Can't use my Mac need help

I updated my Mac then it wasn't restarting so I turned it on. The screen went blue and didnt change. I closed it and left it. The next day I open it and the screen is still blue so I turned it off then on again. The light blue screen appeared with the apple sign and underneath the little loading symbol continuously rotating. It has been like this for over an hour.

Start up in Safe Mode.

    No it is not.  iPhones, like all cell phones are not locked to countries.  They are locked to carriers.
    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.  Contact the carrier.

  • Can I use my Mac to make a backup file of a MS DOS file

    Can I use my Mac to make a backup file of a MS DOS file?

    Have you verified that the mill is using FAT12?
    Do I understand correctly that the mill boots from the floppy - it has no other storage?
    If that is the case, then the new disk needs to be in the correct format and set up as a boot disk, which will not happen automatically, and I'm not sure if you can do it with OS X. The instructions on this page should help.
    If it is something you need to do a lot of, and have no access to an MS-DOS computer, you could consider installing the Parallels virtual machine software on your Mac, and setting up a virtual MS-DOS system.

  • New iPad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help on that

    my new ipad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help why if any one knows? thk

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

  • Can I use my mac as a fax?

    Can I use my Mac as a fax or will I have to buy additional software?

    Mac's havne't come with modems for years so you will need to buy a Fax Modem. Look on Ebay or Amazon where you can still find them. You will be looking for a USB Fax Modem that is compatible with a Mac. Here is one example:

  • Can i use my mac mini for some users at the same time?

    can i use my mac mini for some users at the same time? i mean with their own screen, mouse, and keyboard

    If you're asking whether more than one user can use the computer at the same time with multiple displays, the answer is no. Other users can log in over a network with Screen Sharing, but each one will need his own computer (not necessarily a Mac.)

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

    I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    Hi Scott,
    You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
    What connections does the projector have?
    Exactly which MBP do you have?

  • When going from a Mac-based Ai to a PC based Ai, the documents "Font" are not found on the PC version?  (mostly Helvetica) where and how do I get those Fonts?  And/or, can I use the Mac version of these Fonts?

    When going from a Mac-based Ai to a PC based Ai, the documents "Font" are not found on the PC version?  (mostly Helvetica) where and how do I get those Fonts?  And/or, can I use the Mac version of these Fonts?
    Thanks, Rich

    In order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf  type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.
