I bought my Mac Air 13' in August. Black screen problems constantly happens. I asked some of my friends who also use Air. They share the same experience. Overall, it is a pretty good computer. But it bothers me when I do work and it suddenly goes black.

without more information, I assume you mean a blackout from sleep issue.
Go to system preferences > energy settings > raise the "turn display off" setting up to as needed, say 5 mins. or 10 mins.
AND ...
unchecked the "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" in both the battery and power adapter tabs.
test it and check back

  • When searching the web, I do not have a forward or back arrow on my tool bar. I understand from a friend, who also has Mozilla/firefox, has the same problem. He said that it is available on earlier versions???

    I was wondering if I deleted Mozilla, and downloaded it again, if this would clear up my problem?? or would I still have the same problem? It is hard for me to believe that your program would not have this feature.
    what appears on my toolbar is
    File...Edit...History...Bookmarks...Tools...Help
    Search- web search -Xfinity.com (current open page)
    Xfinity ( search ) IM, mail, voice mail, constant guard, XF channels, videos, free games, weather

    You can go back more than one page in history if it exists by clicking it again.
    If you mean the History drop down menu, then either left-click and hold or right-click them.

  • We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer but unable to get bookmarks from old drives to new.

    Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer, installed firefox however I have no idea in which file the old bookmarks are located. I still have the old files for firefox in the old drives.

    Your "Firefox personal data", like bookmarks, are stored in your Profile folder in Firefox. See this support article about how to recover that data from that old hard drive and transfer it your your new Profile.

  • I was trying to update my ipod to the latest iOS version (5.1) but I got a notification that the update had failed. It was still functioning normally until a while later when it stopped working and all that is displayed on the screen is the itunes logo

    and a USB. I tried resetting it severally by pressing the sleep & home button but that didn't help. I also uninstalled all my itunes related programs and reinstalled them but I'm still yet to fix the problem. Whenever I connect the ipod to my computer, windows seems to pick up on new hardware having been connected but you can't view the files on the ipod through itunes or my computer. The computer acknowledges that something has been connected but for some reason the ipod ain't being recognised.
    ps- All I want to do is solve this problem so I don't mind losing all the files I had on the ipod as it wasn't much anyway.

    Did you try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • Do two dot mac email accounts have to share the same address book?

    I have a dot mac account with 2 email accounts. Do we both have to share the same address book? It's pretty much a hassle for both of us to have our personal contacts all mixed together. Thank you!

    I guess we actually don't have a good reason. There are 4 family members using the computer, it's usually on all the time, and I guess we thought it would be easier to be able to just jump on and off without switching. But if that is the only way to have separate address books we may have to set it up that way. So do you think thats pretty much what we have to do?

  • Two ODSs share the same InfoSource but with different updata mode load?

    We've got two different ODSs (ODS1 and ODS2) for two respective clients (client 1 and client 2).  Client 1 has already going alive and in the InfoPackage, we only pick up ODS1 (Client 1) as feeding target and we have conducted initial load and several times of Delta loads for ODS1 (data load daily).  But now we are going to start to load data to ODS2 (Client 2) and at the same time we will have to continue our delta load to ODS1. 
    It could not be possible that the two ODSs will be feeded data with different pace (ODS1: continue delta load, ODS2: initial load) if they share the same InfoSource.  Then what's the best way to resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    hi Pradip,
    Tell you a bad news that the solution doesn't work on two of the EBP (a source system which is similar to R3, we've got 4 EBP ODS/InfoSources, but two of the four don't work with the last step listed below) ODSs/InfoSources.  The steps I took on production are:
    1. Conduct Full Repair data load to ODS2;
    2. Delete init option of ODS1 from Scheduler menu;
    3. Run Init without data transfer to set delta pointer for both ODS1 and ODS2.
    But the last step to run Init without data transfer has taken 1 whole day and eventually becomes red since it takes so long time to set delta pointer. 
    When I said our solution worked is that I conducted the test on our GL ODS and the Init without data transfer took about 1 hour to finish. 
    Also when we conduct the last step to do the Init without data transfer to click Start button to set pointer, a msg box titled "Activate ODS Data" pops up saying that "No requests have been selected for activation. Do you want to make a selection, or activate all the requests?" with buttons "Activate all requests", "Select requests" and "Cancel".  If clicking the button "Select requests", another msg box pops up to prompt to input a Date range, we didn't input any date range, just click continue, then the Init without data transfer will run forever!
    Thank

  • I currently have an iphone that i connect to my mac air to download music, i have now bought a nano for my wife can we use both devices on the same air without any problems???

    i currently have an iphone that i connect to my mac air to download music, i have now bought a nano for my wife can we use both devices on the same air without any problems???

    My wife and I both have the iPhone 4 and it's actually pretty simple. Add another user on your MBA (her) and she can use the other iTunes when she is logged in. The iTunes is empty and will erase her iPhone, so be sure that she syncs her iPhone, then back up her library onto a portable media device like I did (SD Card) and reload it onto her empty iTunes on your MBA before she attempts to sync with it.
    Works well...

  • HT201335 I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

    I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

    You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

  • I'm trying to print a pdf I created and posted on my website, it looks good online but is missing data when printed, help.

    I'm trying to print a poster I created and posted on my website, it was created in power point, saved as pdf, and uploaded using wordpress. It looks good online but is missing data when printed. It contains almost all the information except for about 6 lines, which happen to be important. Any thought are appreciated.

    No its weird, everything was the same. I sort of resolved it, since he can view the PDF fine on his comupter but also wanted to print it, I just exported all the slides as JPEGS and made a new InDesign book with those on the pages and exported that as a PDF. Seemed to work for him, I just don't know what happened!

    Hello,
    I was unable to reproduce the behavior that you saw.  I was able to deploy my application with the Linear Fit PtByPt without issues.
    Could you attach the smallest piece of code that reproduces this behavior so that I can test it as well?

  • If two people use one computer, but we have separte itunes accounts, Apple ID, and icloud will my apps I get be stored in their account too since we are using the same computer?

    If two people share the same computer, but have separate itunes account, Apple ID, and icloud and one of them downloads an app will it also go into the other persons account since y'all use the same computer

    If you  have separate user accounts on the computer, then your downloaded apps are stored in your iTunes Library. See the following for dealing with having multiple users on the same computer: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer.
    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • We have two Apple ID's but share the same computer....that runs Itunes...How do i setup Icloud for ea. user ID?

    We have two Apple ID's but share the same computer....that runs Itunes...How do i setup Icloud for ea. user ID?

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc.  When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.
