I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Im not sure if there's something special I need to do once I turn it back on; in the meantime, its still on... which I'm afraid the picture on the screen will burn into the screen. Does that happen on iMac's? Thx!

Try a hard reset. ( holding Power til it restarts)
Once to your desktop. Click the Apple icon >> About this mac >> More info>> Storage
Once you see what you have the most of. Try to see what you can delete.
Open up any folder>>all files>> or buy an external to store more data.
Once deleting make sure you empty your trash.
If you are new and its a new computer, you might need to bring it to a store for further assistence.

How do I start up my computer when the screen is black after "waking" it up from sleep mode and/or turning it on from the shut down?

I really need help! I just got this MacBook Air almost two weeks ago. It is a refirbished one. Now lately, when I put it to sleep and then get back to it, it won't wake up. It just gives me a black screen and a running noise. Sometimes it does it too when I shut it down. And sometimes it will work fine as if it never happens-i move the mouse and the computer starts up. I am deaf and living on campus for school, so there is no chance for me to get some help through a simple phone call and there is no nearby apple stores or providers.
Please help me, I do not want to go back to my Dell computer.

I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

I just downloaded Lightroom 5 Trial, I have lightroom 3 already on my Mac. I noticed my computer is low on space and wondered if its because I downloaded the trial. Lightroom 5 now has all my photos in it- are those copies of the photos in Lightroom 3? Did the download copy over all my catalogs?

No, that would not happen. Lightroom does not copy your photos into its catalogs. If you had one copy of the photo before you did this, you will still have one copy of the photo.
What Lightroom does is creates small thumbnail versions of your photos (called "previews"). Depending on how many photos you have, and options that you set in the program, these previews may or may not take up a lot of space.
Why don't you use your operating system to see what is taking up space? Report back, and we can advise you further.

Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet

Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet

I have found that Lion is slower to connect to WiFi when awakening than were previous Mac OS X versions. However, the WiFi connection usually takes less than 15 seconds unless a Time Machine backup was interrupted when my computer was put to sleep. When this happens and the computer awakens, the Time Machine backup attempts to continue prior to the WiFi connection having been made. Until the Time Machine backup fails due to its inability to connect to my Time Capsule because of no WiFi connection, or I stop it manually, the WiFi connection will not occur. So if Time Machine backups are on, you may be experiencing this bug which I have reported to Apple.

Tried to sync an app onto my touch off of my computer, and a window popped up stating that I did not have the proper software for the app...HELP

I tried to sync an app from my computer to my touch and a window popped up stating that I did not have the proper software for that app. How do I get the software update??

This is the iPhone hardware forum. It sounds like you need to upgrade the version of iOS on your device, though. Plug it in and click check for updates in iTunes.

HP Pavilion starts up in hibernate/sleep mode and remains there - there is nothing on the monitor

I have an HP Pavilion Elite HPE-250f (Core i7) desktop computer.
I was using the internet. Suddenly, the computer made some sound, and the screen went blank. The computer seemed to go into its usual hibernate/sleep mode. Usually, when the computer goes into hibernate/sleep mode (after some period of not being used), the color on the power button changes from blue to yellow. But, this time, the color remained blue.
Usually, I can move the mouse and get out of this mode. But, this time, I moved the mouse, and nothing happened.
I pressed and held the power button and turned off the computer. I then turned the computer back on. The power button was blue, there was a green light on the back of the computer, and the fans were working. But there was nothing on the screen.
I restarted several times, and there remains nothing on the screen. There is no beeping sound when the computer is restarted.
What do I do? Please help. Thank you.
This question was solved.

I removed the RAM memory cards and reinstalled them. That solved the problem.

I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode resulting in my need to restart the computer. I dislike all of my programs opening at once when I do get the computer started becasue it slows the cpu down. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there.

When I try to go to the profile manager, the Mac Terminal says this: "dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022" and I don't know what that means!

Firefox has been acting up lately, so I was going to create a new profile and copy over some stuff from the old one to the new one. I followed the instructions on the troubleshooting page, but when I tried to type in /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager, the Terminal says dyld:unknown required load command 0x80000022. I know Firefox is closed, so I have no idea what's going on. Please help!

add "arch -i386 " at the beginning of the command

TS2634 My iPad is now disabled because someone entered the wrong passcodes too many times. I connected to iTunes and I got an error code that the iPad's passcode needs to be entered. What do I do now?

My iPad2 was being used by my wife. She put a passcode on it. She hasn't used this iPad for a while and forgot the passcode. She entered what she thought was the 4 digit passcode but the iPad did not accept it. She tried different combinations and eventually disabled the iPad. Now it has this message: "iPad is disabled connect to iTunes". I connected it to iTunes and iTunes is asking for the passcode to be entered into the iPad before it can be synced? I can't enter the passcode because the iPad is disabled. Please help how I can solve this. Thanks.

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and resync/restore your content to it.

Mac Book Pro won't wake up from "sleep mode"

After putting laptop to sleep last night, I wake up to a computer in "sleep mode"
The screen is black and not responding, the sleep indicator is lit steadily (not slowly blinking as it normally does in sleep mode) but the computer does not seem to respond to anything. Screen stays black. Does anyone have same issue? I was told that the video chip is shot but I am not sure. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.

An accumulation of old wireless networks you have joined can cause similar symptoms. If you can get the computer running, do System Preferences > Network and select the Airport connection, then click the "Advanced..." button. You should see a window listing all networks you've joined. Delete all except those you use on a weekly basis. Restart and try letting it sleep.
When my Late 2007 MBP had the same symptoms as you describe, the system log showed it was try to connect to a lodge network miles away where I stayed a few weeks before. Deleting about 30 unused networks accumulated during months or travel fixed the issue, and it's not recurred, because I kno keep the list tidy.

I have my Macbook Air hooked up to a Thunderbolt Display, is there any way to power on the Macbook Air using an Apple USB keyboard plugged into the Thunderbolt display? I would like to be able to keep the Macbook Air in the Archbook dock and not have to open it to power it on?
Thanks for any advise.

Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock?
I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
Any App or plug-in that does that?
Many thanks

Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

When my IMac awakes from sleep mode, the password login screen freezes and no cursor appears.

Hello! When my IMac awakens from sleep mode, my log in screen is frozen (I can't type anything) and there is no cursor.
I can turn the computer off and on again and then I have an active log in screen, but if I walk away from the computer and it goes into sleep mode and i have the same problem trying to bring it back from sleep mode.
Thoughts?

Hey Kristogirl,
I understand that when waking from sleep mode, your iMac freezes. Try executing these two troubleshooting steps:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

OS X Mountain Lion: Reset your computer’s PRAM

If neither of those help the issue, I would follow the steps in the next article, specifically the "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" section:

Everytime I wake up my computer from Sleep Mode the sound starts to crackle on my X-Fi?

Sometimes I'll be playing a song and a few seconds in it starts to crackle and distort the music. I notice that it only happens after my computer wakes up from sleep mode. Usually restart can fix the problem.

Okay, I seem to have solved the problem I posted about earlier. I noticed that the language preference in the upper right hand corner of the screen (between the date and time and the Spotlight icon) had somehow gotten switched from American English to French. When I switched it back to American English, my password worked when waking the computer from sleep mode. I have no idea why changing the language preference would affect the way the password works but that seems to have been the case. I'll post again if I experience more problems.

My password works fine when I turn the computer on, but when I try to wake it from sleep mode the computer doesn't recognize my password -- the same one I used successfully when I turned the computer on.
