Ahhhh!! is it broken if it does this??HELP!!

okay i have a question, now i'm very new to macs so it might just be me...
sometimes, very randomly my ibook shuts off i have no clue why, it wont turn back on until i wait until the white light on the right hand corner on the base is done blinking... i don't want to kill my computer!! please help!!

If the light is blinking it means the machine has gone to sleep, which it will do after a set period of inactivity. Go into system preferences and energy saver to change the settings.
You're not killing your machine, its okay. It will also go into a forced sleep if the battery gets down to 1% or less charge.
You may want to look through the user guide for OSX and your iBook, to learn the basic functions of OSX and your machine.

ITunes Match. How does this help me?

ok I purchased Match. Now how do I keep the songs on my iphone while adding songs from Match? When I turn Match on in my phine, it informs me that the Match tunes will replace those on my device. What gives?

I never got this message. And even though Match has finished (or rather, did step 3 and then started step 1 again, and keeps doing this), not one of my songs has been upgraded to 256kbps from 128, 160 or 192. What's this about?

Does this help your "user did not respond" problem?

Here’s what was going on.
If I call a buddy #1 > I get the “user did not respond”.
If I call buddy #2 > I get “user did not respond”.
However, If I call buddy #3 it works right away, no problems what so ever.
This was a constant problem, the same result over and over again when attempting to connect.
Three out of the four of us have something in common
So, how come when I call buddy #1 and buddy #2 does iChat displays “user did not respond” ? Thinking about it, we all have multiple Macs (except buddy number 3) on a network and the same router. So it appears that when I try to call someone with more than one Mac on the network I get the error.
Again, all three of us had something else in common we were all using a DMZ service on the router to direct internet traffic to a Mac which was not running iChat (ie a server).
Time to experiment
Buddy #1 disabled DMZ then I called him.. nothing but the “user did not respond” message. I disabled DMZ (now both off us have DMZ off) I called him again (after restarting iChat) and it worked.
We both restarted iChat, Macs, Routers multiple times and it still worked 8 out of 10 times. Now, this is a huge improvement on failing to connect every-time. I did however remember reading somewhere about changing the default port number.
More Settings
The default port number iChat uses also stops my video and audio from working but this is easily fixed.
Open iChat and make yourself off line then navigate to:
iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings.
Change the default port to 443.
Close the window and make yourself available
iChat now connects to video and audio calls every single time.
So, for us it looks like disabling DMZ and changing the port number worked perfectly.
Instructions.
1. Quit iChat
2. Log into your router (enter the routers address in the address bar of your internet browser)
3. Look for a DMZ setting, possibly listed within the WAN SetUp section.
4. Disable DMZ
5. You may need to restart your router
6. Configure iChat's defualt port number (shown avbove)
7. Make your-self 'Available' on iChat
8. Start a video chat.
I would highly recommend that you pass this information on to your online buddies you wish to video or audio chat with. This configuration has to be set on both the caller's and and receiving buddies computer
Equipment used whilst I was testing
Myself: iMac G5 20'' - Integral iSight - Mac 10.4.6
Buddy #1: iMac Intel 20'' - Integral iSight - Mac 10.4.6
Buddy #2: iMac Intel 17'' - Integral iSight - Mac 10.4.6
Buddy #3: iMac Intel 17'' - Integral iSight - Mac 10.4.6
Netgear DG834 Modem/Router Firmware: V3.01.29
MacBookPro 17", G4 Powerbook 17", G5 quad, G5 iMac, G3, mac mini x4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Good luck!

Hi Jan,
Some notes.
The Certain Buddy problem is almost certainly down to NAT issues.
DMZ is an extreme form of Port Forwarding and is therefore a NATted service on most devices.
Netgears are know to kave this problem with iChat even with the same model with the same firmware.
It means the problem continues in Port Forwarding, Port Triggering and DMZ.
UPnP (Universal Plug n Play) is not a NAT service so will get around this.
However there seems to be somthing quirky with Netgear's implemintation of this that needs it started up at least twice to work properly.
The need to change the port from 5190 to 443 normally occures on those devices and firmware that Port Forwards AND list protocols to open the ports which then lists port 5190 twice.
Changing the port in iChat and then disabling the Port forward on port 5190 TCP also should get around this problem.

Wifi keeps going off every half hour on ipad 3. I have two with the exact same settings but one keeps doing this .help .

Can anyone solve this problem is the ipad faulty if it does this

If that iPad has trouble on other networks then it may have a hardware problem.
If it is OK on other networks then look at your network more closely it may have a firmware or a configuration problem.

Leave phone connected during work: Does this help or hurt battery life?

If draining and charging ultimately wears battery down, could i leave it plugged to charger during the day at my desk? This would seem to cut down charging cycles, but maybe it introduces other problems.

Won't harm it all all, it stops charging when it is full.
Your lithium polymer battery does need exercise though, make sure to do a full charge cycle at least once per month.

Importing video - why does this help site look different

http://www.davidglover.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/01-Import.png
The link above shows a help site screen shot allowing 1080i import.
When I run iMovie 09 and connect my camera I only see import at 'Full Resolution' without the added 1920x1080i.
Whyis this??

That screen grab is what I see with iMovie '08 and not what I see with iMovie '09

It sounds like you have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or other feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see:

What does this error message really mean?

I am trying to drag/drop a .mov file to a thumbdrive. I get this message:
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0).
I can transfer other data to the thumbdrive just fine.
Thx...

Hi,
It is a new PNY USB Flash drive. It idoes not specify format; I plugged it into the MACBook and it was recognized. It did allow me to transfer a small file.
The drive is 32GB. The file I'm transfering is 9.5GB
Does this help?

So, I dropped my phone today on the cement, it works...with minor annoying glitches, has nasty bluish vertical lines and the picture is a tad distorted as well. :/ Does this mean I need to spend tons of money to get this fixed? Ahhhh! Help!

What does this mean and how do I fix it: "The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project: - There appears to be a broken asset in your project. Correct this problem before burning this project."

It means that iDVD has found a problem with one of the movies added to the project. Did you edit the movie after it had been added to the project.
Create a new project and add your assets, movies, slides, etc. again and follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

Mac OSX, 10.7.5, LR 5.6 After creating a new folder in the Destination section and importing images, the new folder name appears as 2010, no matter what name I give it. Why is it doing this?

I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.
