Computer won't start. sounds like it makes an attempt at accessing a hard drive. but then just goes to sleep. no start up noise. no displays come on.

Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Which Apple TV do you have.

I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now. HELP!!!

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, make sure that Office applications are closed when you turn off the computer. Then, when you are going to turn off the computer in  > Shut Down, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in"

Hi
My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
Good luck

HT5824 When I log into icloud, I click on advanced and i want to reset my photostream but it does not give me the option. Any advice??

I am trying to delete photos off my photostream. I have logged on icloud.com and clicked advanced and then I was told to click on reset photo stream. When I click on advanced, it does not give me the option for reset photo stream. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That option was removed some time ago. You can delete any photo from photo stream on any device where you are logged into your account.

Just got a new Dell computer with windows 8 and when I plug my iPhone into it it does not see my phone in iTunes, why

My new Dell computer with windows 8, when I open my iTunes and plug my iPhone 5 in the computer does not see my phony, why?

Hi, Robert.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Firefox v28 will not launch yahoo and yahoo email often hangs. the problems started with v28, does not even load the homepage in the addr bar on startup.

i set yahoo mail as a homepage.
start firefox v28 and the screen goes blank, nothing shows in the addr bar and it just sits with
the spinning green icon. no problems until i moved to v28. i often have issues with flash player
hanging and created a dos bat file to kill it but that is not what seems to be happening with yahoo. pretty much everything else works. FF freezes but killing the plug in releases it. the newer versions
of FF seem more flakey than the older ones. thanks for your help

How do you kill the Flash player plugin using a BAT file -- are you killing an Adobe Flash exe or Firefox's plugin-container.exe?
You can start up Firefox to a blank page using the Run box on the Start menu, with this:
firefox.exe "about:blank"
Hopefully that will at least get you in. Then, for Yahoo mail, make sure to access your mailbox through the Yahoo home page (or AT&T Yahoo home page, etc., as the case may be). And:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens you can remove your Yahoo cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, some advanced features, and some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Note: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Pls someone help me out. my iphone 4 just crashed .. it does not even charge nor start???

i downloaded this new app swann veiw pro in the morning and now when i accessed the app in the evening ... after 30mins or so my phone just crashed and would not start. i thought it be be the battery but it is not even charging. pls help someone

A quick search here did the trick and I think I am back in business. My battery was fully charged, I knew that was not the issue, so I held down the Power button and the Home button for 15 seconds and the phone reset and rebooted. All seems well now. I thought it had to be a software glitch, but had forgotten the two button reset protocol.
All seems fine now!! WHew!!

HT5706 I have not used my apple tv in a few years, and just got it out of the bag. I connected it up, and it cannot set date, time. it also does not interact with the remote. Could it be as simple as a new batter is needed for remote?

I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV. I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV. It attempts to set date and time and cannot. I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also. Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?

Hi kybriar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take to troubleshoot the remote itself:

Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
Select Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by selecting Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.

Photoshop CC does start and terminates under MACOSX Maverick, disconnect/connect to creativecloud does not changes this.

I did install Photoshop CC recently together with LR5. After the CC launch, the program comes up and disappears suddenly. Discconnect and connect to the creativecloud does not change this. LR5 works without problems. Some installation on a second IMAC at a different location does work without problems. For me it looks that CC does not recognize my iCloud permissions.

Hello, I found a Post. I tried this and it works perfectly, you don't have to re-install CC or install CS6 all you have to do is that you install the Nik Collection in Photoshop CC (32bit) (plug ins) then you copy the "Google" File and that is the important one !!
into:
Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels\ ...........
it works perfectly.

Why is it that Apple cannot get their bluetooth technology right? The3GS does not even find the handsfree kit, computer etc? While a cheap $59 phone can do that from Nokia? why don't Apple get their act together?

Why is it that Apple can't get their bluetooth technology right? I cannot connect to my Honda Civic VTI-L 2011 model using the bluetooth? While I can do that using my cheap Nokia phone ($59.00)? I shelled out $380.00 and this is what I get...
It will not even connect to my HP Elitebook 8540P??? Before anyone starts, this is what i have already done:
Installed the latest OS 5.1
Switched on the bluetooth on both device
And they are next to one another
So don't post here saying things that I have already done. Used the Bluetooth technology frequently so those carp from Apple about making sure devices are discoverable blah blah blah...don't even go there.
Will not buy another Iphone and will tell everyone that I know of that it is a piece of overhyped ****.

"What Apple did say that it has Bluetooth Technology,"
It does have bluetooth technology. It will connect to may types of devices via bluetooth.
using any other phones, the Bluetooth Technology means that you can connect to other devices with Bluetooth Technology."
Iphone connect to other devices as well. I connect via bluetooth all the time to my car. Like any other phone, it does not connect to ALL devices for ALL purposes.
You seem to have very little understanding of bluetooth technology. Perhpas you should read up on bluetooth before you begin a rant based on your ignorance of the subject.

Is there a log where OS X records timestamps of sleep start and stop similar like uptime but for sleep mode?

Hi all,
I would like to record the activity of my Mac and see for how long it was running. Is there a log where the Mac sleep and restart are tracked as in the uptime command? So when I close the lid and open the lid?
Thx
Nic

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
sudo pmset -g log | sed '/UUID/d;50q'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.

Running Sum does not reste at the start of new period

Hi Gurus,
I am using function Running SUm for a variable. The problem is our Fiscal period starts in September. SO the running sum should reset at teh start of every period. but its not happening.
Any Idea why?
Regards

Hi,
As I see it
num RunningSum(measure[;Row|Col][;reset_dims])
You are using to many variables for reset_dims, if you wanna do it this way, create a variable and add this v_FY_Sort_1;Output;Site to that variable then use
RunningSum(COGM RM Cost Total Amt Actual; variable)
