Dead Screen and other Problems

Hello,
I have a friend that has an 30GB IPod that will not turn on.
the Serial No. is 4W6037ZJTXK.
Model # is A1136
What is happening is I turn the switch at the top on and with just battery it is dead, but when I connect the USB charger cable, it will blink and then power down. There is nothing showing up on the screen, it just flashes and dies.
It was didn't get wet or was dropped to my knowledge.
The warranty is up so sending it back to Apple is not an option. (unless I am over looking something)
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Turned out it was a bad DVI port on my Macbook Pro. Logic board replaced and issue fixed.

6300 - blanks to white screen and other problems

Okay, it's my first post here. I've had a 6300 for about a year, and lately (in the last 24 hours) it's developed a serious problem. I cannot access text messages at all ("Message storage memory not ready"), nor my gallery. If I turn it on and leave it for a while, even if it's in the middle of something like a call, it will eventually drop to a blank screen from which nothing works (even the power button), or possibly a "please enter time/date" screen which has the same problem of nothing responding. The only way to turn the phone off after this is to remove the battery, but subsequently turning it back on again is difficult, working about 50% of the time (the other 50% being a blank screen).
If a reset is essential, I'd like a way to do so without losing any messages (particularly those sent since the problem started, since I haven't been able to access them yet), but I understand if this is not possible.
I've tried restoring factory settings, but it often reverts to this white screen before that finishes, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!

Problems with stuck/dead pixels, battery life, ICS, and other problems

Stuck/Dead Pixels:
I bought my Droid Razr at around the 21st of December last year. On or around Christmas, I found a bright red pixel on the very bottom of my screen. Unlucky for me, I was leaving for Florida on Christmas Night. I got back on December 31st. Sometime in the first week of this year, I visited my verizon store and told the customer service lady that I had a dead pixel on my screen and had just bought it. But, she told me that she needed the manager to fix this and there was no manager there. For the next week I was busy with school and sports etc and was not able to go back to the store. It was now past my 14 day return period. So I decided, its only one pixel, most people won't notice it anyway. So here I am 5 months later, just starting to discover more pixels dying on my screen. I now have the one bright red one, two light blue ones, and one dark red. I have no idea what the return policy is on defective phones, and the verizon site is designed so that you can't find anything. And an FYI, I have tried stuck pixel removers and other apps, which haven't been successful.
Battery Life:
I have also been finding more problems with my phone. The battery life is terrible when 4G and even 3G are on. I actually see no difference in battery consumption between 3G/4G. My battery dies about 4-5X faster when data is turned on, compared to using no data. I know it isn't because of the apps I installed since when I use WiFi, the battery is alright. I also make sure that my RAM isn't above 400MB, so that the processor doesn't use a lot of battery. I feel like I completely wasted my money buying the Razr. Mainly because of the fact that the Razr Maxx was announced two weeks later, which has about 80% more battery. Not only this, but I've seen the Razr selling for only ONE PENNY on amazon over the past month and it still is. I payed $300 on my Razr.
Ice Cream Sandwich:
After these major problems comes another one, that I bet all Razr and Razr Maxx customers are still thinking about. When will I get Ice Cream Sandwich? It is very disappointing when you are told that you will be getting an upgrade in early 2012, and are still wondering where your upgrade is 5 full months in. From what I understand, we won't see an upgrade until the end of June, since Motorola has posted on their website that "rollouts" would begin in the second quarter. Even if they release it by the end of June, when will it get to your phone? Maybe another week or two for some people. This is another thing that I feel I wasted my money on. My brother told me to get the Nexus because of ICS, but I trusted Motorola that they would upgrade my phone in a timely manner. WRONG.
Phone Freezing:
One more problem that I've had is that the phone will freeze. Usually you only need to turn the screen off and on, but once in a while, you have to completely reboot your phone. When I was coming back from Florida, right as I was about to get home, my phone completely froze. I was about to go return it, but after about 15-20 minutes, it became unfrozen.
Motion Sensor not functioning:
Another problem, an annoying one, is that sometimes the motion sensor that controls portrait and landscape mode will just stop working. Some of the games I play are completely dependent on the motion sensor. It is very embarrassing when you are trying to show off to an iPhone friend and major components of your phone aren't working. They always tell me "why didn't you get an iPhone?". And I really just wanted to have a phone that didn't look like everyone else's, but I guess that comes at a cost. When the motion sensor stops working, I have to shut down my phone and restart, which takes a couple minutes.
Problems with camera:
My last problem would be with the camera. Sometimes if you bring the camera close to something, like a barcode, it will keep trying to focus, but never will. Another problem is photo quality in low light situations. It seems like the camera can't focus because it goes from being very dark into being bright because of the flash. I doubt this can be fixed because it's hardware, but a potential fix could be having the option to keep the LED light on during picture mode, that way the camera will be able to focus correctly.
In Conclusion:
I really just want someone to tell me how to return my phone for a new one, due to the dead pixels. I also wish I could be upgraded to the Razr Maxx because of the poor battery life on the Razr, but from what other people are saying, that probably won't happen. And finally, if anyone has more info about Ice Cream Sandwich, that would be awesome.

Well since it's a Manufacturing Error it should Fall under your Warranty if you got one with your Razr. You know you can Call C.S. an they can Assist you with the Matter on it.. Just remember to have another phone so they can Trouble shoot the One that is Experiencing the Issue an when you talk to them go over thing. An they should send you C.G.A.N unless they request you to send it in before you get anther one. If you feel Better going to the Store try that. And Good Luck..

Crashes, sound loss, and other problems

Hello,
I have been having some serious problems over the past several months. In the past it was fairly manageable, but recently things have been getting worse.
I have a 12-inch PowerBook G4, I bought it at the McGill bookstore in October 2004. The first problem was the apparently random crashes that Mac OS X (v.10.4.8) would experience from time to time. It was fairly infrequent at first so it didn't bother me too much (and I thought it was just some sort of glitch). But it persisted and came to be expected.
What would happen is that my screen would darken and center box would appear telling me, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." (it would display this message in English, French, German, and Japanese for my convenience). After I restart the computer I get the message, "The computer was restarted after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly". At first it seemed to be linked to time; after a while it would just crash, sometimes after an hour or so, sometimes after as little as five minutes. (I fear as I write this that I will have to start over). More recently I've come to associate the crashes with movement of the computer; perhaps the battery (which is pretty much dead after so much use) is affecting the performance, I don't know.
The next problem, which coincided with the crashes, was my clock being reset. I assumed this was directly associated with the spontaneous shutdown of the computer, yet though the crashes continued, the clock was not always reset (just about a third of the time). This was a pretty frustrating inconvenience given the frequency of the crashes at the beginning.
The major problem that prompted me to take action was the lose of sound. One day, about a month ago now, my sound suddenly stopped working. At first I thought it was a hardware problem, but then I noticed the sound was still working with some things and just not others. For example, the sound increase/decrease indicator (the 'pop' sound when turning up or down the sound) stopped working, yet the startup sound still worked. I've found that Realplayer, MPlayer X 2, and Windows Media Player work fine but iTunes, VLC, and Quicktime don't. Most of the applications simply don't make sound but when I try to video in VLC I get the following error: "auhal: we cannot find our HAL component" or "auhal: audio-device var does not exist. device probe failed."
Other minor errors I have come across include inability to detect the Airport card (remedied upon restarting the computer) and occasional seizing up of the keyboard (the letter keys, exclusively, were unresponsive for sometime before working again suddenly without need of restart).
I've run diagnostic tools such as Disk Utility and the 'fsck' command in single-user mode, but nothing has been detected. It consistently comes up saying that everything is alright.
I have backed-up all important files and programs (with the exception of my Firefox bookmarks, do you know how I can save those?) and am prepared to do whatever it takes to bring my computer back to working order. I need my computer for schoolwork and assignments so if I can fix it myself in anyway... I would prefer to avoid lengthly repairs if possible.
Please let me know what my options are, and/or possible things I can do to repair these problems. This whole affair is, unsurprisingly, driving me crazy.
One last thing, upon launching Microsoft Word, I get the following pop-up:
Application Launch Failure
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "3<Microsoft Word><Microsoft Word><MicrosoftLSLibZ>"
I do not know whether this is linked to my other problems or not. This too, is something that has recently come up and is significantly affecting my work (I have had to switch to writing my essays on TextEdit).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

try shutting down, remove the battery, carefully pull out AirPort card and reinstall it.
maybe run hardware test included with CD kit

Hi, Eric.
1. You wrote: "...my screen would darken and center box would appear telling me, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.""You are describing the following message:
That indicates a kernel panic. Failure to address these when they first arise can result in bad problems becoming worse.
See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.
2. You wrote: "…upon launching Microsoft Word, I get the following pop-up:

I need help !! ... keyboard cures for kernel panics(??) and other problems of unknown nature

OK, let's just start with I'm an idiot !! I know very little and more than enough to be dangerous !!
The machine is a G4 QS 800 DP running Tiger 10.4.11, it had been working well until about 10 days / 2 weeks ago when problems started, about the same time the Firefox, 3.6.18 update came out and I installed it, the problems may have started BEFORE the FF update by a couple of hours, just not sure now.
I was surfing the net and was interrupted with frozen, darkened screen with a multi language message saying I needed to restart the computer, OK, did that, then about an hour later the same darker screen and message, Ok do it again, then again less than an hourlater again, then 45 mins., then 1/2 hr, then another 1/2 hr, then 20 mins., it continued like this for the next 5 to 7 hours, and 9 or 10 "crashes", all the time the same message, I never saw anything else on the screen for any kind of warning or kernel panic (don't know where they show up).
So the battery is 15 months old and tests good (bought a new one anyway, no change, same problems), did the PMU, several times, for sure wrong & to often, no help there, maybe one out of 100 times I could get it to stay on & get online for awhile by holding the command +S keys till the grey screen started, then release them, the rest of the time, it would begin to start up, 10 to15 seconds and die, ... getting very frustrated I tried the reset on the front, no change, then try the "programmers button" (I said I was dangerously smart) then combinations of PMU, reset, prog'mer buttons, Battery out PMU , battery in Pmu, everything disconnected each time, grounding myself each time, trying to not screw up, but knowing I must have many times, even tried a GOOD HDD that BDAqua checked & partitioned for me that is still blank (no OS yet) with install disc & holding C down, still no good action, for few try's I had both hdd's plugged in and got small icon's 1 & 2 for both hdd's while they were in & plugged in.
I talked with BDAqua on saturday, late, after hours, he had already waited for me, so as I described what I had done, HE said that the PMU should be held for 20 TO 25 seconds (or longer maybe in some cases, my impression of what I was hearing), and here is the BIG THING he said that gave me an idea to ask this question, BDAqua asked if I had / suggested I try, doing the PRAM RESET 5 TIMES IN A ROW, of course I had not, and haven't yet. I did do it a few times in all that I was trying, but never in a row, because 1 time never got a positive result, I didb't think of multiple resets (I'm not all that smart, just dangerous). but from our talk, I think I understand it to mean, It may take many ( or multiples of 5 ?) to clear out (flush out the evil demons from the kernels ???) .......
SO MY QUESTION IS THIS; WHAT ARE THE MAGIC KEYBOARD STEPS / KEY COMBO'S, AND / OR PMU, OR RESET BUTTON, OR PROGRAMMER BUTTON SEQUENCES TO FOLLOW, BEFORE I GIVE UP AND CHANGE THE MOBO, CPU'S, OR WHATEVER, TO TRY AND SALVAGE MY G4 QS ???
ARE THERE MULTIPLES 5 (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 PMU RESETS TO CURE CERTAIN problems, like magic combinations ???)
....... any tricks of the trade that I can try, I have only had this machine for15 months and really like it and want cure it's troubles and WHAT EVER I DID TO IT THAT WAS WRONG !!!, it's a self esteem thing at this point, I can let it beat me because I hurt it, I must make it good to sve my own feelings, even though I did wrong, I must make ammends !!!
Many Thanks To All That Take The Time To Read This, ... And More Thanks to Those Who Help, My Deepest Apprecaition To All, ...... wayne146 .......

Note: There is NO magic time required to clear the PMU. A firm, complete push is all that is required.
The PMU reset button is a momentary contact switch because the reset only requires momentary contact.
Another myth is that more than 2 chimes during a PRAM reset resets better.
A reset is a reset.
If you need more than is done in a PRAM reset after 2 chimes, use the NVRAM reset in Open Firmware.

Booting Mac OS X

Multiple sudden booting and other problems: Help!

I have experienced a sudden problem that makes me afraid to shut down my iMac until I sort it out. I have had it for five wonderful, flawless years.
When I tried to boot today, four times it would not. I got to the grey Apple screen and a processing "clock," but it would not go beyond that in any reasonable time. I finally left it running trying to boot. It did eventually, but glacially slow. Then, there was a message that: "!You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read. To continue with the disk inserted, click ignore." However, I had NO "disk inserted."
More wierdness followed.
I tried to insert a memory stick to backup my hard drive, and got the same "disk containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read" message. This is the same stick onto which I have previously backed up with no problem.
I then tried to run my McAfee virus scan, but wanetd to update it first. It does not appear to update, even though it says that it is doing so. The starting message continues to say that I last updated months ago. The Virus scan did, however, apparently run using whatever version it actually had in it, and reported only 2 noncritical errors.
I then tried to run Disk Utility, and it won't launch. I "bounces" up an down in the Dock, but then just closes.
I then opened iMail, and all the previous messages showed as unread, even though they actually all were read.
So, I almost could not boot, get a weird "unreadable disk" message, can't get the drive to recognize a memory stick in order to back up to it, can't update my Virus protection, can't run Disk Utility and am getting weird iMail .
Other things seem to be working okay, although sometimes very slowly.
What's going on, and what do I do?
Separate question: I want to insert a disk into my CD tray to use as a startup disk if I encounter another booting problem. Which CD do I use? Mac OSX Install Disk 1? Mac OSX Install Disk 2? (I think all the Software Restore disks include applications other than the OSX.
Final question: how do I get the CD tray to open on the front my iMac (the "tongue" type tray out of the round base) if I have another booting problem, so that I can insert a disk to use for startup?
HELP! (thanks)

Ali,
Sorry for being slow to respond. I have been trying to get things fixed with Repair Disk.
To answer your question first, my hard drive is 74.52 GB, with 55.59GB available, so I don't think that's the problem.
Quite a few things (but not everything) work once the hard drive boots, which is VERY VERY slow. However, any other media I try to use to backup (Memory sticks, CDs) can't be recognized. I get the "disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read" messae. The CD's also produced a message when I tried to name them of an "unexpected error."
I followed your repair instructions, but it did not solve the problem. The Repair Disk effort produced an error message under "Checking catalog file" of "Keys out of order." I ran Repair Disk multiple times (at least 10x), but the same message kept coming up. I also tried running Repair Permissions, which took about four hours to run. Repair Disk produced the same error message.
I also found an older Discussion string of messages about application Chess (installed with the basic Mac install disks) being corrupted. I trashed it. No difference.
That message string also talked about some people having problems after installing iTunes 6.0.2, but I am running 7.0.2, and it has been on the computer about two weeks beforre any of this started.
I will try Sherry Johnson's suggestions next.
thanks for your help.

Ios 5.0.1 crashing, slow and other problems

I am using an iPhone 4 running 5.0.1 and Im just fed up with it, as much as I loved the iPhone in the past Im afraid I have fallen out of love and I'm conteplating a breakup.
Problems I have had with the version 5.*.* update:
* Safari and the built in youtube app crash at least twice daily and other apps, most notably accuweather and Facebook also crash on a daily basis
* Pages/windows don't load properly, an example of this is the texting app, I open the app and select a converstation, the "messages" button, name and "edit" buttons apear at the top but the area that would disply the text conversation never changes to show the accutual text messages and only pressing the home button and reentering the messages app will fix this.
* I have had text messages compleatly disapear if I recive one while acitivly using the phone, mostly by pressing the home button or preforming other input at the same exact time I recive a text message. I get the popup notification dispalying the text of the message in the notifaction but when I go to reply to the message It is gone, like it never existed.
* Simply navagating the phone such as menus, back buttons, or loading apps is slow. I can out type the keyboard and in general the phone is becoming more and more usless. As an example, wakeing the phone with the home button takes upto a full two seconds for the unlock screen to open, then another full second for the phone to "think" before it unlocks. This is increadibly slow compaired to the previous versions, and much slower than my old iPhone 1 and my non-updated iPhone 3Gs
* I use to have a problem where the purple arrow indicated the phone was using location services about 50% of the time and it was the setting time zone feature. I disabled location services for this feature and it fixed the problem. I did not notice an abnormal battery drain with this problem.
* The keyboard will not hide and/or display at approprate times requireing me to restart the app.
* Notication sounds, mostly incoming SMS sounds dont play at approprate times or play twice a few seconds apart for the same incoming message
* Autocorrect is too easily learning misspelled words leading me to reset the keyboard dictionary too frequently
* Incoming email and SMS messages cause the phone to loudly vibrate while talking on the phone, this is a new problem with ios5. I use to be proud of the iphone for not doing this becasue I talk to people with androids and found the vibration noise very annoying while on the receving end.
My phone is rather clean and I have very few third party apps installed. I use the facebook app, a weather app, and only a few other apps. My storage memory is about half full and thats almost entirly music.
I regualry power cycle and restart my phone, I would say at least once a day.
I have tried to fix the phone by disableing and enableing anything I can find from notifications, location services and icloud and nothing has helped.
I have also tried rebilding the phone, both from a backup, and restored as new. I have taken the phone to an apple store and had them restore it as well, they claim to be able to restore "deeper" than what I can do at home, I assume this is similar to flashing the firmware and not just the software. Doing any kind of restore does seem to help with the speed problem for about 2 days as it slowly gets worse and returns to its ever slow and defective operation.
I have not noticed any problems with my ipad v1 running ios 5.0.1
Two of my freinds complain about a similar experience with ios 5 on the iphone
Does anyone have similar problems or an idea for a fix?

Here's and update on my problems and here are are some screen shots of the types of problems I've been having since the v5.0.1 update. Keep in mind these are native apps and I have tried the rebuild phone crap many times, nothing helps.
This is screen shot of a what happened when I tried to use my camera one day, both the front and back cameras were all black. I had to power cycle the phone to get rid of this problem. The cameras appeared to be working correctly, I could focus and zoom but it was all black.
Here is an image of what happened when I searched for something in a map. This is after I picked the choice I wanted, the keyboard disappeared but the list didn't. I had to force close the app and restart it for this problem to go away. Who knew five bars on ATT was possible.
And finally this is the messaging app, although you would not know it. I had to return to home screen (after a long pause for it to process the button push) and return to the messaging app. This happens all the time with the messaging app and the notifications sounds drive me crazy. If i'm using the phone, say browsing the web and I get an incoming message its almost 100% of the time the messaging app will screw up. The sound will play at the wrong time or not at all, message will show up in notifications and diasapear in message app or Ill have a problem like this:

No Battery Charge and Other Problems After OS3 Install - Solution?

This relates ONLY to iPhone Users using the "PUSH" Function for Email or Other Apps!
PROBLEM: It seems as though Apple is at least aware of the problem(s), i.e. once Exchange Email or another App using PUSH is configured, there is an OS3 bug that seems to be hardware independent (impacting ALL 1G, 2G and GS iPhones, but not consistently).
SYMPTOMS: Include some or all of the following . . . rapid discharge (less than two hours from a fully charged phone, failure to charge (by AC adapter or USB to computer), failure to charge completely, perpetual dead battery icon, inability to boot, inability to automatically sleep, quite warm on upper back side, slow email, indication of a full or partially full charge dropping to no charge or dead when removed from charging source.
CAUSE: OS3 Bug prevents consistent charging, draining the battery even when plugged in to a computer via the USB or into an A/C adapter (although I've been able to intermittently charge on an A/C adapter). In push mode, the Exchange email client on the iPhone continually queries the Exchange Server, cycling the iPhone CPU and continually draining the battery at a high rate (can
WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY APPLE:
1) Defective Hardware (though I'm on my third 3G in a week, so I don't think hardware is the problem . . . Apple will consider replacement with a new 3G if my third 3G has the same problem)
2) Corrupted App in iTunes - so I manually reloaded each app directly over wi-fi, one app at a time, this worked until I configured Exchange Email, at which time symptoms immediately appeared . . . so corrupted app unlikely.
3) Initial data transfer after email configuration . . . but symptoms continued long after this.
4) Wi-Fi - but turning wi-fi on or off had little effect, beyond normal.
5) Restore to New Phone - this works fine UNTIL Exchange Email is configured and activated. Thus, the time consuming practice of reload all apps, photos, music, etc. will be for naught, once exchange email is turned on with "push"
SOLUTION: Turning off "push" on your exchange email account
1) Go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Fetch New Data
2) Set Fetch Setting to 15 minutes to approximate the much more frequent "push" uploads and downloads. NOTE: Turning off \"push\" at this level will NOT turn off push on your exchange email account and the problem will not be resolved
3) Scroll down and select - Advanced -
4) Identify and select your Exchange Server account
5) Select - Fetch -
6) Leave settings
Phone should cool down in a few minutes and work normally. The problem can be replicated and resolved repeatedly merely by toggling "push" on and off in your exchange email configuration.
I was told that this is likely to be the "fix" until a patch is issued. No time frame was given for an actual fix that allows Exchange users to use push technology. Disappointing, since broader use of "push" technology beyond exchange was one of the big benefits of OS 3.0.
NOTE: THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ON ALL iPHONES WITH OS3 USING THE EXCHANGE CLIENT. I have second 3G phone, identically configured (including push to exchange email) that has no symptoms at all. Go figure.

Since two days ago, my battery indicator has been indicating 100% until the phone dies, which seems to be one of the symptoms you're describing.
However, I don't use Push emails; my email client is configured to poll an imap server and has been that way since I got my phone over 6 months ago. To be on the safe side, I turned off Push anyway, but I'm still having the problem. Definitely 3.0 related as I've never had this problem before.
Perhaps it's linked to an app? Personally I don't have a whole lot of them installed: Aurora Feint, fstream, twitterific, flixster, wikipanion, google earth, urbanspoon, STM Mobile, iDicto, Air Sharing, Facebook and Apple Remote. I've removed a few and will see how it goes.

IMac 20" sound and other problems

My dad has just bought me a 20" intel iMac for my 18th birthday, and has let me have it 2 weeks early, and I love it!
But yesterday i ran into various troubles. I turned my mac on, hearing the usual startup chime,but there was no sound at all coming from the internal speakers as soon as I got into Mac OS (fully updated as well as firmware 1.01) e.g. playing a song on itunes. Absolutely nothing.
When I plugged in my usual external speakers into the headphone jack, the sound was unusually low, and when turning the external speakers up there was a very distinct crackling sound along with the music that was playing.
This, I thought, was just a minor problem that could be easily rectified. That was until my screen went a dark transparent grey with a multilingual message telling me that I needed to restart my computer. So I did, and mac os booted up again telling me that Mac Os had encountered an error. I sent a report to apple at this point too. Then the screen went transparent grey again telling me to restart.
This continued, and I decided to quickly back up my files to a nearby pc (I'm recently converted to Macs), and I inserted my Mac Os install disk. I knew what I was doing as I'd formatted a few days ago due to accidently erasing my mac partition whilst trying out bootcamp . I did a full erase of the mac harddrive, and started the install process, when the grey screen happened again! This led me to beleive it wasnt a software fault. I restarted and attempted to install again. This time no grey screen, but a horrible noise came from the under the bottom left of the screen like a violent clicking. I turned the mac off straight away. I booted up again and installed Mac OS without any errors.
Still, no sound and still the grey screen popped up. I finally decided to phone Apple up with the number from the applecare box. The man on the other end guided me through various diagnostic procedures, getting me to hold applealt+RP, and got me to reinstall mac os, at which point we hung up.
Mac OS worked fine this time with no grey screens, but the sound still didnt work. I phoned applecare up again and a woman showed me the sound pane in system properties. The Output listing didnt show internal speakers at all and just showed Line Out. Well all in all my mac is in the same state right now, apart from I keep getting more and more grey screens, and it seems to be really unstable when trying to install software updates for example.
The woman on the phone arranged to have it repaired, but I was wondering whether anyone had any clue as to whats going on with my mac.
I'd really appreciate any ideas or comments about it. I'm sorry about the length of this post too!

hey rob,
if your machine was okay, up to the point of your 'experiment' with installing windows, it looks like your problems stem from a dodgy reinstall after the bootcamp attempt [i did the same thing, duing the formatting prep for windows, erased the os x partition bahhh]...i reinstalled and i haven't had any problems since[trying to find a slipstreaming scheme with the older xp pro disk i have].
importantly, though is this clicking sound, not good.
i'd like to know, through looking in the apple system profiler what brand HDD your machine came with. there would be letters designating western digital, seagate or maxtor.
it may be, that this component is faulty. imho i'd prefer one brand over another that apple uses, other threads on the subject have different opinions about that...; ^]

The Green Screen and Video Problems

Hello,
I've read through the issues and answers on this topic but some of the things are working and some not. For isntance, I was able to resolve one of my issues with some other fixes I had found through general online forums for the "green" screen which plays with only audio. It seems to be working for me on you tube but not on Facebook anymore alhtough Facebook videos worked the first time around when I rebooted.
What I did was go into my internet options and under accelerated graphics I ticked use software rendering instead of...
and under the security tab I ticked enable 64 bit processes in enhanced protected... Should the Enhanced protected mode be enabled as well then? Should I tick that option.
I also treid to do what the answers recommended...such as right clicking on the video in Facebook when it is playing and while I do get a pop up I get settings options or global settings and adobe flash player info...clicking on settings gives me options but none for the "display", only for my microphone, camera and storage. If I click on global settings, it takes me to flash player help. And last option I get my version of Adobe info, which is version 13.00.214. So no option to untick disable accelerated graphics cause I think I've done this in control panel already.
But now why it is working with youtube and not with Facebook videos I also tried to play some home videos like wmv files and other video files in my windows media flash player and there I get a black screen but still audio plays.
My computer is an HP Pavillion Notebook PC and it came with Windows 8.1 already installed. My Graphics Display adapter is an AMD Radeon R5 Graphics Card.
So what the heck do I do now. Should I install newer Adode Player? Even when unticking the accelerated graphis option, this is really not a solution to the deeper problem and issue, because then it slows down your graphics?
My computer is not even a week old and I hate having to always download fixes and constant updates and spend hours researching and trying to fix a problem that really should not occur to begin with. Why are there so many glitches with Windows? Is this a problem related with windows updates as well. Active X controls? Compatibility isuses with 64 bit processes. Should I use Firefox. I did that with my old HP which finally kicked the bucket and that is why I had to buy a new one. I had to replace my battery before even a year and my warranty battery did not last that long either and then the thing finally overheated and died. But I had lots of similar things happen before with last HP laptop so is it Windows or is it HP or is it browsers, players?
I am sorry if I am unloading on you...I don't mean too but it is just soooo frustrating as a consumer to have to always go through these kinds of things. I use my laptop for self employment so please help!!!!!
Thanks for letting me vent.. I would appreciate your help, thank you.

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I am sorry you have experience any issues. I have looked into your issue with the Video issues.
Have you uninstalled Internet Explorer?
Have you tried Google Chrome?
It already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available. Adobe are on version 15. Here is a spot to update. This does have a link to Google Chrome as well.
Here is a link to common Flashplayer issues.
I would try a system restore as this would undo any changes that might have happened with a Microsoft update. Sometimes they have not finished or been installed on the Notebook.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.

40RV525U HDMI issues, and other problems

I'm using the 40RV525U model, and none of the HDMI ports work consistently, if at all. It's been like this since I bought the TV, but I (unfortunately) didn't take it back because I could use component cables with the PS3...it's primary purpose. I recently bought a PS4, and there are no component cables available, and converters don't work. Surpringly, I was able to get the HDMI 1 port to work after changing the PS4's output to 720p, but it wasn't consistent. It worked great for about 3 days, no problems at all. And then last night, it started losing the handshake every 30 seconds or so. I would get the dreaded snow screen (snow looks great in HD, btw) and black screen, and then it would re-connect and I'd have picture for a minute.
The fact that I was able to get it to work for 3 days without the slightest problem leads me to believe that it's a firmware issue. I'm on 1.05, the latest firmware version that I can find. Are there any further updates? The problems with this TV are numerous, but I like the picture, and I can't really afford to buy a new TV.
Thanks

Dreamweaver CS5 crashes in split screen and other cases

EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!
It's affecting my productivity.
I'm running SP2 to Enterprise Vista
CS5 will open just fine. It will open a plain HTML file just fine. but then when I go to split screen and click on the design window I find that it hasn't completely painted the whole of the code into the design portion... in other words it has painted like half the page... and now that I've clicked on the design portion it will crash. The same will happen in reverse... if I'm already on the design window and click over to source it will crash.
I have checked my code thinking maybe there is something drastically wrong with the code that is confusing DW, but isn't that what DW is for?? to be able to edit code that doesn't work right as well as build pages and sites? I shouldn't have to go and check code in another editor. Regardless, the problem remained. (In the words of the great pessimist, Charlie Brown, "Good grief!")
Any ideas?! BTW, I had CS5 installed before and just had to recently re-image my HD. It worked fine before with the same information as above... the only difference being that my previous CS5 was an upgrade from CS4. My new install is a direct install into CS5.

What do you mean with corrupt?
Why did you suggest that I created a new profile?
There are cache files and other system files that are created every time a user account is created. Sometimes these are corrupted in the OS and it really has no bearing on the specific application but it can lead to erratic behavior. Creating a new user recreates all these system files and thus it's almost like starting fresh. It's one step shy of re-installation of an OS. So because changing the user fixed the issue, then we have eliminated the fact that the application is causing the error and we know the OS is causing the error.
I can't just go in to that profile when I want to use?
I wouldn't recommend it. This can lead to more problems with the OS down the road with other applications and depending on where the corruption lies it can lead to issues with OS upgrades or even installing new software. The files that are typically most critical to users are stored in the Applications folder or the Documents/Sites/Pictures folders. You can easily drag them over to a new user account. If you have email being backed up for a product like Thunderbird you can also bring over many of the Library items as well.
