with its own problems and sometimes I miss my old PC. I hope this will help some ppl to decide on what it takes to succeed on a budget. Furthermore, I spoke with technicans of lenovo support and I was told that this motherboard and cpu is optimized for the best performance for the upgrade of this processor will be able to ask possible break down of the motherboard so I won't upgrade my cpu. To be honest, I really don't need that at the moment. Love to all...

• Buy the new iMac and need help to understand the new options

  Replacement of the motherboard of my 2009 end iMac is unaffordable, so I'm looking to buy a new one. But the 'talk' has my head swimming. I know I want a 21.5 inches and that's it. My biggest complaint to my death machine now it was slow. However, I attributed as uVerse (Internet) and not my Mac; Maybe I was wrong?

  My previous was 33. GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB, DDR3, a SATA 1 TB disk. I'm an independent publisher, it's full of documents, PDF files and tons of photos but apart from that... I did not use the design software (although I want to go in this area) and pretty much could have several tabs in Safari, Facebook, Word and Adobe open at the same time... nothing too taxing.

  So what do I need? I read everything I can find and I can't yet answer that question!

  Do I need a Fusion player (and what it is anyway)?

  What is the difference between a Fusion of 1 TB drive and a 256 GB or 512 GB flash drive?

  If I get in InDesign or Quark, Photoshop, will it take more RAM so I should just go with 16 now?

  Is the standard 2.7 GHz quad-core i5 processor fast enough, or should I switch to 2.9 or even the quad of 3.1 GHz with i7 processor? (allowing it to run faster, more RAM or higher processor?)

  Any advice or the definition terms would be MOST appreciated! Thank you!

  In your situation, I would buy the 1 TB drive fusion, quad-core processor i5 2.7 GHz with 16 GB of RAM. The RAM is perhaps an exaggeration, but you cannot add it later these days so I think 16 GB is safe. You should get a noticeable performance gain compared to your current system.

  IME, most of the complaints "My Mac is slow" result of naïve users be swindled by adding the third "crapware" such as antivirus programs, "cleaners", "optimizers" and "extensions". After a report of EtreCheck for your current computer see if it is the problem.

  It is possible that adding an SSD in your current setup will give you the extra boost you are looking for, but if you use the machine to make a living, I'd be inclined to think that 7 years is old enough. Be sure to ask your accountant and covers the cost of your new machine against the tax.

  Please take the opportunity to review your backup strategy. When it's your life on the line, you must have at least two external drives for backups. Keep one off-site and on-site, and rotate each week.

• How can I remove all the GAMES that come when you buy a new laptop?

  The last time that I removed the games on another computer, she erased some items needed for other uses. I have the kids use games & would like to have the extra space.   I have a Toshiba 3GBSDRAM, 250GB HDD, thank you very much! Faith F

  Hello, faith

  Please use the Forum for answers!

  I'm moving your post on Gaming forum where you'll find a community better suited to answer your question.

  Some manufacturers may include third-party games when you buy a new computer, these will have to be uninstalled separate of Windows games. You should be able to uninstall most of the applications, including games, in the section programs and features in Control Panel.

  To access the programs and features, click Start and select Control Panel. In Control Panel, click programs and then programs and features. Third-party software, select the application you want to uninstall, and then click Uninstall just above the list.

  To uninstall the games provided by Windows Vista, go to programs and features, and then click Turn Windows Features On or Off in spots on the left. You may be prompted for an administrator password or to continue. It can take a bit of the screen of Windows features to complete loading. In the Windows features page, clear the check box next to games and click OK. Windows may ask you to reboot after it's finished work.
