I cant start up my iBook
IT was working properly but then after a day i tried to turn it on, it takes for ages to show the 3 by 4 screen with MAC Os X and a blue strip with prompts changing as it grows, my point is that it stops at "login window starting" and stays there. HOW CAN I GET IT TO WORK?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
You might give this a try:
You will need to type some Unix commands. If you are not comfortable with this, I don't know of anything other than a re-install. But if you are careful, you should be OK. I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones). Note that case is important.
Be careful. Some of these commands are dangerous, since you are going to be root.
Start up in Single-User mode by holding down the command (Apple) key and the 's' key while you press the power switch. You can let go the keys when you see white text on a black background. When this has finished you will see a prompt ending in '#', although there may be other messages. Type
/sbin/fsck -fy
followed by a return, at the prompt and wait a few seconds for 8-10 lines of output. If the last line says repairs were carried out, repeat this command until you get a message 'The volume <yourdiskname> appears to be OK'. Then continue with
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /Library/Preferences
rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
cd /Library/Caches
rm -r *
cd /System/Library
rm Extensions.kextcache
cd /System/Library/Caches
rm -r *
reboot
This should now take you to a proper login screen after the normal boot sequence. You should then Repair Permissions by using Disk Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder).
If you get error messages saying files do not exist, note them carefully and just type reboot. Post back to say how far you got and what messages were output.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).
Thanks,Try here:

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I cannot load the latest version of Itunes on my Toshiba PC with Windows 7 Home Premium. Tried to re-install. Dead in the water. Windows error 126. Cant start becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from my computer
You may have to follow the slightly more detailed steps in whichever of these two applies to you.

Rebooting into safe mode may be needed to delete any folder the instructions say you should remove. You may also find this Microsoft Fixit helps to remove stubborn components. It has taken some people several attempts to completely clean iTunes and supporting software before they have been able to successfully reinstall it.

trying to install the newest version of itunes on my pc and am getting "program cant start because msvcr80.dll is missing from your computer" reinstalling doesnt work. and then it says error 7 (windows error 126). Any help would be appreciated. Using Windows 7 enterprise on an hp Z600
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that your computer did an auto update to Windows 8.1 during the evening and you saw a prompt to restart your computer in the morning. You restarted the computer, but received the error "BOOT DEVICE NOT FOUND" PLEASE INSTALL AN OPERATING SYSTEM ON YOUR HARD DISK>HARD DISK (3FO).
You stated you ran the diagnostics but no problems were found.

Here are links to help with an HP recovery if necessary. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8).
During the recovery process, you will receive a prompt to backup your personal files. If you have not done a backup yet, I suggest you do one now to prevent data loss. Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8).

I cant start Itunes..
I cant start Itunes..."Error 7 (windows error 14001)"
What I have to do?Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:

S.M.A.R.T error i cant start my Macbook Air
i cant start my Macbook Air
Backup all of your files immediately if not sooner!
Your hard drive is failing.
You can either have the failing drive replaced ( if older Mac and no extended AppleCare, this won't be too expensive to replace) or purchase an external hard drive.
You need, at least one external hard drive to both partition for a data backup drive and to install and boot/run OS X Mavericks simultaneously.
If you have an older iMac that has FireWire 800 connection on the back, purchase an external FW800 so that your iMac can run OS X Mavericks from that drive as fast as it can.
If your iMac is even older and only has FireWire 400 most newer FW drives can run at the slower FW speed.
This is still faster than a USB 2.0 style external hard drive.
Purchase Mac compatible external hard drives from here.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
You may, at some point, consider purchasing a second external hard drive for using just as a data backup drive.
Good Luck!, -
Upgraded libx*** and now i cant start firefox [Solved]
Well i did a pacman -Syu , noticed lots of x libs upgrading and then rebooted , now i cant start firefox , this is the terminal output
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 1033 error_code 1 request_code 154 minor_code 2)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Any ideas how to fix this ??Same problem here for every applications... Posted a thread here too http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=21050, didn't see yours.

Check out the Wi-Fi troubleshooting article, if that does not resolve the issue then restore the iPad and test it.
