All I Can Seee On My Screen Is 2 Lines!!

Hello,
Sounds to me like your iBook is suffering from a problem with the display or graphics chip. It could be something a simple as the video cable that runs from the base to the screen.
In the first instance I would reset the PMU just to see if that can help.

  • I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Hi all, I am not able to open the game centre on my ipad! When I click on the icon the screen goes white and all I can see on the screen is the battery icon on top right and internet connection top left. Nothing else happens. Please can anyone

    Please can anyone help me to open game centre. Thanks in advance.

    Try closing Game Centre via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it :
    iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Game Centre's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Game Centre 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Game Centre app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I turned on my mac and all i am getting is a white screen with a flashing envelpe

    I turned on my computer and all that I see is a white screen with an file folder in the middle of screen that flahes.  The file folder also has a question mark on it.

    Try booting to Recovery (Command + R just after releasing the power button)
    If you are running 10.6.8 or Earlier you will need the Install DVD and to hold down C instead.
    Once in there go into Disk Utility, Can you see the Macintosh HD on the left hand side?
    If so;
    Click on it
    Under the first aid tab select "Verify Disk"
    Even if this comes back saying its verified and all good, click "Repair Disk" After this
    If everything is good after that try restarting
    If it says that you need to backup your data and reformat the drive ect, we have to do a Erase and Install.
    (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5943)
    If you haven't got your data backed up you can get an external HDD install OSX onto it, then backup your files from that.
    If you can't see anything on the left, the HDD is dead, or can't be mounted, head to an Apple Retail Store, or Service Provider, and if the data is important you can hit up a data recovery center.

  • I tried to eject a cd, didn't work so I turned off the computer and now it keeps getting stuck at the gray screen. How do I fix it?

    Here are a few more details. I put in a game cd for a windows computer, once I opened the folder on the desktop I noticed the install application was .exe so I tried to eject the cd but no matter what I tried on the computer it wouldn't come out. I will say though that I didn't try the manual cd eject cause I didn't have anything small to hit the button in the cd drive with. It was getting late so we decided to just turn off the computer and leave it for the next day. I can't remember if we turned the computer off with apple shut down or by holding down the power button but we walked away pretty quickly before it was fully shut down. The next day the computer won't turn on. When I walked into the room I was the computer stuck with a grey background with the apple logo showing and the circular thing under it frozen. Since no one was in the room I held down the power button and turned the computer off. We tried to start the computer again later but again it keeps getting stuck at the same spot. Now when we hold the power button down to turn it off I'm not sure if it's really turning off all the way. The screen goes dark but it sounds like the fan is still going. I tried disconnecting everything but the keyboard and mouse but when I started it up again it got stuck on the grey screen with just the apple logo. I'd really apprechiate help on this cause I live in Germany right now and support call centers work so much worse when you don't speak the language well... Thanks for any help you can give!

    Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.

  • How do I get an iPod touch to turn on other than the normal way. It has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. Have tried holding the HOME button down for 30 sec. but that didn't work.

    How does one get an iPod nano to turn on other than the "normal" way? This one has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. I have tried holding down the HOME button to restart it but no go. When I connect it to my computer, I am told to enter the PASSCODE which I cannot do as there is no touchpad.

    David ..
    Your topic refers to an iPod touch
    Then you say:  How does one get an iPod nano to turn on ......
    If it's an iPod touch, try a reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, whether it's an iPod nano or touch, it probably needs service >  Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

  • I have my ipod nano 5th generation and when i plugged it to my computer it is recognized but i cant do anything. On the ipod all i can see is a black screen with the apple sign! How can i fix this?

    Howdy Lumagofe,
    I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
    If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
    All the very best,

  • Every time i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player

    Everytime i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player11.8 . I have tryed everything i could find on the internet, nothing helps. please help.  I wish i could contact adobe directly but don't know how. Been trying to fix it for a week.

    Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder -  DO NOT run it yet.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
    When it finishes, run the  installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.
    If you use IE see also:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

  • HT201317 I recent returned from an eight day trip during which I took over 100 photos.  When I returened home yesterday, I turned on my computer and Photostream downloaded about half (randomly numbered) of my photos. The rest have not downloaded after 36

    I recently returned from an eight day trip during which I took over 100 photos.  When I returned home yesterday, I turned on my computer and about half (randomly numbered) of my photos downloaded to Photo Stream.  I have been waiting for about 36 hours now and the rest have not downloaded.  What could be the problem?
    As additional infromation, I tried turning OFF Photo Stream on the I Cloud Control Panel and then back ON to no avail.  And all my previous pictures (taken on other trips) have downloaded completly with no problems.

    Have you checked your Photos application for Photostream? Photos are saved for 30 days in photo stream and can be moved to camera roll.
    Let me know if I can specify the search.

  • I am trying to delete an email. However, when I highlight it, the highlight turns a very dark blue and all I can do is undelete it! How come this happens?

    I am trying to delete an email. However, recently, when I highlight the email, the highlighted area turns a very dark blue and all I can do is undelete it. The "delete" sign at the top is not visible. What causes this to happen?

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • When I turn on messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines and a text list of addresses.  How can I get the regular message screen back?

    When I turn on Messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines.  How can I get the regular Messages screen back?

    The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

  • Recently bought  a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found."

    Recently bought  a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Hope you can help me solve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Shellyboo

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
