The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue.  Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

  • I have an iphone 4s, I installed Vtok but the video chatting part of the app is not working when I try to chat with my husband through gmail on his PC. Can I fix this or is there another app that will let me chat with my gmail chat contacts?

    Vtok video chatting is not working on my iphone 4s. When I try to do a video chat with my gmail chat contacts who are using a PC we each only get the voice part of the chat and no video. Is there some way to fix this or is there another program that will let me video chat with my gmail chat contacts? Thank you.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • I have a macbook pro.  I want to print to a Dell photoprinter 720.  Is there a driver for my mac that will let me use my printer?

    Dell only provide some rather old Windows drivers for this model, no Mac drivers at all.
    Plug it in, you may get lucky but frankly I doubt it.

  • Pdf reader that will let me print the current page number to stdout ?

    I'm looking into annotating my readings, and it'd really speed things up if I were able to get the current page number printed to stdout.
    I've been through evince and xpdf's manuals, the latter will let you output the file to ps, so there might be some hacking possible there, but maybe there is a more convenient alternative...?
    Would appreciate some suggestions.
    Cheers !

    Sure that works, it's just that I'm already wrapping my pdf reader in a ruby script to allows me to make annotations linking back to the original document and page, and I also use the clipboard to quote.
    So instead of being a keybinding away, I end up have to juggle with windows...

  • TS2755 I just upgraded to a 5s. In the switch I am now only getting my daughters texts as emails and I am not getting any tets from my client. How do I fix this.

    I just upgraded to an 5s. in the switch i am no longer able to get any texts from my client and all of my daughter's texs come only as email to my outlook instead of text. What do I need to switch in my settings?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

    It works with all iPods.  It is free for the 4G iPod.  For earlier iPod you have to subscribe to the paid MibileMe account.

  • Is there a way with OS X ( 10.5.2 ) that woud let me see the voltage ?

    Not too sure if this is posted in the right place .? Where I live I have a constant problem with the Mains voltage coming into my home, The mains voltage fluctuates up and down in Voltage, Ive installed a UPS , which is doing a good job, but due to me not being able to find a UPS that includes suitable voltage monitoring software for an Apple Mac computer,( I could only find a UPS with Windows software included) So I have to keep my small home made volt meter plugged into the USP to monitor the voltage to my iMac, I would really like to find some way to see what the voltage is going into the iMac , and display this on my screen, So here's my question .. does any one know a way I can see the actual voltage thats running my iMac and display that voltage on the screen , is there a setting some where with in OSX , that would allow me to see this ..?
    Thanks

    Go to Amazon.com and search for:
    P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor
    One of its front-panel settings allows the unit to display the voltage.

  • When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address.  If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad.  How do I stop this?

    When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address.  If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad.  How do I stop this?

    On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
    (I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
    Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right.

  • How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

  • I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?

    iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
    Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions.

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.
