Installed 10.8.1 and lost display on my MBP

I upgraded to 10.8.1 on my mid-2010 i5 MBP and once I logged in following the reboot, my display went black except for one line at the top. Resetting the PRAM seemed to be the only thing that got it back. Reboots alone did not help. I may back out 10.8.1 since it happened again later and, again, resetting PRAM seemed to get it back. It's been running fine for the last hour now. Not sure what may trigger it again. Anyone else see this?

If you backed up your phone before the update you can use itunes to restore from backup and should revert back to how everything was before see here
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    This is normal. OS X doesn't come with iLife apps, so you have to reinstall them after reinstalling Mac OS X.
    If your Mac came without DVDs or you purchased it after July 2011, you have to install the iLife applications from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto free of charge.
    If your Mac came with DVDs and you didn't purchase the iLife apps in the Mac App Store, insert the Applications DVD and install the iLife apps. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest iLife applications version

  • What did I do wrong? I used to have iTunes installed on this computer and lost it when it crashed. No I can't get past a certain point in the installation point. I keep getting an error message stating that I need to verify that I have access to this file

    Help!! What's going wrong here. I used to have iTunes installed on this computer but lost it when it crashed. I've tried re-installing it numerous times but I keep getting the same error message. "Error writing to file: C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes.Resources\es.lproj\iPadLicense.rtf. Verify that you have access to that directory." I know I have access to that directory because on a different computer I can sync my iPad and iPhone. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to go in and authorize or turn on? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • HP Special Edition L2000 --Installed Win7Home Edition- 64bit and lost audio.

    Installed Win7 Home Edition --64bit  on my HP Special Edition L2000 and lost audio.  Speaker icon has red X, and when hover over it, the text says "No Audio Output Device is installed".  (The previous operating system was XP-Pro, 32-bit).
    Have tried the driver update --SP30399.exe for the Conexant.   Scan shows no audio device at all, but no hardware has been changed.  Suggestions?
    Thanks,KBos

    Hello KBos,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you've upgraded the OS to Windows Vista from XP. That now you're having an Audio issue. I will try to help you with this.
    The driver update that you've run, was for XP. This could be why it never helped. On the HP site, there's no Audio Driver update for Windows.
    You can take a look at the following documents to see if what they suggest can  help you with resolving the issue.
    No Sound from the Speakers (Windows Vista)
    Resolving No Sound or Audio Problems (Windows Vista)
    Please let me know if this is able to help you out. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Remoed Hard Drive and Lost Display

    My daughter's black Macbook did the flashing question mark folder thing yesterday and the HD started making little clicking noises. No HD showed when using the Disk Utility on the Install DVD.
    I read about a guy who made things right by removing and reinstalling the HD, so I tried the same thing. Now the display stays black all the time.
    This is one of the original overheating MacBooks and was repaired by the store in Asuncion, Paraguay last year. Now this. Daughter distraught, wants a Windows machine. And I already went through the bad HD and logic board on an iBook. Fool me once...
    <edited by host>

    It sounds like your hard drive is faulty. Clicking noises from the hard drive usually mean bad things. When you removed the drive you either reinserted the drive incorrectly (upside down or not fully seated) or the drive finally died. I would suggest rechecking your work to see if you can get the machine to at least begin to boot. If the hard drive is seated correctly (check the RAM as well) and it still does not boot I would suggest removing the battery and power adapter and pressing the power button for 30 seconds. If still nothing then I would try a different hard drive or bring it to an Apple Store or certified repair shop to have them take a quick look at it.
    FYI, Apple uses standard hard drives that every manufacturer uses. If you did have another hard drive failure I would look at why the drives are failing. Living in Paraguay can be a large contributor to the failures. The heat and moisture in that part of the world can wreak havoc on computer parts. You might also look at how your daughter treats the machine. Moving or dropping the notebook while powered up will eventually cause a drive to fail.

  • I installed FF 4 beta and lost all bookmarks. Found a bookmark file dated today on hard drive but can't open it because it's a json file.

    Sorry, guys, I'm pretty lost. Spent the evening trying to redo a profile; found the profile on my hard drive but couldn't figure out how to change it back. I also read the FF help section quite a bit and '''tried''' to follow all directions but STILL can't do it.

    JSON is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON JavaScript Object Notation] format.
    You have to use the Firefox Bookmarks Manager to restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.

  • Help! Installed 10.4.7 and lost Finder and desktop

    Help! I just installed 10.4.7 update from Software Update and now I cannot access my Finder, hard drive or see anything on my desktop including my hard drive. I CAN get to and use everything in my dock except Finder. I tried installing the combo update, but since I cannot see anything on my desktop, I cannot tell if download even worked, much less access it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your suggestion. I don't have Disk Warrior or Tech Tools, but I did try running disk repair from the Tiger DVD and the repair stopped saying "The underlying task reported failure on exit"
    It also said Repair attempted on 1 volume, 1 volume could not be repaired.
    Before I upgraded to 10.4.7 everything on my computer was working beautifully, so I'm really stumped and not much of an expert on these issues...At this point I just want it back the way it was before.
    Do appreciate the help though!

  • Installed new '08 update and lost my '08 files

    So, I had played with designing an '06 before iLIfe '08 arrived. I installed '08 and got a few days into creating a new site. Things are going well...
    Today, I installed the update which said something about working with '06 stuff. Now, I open iWeb and it is back to my '06 stuff from a couple weeks ago.
    (I tried looking at the .sites2 -- found it, opened it and it was the '06 one. I guess this update "fixed" that.)
    I really need to get my '08 stuff back help

    First make a new folder on your desktop, go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb, copy the domain file and paste it into the new folder. You can put it in your Home folder and call it "iWeb Domain" or something exciting.
    If you have an external drive you can back it up there.
    You can download Apple's Backup 3 from .Mac and set it up to automatically backup your domain file - or anything else - to your iDisk.
    Login to .Mac at ....
    http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa/wa/login?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
    ..... click Backup - just below the calendar in the left column - where you can read all about it and download the application.
    You can set it to auto backup at any time interval you want and also backup manually by launching the application every time you make major changes to your website.

  • Installed New VGA Card and Lost Audio

    (Please forgive my ignorance or stupidity when it comes to any computer knowledge.  In 'Layman's Terms', I am what you would call an idiot when it comes to computers, sorry...)
    I just installed MSI VGA Card 'MD512D3', 512MB, DDR3 onto my HP Pavillion a1710n desktop computer that is running Windows 7 and after the installation, the first thing that I noticed was the fact that all of my computer's audio had disappeared.  I have been trying to trouble shoot the problem through various forums and I have tried pretty much every single solution that had been given to others with the same sort of problem.  But then it occurred to me, why don't I uninstall the new VGA card and run the computer without it like I had been doing before.  so I did the uninstallation and immediately, the audio drivers appeared in my Windows update and so now I have audio again on my computer.  But my question is this, the audio that I was using prior(and here is one of the times that you will need to forgive my ignorance), I believe they were analog.  The best way that I could describe them is that they had the connections to the computer that were color coordinated, i.e. "green" "pink" "blue", etc and I was primarily just using the "green" connection for basic stereo sound(nothing fancy).  I just happened to look at the box for the new VGA card and it specifies that it has HDMI Output which, if I am not mistaken, is a digital output that requires a completely different connection.  Can someone explain to me(in the most BASIC of terms), if this is, in fact, a digital output that requires a different set of speakers for audio or if I am able to use the 'analog' speakers that I currently have?  Now, keep in mind that I would LOVE to just go out and purchase the most expensive and up to date audio products but I am limited by my income...thanks in advance for any information that you are able to provide me...Dan

    The card supports Audio via HDMI. If you connect it via HDMI to a screen with speakers or speakers connected to the screen which is connected via HMDI the Nvidia HD audio is used. If Scrren has no speakers Nvidia HD audio can't be used. It should then use the soundcard or onboard sound of your board which the spreakers are connected to.

  • [SOLVED] Install xfce 4.10 and lost most permissions

    Hello all,
    I haven't used a DE before and decided to use xfce 4.10. Once I installed everything it seems to work properly but a few programs have stopped working without errors.
    My dropbox daemon isn't updating my folder, firefox addons are not working (only some), my sound works intermittently (might be a different problem) and I cant update deluge preferences.
    This looks like a classic permissions issue but I did nothing to the user.
    I am launching from XFCE panels, not sure if this is it. I also had not issues until the DE was installed. (I previously used awesome WM)
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!!
    EDIT:
    Turns out I am dumb and let my root directory run out of space. This made a lot of things run oddly. Also I updated my dropbox and it seems to be working quite well now!
    Sorry for the noise! :)

  • Installed photoshop cc (2014) and lost image processor from Bridge

    How do I get back Image Processor from the Tools drop down menu in Bridge?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bridge and Photoshop and have no positive results.

    I know some modules went kablooey when I uninstalled Photoshop CC 14.x but I fixed it by uninstalling everything and reinstalling.
    Maybe try the CC Cleaner Tool?
