I got the error 4SNS/40000001:VDOR on a 2006 iMac (white), what does it mean?
Dear all,
yesterday I notice a whitish stripe (3-4 cm) in the middle of the monitor of the iMac I use at work. The machine is an old white iMac (Intel), 21 inches I think, and was purchased in 2006. Today the stripe was already there, the hardware extended test returned the error 4SNS/1/40000001:VDOR . The machine is apparently working fine. What does this error mean? How soon do I need to contact the Apple Store in my city?
Thanks a lot,
Marco
That is a voltage sensor error probably on the power section of the logic board. It should not cause a video defect.
How soon do I need to contact the Apple Store in my city?
According to the MacTracker database, that old an iMac is considered "vintage" by Apple and therefore they will no longer work on it. I had a 2007 MacBook Pro fail earlier this year and was told the same thing. You would have to seek a Mac-savvy, third-party service provider.
The stripe is likely a problem somewhere in the video hardware and those are seldom picked up by Apple Hardware Test. To see if the problem is on the logic board (not worth fixing) or confined the the display itself (maybe worth fixing), attach an external monitor (an adaptor may be required). If the stripe does NOT appear on the external monitor, its in the video cabling, the inverter, or the display itself. If the stripe shows on the external, the video hardware on the logic board is failing.
Neither is a cheap repair--probably more than the approx US$300-450 value of first-gen Intel iMacs†---and your firm may consider retiring that unit after backing up the hard drive contents.
†--estimated from values on www.everymac.com

Hello! Just wanted to ask what does it mean more exactly when the error in muti language to restart my mac appears to my desktop ?
Hello ioanaroxy,
In rare situations, your Mac may spontaneously restart, turn off, display a message "You need to restart your computer…", or become unresponsive, indicating a kernel panic has occurred.
I recommend reviewing the following article for more information about kernel panics and how to troubleshoot kernel panics.

My USBs ports are charging all devices like my iPod and my back-up external Hard Drive but the Mac does not recognise any of them.
The Hardware Test showed the following error: 4SNS/1/40000000:Th 1H-81.000.
What does this mean?
Thanks!Thanks for the prompt reply Kappy...
Does this mean I have to hand in my Mac for repair or is there a way to solve it independently?

Just added WEATHER to my apps. Got the error message, couldn't load setup panel 403. What now?
Hey Proplusjet!
Sorry to hear you are having a problem with one of the apps. Are the other apps on your printer working? If so, try removing the app and re-adding it. Otherwise it could be a problem with the app itself.
Let me know if this helps!

Question for you gods - what does it mean. is it important? my computer connects to my server works.

I tried to save a video to IPhoto, and then when I tried to open IPhoto it told me I can't open the application because classic environment is no longer supported. What does this mean, and how do I get back all my photos and fix this? thanks.
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

I've been charging my ipad most of the morning but its still saying low power...what does that mean?
iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain." -
I sent an email to a government agency and got a message back that said I was a spambot. What does that mean?
Unfortunately you have inadvertently become aware that you are in fact a non- human. You are in reality a Bot. Please report to your closest Apple store. Tomorrow everything will be ok and you will once more believe you are human. P.S. Do not send emails to goverment agencies again you silly Spambot.

In Numbers, I can see my documents but they have the top right corner turned over with a down arrow, what does that mean? I touch it and nothing happens.
I have recently done a full restore because my iPad and iPhone were mis-behaving and wouldn't work they way I expected with Windows XP and Outlook 2003 and now when I check iCloud.com, all my documents are gone, yet my iPad hints that they may still be somewhere but where are they?That is the orientation lock symbol, you can not go to landscape orientation. Tap the home button twice, swipe the task bar to the right, tap on the 'circle' icon at the left to unlock the orientation. You will then be able to view items in portrait and landscape mode.
