Got Unibody MacBook for $100 off CL but need help!
Hi there,
I just got an unibody macbook off cl for only $100. It is 2ghz intel core 2 duo, 2 gig of ram, 160 gig hdd, and was loaded with leopard but I just upgraded it to moutain lion. Anyway, Since I got it for cheap so of course it have one problem. It works great most of time but the screen show fizzy (NOT FLICKING) It is hard to explain because I am deaf, but it does fizzy on the screen if I move the hedge. It will go away by itself in few sec but if not then move the hedge then it will go away. I will try to add photobucket image to show you what it look like. Hopefully it will show you. From my research, I was thinking its bad inventer but most of time I noticed macbook's screen was flicking caused by bad inventer but this is fizzy/fuzzy on the screen. Please help! If no luck then I guess I have to drive two hrs round trip to Apple store. Thank you for your time!
It works fine most of time.

I know the screen is fine because it is not cracked or anything like that but what do you think? Thanks!
You should take the Macbook in for a complete diagnosis at the Apple store. From the images you have posted it would appear there is a problem with the graphics card - not the display. This is a serious issue that cannot be solved by the average user at home.
Good luck!

Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help. Can someone give me some direction ?

OK so yes, but if, and only if:
(1) your MacBook has a Firewire port (not all do)
- and -
(2) your old external iSight camera works (not all do)
- and -
(3) your MacBook is working properly.
If you are not certain whether your MacBook model has Firewire, you can search MacBook Technical Specifications for your model. Alternatively, check the User Guide Manual that came with your MacBook for the information you need to be certain.
If you are not certain that your old external iSight camera works, you can test it using the suggestions in this link.

Follow the instructions in your iSight User's Guide to connect and turn on the iSight. Then launch the Apple app you want to use with your iSight. If you need more information about using an app, search for "camera" (without the quote marks) in the Help menu choice for the app.

If you need more direction, post back the specifics of what you still need. We will offer further direction based on the details of your reply.

All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW. This is for all of my photos. I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so all photos goes to Default or as shot. thanks
Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

My iphone 4S wont allow me to restore a bckup of icloud it has just rebooted the os and for over 24 hours i have been trying to fix it i use this phone for my job so i need help. when i try to restore it says "Your iphone could not be activated becuase the activation server is unavailable, If the problom presests goto apple.com/support" It has done this for 27 hours now PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow !! Need help ? what is the solution?
Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow !! Need help ? what is the solution?
I've ran a benchmark on my Mac (iMac early 2009). Performance of Yosemite in general was about the same as Mavericks. But that can be different on other Mac's of course. Safari is mostly a bit slower. It's recommended you clean your old internet-caches and then restart Safari. (you can use a little app called CCleaner to do that). That might make a difference. Speed-issues are usually solved in the first and second update of OS X.

hello, my ipad mini doent work i charged it till the next day and it didn't work i charged it again till the next day and it didn't work what should i do i didn't use my ipad for three days please i need help????
Didn't work in what way. Are you unable to start it up? Does it start but then freezes? Does the screen stay black when you turn it on?
Try this - press the home and power buttons and keep pressing them until the apple logo appears. -
I am un able to send mail as it gets stuck in my outbox. This is a recent phenomena. I am sure the solution is simple but need help?
I looked everywhere for a solution - and I finally figured it out! Deleting my accounts didn't work, but here is what worked. This worked when my Gmail accounts were not sending properly. I'm not sure if it works for other e-mail services.
1. While in Mac Mail, click "Mail" in the top left corner of the screen
2. Click "Preferences"
3. Click "Accounts"
4. Select your account that isn't sending properly
5. In "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" there will be two options - Gmail & Gmail (offline)
Make sure that "Gmail" is selected and NOT "Gmail (offline)"
If you navigate to another section in Preferences, it will ask you to SAVE - make sure you save your changes!
It worked for me, hope it works for you! -
I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??
Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

Purchasing MBA but need help on upgrades.
Hello, I am purchasing an MBA, but need help on upgrades based on the following; I will be attending medical school in the fall, I take a wide range of photos of my family on my iPhone that I play with on certain apps and do store them in the cloud and computer, I have a medium iTunes libaray but will get bigger with the additional apps for school, I am a moderate gamer (I play games online as well as my kids do, but nothing that will take up a ton of space when downloaded like Assassins Creed) and I plan on running MS Office. I've already decided to upgrade to the 8GB but I can't decide if I should upgrade to the 512GB Flash or stay with the 256GB and upgrade from the i5 to i7 or stick with it. I don't plan on buying another until I graduate. I am new to the Mac World outside of the use of my iPhone which convience me to convert from my awful PC. Can you MBA experts relay some advice on a good route. I appreciate it, Thanks
My rule of thumb is to buy the largest drive storage available. Especially since the Air models can't be upgraded to a larger size in the future. I also like to buy the most amount of RAM offer and as with the storage space on the Air models can't be upgraded once purchased. So Bite the Bullet and spend the money to get both the most RAM and the largest storage offered as neither can be increased later on. Also I suggest you spend the extra money on the Applecare extended warranty because to fix any Mac once the standard warranty is over is very expensive. You have until the one year standard warranty runs out to buy the Applecare extended warranty.
