Im unable to login when i switch on the laptop? please help me out.

hello,
yesterday I installed os yosmite on MacBook pro. today im unable to login when I switch on, my laptop. please help me out as soon as.

Hi, I have a similar problem. When I try to log in all I get is a light greyish screen. absolutely nothing else, I wish now that I had not loaded Yosimite. I have tried to Safe Start - to no avail. it is very frustrating and I think apple should not use this technology until it is properly set up. However that does not solve my problem. Can anyone assist me ASAP. Thankyou John L

My original laptop is broken and will no longer switch on which is where my account was originally set up. I dont really understand icloud. i thought everything was stored there so dont understand why this is happening Can anyone help please?

What exactly is the problem that you are having ? Is it with downloading the iTunes program itself, or redownloading your purchases ?
If iTunes itself then you can download it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If it doesn't download then have you tried a different browser, and/or tried changing the settings on the browser that you are using e.g. turn off 'pop-up blocker' ?
If you've installed iTunes and want to download your past purchases, then what you can redownload depends upon what country that you are in, and whether the items are still in your country's store. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
But ideally you'd have your own backup copy of all your downloads/library (and not relying on redownloading), a song/album etc could be removed from the store at any time.
If you will be syncing your iPad and iPhone to that computer then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

My lab top,while browsing on internet site,got stucked. The cursor was not moving and I was unable to close down the laptop. Finding no alternative I just pressed and held the startup switch for a few seconds and got it closed but can,t restart. Help plse

I can not start the device after I shut it down by pressing & holding the start button. I took this measure because I was not able to force quit/shut down while on internet. The program was not responding and laptop got hot.. Any body help please....

Unable to switch back to laptop screen with xrandr from VGA

HI,
I'm using i3 window manager and have an external display plugged in sometimes. I use the following short script to turn off the laptop display and turn on the vga monitor
xrandr --output VGA1 --auto
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
xrandr --output VGA1 --auto
feh --bg-fill /home/james/wallpaper.jpg
synergyc 192.168.0.4
However I cant get back to the laptop screen turning the VGA off doing it the other way round.
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto
sleep 2
xrandr --output VGA1 --off
sleep 2
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto
sleep 2
feh --bg-fill /home/james/wallpaper.jpg
pkill synergyc
I've tried using --mode 1366x768 but that doesnt work. The only thing I can do is close the laptop lid and then resume from suspend and the screen comes back on.
Anyone know what I can do to get my laptop screen back on?
Thanks.

Try the whole thing together
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --right-of/left-of/above/below LVDS1.
If you have it plugged in, it runs both, if you unplug it only brings the one back on.

I have v6.0.2 x86 en-US installed on a laptop running Vista, and a desktop running W7. After the installation, I have been unable to attach anything from a file onto an email. If I switch to IE, it works just fine. HELP!

I disabled all of the plug-ins and anti-virus program but it still won't attach files (BMP, JPG, etc) to any email.

No problems here with uploading an attachment to Yahoo when composing a new mail.<br />

I've connected my macbook pro (os 10.6.8) to an external display, but it will not go into clam shell mode! When I close the lid the laptop goes to sleep, and I am unable to wake it using the external keyboard or mouse.

A rundown of what I've tried:
Adjusting energy settings to try to prevent sleep
Pluging the USB keyboard and wacom tablet directly into the laptop (as opposed to a usb hub)
My laptop's power cable is connected
My display (a Vizio TV) is recognized in the System Preferences panel
I'd been using this TV for about a year with my older Macbook Pro (OS 10.5.8), though using a different wireless keyboard and mouse
***Update: The issue seems to lie with the keyboard and wacom tablet. I am trying to use a wireless Case Logic keyboard (with dongal) and wired wacom tablet to wake the Macbook Pro in clamshell mode. To experiment, I tried using my Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse set (also dongal) that I had been using before and it wakes the computer without any problems! However, I really need to be able to use my wacom tablet. If I switch to the tablet after waking the computer using the Logitech keyboard & mouse it works, but once the computer sleeps it won't work anymore. I could keep switching back and forth I suppose, but it's sort of a pain. There has to be an easier way! Any ideas why the wired wacom tablet is unable to wake the computer in clamshell mode?
Thanks!

So your keyboard or mouse won't wake the Mac when you close the lid correct? Try resetting the SMC and pram
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I have a Motorola SB6141 modem that is connected to a time capsule. I am unable to connect to the internet on my laptop and playstation 3

Ive just switched to a "Motorola SURFboard eXtreme Cable Modem" which is connected to a time capsule.
I am unable to connect to my internet via. wifi on my Playstation.
I have already tried many different attempts to connect to the internet. I have tried to directly connect to the internet using an ethernet cable as well as restarting my mac laptop and playstation. I am only able to connect to the internet on my main computer.
Please help?
I tried being the most descriptive I could

I am only able to connect to the internet on my main computer.
What IP does your main computer get.. ?? Post a screenshot if you can as it helps to see the details.
When you open the airport utility on the main computer.. click on the TC what errors does it show?
They will list in the summary.
What mode is the TC in? If the setup went wrong it might be bridged when it should be in router mode..
Remember any time to change things around with cable modems you MUST shut down the modem as well.. it cannot change the MAC address of the first item easily so need to be off.. a few minutes at least.. sometimes up to 20min or longer. Make sure the TC captures the public IP on the wan interface.. which is the only way this will work with a pure modem.
The most recent TC can still have issues.. new AC version TC and AE have the Max amount of issues with SB6121 and 6141.. there seems to be some ethernet issue between them..
What model TC do you have??
You can slow the LAN port down or specify the actual speed in the Gen1-4.

New windows 8 laptop gives error 800 when tries to connect to vpn and it is unable to connect to softphone as well.

Hi,
I am trying to switch over my work computer from a windows 7 laptop to a new windows 8 laptop so far I have not been able to connect to the VPN on windows 8. The windows 7 connects without an issue and is still connected. The same for my softphone using
the same settings it connects on windows 7 but says account failed to enable on windows 8. I am only using windows defender as I uninstalled the anti virus software that came pre-installed.
Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Error 800: Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be un-reachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly for this connection.
Please temporarily disable Windows firewall and Windows defender to check if that helps.

After changing laptops, i am unable to add songs into my iPhone 4. The song appears in the library but not in the device. Help!

I have not been able to add songs into my iPhone after switching computers. The mp3 format of these current songs are in the old laptop and i am unabe to retrieve them. In the new laptop, i am unable to add songs to my device, only to the iTunes library.

Best route here is to focus initially solely on the iTunes Library. Once it has all the Songs that you want, turn off iTunes Match, sign out of iTunes Store and restart the computer from cold.
Moving to the iPhone would suggest a restore and fresh link to the library post the following steps.
1. Sign in to iTunes Store;
2. Turn on iTunes Match - allow 3-step process to run to completion;
3. Make secure backup of library;
4. Force iPhone in to restore mode - hold down 'power on/off' with 'home key' for 10 seconds
5. Attach iPhone via USB to computer and follow 'restore' instructions in iTunes
6. Once complete synchronise with library as required
At this stage all required Songs should be on the iPhone - post iPhone back-up a good point to fully enable iTunes Match on the iPhone if required.

BT Yahoo Toolbar - I am unable to get this to open, using Vista, however, have succesfully got it to show on my laptop with XP, using v3.6.8 of Firefox.

I am using Mozilla Firefox v3.6.8 with XP on my laptop and Vista on my desk top. I was asked by BT Yahoo to download the new BT Yahoo Toolbar. This I achieved on my laptop with XP, but have been unable to get the toolbar to show on my desktop using Vista. The file downloads and fails to create the toolbar.

Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
"Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

I had similar problem.
All right guys, it seems that I have finally figured it out. I did following.
pacman -S uswsusp
Add the uresume hook to the list of mkinitcpio in the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata uresume filesystems"
then rebuild the init image and reboot
mkinitcpio -p kernel26
reboot
After bootting you can use following command
pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbestate-restore
or
echo 'ADD_PARAMETERS="--quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbestate-restore"' >> /etc/pm/config.d/module
pm-suspend
Good luck!
