I am working on a Veterans Day program for school and I shut down the computer and now I can't get the desktop to load.  It is all a white screen.  What do I need to do, and can I get my video back?

I am having difficulty getting back on my computer.  I have to have the Veterans Day Program done by next Monday, and it will not boot back up.  All I get is a white screen.  If I push Options and F4 I can get system preferences, but that doesn't seem to do any good.  It was telling me before I shut it down that my Start up menu was full?  What does that mean, and would that be my problem, and how would I fix it?  I would appreciate all the help I can get, I haven't saved anything yet that I was creating.  I have videos of the student singing that I will not be able to do over again.  Please Help!!!
Thank you!

  • How can I log in to my computer?  I changed language on keyboard and I shut down my computer.Now keyboard has no numbers,  which I need for my pc password

    Yesterday I was working on my computer and I changed English to Lithuanian language on the keyboard. I shut down my computer. Now when I want open it, I can't type correct password to access my account . There is left Lithuanian language on keybord, with has no numbers. And I need numbers to use for my password.

    It does have numbers of course, they are made by first hitting the ` key (top most left most on a US keyboard) and then the usual number key.  Have you tried that?   Such combos often don't work in password fields, but you never know.

    Thank you for your reply BDAqua.
    Yes I ran short and the Extended Test. All pass. One of the first things I did is Safe Boot several times I also repaired permissions. Safe boot takes no longer than before the crashes and as long as I stay in safe boot mode it won't crash. What does that mean?I also ran MacJanitor and removed the SCCUZI card Apple put in when I bought the G4 as well as an M-Audio Delta 66 card which I do not use (both) anymore. I also started up on an external firewire drive 10.4.6. It also (crashes) does the same thing.
    I was hoping somebody understands the crash report I enclosed? Isn't that suppose to say what went wrong?
    Thank you again for your input BDAqua

  • Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer.  now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810.  Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store.  Suggestions?

    I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000.  There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site.  It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
    I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

  • I updated my itunes for my ipad while connected to my computer.  now my ipad shows only the itunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  it is frozen and nothing works, HELP!

    I updated my itunes for my Ipad while connected to my computer.  Now my ipad is frozen on an iTunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  Nothing seems to fix it.  What can I do.  All my business calander, etc is stored on my Ipad.  HELP!

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.

  • HT3986 i can only acess the internet on mac but when i switch over to windows 7 it does not read my wifi what will i need so that i can use internet on both?

    what is the answer to this?

    Well, the answer was to read the Boot Camp Documentation, but as you have passed that phase.
    Reboot into OSX, run Boot Camp and download the Windows Support Software: Reboot to Windows and install them.

    Hi InternetHogger,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that situations where you cannot boot your iPad and cannot charge your iPad can be very frustrating. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article as a reference for troubleshooting.

  • My Songs in my Ipod Touch 4 is not appearing when I tried to Play it but when i insert to my PC and use Itunes, songs,playlist appears in I tunes.What do I need to do?Can someone help me?Many thanks

    My Songs in my Ipod Touch 4 is not appearing when I tried to Play it but when i insert to my PC and use Itunes, songs,playlist appears in I tunes.What do I need to do?Can someone help me?Many thanks

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Have an IMac 7.1, desktop system 10.4.11, 2.8 GHz, 4MB, 4GB.  what can I upgrade to?  What do I need to buy and how high can I go?

    Have an IMac 7.1, desktop system 10.4.11, 2.8 GHz, 4MB, 4GB.  what can I upgrade to?  What do I need to buy and how high can I go?

    You can replace one of the 2 GB RAM sticks with a 4 GB stick for a total max. RAM of 6 GBs.
    Here are the specs.
    Maximum Memory
    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    Purchase reliable Mac RAM from online vendors Crucial or OWC (Other World Computing).
    The highest OS X version you can go is OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    First, though, you need to purchase a retail disc version of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in order to download upgrade to OS X 10.8.
    Purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Use Software update, in OS X Preferences Pane to update to the latest version of OS X 10,6 Snow Leopard before upgrading OS to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    OS X 10,6.8 will install the Mac App Store icon in OS X's Application Dock.
    From there, you can launch the Mac App Store and download and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    Use Sofware Update again to update to the latest version of Mountain Lion.
    Be advised, you may want to play around in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard before updating to OS X 10.8 Mt. Lion.
    Some users aren't happy with the Hybrid OS X/iOS functionality of OS X 10.8 Mounatin Lion.
    If you upgrade to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and aren't happy with it, the only way to return to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is wipe the internal drive, reformat it, then reinstall OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    You might want to consider purchasing an external FireWire hard drive, format it so you can install OS X 10,6 Snow Leopard and all of its updates onto the internal drive, use a copying/cloning app like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to make a duplicate of your internal drive to the external FireWire drive as a backup that you can reinstall onto your internal drive just in case you find you are not happy with the look and functionality of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    Good Luck!

    thanks

    You can select 5 (or more images) and place them by dragging in Adobe InDesign. After creating document go to File > Place, navigate to images and select them. In InDesign start dragging and press right arrow key couple of times then release mouse button. You can export file as PDF, JPG, PNG image from File > Export.

    recently had my settings reset and now I can't get my emails or texts unless I'm at home.  What do I need to do?

    I'm going to assume the reason your able to get them at home is because your connected to wifi?
    Can you do anything else when connected to cellular data?
    Have you contacted your cell phone provider re: the issue.

  • Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

    Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

    This is what worked:
    "In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
    At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
    It fixed my problem.

    MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Intel core i5 2.3GHz 

    Well, after some thought, I did a 'safe boot', did a disk verify and repair in Disk Utility, repaired permissions in DU and had the same problem I'd mentioned in post.
    SO, I went back in (safe boot.........that is, hold down start button, then 'shift') and went to applications and removed or uninstalled any apps that I thought might be interferring with the re-boot or, specifically, with my being unable to sign in with my p/w.........(at the first key stroke, it would crash and give the 'error' message)....I had both Webroot and Dashlane installed that I thought could interfere with password recognition (Webroot protects from viruses, et all and Dashlane is a password codifying appl.) I took out whatever else I thought might not be friendly and, guess what ?? When I signed out of 'safe' mode, and rebooted normally, it worked.........and has been working properly for 3-4 hrs now, so guess it's good-to-go..........seems like it...........hope this helps anyone with the same problem I'd had...........no need to visit "genius bar" some 55 miles from here............guess us mid-seventies guys ain't too old for learnin'...........G'Day, Mates !!
