I have a broken Sony Vaio VPCS111FM Screen

My little brother stepped on my laptop and made a huge pixilated crack. I was wondering if Best Buy can help me fix it, currently I'm just not sure of what to do next. Do I have to buy and repair the screen myself or does best buy do that for me?

Looks like lil bro might need to get roughed up
My big bro would have handled me if I done that, but I was also extra careful around his stuff for that reason alone.

Sony vaio blue screen

so i just got a sony vaio after best buy junked out my old laptop which was shipped out 2 times for repair for a total of 8 weeks. I'm a college student, and this happened right before finals. now, my new vaio is getting the blue screen at least 2 times a day, and I have midterms next week. I called best buy and they said that they have to ship it out again for 6 weeks. By that time its goin to be the end of the semester again. Are there any other options for a quicker fix on the laptop?

If you can post the error message(if you can catch it) one of us can look it up and give you an idea as to what's causing it, and possibly if there's a fix.
Does it do it right at startup, or after it's been on for a while?

I HAVENT MADE ANY RECENT CHANGES TO MY MUSIC- NO DOWNLOADS /UPLOADS. ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS SITUATION? THANKS!!

Hey Ishland,
You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.
Cheers,
Steve

How do i download my itunes to my new sony vaio. My original laptop no longer works so am unable to switch it on which is where my original itunes account was setup. i have downloaded my itunes to my iphone and ipad with no problem

Why wont me itunes downlaod to my new sony vaio?
i follow all of the steps and have managed to get my itunes onto my ipad and iphone but for some reason nothing appears on the vaio. My original laptop is broken and will no longer switch on which is where my account was originally set up. I dont really understand icloud. i thought everything was stored there so dont understand why this is happening Can anyone help please?

What exactly is the problem that you are having ? Is it with downloading the iTunes program itself, or redownloading your purchases ?
If iTunes itself then you can download it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If it doesn't download then have you tried a different browser, and/or tried changing the settings on the browser that you are using e.g. turn off 'pop-up blocker' ?
If you've installed iTunes and want to download your past purchases, then what you can redownload depends upon what country that you are in, and whether the items are still in your country's store. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
But ideally you'd have your own backup copy of all your downloads/library (and not relying on redownloading), a song/album etc could be removed from the store at any time.
If you will be syncing your iPad and iPhone to that computer then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Problems with Illustrator CC 2014 in Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen.

Hello to everybody!
Some times ago Adobe has updated Illustrator to CC 2014 version and now it support touch pressure\pan\zoom in Windows 8 tablets. I have Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen with pressure-sensitive support.
I was extremely disappointed that the brush in new version does not work correctly. Watch the video please that I did specifically for the demonstration.
I use Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 for comparison. In the old version the brush is works correctly. You must do a lot of clicks to start the brush in CC 2014 version (please see video). What causes of the problem? Please help me!

Sony Vaio Pro 13.3 Touch: Touch screen not working

Hi, The touch screen for my Sony Vaio Pro 13 Touch suddenly stopped working two days ago and I have no idea how to fix it. I didn't install anything new before it stopped working, and I tried to install all the new drivers on the VAIO update but it still didn't work. I thought it might be because of Windows so I updated to Windows 8.1 today and it still does not work. On the PC info it even says" Pen abd touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display". but this laptop is supposed to have touch capability and it has been working up until now. Please help! My model number is SVP13215CDB. Do I need to install or update my driver?

Hi FlyingTortoise,
Was there any changes prior to touch screen not working? Like installing software or hardware? If not, then try using windows system restore to restore back to a date that you know when it was working. If that still does not resolve issue. Then we may have to put the unit back to factory condition to eliminate software related before servicing the unit for hardware.

Please reply my outer touch screen have been broken

My outer touch screen have been broken last night its still have a one year warranty ! Can I return it to apple store and fix it for me or will they give me a new device ? How much does cost if I need to pay money ?!

Probably not as user damage is not covered. Apple considers almost all screen breakage as user caused and thus is not covered by warranty. If you have Applecare+ you can get the device replaced much cheaper than the normal replacement cost. Apple would replace the device at your cost as Apple does not currently replace 5s screens.

What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

One thing to bear in mind, if your iPad is still under any sort of warranty, using any unauthorized repair place may void that.
So you may find less expensive places that are non-authorized, but once you use them, Apple disowns your device and if you have any warranty left, it'll be void.

Have a broken screen, can I hook up external

Hi guys, I have a broken screen, is there anywhere if I hooked it up with a external screen. Like I tried hooking it up to my tv but basically the tv was a seperate screen in itself and wasn't apple to see the login propt screen. My screen is so bad I can't see hardly anything, just lines ands tuff, any hope here to still use it with a external. Also is it possible to put another computer of the drive of the powerbook. Thanks
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
If you are talking about an iMac, I don't really know much about them. On my PowerBook the F7 key is the mirror key for monitors. You might try that to see if the TV reflects your desktop.
If I understand the last question on your post, you can hook your computer up to another computer with a firewire cable then start yours up while holding down the T key to put it into Target Disk Mode. Your hard drive icon to show up on the other computer.
