HELP?
thanx a bunch!

Hi viish and welcome to the discussions
It would be worth checking that the memory chips are bedded into their sockets properly - see the instruction booklet that came with the machine on how to remove the memory card.
The other cause could be the Graphics Processor itself and that is a job for an Apple trained technician.

Creative Cloud desktop App for Mac crashes and does not work

Installed creative cloud for MAC (running OSX 10.9). App does not run. I see the Creative Cloud icon at top of screen (in menu) for about 0.5 seconds then it disappears. No error messages or warnings. I have tried to uninstall and install the desktop app many times with the same results. It appears there is no way to download the LR CC and PS CC that I paid for.
I have even tried to run this from another dmim account. Same error.
I have run disk utility - repair disk and repair permissions.
Please can someone help me with this issue?
Thank you.

Are you getting Error code 1 while running CreativeCloudInstaller.dmg file ?
If so , follow below steps :
Important : Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud setup, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon from Activity monitor.
1)
Click on the Finder and look for the options listed next to Apple Icon located at the top left corner of the Desktop screen and click on "Go" menu button and select "Utilities" option.

Windows 8 - SC6 started doing weird things, not working correctly

Windows 8 and CS6 - Liquifying tool not working and and actions not working correctly, back ground screen flickers and changes color and does weird things. I have done a complete D&R and it does the same thing. Someone with the same problem suggested a D&R and deactivate, then reinstall and reactivate, could this possibly work? if so, how would you do that? Thanks

Yes, one I can think of. Get the make and model of your video card and head over to the card manufacturer's website.
Check for and install the latest drivers for your card.
Also see if changing the settings of your GPU helps. Uncheck everything (OpenCL Anti-alias 30 bit displays) and start at Basic. then work your way up to Normal and Advanced.

Is Adobe Photoshop cs3/10 still being supported? Mac crashed and need to get up and running again.

Is Adobe Photoshop cs3/10 still being supported? Mac crashed and need to get up and running again. Thank you for any info on cs3. mayord

I believe if you were to ask Adobe Support they would tell you that CS3 is no longer supported by their services, if that is what you are refering to when you say "being supported". That means they are not likely to offer assistance with you re-establishing it.
But you can probably re-establish it yourself. If you need to download it there is a place for that available:
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

I already restarted the computer... and the movies are not available on iTunes anymore.
Very disapointing...

You don't redownload them or get a refund.
You buy one download only. It is your responsibility to backup your purchase.

HT203433 roughly 30% of my songs do not automatically download but the rest do. and if i try to retrieve from cloud...the same "network refused" error message appears. yet my other mac works perfectly doing same thing.

IPod nano does not appear in iTunes AND Mac computer - AND does NOT load

My nano worked out just fine for a month until one day - when I wanted to charge the battery - it just did not appear in iTunes, nor on my desktop. I tried the 5 Rs, but can't restore, of course, because my mac does not recognize the nano. As soon as I plug in the nano to my mac, it is stuck on "Do not disconnect" and does not charge. I'm tired of resetting and plugging the USB cable in and out. Please, help!
What else can I do? Does it make sense to send my nano back and have it inspected? Does Apple charge for technical support?
I'm thankful for any kind of reply.
iBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

me again.. hey did you guys work out how to get around it at all? I'd so love some adivce. I think i'm going crazy ay. I've also tried all the things mentioned in the above link given by another member..with no luck. May be its possible that there's not enough space on my computers hard drive to recognise the ipod???? Plus when i did originally download the software from out of the box, it didn't allow me to select where i wanted to put this software and just said it was putting it on my hard-drive anyway. I would of liked to have positioned it somewhere, so i knew where to find it and too make sure it was all there n ok.
I look forward to hearing form ANYONE with some tips :o)
Thanks again

My ipod does weird things

So I have a 30g video ipod that I have had for about a year now. Lately it has been doing so really weird things. It will be fully charged but run out of battery in thirty minutes or less, and it takes it anywhere from ten to fifteen seconds atleast to do anything. Play a song, pause a song, go through menus, everything. I was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas as to what is wrong or what I can do. My last resort would be sending it to apple.

Well, after getting NOWHERE with online help, I sent in my iPod for repair. After having it out of my possession for about 5 days Apple happily informed me that nothing is wrong.
Yet, SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!
It still doesn't "start"* my iTrip. Even though mine works fine on my wife's Nano. And even though hers doesn't work on mine. And even though it doesn't always get recognized by the computer when plugged in. And even though when it does get seen by iTunes, iTunes (about half the time) thinks it is corrupt and needs to be reformatted.
Oh, and now it doesn't charge through the iTrip port anymore.
But hey, nothing is wrong.
Anyone with anything helpful?
And before anyone suggests it again, I've restored the thing several times.
*By start I mean that the iTrip (LCD) will turn on and begin transmitting. Most of the time I have to fiddle with turning the iPod off and on and/or resetting it to get it to finally work. That process usually takes about 15 minutes or so.

I bought my Iphone 5 a week ago, now suddenly my sound is gone when i play games, i checked everything and the weird thing is that when i put my headphone in i CAN hear the sound when in games, also he just plays music whitout my headphone. What could it

Hello so as you can see in my question i have troubles with my sound
I cant hear annything of my sound in game and i did check everything
The weird thing is that when i put my headphone in i do hear the sound
Also my music plays without my headphone
Wat can it be ? Pls help !

Ok, a little clarification then, you can hear music fine with the speaker and headphone? You can hear a game's music fine with the headphone but not with the speaker? Do you get the notification sounds ok with the speaker?
If the speaker sound is acceptable with everything except the game then there is a problem with that game and its settings.
If that is the case, you might want to try deleting the game and then downloading and reinstalling the game to see if that helps the problem.

Lines on LCD and a Weird Thing

Today, after I've applied the invisibleSHEILD to my iPod Touch I started to notice lines or streaks on the screen. There's about 8 of them and at different angles I see different colors. Such as the one that runs right across the music App. At one angle it's light orange and light brown and at another it's dark orange and dark brown. They're happening every where. When I turn my iPod completely off they're still there but instead they're in shades of gray. So I supposed that it's the liquid from the invisibleSHEILD but the lines stop at the end of the clear part of the glass, not the black part.
As for the weird thing after I finished putting on the invisibleSHEILD I could push the bottom-left corner of my iPod Touch screen into the device almost a millimeter. All the other corners were fine and stable. The screen was actually going inside!

Hi micsmith66!
Thank you for posting to our forum! It is very difficult to say whether or not this had anything to do with living near the beach. This will need to be checked out by our Factory Service Center. To start the repair process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website.

IMac Alu 2007 crashed and does not startup anymore

Hello
I have a iMac alu 2007 with OS 10.6.8
Yesterday evening, it suddenly crashed and I did not manage to start it again.
Actually, during one second (not more) it seems OK , I can hear the noise from superdrive but then nothing happens. When I place my hear on the computer, I can hear a little noise (crakkling) telling me it powered but nothing more, nothing on screen, no boot.
I have tried to unplug during 15 s but no change.
I have also tried to boot on one external disk but nothing.
my last hope was a stop because of too high temperature but it does not work also this morning.
Any idea ?

Hi,
did u boot through firewire or usb ?
Try to boot from cd and holding down the "c" key when u start the computer. Is it working ?
try this link:

It could be that your hard drive crashed, that is one of these crakkling noises.
