    Can't install- box greyed out? Can anyone help, please?

    Well, I don't understand this any more than when I posted, but it seems that it's the Animation codec that is the culprit. If I export using DV, there's no problem conforming to 24. Anyone have any ideas why that might be the case?

  • Problem with my Macbook - HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

    Hello, and please help!
    This is my second 1.83ghz 1 gb ram 80 gb hard drive Macbook. The first one mooed and had a buzzy display. This one has been perfect for three weeks. Have loved it. But today, my girlfriend shut it down, apparently properly, we took it out of it's case to use it and the fan was on FULL blast. Even though the computer was off! It then wouldn't turn on for ages. The macbook was very, very hot at this point.
    Eventually it restarted when the fan went off ten minutes later. The battery level had gone from 80% to 28%. And then it said 'Mac OS X unexpetedly quit' and carried on as normal.... for the moment.
    My girlfriend said 'it's done it once before' too.
    Any heads up on this? Many thanks in advance.
    Paddy

    It definitly sounds like she instructed the computer to shut down, but did not wait for the Mac OS to actually shut off the computer befre closing the lid. Doing so suspends activity and puts the computer into sleep mode where it still uses power. If you put the computer in a bag, the heat will build up, and I would expect it do do as you described.
    Ask your girlfriend if she waited for the screen to turn black or not. If she did wait for the screen to turn black, then you definitly have a problem that should be taken up with AppleCare, or Apple.
    If this post was helpful, please mark it as such.

    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions

    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode

    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
                iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • After upgrading i phone 4 to ios 5 , my phone locked for ever .! help please

    after upgrading i phone 4 to ios 5 , my phone locked for ever .! help please

    What do you mean "locked forever"? Was your phone hacked to unlock it? If so, updating iPhone software will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to. If that happened to you, you have two choices: 1. Get it officially unlocked, or 2. Re-hack it to unlock it(help with that can't be provided here). Good luck.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

  • LOCKED OUT OF MY HP G60 PLEASE HELP ASAP

    Locked my self out of my hp g60 trying to make a new password and now i dont know what i typed , PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Using another PC, download the application on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
    PC Login Now
    When the download has completed, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer - this will result in another file appearing which is the disc image ( .ISO ) that you need to burn to a blank CD.
    You will now need to use an application such as ImgBurn to burn this ISO correctly to a blank CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
    When the disc has been created, shutdown the PC you can't log-in on, tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter - you may also have to 'Press any key' to boot from the CD if asked.
    Follow the instructions on the guide Here to remove the current password.

  • HT5934 After doing iOS 7 update on iPad 2 I'm now locked out by a passcode. PLEASE HELP

    I did the iOS 7 update on my special needs son's ipad2 which he uses daily, and now its locked the screen with a passcode! I've never had a passcode before so I have noises how to unlock the screen! I have tries generic codes like 0000 & 1234, and even other random numbers just in case, but to no avail (other than to disable the iPad from trying too many passwords!!)
    My son uses this every day for practicing his fine motor skills and many other therapies and I need to get this working again ASAP, please help!!
    I tried to do a backup, thinking worst case scenario I'll restore to factory settings and then sync it from my latest backup but it wouldn't let me do a backup.
    I notice there is now an iOS 7.0.2 update available, my hopes soared when I saw this this morning, thinking it would be a fix for this passcode lock since I've seen online that many people are having the same issue, but it says it fixes the ability for people to BYPASS this passcode lock!!
    I only WISH I could bypass the stupid thing!
    I can't  understand why it would put a passcode lock on a device without letting you know somehow what the passcode IS!
    Very very frustrated and worried that my son can't use his iPad
    PLEASE HELP?!

    Hi MaraAndKaid,
    This article has steps you can take when you're unable to remember your passcode to get things back on track:

  • Locked out of my mac. Please help

    Hi
    I was experiencing something strange on my mac that meant every time I clicked a link from a google search it was always adding the link to my Reading
    List but never opening the link.
    After trying many things I also found that siem of my key functions had changed IE: (.) was now (>)
    Eventually following something I read on a forum I rebooted my computer
    When the computer restarted I was asked to log-in with my password. Text saying 'safe boot' in red  also shows beneath Mac OS X
    The PROBLEM is;
    I know my password but it contains a (&) and with the strange keyboard configuration I have no idea how to execute this symbol?
    I hope someone can help, maybe by replicating this strange keyboard set-up?
    Thanks

    See this:
    What to do if your Mac won’t boot up
    First, try resetting your SMC.
    Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: This will not delete any data.
    The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
    Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
    Then, try resetting your PRAM.
    Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM
    Note: This will not delete any data.
    The NVRAM/PRAM stores information such as speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and recent kernel panic information (if any). You should reset the NVRAM/PRAM if you experience issues relating to these functions.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Turn on the computer by pressing the Power Button.
    On the built-in keyboard, press and hold the Command (⌘), Option (⌥), P, and R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Continue to hold down the keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup chime for the second time.
    Release the keys on the built-in keyboard.
    Then, try repairing the disk permissions using Disk Utility.
    Repairing a disk’s permissions using Disk Utility on the Recovery HD.
    Note: This should not delete any information or files from the disk.
    Repairing a disk's permissions can help solve various file-related issues.
    To begin, make sure your external disk that you are repairing is connected to the computer. If you are repairing an internal disk, skip this step.
    Make sure the computer is powered off before continuing.
    Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
    Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads. If this does not work, shut down the computer, press the Power Button to turn on the computer, and then hold in the Alt (⌥) button immediately after you press the power button. Then, select the Recovery HD partition to boot up in the Recovery HD partition.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Once you are in the Disk Utility app, select the external drive from the sidebar on the left.
    Then, choose the Repair Disk Permissions button on the right.
    If this does not solve your issues, you may have no choice but to reformat the drive using Disk Utility.
    If that does not work, try reinstalling OS X but not erasing.
    Reinstall OS X
    Note: This will not erase any data on the disk. However, it is highly recommended that you create a backup before continuing.
    Reinstalling OS X can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
    Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
    Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
    Follow the instructions.
    Then, try erasing and reinstalling OS X.
    Erase and Reinstall OS X
    Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
    Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
    Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads. If this does not work, shut down the computer, press the Power Button to turn on the computer, and then hold in the Alt (⌥) button immediately after you press the power button. Then, select the Recovery HD partition to boot up in the Recovery HD partition.
    Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
    Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
    Select the Erase tab.
    Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
    After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
    Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
    Follow the instructions.
    If your computer still does not boot up
    If your computer still does not boot up, it may be due to a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment with an authorized Apple service center or by making an appointment at the Genius Bar by going to this link:

    I hope I helped.

  • My sister got locked out of her macbook air. What can I do to help her get back in?

    She tried to reset her password and that wasn't working so she gave up and shut the laptop. When she opened it both her old password and new password failed. :/ She was confused because it hadn't reset her password in the beginning so why wouldn't her old password work?

    In iTunes go to iTunes Store > Account (right column) > Purchase History > See All > Report a Problem. Explain that it's a duplicate purchase and within a few days you should receive a refund.
    There is also a Report a Problem link on the receipt you should have received by email.
