The both screens always worked fine but now the power book doesn't show anything on the screen.  I didn't drop it or even move it.  Where is the brightness button?  Could I have hit it by mistake?
Thanks so much for your help.
F2 is the up-brightness button, F1 is the down-brightness button, usually, on PowerBooks.  If for some reason the F1 button got held down for a couple of seconds, the display would go completely dark.
That being said, if the backlight does not come up (easily determined by seeing if the Apple outline on the cover is lit up) then the most likely suspect would be the inverter board, or the connection to the inverter board.  If this is a Titanium PG G4, the inverter board is easy and relatively inexpensive to replace.  For the Aluminum models, I don't know if that is quite so true.

  • When i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

  • Why is my Apple id working on my MacBook but not my iPad?

    Why is my Apple id working on my MacBook but not my iPad? I can log in o.k. on my MacBook, but using the same user name and password on my iPad, I just get the Incorrect Apple ID or Password message.
    on my iPad, I have used the Forgotten Apple ID or Password link and reset the password. Even after I get the successfully reset password message it still gives me the Incorrect Apple ID or Password message!
    In desperation I have restored the iPad to Factory settings. It appears to be running OS 7. something.
    My Macbook is running 10.8.5.
    But the same problme persists.
    Please help

  • Wifi signal working on my MacBook, but not on my IPhones.  Why?

    I've been having trouble with my network signal strength for the last few weeks since my service started.   My ISP is DirecTV. 
    Today, my service went down completely and after I called them, it came back about an hour later.  I now have Internet service on my MacBook, but not on any of my mobile devices, including IPhones.  They are unable to see the base station. 
    I've rebooted many times.  Occassionally, it will see my network signal, but then it drops off.  I have a Motorola SB5101 Modem.  One thing I do know from calling DirecTV so often is that the tech on the phone today did change my IP address.  Does that have anything to do with my problem? 
    My fear is that if I call them again, I will once again be without any Internet access, so I'm waiting patiently on a Thursday appointment, but if I can do anything to fix it now, I'd like to.  Thank you.

  • I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad. What should I do?

    I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad3.  How do I cure this problem?

    If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you need apps like:

  • TS1741 I can get my iTunes music on my remote app, but not the actual remote???  Can anyone help?

    I am trying to use my remote app to browse through my Apple TV, but all I can get in home sharing is iTunes ( my music). Can someone help. Thanks
    Sgarbo

    the app "remote" when accessing your music, actually gives you listings.  When you are using with Apple TV, it acts only as a good old remote control.  You control the screen, in stead of the little silver remote that came with the unit.  But there is no listings, simply a control device.

  • When I open fire fox and try to go into another web site, it tells me that it was unable to connect. I have internet connection and can get into safari because I have a macbook but also need to use firefox. Please help.

    I have a macbook laptop. When I go to open firefox it opens but when I try to get into a website such as www.yahoo or any other, a menu pops up and says it is unable to connect to the server check your internet connection or if u have fire wall check to see if it is set for firefox to connect. I have never had this problem before. All of a sudden it does not want to work and I need firefox to work.

    Hey, Buzz.
    You can download the latest version of iTunes supported on Leopard here:

  • TS3276 my password in working on my iPhone but not on my computer!!!! HELP

    can not get email on my computer even though it is working on my iPhone. Seems like someone hacked my account, whch seems unlikely , but I was required to change my password, and after 5+ attempts I fianlly got it to work and the iPhone is working, but when I go on my computer it asked for my password as it had changed... so I entered the new password as it was working on the iPhone and it keeps saying that The iCloud IMAP server "p06-imap.mail.me.com" rejected the password for user... *** is apple getting to be a Microsoft company?

    Might be a keychain issue. Here's what I'd try:
    As long as mail is working on your phone, I'd leave it alone.
    Delete the account completely from Mail.app on your mac.
    Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
    Search for and remove all keychain entries that relate to this mail account
    in the Keychain Access menu, go to Keychain First Aidenter your password, choose repair, and start.
    I don't know if a restart is needed at this point but it wouldn't hurt
    then go back to mail.app and enter your account and password.

  • I have a new iPod touch and an iPad all my videos work on the iPod, but not on the iPad.  What am I doing wrong when I syn with iTunes ?

    iPad 2 does not show videos.  I just get a black screen when I hit the video app.  The videos show as being loaded when connected to iTunes. 

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • It works on a PC, but not my mac...what is the world coming to??

    ok, so i upgraded to iWeb 08 and made my site. i finally figured out how to change all of the DNS information to get this thing up. once i published my site it loaded up like clock work on my PC i use for work. then when i tried to visit the site on my mac it didn't work ... any answers?? i bought my domain through godaddy.com if that makes a difference.

    Hi,
    Your site works fine. I had to put a www in before your url but other than that it appears okay. That is providing you haven't finished it yet and there should be several blank pages. The map works (I was born in Hereford in the UK ...spooky) and the front page works, but is in Latin.

  • When i send an imessage from my computer, when i hit send, the reciever gets it, it shows up on my phone, but not on my computer, it just disappears

    a while back i was in a group chat and was spammed with thousands, yes, thousands of texts at once. when i started up my computer, imessage attempted to load the messages. Now, when i send a message it will show up on my phone, but i cant see it on my computer, when i hit send it just vanishes. this is an improvement from months ago however, when my messages wouldnt even send. im running 10.8.5.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Messages if it’s running.
    Step 1
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.Messages
    Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
    Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in. Try Messages again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit Messages again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
    Messages
    Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
    Test. If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
    Step 3
    In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
    com.apple.iChat
    com.apple.ids
    com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
    com.apple.imessage
    com.apple.imservice
    Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
    Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
    Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post again.
    If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

  • My WD External Hard drive can be read and edited on my old macbook but not on my new

    My WD 1TB hard rive can be read, edited and have files saved on it from my OLD Macbook Pro. I have recently got a NEW laptop and it can read the files on my hard drive but it cannot edit any of the files, change folders or move files in to different folders. The operating systems are the same on both laptops. I have tried this with other MacBooks and iMacs and there is the same issue.
    My old laptop also very resently has stopped being able see my external hard drive at all now. I am not sure if my external hard drive is locked to my old laptop or if my new and other macs have a setting which stops them editing this external hard drive.
    Thanks
