I dropped my mac book pro and the screen has now got a black rectangle and pink and green lines down it. What is it and how do i fix it?
Sounds like the display got damaged. Connect an external display and see if that's OK. If that's OK then the display is probably damaged. You can try reseating the LVDS connector but if that doesn't help the connections on the display body are very difficult to get to. Apple would just replace the entire display and that's what I would do as well.

I was using my iPhone 5 and the screen now has black
I was using my iPhone 5 and my screen now has black and white lines on it. I'm unable to do anything on it. Any suggestions please?
Sounds like you'll have to take it in to the Apple store for service. This happened to my wife's iPhone and they just replaced it.

I looked at all of the options available to me and did not see where there is a link or anything saying "always on top." Is there such a thing somewhere and if so, where?
Well hells bells - I went to watch TV and came back and all is good. Is it magic? :) (Some days I just plain don't understand anything - I swear!)

I installed Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium on my Mac Book Pro a few years ago but have repeatedly encountered problems with the programs freezing or not opening properly. It's a Student and Teacher Licensing version so an academic ID is required but I am no longer a student--can I still reinstall it since my academic ID may no longer be valid?
Erin Elzo as long as the serial number has been registered under your account at http://www.adobe.com/ then you should be able to continue to utilize the software. You can find details on how to locate your registered serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

I am trying to install a program on my Mac Book Pro Retina from a Apple SuperDrive. Every time I run the installer, it says I do not have enough memory to install. However, I definitely have enough memory (186.74 GB). The program takes only 550 MB. Any ideas why?
Thanks for the clarification on the terms. I consider myself proficent at my computer, but not exactly in its inner-workings! I have 8 GB of memory installed.
I am still confused as to why I do not have any space for the program. This is the exact error message I get: "There is not enough free space on Macintosh HD disk. The Print Shop 2 application requires about 550 MB to be installed. Free some disk space and try again."
Thank you again for your help. -
itunes is saying that 11.0.5 is the most current version on my mac book pro even though 11.1 has been released. what gives?
Hey Blake Placid,
Thanks for the question. If you have not already done so, I would download and install iTunes directly from the following link:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Thanks,

Hello, I have an Apple TV, and a Mac Book Pro X Lion 10.7.5 bought it on March 2012. But there is no AirPlay how is it possible? Where do i get it?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button. -

Flashing question mark on mac book pro,with grey screen when turned on?
flashing question mark on mac book pro,with grey screen when turned on?
Press the power button down to force a emergency hardware shutdown and hold the option/alt key down and reboot
If you see your OS X boot partition, then click it and the arrow, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and reset it. Done.
Folder with question mark issue
If that doesn't it, then do a #2 PRAM reset and try the above again.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If no OS X boot volume appears in Startup Manager, then OS X is corrupted.
Try more of the Steps above (like 1-8) then if that doesn't work.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Once you got your data off, erase and reinstall OS X onto the MacintoshHD partition and then restore from TimeMachine or bootable clone if you have it. or build new and return users files from the data recovery drive.
Most commonly used backup methods
If the drive doesn't appear in Disk Utility it might be dead or there are further complications let us know for further assistance.
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?
I fixed it!!
While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new. -
Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?
One more thing to try. Double click on the home button. Scroll in that bottom line of icons (swipe finger to left) to the app that are all white. Hold your finger on the app until the - sign appears. Tap it to close the app. Hopefully it will then show up correctly. (As they say about chicken soup curing a cold, "can't hurt")

im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?
Have you worked through the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article? If not, see if there is info in there that might help.
Is the WiFi greyed out on all WiFi networks or just the one? If it does this on all then there may be a hardwaer problem that needs attention from the techs at an Apple store genius bar.
Before that, however, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears. That clears a lot of iOS hang ups that occur. -
