I have just purchased an Imac 3 days ago, and my brother must of shook the computer, and or touch something on the keyboard and the screen went black? any advice?

Have you tried powering it off and on again? You can also unplug it, wait for a few mins and plug it in again then try it.
If that fails and as it is brand new you should contact Apple and arrange to have to looked at.

    It sounds really unlikely though... You have to type in your password twice when setting up so you either:
    made the same typo twice
    the caps lock was on
    You held down SHIFT during one of the letters
    the keys have relocated because of different language keyboard layout
    you simply forgot exactly what you typed.
    Are you aware that passwords are case-sensetive? also, when using punctuation in passwords be aware that language localization of the keyboard can cause relocation of certain symbols like $ and € and * and ' which may make it impossible to retype the password correctly, if you are unaware of the correct way to type a certain puntuation symbol.

    I have just purchased an ipad3 mainly for storing and viewing my photos but I cannot get my photos to sync using itunes. Does anyone have the best solution please?

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    We have a MacBook Pro and it is usually quiet, but it sits in a stand to allow air under the bottom.
    Just my opinion, but based on experience.
    You are still eligible to purchase the longer term AppleCare warranty I think (3 years if my memory is correct). While it is an expense that you may never need, in my opinion, it is cheap insurance based on the cost to repair computers. I buy it and more than once it has paid for itself many times over. Not that Apple products are bad, but electronics do weird things at times.

    We just moved from the United States to Costa Rica.  The first two days my mac worked great.  Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it. When I restart it seems okay and I see my main screen, but only for a second and then it goes black again.

    When restoring from the backup, whatever is included with the backup from two days ago should be restored which includes photos/videos in the Camera Roll at the time of the backup along with all other data included with the backup at the time of the backup two days ago.

    Hey BlueEyedDude,
    Thanks for the question. I’m sorry to hear about your iPod nano! If you believe you have isolated the issue completely to hardware, you can learn more about servicing your device at the following link:
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    If you’d like to attempt some more troubleshooting tips, see this link:
    iPod nano - 4th and 5th generation - Apple Support
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/4th_5th_generation/
    If you do decide to service your device, you’ll want to make sure all of the music and information is backed up. If you regularly sync your device with a computer, this music should be on the computer. If not, you can learn about what purchases you can transfer from the iPod to a computer:

    Have you tried resetting your iPhone, press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider, then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing this.
