Having some problems getting into my macbook.

Well my macbook was working fine and i let my uncle watch some videos on it and then he shut it down. Now when i go to turn it on it takes forever on the loading screen with the apple on it and after that it goes to the blue screen and just freezes there. I don't know what happened and this is my first mac so i dont know what to do. I really need help.
Thanks
Andy

Hi there. Having some problems getting my calender to show the correct days for birthdays I have in my contacts. If the correct date in contacts is the 22nd, then in iCal it appears on the 21st. Has happened on 3 occasions. All have been in the 20's ??

Hi there,
Having an issue where some birthday dates in my contacts appear as a different date in my iCal. One day before infact. Most are fine but three are incorrect. Seems to be all involving dates in the 20's. Have tried editing contacts but to no avail. Have read about syncing but because most are correct I am not sure about this. Very perplexed! The contacts dates are all correct.
Thanks for any advice.

Having serious problems getting into my account it's asking the secrurity questions i've tried eveything fromt he forum to reset it. it's not working.

why can't you get tech support! i had to change my password. itunes is telling me my secrurity questions are wrong. can't get the right answer's or anyone to talk to. and i tried a couple of things mentioned in th forum they did not work.

It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

Having some problems getting my movie clip to tween..

Hey guys im animating this banner right now I'm going to have the van come from the far road and come up the closer hill..
I took the van made a movie-clip of it clicked into the movie clip added the rest of the layers to the van like the wheels. Then I made the wheels a movie clip went into those and animated them to rotate but when i go back to the main van movie clip to tween it to move left to right it just doesn't work? I can't explain why..
You can download my .fla file here: http://download156.mediafire.com/6qc84i6u7pag/sebfbqkezzemq82/Final+Banner+Flash.fla
if you can figure out whats wrong i moved the van animation to the front so u can find it easy.. I don't understand :S

The new motion model will keyframe for you. You create one tweened instance, and then make changes along the tween span. For example, move your playhead to frame 24 in that Fla and drag the van. The motion is automatically inserted.
You will be able to delete that second tween span (the one on frame 25), and drag your existing tween span so it's longer (mouse over the end of the span until you see the double-ended arrow, and drag to the right).
For the differences between old motion and new motion, see: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/motion_migration_guide.html

I am having a problem with my 2009 Macbook Pro

Hello Everyone,
I am having a problem with my 2009 Macbook Pro . A few weeks ago I plugged it into the charger after running it down to reserve battery power. It appeared to be charging, but then all of a sudden my clock and calender reset to year 2000 and then my computer blacked out and went dead. I tried to boot it up but nothing happened (literally nothing). I have tried 3 different chargers on it, but all I get is a faint green light and even after hours it still won't boot up. I have tried replacing the battery, but still nothing happens.
Any Ideas? I am pretty desperate to get my computer back up and running before school finals.

You may have to see if an authorized Apple service specialist can check over
the charging system (magsafe dc-in board, power adapter, and MacBook/Pro)
and test or run a diagnostic on it, to be sure there is no damage or failed parts.
When you attached the adapter to charge the computer, after it said it was going
to reserve power, did you shut down open applications and stop using the MB/Pro?
That would've been the thing to do, since the margin of run-time near the bottom
of the power cycle can be wrong by the gauge estimate, it can just quit.
While I have not researched your year/model/series in detail, I do know some
models of Apple portable computers have a small battery or capacitor on the
logic board, separate from the main power battery; it may need replacement.
A service provider w/ Apple training & parts would be a likely resource to fix it.
Good luck & happy computing!

Have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless. Trying to print to it from my iPad2. Having some problems.

I Have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless. Trying to print to it from my iPad2. Having some problems. Trying to print docs or files from the iPad usuall gets me a page that looks scrunched up to one side. Is there a good printer app (preferably free or shareware) that I could get or is there a patch, new driver, new firmware or something for the 8500 that would allow good printing fro the iPad wirelessly?

The latest firmware version for your printer is DLM1FN1006BR; you can verify yours by printing out a self test page via the front panel of your printer.
Also, the HP ePrint Home & Biz app supports printing over your local wireless network, so please verify if your printer is connected to the same access point as your iPad2. You are also able to verify connectivity by typing your printer's ip address within the address bar of your safari web browser.

I downloaded the 09 version without deleting the 0, and now I am having some problems : when I open a document, it opens with 09, and then when I try to re-open it with 08 it is not possible !

I downloaded the 09 version without deleting the 08 (didn't know), and now I am having some problems : when I open a document, it opens with 09, and then when I try to re-open it with 08 it is not possible ! I have a message saying tha "the fichier index xml is absent" (my computer is in French. I want to work with pages 08 until I get familiar with the 09 version. What shall I do ? What does this happen?

Once you open the files in the new version you can't open them in the old version. Pick one version to use (have to be 9 now as you already have converted files)

I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

Because I know enough to be dangerous... I was trying to extend the two outside columns down.... Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
The other link problem is the left sidebar links. When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page. I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article. From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
<a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it can't find the page). To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing. It makes no sense. When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what. I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
Got any ideas?

Hi Jamie, It sounds like the directory is corrupted or your HD is going bad.
Did you check the system profiler and see if the S.M.A.R.T passed. Do you have TechTool or Disk Warrior? There are some programs out there that will allow you extract information from a dieing drive.
The flashing question mark is telling you that it cannot find a functional operating system. And disk utility will only repair drives with a bootable OS.
I know you said you did but, did you boot _from the install disc_ and run disc repair?
I'll see what software for recovery there is for free.....

I am having some issues getting OS X to mount the hard drive from my old laptop (Windows 7). Is there anything I can do to mount this?

It is not showing on the Desktop or the left colomn of Finder (Set to do both in Finder Prefernces) and is not showing up under the Disk application under Utilities (Sorry can't remember the name off the top of my head!)

You should be able to read NTFS formatted drives, just not write to them. For that matter, USB Flash drives generally come formatted NTFS for use with PC's and they have to be able to mount on a Mac in order to reformat them for Mac use. The Windows utilities supplied on those Flash drives will be deleted when the drive is reformatted for Mac use so I routinely copy them to the Mac desktop first before reformatting.
You might look into something like this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/ if the enclosure is an issue. It looks weird but it works.

I really wish I had started counting, you must be post #100 or something. I suggest you browse this forum. This issue has been going on for at least 3 days now. It happens to some part of the time, some for all the time, not at all to others.
It's not clear what the issue is, or where it lies. If it's something to do with Apple's servers they are not likely to discuss it. There was an issue like this a few months ago with the weather widgets and people kept on posting with no news until one day it suddenly started working, again with no news. If you wish to, you can report to Apple.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

I am having some problem to write র্যা (ro-a jofola akar) in indesign

I am having some problem to write র্যা in indesign... I am not being able to write it there, where as it's possible in MS word. Can anyone suggest me what to do?

Ar you using a font that has the required glyphs? Do you have the correct language assigned to the text (language is a character-level attribute, it is NOT set by choosing a dictionary in the prefs)? Is one of the World Ready composers turned on?
What is happening when you try?
