An area at the center of the screen on my MBP remains light even when the display has gone to sleep. Should I be concerned?
I've just noticed that there's a roundish area at the center of my screen that never goes fully dark. If I turn the screen brightness right down, it's still bright, and if the display goes to sleep there remains a faint bright patch (If I put the computer to sleep the screen is completely dark).
Should I be concerned about this?
Thanks!
Boot from your install disc and test. If it still does it, you have a hardware issue. Contact Apple and get it serviced if you are still in warranty.

Ok so I found it. BUT! it says there are no downloads available...what has happened to the other 16 or so tunes I have paid for? I "reported a problem" but what/how will they respond?

Regarding Mail: When I return to my computer after it has gone to sleep, my accounts go offline, and are always asking me for the password. THis is very annoying. How can I prevent this?
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -
I have two airport extremes, one acting as a modem and the other operating in bridge mode. The extremes are connected using ethernet, but remain connected even when I disconnect the Cat5a cable (I did this to check that the 100 feet of Cat 5a cable connecting them was working). How do I find out if they are operating wired or wirelessly? I want to know as I assume I will get much better speeds if they are wired.
Hi Bob, many thanks for the prompt response. I think I did what you suggested, but you're the expert so I have sent over a few screenshots. The extreme in question is High Birches Home Office (the rest of the network has been in place and working well for some time). My new home office is going to be in the garden, circa 100 feet from the main house. I have installed armoured Cat5e cable down to the shed that is going to be adjacent to the home office once built and situated the High Birches Home Office Airport Extreme there temporarily. Everything works well, so I was surprised when I unplugged the ethernet, that it still worked. I also tested the ethernet cable by switching off my laptop's wifi and unplugging the cable from the airport extreme and directly into the laptop and that worked ok.
If the screenshots below (I did every Airport utility tab for the High Birches Home Office) don't tell you anything more, then the set-by-step instructions would greatly appreciated so I can ensure I completed the steps correctly.
Many
Thanks, Greg. -
Equium P200-178 - backlight on the display has failed
A friend of mine has an Equium P200-178 and the backlight on the display has failed.
Unfortunately, the machine is three weeks out of its warranty and we are very, very far from a Service Depot.
Googling the problem indicates that the inverter may have failed but how do you get to it?
I have removed every screw that I can see on the case but it still won't come apart. I don't want to risk breaking it.
Any help very gratefully received!
Cheers.Hi
The FL inverter is a small part which controls the screens backlighting and its placed near the TFT screen.
Usually its not advisable to disassemble such hi-tech notebooks because such procedure is tricky and you could damage other parts.
However, it seems you are already on the task and the notebooks covers are already removed.
Well, I googled a little bit and found this page:
[Taking apart Toshiba Satellite P205 display panel and removing LCD screen and inverter.|http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-p205/take-apart-display-panel-1.htm]
Its about P205 but its very similar to the P200 notebook model.
But note; everything what you do is your own risk!!!! -

I purchased an audiobook from itunes on my ipod yesterday. Following an unsuccessful update on the ipod today I had to restore factory settings and the audiobook has gone. How do I get it back without paying for it again?
Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

Please help! I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong! Many thanks...
Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer in case it wipes everything .
I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

I am getting error (-1) while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1. The phone has gone into a recovery mode. Restore fails every time at "restoring the firmware" stage. Striped bar remains for a long time, then shows "error (-1)" and the restore fails. I have been doing it for last 12 hours. Help!
Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

My iPad mini ran out of battery when installing an app and now the app has gone?
I updated Quiz Up today while my iPad mini had 2% battery left! and I thought this would be enough but just as the update was installing my iPad ran out of battery so I immediately put it on charge! when my iPad turned on the app was still there but was darker and said 'waiting' underneath, so I then went to the App Store to continue to update but when I went to the updates section the update was gone, I them we to back to the apps location and the app had gone, so I went to reinstall it but it only said open next to it, and when I press this it does nothing, I would like the app back but I don't know how to get it back, any suggestions? I thought the all might be corrupt but I can't delete it and reinstall it because the icon has gone and it doesn't show up in spotlight, so what do it do?
Maybe:

Otherwise try downloaing on computer and sync
The go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage and tap on the app and try deleting it.
