I've been using VMWare Fusion for my Macbookbook Pro (OS Lion) and it froze the other day. It couldn't force quit any program so I needed to do a hard reset by pressing the power button. Now VMWare won't restart properly. How do I fix this?

The Mac side works fine but now the VMWare won't even open windows. After restarting it did an automatic StartUp Repair but after another reboot, it was just a black screen.

Have you rebooted the Mac. Give that a try.
If that doesn't work you could reinstall Fusion but if Fusion opens and you can get to the Library windows of Fusion I think your VM OS is toast.
I make a habbit of copying the VM to another internal, yes I have 2 internal drives in my MBP, and to an external drive. I do this about once a week. That way if the Mac screws something up I have a backup I can use to overwrite the one that does not work correctly.
Good Luck. Hope you get it working.

  • I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes. Now, it won't open. How can I fix this?

    Recently, I downloaded iTunes version 10.5.3. Now, I double click it on my desktop, and in the iTunes process appears briefly in Task Manager. It gets up to the memory usage where it normally opens, but now, when it gets to that point, the task disappears, and won't reappear. I've tried many times to reopen it, but the same problem happens every time. I have already reinstalled iTunes, then removed it completely and installed it again, and the problem persists. Is there any way I can fix the problem?

    Try following steps and test one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

    I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

  • Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this?

    Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

    To check for warranty coverage:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for theother 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because no longer in US

    I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because the issue is registered to when i was in America and i require to pay the funds from an American source. Any ideas how i can resolve this? It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK. I think i have posted this in the wrong area but anyone got any ideas?
    I have managed to change the rest of my accoutn being registered to the UK i think except this

    Hi..
    You can email Apple for help but the link is for the iTunes store not the Mac App Store. You've inadvertently poasted in the Using Mac App Store forum but that's ok. Billing issues are the same for the iTunes Store.
    Click here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
    It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK
    Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

  • TS3274 i dropped my ipad and now i have a "green screen" how do i fix this?

    i dropped my ipad and now i have a "green screen" how do i fix this?

    If it's an iPad 2, it's old enough to be out of warranty. Courcoul's suggestion to trade it in for a new one is ok if you are in the market. If not and you want to take a risk - and possibly a big one at that - others have reported a pretty extreme solution to this problem. Slap it on the back.
    I know, I know. It's sounds crazy, but there are several threads here claiming it works.
    Here is just one of them. You can do a search to find others.

    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.

  • I have a new laptop so I download again iTunes...the problem here is that I just got a cd and I tried to put it on my iPod and it won't let me, how can I fix this?

    The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library.  However, you can manage music among disfferent computers.  See:

  • My Ipod nano power button wont work while headset are in, how do i fix it?

    Hello, I got myself a iPod nano 6th gen. and I'm already having  problems with it.  I got it from ebay and it was working all good, expect  one day the power/sleep button just stop working when the headset are plugged in.
    so this is how I can somewhat make it  work on it but it still stinks to work with it like this.  When I have  no head set plug in, it works all fine.  The power/sleep button is okay,  the volume button is okay, and the touch screen is okay, but once I  plug the headset set in, if shut off after 1 second, and cant turn it  back on, then if i plug my power cable in then I can use the touch  screes, but the power/sleep button doesn't work as well the volume  buttons.  Now if I do a soft reset with the power button and down volume  and get the apple logo on, I can quickly get the headset plug in and  play the music with out the power cable in, but still cant use the  button at all.   Also when I have it plug in to the power cable then plug  in the headset, it shut off until I replug in the power cable or remove the headset to turn it back on.
    How  can I fix this?  I tried the factory reset through iTunes, and it  didn't help.  I try the diagnostic and that didn't help.  Should I just  send it in and pay for the repair cost or what?

    The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
    If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an Apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.
