Help with 11" MBA please - won't wake up and data not saved

The computer went to sleep. The screen won't come on and I have documents that I haven't saved yet in TexEdit - I don't won't to force a restart until I am absolutely sure there isn't any other way to get back to the screen with the windows opened so I can save. Any ideas, please?

*Before proceeding, make sure that you have the computer plugged into the power adapter and that the computer recognises the power in.*
Is the computer open or closed? If open, close it. Leave it for about ten-fifteen minutes. Open it and see if you have the hiberation waking screen or a completely dark screen. If it is the really dark hiberation screen, press the power button once and allow it to try to wake up. The newer MBAs system is slightly different than older computers in that you need to press the power button to get the computer out of hiberation.
Pressing the power button one time should try to bring it out of hiberation and to a waking functional condition. Pressing it once gives you options regardless of whether you can actually SEE them... once to wake from hiberation, an option to press S to sleep, R to restart, return to shut down. Do NOT do a press and hold of the power button unless you want to force an unsaved shutdown.

    Need help with my MasterCard it won't work

    If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it is a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Help with access control please

    So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

    Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

  • Help with my MBA---- plezzzzz!!!!

    I have the late 2010 model of MBA with 2gb memory.
    I wanted to increase the hard disk space on it. Also can I upgrade to a 4 gb memory? I also need to get my laptop encrypted for work purpose and will need to install my OSX to Lion /Snow Leopard.Can anyone please help me

    You can increase the SSD size (via aftermarket), at least on the 13". But it is a questionable matter as to whether it  may invalidate any warranty you may have left. The 11" is a separate case, it has no real physical room to accommodate the double sided bladed SSD's which are evident on capacities larger than 128 GB. It fits real tight, and may not be something you want to do on the 11". It might even contribute to overheating of the memory, as increased capacity would be really putting pressure between the two components. This is why the 11" only goes up to 128 GB option on the 2010 models.
    The 2GB memory is permanent and unchangable though. It is soldered to the logic board, and there are no expansion slots.

  • Help with photo albums Please

    Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx

    The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.

  • Help with simple preloader- please

    hello,
    i'm trying to get a simple preloader and progress bar working
    for a swf file. The problem is the main swf. movie starts playing
    under preloader before the preloader is finished. So when the
    preloader has finished you are already well into the main movie.
    (After the movie loops you can see the first part that was missing
    during the preload.) This is the AS that i found from a web site
    (MonkeyFlash), it is AS 3. Below is the script.
    here is a link to the page with the movie:
    http://www.aquatichealings.com/new/
    Also is it not advisable to use AS3 because it will only work
    in Flash 9 and not below and most people may not have 9? Should i
    be starting over in AS2. I had built a AS2 in Flash CS3 but had the
    same problem.
    Please kindly advise on how to make it work correctly. I'd
    really appreciate some help, i've gotten books and scoured the web
    for different methods and i'm afraid i'm a bit of a numb skull with
    Flash and can not seem to get a simple preloader and progress bar
    working correctly. THANKS!
    gregory
    var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("aquatic-h.swf");
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    myLoader.load(myRequest);
    myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,showPreloader);
    myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,showProgress);
    myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showContent);
    var myPreloader:Preloader = new Preloader();
    function showPreloader(event:Event):void {
    addChild(myPreloader);
    myPreloader.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    myPreloader.y = stage.stageHeight/1.2;
    function showProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var percentLoaded:Number =
    event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;
    myPreloader.loading_txt.text = "Loading - " +
    Math.round(percentLoaded * 100) + "%";
    myPreloader.bar_mc.width = 198 * percentLoaded;
    function showContent(event:Event):void {
    removeChild(myPreloader);
    addChild(myLoader);
    }

    ... the pre-loader clip must be accompanied by a "stop"
    perhaps a "stop all sounds", too ActionScript on the action layer
    of the main timeline.
    I keep it simple and ask my prloader to not let the main
    timeline play until the final frame of the movie has loaded. The
    final frame is accompanied by a frame labeled "End" on a layer of
    the main timeline of just labels.

  • Help with action script please

    hay guys, im having trouble with changing my action script to
    allow multiple layers of the same thing in order to show a greater
    sense of depth than the normal application. im using a flash
    toutorial on making a sort of matrix like falling text (
    link)
    and im not completely understanding what to change in order to
    accomplish my goal. i tryed to send them a message using their
    contact page, but its broken, forcing me to find a forum. im sure
    it has something to do with the third group of code where it
    identifies what its using. but whenever i change anything there to
    either match the identifiers or movie clip names the action script
    crashes when i test the movie. any help is appreciated.
    im using flash cs3 and made sure to create it all in action
    script 2.0
    please excuse my spelling, im sure i made a mistake
    somewhere.

    Why in the world would you do that when you can just put a
    keyframe on the last frame and ..
    loadMovie("myMovie.swf");

  • Help with Windows Sharing Please

    Hello,
    I am new to Mac and this is my first mac book 17 running Mac OS X 10.4.8 pro i've purchased through work. I only recieved this 2 days ago. I am having a problem connecting to my windows 2003 active server / domain controller at work and I am having a problem connecting to my windows xp computer share at home when i take my laptop home with me.
    At work I am connecting to my network via wired built in ethernet with the following ip
    IP - 10.43.144.190
    SN - 255.255.240.0
    GW - 10.43.144.2
    DNS1 - 10.43.144.80 - This is my primary Domain controller DNS
    DNS2 - 10.43.144.81 - This is my secondary Domain controller DNS
    I also have parralels installed running windows xp for my proprietary software that only run on xp with the following address
    IP - 10.43.144.191
    SN - 255.255.240.0
    GW - 10.43.144.2
    DNS1 - 10.43.144.80 - This is my primary Domain controller DNS
    DNS2 - 10.43.144.81 - This is my secondary Domain controller DNS
    the only difference is that my ip has change.
    The problem that i am having is when i go to the finder and network i see all my computers on the network even my windows server. but it won't let me connect. i get an error the the alias no longer exsits do i want to fix or delete.
    So i try installing directory access plug-in via directory access and when i go to connect to my domain controller i get an error that it cannot find or resolve my domain name.
    Know if your familiar with stupid windows in order for you to connect to AD your computer must be able to resolve the domain name via DNS. to when i go to ping my domain name eg. my.company.com i get an error cannot resolve. but when i ping the ip address it sees the server.
    So the first problem that i see with mac is that for some reason it resolves the ip address but i need it to resolve the domain name, and i can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
    and if your answer is to modify the hosts file - i tried that and if your familiar with windows networking that won't work on windows machines either - again STUPID WINDOWS.
    So in short how do i connect to my 2003 AD Server.
    The reason i know that my laptop will connect to my domain is that remember i installed parralels on this macbook with windows xp. well guess what - you got it, I connect to my domain. so i know that it isn't a hardware issue or a network issue its a mac issue.
    Finally i am having the same problem at home connecting to my network via the airport. I see my computer but cannot connect to my computer with windows xp shares. Any suggestions?
    If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. I tried calling MAC support and they were no use. They said they were transfering my problem to the engineers. and then they said that they couldn't help me becuase its beyond their scope of repairs. but if its a mac os x problem how can it be beyond their repair? I mean come on I purchased this mac for work, told by the sales man that i would have no problems and that mac support is there for me if i cannot connect but they seem like they aren't. I could've went and purchased a dell and not have this headache of connecting to my server of workstation.
    Again sorry for the ranting but if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated

    Not to sure how to direct you with your issue at home, but here is some help with the server at work.
    As I know it, you have two routes. You are obviously (to me) familiar with networking so you might already know that you can install File Services for Macintosh on the server. It's a component of Windows Server that allows you to connect Macs via AFP to the server. Just install it, share a folder and connect via AFP. Easy, but the drawback is that you are limited to 31 character filename lengths on the Mac share.
    I am assuming you want to stay SMB. For that, you need to disable SMB signing on the server via a Group Policy. Here is a link describing that:
    http://simultaneouspancakes.com/Lessons/archives/2004/12/howtodisable.shtml
    Also, Microsoft has an article on binding a Mac to the domain. It's not necessary, but you can do it if you want to get Active Directory working between the Mac and the server. It will require that the long username for an Admin user on the Mac be exactly the same as a user on the Windows network. If it's different, it won't bind.
    I don't know how that will affect your laptop when in use at home.
    Hope that helps.

  • Not a developer but need help with runtime error, please

    Hi, I have downloaded a game called Fishdom, but it will not open. I get a " The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" error message. The dialog box is labeled "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library". 
    I checked my programs and I have C++ '05, '08, and 2010. I am using XP SP3.  I don't get this error at any other time.
    I have asked Playrix (game distributor) about it and they seem relatively clueless about how to fix it. So, is there anything I can do to fix this error, or bypass the error so that the game will load? I've tried deleting and reinstalling the libraries and
    that did not help.
    Anything you can suggest will be very helpful, because I do want the game and do not want to argue with them about refunding my money for it.

    Hi CatsinQ,
    Thank you posting in MSDN forum.
    According to your description, could you please tell us when you installed the
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library if there have any install errors?
    If you can install the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library successfully, I think that the issue is more related to the game. Therefore, I suggest you can ask the issue to Playrix
    (game distributor), maybe it will better help you.
    In addition, since the
    Visual Studio General
    Forum which discuss Visual Studio the VS IDE issue, so I suggest you can try Brian’s suggestion.
