HT1444 Screen is blank on startup but works fine when doing a safe boot. What could be wrong?

I have a Mac book pro 15 inch and the screen goes blank on startup. Screen comes up on safe boot. Also updated OS on line and do not have a backup disk to repair from. What should I do?

Video but No audio when playing from ITunes. What could be wrong?

I'm trying to play video from iTunes on my Apple TV. I get the video but no audio. I am able to view from Netflix fine. What could be the problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try adjusting the audio out and dolby digital settings.

I am traveling and cannot connect my bluetooth keyboard to my MacBook Pro where I am. It was working fine when I left home. What can I do to fix the problem?

If you can get them paired again try making them "favorites" from the Bluetooth system preferences.
Try smc and pram reset too. May gave to do this before you can get them paired.

The iTune Remote App has stopped finding my iTunes library when connected to wifi from my main router, but works fine when connected via second wifi router on the same network (different SSID)

I'm running iTunes Remote App from a couple of iPhone 5's and a first generation iPod Touch. iTunes is running on a PC - Windows 7. My home network runs two Wifi Routers, each with a different SSID. I've had no problems with the Remote app running this set up for the last 8 months but recently the App can only find my iTunes library when the iPhone/iPod is connected via one specific router, when connected to the network via the other router, no iTunes library is found. I'm also running an Apple TV and it's the same as the iTunes Library, only visible via the one SSID.
Everything else seems to work fine when connected via either router, eg Internet on the iPhones (definitely via wifi)
I've tried renewing the lease on the iPhone wifi connection, restarting everything.....several times.....
It used to work fine, this only seems to have been a problem in recent weeks
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Ian

It turned out to be the firewall settings on our router. Her machine was sending traffic that our router interpreted as a DoS attack and blacklisted her Airport's MAC address. That's why it would work fine if she switched to Ethernet.

Mail won't send mail when in wireless mode but works fine when wired

Ok, this happens all the time. I have several pop email accounts, all of which work fine when I am hooked in to an ethernet cable, but Apple Mail won't send any of my outgoing mail form any of my accounts when i'm am working wirelessly.
I always get a message like:
Cannot send message using server smtp.name.net
I try to switch servers and I cycle through all of them, getting them same message, followed by things like:
The server response was: 5.1.2 Bad or missing RCPT domain k39sm5757680wah
Any advice.

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
You may use “network locations” to more easily switch between network settings if necessary, as described here:

Gray screen on start up, but works fine when hard disk in usb

Im using a Mac book pro which is around 2-3 years old now i think. Anyway, a few days ago it froze while using it, when i restarted it i just got a blank grey screen (no spinning wheel or apple logo) and it just stays there.
I replaced the standard hard drive with a samsung 840 EVO ssd 250gb a few months back and it has worked fine since.
I tried all the setup/safe mode keys during start up and it still gets stuck on the same blank screen.
I took it to the "genius" bar at the apple store and the guy that served me said it was a problem with the hard drive and told me to wipe it and reinstall the os. I've just taken the hard drive out and connected it via usb port, using the connector provided with it, to try and get into setup mode this way, however the laptop now starts and works perfectly fine with the hard drive connected this way. I tried connecting it internally again and got the same problem with the grey screen again.
Im very annoyed the so called "genius" at the apple store told me it was a fault with the hard drive when it is clearly functioning properly and almost had me erase it and loose all my things. Very poor customer service and even poorer knowledge on his part.
Has anyone had a similar problem or have an idea what it might be?

Darren,
one possibility is that your MacBook Pro’s internal SATA cable could be faulty, since your SSD works well externally but doesn’t work well internally.

Iphone 3gs screen goes white after unlooking but works fine before

Hi everyone.
This is my first post here.
I got an Iphone 3GS that worked fine yesterday and then suddenly after the unlook the screen the screen goes totlay white.
I have tried the rebot thing and after that the phone works untill it looks the screen and the it back to white again.
I have tried to update the phone software to the latest because the phone looks fine in iTunes. No change
I have done the factory reset no change.
I have even but an old backup to the phone when the phone worked. no change.
What can I do to get my phone working?
thanks in advance

This is a rare but classic iPhone 3GS White Screen Problem. It is due to faulty LCD Display.
Before and during any iPhone 3GS repair make sure the iPhone is OFF. Because the 3GS Logic Board and new LCD is vulnerable to damage when repaired with it being ON.

New MBP Retina wifi is awful - even with bluetooth off! But works fine when using Ubuntu 13.04

Hello - I've recently as of last week - purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina.
I've dual booted it with Ubuntu 13.04.
The wifi is terrible when logged into the OSX. However, works fine in Ubuntu! I've tried turning bluetooth off as suggested in many forums, but to no avail.
Any idea - my first Mac too, so I'm trying hard not to give up and just return it for something else!
Thanks

Was the OS X wifi terrible before or after you installed Linux?
Linux is not a Apple approved operating system for running on Mac's.
The open source community has a different philosphy than commerical companies like Apple or Microsoft, it might be that your OS X wifi drivers was surplanted with those from Linux and thus OS X can't recognize them and defaulted to a more basic mode of a slower speed.
Apple doesn't provide drivers publically for Mac's, so it's some third party hacker, with quesitonable skills and non-communication with Apple, that's providing the drivers. So there is a problem there, which I've found out about myself when installing Linux on older Mac's.
I advise Linux and other non-approved operating systems to be run in a virtual machine program instead.
Install Windows or Linux into VirtualBox
Unfortuntly to fix your system and uninstall Linux, which is designed to be installed on generic PC's, is to erase your ENTIRE boot drive, including the hidden EFI parititon where Linux installs it's swap file.
I suggest you take your machine into Apple and tell them what you did.

Data type change made to schema.xml of comments list which is part of blog site template is not reflecting in the existing site but working fine when new site is created.

Hi,
I have created a blog site with the available site template few days back. Now we have the requirement of having the attachments in the body of the comments section.
So, I updated the schema.xml of the comments list available under ../templates/blog/lists/comments/schema.xml to have rich text for the Body field.
With this change, I created a new site and it was working fine. Change is reflected in the new blog site.
However, this particular change is not reflected in the existing blog site. Any changes made to the schema.xml is not effecting the old blog site.
Can anyone suggest what can be done for the change to be reflected in the old blog site?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards, Keerthi Suryadevara

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add attachments in the body of the comments section.
You can add the the Code inside the Default list pages. For more information, you can refer to:
Enable Attachment in SharePoint Blog post list and display the list Attachments
In addition, you can add an enhanced rich text field to the comment list and remove the body field. Then you can insert files into comments, too.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Iphone alarm doesn't work when the phone is charging but works fine when it is not plugged in, any reason for this?

Recently my alarm hasn't been going off on my phone when it is plugged into the charger. This is a problem as i have work most mornings and have been late. When it is not plugged in the alarm works. I know it would mae sense to charge it before i go to sleep, take it off the charger, set the alarm then wake up but was just wondering if there was any reason why I might be experiencing this issue?
Cheers

This is something peculiar, normally that doesn't work that way
when did this happen? if it just happened, then something probably went wrong with either the software or the hardware
do charge the proper way, and see if it happens again
or try completely draining the battery, and charge it to 100% and see if its gonna solve the issue with the alarm

Hi Vinay,
Generally, the error occurs because we deploy the package that contains Script Task/Component across platforms, e.g. from a 32-bit develop environment to a 64-bit production environment, and vice-versa. To avoid this issue, we need to open the package in
BIDS on the destination server, recompile the Script Task/Component, and redeploy the package. If you have not recompiled the Script Task/Component on the destination server, maybe you deployed the package from a different 64-bit platform.

AO and AI do not appear to work with the M&A Explorer. What could be wrong?

Preliminaries... MAX v3.1.0.3201
Board PCI-MIO-16E-1 (manufactured late 2002)
I have a relatively unused board that a collegue lended to me. After plugging the board into my PC, the AO and AI don't currently work with the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) Test Panel. Specifically, AI all read -10V (even when pulled to AIGnd) and AI all produce -0.40V, regardless of the commanded output. The device passes self test, but the device fails to perform a self-calibration (error -200545), even if all external connections are removed. Is this board defunct? Does it need to be recalibrated? A recalibration seems unlikely to have any effect given that none of the analog i/o values change with manipulation.
As a side note, the digital output functions do work.
Thank you for any advice.
Steve

Thanks for the input. I either missed the web-based self-test or assumed it was the same as the one included with MAX.
The self calibration, as I previously mentioned, failed with the board disconnected from any cables/inputs. All my previous testing (with the MAX test panels) failed, regardless of using traditional or DAQmx control.
After running the web-based self test, the results are below:
Summary -- Test Results Summary
2/8/2005, 7:18:02 AM, Device 1
PASS: Detection -- Device Detection and Resource
PASS: Single Pulse -- Single Shot Pulse Width Verification

Device 1 did not pass all tests.
National Instruments E Series Device Diagnostics is complete.
Submitting Test Results To National Instruments: Please Wait. . .
Submitting Test Results To National Instruments: FAIL
I'd post the rest, but it's just message after message of tests failing.
The device won't self calibrate, so I had to abort after a few retries.
It's interesting that the web-based self test is so much more advanced than the MAX self-test, which the board passed. I assume that NI doesn't have a replace-for-free program, so I'll have to return this to my collegue (with the bad news), and find one on ebay or the like.

The internal speaker stopped working in my 4th gen ipod touch, what could be wrong with it?

the internal speaker in my 4th gen touch stop working, i can plug the headphones in and it still plays sound through them, when i unplug the headphones it wont play sounds outloud how would i fix it?

Try the sandard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup[
- Restore to factoy defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you very likelu have a hardware problem. Likely a problem with the headphone jack. An appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store would be a good idea.

Graphics card issue: works fine when in boot camp but OSX it has issues.

Hey guys. I've had my Macbook pro since 2011 and it used to run games pretty well on it but now it struggles really bad. If I boot into BOOTCAMP and play games it still works fine . Do you guys know what could be the cause of this issue and how do I resolve this?

Already tried that before. I don't even have any software firewall currently active, and the hardware firewall in my router does not block individual applications. It blocks ports instead, by IP address. My Avast AV software does not have anything that blocks applications either, since there is no firewall aspect to it, just the anti-virus software. Likewise, my Spybot S&D has no blocking capability either.
I followed all the steps in the article titled "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" when I tried installing v24 and v25 last night, which included the steps from the article you posted above with regards to firewalls, as well as changing proxy settings, disabling IPv6 and DNS Prefetching, and resetting Firefox defaults from the troubleshooting page, which blew out all my settings, and still nothing.
I had tried all the steps I could find on these pages, which is why I thought I would post my issue, since I had run out of ideas. I even took a look at the info about the issue some people are getting where it works for them only if they are moving their mouse, but even moving my mouse didn't get any results for me.
