Just got T440, can't open top/lid to turn it on
I just got my new laptop today - but I can't open it to turn it on. My old T61 has a little latch on one side you just flicked and it opened right up. This has two silver things on the front, but I've tried everything and I can't get it to open. I've pressed one, both at the same time, pressed hard, pressed lightly. Been trying to open for over 20 minutes now but it won't budge.
Will I have to send it back solely because I can't open it?
Solved!

Screen goes black, shut the lid for a few minutes, open the lid the turn on chime comes on and the screen comes back to life. The computer itself has continued to update just no screen. After a few minutes goes black again. Is logic board going bad or graphic card issue? Trying to decide if computer is worth repairing as it was made in 2007.
It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

Just updated to OS X 10.8.5 - and got "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CC..."
The full message is "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CC because it's not supported on this type of Mac." - why ?
I notice people had the issue back in June, but this after the new point update for Photoshop CC - the update was OK but I can't access the program and it's regularly used.It's OK now - but seems that it was tied in with the .5 OS X update for any future reference !!!!

Just got my ipod and it doens´t even turn on
I just got my Ipod Nano. I have itunes installed but it says that it can´t recognize my ipod right now. My ipod doesn´t even turn on. I haven´t seen a thing in it´s screen! My windows explorer doesn´t show my ipod too but when checking my computer configurations it says that I have a Apple Recovery connected to the USB.
I suspected it was battery but it´s connected to my computer for two hours now and NOTHING happened. I looked everywhere and called apple assistance (they´re not working today).
A help would be so much appreciated!!! I want to at least see my ipod turning on
Thanks!Where won't it let you flip the keyboard? What App? Does the screen rotate in Apps like Safari?
Its up to the particular App to have rotation enabled. If it doesn't then the screen will remain in the orientation the designers set.
And By the way: this is the iPad forum. The iPod forum is here:

Settings icon just jiggles. Can't open it.
When I attempt to open the settings icon so that I can turn off bluetooth, the icon just jiggles and I am unable to open settings. What can I do to solve this problem?
This is for the 6th gen nano
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4320
It says that if you touch and hold on an icon, they all start to jiggle, meaning you can move them around on the screen, or to the other screen. Once they are set as desired, "press the Sleep/Wake button to save."
I couldn't find the equivalent document for the 7th gen, but it is probably the same. -
I just received my ipad2 today, and did all the sync routine. The wifi is working, but I can't seem to access the net. I get an error message stating "Cannot open page, Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet." What am I doing wrong?
Tap Settings in the Home screen then tap General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Then restart the iPad. Press and hold down the Sleep / Wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to the right to power off, then hold down the Sleep / Wake button until you see the Apple logo.
If that didn't help, try the iPad Wi Fi help here. -
Just got one, can't get it to turn on!!! HELP!!
Yes i've gone through all the steps on this website. When i opened up my nano it worked up until i started putting songs on it. somewhere in between i had 57 songs on it when it stopped adding songs. it just says do not disconnect, and when i try to eject it it gives me a battery warning and goes back to 'do not disconenct' if i do disconnect it and start it up all it says is www.apple.com/support/ipod.
I've updated software, restarted, reset my ipod, all of this. what do i do???Hi strandy17,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try the reset again.
1) Slide the hold switch on, till you see orange.
2) Slide the hold switch to off (no orange).
3) Hold down the center (select) and Menu buttons at
the same time for 6 seconds (or more) and let go when
the Apple appears on the screen.
Gary
Gary,
Your advice about a nano that seemed dead was very helpful to me. I'm up and going again and grateful that I did not have to take it back to the store. Thanks.

my ipod 4g has the apple care for 1 year can you get a new one for it because something happen to it the mirrer broke yes or no
AIf the iPod broke because of a defect then yes, Apple will replace the iPod if it is within the warranty period. A broken/cracked screen is not covered. However, sometimes if you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store they will exchange your iPod at no cost if it has a broken/cracked screen.

My wife and I just got married, can we add our accounts/contracts together?
We have separate wireless plans and would like to merge our accounts. Can we do this without renewing our contracts or getting a new line added?
Thanks in advance!Search for "Assumption of Liability" on the Verizon Wireless website. That's what you can do to merge your two lines into one account.

I have a very large music library 500 GB on an external drive how do I get it on my brand new iMac intel
This article should help. You didn't mention what format the files are in and what format the external hard drive is, however this article povides the basics. You're probably most interested in the last section titled 'Adding content on your computer to iTunes'.

Having trouble installing my Canon Printer MG3560 to my Macbook. Have put software disc in but then it comes up with that comment.
~Bee,
I mentioned the Australian Canon download site because the MG3500 series printers are not mentioned in Apple's OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download page. The MX890 series is, so of course it needs no driver or additional software. -
I have been into Icloud and under 'Storage & Backup' and 'Manage Storage', I can see that my last phone was backed up a day before it was broken. I just cant find the option to transfer that data such as all my pictures and videos onto my new phone. My Notes and contacts have just transferred automatically and strangely, my old photo's that were taken and assigned to certain contacts are now assigned to my new phone as was, but they dont appear in my photo library anywhere. What do I need to do?
Hello again. Just to let you know I have solved the problem. Backed up my new phone. Then wiped all settings and everything off it to start again. When it relaunches it gives you the option to download from Icloud and you can pick from which back-up date you want to download it from. Picked the one from the day before it got trashed and HEY PRESTO, we have all the pictures and videos back!!! Iphone 0 - 1 Voodooboy78
I'm sure people will look at this and be like duhhhhhh but to me it is a VICTORY over technology!!! Peace -
please help battery draining sofast I just got the phone month ago
If you have Bluetooth turned on, turn it off. If I forget and leave Bluetooth on, it drains my battery about twice as fast as when it is off.
Turn off Background App Refresh in Settings>General
Turn off any location services that you do not need on under Settings>Privacy>Location Services (I have Location Services turned on, but in the Apps list below the button, I have very few turned on - Compass, Maps, Google Earth, Google Maps, Siri, Starbucks, and Weather).
Cheers,
