IBook died last night when Safari froze
A little background: I've had myriad problems with my iBook, starting last summer. Since that time it has crashed twice...all after the 90 day warranty ran out.
Last night after a few problems booting I was able to surf the Web for a while when Safari unexpectedly froze. I tried rebooting a few times and nothing. I did a hardware check and everything seems OK. I tried reloading OSX and that's where I'm having problems.
I've tried a Restore Disk and that didn't seem to work. I'm not sure where to go from there. After that, I tried to reinstall but it get stuck at the fourth stage and goes no further. It seems to be asking where I would like to install to but gives me no options or choices for places to put it. Any suggestions? I am getting so sick of going to Apple support.
I'm wondering if my computer is just a dud.
Actually, the warrantly is long over. I bought the machine in Nov. 2003. The 90-day warranty to which I referred was the one I got when my logic board fried and I had to send it back to Apple for a repair.
I checked out my machine again last night. (It's the only one I have, I am having to post elsewhere now). Here's what I got:
I was in Disk Utility and the repair did not work. My new question is this: What happens if I choose "erase" one or both of these drives: "37.3 GB Fujitsu MHT2040AT" or "disc0s9?" I also have an option to create a "new image." I don't know what that means but I suspect it might allow me to save what is on those two drives mentioned above before doing an erase. Is this correct? Also, if I do "erase" does this basically just mean I'm getting ready to reinstall OsX?
Sorry for so many questions. I'm a newbie here and I'm frustrated with the number of troubles I've had with this machine.

I was using my wifi last night when I got an error message stating my ip address had been taken over. Then safari stopped working and i can no longer access the internet. I looked at my ip address and it states 000.000.000....can someone please help?
Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

My phone died last night and when I plugged it in it wouldn't turn on.I tried restarting it but it has yet to turn on since last night,It was just a black screen,i try the on/off and home buttons together but its not working,What should I do?
How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

my ipohn 4 died last night and wont turn on pls help me
Hi Punkermama,
If the screen on your iPhone is dark but the phone otherwise seems to be responding (sounds, etc), an Accessability feature known as Screen Curtain may have inadvertently been activated. You may find the following section of the iOS 7 for iPhone manual helpful (Apendix A - Accessability, in the Voiceover section on pg 126):
Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

i just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds. i already checked the settings. i cannot find what's causing it. please help.
You may have already checked the settings, but it still sounds like you have system sounds muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

my iphone 5s got freeze last night when i wanted to reset it. what shall i do
Do NOT try to turn it on or charge it. That will likely kill it.
Let it dry for a week or so, then try.
You will likely need to get a replacement. -
I was charging and updating my mini ipad last night when it suddenly shut down and will not turn on since then. What do I do to turn it on again?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

my iphone 5 died last night while I was sleep. I have had it on charge all day and still has not came back on. I also tried to hold the sleep/home button. Is there anyway I could get my phone back on?
Did you try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article?

Each time I open LR 5.6, I receive a message that it has stopped working and that Windows will try to find a solution. This very frustrating to say the least. It started last night when I was key wording and color coding images. Each time it did it, the changes I made were there and seem to be in my backup but it keeps happening. Any thoughts?
Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

My battery died last night and the phone switched itself...
My battery died last night and the phone switched itself off. It has now been charging for 5 hours and still will not switch on. Please help.
Remove and reinsert the battery from the device. Also clean the battery and device connectors with a cloth....then plug the device on the charger.
If that fails then you might have to consider changing the battery.

My Iphone died last night and efforts to recharge this moring have been unsuccessful, so what next?
Keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. Can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

so i left my 5th genration ipod on last night when i woke up it was very hot so i let it cool down for hours it is compeletly clod right know and it wouldnt turn back on is it broken
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. From your descripion I suspect a hardware problem.

Last night my laptop died and the time and date was reset. I cannot acess date and time preferences to change it and my laptop is acting really weird. My CD drive is broken so there are no options to put in a cd. Please someone help i need my laptop for school and cannot afford another.
Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. Resetting the NVRAM and / or SMC will not fix it, and if the system has a preposterous date you may not be able to open System Preferences to correct it. This dilemma may or may not be addressed in a future OS X update.
If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 8 February 2014 then reverse the mm and dd values.
Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
mm = month
dd = date
hh = hour (24 hour format)
nn = minutes past the hour
yyyy = year
Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is February 8, 2014 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
sudo date 020821002014
or
sudo date 0208210014
Either one will work. If you enter nonsensical values the system will attempt to parse the entry correctly.
To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.
