The ipad screen is white. Holding buttons didn't work so I restored it on iTunes. When I press home and on switch, the screen is white, goes black then back to white with no logo at all. Can't get past the white screen. This happened after running app updates. Is there any fix besides going to Apple store? In iTunes on computer can see what is on there. 16GB OS 7.1.1
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary. -
one of the key on my macbook pro is not working properly, can it be fixed by a cleaning spray or something. there is lot of dust in where I live and thought that might be the culprit. thanks Jason
Don't use any cleaning spray. Wipe with a moist but not wet microfiber cloth.
1. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own"
2.Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405 -
Help! from another thread, I read to look for the crash report and here is the latest one.

Alternatively, start up in single user mode (Command-S) and enter fsck -fy when the startup stops. Then reboot.
For myself, I always have an alternate startup drive available and Startup with the Option key depressed. This allows on the fly selection of the Startup drive and I select my alternate drive and then uses its tools, such as DiskWarrior to repair the drive of the Startup volume giving me problems. If you are using Lion, the Lion backup drive will appear and Disk Utility will be available.
Another alternative would be to startup with your original software installation CD. -
I can't restart my Macbook Pro after putting it to sleep. I now get a blinking light, then nothing. The computer will not start up, even after doing what is recommended in the mannual. Has anyone else had this problem? Were you able to solve it? How were you able to resolve it? Thanks for any help you can send my way. mt
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I live a 5 hour drive to my closest Apple store, so making a "Genius" appointment is not possible at this time. I have tried re-seating my memory cards, I have also tried using the original memory cards that I replaced in favor of more memory. I got the 3 beeps and 5 second pause 3 beeps indicating that the RAM doesn not pass integrity check. Am I still at the "Genius" appointment? Thanks for your help.

Macbook Pro Randomly Enters Sleep Mode For A Few Seconds
Hi All,
My Macbook Pro has had this problem since a few months after I purchased it. While working or playing the laptop will randomly go into what seems like sleep mode. The screen turns off, I hear the hard drive stop and then a couple seconds later it starts back up on its own. Any Internet connection I had disconnects, but other than that it starts up as normal.
The problem comes and goes and doesn't seem to be consistent with anything that I'm aware of. Sometimes it happens once, then doesn't happen for days. Often it will happen several times in a row over the course of an hour.
I've called support and brought the laptop to the genius bar where they ran several tests, but were unable to figure anything out. Research online has shown similar issues with other users, but no solutions. The laptop is not stacked on anything magnetic, the issue occurs when running hot or cold and whether I'm on battery power or plugged in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this can't be resolved is it something I can bring to apple and get a replacement under my year warranty?
Specs are below:

Please help, not sure what to do as my job entails burning multiple CD's and I also use my macbook to watch movies etc. Has only started happening recently as it used to work perfectly. I insert the disc and I can hear it reading it for a few seconds and then it just ejects by itself. Help please!
I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously. -
Need help resetting ipod touch? I have followed all the directions and still it goes back to ipod is disabled connect to iTunes.
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:

Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer -
I have had Firefox on this partion for several months. Yahoo indicated that I had to upgrade Firefox. It gave me a toolbar that I didn't want and couldn't remove. I uninstalled Mozilla. I have tried unsuccessfully to reinstall Firefox, including trying an older version. It goes through the process. When finished, the icon is a box, When i click on it, it defaults to have it deleted. It has a short message that says :
The item 'firefox.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
Do you want to delete this shortcut?
Yes NoTylerdowner, thanks for your reply. However, that's not it. I ended up solving the problem. The computer was bought for me by a business associate. The individual who he bought it from set up the computer for him. So the download was going to the default partition. I did a "custom" instillation and changed the name to me. It then installed properly.

Upgraded to Firefox6 a week ago when "suggested" by pop-up screen. Since then, computer will not open gmail using Mozilla but will access it through IE. I get the following message:-
* The connection has timed out
* The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web
What is the problem? Anything to do with "incompatibility with Microsoft and/or Google" - again?
I can access all my other regular sites through Mozilla.Apple's Wireless Diagnostics may supply some additional helpful information.
To use it, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
The following authentication dialog will appear:

The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and click Continue:
Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in additional information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
Click Continue.
The next step will also take a few minutes:
When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you. Let me know if it is.

I have just updated my iPhone iOS to 8.1.2. Since then, the camera is not able to upload photos to the album immediately and some are even lost. Does anyone have the same issue or know how to fix this?
I found it much easier to have my apps on the last page and let the pre-loaded apps stay where they are on the first couple of pages. While I'd prefer to have my apps first, at least they are all together. I found it far too much work to try to move them around another way, plus it shifts some things around in a way that I did not intend.
BTW, I definitely prefer the Fascinate's arrangement of the icons over the Droid X2, which is always in alphabetical order in a vertical non-stop continuum. -
My iPad shuts down apps after a few seconds.
Since a few days my iPad shuts down apps after a few seconds, while I am active with them. It happens with games as well as Safari and while I am reading eMagazines. What can I do? I am using the old iPad.
Try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
