Brand New-- It's on but I can't see a thing....

I just got a refurbished iBook in the mail tonight. Before turning it on I installed an airport extreme card. Apparently that was a mistake, because the computer won't turn on. Well--I suppose it does- when I press the volume keys, I can hear it. But the screen is black and I can't see anything. Please Help!!!

Try holding a flashlight up to the screen to see if anything is on it. If there is, then its likely that the backlight is not working. If that is the case call Applecare asap and let them know about the problem.

Well--I suppose it does- when I press the volume keys, I can hear it. But the screen is black and I can't see anything. I've tried taking out the airport card, restarting it, resetting the PRAM and booting it up with a software CD inside. Please Help!!!

    Contact the seller. Since you didn't turn it on before installing the AirPort Extreme card, you don't know if it was acting this way when it arrived or not.

  • I created a new playlist on iTunes but I can't see it on my iPhone?

    I created a new playlist on iTunes but I can't see it on my iPhone?
    This is iPhone 6 latest OS version

    Hi ik-graphics,
    So you synced a new playlist to your iPhone but it isn't available on the phone?
    When you synced the playlist to your iPhone with iTunes, did you have the music set to sync the Entire music library or Selected playlist…?
    3.  Select the Sync checkbox, then select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
    If you had it set for Selected playlist, please make sure the new one is selected to sync.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • I dropped my iphone 4S and the screen is black. i can still hear the key sound but i can't see a thing.

    My iphone 4s was dropped and i cant see a thing but still can hear the sound of the keys...

    I would try restarting
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
    If that doesnt do it take the phone to an apple store and have it assessed

    Try Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • After installing 3.6.9 update, none of my plugins are working now. not one...why?everything is still installed and it didn't say that it's incompatible with my version of firefox but i can't see a thing..no foxtab, no script, etc...

    after installing the update (3.6.9), all of my plugins are not working anymore...not a single one!

    One of the files that stores details on installed add-ons may be corrupt. Try removing the files to see if that helps. Firefox will re-create the files and in the process re-build the list of installed extensions and themes. For details of how to do that see the section on corrupt extension files in the [[Unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.

  • MacPro starts up, but I can't see anything

    Started having issues with Photoshop CS2 not wanting to startup. I would have to shutdown and kill the power. When I would restart I could hear it but not see it. I would restart once more and everything would be fine.
    About a week ago, the problem stopped. Then it started back this morning - with a vengeance. Now, I nothing I do helps. I've tried different monitors, unplugging periperals, the works. But I can't see a thing.
    Could it be the graphics card?

    Add me to the list. I'm posting to all threads in the hope that Apple will pay attention. This has to be a firmware issue.
    The problem is that four times out of five, the Mac boots to a black screen.
    I believe the computer is booting all the way up, because I have the front power button set to put the computer to sleep, and when I manually power down the machine using the power button, the Mac will go to sleep first.
    Also, the Mac will go into Firewire disk mode when connected to my MacBook.
    My setup:
    MacPro 2008, 8-core 2.8
    14 GB RAM
    ATI 2600
    Here's what I've tried:
    Reinstalling and updating OS both 10.5 and 10.6
    Diskwarrior
    PRAM zap
    Pulling all USB and firewire peripherals off the computer -- Mac promptly booted to black screen, so peripherals are not the issue.
    I have tried booting to the Apple Hardware Test on my commercial Leopard DVD and Snow Leopard DVD, but the machine will not boot to this (these disks will boot the AHT on other Macs). I no longer have the original CDs that shipped with the Mac.
    I've suspected the video card, but according to posts, apparently this is not the cause.
    Before this, the Mac Pro was having a related issue pertaining to VMWare Fusion, wherein the Mac would occasionally not wake from sleep, logging a VMWare Fusion kernel crash.
    For the moment, I'm not shutting down the Mac Pro, just turning off the Cinema Display.

  • Bought brand new Toshiba A500 laptop, but no Windows 7-64 CD/DVD

    Bought brand new Toshiba A500 laptop, but no Windows 7-64 CD/DVD's came with it, just the programs installed on the computer. Since I have been a long-time Dell customer, where all programs installed also come with various CDs/DVDs, I am rather surprised, especially when you consider that I bought a complete Win 7 Utl OS. Where are the discs? For me this can be a future deal breaker. Is Toshiba so confident that their machines will never need to see an OS disc?

    they havent put the discs in with there products for a few year now. there is a recovery partition on the hard drive you can use for a recovery. they also have a program called recovery media creator on your laptop to make your own recovery media. it is a way that if people dont make the recovery media you have to call and order some and toshiba gets another $25 for the user. there is a section in your users guide( search users guide in start menu) about page 60 shows how to recover from partition.
    hope that helps

  • New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

    I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

    Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

  • Hi I just lost my brand new laptop in a taxi. Can it be tracked? Thanks.

    Hi I just lost my brand new laptop in a taxi. Can it be tracked? Thanks.

    "...I just lost my brand new laptop in a taxi..."
    left not lost. Happens all the time. I found an iPhone once in a taxi and someone once someone left one in Starbucks. Those returns were easy. I would follow steve369's advice, call the taxi company and hope for the best. Good luck. Next time when in a taxi or limo maintain the bag strap across your body.
