I updated the video driver and now the screen won't come on? how can I roll back the driver when I can't see the screen?

I am running my Mac Book Pro with Bootcamp. Leopard on one partition and Windows 7 on the other. I updated the driver for the Nvidia video card then the screen went black. I tried to boot into the MAC side but the screen doesn't even show the optional boot screen. It does however sound like it's booting, I have tried hooking up a second monitor to see if it would show on that but it doesn't. I have also tried booting from the CD using the Win 7 disk, hoping that it would use the video driver on the disk instead. I'm either not doing it right (pressing ctrl & D whilst starting up) or that doesn't work either? I'm a bit lost? Don't know how to get to it.

Take your MBP to an Apple Store or an AASP. If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, suggest that you take advantage of it & call Apple tech support.

Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

i updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do I fix this?

kathieaross,
click on the Java pane in System Preferences. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the Security tab, and set your Security Level to Medium — that will allow “untrusted” applications (i.e. those without certificates from a trusted authority) to run. Press the Apply button in the lower-right corner to confirm the change, then press the OK button to close the window.
Apparently your Yahoo! card games don’t have certificates associated with them, which is why the default security setting of Java SE 7 Update 51 didn’t allow them to run.

Well, good to meet you. I hope that didn't offend you somehow. I just recognized the name and wondered if you were another fan of the book.

Hi Jackson,
Since you have already done a restore of your iPhone, I would suggest that you now try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, set it up again and test before you restore your content. This article describes the process -
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Note - It is important that you follow this stop:
Use iTunes to back up your device and transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:

Dotted circles next to songs, won't sync, red circle with square?

HT3669 I updated my lexmark driver and now my printer won't print.

I updated to V2.8 yesterday and now my printer does not work.... Does anyone else have this issue????

Thanks but I tried all that. I ended up installing an older driver and now my printer is working just fine.......

I just updated to Mountain Lion and now time machine won't recognize my backups from before the update.

I updated from Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 on my MacBook Pro
I used disk utility to restore my external hardrive because I read somewhere that that would fix the problem.
It did fix the problem but only temporarily. I was able to view my backups from Snow Leopard, but as soon as I tried to backup again, time machine was stuck
"preparing to backup" for 5 hours and when I quit the prepare I could no longer access my previous backups.

So what happens if you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General? Are you able to go there at all? If you are able to go there, can you unlock the preferences using the lock in the lower left and your login name and password?
If you are able to do this, can you change the "Allow applications downloaded from:" to Anywhere?
Best of luck.

TS1702 I have bought the Recorder apps and now I have realized that it does not work for phone calls in Spain. What can I do?

Does anyone know it the Recorder apps only works in the U.S.? I think I made a mistake buying this to record some phone conversations for work and now I cannot record a phone call to a number in Spain. I mean my phone number is Spanish. Please help. Can you return an app if you are not satisfied?

Sorry, no. The terms state, you buy it, you own it, there are no refunds.

I moved my music to external hard drive and now iphone 4S won't sync

I recently moved ALL of my media (music, movies, etc) to my external Seagate 1TB hard drive to free up 200+ gig on my Macbook pro. I followed all of the steps, everything works perfectly, iphone is recognized and syncs all playlists, apps, etc EXCEPT it won't add any new music since the transfer.
So for instance, I added a new playlist for the new NIN album. It sits in the exact same place as all of my other music, but when I sync the phone, it only syncs the older media and NIN is nowhere to be found on the iphone.
I've scoured every message board and blog I can find and can't seem to find the answer.
Anyone??

How is that possible? The itunes music folder is now called itunes media folder and that's what was dragged to the trash and deleted:
I can only go by what you wrote.
"I deleted everything in my music folder"
locate your original iTunes Media folder, and drag it to the Trash.
there is no longer any itunes music or media folder on my mac, only the external hard drive
I quoted from the article. That is not what I am telling you to do now.
. If I had dragged the wrong file to the trash previously, it would have given me a warning, no?
No.
On your Mac, you should have an /Music/iTunes/ folder, yes?
If so, follow the steps I posted above.

I just put in a new C drive and now my pictures will not come up in Bridge and CS3.

Most of my pictures are .nef and now they open very tiny, not big at all. What am I doing wrong???
Thanks

You don't say what camera produced the .NEF files.
Have you updated the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in since re-installing?

Wiped my entire macbook drive and now snow leopard won't install over snow leopard server, HELP!

I ordered, what I thought, was Snow Leopard a while ago because I was running Leopard and I wanted to get the app store so I could move onto Lion and then Mountain Lion. I ordered the disc over the phone and the woman sent me the Snow Leopard Server instead of just Snow Leopard, I didn't think much about it so I clean installed it and ran it on my unibody macbook for a while. I didn't see much use for the disc anymore seeing that everything was downloadable at this point, so I sold the disc on Ebay and carried on. The server edition started to slow my computer down due to all of its excess applications and what not, and I read online that Lion and Mountain Lion are also very slow on the old unibody Macbooks so I ordered a regular Snow Leopard disc, now available online, and tried to install it. My computer said Snow Leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard server so I went to disc utitlity and wiped my entire drive while the OS X Snow Leopard disc was running and trying to install. I went back to the install window and it still said OS X Snow leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard Server so I shut down my computer and tried to turn it back on and I all I got was a blinking folder with a question mark in it, what do I do????????
P.S. All of my content is backed up on an external harddrive so I am all good with that.

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

Reformated Hard-Drive and now my nano won't work!

I had a problem with my computer, so I reformated my hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP completely. I lost everything, including my 500 song files for iTunes.
So starting over, I reinstalled iPod Updater and iTunes and I just finished putting all my cds back on iTunes - only 400 or so songs this time because I didn't back up all my music.
I wanted to plug in my ipod and set it back to factory settings so I can refill it because I know it might think it is another computer (and I know you can't do that), but when I do, iPod Updater doesn't recgonize it.
What's going on and how can I fix it?
Dell Dimension 2400 Windows XP

UPDATE - My iPod's battery was WAAAY low and I turned it on real quick and plugged it in. On the screen it shows this weird charging thing, but I'm guessing its charging and iPod Updater recgonizes it but when I clicked RESTORE, it said cannot mount iPod.

Firmware update 7.2.1 and now airport extreem won't work

I did the firmware update for 7.2.1 the other day and ever since the airport extreme base station keeps resetting itself over and over again then I unplug it for a few hours and plug it back in and its ok for a while then it does it again. When it is doing this I cannot connect to it with the airport utility and when I finaly get connected I try to put the firmware for 7.1.1 back and it just sits at 0% forever.
I'd realy apreciate some help with this. I have guests here and none of us can get to the internet and its getting frustrating as heck!

did you try to reset your base?
This is helpful in some cases.
You will find instructions here:

Please be patient.
Attention: Resetting your base will erase all of it's settings!
