I'm unable to get my macbook pro to work with an Optoma tx542 projector. I've got a VGA adaptor, and the projector works with my old iMac, just not with the new macbook. Any ideas?

The projector recognizes it's a mac, since I see the mac desktop background on my screen when I connect, but I'm not seeing my desktop. Any ideas?
Thanks!

ugh...i'll be sure to let you know...i'm beginning to regret buyin a mac now...one usually spends the bucks most of have dropped for a premium machine, to actually work. I don't expect every aspect to be perfect, but simple things such as functionality of applications developed for and by the same company making the machines should work...maybe its just because i'm more than a little peeved that i'm going through such trouble to do something as simple as put two pictures next to each other and upload the site (as it appears in iweb) on to the mobileme...
I finally got it to upload, thanks Old Toad, and i got the pictures to upload...now they just don't appear next to each other as they do in iweb...i guess the good thing is that they are no longer covering text...
now i'm presented with a second problem...i add a second entry to my blog and when i click on that directly i'm taken to a page saying it is not found...but when i go to the first entry and click next it takes me to the second entry page...although that page is ALMOST correct (the links do not have the same styling i applied to them in iweb)...
and now i'm presented with a third problem...after adding the second entry i noticed on the blog listing page that my photo from the first entry did not move with it (another photo covering text problem)...so i tried using the graphic placeholder, but the image still does not show up on the main page...

Did you already try to reset the sync history?
If you find that some of your data syncs to your device but you see an unexpected number of changes or modifications, you may need to reset your sync history. This causes iTunes to prompt to Merge or Replace information on the device when you next attempt to sync your information. To reset your Sync History:
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Reset Sync History button.

When closing 2 windows(with multiple tabs each), system restore does not properly restore the second window's tabs. Is this a bug in the new update/any ideas to fix?

I regularly use 2 windows with multiple tabs each and session restore would work to get them all back, but after this latest update the second window does not restore properly, with the first tab not visible on top(only in drop down menu) and the add a tab button now on the left(instead of right). The add a tab button is not really concerning other than it indicates other problems with the tabs on tab of the 2nd window. Not having the 1st tab visible is frustrating, because I can not move it or as easily navigate. Also, the tabs on top of the 2nd window that are visible no longer have the "x" to close visible unless that tab is selected. I'm assuming this is a problem with the new release/update, since this is the first time I've ever encountered the problem, and I've shut down and restored Firefox a few times to make sure this was a recurring problem and not a one-time deal. Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome(other than perhaps cramming my tabs onto one window or sucking it up XD).

i was needing someones advice on how to fix my iphone4 when i turn it on it flicks between the home screen and the apple icon

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT201210 i am unable to sinc my 2010 mercedes with my new iphone, any ideas

any bluetooth help would be appreciated

I just switched my 2011 Mercedes from pairing with my old iPhone 4 to a new 5S and it was a bit confusing (much easier on my wife's Ford Fusion and more capabilities there). Mercedes has downloadable instructions specific to your year/model and specific to your phone. Start with the following link and follow it through selecting your year/model and then click on the picture of your phone (not the check box below the phone) and then download the "pairing instructions" http://www.mercedes-benz-mobile.com

I thought i downloaded a free magazine and would receive it weekly-.i am not getting the new issues-.any idea why?

Trying to learn the app store and new stand and how to download magazines on my iPad. Thought I downloaded a free weekly magazine but it is not coming weekly. What are the steps to do this. It said it was free.

Did you subscribe to the magazine? Many of the magazine apps are listed as free (for the app that lets you read the magazine) but requires you to subscribe. The subscription may be a paid subscription that you have to purchase.
Read the fine print under the magazine's app requirements.

I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.
