2 year old 30" Cinama HD Apple display, brightness not adjusting properly..

My monitor has been off for about a week and a half and now this morning it is dark and the brightness control won't stay up where it should be, it keeps sliding back down. Anyone experience this before? What should I do? The screen is so dark...

Working now, guess it just needed to warm up after the long holiday break.

B540P Display brightness not adjustable

Hello,
i have just bought the Lenovo B540P VDZ9EGE (i5, GT650M, Windows 8 64bit)) and i have a problem. I can not change the screen brightness, neither with touch on the button of the screen, nor in Windows 8. In Windows 8 it says: not available and I can not click on it. The screen brightness is always on the highest setting I think. It would be nice, if you could help me. Thank you very much. I apologize for my english.

hi BK86,
If you have the IdeaCentre™ B540p (3363) with the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT650M, can you try to :
1. Update the display driver to GeForce 314.07 DriverVersion 314.07 - WHQL from the nvidia website.
2. Run Windows Update to get the latest patch and bug fixes.
After doing the steps above, try to press the brightness Up or Down button on the LCD panel

Hope this helps.

Apple TV Is Not Reacting Properly To My Remote

Howdy Folks!
So since yesterday my Apple TV is not reacting properly to my remote. Now I click on the remote button and the light switches from that pure white light on the front to a golden light. So it is receiving a signal from the remote.
Only nothing happens. The only reaction from the Apple TV I get is the color switch. Is there anything I can do? Has anyone heard of this before? It is especially frustrating as there isn't another input so I can't poke around at the settings.
Any help or direction would be appreciated!

Your remote has been disabled.
Follow the steps provided in this Apple article.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304977
Here are the steps from the article:
To re-enable the remote:
1) Unpair the remote by holding down the Previous/Rewind and Menu buttons for 6 seconds (this can be done using any Apple remote).
2) Then pair the remote by simultaneously holding down the Next/Fast-Forward and Menu buttons for 6 seconds.

Have a bit of a problem. I'm trying to adjust the resolution on a 2013 27" iMac. Brand new, bought on April 6 2013 from Apple. My friend is 84 years old so, I'm trying to help him adjust the screen so he can see the screen. Any direction would be great.

OK. Have a 84 year old that has a hard time seeing the screen. I've been able to adjust Safari's resolution to accomadate him however, I would like to adjust the screen resolution. When I open preference's / displays, it doesn't have an option to adjust. Is there a way? Maybe thourgh terminal? The computer is the new 27" iMac purchased on April 6, 2013 from Apple. Yes, it is the newest iMac without the disk (DVD) drive. It's running Mountian Lion.
Anyone have some direction on how to solve this enigma???
bish

The purchase date isn't the important info here. The actual model of the iMac is and this info is in the model identifier. For example, I have a late-2012 iMac, model identifier is iMac 13,2. I will add that there is no 2013 model available. The most recent at this time is the late-2012 model which I have.
On my display if I select Apple->System Preferences->Displays then press the button "Display" I am presented with a screen which shows Resolution and Scaled as button options. "Best for built-in display" is the default, however, clicking on "Scaled" brings up the various resolutions that can be used with the display:
From this I can select a display with larger items, but keep in mind that while a larger image can be selected (using a smaller width x height value) it will not be as crisp and sharp as the default.

Just realised my 7 year old has used my apple id and spent a lot of money. am i able to get a refund?

Just realised my 7 year old has been using my apple id. God knows how he remembered it. He has spent a lot of money. Has any one experience of this? Am i able to get a refund?

Maybe. You can ask:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
iTunes says all sales are final but they may make an exception

I am trying to figure out why my Apple ID is not working properly.

So at first i was trying to install some new apps from the app store on my iphone 4. And a message box kept popping up saying i needed to "agree to itunes terms of use" and so i would click on it so that i could agree and there was a little box that said "send to email" so i tried clicking on it and nothing would pop up, it was as if it wasnt even a button. So i tried scrolling all the way to page 52 and there was no button that said "agree" or anything like that. So just now i created a new apple ID and i deleted my old icould account and then i signed in the apple store with my new apple ID and password. So then i proceeded to install an app from the itunes store so i typed in my new ID and password and then a little message box popped up saying "This Apple ID has not yet been used in the Itunes store" so i click "review" and it says to choose my country and click next so i click United States and i scroll down but theres no "next" button. like its just blank.
can someone please help me...

Go To: Settings > General > Usage
This page lists all of the apps that are on your phone,and shows you how much space each is using. It shows 10 apps, and at the bottom of the list is an option to "Show all Apps." In addition, they are listed in order of the amount of storage space they are using.
If you select each individual app by clicking on the ">" beside it, the next page shows the info for just that app, including the name, version, App size, and amount of storage space used by Documents and Data associated with it. You also have the option there to Delete the App.

Restore keeps asking for my wife's previous, 5 year old, no longer remembered, Apple ID password. What can I do?

Gen 3 iPad went into "Recovery" mode while updating to 8.0.2. requiring a "Restore." iPad is now in it's 17th hour of trying to restore and recover all data backed up in cloud and on MacBook Pro. Odd think - I keep being asked for a password my wife had on her first iPad, one associated with an email provider with haven't used in over 5 years. We have no recollection of that old password. What can I do?

First, the iPad should not take 17 hours to restore. Perhaps if your wifi was extremely slow, but if you're restoring from a backup made to the computer, it should take no more than 20 minutes or so. I would be inclined to start again - connect to iTunes, click Restore within iTunes, and go from there.
The only time an AppleID would get in the way of restoring is if it was used to set the Find My iPad feature. If this is the case, you're going to have to recover access to the AppleID. Start here:

HT201412 My Ipad quit working - it's 2 years old. I called Apple and they basically told me that it's done. I can pay 249.00 to get a reburbished Ipad 1, or buy a new one. I want to know why it died? They mentione it could be the hard drive.

My Ipad 1 quit working after 2 years. Was never dropped, abused, etc. Just quit the other night. Went to the Apple store, called the support line and they tell me that since the warranty is up I can pay 249.00 for a refurbished Ipad or buy a new one. Not happy at all. I want to know why it quit. The person I talked to at Support says he doesn't know what happened. He says it sounds like my hard drive crashed. ANyone else have this problem? I am so mad.

If the tech you talked to said anything about a "hard drive", he was completely ignorant or misspeaking rather badly. The iPads have no hard drive; the storage is all solid state. You may wish to talk to another technician, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there's one near you, and confirm the diagnosis of a hardware failure.
If you've confirmed that it is indeed a hardware failure, then you can pay the replacement price, find an independent iPad service shop and see if they can do a repair for less, or buy a new iPad. If it were me I would put the money toward a new, or at least newer, iPad rather than pay the replacement charge. You can get some good deals on refurbished iPad 2 and third-generation iPads from the Apple Store, any of which will run the most current versions of iOS, something which the first-gen iPad will not, and would come with a full warranty (which could be extended to two years with AppleCare).
As to why your iPad failed, it's impossible to say with any certainty. The circuitry could have had a tiny flaw that finally failed, or the iPad could have received a static shock, something quite common in many areas in the winter when the air is dry. Sorry it happend to you, but anything can fail.
Regards.

Please Help! My 7 year old did something with my display!

My son was using the computer and did something with the keyboard. This left my display with the areas that should be white...to black. My desktop image and ALL computer images have the graphic look of a "sketch" and what should be red, is blue. the apple logo is orange. When I use my mouse, it creates "boxes" around the icons. I have tried changing resolution, both in display preferences and in the safe mode. When I reboot the computer, I get what the display should be for a moment, then it changes. I have also tried calibrating. Please advise.
TIA for your time!

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left and turn off the other options, except for those at the bottom.

There is a hum when I hook up my IPod touch with the stereo system. If I do not use the docking station there is no hum. Is there a solution other than buying a new docking station. The on I own is 5 years old and is an apple product.

I have an Ipod touch with a genuine Apple docking station. Lately when I connect my system to my home stereo, there is a hum that I never noticed before. When I connect the system directly to my stereo, there is no hum. Is there a solution, other than buying a new docking station?

This makes sense to me. I think the issue is your misunderstanding. If you purchased an item, your Apple ID becomes tied to that permanently. So when you try to update that app, you need the password to the ID that 'OWNS' that application.
Also, I suspect you have a different ID signed into the device, which is why you can't buy with your own. That article listed shows how to change the signed in account.

HT204053 I had to create an Apple ID to open a cloud account. For some time prior to this, I had an account for my iPod. Today I was unable to update apps using the old password. My Apple ID will not do it either. ???

I had to create an Apple ID to open a cloud account some time ago. For some time prior to this, I had an account for my iPod. Today I did a sync and was notified of two app updates, but was unable to use my old password and was notified to use my Apple ID. However, when I log in with my Apple ID, the store tells me that I do not own the apps.
How can I get this system to update my iPod apps.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Certainly not happy with this situation, as Apple expects me to pay for help on this.

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

My 5-year old iMac is freezing up and will not reboot unless it is turned off for an hour or so. What is going on?

After some heavy lifting ( backing up or working in several applications) the system will slow down to a crawl and then freeze. A hard shutdown and restart will usually not reboot it. I typically get a white screen with a floder with a ? mark on it, a circle with a line through it, an Apple logo with a spinning wheel for many hours (I let it go overnight once to no avail), or a simple white screen.   The disk checks out fine with Drive Genius and disk usility, from both the hard disk (when I can get it running) and from the Disk utilite and Drive Genius Disks.    I have erased (zeroed out) the disk and reinstalled Snow Leopard several times with all updates. Reparied permissions successfully. It runs swimmingly until I start loading up files and try to use them or tao back up to Time Machine on a Time Capsule.   It will then repeat the whole scenario.   Often, If I leave it shut down for an hour or two, or overnight, it will boot fine, even after all of the prior white screens.
I have taken it to the Genius Bar a coupole of times, and they have done a system reinstall and analysis to no avail.   Everything looks fine. Infact, ast time it had rested and while it did not boot before I left, it did fine there.
The only devices connected are an ethernet cable, bluetooth mouse, and keyboard. What's up?
I think this is a hardware not a software issue.

    BankerDad, let's see if we can change this device's behavior. Is there any physical or liquid damage on that device? Connect it to a charger to see if the charging battery icon populates on the screen. Keep us posted.

IPad display suddenly not working properly.

iPad 1 is about 6 months old. All of a sudden, display is displaying colors incorrectly.
Everything is inverted or monochrome or something.
I have restarted and restored, to no avail. I have also verified the most current iPad and iTunes Software.
Any ideas short of shipping to Apple?

Wes,

Display image not aligned properly

My daughter occasionally uses an older Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics), connected to an Apple Studio Display 17 (LCD) via a VGAtoADC conversion box. The computer still has the original ATI Rage 128 card in it.
Recently, after upgrading to OSX 10.4, we now have a 1" black bar running from top to bottom along the right side of the display - and the left side of the screen is cut off by about an 1". If I go back and boot from OSX 10.3.9 it works fine.
Could this be a PMU issue? Or have I finally over-extended the range of that old ATI Rage card?

Thank you for the tips...Yeah, we did all the updates, and followed most of the troubleshooting tips (deleted the Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.xxxx.plist, and reset the PRAM.) Tomorrow I'll reset the PMU. Works fine on Panther, so it's not the connections. A real head scratcher...
