Blue Screen (after restart) but everything else is fine.

Hi,
I have an Xserve 2.3Ghz DP that is running fine a dandy except that the monitor connected to it shows just a blue screen. (no Dock, no menu bar). The strange thing is that when Retrospect starts up for it's automatic daily backup, the menu bar appears but it has only "retrospect options" available, the apple menu is all greyed out. Another anomaly is that during the startup procedure, I can see the grey apple "centered" onscreen, then the blue progress bar appears with all the normal information. But as soon as it's past those screens, the display just goes to a solid blue.
As I said before, everything else seems fine, my retrospect backups are happening as scheduled.
I use this server to burn and verify all my archives, so I really appreciated having a monitor connected. I've tried three other monitors all of them display just blue.
I thought maybe the Dock was hidden, it's not. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Turn off the modem while you're trying to access the router. And turn off any software firewalls or browser proxy settings.
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

My Mac laptop screen is black but everything else is on

My Mac laptop screen is black but everything else is on.

Hey Cdronet14,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 5. I see that you have already attempted a reset of the device. To isolate the issue further and determine if it is hardware related, the next step would be to backup and restore your device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

My contacts are locked and I have shut the device off and still contacts are locked, but everything else appears fine.

My contact app is locked on a contact, everything else is working fine. I have shut the device off and onand no change???.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

My ipod wont search on any free music apps but everything else searches fine

I had a free music app where i would search dor the music to download it. But today my ipod 5 (ios 8) wouldnt search for any music but everythint else influding safari, app store, youtube, all searched like normal. The app i used before i deleted because of the problem would just crash at start up too. So now i have no music and i would like to not have to pay for all my songs. Plz help. Also idk if this is significant to the problem but at one point the ipod wasnt charging. It is charging now though. Its acting strangely.

For strange acting iPod
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

The screen Turned white but Everything else is working!??

hi
i had the macbook Core 2 Duo for About 8 months and it was working great.
yesterday i left a file download in firefox for 5 hours then went back to check on it , it was working FINE, Then i got Back after 2 minutes and the screen is suddenly white and not showing anything!!
i shut down the laptop and restarted , there was a chime and just white screen...
i connected the laptop to an external monitor AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING on the external screen but the laptop screen is white!!!
i tried resetting the PRAM and i tried resetting the SMC twice but nothing Changed>>
i can't use the apple hardware testing because the external monitor does not work till the system loads (and it does always)and i will be working blind..
so , is this a sudden hardware thing in the screen or what ?
i'm on a 3 year waranty but i don't have an apple store in my country !! can i send the laptop to them via mail?
Where can i ask them directly via mail?
i previously backed up the laptop via time machine and i can fully use it on the external display , so would a restore of system folders HELP at least rule out system errors???
i searched for similar problems but none seems to match mine because other people always had a system error , and i don't seem to have one..
Please Guys any answer might help me , i have tons of work...

If you are not showing reception bars, then I don't know how the data is working? Have you tried doing a reset? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, check to see if it works. If that doesn't help, then try removing the SIM card, then reinserting it. If that doesn't help, then contact your carrier for assistance in calling.

The" location svc. " on my iPhone 4S is disabled w/out me knowing ,now I have no GPS,but everything else works fine. it all happened after the latest update from Apple . The phone asks me to put a 4digit code (I don't have) to unlock the restriction on it

Please help !
It's been almost a month that the LOCATION SERVICE on my iphne 4S has been turned off and there's a restriction on it . Which requires a 4 digit code that I don't have and no one seeme to be able to help me on this .
It all happened after I got the latest Apple iphone updates installed . Just a note here, except for some photos and camera, especially the the flash for taking pictures having the mind of it's own ( wont flash most of the time even when you turn on the flash ) , ALL OTHER FUNCTIONC SEEM TO BE WORKING OK .
I've tried backing up the phone on my computer and restoring it SEVERAL TIMES w/no success . The Apple store tried TWICE and cleared everything in my phone and we started it w/the factory settings,BUT BECAUSE I NEED TO HAVE ALL MY CONTACTS AND OTHER PERSONAL INFO'S, I HAVE TO RESTORE IT TO MY OWN SETINGS .
The problem is that when I restore the phone, it restores all my previous setting which PUTS EVERYTHING BACK IN TO MY PHONE THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE BACK UP AND KEEPS ASKING FOR THE 4 DIGIT PASS CODE AGAIN . I have no control of pick and choose what should be backed up .
I HAVE TRIED EVERY POSSIBLE CODES THAT I COULD THINK OF AND IT KEEPS LOKING ME OUT ONE HOUR AT A TIME .
Any one out there can help me w/this I would be greatful to you .

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

My iPhone 4 screen has stopped functioning normally, the screen is just blank but everything else is fine. Help!

I can receive calls and messages but cannot see them unless I do a screen shot then load it onto my computer. I have tried turning it off then on and also resetting it without success. It seems to be fully functioning apart from the screen being off. Can anyone help?

Hey NJF7,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the screen is black. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

ITunes store has no pictures, but everything else works fine

Suddenly after almost 1 year of using iTunes with no problems I logged on and found that no pictures display in the online store. I am connected and everything works fine...in other words, I can select an artist or song or movie and the page will change accordingly. I can play samples and all text is visible...just no pictures or graphics of any kind. I am at the latest software revision. What's the deal?

In my case I also lost the scroll bars and the menus were out of alignment. Tried trashing plist with no success. Then tried Quicktime reinstall after trashing the quicktime plist. Problem solved! Obviously a Quicktime problem. Cheers

Guest access on E2500 not working but everything else is fine.

HI.. I did not use the CD to set up, and instead set this router up manually. We are using this router right now as a hotspot only.. and all is good. I can see both new networks and the WIFI laptops are talking no problem. Only issue I have is that guest access is not working - by that I mean it can't get out on the internet. I can see it as available and connect to it. Guest access and SSID broadcast are both enabled obviously.
Is there something special guests have to type into a browser? Or did I need to use the CD? (I read on a google search that cisco connect on the CD must be used?) Any help very much appreciated!

Really appreciate your help with this. I am a bit of a novice here.. but.. After some more searching on this issue I notice your comments (cut/pasted below) with respect to this router and bridging mode. You mentioned that I should update my firmware on this router and that this would (if I am interpreting your reply correctly) facilitate my LAN to LAN connection and of course using this router simply as an access point and more to the point - having the use of the guest network. So my question is even if I did update firmware, seems I would still require 3rd party software to make this work? (re your last sentence in your comments below) Just need to understand the process and determine whether or not it is worth it (or maybe I should upgrade the router) but I don't want to change the configs of the network wired router at this time... and need to use the E2500 or facsimile as simply an access point with guest network functionality, Thanks much appreciated.
"Again: some E series routers already support wired bridging in firmware, i.e. to use the router as simple access point.
This is and was always possible using a LAN-LAN setup instead.
The problem with the LAN-LAN setup is, however, that you have some limitations accessing the network storage or network printer, e.g. the router doesn't have the correct time and you cannot access the storage from remote using port forwarding through your main router.
These limitations have been overcome with the wired bridge mode (internet connection type = bridge mode).
But again: this has absolutely nothing to do with wireless bridging. That's something completely different and is not supported on Linksys routers in any firmware version so far. To do wireless bridging (i.e. the Linksys routers connects wirelessly to another main router) you need 3rd party firmware."

Cannot log into or reset WRT54G but everything else is fine?!?

I have a WRT54G v8 that works fine, routs the internet connection just fine to my System, my uncles System, and then also to a Vonage modem for phone service. But from my system I cannot log into 192.168.1.1. The page never comes up, it always times out. Same on the other system. Both are hard wired, no wireless. I really need to be able to access ports and forwarding and what not. BUT, I also cannot seem to reset the thing. I had DMZ enabled for the vonage, and if I'm not mistaken, that is NOT the default setting yet every time I hold reset for 30+ seconds, the DMZ light comes back on. Can anyone offer help on this? Thanks.

Turn off the modem while you're trying to access the router. And turn off any software firewalls or browser proxy settings.

On my iPhone, my home button and sleep button won't work but everything else is fine.

It's just fustrating.

Have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!

have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?

If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8.

Why is the new firefox constantly blinking on my screen? everything else is fine but firefox now blinks and is unusable in 4.0

why is the new firefox constantly blinking on my screen? everything else is fine but firefox now blinks and is unusable in 4.0

Hi DGuerra, based on a past thread, the missing comments may be related to using avast! and its browser add-on(s).
Firefox is so easy to customize that it's not really surprising to find differences between two systems. These can relate to the menu choices (orange Firefox button or classic menu bar), toolbar layouts, and of course, add-ons.
If you have a preference for one setup versus another, hopefully these articles can equalize some of those layout issues:
* [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]]
* [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
You can compare extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
Perhaps you can get the two side-by-side to make it easier, or to extract a text list, you can use the troubleshooting information page. Either:
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
The button in the upper left corner "Copy text to clipboard" will grab the configuration information from entire page.
