Broken screen can I use a projector?

Hello,
On a flight to switzerland my screen was crushed on the airplane .... now in Switzerland and want to use my computer but the screen is not useable at all, if I buy cables can I use my computer by hooking it up to a projection screen or tv?
If I order a new mac book from Switzerland can I order a North American one and have it delivered here? Help, I have 50 GB of photos to load up and edit!!!
Sadly,

Speak to your local store and ask the question. This is just a user to user forum. Don't forget, new machines typically run Lion, and are not downgradeable to Snow Leopard. If you have any PowerPC applications, this could pose a significant problem, since there is no Rosetta in Lion. See my three FAQs before jumping to buying the wrong machine:

>if I buy cables can I use my computer by hooking it up to a projection screen or tv?
Most Macs offer that compatibility, but you have to be careful which cables to get. I'm assuming the problem machine is a MacBook Pro? Do you know what age the machine is? We need to know the week and year of the machine. You can get this by finding its serial number, and reading off the 3rd, 4th, and 5th character of the serial number. All other parts of the serial number are key to your warranty, and should NOT be stated on the forum.

Can i use a Projector with iPad or iPad2?

Can I use a projector in the classroom with an iPad or iPad2?

With the iPad2, yes (except for a few apps where that ability was taken out - they seem to mostly be apps for movies/tv stations). With the iPad, not well - only a few apps have "video out' enabled on them.
Assuming you have VGA connector, you will need to purchase the iPad VGA adapter.

Have a broken screen, can I hook up external

Hi guys, I have a broken screen, is there anywhere if I hooked it up with a external screen. Like I tried hooking it up to my tv but basically the tv was a seperate screen in itself and wasn't apple to see the login propt screen. My screen is so bad I can't see hardly anything, just lines ands tuff, any hope here to still use it with a external. Also is it possible to put another computer of the drive of the powerbook. Thanks
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
If you are talking about an iMac, I don't really know much about them. On my PowerBook the F7 key is the mirror key for monitors. You might try that to see if the TV reflects your desktop.
If I understand the last question on your post, you can hook your computer up to another computer with a firewire cable then start yours up while holding down the T key to put it into Target Disk Mode. Your hard drive icon to show up on the other computer.

Xperia z1 broken screen can i do a backup without fixing it ?

i have the phone but it has a broken screen which i cant use the touch totally and i have a password that i cant open but the touch isnt functational so is there any way that i could do a backup to my other phone without fixing it?

If the LCD still works but touch is damaged then you can use a USB OTG cable and a USB mouse to take control of the touch function

Nokia 6300 Broken Screen (can't see a thing) help ...

Hi guys.
I've got a Nokia 6300 and the screen broke the other day and I'm unable to see a thing. I can still use the phone though (blindly of course)
I'd like to transfer my numbers from my phone to my sim and to be able to do this without being to see.
So if someone could help me with shortcuts? I think I can press the menu key, then some numbers (am i right?) rather than up down etc etc.
Any help would be really really appreciated as i'm stuffed without a phone at the moment!
Thanks so much!
Charlie

once in main menu, i cant just go to any sub menu by pressing a number key, i have to use directional pad to go to CONTACTS, in there, press UP, (go to the last selection)it's COPY CONTACTS, an other UP, it's MOVE CONTACTS,
choose either one, once in, you have two option, first: FROM PHONE TO SIM, 2nd: FROM SIM TO PHONE, if u select the first one, it asks : move contacts? press center to answer YES, and wait, it may takes a while, i did with 60 contacts, in about 20 seconds.
by default, in grid mode, the upper center icon is the contacts.

IPhone with broken screen can't sync, what will I lose?

Hello,
I apologise if this is a really stupid question.
I last backed up my phone a few weeks ago, carried on taking pictures with it etc, and then dropped it, breaking the screen which turned black with a single white line down the middle.
I can receive calls by guessing where to swipe so it is sort of working.
A new iPhone is in the post, but I can't back this phone up because I get the following message when I try:
"iTunes could not back up the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be backed up."
I have been searching the web, but can't find a way to unlock the phone.
So (unless anyone has a genius idea, in which case I will love them forever), what will I lose if I don't sync?
I don't think I should lose the photos I took since my last sync, since Photostream should take care of that, no?
Many thanks, C

There is no way for you to backup with a broken screen.
You will lose whatever wasn't backup.

Mac mini with a broken HDD, can I use an external to make it work?

I need to buy a mini. The one I am looking at has a broken HDD. Can I use an external harddrive to make it work?

If the computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, use its original disks(phone AppleCare if needed) and an external optical drive.
If the computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.2 or earlier, you can also use a retail Mac OS X 10.5(for PowerPC models) or 10.6(for Intel ones) DVD.
If the computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, you don't need an optical drive. Start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down; the hard drive may need to be installed inside the computer for this to work.

Can I use a projector with my ipad2

Is it possible to use a projector with the ipad 2, my preference is for a HD projector

If you plan to play back protected iTunes store movies too, go for the HDMI adapter. It also has a socket for recharging while connected. Both are opposed to what the (otherwise, equally good-quality) VGA adapter does.

Why I can't use a projector with rented movies from ITunes

I rented a movie from ITunes, I downloaded to my Ipad and I tried to watch it in my projector, the communication with the projector is good, but when the movie start my IPad says that the display that I am using is not a supported display for protected material, but with Netflix it works perfectly. Can someone help me out here?

By default Apple does not allow you to project or put any rented material on "external" devices i.e screens or projectors
You may be better off contacting your local Apple Store

Software opens in menu and dock but not on screen, can't use any of it.

I am the administrator and my husband is a user with limited access to system preferences. On Thursday my side of the computer has gone crazy. It worked in the morning. The electric meter was replaced on my house in the afternoon which may have caused a power surge. On Friday when I turned it on I got a message that my time and date was not correct and that some software might act weird because the date was before 2001. I tried opening system preferences to correct the date. It showed open in the menu and in the dock but never opened on the screen so I had no access to it. The hated beach ball spun forever. All of the software I have tried to open does the same thing. They won't force quit. I have to manually turn off the computer and when I turn it back on they have been shut down.
If I log in as my husband, the software all works but I don't have access to my documents. I can't change the clock because he isn't authorized to change most of the preferences. The clock apparently isn't the reason that my software is misbehaving because it is working on his side.
If you can recommend any fixes I will try them if I understand them. I did run disc utility from his side and it said everything is fine. Looking forward to some help so that I can avoid turning it over to a repair shop.
Sincerely,
Gail L.

You can probably install it into a working computer as a second drive. Typically that just involves opening the computer, and plugging in a power supply and data connection. Unless you already have two drives in the computer, there should be unused connectors available. You'll recognize them because they should be chained with the connections to the drive that's already there. If you touch anything inside the computer be sure to ground yourself first to avoid the rare possibility of a static discharge which could damage sensitive electronics.
You can also buy a converter to use an internal drive as an external drive. Might be too pricy just to attempt some data recovery, but if the hardware itself is still good you might consider ultimately reformatting the old corrupted drive and using it as extra storage space.
Either of those options would probably preclude the necessity of a target mode boot, since the drive ought to show up and your data be available. Target mode would be a way to access the old computer as if it were an external drive.
Interestingly, the Mac Geniuses claimed they had the same problem as you, that the old computer would freeze when they tried to copy data. I don't know what they were doing, but I had no problems when I used the firewire target mode. In my case, the drive was OK, but the mother board was supposedly bad. Your situation might be different, so what worked great for me may not help in your case.

HT1212 Broken screen, can't enter passcode. How do I get my pics and vids off without entering a passcode

How do I get my pics and vids when my screen is busted and my phone is password protected?

It's a good thing you have your Camera Roll backed up from the last sync you did with either iTunes or iCloud!
Your Camera Roll photos can be retrieved from the last sync once you get your replacement iPhone. The rest of your photos are backed up elsewhere on your computer from your last sync.

Blue screen - can't use disc utility

My 2012 Macbook Pro won't start up and has a blank screen after doing the mac tune with the apple logo. I tried starting up with command R keys held down and then again with Option key held down to get to the recovery HD and then it gave me a blue screen both times.
I have pulled out all peripherals however in September last year I had the dvd drive replaced (as it wasn't working) with a Sony Apple SATA DVD drive. Don't know how to get around this.
Before it broke down yesterday the hard drive fan was running quite hot and loud.
Anything else I can try?

After IOS5 updating, I can't use my projector

I have a IPad2. Yesterday, I updated for IOS5.
During rebooting, I connected HDMI Adaptor.
Suddenly, "This accessory not supported by Ipad" message appeared.
Now, My Project(Optoma EX762) is displaying smaller image.
Before the update, it was perfect.
I used it to present the music books at church.
But, I failed to present today.
So, Our pastor was embrassed.
Can anybody help me?
Here is Korea and there is not genius shop.
Please, help me. - [email protected]

I also have an IPad 2 with as IOS 5 update and I am experiencing problems when I try a recently purchased HDMI adaptor. If I try to connect to my tv when my IPad is on i get absolutely nothing. If i make my HDMI connection with my IPad off and then turn the IPod on i then get the "This accessory not supported by IPad" message with no connection success. I have tried this with 2 tv's. I look forward to responses to this problem ([email protected]). I gather from other discussions that this message never appeared with pre IOS 5.

My iPhone 4 needs updates, but my computer is broken. Can I use someone else's computer to update?

It's been a while since my computer crashed and refused to work again and I cannot afford to get it fixed. It's been a long while since I was able to update it last. It's now told me it needs to be restored or something, but like I said, I don't have a computer to do that on. If I use someone else's computer, will it update and continue to work? And will I lose everything by doing that??

Yes you will loose everything.
