I installed addtl memory and the computer will come on but no screen

I jsut installed addtl memory to the 1.83 as only had 512 with the original purchase years ago...bought from Apple genius recommended Crucial
go the old out, added the new on the 2nd try as the new went in upside down from the old and according to the Apple demo, 2 sticks of 1 on the upper and lower areas...computer will now not come on..it turns on but no screen shows...what happened?

First remove the RAM and stick the orignal 512MB in, see if the computer works. It should fine.
Next remove the 512GB and replace with 1GB, see if the computer works, if so then
Install the second 1GB and see if it works,
If the first 1GB didn't work, then use the other and see if the computer works, if it does then install the 512MB in the second slot, if it doesn't work, you got a bad slot.
Document all your steps carefully, you have to determine which is the bad RAM module or if you have a bad RAM slot
One you can exchange, the bad slot your just out of luck.

Hi Clinton,
This happens to all the time and this is what I normally do. (Press and hold the pwer button until the computer shuts down) but, this doesn't seem to answer the real issue. Its just like you cut of the power to shut it down.
Kind Regards

Open the system menu via Alt+Space or click the Firefox icon on the title bar and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Hp TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light will come on but no image appears in the window.

Hi.
I have an HP Pavilion dv7 6178us Entertainment PC I just bought it last week. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 bits.
The problem I have is that yesterday I install Skype in the computer and realized that the HP TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light right next to the web cam will light up but no image will appear on the screen.
I have checked the software that I have in the computer for the webcam and the program is CyberLink YouCam BE version 3.5.
But the web cam does not work. The light right next to it will turn on when I activate Cyberlink, Skype or Messenger but no actual image will come out in computer screen. The computer is fully updated BIOS, Windows 7 and HP.
But the web cam is not working. Could you help me fix this problem?
Best regards:

I have a pavilion dv6 notepad. it's about a year old.
about a month ago internal webcam truevision hd stop working.
Called hp tech. they sent a box for me to ship the laptop.
they hp tech attempted to correct the problem via internet
did not work.
wanted me to do a restore to factory setting i stopped him there.
Webcam detected in device manager.
the webcam light come on but no image.
I actually see the back drop through the image space.
running windows 7, fully updated.
I found many comments on the web about the webcam connector disconnecting.
But if it was the case with my computer, the webcam would not be detected.
Many other comments suggests to do a restore to factory setting but \i read also that
does not work often.
I read many comments where disappointed clients believe hp should update
the software but the driver is actually microsoft dating back to june 2006.
Is it possible it's a hardware problem, ie webcam is burned out.
I have received a box to sent it and know they will do a system restore.
Don't feel to go that way.
Many comments refers to hp making an effort to get a driver update.
ps I decided to purchase a logitech webcam, works perfectly.
What else can I do to fix this problem.
Can hp send me another internal webcam.

Mac Pro - Mid 2010
Processor 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
This is a brand new machine that I just purchased from Apple. It was delivered yesterday
The old computer is an old PowerMac G5, but my OS X install disc is a retail version of 10.5.
I also tried the OS X 10.5 install disc that came with my MacBook Pro (2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dual).
Same issue - nothing but a grey screen when the system tries to boot from the DVD

My MacbookPro will not charge. The charger's led is on (green when it should be orange) but very dim and the computer will operate while plugged in. I only have a hundred cycles on my battery and the status is "normal".

I've tried all the troubleshooting options I could find from Mac Support, but none of seems to jive with what is going on here. This has been going on for a week now and since it began the led has turned orange and the battery has charged twice. Now it seems to be a lost cause. Will this be resolved by upgrading to Lion? I currently have Leopard 10.6.8

Hi Christopher,
Doubtful an upgrade would fix a hardware issue. If you are thinking of upgarding to Lion, best to do all necessary maintenance first.

I have a Macbook Pro (2009) and the tool bar in Safari keeps disappearing. There's a small diagonal arrow on the upper right that I can click and the bar will appear temporarily, but then it disappears from view. "Hide Toolbar" is greyed out in VIEW

My 2009 Macbook Pro's Safari doesn't show the tool bar anymore. I can click on a diagonal arrow in the upper right corner that appears when I put my cursor there and the tool bar will show, but then it disappears again. Also, when I get an email and click on an internet link the Safari doesn't open full page like it used to - it opens as a small little box and I have to click the diagonal arrow in upper right corner for it to open full screen. Any ideas how to correct this - it is so annoying. Thanks for any help!

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

My ipod connects to itunes and the computer i'm using but won't let me edit playlists or add/ take away music

I have an iPod touch and whichever device i use to edit my music has the same issue:
i can connect to the computer and my ipod is connected to itunes but i can't edit any of the music through itunes.
other issues include:
- unable to view new playlists created through the ipod itself (since the problem occured)
- unable to use the category tabs to view music by ratings, song names, bands, etc., through ipod (once connected to itunes) but option still available to view through itunes itself
- unable to change any names etc., for playlists
i've checked for software updates and storage usage but all are fine, data analysis under systems reads as normal (the occassional music app crash but that was months before this problem had occurrred)
two thing that have happened recently:
- my graphics/ screen thing-a-ma-bob for my macbook has gone funny (this was my primary devices for loading and editing music for my ipod) and has created difficulty in viewing things through my macbook screen. consequently i:
- recently connected my ipod to the home computer instead as i'm having issues with my macbook (this is a pc but is again well looked after, systmes updates and current programs are all updated)
please could someone help or suggest options for me to try as i'm so confused and would really like to edit my music to my tastes
thanks in advance!

You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.
If y oare having problem with iTunes not related to syncing try posting in the iTunes for Mac forum
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_mac
Otherwise try restoring the iPod from backup
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
