My apple ipod is not compatible with my acer laptop?
Is it true that my apple ipod isn't compatible with my acer laptop that's why if i connect my ipod to it, it won't charge but instead, after i unplug it, the battery reduces. my acer laptop is in windows xp. I really don't know what to do. please help. I have itunes and it is the latest version.. If ipods cant be incompatible, then what happened to my ipod?

Do you have iTunes installed on your laptop? In most computers, you need the program to act as a driver for your iPod.
2 :
Firstly, an iPod cannot be incompatible... You'll need to download iTunes.. also, if you have iTunes, make sure that it is the latest version and download the latest updates.
3 :
No, your ipod is fully compatible with any windows pc from XP and newer, so that is definitely not the problem. The problem many be the usb port and or cable, try changing either one or both of those, so you can get an adequate charge, if those fail, just reset or restore your ipod :)

if its fits it should work
2 :
maybe or maybe not. Because there maybe different voltage between 2 laptop charger. If you use one for another, it will cause over voltage or lower voltage or if you lucky , it may be usable. Btw, You should look at spec of your charger before you do that.
3 :
NO NO NO they would have to have identical voltage and wattage outputs and they don't
4 :
NO, they use different voltage and power, you may mess up your laptop, chargers can be cheap if u look on ebay, they work, just fine, just get that instead of possibly messing up your laptop
5 :
No its not suggestible more over harmful, use 4 the same make is always better N safe N secure.

Can you replace or add another video/graphics card on an Acer Laptop?
Ive got a couple games i like to play but they are pretty laggy after i play for a few minutes..... so i figured it might be my video card. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5720z with a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. It says thats the Display adapter so i believe thats the video card. Any ideas?

Buy a new laptop otherwise you can't have another video card installed.Sorry, but there's no other way =/

how do i connect my acer laptop to my isymphony tv?
i have the acer aspire one, and the isymphony tv. the tv box said you can connect your laptop to the tv to view your laptop screen on tv. in the manual it only shows how to control the menu, not how to connect. i am not sure if you have to use a cord, or if it is wireless. how do i connect to my tv? thanks in advance. :) i'm pretty sure we already have the hdmi cable set up, but it isn't connected to my laptop, i think it is connected to the cable box.

Acer laptop (Aspire 1660)

Posted on 07:57 by Unknown

Is there a "Battery Auto Learning" for Acer laptop batteries like there is for Gateway laptop batteries?
I've found instructions for Battery Auto Learning for Gateway laptop batteries within the BIOS, but I have an Acer laptop (Aspire 1660), and when I tried to follow those directions, the "Battery Auto Learning" option was not listed. Is there a way for me to do a similar function on my computer as Gateway users have?

I believe, this technology was used for laptop powered by Nicad batteries . Nicad batteries were affected by the memory effect and this technology allowed you to reduce the risk of killing your battery premarturaly due to the memory effect. Since laptops now have Lithium Ion batteries, the memory effect is no longer a problem and I don't believe this would be of any good use for your current Acer laptop.

3 :
Easy way is just replace the default wallpaper with the one you like. Location - C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\ The new wallpaper will be visible only after you log off or restart. Or you can install a theme manager like http://www.stardock.com/products/thememanager/

First you need to know who actually wrote the BIOS. During the start up screen it will tell you. If you cannot get a start up screen, you will have to take the laptop apart and find the BIOS tag. Usually, it will say something like "Phoenix" or "Award" or "Ambi" and a version number. Then look up that maker, + beep codes in Google. That should do it. If not let us know, good luck and God bless.

Oh, you should get the installers. For the mic, generally, when you install the O/S, the sound card driver gets automatically installed, so you may not have to worry about the mic. However, for the camera, you may have to go to the manufacturer's website and get the driver relevant to your O/S.
2 :
If you are using the recovery procedure supplied with laptops nowadays then yes for the onboard sound. Yes for the mic and web cam if they are built in the laptop. but if they are extra units to the laptop then No for the webcam. The webcam should have come with a setup cd

How do I reformat my Acer laptop?
I have an Acer Aspire 3620 laptop. I'm not much of a tech person, so I need step by step instructions.I've already backed up everything I want to back up and I have the backup disks I made when I first got the laptop. A friend reformatted it for me once before, so the disks have been used once, so if I have to make new ones, could you also explain how to do that too?

Hi S Acer has a backup on the D partition of your Laptop. What you need to do is reboot and hit the F11 key... It will bring you automatically to the build in recovery partition and it will re-install the factory default without the use of your CD. Once installed, you can re-install your software after.

It can be done but it's very, very difficult. I would take it to a shop and have them look at it. It's not something I would do at home.
2 :
The A/C charger port pin is soldered onto the mother board and can be re soldered. It usually cost about $100.00 to have it repaired at a computer center.
3 :
Not a job for the do at home project, the new jacks are real inexpensive. I would not try ans salvage an old one
4 :
If the only thing wrong with the 2nd pc is the screen, it would probably be much easier to put the good screen on it and use it instead (if it's as good a PC #1). Swapping a screen should be fairly easy. Changing a power jack harder and costlier.

Memory and Hard drives are the only sure bets. Any pcmcia card you had for the old one also. You might be able to salvage and sell the battery and battery charger on Ebay. You could also sell the DVD if it's removable.
2 :
i would take the ram, dvd drive and the battery out to to use for spares. you can also just hook up an external monitor to your old laptop, switch the display to the monitor, then under your power options switch : "When close lid" from "sleep" to "do nothing". now you have a very slimline, perfectly functional desktop pc. you could grab a little envision flatscreen monitor for like nothing these days.
3 :
It can be said that the two brands of notebooks, not too big or availability. The same is true of memory, and you can not be different models of normal use. I see you intended to sell a bad notebook, in exchange for money to buy new parts to upgrade. So some of the security. Do not hamper the new.

No. Apple designed Mac OS to run only on their hardware. They do use Intel CPUs, but they manufacture their own motherboards, which are different from those found in standard PCs. Each Apple motherboard has a security chip on it. If the OS doesn't find that chip, it won't install or run. The only way around this is to install an illegally cracked version of the OS. If you manage to do this, the next problem is that Apple only provides drivers for their own hardware. You'll need to write drivers for your hardware.

Hi! I recently was given an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop and was said I could keep it if I got it to work. It runs Windows 7 Ultimate. The problem is that no external connections work - neither USB, nor Ethernet/LAN nor the internal CD drive (and therefore I can't even reinstall windows).

go into bios and turn enable those things that you say dont work. To enter BIOS restart the machine and it will say "press ? to enter setup" this maybe the F1,F2 or Del key or another. Look around the menu and try to find where it mentions usb and ethernet and all the things you say dont work, then enable them or do this below Enter setup and load fail safe and defaults. Although have you tried restarting the machine and repeatedly tapping F8 and choose last known good config or safe mode?Could you try this please? I am thinking they spilled water on the keyboard and messed up the motherboard, but that thought might not be true good luck

I cant get vista to recover on my acer laptop?
I don't know what happened but my laptop if screwed up. It will not boot into vista, just to what i call recovery mode. (where you have several options on fixing the problem which i cant get to work) i used the recovery cds but nothing. ALT-F10 will not work either, it just freezes, im stuck. what can i do? Also, i already called acer and they won't help because its no longer under warranty.

You might have bad hard drive.
2 :
what have you done? any scans for virus's, malware or spyware? That would be my first choice, then if none of that works then the recovery cd's, maybe find a reputable IT person and try, yes it will cost. I can't understand acer not helping, it is their product they should help you either way, just charge you if out of warranty? I don't know if the recovery disc's are auto run ,they should be, maybe go into BIOS and check you boot order to set CD at first, save and exit then put you cd in and see if it boot from a restart?
3 :
ALT and F10 should work it is a primary function of Acer. Just in case you are not doing it right. Hold ALT and repeatedly press F10 when the Acer logo is on screen at start up .If you have never made any backups the only option you can select is factory. There is one thing if you have never used the ACER recovery before it may not be enabled . To enable press F2 when the ACER logo is on screen at start up .Your mouse will not work so use the arrow and enter keys. Select main from the list Then enable D2D recovery ( recovery from hard disc partition in "D) The recovery is kept hidden in the "D" drive to stop corruption from viruses etc If all this fails i suspect your hard drive is duff.
4 :
take it to a local repair facility for an evaluation

The cost of the LCD panel is going to be approx $80-100, fitting probably 2hrs work. However if the screen has 'lines all over it' then it probably indicates other problems. It may be easier and more cost effective to just buy a new one.

Sounds like yur computer is booting to a CD or a recovery program. I would look at the startup and see what it's booting to or see what program is running when your PC starts up. You may have to go into Safe Mode and see if the computer will boot with minimum drivers and progams running. You need to get the ERecovery program turned off so that you can start your PC with all drivers and programs normally again!
2 :
verify your boot priority is set to defaut in the BIOS. F2 at Acer screen>scroll to Boot priority> tap f9 to load default settings.> yes to confirm> f10 to save and exit. *Note before exiting remove any discs in the cd rom drive. unit should load back to acer screen and directly to OS. if all else fails power the unit down completely remove the battery and the ac adapter and hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds. after this plug everything back in and attempt to power on. unit should stop attempting to resume any processes after this.

two options: 1. buy portable hard-drive, which you can connect through usb port, use it to store your valuable data. 2. go to your local computer repair shop they will be able to transfer data from one hard-drive to other just by connecting both to 1 machine.

wifi is built in so just find a signal and go.If not get a router at home.
2 :
If the laptop doesn't have integrated wifi, then you'll have to get a wireless card for it.
3 :
Over by where the time is, there should be a little arrow pointing to your left. Click on it. Scroll over to where it'll say Wireless Connections. Click on that. It should say something like view local networks. Click on that. And look for one with full bars and one that has the unlocked signal. Then you should be all set.

A friend is having Acer laptop computer problems?

Posted on 03:18 by Unknown

A friend is having Acer laptop computer problems?
So one of my friends has an acer laptop, i forget what kind, and she told me that as soon as she plugs it in for charge the Wifi card stops working. Is this a common thing with Acer Laptops? Or is it just another problem? Can you help me out so I can help my friend?

1 :
same yes its common... is that seriously the only problem uve had with it??? wow ur lucky! mine is now a desktop lol, the battery broke, the trackpad and motherboard went, lol every time u have a problem bring it in for warranty... until u have enough money for a mac. so i switched to mac! once u go mac ull never go back!
2 :
This problem cannot be diagnosed remotely, a certified technician should take a look at it.
3 :
Acer are rubbish You get a working one and its great but if it breaks they can be a nightmare What model has she got i would recommend reloading all the drivers http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads.html go to here find her model then download the drivers for her model and operating system if this still doesn't work then take it to a computer shop for diagnostics i would imagine that the motherboards power controller is overloading the wifi card and stopping it from working
4 :
Check the power options. On my Acer Aspire 5720Z if I unplug it from the mains it will reduce any un-necessary power consumption i.e. dimmed screen, HD's spin down, and the WiFi is shut off. This doesn't happen when I plug it in though.
5 :
yeah take it to someone who will fix that that happened to my teachers computer and it was fixed in no time!
6 :
The wi-fi card shouldn't stop working just because she plugs in the charger. This has never happened to me on my laptop, so I am going to guess that she has maybe a loose connection somewhere that shows itself when she plugs in the charger. Maybe her wi-fi card isn't plugged in solidly or something is loose inside the laptop so that when she plugs in the charger, the movement around the charger socket causes something to open up inside. These are just speculations since I'm not there in front of the laptop to see for myself what's going on.
7 :
There is a hardware problem in your friend's computer. The best action to undertake is to take the shop to an Acer warranty or support center. There may be other causes that the center can point out.
8 :
I agree with Dan S - I dislike laptops they are fragile and the cost of repairs out weighs the money you spend to buy them. However, being a student or in some professions laptops are needed and I also was lucky enough to get a Mac book laptop for my birthday -Apple is just better when it comes to laptops - and I am a serious PC person. Apple is also better for people who have no computer knowledge and the life of their computer are longer. I also must say that the Apple support staff and tech people are educated and you do not get someone from India (nice people) trying to assist you. I never had any problems with my Acer, which is one of the better laptop - but I sold it when I got my Mac book. Hopefully you have it under warranty - best not to try to fix it yourself just send it in and if possible sell it and get a Mac book!

how do I transfer programs from computer to a memory stick to download on Acer laptop?
Acer laptop doesnt take CDs I need to get programs from my computer & I have a memory stick I dont know what to do!!??

1 :
With the memory stick plugged in, locate your files you are transferring by opening Explorer and going to the physical folder. Select your files or an entire folder, then right click and "send to" and "Removable Drive". Note that memory sticks only store up to as much as you purchased. The highest is around 20GB, but external hard drives stores up to 1TB like an internal drive.
2 :
If you mean a usb flash drive what you do is plug it into one of your computer's usb ports then you would go to my computer and double click the usb flash drive out of the list and drag whatever files you want to put onto it into that area and it will write them to the flash drive.

OMG. The same thing happened to me. and it happened on my HP too. It's not really something you can fix with out a TON of tinkering and a lot of patience. I actually got so frustrated while trying to fix the keys, that I ripped one of because I got pissed off. Don't do that. It just starts a chain reaction.
2 :
Throw it in the trash, and then buy an Apple macbook.
3 :
you dont have to throw it in the trash, you have to buy a new laptop key or new retainer clip, check out www.replacementlaptopkeys.com they will have what you need in stock, good service, i have personally used them many times. good luck.
