I have stripped a screw replacing the had cable, what do I do?

I have stripped the right screw under the black barrier that both the screw and barrier hold down the had cable. Do I have any options? I know it was stupid but hey-ho can't go back and change it now. Thanks for all the help!

Ok I have removed tons of stripped screws. They make a left handed Drill Bit. You need a Reversable Drill and it needs to be on reverse or turning from right to left to unscrew it install the drill bit in the drill and if the drill is variable speed you start id very very slow and right in the middle of the screw. See if you can find an easy out small enough to start in the hole you have made and it will screw right out.
If the head is so damaged you will need a very small chisel and a very small jewelers hammer and put the chissel on the edge of the head and tap it gently to unscrew it remembering that righty tighty lefty loosy.
It is time consuming but it will come out. Without any trouble go slow and easy.

If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
Best of luck.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

How to replace the inverter cable? screen gone black in MacBook

Hi
There is no apple service provider in my location. Can I replace the inverter cable without having to take the MacBook to an apple store? is it easy to do? and can I use any inverter cable? or does it have to be especially designed for Macbook?
I have a black Macbook. The screen used to go black sporadically, and now it has totally gone black, and I couldn't get it to work again.
Any advice????
Thank you

Your answer is most helpful and sincerely appreciated, Level 6
Looks like the cable in question being identical throughout "The Black Period".
Looking at it right now it seems easier to patch than waiting for a replacement. Will report back if it wasn't.
Mine is a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 13-inch Mid 2007, heavily hacked.

When I try to register my apple tv, I can't do it, because they ask me for a MPN number that I don't have, because I through out the package. What can I do without having the MPN number?

I bought my Apple TV in Singapore and I haven’t used it yet. When I try to rent a film, comes the message that may signature is not working for security issues.
However, when I go to the Apple Web site, click "Support", and then "Register an Apple Product", I can´t do it, because they ask me for a MPN number that I don’t have, because I through out the package. What can I do without having the MPN number?
Thanks!

Call Apple Care for your country and ask for help resetting the questions.

Probably you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened by newer Pages versions anywhere, is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

HT1665 do you replace the cord/cable of the charger? I just bought my iPad mini with retina last December.

You only replace it if it's not working.

HT1267 what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and you dont have any way to get the Serial number what do u do

what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and u have no way to get the serial number what do u do

If you eject the SIM card tray the serial number is also there. It's tiny, but there.
When my iPhone won't turn on I first charge it with a known good cable for a few hours. If nothing after that I begin a warranty lookup for repair.

Need to replace the ADC cable

Help anyone,
My ADC cable (20" clear cinema display to G4 mirror door ADC port) has rotted away and I need to replace it. What are my option$? Can't find the original cable anywhere on line but see a lot of the Apple DVI to ADC adaptors (eBay). (The mirror door G4 has both ADI and DVI ports). But looking at the pictures I'm not sure that'll do the trick-- it looks to me like the ADC end of it is on the power supply ... not sure how that will physically plug into the back of the display, at least it doesn't look like it will. Maybe there's an adapter needed?
Anybody done this?
A.

The cable is permanently connected to the display. There are some cables for sale that may have come from broken displays, but they are for every size except the 20". One may be compatible with the 20", but you will have to open your display to see if it matches.

I can't charge my 4th Generation iPod Touch. There's no water damage and I replaced the usb cable.

About a month ago my iPod touch went completely dead and I didnt charge it for a few days. I tried to charge it on my laptop, but it didn't charge at all. The screen didn't even turn on. I noticed a few knicks on the usb cord so I just replaced it. I tried the same thing again and tried to charge it on my laptop. Still no luck and it didn't turn on. It's like my pc isnt recognizing it at all. I went through Apple's support steps and it doesn't have any water damage. I'm not really sure if its something wrong with the battery or what. I'm not familiar with apple products. Can anyone help? Thanks.

In what app are you trying to use a capital letter?
Did it work before?

Is there a way to have audio only come through the optic cable and video come only through HDMI on Apple TV 3rd Gen?

I currently have a digital optic cable hook up from my Apple TV 3 to my receiver and a HDMI hook up from my Apple TV 3to my flat screen. The audio is coming out of my TV speakers and receiver at the same time. I was wonder if there was a way to switch the audio output from the Apple TV 3 to the digital optic cable and only have video come out of the HDMI? I really only plan on using my receiver for the audio for my Apple TV 3. I know that I can just mute the TV but I wanted to know if there was a way to switch the feed. Thanks

There is an option on my TV but if I do that I lose all my audio on the TV. I have 3 HDMI ports on my Flat Screen. One is for my cable, one is for my PS3 (BTW the PS3 has an option to switch the audio feed so it will come out of the digital optic cable and leave video for the HDMI), and the last one is for my Apple TV 3. If I switch to external speakers I will lose my audio for the cable. I was hoping there was a way to switch the audio feed on the Apple TV 3.

I would like to know if I can have FCP maker names be the same as what appears in field, master comment 1. I am importing these makers from a 3rd party system

Hello, I am importing logs from from a 3rd party system. They come in as markers into FCP. The log comments come in under master comment 1. Is there a way to re-map this so master comment 1 appears where the maker type is shown.

That's like the 00-th post that asks for the same thing: digital connection of the Creative soundcard to a receiver.
Yes, you can connect the card via a jack situated on the back of the card - you just need a cable with stereo minijack and RCA. All the older Creative cards (since Li've!) have that SPDIF output on the back, on the form of a mini-jack. It is labeled as "digital".
The ONLY problem is that you will be able to send surround sound via SPDIF only if it is encoded DD or DTS on a DVD-ROM. The card itself will not encode surround sound CREATED in the PC. So, games, mp3's, CD's all will be stereo PCM. I guess that your old MoBo SPDIF was in the same situation (except for a SoundStorm integrated from nVidia that does DD 5. encoding on the fly). If you don't care about gaming performance, Turtle Beach make a card that does DolbyDigital encoding on-the-fly - they are calling this Dolby Digital Li've.
About mikes: one mike input is existing on the back of the card, and another one on the expansion bay (if you have platinum version). both of them will take only a el-cheapo (electret/condenser mike), not a proffesional one.

Trying to upgrade to 3.6.8, and it says I can't because I "don't have access to some of the items. What in the world does this mean, and what do I do?

I'm on a new Mac Mini running 10.6.4, bought in January and loaded with what I assumed was the latest version of FireFox--what I have is 3.5.2. I know I upgraded at least once since January
When I try to download 3.6.8, it says that I "don't have access to some of the items."
I don't think I've downloaded any plug-ins or anything that should trigger this. I have done a bunch of the standard upgrades that Microsoft incessantly sends out to fix problems in the Office suite. Haven't added any new applications. Can't figure out the problem. HELP!

Hello.
Try this:
- uninstall your current version of Firefox (no data will be lost)
- delete it's Firefox install folder (not your profile folder)
- install the new version
That should circumvent this problem. If you can't delete your Firefox install folder, after having uninstalled it, maybe it's because some of the files are locked. Try rebooting the system. If that doesn't help, ask Apple for support.

I bought a used iPod touch for my daughter and I do not have reset code to reset the device. What can I do?

I bought a used iPod touch for my daughter and I do not have a code to reset it....neither does the seller. What can I do?

that would sound all my alarm bells if this device is stolen.

How much does it cost to replace the SATA cable in a 2009 13" MBP if Apple does it?

The laptop isn't under warranty, and the repair would occur in NYC.

The problem with having Apple do it is they will replace it with the same cable part number, the same cable as original.
If you are having problems with a faster drive not working you really need an updated cable. The part number for that cable can be found in the Seagate XT disaster thread on this forum.

I have stripped a screw replacing the had cable, what do I do?
