I have a white/grey screen and none of the suggested operations have helped, what should I do?
I have a white/grey screen and none of the suggested options have worked - I have tried all the suggestions on Apple support
Ok, I've had this problem before and contacted Applecare support and they told me that it was an issue with the RAM inside the Mac or something like that. They told me to refresh the ram, and it fixed the problem so that's what I'd recommend. Here's how to do it.
Hit Power button, then press and hold Command + R + Option + P at the same time.
This resets the residual ram that is causing the start up to hang.
Try that, I hope it works for you.

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks
TerryPremiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements. -
After following the Apple knowledge base support notes on resetting the SMC I finally got to the reset SMC step and this worked. Powered the Mac Book Pro A1150 back up on the following morning and again grey screen and this time the SMC reset refuses to work!
The battery still as before indicates not charging and no lights on the battery pack confirm this along with the system profiler which suggests the battery should be replaced. The charger itself actually works ok.
Any further advice would be useful.Replace the battery.

How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have just updated my macbook pro 13" with requested updates and asked me to restart. Upon restarting it went to the grey startup screen where it just sticks flashing betwwen shades of grey. One shade which the mouse pointer and another shade with the start up wheel?
Any suggestions would be a great help.You may be having a hardware problem that you cannot resolve on your own. Nevertheless...
...hold down the command and R keys whilst booting to try to get to your Recovery partition. If you can, use Disk Utility to try to Verify your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). If the verification fails, try to repair your hard drive. If everything appears to be OK, restart.
If you can't get into your Recovery partition, your problem is likely hardware related. If so, keep your appointment and see what the Apple techs have to say.

Hi, I am having similar problem to other people that I have found on this forum in that on my computer, when Firefox is first installed from fresh, Windows 7 displays the correct icon for htm/html files, but when I restart, these icons are replaced with the generic "I don't know" icons. So far I have tried to fixes this issue with the following methods to fox this issue, none of which have worked:
- rebuilding the icon cache by deleting iconcache.db
- setting defaults programs from Firefox to IE then back to Firefox
- adding the registry keys Old Icon -> FirefoxHTML -> DefaultIcon from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597} to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}
- changing the Windows Zoom settings from 100% to 150% and back
- Using the programs Types, to delete and recreate the htm associations.
Also, I know that I have been able to fix this issue before when I have had to reinstall Windows before, but I cannot remember how exactly, aprt from that I did involve editing the registry, but possible not in the way I found on the forum.Steve1951 at
'''http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/135115-Icons-for-Firefox-missing-in-Windows-Explorer.''' Found the solution which worked for me. See his quote below:
Here is what I did to fix the problem:
1. I deleted registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\ShellEx\IconHandler (I completely deleted the key, not just set it to no value).
2. I set registry key to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\FirefoxHTML\Def aultIcon to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe,1
3. I changed the file association from Firefox to Internet Explorer and then from Internet Explorer back to Firefox [ I logged off and on again so that the registry changes would take effect].
Now all is functioning properly.
Thanks Steve1951 this totally fixed my problem

My smart cover is scratching my screen and will not put my ipad to sleep what should I do?
Ever since I got my IPad the smart cover half the time does not put the Ipad to sleep. Also, the cover is scratching my screen. This smart cover is really causing me to regret my decision to sell my IPad 1 and get the second generation IPad. Also, Safari is and some of the other apps are constantly crashing, I am getting really frustrated where should I go from here the apple store has not been much of a help?
P.S.
I hope that this is not like the first generation Apple TV I bought which has never worked correctly (waste of 220 dollars).Try:

Disabled ipod and none of the suggested fixes are working!
My daughter entered her password wrong too many times and her ipod is now disabled. I've tried all the suggested fixes on the support page and nothing is working. When I try to restore it thru itunes it says it can't because it is locked with a password. I tried to erase it thru icloud, but the ipod is offline and I don't know how to get it online. I tried to soft reset, I tried to hard reset. Nothing! Help!
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
My 30GB iPod is frozen and none of the online support info helps!
I tried everything.it is stuck on a Now Playing screen and I've tried resetting it by the click wheel and ipod updater but nothing works!
Dell Windows XPI took the advice in another topic and instead of trying to reset the iPod by pressing the Menu and Play/Pause button like the AppleCare Protection Plan Quick Reference Guide told me, I pressed the Menu and Center button for 5 seconds. Finally it worked. (: Then I had to update the software. Now I'm good.
