G570 - Installed Suse 12.3 when rebooted had no display
Installed Suse 12.3 64bit on my G570 as dual boot and all was well until asked to reboot and then had no display on screen, however trying remote display via PC cable or HDMI is okay. My G570 is a 4334 with a 2.30GHz i5, 4GB RAM & ATI Graphics. Any ideas I find it hard to believe that my LED backlit display/LCD chose that time to fail. Any ideas please gladly welcomed! I even tried updating BIOS which while successful didn't restore the display. I don't even get bootup or BIOS or GRUB on laptop screen however remote displays are fine either by HDMI or PC cable.
I'm still stuck with my Macbook Pro having a dead screen 99 per cent of the time after updating to 10.5.3.
On rare occasions it will boot, and everything works just fine until I either put the machine to sleep or shut it down - and then it's more likely than not, come next time I want to use it, the screen is dead.
I'm avoiding constant forced shutdowns when this happens by avoiding keep trying the machine, full stop, because the last thing I want is to lose my data due to the hard drive giving up after the constant abuse of a load of forced shutdowns.
Help?
Am I going to have to try wiping the entire machine and then never daring to use Apple's Software Update again for fear of an authorised, legit update toasting my display?

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)
Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Hi all. I have Yosemite on my iMac. Can i restore via my external hard drive to an earlier time when i had Mavericks on my iMac? If i can which operating system will i end up with? I would like to do this because i prefer Mavericks to Yosemite. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I've never seen that problem, but others have reported it. Maybe you should search for those other topics. You might try the following:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Then download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite.
Then download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
i downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd to new replacement HD thru USB adapter kit. computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then i erased the internal hardrive and reloaded the operating system.( i needed to find out if the hard drive was bad or virus/worm was the cause). then installed replacement hard drive into iMac. when rebooting, imac did not recognized new replacement hd. i also upgraded memory at the same time. ok what did i do wrong. do i have to remove the new replacement hardrive to extract the data.
It should not matter. CCC will "clone" the recovery partition as well, but not knowing exactly what operation you had CCC perform it is difficult to know what may have gone wrong - it has many customizable options and you have to choose the correct one.
I have performed the same transplant as you described and didn't have a problem, but if your Mac is not recognizing the internal HD you really have no choice other than to reinitialize it as suggested. After that, install OS X, upgrade to Mountain Lion if required, and migrate your old account(s) from your backup.
my backups have backups.
I assume you didn't mean that literally. Have redundant backups - don't "back up your backups". -

Since installing Windows 7 professional via bootcamp onto my 2008 24" imac i have no sound. The sound worked when i had Windows xp installed. I have tried every solution suggested on various forums. Can you please help me?
After you install Apple driver to enable the audio chip, YOU then need to manually download and install (Cirrus or Realtek audio depending on the Mac).
Cirrus realitypod mac audio driver

Eddie,
There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp & MS Windows users. Because that is where the Boot Camp guru's hang out I'd recommend re-posting there. -
i had purchased Photoshop Cs5 extended when i had a windows comp now i bought a mac i need to install it again how can i do that
You would have to purchase a Mac version of CS5. You cannot install a Windows version on a Mac. CS5 is not a current product so you can't get a free platform swap.
Speak to Customer Service and see if it is possible to upgrade to CS6 ($200), and get what is know as a platform swap to Mac.

I am using Windows XP and just installed Elements 12. When I try to select a different brush or shape the drop down list will not stay open long enough to select a different item. I have used Elements 9 for awhile and have not had this problem
grannybel
It would appear that you are destined for the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum since your question is related to Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements which is the focus program where you have posted.
But, while the arrangements are being made, here are a few things for you to think about if you have not already
1. Reset Tools - Select Brush Tool, then
2. Delete Settings File
Go to Full Editor/Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the option "Reset Preferences on Next Launch".
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

How come when you had updated & installed ios6 to your ipad the apps store & itunes is not available in the Philippines.......please consider Filipino ipad & iphone users who have been downloading latest apps from store everyday...need your PROMPT ACTION
Thank you for your responses.. To Sjazbec, At least you guys in Germany and the Netherlands have some kind of posters from Apple to let you know that the feature is not available.
There is no such warning on the Irish Apple site.!
My point was that, I would not have even considered trying to reorganize my itunes library had I known that the feature is not available in Ireland.
And that falls into the domain of Apple Ireland advertising.. which I"m sorry to say is false and misleading.
There are no "posters" telling the Irish customer that icloud / itunes music is not available!
I"m not blaming Apple for not "having the feature" in Ireland.. I am upset at them for falsing advertising a feature that they cannot for whatever reason deliver to Irish customers..
To Keats 2010 LOL... Trust me there were lots of clouds in Ireland today!.. It's a long time since we've seen the sun!.. As for getting your head around the basics.. I could talk you through everything that doesn't work in Ireland if it's any help lol -
My itunes was removed when i had a virus, if i re install will i still have all my stuff?
My itunes was removed when i had a virus, if i re install will i still have all my stuff?
Well normaly yes, because your music is not stored in the itunes application, it's stored in you music.
unlesse it has been infected of deleted by the virus or the anti-virus... -
when i try to install firefox again it says the computer must be restarted to finish uninstalling previous version, but when rebooted and tried again it says the same thing, What do I do?
Please try this: Copy the files formhistory.sqlite (or formhistory) and places.sqlite (or places) if they exist and delete the entire Mozilla folder in %APPDATA% and also the Firefox folder in Program Files. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Please see this.]

can someone please tell me if there is any problem if i download this. i am asking this question as i was in trouble when i had installed maverick [hard disk crashed]s
Well it does detect the camera, under USB in the System Profiler it says "FaceTime-HD-camera (built-in)". But the image distortion.
Since you can't see the image, here's a description: it shows horizontal lines all over the place in the image, and the lines are quite tall and they contain part of the image but moved horizontally to the left or right, and in a different color as well. So for example you could see part of my face but there is a horizontal bar where my eyes are located in, and it is moved to the left so that my eyes are at the left of my face. I hope that made some sense...
Will try to get to an Apple store next week. -
10.8.1 disables monitors when rebooting in 10.6.8
I just updated Mountain Lion to 10.8.1, When I reboot in my preferred OS (still 10.6.8), I lose the Apple Cinema Display driver and another driver for a cheaper Hanns-G monitor. Before updating to 10.8.1, while in 10.6.8 both monitors worked fine (for years). Each OS is installed on different volumes.
Today that changed. Before I rebooted into 10.8 I had two working monitors when booted in 10.6.8. After updating 10.8 to 10.8.1 I had 2 working monitors in 10.8.1. When I set my startup disk to be 10.6.8 the drivers appear lost (the Apple display works, but with a different looking driver) and the Hanns-G monirot is on, but black!
To test if the monitor was actually working I rebooted into 10.8.1 and both monitors were fine. When rebooted to 10.6.8, the Hanns-G was on, but black.
Does anyone have any idea what's happened? I don't understand how one OS can somehow affect another, even though they both reside on different volumes on different hard drives.
Thanks,
MartyPTurns out I had to delete from both the Applications folder and an external drive that had a copy of the installer on it. Update notification didn't disappear until I deleted both, emptied trash, and ejected the external drive.

V120 server scrolls message when rebooting
I have just obtained a V120 server and installed Solaris 10 3/05 (should probabaly have installed a later version, but it was the only one I had in my possession at the time....I am downloading the latest version today...) on it and patched it up with the latest 10_Recommended cluster. I also installed 2 kingston sync 133 1GB memory sticks in it instead of the Sun 512 MB sticks that were in it before installing the O/S....
I noticed that when I was installing the O/S, when it rebooted, it came up with a scrolling message (which I will try and insert a jpg of at the end of this msg. Every time after that, when I would do a reboot, init 6, or anything that would restart the box, it would just start scrolling the message. If I would poweroff and poweron in the LOM, it would start fine or if I would init 5 and power back on, no problem....only when rebooting.....
Anyway, I replaced the Kingston memory with the Sun memory that came with it and it works just fine.....
I guess I have to stick with Sun memory, huh? Or is there a work-around for the non-Sun memory that I can try?
Thanx .....
Now, here is (hopefully) the error message....
PSTATE=0000000000000414 TBA=00000000f0f00000 DCU Control=000000000000000f
AFSR=0000000000000000 AFAR=ffffffffb459fff8 PIL=000000000000000f

TL=0001 TT=0068 TPC=00000000f0f0b658 TNPC=00000000f0f0b65c

Had to copy and paste text, so formatting is a little funny.
PSTATE TBA and DCU Control are on one line.
AFSR AFAR and PIL are on the next.
TL TT TPC and TNPC are on the last....
The same message just keeps scrolling until I poweroff.
I will probably just end up getting some more SUN RAM, but it would be good to know if there is a simple work-around....thanx,

[email protected]Allan,
Though that platform uses PC133 RAM, your Kingston DIMMs may just not be compatible.
The systemboard of the V120 requires ECC RAM be used, and not all PC133 sticks are ECC.
Most RAM vendors have a compatibility tool on their web sites. Kingston Technology does as well (www.kingston.com). Please consider using it to reference their part number to compatibility with that computer model.
That would eliminate that as a contributing factor to the errors you observed.
