    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • TS4223 i want to buy and HD movie but only show in SD on my appletv (ie: Wreck it Ralph)

    Say I buy an early release movie in HD, but my bandwidth at home is ok, but several people share it, so on my AppleTV I want the SD version to stream and not HD, how do I do this?

    1) i7-3520m is an i7 dual core CPU, if you choose this option then you would only use 2 of the 4 SODIMM RAM slots, and your max ram capacity is 16 gigs (2 x 8 gigs). If you choose the i7-3740QM, which is a quad core cpu, you would be able to use the 4 SODIMM RAM Slots for a max of 32 gigs of ram (4 x 8 gigs).
    Your XPS systems uses a desktop grade quad core CPU, and the laptop uses (if you choose the i7-3740QM) a mobile version, which is slower than the equivalent speed desktop CPU. The short answer is that you won't find a IVY Bridge Mobile CPU in the W530 that will be faster than the i7-3770. The i7-3940XM is the fastest cpu in the W530, and it is still slower than your i7-3770.
    http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core​+i7-3940XM+%40+3.00GHz
    2) RAM Cost slightly cheaper aftermarket.
    3) micro hdd is the mSATA, and in my opinion there is really no point getting 16 gigs version. I would rather pay 100 dollars aftermarket and get 120 gigs mSATA and use it as a SSD.
    4) for PS, the K1000m is enough, no point getting the K2000m.
    5) i would pay the 20 dollars and get the 6300 wireless card.

  • Imac g3 screen issues. (after attempting to upgrade.)

    Hello!
    I was installing mac osx on my failry old imac g3. It told me that my firmware needed to be installed. So I clicked restart. When it restarted, my screen didn't show up at all! I restarted again and my screen was faint, crooked and blue. Now I can't even run my original os9!
    Did I delete some kind of screen setting!?
    How should I fix this!?

    For a firmware update to be applied to such a machine, the machine has
    to be running/booted into OS 9.1/9.2; and support for the USB pen/flash
    drive would have to be working inside the computer to import from one.
    If the iMac G3 has FireWire ports, you could use a FW cable from another
    Mac and use that Mac to import the firmware update into the hard drive of
    the other computer; or use disk utilities of the proper type to attempt to
    repair the old iMac's hard disk drive before going further. Could be not
    only is the logicboard in jeopardy, the drive may also have issues.
    [In some cases, a dead or weak clock battery can also be a problem in
    the process of firmware updates and PRAM matters.]
    The incompatibility of pre-Firmware updated iMac G3s to properly
    display video is part of the symptom you get to experience in a sit-
    uation where the OSX was installed (or X disc was used to boot the
    computer, before firmware was updated in the running OS9 system.)
    A different hard drive with the OS9 system for the iMac installed on it
    with the Firmware Update on it, and put into the iMac could help in the
    process; but you'd have to run the Firmware update after the computer
    itself was physically installed in the drive to flash the computer's ROM
    and upgrade the bootROM firmware to 4.1.9 or whatever your's needs.
    A universally recorded CD-R would work in both a Mac and a PC; Mac
    users have been making these for years, usually on a Mac, of course!
    Discussions and ideas about the failed or non-applied firmware update:
    Firmware problem solver tutorial for slot-loading CRT iMac G3s:
    http://www.capecodgraphics.com/imac_firmware.htm
    http://www.capecodgraphics.com/pages/macintosh.html
    There are a few different approaches to attempting to solve this;
    one company has a special process and wanted to sell something;
    this following quote is someone's experience from the above link.
    "...I thought, what the heck, it's good as dead already... why not try one
    more thing? So, I held down the Programmer's button on the side of the
    iMac while starting it up.. and bingo! It didn't shut down this time! The
    screen was black, but it was up and running to some extent. I hooked up
    a PC monitor to the iMac and saw the Open Firmware screen. This was
    pretty exciting, until I realized that it was not accepting any input from the
    keyboard or mouse. What now? I stuck my OS 9.2 CD into the slot, did
    the "3 finger salute" reboot, held down the C key and prayed harder than I
    have in a while.... and eureka! The CD booted the iMac successfully! I
    was able to do a clean install of the OS to upgrade it from 9.0 to 9.2,
    restart the Mac; then upgrade its firmware..." -- may not be repeatable.
    Anyway, hopefully you get more feedback on this and a resolution solution!

    To whom it may concern
    Hi my name is Silvana Pires,I purchased an I Phone 4 S Model A 1387 EMC 2430 SCC.ID DCG E
    2430 AIC.579 C-E 243 A in California one year ago,Unfortunately its Not working well the screen is getting black,and the phone is in good shape I can prove it,the Apple support in Brazil doenst work like in USA.
    I look forward to your reply and a resolution of this problem.
    Thank you very much!!!

    You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
    (1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
    (2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
    (3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
    (4) Add some SARE rules:
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
    70sareadult.cf
    70saregenlsubj0.cf
    70sareheader0.cf
    70sarehtml0.cf
    70sareobfu0.cf
    70sareoem.cf
    70sarespoof.cf
    70sarestocks.cf
    70sareunsub.cf
    72sare_redirectpost
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
    backhair.cf
    bogus-virus-warnings.cf
    chickenpox.cf
    weeds.cf
    Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
    Then stop and restart mail services.
    There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

    Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

    You can't currently transfer content from one account to another account. As long as the tracks are on the computer's iTunes that they use/sync to, and your account is authorised on that iTunes, then they should be able to continue to use them.

    Shut down your computer and disconnect all peripherals (keyboard & mouse if pertinent) from your computer.  Now reboot.
    If the Mac starts up normally, shut it down again and then plug in one of the peripherals (keyboard or mouse first) and start up your computer again.  If it does so successfully repeat the process, adding one peripheral at a time until your Mac acts up.  At that point, disconnect the last peripheral you added, reboot your Mac and search the peripheral vendor's website for an updated driver. 
    If no driver exists or the problem remain after installing the new driver, try a different cable or a different port on your Mac.
    If none of the above works, again disconnect all peripherals from your Mac, hold down the "shift" key to start up in "Safe Boot" mode. 
    If the Mac starts up correctly, restart without pressing the "shift" key.
    If your computer still does not start up properly, shut it down and restart it while holding down the Apple+Option-P-R keys; keep holding "all 4 keys" down until you hear the startup sound "twice."
    If none of the above work Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    (If Disk Utility cannot repair, you will need a stronger utility (3rd party) - Diskwarrior or Techtool PRO)
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
    Remove any 3rd party ram.
    Reinstall Leopard - This will install a "fresh" copy Leopard without archiving old system files but leaves the rest of your files in place.
    If you still want to restore your computer to factory level...
    Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.
    To restore read the instructions in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard - Installation and Setup Guide  PDF

    How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
