  • Macbook pro not turning on after SMC reset. I have the following problem. Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011does not sleep when closing the screen. smc due loud fan and an X on battery symbol

    Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011 dos not sleep when closing the screen cover. Today I Turner my laptop in. However the fan was working loudly and stayed loud. After Start I noticed an X on Battery symbol. Clicking on it, it showed 'no battery.' I found out that a potential solution for this problem was SMC reset. I also noticed that the leds on magsafe was not lightning. Despite this I tried to execute the smc reset as described on apple support site. Switching off, plugin the magsafe connector, pushed the buttons shift + alt+ ctrl + power. Then i pushed the power button, but my mbp is not turning on. I pushed several times on the power button but nothing works. The magsafe is also dark meaning the leds not lightning. Can anyone here help me on this ?

    Problem solved by my own. But do not how :) magsafe again working and the laptop tooo

  • How do I turn off the "bong" start up tone without turning off all other sounds?

    How do I turn off the "bong" start up sound without turning off all other sounds?

    The start up tone is an important part of the start up sequence however if you want turn it off there are utilties that will do that. You can use Google to find one.
    BTW, if you look in your owners manual it says;
    "If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When youriMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass thestartup process."
    My recommendation, follow the manual and don't shut the computer down.

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
    one more bug in a complicated system I guess

  • I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up and now I can't restore the phone without "turning off the find my iphone setting"?

    I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • I've lost the ability to turn off Full Screen

    Since software was updated yesterday, i've lost the ability to turn off Full Screen, and it's driving me mad
    I've used help and it told me to go to Display options, but all i have on there is Page Overview, View Images and Page Info.
    Help!

    yeah right, in previous firmware there was an option to go full screen manually, but now when page loading completes, it goes automatically full screen, and according to my experience it can't be turned off, we have no option but to click the Arrow button in corner to get back to normal screen.

  • I formatted the computer without turning off my products what should I do?

    I formatted the computer without turning off my products what should I do?

    Install them all again.
    Sorry, in seriousness, are you worrying about activation of a perpetual license?  Pick up the phone and call Adobe Customer Support.  Explain to them that you've reinstalled everything from scratch after formatting your system, and would like them to make it possible for you to activate Photoshop again.  They'll work their database magic and you should be good to go to activate with your serial number again.
    If you're on the Creative Cloud I don't believe you need to call anyone.  Just log in with your Adobe ID.

  • I can only text through ordinary message when not connected to the internet to someone, but when I am connected, it is automatically assumed as iMessage. How will I text ordinarily without turning off the net? Thank you!

    I am from the Philippines btw. What I meant is, I cannot text someone ordinarily when the net is turned on, and it assumes to be texting through iMessage. How will I text someone without turning off the internet in an ordinary way, not in iMessage? Thank you.

    I Tried that already, but if i turned it off, I cannot send an imessage to people I want to text through imessage. There are people in my contacts that when I text, it is automatically as text message, while there are some that when I text, it is through iMessage automatically, and I just want through text message also. And for the latter, I still need to turn off the wifi in my phone for them to be texted through iMessage, which is more hassle.

  • Pull out the SIM card without turn off

    What would happen if I pull out my SIM card without turn off my iPhone? Is it harm my phone?

    Probably not. I've certainly done it on a number of phones, unintentionally. But it's not best practice.

  • MacBook Restarts After Closing The Screen

    I have a new MacBook that I purchased the first of October. It has been running great until recently. About a week ago it started restarting itself after I closed the screen. I can use the laptop with no problem and then close the screen to let it goto sleep. When I reopen the MacBook it will restart the machine. At first I thought there was something with OS. So I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled OS X. The MacBook still restarts after I close the screen. I have installed the new firmware updates that has come thru on software updates. I am stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    The same is happening here, though only intermittently. I have a MacBook 2.0 purchased in May. The issue just started within the last day or two. I have not tried reinstalling anything or swapping drives, but on the surface, this would appear to possibly be related to the "MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.0" released and applied 11/13. This was said to address "start up and wake-from-sleep issues on MacBook computers."

  • Cant install flash 11 without turning off IE???

    Cant install Flash 11 without turning off IE???

    This typically occurs when reinstalling the same version, however there can be other cases where your current browser needs to be closed so that Flash Player files can be unlocked.  Are you running into an error where the installer won't continue?

  • How do I ignore a wifi network that keeps wanting me to log into it, without turning off wifi?

    I work in a building with several networks. I don't log onto any of them, mostly because they are either locked or they are pay-as-you-go and I get by just fine on 3G.  My problem is one on particular is relentless, it's splash screen and request to logon pops up everytime my phone pushes for mail or messages or a webpage changes.  I could go and turn off wifi, but when I get home from work I often forget about the setting I made 10 hours earlier and end up spending the ev evening surfing on the slower 3G.
    Is there a way I can have specific networks "ignored" without turning off wifi completely?
    Thanks!

    Settings>WiFi>Tap the blue chevron next to the Network>Forget this Network.
