HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

It's really disturbing to see so many people having the same problem I am with the HTC Rhyme!

I've had my phone for a little less than a month, and it just stopped working. Never dropped, never wet, fully charged, but NOTHING!!! ANY assistance would be appreciated.

Apple does not hear you here. You will want to go to Apple.com/feedback to get your voice heard.
If the iPhone 4 is under warranty they would replace it for free, so I am assuming it is not under warranty. An out of warranty repair would cost you $149, so if you are quoted another price it could mean that the device beyond replacing.
You should call back in to Apple to explore other replacement options

I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

Songs disappear from itunes library - and from the harddrive - by itself. One song here and there, not entire albums. Have been surfing on the web, and can see that many people have this problem. What is the solution?

I'm deeply worried. About to digitalize my entire CD collection, but can't continue until this problem is solved, or i'll risk slowly loosing my music. Song by song. Discovered the problem while browsing the Itunes library, when I realised that for example song number 2 and 11 was missing from one album, and 4 and 7 from another album. Very strange. When browsing the when I found lots of people experiencing the same. I'm using the 2011 Macbook Pro, and the Itunes library is on the Macbook Pro harddrive.
Hope someone can help....

just want to add that i use Itunes 10.4.1. But I can see that users have problems with many versions.
I have an ipod shuffle that i connect once and a while. But the songs that are dissappearing are not the ones on the ipod as far as i can see...

2 apple ID's to 1. With so many people having the same issue of 2 legitimate accounts by accident or whatever, why would Apple not let us merge them into one? It would simplify our lives and I don't see why Apple won't allow this.

2 accounts to 1. I was so anxious to set up my new iPad at the store that I accidentally set up a new Account. With so many people requesting to merge 2 legitimate accounts that they own, I can't understand why Apple is refusng to allow us to do so! This would simplify our lives so much. I have just switched over to Apple products and if I could at least set up both accounts on my iPad it would help -without signing in and out. I could do this on my android.

I have made many attempts to install the 11.1.4.62 iTunes update unsuccesfully! Error 6034, iTunes.exe has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. I see that many people is having the same problem. How do I solve it...

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I have taken a 12 month membership for cc and photoshop. I now see that adobe are offering the same product for only $9.99 per month including lightroom, whereas I am paying $19.99 a month. Is it possible to change plans without any penility payments.

I have a monthly membership to Photoshop CS6 costing $19.99 per month on a 12 month membership. I now see that Adobe are offering the same product for only $9.99 per month. Is it possible to change plans with any extra costs to me. Thankyou

Hi rjmo
Yes, you can switch to the Creative Cloud Photography Plan without penalty.
Please check this doc for the differences between this plan and the Photoshop single app plan you have currently: Photoshop Help | Differences between Photoshop and Creative Cloud Photography Programs
Let me know if you wish to proceed with the switch and I can arrange it.
Thanks

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

Music on iPhone4 4 automatically shuffles music and shuffle is not turned on in anyway. Anyone know how to fix this or is anyone having the same problem? This didn't start until the big update a month ago!!

Anyone know how to fix this or is anyone having the same problem? This didn't start until the big update (5.0) a month ago!!
When playing music there is no shuffle button like there was before... On the playlist there is a shuffle bar but this does nothing when I touch it. It's either stuck on my music is messed up.
Any ideas??

Start playing a song.
Select the album artwork area for the song playing to reveal the scrubber for the song.
Is the color of the icon located at the right of the scrubber blue?
If so, that is the shuffle icon and blue means shuffle is on. Select the icon to turn shuffle off. White means off.

Hey guys so I upgraded my 4S to iOS 6 and I noticed I didn't get turn by turn navigation. Which was promised in iOS 6. Just wondering if anyone was having the same problem.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the monitor. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

I purchased the master collection. But I can't sign in to register the product. I am in China. I noticed that many other people has the same problem.

I purchased the master collection and installed it correctly. But I can't sign in with my adobe ID to register the product. And it says that the software will stop working after 1 week. I noticed that many other people in China met the same problem. can anybody helps to solve this problem? Thanks!!!!

I THINK I might have found out a fix. First, I went in and signed into iMessages, but left Facetime logged out. I then went in Settings and turned off FaceTime altoghter. Afterwards I went to ensure iMessages was still signed in (Paranoia perhaps lol). Then I went back in and re-enabled FaceTime. The information was inserted back in, but Caller ID for Facetime was unchecked, so I selected my email address instead of phone. And both have oddly been working fine and stayed signed in since. No password requests at all.
I have zero clue why this works, but it does. I only figured it out thanks to obcessive behavoir and inablilty to accept it was broken lol. Anyone else with the issue want to confirm if it works for them as well?

I was referred to this site when I looked for answers to why I got Fatal Error message with error code c0000005 when trying to upload photos to my computer. I see that someone else asked the same question, 90 people viewed but no answer given?

It looks to me like it is a problem on your Windows computer not being able to start an application. See the following link to Microsoft Community support (although the specifics of the problem in that case may not be applicable) and also note all of the "Related Content" at the upper right side of that link (and there may be others if you search that forum). http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/the-applicatio n-is-unable-to-start-correctly/bbb9c037-77b3-4fae-93b9-ded70f7f9a17
It may help if you know or can determine which program Windows is trying to open when you upload photos -- there can be many different ones and it can be set by the user. If you are using Windows 7, you may need to check your Autoplay settings. There are some instructions in the following link that may help and that discuss how you can use Windows Explorer to manually transfer the photos: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
