I can't get the screws out of the bottom case, which I need to do to access the memory modules.  Can I 'force' it open??

Can anyone help?

Are you having trouble with the screws because you don't have the right screwdriver, or because you do have the right screwdriver but they're too tight to turn? Or another problem? Trying to understand exactly what the problem with the screws is.
I've taken the bottom off and it was pretty easy, with the correct size screwdriver.
You could force open the bottom, but you'd guarantee that you'd never get it back on, and that would be a bad way to use a laptop.

    If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. 
    Good luck.

  • When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
    In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
    If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
    Hide
    Set up automatic iCloud uploading
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
    Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
    Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
    Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
    In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
    Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
    To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

  • Can't get the nvidia module to work.

    Hi,
    I just moved a machine from debian to archlinux due to the newer packages. Anyways, since yesterday I have been trying to get the nvidia module to work but haven't had no luck. Basically I get a black screen once I run startx and afterwards I can't switch back to any of the consoles. The system doesn't hang because I can SSH into it from another machine and do whatever. Killing all the x-related processes doesn't recover the screen, only restarting the computer gets the ttys back.
    I have tried several different nvidia module versions include 1.0-7664, 1.0-7174 and 1.0-6229. I have also the stock 2.6.11.10 kernel and a custom compiled 2.6.11.11 kernel. If that wasn't enough I have tried the xorg generated xorg.conf file and the hwd generated xorg.conf file. Below is what I am running.
    xorg 11R6.8.2-2
    eVGA nVidia GeForce FX5200 (The LCD is connected through the regular VGA port)
    xorg.conf: http://68.190.122.245:9696/temp/xorg.conf
    Xorg.0.log: http://68.190.122.245:9696/temp/Xorg.0.log
    nvidia-installer.log: http://68.190.122.245:9696/temp/nvidia-installer.log
    `hwd -s` output: http://68.190.122.245:9696/temp/hwd_s.txt
    Any help is really appreciated! 

    Nice to see logs and confs posted
    just to be sure we are singing from the same hymnbook, have you:
    -- followed the wiki info  as your logs show the DRI section still intact (bottom of xorg.conf)
    and from wiki,
    -- installed nvidia via pacman, with X server shut down. and then modified xorg.conf accordingly.
    # Auto-generated by Archie mkxcfg
    ? Archie ?
    -- following the kernel upgrade did you then run pacman -S nvidia, as above,  to incorporate it with the new kernel ?
    other tidbits
    maybe try backing up xorg.conf first and then removing redundant lines #'s etc to make your config file more readable, and 1, 4, 15 bit resolution entries too.
    The last time i had the blackscreen was in Fedora, it was mentioned that a kernel patch by fedora, was fouling the nvidia drivers. So i blamed fedora, chipsets, patches, drivers, witchcraft etc. Swapped to arch , followed the WIKI destructions and all worked ok. so im sure it can be solved here too.
    FWIW my xorg.conf can be found here  if you want something to refer to. in the interests of jurisprudence, copy/modify at your own risk.  i cant/wont pay for fried monitors
    incidentally nv in the Section did work for me instead of nvidia but was no real solution as i wanted to use GL and it wouldnt work with it, just runs a generic vga driver and not the nvidia one.
    persevere dude, and good luck.

  • I downloaded microsoft office to my MBP and my question is how do i get the right file or operating system to open it and so that i can use it?

    i downloaded microsoft office to my MBP and my question is how do i get the right file or operating system to open it and so that i can use it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    There are two Office versions: Office for Windows, and Office for Mac.
    I suspect that you have downloaded Office for Windows, and you can use it if you install Windows, but a cheaper and easiest way to use Office is to use Office for Mac, so you won't have to install Windows. See > http://www.microsoft.com/mac

  • How can we get the artset from a .ai file without opening it?

    Hello All,
    I have one .ai file, lets say sample.ai file. located in C drive. so the complete file path is "C:\Sample.ai".
    and lets assume the sample.ai file has one traingle shape(3 path type arts) in it.
    Now I want to get the 3 path arts (artset)  from sample.ai file without opening it in AI.
    The function protoype is like below
    AIArtSet& artSet GetArtSetFromAFile( ai::FilePath& filePath );
    Is there any API like above function in AI? or is it possible to get the art(s) from a file without opening it in AI?

    Not to my knowlege. The API only operates on active documents as far as I know.

  • I get the following message whenever I try to open FireFox

    "microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working"
    Hi there.
    Out of nothing I get the following message whenever I try to open FireFox :
    "'''microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working'''"
    Internet Explorer won't open either, but it doesn't give a pop-up or anything, it just pretends I didn't open it.
    The only way I can open a browser now is by running it as 'administrator'
    I've taken the following steps, none of which have had any effect
    - tried the DEP on trick in windows system
    - Fully updated win 7
    - Re-installed Firefox
    - reboot, reboot, reboot
    - searched online for solutions
    but..... :(

    ooh my G#D !!! Norton is Best ! thank all you guys ! ;) im install norton anti virus and my fire fox is workin after scan!!! :))) huuuuurrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap

    I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap. I am trying to export 33 PSD files in BRIDGE to a PDF like I used to do on my other computer with bridge.

    Let's start with the general things.
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How to get the memory address of an array (pointer in C)?

    I am writing an application that exchanges data with a PXI device via DMA.  Basically I will provide it a memory address and a direction, and it transfers the data.  I would like to give it the memory location of an array in LabVIEW, but I do not know how to get the memory location without doing a DLL call to C code that returns the pointer.  Is there an easy way to do this in LabVIEW?  Any help is much appreciated.

    A similar question was asked recently regarding strings. You cannot pass pointers in LabVIEW as you do in C. You can pass an array to a DLL, but that means you would need to write a wrapper DLL. Be sure to read the section in the LabVIEW Help on calling code from text-based languages and also take a look at the "Call DLL" example that ships with LabVIEW  - it contains many examples of how to deal with various datatypes.

  • Hi! Trying to save my document as a pdf, get the message that "this pdf is already open somewhere and cannot be saved". Whats wrong??

    Hi! When trying to save my document as a pdf, I get the message that "this pdf is already open somewhere and cannot be saved". I have not yet succeeded in saving it, and I've closed all preview windows of it, so it simply can't be open anywhere. Whats wrong??

    Correction on Question:
    This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
    Users began getting the error message:
    'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
    last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject. 
    We really need help getting this resolved.
