Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

My photos will not keep the filter on when I enlarge them. When I show the thumbnails of them in the photos app, I can see the filters, but I can't when I enlarge them. (I have iOS 7). How can I fix this?

When I open the Photos app, and I see all the thumbnails of the photos I have taken, I see the filters on the photos that should have filters. For some reason, when I enlarge a photo with a filter to full screen, the filter is removed. But when I go back to the thumbnails, the filter is restored. How can I fix this?

I suggest either learning to use the iPhone or going back to a $15 phone if these are the most important features of a phone to you. Start here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/

Qosmio G30: blue vertical lines and blue screen crash dump

I have a Qosmio G30, Model No. PQG32C-AV605E with BIOS Version 3.40.
I want to update to 3.90 but I cannot enter Windows.
How do I update BIOS with no Windows available?
Is there a DOS utility?
If so, please send it and I will download it or send me an email on where to download.
The G30 I have has blue vertical lines across the screen when the machine starts up in VGA mode upon entering Windows for the first time.
But the machine can't enter windows, it crashes and dumps and restarts before that.
I replaced the RAM with new RAM but it had no effect.
I ran the diagnostics utility and the hard drives are OPTIMAL in RAID 1 so no errors there.
The reinstall of Windows went smoothly: I just can't get into VGA mode without lines.
I was told by Toshiba tech support that a BIOS upgrade would fix it.
Thanks for any helps.

I made best experience with Toshiba support. The ASP guys were always helpful
I can understand that you are upset but this is cannot be a explanation for you last replay
Fact is that you can update the BIOS ONLY running windows OS because you can download ONLY win-based BIOS!
If you are not able to do this (no matter why) then you will need to get in contact with local ASP (service provider) in your country who could update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version.
But in my personal opinion the vertical lines are not related to any BIOS issue and I think a BIOS update would not help you in my opinion its more hardware issue as an software issue.
Therefore you should get in contact with an local ASP in order to discover what's part is affected.
Good luck

10 Dark Vertical Lines

There are ten dark lines on my screen. They just appeared this afternoon when I put on my macbook pro. I already used it once in the morning and it was fine. Between uses it was sitting on the table. They are very dark near the bottom and then fade as they go up. The lines are very uniform, spaced evenly apart and are the same width. I didn't put anything on top of it (I know it can screw up the screen, so I avoid it) and when it travels, I make sure it's well protected.

I have seen this problem (ten dark vertical lines) on my MacBook Pro on several occasions after waking from sleep by opening the lid. I have found that closing the lid, then reopening, seems to clear the fault. I suspect the problem is related to the LED backlighting (this model has LED backlights, rather than cold-cathode fluorescent light used in earlier models). My guess is that the LED backlight controller sometimes gets into a 'funny' state at startup, with every second (or third?) column turned off. This may (or may not) be related to the other display fault I've observed on my MBP: sometimes opening the lid gives a completely black screen. When this happens, closing then reopening the lid does not work-- I have to hold down the Power button to force a power down (very annoying).

10 dark vertical lines at base of display

All of a sudden, my early 2008 MBP has 10 dark vertical lines at the base of the display that gradually disappear by the middle of the display. No matter how many times I close and open the lid, or restart the machine, the lines do not disappear. There was a string from 2008 on this same problem, but it seems it was resolved for the users by closing the lid. No such luck for me. Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do? It might be a coincidence, but it occurred after I downloaded the last Maverick security update.
MBP early 2008; OS 10.9.4; 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo; 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM; Nividia GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB; 250 GB SATA HHD

If you have access to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store, your appointment for an evaluation is FREE, (in warranty or out) and there is no obligation to have them perform any work for a fee.
They can advise you what they think the problem is, and what would have to be swapped to accomplish the repair, and what their flat rate repair price would be.
My experience has been that if they can actually FIX the problem in a few minutes (like maybe loose cables), without using parts, they will do that. Also for Free.

I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display

I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display. I've done the following:
-Shutdown the computer, and restarted in Safe Mode by pressing the Shift key after the restart tone
-Shutdown the computer, and restarted by pressing Command, Option, P & R after the restart tone
-Checked display resolution, Best for Retina
-Hooked it up to a Dell external monitor and via projection to screen. There are no lines on the external or secondary screens
-Just curious, I ran a color utility which can not repair 4 items, maybe this is another issue.
This is a brand new Macbook Pro, just out of the box. It was fine for two days without any issues, fine last night while in use, opened it up this morning with the line.
Anyone now how I can fix this on my own?

If you are within the first 14 days from the date of purchase, return the MBP for a refund or an exchange. If you are after the first 14 days of the date of purchase, have the MBP repaired under the warranty provisions.
Ciao.

Cant enter LCD Bist. Have Loads of Changing vertical lines on lcd screen.

I have classical problem on Pavilion DV6 laptop with LDC-problems. Screen is full of vertical lines changing with each frame.
Different forums advice to try a BIST TEST. but cant enter. Not by starting while holding "fn" or "D". What to do?

BangL,
Try updating your graphics driver and BIOS version. Here are the drivers for your computer, install the graphics driver first then once that has completed do the BIOS. When you update the BIOS please have the AC adapter plugged in throughout the process.
When you do the BIOS install, do version F.21 dated 09-27-2011. Once that is done see if the lines still show.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

If it's a thin 1 pixel wide vertical line it's highly likely it could be caused by a defective LCD.
One quick basic way to check is to note the position of the line. Then go to System Preferences, Displays, and lower the resolution. If ther line moves it's on the video and the logic board or video card if fitted is likely to be defective. If the line stays in the same position it's likely to be an LCD fault. Either way to have it repaired you'll need to visit an Apple store or AASP.
The worst offender for this problem is the Late 2006 17" iMac. FOC replacement of the LCD used to be covered by a quality program, but it's now ended.

Ummm...what?
You "do that last time"? Does that mean you already had tried this before posting? If so, I fear you may have tried other things as well...in which case, I request that you list out EVERYTHING you have already tried along with the specific results of each attempt.
Further -- "nothing happen"...as in, your BB did not reboot? Or do you mean that the reboot completed fine, but nothing changed regarding the symptoms you reported.
Please be very careful and explicit as the only information we have is what you say here...assumptions and guesses on our part are made much more difficult when there is little information provided.
Thanks and let us know!

TS2376 i have multicolored vertical lines on white screen after start up

I have red and green vertical lines on my screen

I have two red and one green thin vertical lines on the screen of my iMac. Is there anything I can do or do I need a new graphics card, or God forbid a new screen?

What model iMac? Could be a failing video card but maybe not. Is it that way on every screen, startup to shutdown, any time the screen is lit?
Do you have an AASP nearby? Time to have an estimate made. Fixing it will likely be very expensive.

HT1369 I have a nano 4th generation, the screen has gone blank or I get vertical lines, is there anyone that has had the same problem and fixed it? it does still plays music if I can find it

Has worked fine since I received it as a gift. It also worked fine up until the time the screen started with vertical lines then the screen went blank. any help would be appreciated. It still plays music when I can find it, with the screen blank it is difficult to find. thanks

T400s vertical line down the screen - outside of warranty

Hi
I've had a T400s for just a 2 bit over 2 years now and was always happy with it. I used it mostly with my docking station and have never travelled with it. Now out of the blue one day half the screen was black with a few pixel problems right in the middle with a clear vertical line down the screen. I was perplexed because I was sure no damage whatsoever happened to the notebook.
I googled and it seems to be a common problem:
A link among others:
"We have about 1200 T400s systems deployed and there has been a higher than normal failure rate with them compared to X301 and T61 systems. Our issues are LCD failure with a vertical line down the screen (very common), Speaker/Audio issues, and DoA systems."
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=89101
The problem seems to be known:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-76367
But since the notebook is outside of warranty but it's obviously a manufacturing problem on a (very) expensive notebook, how could I approach Lenovo service center to repair it for me? I have shelled out well over 2'500 Euro for the latest model back then and am a bit disappointed to be honest..
Thanks for any advice on how to approach this!

Yes, I spent 3 years at a Toronto Bank who bought say 500 systems or so plus notebooks. ThinkPad's and Think Center product. I supported did the warranty work while there. When the warranty was up it was up!! Even if a lowly optical mouse fail and a number of them did. Too bad nor replacement.
I've delt with IBM, Compaq and HP. There customer relations is entirely at at different level and would and did on may occasions provide one time post warranty repair even for catestophic issues well after warranty was over. This is a case by case basis. You could reach them and talk to them (locally) and not haveway around the world having no sense of what significance your case it.
There is a difference as was the turn around time 48hrs max and not weeks.

My macbook pro keeps freezing with vertical lines on the screen

I have a 2010 macbook pro that has worked wonderfully until now. As of late it keeps freezing with vertical lines across the screen. To me this indicates a hardware problem, but I ran a diagnostic (restarted while holding D) and it didn't find any errors. It seems that it happens when I move or bump my macbook, leading me to think it may possibly be a disk problem, but I'm not sure how to check this. Anybody else ever have this problem or could suggest a fix for it?

You can try a pram reset, which might help with the display, but the bumoing thing is what concerns me.
PRAM reset:
Power down, power back up and hold the following keys before the start up chime.
option, command, P, R,(no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times then release.
Reboot see if this helps, the bumping part scares me.
Hope this helps
