24" LED display shakes, flickers on/off w/ 13" Air; works fine w/ 11" Air

I have a 2010 24" LED Cinema Display. When I connect my 2010 13" MacBook Air (running 10.9.4), the display shakes like crazy and also flickers on and off. This just started yesterday. It had worked fine w/ that MacBook for a long time.
And when I plug in a different Macbook Air (newer 11"), the display works fine. So, did something all of the sudden happen to my older 13"?
Seems like the problem is with the Mac -- not the display, as the display works with the 11"
Any thoughts welcome!
Thank you,
Michele

Since Yosemite my Macbook 11inch mid 2011 does not see second thunderbolt display anymore. My MacBookPro 13inch Early 2013 works fine, but it swaps the screens after an (re)boot

Since Yosemite my Macbook 11inch mid 2011 (supports Thunderbolt) does not see the second thunderbolt display anymore.
My MacBookPro 13inch Early 2013 works fine, but it swaps the screens after an (re)boot.
Does anyone else experience these problems and/or have solutions

Hello ROBLAHAY,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your MacBook Air. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you are describing. If you are talking about using two external Thunderbolt displays (in addition to the internal display) with your Mid 2011 MacBook Air 11-inch, you may want to be aware that only a single external Thunderbolt display is supported on that model, as noted in the following article:
3. How many Apple Thunderbolt Displays can I use with my Mac in OS X?
The table below indicates how many Thunderbolt displays can be connected to Thunderbolt-capable Mac computers in OS X.
Computer
Maximum connected displays
Thunderbolt-capable Macs with Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics can support one connected Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch).
MacBook Air (Mid 2011)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) and (13-inch, Late 2011)1
Mac mini (Mid 2011), 2.3 GHz

My ipad2 won't charge, it's been on 1% all day now. It's plugged in and keeps shutting off. The cord works fine, it's charging my husbands iPad. Any suggestions?

My ipad2 won't charge, it's been on 1% all day now. It's plugged in and keeps shutting off. The cord works fine, it's charging my husbands iPad. Any suggestions?

Is this with the power adaptor that was included with your iPad 2 purchase?
The same power adaptor and USB dock connector cable charges your husband's iPad?
If so, sounds like a hardware problem with the battery or something else. Have you tried powering the iPad off and on and/or a reset which is similar to a computer restart?
If so with no change, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Plug 24" LED Display into Mac Pro, Still Charge MacBook Air?

Just set up my Mac Pro using the 24" LED Display I used to use with my MacBook Air. With the USB and Mini DisplayPort now plugged into the Mac Pro, could I still plug the MagSafe power cable into the Air to charge it in a pinch, or is there any reason I'd need to unplug the Mac Pro connection first?
(Rather be safe than sorry...)

Thanks much! Unless anyone cares to chime in with an opposing view, I'll be using the 24" as a spare MagSafe to recharge the Air when I'm at home...

24" LED Display won't light but other functions all work

My 24" LED Display suddenly won't light (it flashes the desktop once in a while). The sound, the USB ports, and the Magsafe power all work. It's just the display that isn't functioning. 1) Is there a fix? 2) Will Apple take on the repair for the $400 fixed repair fee? Thanks

I have the same display and mine burned out on the same day as yours. I wonder if our displays were made at the same time and the backlights are all reaching EOL. It is somewhere over four years old (discontinued in 2010); one year after support runs out if it is tied to a computer purchased with Apple Care (I did this for my Airport Time Capsule). I used my display a lot as I work from home. It never occurred to me the backlight would burn out.
My question specifically is the cost of replacing the backlights. How much is it? Is it worth it? The current Dell Ultra Sharp 24" monitor is about $500 and is better resolution and color. If I could afford it, I would buy the Retina iMac, just for the display, although the computer is pretty hot too;-).

Hello.
Thank you for posting this solution, however it didn't work on my WRT160N V2.
I got mine in January of 2009. Everything was working fine. Then I saw that there was a firmware upgrade available on Linksys' website. So i downloaded new firmware. Logged into my router, went through firmware upgrade screen and then...IT CRASHED!!! Got an error screen. So, i waited, rebooted and got the flashing LED power light and nothing else.
I did go through all your steps that you've listed here, and still nothing. My power LED light is still flashing.
Can someone help how to fix that problem or is the router officially dead?
Thank you in advance.

I have 2 Apple Cinema LED Displays (no Thunderbolt) and a new Macbook Air (with Thunderbolt). Is there a way to connect both of these monitor to my Macbook Air?

I'm trying to use 2 older Apple Cinema LED Displays in a Dual Monitor configuration with my Macbook Air. It is a new macbook air and supports Thunderbolt.

Look for minidisplay connectors/adapters that that fit the inputs on the display, such as this example:

Unhinged Display - About To Fall Off! (but still works)

Hello
the other day, completely out of the blue, my laptop screen did something funny. The left hing effectively snapped, so that the furthest left white plastic thing is now no longer "tucked in" to the screen. See a picture of it at this link:
http://stellarrunning.org/temp/IMG_1193.jpg
This then, about 4 hours later, happened to the right side. Now, the screen will not stay up when I put it up. it just sort of flaps around, such that I need to lean the screen against something so it doesn't fall flat.
It feels as the whole screen is about to completely fall off the computer, but for the moment it still works.
I have 2 quesetions:
1. Is this something I can fix? (with a couple spare parts, etc.)
2. Assuming that it is not, how much would it cost to fix? Can it be done without replacing the whole monitor? (right now, the only thing broken is the hinge, not the monitor)
thanks!

wow MINE DID TOO!just yesterday...and I am on working holiday in rome, where things dont run as smoothly as we would like, seems repairing is out of the question. as Im being told it would be 1,000 dollars to change and replace the entire screen. I've lst so far only the left hing, same thing happened out of the blue. glad to hear yours still works fine though--worried about the amount of unbacked up folders...and the possiblity of it just koncking out on me soon.. I'll check here later to see if youve gotten good news..for us both! cas

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button. Worked fine before Lion update. Any Advice?

Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine.
Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway.
Oh well...
Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out. Thanks very much for responding!!!

My MacBook Pro is apparently powered on, but no screen display and cannot power off. Cap lock works so keyboard is working but trackpad not responding.

MacBook Pro is powered on but no screen display. Track pad not working and cannot power off. Have tried wireless mouse and no response.

Bring it to an Apple store or AASP. Power down by holding the power button down.

Ipod displayed white lines, shut off, now doesn't work. What do I do?

I was using an app on my 32 gb Ipod touch that I just got in Janurary 2012. The ipod then displayed a bunch of white lines and shut off. I hooked the ipod to itunes and it did not recognize it. I then tried to hold in the power and home buttons in with it connected to the computer and without it connected to the computer. After being disapointed I went on the web to see if I could find the answer. The ipod then randomly turned on. My next plan was to restore the itouch, as some said that this was needed to fix it. I first wanted to save my data on some apps so i did not lose them. This was a seperate app than before, so I know it had nothing to do with the particular app. Well anyway, while doing this, the ipod did the same exact thing, but now I cannot get it to work again. If I can get it to work I plan on restoring it right away, but I am starting to think it is a hardware issue. Any ideas?

- After being connected to a charging source for an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPOd. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

CS6 installation unsuccessful on new machine. OS/Display requirement issues, Error 6, but same installation worked fine on old laptop w/ worse specs..?

I am having trouble installing Adobe Master Collection CS6 on my new laptop. I encounter Error 6 when I try installing PS, AI, and ID, and it says I am not meeting OS requirements. Illustrator prompts another error: Display requirements not met. ( I'm very confused, because the same installation worked just fine on my old machine... No errors when I did it the first time. I have no idea why I'm running into errors now?) I'm getting warning DW066, DW065, DF029, fatal DS003, and error DW050.

HT1430 Can not get email on Ipad latest version bought december 2012. Turned off . Turned back on, verified mail provider settings.turned off computer mail which works fine.dO i NEED TO DELETE ACCOUNT AND START NEW ONE . wILL i LOOSE PREVIOUS MAIL

CAN NOT GET MAIL. TURNED OFF IPAD . RESTARTED. VERIFIED PROVIDER SETTINGS. DOES NOT WORK. IF I CANCEL ACCOUNT AND OPEN NEW ONE WILL I LOOSE PREVIOUS MAIL.

I've removed my yahoo account several times. All it does is delete the info off my iPad and doesn't touch the account itself. So I can go back in, re-add the account and then redownload my mail again. I haven't had to change my passwords or anything.
You might look on sympatico's site, see if they have any troubleshooting specific to iPads.
