http://www.danmckie.co.uk/images/Addressbook_notworking.jpg
to me it looks like some sort of graphics's problem? i may be wrong.
I hope you can help so i can start using my address book again ASAP
thanks for your time and hope to hear from someone with a solution soon!
Boom!

Are those "Record Labels" your entries?
Is the problem the grey area on the right?
I had a similar issue with AB and iCal after a an upgrade and a restore from the backup. Somehow my app from a previous version got restored and looked dodgy.
Had to reinstall the OS and restore the databases only.
I think it is possible to pick the apps only from your OS install DVD.
Apart from that I've seen similar "crazy" things which were related to Java. Try to d'load and install Java...

WRT150N router has suddenly stopped working - please help :)

I really don' know much about how routers work, so I am hoping you all can help me. I have a home PC and an HP notebook. We have a cable modem and a linksys wrt150N wireless router in order to use the laptop around the house. It was working fine up until 2 days ago, when it suddenly just stopped working. Nothing has changed. I've tried unplugging, rebooting, resetting the little button on the back of the router. I've tried clearing and refreshing the IP address. The wireless and the security lights aren't lit up anymore. I have tried to repair but I get the errors can't acquire a network address, and can't renew the IP address. I've tried reinstalling the cd that came with the router. I get router not found. Please make sure the router is properly connected. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't get to the router set up because I can't use the internet without bypassing the router and connecting directly from modem to computer. Is there any way I can fix this or is this router toast? We've only had it for 2 years. I am running XP on the PC, and Vista on the laptop.
If anyone has any idea what is wrong, please please let me know. I have school work to do on the laptop and really need my wireless connection back.
Thanks so much.

If you are unable to configure your router using the setup disk, then you can configure all the settings on your router manually.

Upgraded MacBook Pro 5,1 to Lion - Address Book/RAM Question - PLEASE HELP!

So, I upgraded to Lion. Flawless.
Except, when I was trying to set up iCloud, I had Address Book open and decided to select the "Look for Duplicates" function to try to clear some of the double entries in my Address Book.
The process took over an hour.
I had Fusion running.
After an hour, I got an error message that said I have run out of disk space. It prompted me to force quit some applications.
I have 4 GB of RAM and 400 GB free on a 750 GB Hard Drive.
What caused this? Is it serious? Any advice?
I am trying to run it again, but it is taking forever.
Please help!

I finally solved the problem by myself.
For anyone reading this thread and having similar issues, I quickly describe how I did it:
Basically, I changed totally nothing on either Soft- or Hardware side.
But what I did was disassemble my MBP, remove one of those 2 memory chips, un- and replugged the SSD, turned the system on with just one memory chip, let it run for a while (did some stress tests on the SSD that ususally lead to massive problems) and everything worked smooth.
At first I thought the one memory I removed was bad, but to my surprise the system continued to work stable after I put it in again.
Since 6 days my MBP runs smooth without any troubles like spinning wheels or whatsoever.
I've read many threads from other people having similiar issues with this configuration, coming up with a lot of ideas and workarounds.
Although this seems to be weird, I hope that it helps some of you facing the same weird behaviour.

My Refine Edge in Photoshop CS6 has STOPPED WORKING, please help!

Photoshop CS6
Windows 8.1
I have been using refine edge with no problem for months.
everything worked great!
I was able to extract out hair and edges very, very, very well...
but about 2 weeks ago...something changed... the refine edge brush no longer works.
When I click on Refine Edge... instead of a brush icon, I get the CIRCLE with a SLASH and my system keeps dinging because the tool is just not available.
I deleted my preferences...but it is still a problem
NOW... when I adjust the sliders, i don't see a preview of the adjustments...
Please help!!!!

no difference.
i have tried to check and uncheck everything...
if i adjust the sliders, i get NO Preview... but when i click OK, the resulting photo has been completely ruined by the tool...
I tried deleting preferences...no change
the weird thing is that this problem was very sudden. Just a few weeks ago, I was using refine edge with NO PROBLEM. it is my GO TO tool for extracting people out of pictures...
but then one day, it just stopped working...
Do i need to reinstall CS6???

My WRT54G suddenly stopped working please help.

Hi, i recently configured the security of the router, and then when i pressed the auto connect on the router it can no longer send a wireless signal... i tried to press the RESET button on the back, it should return it to the factory setting right? but when i connected it it wont give me good ip addresses it says limited or no connectivity, even if i manual set the ip. then try to access the home page it would not work.
i have some ideas how to fix this but i dont know if it is possible or not. :
1.) reset the router from a computer without accessing the page.
2.) go to a service center (if there is an available in the philippines...)
3.) overriding the firmware without accessing the page
please help, or else i would need to spend another 40-50$ for a new router T_T
i also tried to download the easylink firmware, or the easlink connect
but i get a 550 error when accessing the page, the online chat is no help either, they say i am on first queue but no one is answering :/

Hard reset your router for a minute...
Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...Now check if you can access your router set-up...
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
If you get the above mentioned ip address and gateway then you should be able to re-configure your router...If you get an IP Address of 169.254, then reset the router again...If still you don't get the above mentione ip address and gateway then you should give a static ip address on the computer...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...Now try to ping the Default Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press enter, see if you get 4 replies...If it does not then try to diable and security softwares/firewalls on your computer and try to ping it again, you should get 4 replies...
If you get the set-up page then you can configure your router...

Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

AppleScript for address book stopped working in snow leopard

end tell
set _currentAppName to short name of (info for (path to application id bundleID as alias))
--adds the selection to the group "envelope" to drag and drop later into a Pages mail merge to print out the day's envelopes
tell application "Address Book"
add the selection to the group "envelope"
save addressbook
--compile theaddress and print in current document of macspeech dictate medical
set theContacts to the selection
repeat with thisPerson in theContacts
set theName to name of thisPerson
set theStreetstring to street of first address of thisPerson
set theStreet to paragraph 1 of theStreetstring

Realtek Mic stopped working Please Help.

I'm on a Toshiba NB205-N325BN, Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Atom processor N280 o 1.66GHz, 512KB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset. Audio Driver is a Realtek High Definition Audio driver version 6.0.1.5904
My internal mic stopped working. I'm not sure how long it hasn't been since I don't use it all the time, but when I went to use skype last night I found that the mic wouldn't work with anything even the sound recorder program in the accessories folder. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but to no success. I figured I give this forum ago to see if any one could help otherwise I'll have to call the Toshiba support line or do a clean install of windows (which I do not want to do at this time.)

I actually got in contact with Realtek's support via e-mail, and they sent me a program to install that will let them check their devices that are on the machine. After I ran the scan this is the conversation that we had:
Realtek: "We found you had plugged a external mic to microphone jack. Have you tried to unplug external mic and then check the built in mic ?"
Me: "I don't own an external mic, but I did plug in my headphones into the mic port by accident recently maybe that was it? I don't have anything plugged in right now and it's not working."
Realtek: "Please try to dump audio info again(run the scan again) during recording interanl mic sound."
After I ran the scan again they sent me these instructions, and I'm kind of confused on what he means (I think the support is in Asia somewhere and they are translating each message at a time.)
Realtek: "We tried to check it with TOSHIBA. Your machine supports audio prower download feature after audio idle status. You can try to turn off this function on the Power Manager Page of Realtek HD Audio Manageer. Or you can try to plug headphone jack to keep audio power up state .
Can anyone help me understand that last part? I went to the Audio Manager and I didn't see a Power Manager page anywhere! Does "Or you can try to plug headphone jack to keep audio power up state." Mean that it might start working if I try to use it with headphones?

Brand new ipod touch suddenly stopped working. please help!

I was messing around on my brand new ipod touch and it suddenly crashed. it flashed a static-y black and now the screen is bluish white and won't change. I tried holding both the home button and the black button on top of the ipod and neither helped. I even connected it back to my mac book but nothing happened. please help! i've only had it for two days!

That sounds like a mechanical problem. You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue. If it does not, call Apple. 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

My Mac Pro stopped working-please help!

When I press the button to start the computer, it does not start anymore!!!! The silver light above the button flashes rapidly and there is a sound of a high-speed fan. This remains for as long as I let it be going.. I eventually shut it down - with the same start/end button, and the - after a while I tried again, hoping for some reset... But to no avail. When the "turn-on" (start) button is pressed again, the same scenario repeats itself: rapidly flashing silver light above the "start" button, and the sound of high-speed fan... Nothing further... Do you have any idea, as hat might happen? What is possible to do in order to have it working again?
Please help! Thank you.

If it's RAM, you can replace it yourself. Check the memory risers. If one of them has a red LED on, that's where the fault is. It could be either a DIMM or the slot it's in. You'd have to switch the DIMMs around to determine that.

USB SLOT STOPPED WORKING PLEASE HELP ASAP

Backup stops working, please help

I have an original iPhone (metal Back) and for the past 4 days, my phone will not backup in itunes. I'll get an prompt saying "AppleMobileBackup.exe stopped working. Windows will now closed program" I close out the prompt, and itunes will sync my music like normal but will not backup the phone. I tried uninstalling itunes completely then reinstalling it. I still get the same message when i sync. I also checked my previous backups so that way i can restore, but when i checked, it showed that itunes had no previous backups stored... so i'm really resistant to restore as a new iphone since there isn't a backup to restore to. Any idea as to why im getting this error message. This has never happened before. I have the current 3.1 OS as well as iTunes 9.0.1 What should i do???

Hi
What follows is a fix that should get your 2g iphone back up and running.
Prep:
Iphone os 3.1 updated downloaded and saved somewhere on your mac or pc where it can found without much effort.
Iphone 2g 3g 3gs
Itunes 9
Sync cables.
1: Start up Itunes and making sure iphone is powered on and in restore mode plug it into computer.
2:At the same time press and hold both the power and home keys and continue to hold them until the phone powers off (about 10 seconds). Once the iphone powers off release the power key but continue to hold the home key for another 15-30 seconds or until it is recognized by itunes. At this point the screen on the iphone should be black but you will see an indicator pop up in Itunes stating iphone detected in restore mode.
3:Click continue or okay and once you get to the restore screen hold shift or ctrl options key and click restore. It will open a file browser window. Navigate to the folder holding the 3.1 updated and select it and hit ok.
4: now your iphone should begin the update process its screen should turn white and then to the apple logo with the loading bar.
This process works by placing the iphone-itouch in dfu mode to do a restore.
If this does not work for you or if you cant get it into dfu you mode google iphone dfu mode and you should find a walkthru.
Hope this helps!!

IPhone ringtone stopped working please help???

I downloaded a ringtone from the ITunes store on my phone (3g) it was the first time I had done it and I set it as my main ringtone. After 2 days it stopped working and is no longer showing up on my phone. However when I synced my phone to my computer it showed up under my ringtones in ITunes, but it's still not showing up on my phone. After the sync a message also popped up saying I was not authorized to play this particular song on my phone and I'm not sure why? I downloaded it from the Itunes stores and the full song still works just no ringtone (purchased separately)Sorry if this is confusing I just need some help!
Thanks!
