Adapter doesn't light up bright...just very very dim. No power on macbook
I got my macbook from a friend about 3 months ago (he purchase it about a year and a hlaf ago.) He spilled a beverage on it and it fried the battery but it still worked without battery.
About a week ago it wouldn't power on with the adapter, I purchased a new adapter assuming that was the problem. When I plugged it in to the macbook the LED is very very dim green and the macbook still won't power.
Last night it all of a sudden turned bright green and powered on and this morning it was back to dim and I can't get it to power for anything.
Do you think it is because of the liquid even having worked for 3 months after the spill...Would you have any tips to getting this to power on?

Power Problem (Adapter doesn't light up)
On my Powerbook, which is about 1.5 years old, the adaptor charge light went off. The battery drained after this happened (Adaptor is no longer charging). The first time this happened I tried pulling out the battery for five min, and restarting. That did the trick. The same thing happened tonight where the adaptor charge light went off, and the battery drained on down. This time pulling the battery doesn't work.
Anyone know what is likely going on here?
My Superdrive that had gone south months ago, I just had repaired a few weeks ago. The computer functioned fine after the repair. Thought I'd throw that in in case it is pertinent.
Thanks for any help. MichaelBad & good news: Bad—The fix I described stopped working, and my machine reverted to draining the battery and the adapter no longer powering the computer. Good—Resetting the PRAM completely solved the problem. It's been a few days now and the problem has not recurred. In fact, I couldn't get it to replicate the problem after many tries.
My next step if it hadn't worked would have been resetting the PMU. Both are described here:

Quite right, but as the OP does not have component or composite connections not important.
To the OP, this does work, but is not the cheapest, and as it appears that Apple no longer sell an SVideo adaptor cable 3rd party it will have to be. -

I cannot send mail. I have logged into my SP through the internet and have no problem I have tried to rebuild the inbox and it just flashes very fast - to fast to view the activity. The mail doctor shows all green lights. This started after I disabled ICloud. I had to disable ICloud as I was not receiving all my mail.

My photo booth screen is very very dark. I thought it was the screen but its at the brightest it can possibly be! So I grabbed my mothers MacBook Pro and It's much lighter and more clear. I have just the regular macbook. I also used the my camera on tumblr and it came up like my mothers. So could it just be photo booth? I also have no idea how to find out which operating system is downloaded. This is preowned.
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Alright, I'm having two annoying problems with my iPhone. It's an iPhone 4.
I'm using the latest iOS.
The first problem is that when I get a notification (a mail, text message, whatever), I hear the sound that it makes, but the screen doesn't light up. Then, when I click the home or the turn-on / off button (basically when I'm in the lock menu), it doesn't show the notification either. Yet, in the notification settings, I've set up to show them. For example mails. I just received a few mails. For mail, I've selected the banner in the notification center. But I see no banner. I see nothing in fact. I can unlock my phone and go in mail, and see the mail there.
What could be the reason for this? I've recently done some changes on it, I mean, not exactly on the iPhone, but in iTunes. I removed all photos from my iPhone (over 3000) and all songs that were on it. I decided to sync only the latest 3 months of photos and 3 months of music. I don't think it's related but it's the last thing I've done with it, and since then this has been happening, so I thought I'd mention it.
My second problem is that, while I was updating my music and photo library on my iPhone, I also synced all app updates. I have around 6 or 7 of them, lurking there for a while, and I never got the time to download them in iTunes and sync them with my iPhone. So that's what I did as well. Strangely enough, when I visit the App Store app, under Updates, it still tells me I have 5 apps to update. I remember one I updated on the iPhone itself.
They're all listed there with the little bar that shows up when it's loading, except it isn't loading. It's just stuck there, at the very beginning. No, not even at the beginning, because the blue little bar that moves forward isn't even present.The also show up this way on my iPhone "desktop" (Home), and it says "Waiting..." below them.
I've tried syncing again, and also restarting the iPhone, but it didn't help. Anyone know what's wrong here?
I appreciate all help. Cheers guysNobody? The second problem is solved! But my phone still doesn't light up or shows a banner or anything when for example a mail arrives?

File(FTP) Adapter doesn't pick any file from FTP server
Hi All,
This is a strange problem. I am trying to pick all the file from a FTP server using File Name: . . But the file adapter doesn't pick any file from the directory. When I change it to a specific file name eg. ABC.txt then it picks up the file ABC.txt only.
My requirement is to pick up all files in the directory and I just do not seem to understand what is wrong. I have used this wildcard option several times earlier and it always worked fine. But in this case, this does not work.
I changed the FTP server to point to an internal FTP server and it works fine.
I have checked all my parameters and everything looks okay. Like I mentioned earlier, if you specify exact file name, it picks up the file.
Any guess as to what is going on here?Transport Protocol: FTP
Message Protocol: File
source directory: /test or test ( <b>either one works</b>)
file name: * or . or *.txt <b>nothing works</b>

RFC sender adapter doesn't reconnect after a R/3 down
Hi everybody,
We are in PI 7.0.
The RFC sender adapter doesn't reconnect automaticaly after a shutdown/restart of the R/3 system.
Theoritically, the system should retry after 2, 4 .... 3600 seconds but it doesn't do.
Is there anybody who have an idea ?
Thank in advance.
Best regards.
Eric.After the restart of R/3 system , when I look in SM59, I receive the answer that the program is not registered ( RFC sender adapter) .
As I told in my previous post, since the RFC adapter has lost the connection, the RFC destination is not registered. Just try to stop/start the channel and reactivate. the destination should work fine then.
I read in documentation that is done automatically but that is not the case.
Thats right. but it doesn't happen usually. probably u can ask SAP to explan this with an OSS -
On Yahoo Mail...and ONLY Yahoo Mail..I get a 404 error after entering my user name and password. This doesn't happen with IE, just Firefox, and just Yahoo Mail. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF; no change. Yahoo was absolutely no help whatsoever; can you solve the mystery? Thanks
HI Emmet,
thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
i hope that helps anyone out there also!
Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.
Thanks again, much appreciated.

Keyboard light auto brightness revert behavior
I know that older versions of OS X has the behavior that the keyboard backlight is dimmer in brighter environments, but with Yosemite it is obviously the other way around (it gets brighter when environment gets brighter).
I know Apple must have had a very good reason to revert the behavior, but most usually this reverse behavior only causes me to manually hit F5 for many times to turn off the backlight when daylight comes, and hit F6 for one or two times to turn it back on when night falls. So now I can even be better off with this (reversed) auto backlight feature turned off.
So I desperately hope that Apple could give users an option to reverse the keyboard backlight behavior. I know there have been discussions on this yet I can't manage to find a solution.
In the mean time before Apple decides to give users the choice, a temporary solution for this (things like modifying some system configuration files) could really come in handy!Hey XavierXing,
That is interesting that your backlit keyboard is getting brighter with the ambient light getting brighter. I would start with resetting the SMC as that should correct any irregular behavior. Let me know if this helps or need further assistance.
