I disconnected my MAC when going on vacation when I went to power it up I got the tone but then a grey screen followed by 3 loud beeps has anyone ever had this happen?

I disconnected my IMac (Intel) when I was away when I reconnected it after the powering up tone I had a grey screen followed by 3 loud beeps and the beeps continued. Has anyone had this happen to them? I have tried to reboot in "safe mode" by holding "shift" key down after tone but that did not work. Any other suggestions?

Yes. This Apple document describes how to access the RAM on the various models of iMac: iMac: How to remove or install memory
First step would be to remove and reset firmly the RAM modules and give it another try. If that fails, remove the new RAM modules and replace with the original Apple modules that came with the Mac.
The more reliable sources for Mac RAM modules are Crucial.com and otherworldcompution.com. Both are very reliable and will guarantee your satisfaction.
Check to see where your son got the modules. Also check the modules carefully to make sure they match the specifications for your iMac exactly.

If I create a contact from my call register it does not show up in the contacts on my i phone but does show up in my i cloud contacts. Has anyone else had this happen?

If I create a contact from my call register it does not show up in my contacts on my Iphone but does show up in my icloud. Has anyone else had this happen?

Are you sure iCloud is turned on and that contacts is also turned on (Settings>iCloud) on the iPhone? Be sure the iPhone is not set to Airplane Mode.

I have the late 2013 Macbook Pro 15 inch with apple care, and the display flickers in a certain spot at a certain brightness. Has anyone ever had this issue, and what did you do about it?

I doubt this is a GPU issue i've restarted my Mac, but the shape of the flickering area is in a cone shape comming from the bottom edge from the right side in about 2 inches. I'm thinking this is a failing display?

Apple will cover it if it was an accident or defect. Take it to a nearby Genius bar. I'm guessing its a graphics card or display issue. But the symptoms of a damaged GPU for me were different. I had issues with my last 13" MacBook Pro non-retina mid 2012. If I set it down or moved my machine, my screen would flicker and the pixels would be completely off and the whole system would freeze, even if I wasn't using it. If it fronze when I didn't use it, it would get REALLY hot. Like I said, if it's an accident and less than a year old, Apple will cover repairs. If it's older than a year and it was accidental, AppleCare won't cover it. If it was a defect, it will be covered as long as the AppleCare hasn't expired. If you buy a MacBook through BestBuy, you could buy BestBuy Care which covers accidental and defects. My friend fried his last machine with water and apple was going to charge him the price of a new machine and BestBuy charged about $900 and then he paid extra to upgrade to a new retina display.

It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
Which is exactly what eelw wrote.

Since converting my mobileme account into an icloud account, my free 5GB of storage has become a paid for extra 20GB without my requesting it. How can this happen, and has anyone else had this happen to them?

To clarify: you are not being charged for the extra storage - it's complimentary to reflect the fact that you had storage in MobileMe. At the end of June it will disappear unless you care to pay to renew it.

Bought daughter new 8gb ipod touch but it only takes 900 of her 1400 songs. Has anyone else had this problem?

Bought daugher the 8gb ipod touch to replace her nano but it only takes 900 of her 1400 songs. Has anyone else had this problem? I was told that it would hold 2000+ songs. She had no photos or videos on it, just uses it for music. Can anyone advise. Thanks

The person who told you it would hold 2000+ songs was stretching the truth. This might be true with 128kbps MP3 files. Not true with 256kbps AAC files (like from the iTunes store).
128kbps MP3s are around 2 to 4MB each. 2000 x 3MB = 6GB.
256kbps AAC files are often 5 to 10MB each
The average size of your daughter's music files is 6.5GB/900 = 7.2MB
1400 songs at 7.2MB = 14GB
Many of us have the problem of not being able to sync our entire music collections. In that you are not alone. The answer about converting to 128kbps AAC is a possible solution. It sacrifices sound quality for size, though. My solution is to sync what I usually want to listen to. I have many songs that I rarely listen to; the result of ripping complete CDs, including all the "filler" songs.

Just got iphone 5s today but fingerprint wont complete just keeps saying try again. Has anyone else had this trouble?

Just got iphone 5s today but fingerprint wont complete just keeps saying try again - has anyone else had this problem?

Hey Lewis1306,
Thanks for the question, and congrats on the new iPhone 5s!
I understand you are experiencing issues with Touch ID. The following article provides some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful:
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
Resolving issues with Touch ID
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iOS.
2. Ensure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
3. If you are using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
4. Tap Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID and verify that:
- iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is enabled.
- One or more fingerprints have been enrolled.
5. If one finger isn't working, tap Edit in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID > Edit to delete and then reenroll the finger.
6. If that finger still isn't working, try enrolling a different finger.
7. If you are unable to enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
* Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin may affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Has anyone ever seen this happen to a macbook pro screen before?

I'm going to try and include a pic of this . Suddenly, It seems like the bulb that lights the apple logo on the top of the case has burned through the lcd display, resulting in what looks like a freshly lit kitchen match right in the middle of my screen. This macbook is only 4 months old and will be going back to apple for a screen replacement. The apple tech guy that I spoke with on the phone said that there are no previous records of this occuring before. /Users/john/Pictures/IMG1101.JPG/Users/john/Pictures/IMG1102.JPG

OK... I uploaded photos to photobucket. See if this works

TS1398 I cannot access iBooks on my ipad. Has anyone ever had this problem ? If so what is the solution ?

I cannot access iBooks on my ipad 2. When I tap the icon and it opens all I receive is a blank white screen. If I delete the iBooks app and reload it on my ipad, will I loose all my books,pdf's and manuals ?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

My iCloud email seems to link to both my account and someone else's. Has anyone else had this?

I wanted to start using my icloud email but when i opened it I had the email from apple saying @icloud was reserved for me and another email which from what I can see was sent to someone elses email account ending in @me.com.
Drove myself mad with the apple support pages as they dont just let you submit an issues unless its one thats covered in the support forms so I have to post it here instead. Has anyone else had this happen?
It could be that I have been bcc'd into the email but its not a source I know and I can only see a "to" address and no evidence that I have been cc'd or bcc'd.
Please Help Apple

When you are Bccd there is never any access to the Bcc list - that's the point of it (so that for example you can run a mailing list without everyone seeing everyone else's addresses) - so you won't see anthing of this sort other than your address showing up in the long header (command-shift-H to view), e.g.:

When I miss a call or it goes to voicemail, it may take up to 10 minutes before I can use my phone for anything. I have tried resetting it-has anyone else experienced this and fixed it?

When I recieve a voicemail, or a missed call, it takes up to 5 minutes to be able to use my phone or check the voicemail. I have tried turning it off and resetting it, has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it?

I am going through the process of unlocking my iphone 4 and have had all the go aheads from my service provider but i am still having problems when i plug the phone into itunes. Has anyone else had this problem??

Umm, what problem? What actually happens when you try to restore it in iTunes?

I'd like to know if anyone's had this happen...

recently had a whack of sites open in Safari. Yeah, trying to download the 'entire **** content' of the internet (if you where wondering). But the crazy thing was that my MBP completely stopped. Shut down, no lights, not even on the charger... whacky strange. Power button was unresponsive. The MBP was basically DOA. Freaked out and left a message for my vendor, re. absolute breakdown of this heretofore behemoth. In the meantime, in my panic, removed and re-inserted (yeah, funny giggles here) the battery, and everything restarted and did it's thing. MBP back to life, no errors, no permissions problems, et. al. BUT, big question here.... has anyone ever had their computer completely stop, with no signs of life, and did you figure out why, or how? And don't Digg this, I may want a girlfriend someday...

Hi jczubach;
My MBP did the old shutdown trick after I had it for a bit over one week. This was happening about every couple of hours. I took it into the Apple store and they checked it out. Of course it would not do it for them but they diligently rummaged through the log file and told me I would have to leave it overnight. The next day when I came back they told me that they replaced the motherboard. Hasn't done it since.
