Just a little concerned...

I have a brief story to precede my question. Bear with me.
I just bought a MacBook less than a month ago, and until this past Saturday, everything worked fine. Last week, I traveled to Atlanta for a conference, and stayed in a hotel that offered free wireless internet. AirPort and my MacBook functioned well all week, but when I returned home and accessed my local wireless network, I was unable to access the internet. When I tried to quit Mail and Safari, all I got was the "spinning color wheel of doom," letting me know that the system was unresponsive. I had to force quit all applications. I then restarted my computer, only to have the same thing happen again upon reboot. I finally shut the computer down altogether. Later, I turned it back on and was able to access the internet as if nothing happened.
Fast forward to yesterday. I used my MacBook all day long without incident while traveling for my work. Once I got home, I tried again to access the internet, and was successful. After I put the MacBook to sleep, my wife got onlne to check her mail, and turned AirPort off after she was finished. Later, when I needed to get online again, I turned AirPort on and opened Safari. I was told that I could not access the internet, so I looked to make sure that I was online with my network. I was, so I shut down Safari and Mail, but only got the "spinning color wheel of doom." I had to Force Quit Safari, Mail, and Word. Then, when I tried to open any program, the icon would simply bounce up and down in the Dock...but it would never open. And when I tried to Restart, it locked up, and I was forced to Force Shut Down.
What is wrong with my MacBook? It's less than a month old...it shouldn't be having these problems! What should I do?

You might want to contact Apple support. You have 90 days free phone support. Might as well tke advantage of it. One thing you also might want to try is repair permisions and repair disk. You do thin in disk utility. If there are any problems in verify disk you will need to run disk utility from the install disk.

  • [Thinkpad Yoga] Just a little bit of baby pee: few keys kaput!

    Hi,
    The other day our baby peed on my laptop. I don't know whether it was on purpose, he just tells me brrrruu. Now, these keys are not working: Backspace, Left Shift, Esc, Tab, T, Y, [ and ].
    I had this before, with just a little bit of water, exactly the same. Then they replaced the keyboard. Unfortunately I cannot send it back for repairment.
    What to do? I've heard of trying to clean it with a pressured air can, I'll try to find that one. Any ideas?
    Btw, I thought thinkpad keyboards were water proof?

    Your baby is quite precocious by so eloquently expressing his opinion about your TP... :-)
    As the human urine does contain conductive and corroding salts (more than the sea water), I'd open my TP, take the KB module out and try to wash it with distiled water. Then let it dry and put it back.
    This should gently dissolve and remove the potential shortcircuits, w/o the aggressivity of pure alcohol - professionally used for quick repairs in such case. Also the smell will vanish ;-).
    Strong opinions are costly, particularly when the point is made with bodily fluids :-)

  • I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

    Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
    You could try a reset:
    - hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
    - the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
    If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
    All the best

  • I have an iPhone 5.  always before when i called someone..or they called me the picture of them would take up the whole screen.  I LOVED it!  I could see it.  Since the last update it is just a little "bubble" in the upper right hand corner.  Can i change

    Hi  I have an IPhone 5.  Always before when I called someone...or they called  and I had a pic set up for them in my contact list..... it would pop up the full size of the screen.  I LOVED it!  I could actually see it.  Now...since the last update...or maybe the one b4 that.... The pic is just a little bubble that floats to the upper right hand corner.  Does anyone know if there is a way I can get that full size pic back?

    I'm sorry, there is no way to change that. It is a change with the newer iOS 7. You can provide feedback to Apple, like a large group of others have that are disappointed in this at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

  • How to export just a little piece of a comp?

    Can I export just a little piece of the comp rather than "Export active comp to new track" which delivers the whole comp?
    After I comp my take and then listen to it again, sometimes I just want to go back and change one little part. The workflow would be alot easier if I could just export a small part, either with the loop indicator or another way.
    Thanks.

    Try hold the shift key while comping. This allows you to adjust the boundaries of one take, without filling in the area from another take. You can make holes, or create a comp with just one phrase. You'll probably end up with a couple of really narrow slices on a couple takes in the middle of a blank area - just grab and move them all the way to the edge with the regular swipe tool. Also when you now export, or move, this comp you may end up with a couple extra regions on the very front and back of the whole take area, but those are easy enough to delete.

  • I am just a little embarrased... i have a new dell and an old ipod.  i want to put a cd in my dell and copy it onto my old ipod...dell and apple do not seem to be talking to each other... how in **** do i do this!

    i am just a little embarrased... i have a new dell and an old ipod.  i want to copy a cd from my new dell onto my old ipod but absolutely nothing comes up on the screen to do this....

    You will first have to install the OS that shipped with the Mac. After that, you can upgrade it to Mavericks.

  • I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if i phone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.

    I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if the iphone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.

    It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

  • I am developing a site where the content is 1300 pixels in depth but the browser background is 2500 pixels in depth. I want the browser background to be just a little longer than the content, but cannot seem to make that happen. Does anyone have an idea

    I am developing an iWEB site where the content is 1300 pixels in depth but the browser background is 2500 pixels in depth. I want the browser background to be just a little longer than the content, say about 1340 pixels, but cannot seem to shorten the browser measurements. Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem?   I have tried to make height adjustments in the Page Layout section of the Inspector, but content height heading has no affect on anything.  I have built about 75 sites in iWEB and this is my first experience like this.

    It means you should take it to the Genius Bar. You will no doubt need to buy an out of warranty replacement.

  • Just a Little Humor, Please?

    I installed Yosemite on my iMac, recently.  As far-as _I_ can tell Mac OS X v10.10 works as-promised.  :-)
    About its name, I _like_ to think:  Yose-Mite, as 2 separate words.  What can I say?  I break things down, well!  :-)
    I may as-well brag a little:  I live hard-wired to the Internet.  SpeedofMe just-listed my speed of Upload as 2.17 Mb/s & my speed of Download as 6.29 Mb/s.  :-), I think.
    As-is usual, I invite your comments.  Thank you.

    This is probably very simple.
    How do you take the text from a textfield in one class
    and set it to another textfield in another class when
    a button is pressed in the first class.Yup:
    class one:
    in it's constructor, or in a method, make an argument a Textfield.
    Create class two first, use 'getter' method. If a third class (main)
    exists..have it add two's textfield to one..
    //method in one
    public void addTextfield(TextField tf)
    {this.tf=tf;}class two:
    //method in two
    public TextField getTextField()
    //return a TextField
    }In class one:
    -implement ActionListener.
    -mybutton.addActionListener(this);
    //again, class one
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
    if (ae.getSource()==mybutton)
    tf.setText(mytextfield.getText());
    }Simple, right?

  • Just a little problem

    When I am playing my music through iTunes 7 the song, that I am playing, randomly seem to skip down a few places. It's kind of hard to explain and I hope I am not making it too difficult to understand.
    E.g
    Say I am playing - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, these are the normal track listings -
    1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
    2. With a Little Help from My Friends
    3. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
    4. Getting Better
    5. Fixing a Hole
    6. She's Leaving Home
    7. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
    8. Within You Without You
    9. When I'm Sixty-Four
    10. Lovely Rita
    11. Good Morning Good Morning
    12. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
    13. A Day in the Life
    Say I start playing "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" it will jump down to track 8 (or anywhere down the list). It may seem like a small problem but it makes it unable to play an album straight through! It jumbles everything up
    It only happens when I am playing my ipod through the PC and my music list is sorted by 'Album '. Not when I sort by 'Album by year' or 'Album by Artist'
    Thanks in advance
    Windows XP

    I've had exactly the same problem, but have worked out how to fix it. I'm not sure if this the best, or indeed most logical, way to fix it, but it seems to work.
    Select all the tracks in an album which is misbehaving, right-click and "Get Info", and then add an entry in the new "Album Artist" section. Any old text will do. When you choose "OK" to accept the changes, the album's order will return to normal.
    I did this with hundreds of albums yesterday before it occurred to me that maybe it would be possible to just select every song in the music library at once, and just type a a generic description in the "Album Artist" section. I haven't tried this, so don't do it unless you're 100% sure of what you're doing, but it does sound like a logical step.
    Si.

  • Can't Blackberry Share Just A Little Info?

    I'm in Phoenix, AZ USA. Trying to find any information about buying the Passport is like asking about an NSA project.
    1. AT&T's web site has not one iota of info about the Passport, and all the local AT&T stores say "We know nothing." Chen said we'll be able to buy at AT&T. What up?
    2. Where are the white Passports? Will Blackberry offer the Passport in colors other than black? If so, which colors and roughly when?
    3. Will Blackberry stand behind the Passports they sell online if there are compatability issues with AT&T (such as visual vouce mail, LTE problems, etc. as are surfacing)?

    1. Its up to ATT when they want to release the blackberry passport just have to be a little patience.
    2. Yes blackberry passport will come in white & black as their were demo version of it at the blackberry passport announcement events. Not sure yet when it will be release. Since ATT is exclusive carrier maybe they will carry the white passport .

  • I got my iPod just a LITTLE wet, and it don't work?

    I spilled a whole cup of tea on my purse, and my iPod was in it; the touch screen works, but only a little bit. I can only move the  "swipe to unlock" button halfway, and then it stops working. Does anyone know how i can fix this? I'm clueless, and really love this iPod & can't afford another one

    Put it in a bag along with a small amount of silica gel, leave it there for a week, it may or may not recover, baking powder also works but whichever you use make sure to put it in something that doesn't spill over the ipod

  • A serious question  ,could someone help me please just a little problem

    this is a program to let me open a file and read birthday and related name, and then type name we can fetch the birthday, everything is ok ,whenever i input a name, it always find nothing, can some experts help me please
    there are three class i defined, one is birth_reader, another is date to record the date have been read from specified file, one is the name stored firstname and last name, the file my lecture give me is just a simple txt file which is example like:
    1 31 1984 robin ralu
    i realised maybe i shoud add a equals() to test ,but how can i do that , i have really no idea
    please

    return year;
    public int getmonth()
    return month;
    public int getday()
    return day;
    }

    Why do you suppose you should add an equals method?
    In what class would you add it?
    How would that change the behaviour of your code?
    What else should you keep in mind when overriding equals?
