  • What are some reasons why my screen might be shutting off on its own?

    my laptop runs great and is 4 years old. its battery lasts 2.5 hours+ when fully charged, but as of 1 week ago its been experiencing screen problems. it seems this error could be fixed one of two ways, either by closing the laptop and allowing it to restart and also by turning the contrast all the way down and then increasing the brightness only slightly. tech support at best buy (where i have insurance on my ipad) told me it seems there might be a loose hinge and/or the screen's led light might be giving out, and that such a repair would require a screen replacement that would run me $500-$600 since my macbook is an older model. i need your  help!

    I would recommend against using Best Buy for support. Frankly they are clueless most of the time.
    Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

  • When trying to send a pdf for multiple digital signatures, it keeps erroring out.  What are some reasons?

    I am having trouble sending out a document for digital signatures for multiple people.  I enter the signature fields and click on Distribute.  It then allows me to choose the receiving parties.  I click on <SEND> and it processes for a moment and then I receive the following two errors:  "Failed to send" followed by "Form distribution is aborted".  It was working for me earlier and isn't now.  I am fairly new to Acrobat and especially Digital Signatures.  What are some possible reasons I am getting this error?

    I finally got the document to send out by unclicking the "Collect name & email from recipients to provide optimal tracking" button, however, the responses come in as anonymous, so it's not real helpful with tracking my responses.  Plus, I don't know if I'll encounter problems with follow up.  The normal tracking system allows me to resend a message to those who have not responded.  Now I guess I would just resend the request to those I have determined have not signed.  Still working through the bugs but I'll update what I know and figure out here.  Perhaps I will come to a solid solution and give a better summary.  
    As of now, I am sending and receiving responses... but the recipients have to change the received file to save as it is coming to them as read-only.  Seems like this should be a whole lot less complicated.

  • What are the reasons why a wideband modem can not take a CPE?

    I have an M-CMTS with RFGW1.
    I have the following settings:
    int c6/1/3
    downstream Modular-Cable 1/0/0 rf-channel 16-17 upstream 0-3
    int c6/1/4

    cable rf-channel 17 bandwidth-percent 45
    cable rf-channel 18 bandwidth-percent 45
    cable rf-channel 19 bandwidth-percent 45
    the cable modem gets online, but does not take cpe, my question is why?
    D2.0 modems do take CPE, but the 3.0 modems do not. I know that may be a problem in the RFGW1 because another time I changed the port and it worked.
    but I would like to know the reason why only the wideband modems are not taking cpe.
    I'd like to hear from you.
    thanks in advance

    Hi Diego,
    - The first time that was put online, it became as w-online and take CPE (The DHCP assigned IP addresses both, Modem and CPE)- But it did not work, so I reset the modem, and went online again, (but did not have a CPE IP address)
    I'm not following you here. In the first point you mentioned that the modem came w-online and the CPE got an IP. However, in the second point, you mentioned that it didn't work and then you reset the modem. What didn't work (I understood the problem was CPE getting IP address which, as you mentioned, was done on the first point)?
    You also said that, at some point, the modem was online but not pingable. The CPE didn't get IP that time. In that case, was the modem online or w-online? What was the primary channel for this modem? Take into account that, for wideband, the modem uses the primary channel to register and perform all Docsis operation. Any data traffic (like a ping or a DHCP request from a CPE) will use the secondary channels. If these channels have some issue you may see an issue as the one described.
    For the D2.0 modem using Mo1/0/0:16, it could be similar as above. If this channel is OK but the rest have some issues, you could see a behavior like that. The D2.0 modem will use the primary channel (only channel) also for data transfer. Since this channel is OK, the D2.0 modem don't have any issue. However, if a D3.0 modem uses Mo1/0/0:16 as primary it may come online (since the channel is OK) but, if the rest of channels have issues, then you may have problem to pass data traffic.
    Did you check if D2.0 modem can use all the channels? You may also want to check the modulation profiles being used. It could be that you are using a lower modulation profile for ranging (initial, station maintenance) and a higher one for data transfer which may be affected by some condition in the network.
    Best regards.

  • I bought a iphone 3gs from a friend and I was told to put in my sim card and connect it to the computer and it stays on the recovery screen, does anyone know the reason why this is happening?

    I dont know if its my computer because it says that the device is unknown and doesnt come up as apple mobile device but I've watched youtube videos that seemed like they had similiar problems but they didnt work for me. I've tried the whole home button thing,updating itunes and everything but the recovery screen still wouldnt go away. This is the first time I'm using an iphone so I'm totally clueless about whats happening.

    Installing a SIM card will never rectify the device being in recovery mode.
    Put the device in DFU mode and attempt to restore it as new via iTunes.  Google "DFU mode" for instructions.

  • I would like to know is why the light is yellow alert on the Xserve is blinking, I would like to know what are the reasons why do that.   Thank you very much beforehand!

    I know, because I had never turned on the light in yellow on the back and I see that has the logo warning, then I wonder what it was that or because ocaciono is giving that alert.

  • What are the reasons why Server Assistant won't detect Auto Server Setup ?

    Hi there,
    I've been having issues with Auto Server Setup mechanism (the mechanism that allows an administrator to install a machine without human user interaction). I actually have the answer to my post question but I post it anyway because it might help someone that stumbles on the same issue. Moreover, the answer raises other questions about licencing.
    I had the problem that I had created a NetInstall image that had a "/Auto Server Setup/generic.plist" file; this worked perfectly on the XServe I was testing it on : when I started the client in NetBoot mode, the client was installing without any human interaction, from the disk formatting to the login window... all this was pefectly good. Then I tried to install another machine by starting it in NetBoot mode : the machine installed the system and then waited for human interaction for the configuration step in Server Assistant, as is there was no "/Auto Server Setup/generic.plist" file....
    I finally managed to figure out what was wrong (not thanks to Apple, as I couldn't find any clue : no message from "Server Assistant", nothing useful in the logs I found just by luck in /Library/Logs/ServerAssistant.log) : my "/Auto Server Setup/generic.plist" was ignored because of the Mac OS X licence key. When I replaced the key in generic.plist with another key, it started working again. I know that the official documentation says to use site licences when using the generic.plist mechanism but at least an error message somewhere would have helped...
    So, it seems that "Server Assistant" talks to apple servers and refuses to use a licence key that is used somewhere else. These policies are perfectly fine, as long as it works and it is consistent, which I'm not convinced of :
    - first, we had success in the past in duplicating Mac OS X 10.5 system disk images (we have lots of xserves with valid licence keys but we found it easier to duplicate system disk images) on our xserves, and even if all xserves had the same osx server licence key, they worked fine (except that Server Admin doesn't like it). As a result, the licence verification policy is inconsistent as it depends on the way mac osX is installed...
    - second, I'm not sure this licence checking mechanism even works : I beleive that apple registers associations between a machine id and a licence key; then, how does apple guarantees that this association (therefore free the licence key) is removed when you format a system hard drive (there is no other way to uninstall Mac OSX, right ?) ?
    Does anyone knows how licence key registration works and more specifically how licence keys get freed for reuse on another machine ?

    Hi Stephen,
    To login, the internal server should be: https://boot.ciscojabbervideo.com/endpoint/configuration
    The external server and domain fields are blank.
    Your username only needs the prefix of your @jabber.com video address.  For example, if your video address is [email protected] then your username is "stephen."
    Unfortunately, there is only forum support for this free service.

  • TS1702 Can anyone help? For no reason, I cannot open any of my apps.  I can open everything else, just not apps.  I have turned the ipad on and off several times, this doesn't work.  Does anyone know what to do and why this has happened?

    Hello, for some strange reason I cannot open any of the apps I have.  I have tried turning the ipad on and off and this doesn't work.  I can open everything else (videos, camera, etc) just no apps.  Can anyone help please?

    If it's the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that your phone number is checked and iMessage reads as activated. Remove the checkmark from the email address and make sure that only the phone number if checked. It should appear grayed out, but should still have a checkmark. If the phone number does not have a checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a few moments and then turn iMessage back on and make sure that it activates.

    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!
