Mac does not identify projector anymore.
Until recently, I used my Mac as a DVD-player and connected it to a projector to watch my movies. Suddenly my Mac can identify it anymore. The projector itself still works fine. I've tried to change the HDMI cable but that didn't make any difference. I have not yet bought a new mini VGA to HDMI adapter to see if that is the poblem, but I somehow doubt that that would be it.
Whenever I plug in the cable into my mac, the computer seems to react to it but it never goes any further than that. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I've come across the same problem recently. My MBP Mid-2010 OS: 10.6.8. does not recognize projectors for .ppt presentation through RGB adaptor neither my tv through the HDMI adaptor. These adaptors worked for more than a year without any problems... up to now.
Although there is a fraction of seconds when I see my desktop projected on the linked device, it disapeared and there are no clues suggesting a device is connecting to the MBP (or the opposite). It's like both devices does not detect each other at all...
I'll really need this fix for work and home entertainement purposes.
Please help.

I-Mac does not startup anymore since a power failure.
My I-Mac does not start up anymore since there was a general power failure in house.
After power came back I disconnected the power cord for 1 hour and thereafter tried again.
No results.
What can I do now ?
Thanks for help.One thing to remember, after the computer has been unplugged for a while and then you plug it in, WAIT for maybe 10 or more seconds before you try to start. I have had a few ocassions where going directly from plug in to power button would not bring the computer up.
Just for info, what happens when you HOLD the "Apple" key also called Command Key before powering up and continuing to hold it for maybe 30 seconds? That should bring up a list of all available boot sources. That would include a Recovery Partition which would then allow you to do a permissions repair (via disk utility) and Verify disk.
You could also hold the "T" key while booting up until a "Y" Firewire symbol appears on the screen. That would convert your computer into an external Firewire drive which could be plugged in via a Firewire cable, to another MAC and let you retrieve files from your computer's hard drive.
Both of these options are based on the power supply and logic board still working. If you do not get those indications, then a trip to the repair center is probably in order. -
I update my Mac to version 10.9.2 and now my printer does not work anymore. I did all the software updates and I do not understand why my mac does not recognize the printer anymore?
Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

Web.show_document does not open browser anymore
We upgraded our production database over the weekend from 10g to 11g. When it was still 10g, our Forms application used to open a PDF embedded in IE. After moving to 11g, it does not open IE anymore and shows no error messages. Clicking the button with the web.show_document command does nothing. Our test database is also 11g but does not have this problem. What could have gotten wrong?
I can't explain why it seems to started failing all of a sudden. We often hear comments like this only to later discover that either someone else made changes of which you are unaware or possbily a software update occurred automatically. For example, the JRE version may have been auto-updated.
As for recoding in an alternative fashion, it will be difficult for me to say specifically because I don't know the app nor do I know your needs. The biggest, and it isn't all that big, deal will be to identify from where the pdf being opened comes from. In other words, does it already exist on the client machine or is it downloaded to the client from the/a server? Also important to know is whether or not the file name is known or not.
So, if you want to change the code, first figure out how you want the application to complete the task. Here are my suggestions:
Suggestion 1.
<blockquote>If the file (pdf in your case) originally resides on a remote server, then leave it there. The document can be opened using a direct url to the file on the remote server. For example:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://server/somepath/my.pdf','_blank');If the file lives within the Forms directories, you can even use a relative path rather than the fully qualified one above. For example, if the files live in \forms\java\foo then you can do this:
-- The exact entry may differ slightly depending on which
-- Forms version you are using and where you locate the files
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/forms/java/foo/my.pdf','_blank');This makes the application a little more flexable given that you would not need to change the app code if the server name changed. Once the file has been opened on the client side, whatever pdf reader the end-user is using will offer a "Save" option. So if they choose to save the file locally, they can do so as they desire.</blockquote>
Suggestion 2.
<blockquote>If, for whatever reason, the file is downloaded to the client or just happens to already exist on the client, you can use WebUtil's CLIENT_HOST (or WEBUTIL_HOST.HOST) command to open the file locally. There are several ways to do this and which method you choose will depend on a few factors. For example, are all the client machines Windows based? I will assume, for this example that the client machines are Windows based. And, because I like to write code as generically as possible, here is a way to open documents on Windows without the need to know which application normally handles it. In other words, you don't need to know that it will be Adobe Acrobat that opens pdf files or that MS Word will open doc files.
-- In this example, the value of myPathAndFile is the path and filename.
-- For example, myPathAndFile := 'C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\Documents\foo.pdf';
CLIENT_HOST('rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL '|| myPathAndFile);This is a bit of an old school way of accomplishing the task, but it is very effective and flexiable. Alternatively, you could use CLIENT_HOST to directly call the file, but this may not always work. For example:
CLIENT_HOST('C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\Documents\foo.pdf');</blockquote> -
If Apple does not sell leopard anymore?
Since Apple does not sell Leopard anymore is there anything wrong with just installing Snow Leopard?
It doesn't matter what marketing says. It matters what the Software License Agreement states, which is this:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Single Use License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, unless you have purchased a Family Pack or Upgrade license for the Apple Software,you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at a time. Youagree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the AppleSoftware to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiplecomputers at the same time.
B. Family Pack License. If you have purchased a Family Pack license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-branded computers at a time as long as thosecomputers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share thesame housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium, but shall also extend to student members who are primary residents of thathousehold but residing at a separate on-campus location. The Family Pack License does not extend to business or commercial users.
C. Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you aregranted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer as long as that computerhas a properly licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it. If you have purchased a Family Pack Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subjectto the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on up to amaximum of five (5) Apple-branded computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household (as defined above), are used by personswho occupy that same household, and each such computer has a properly licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it. The Family Pack Upgrade forMac OS X Leopard License does not extend to business or commercial users.
The only license which requires Leopard installed is the Leopard Upgrade License. Nobody sells these.
If you go to the Apple Store and select the Snow Leopard product, there are two options to purchase Snow Leopard, Single User and Family Pack. There is no option to purchase a Leopard Upgrade. Therefore, there is no requirement to have Leopard installed per 2.A. and 2.B. above. -
Mac does not detect Blackberry
My Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) does not detect my Blackberry Curve 9300 (3G).
On my phone i'm running OS 6.
A couple of days ago i installed Blackbery Desktop Software because i wanted a back up of my blackberry.
But the software did not recognize my phone, neither would my laptop.
In the past i used to connect my blackberry with my laptop to transfer music, but not with the software, just with finder.
I remember my phone would ask if i wanted it to connect as a usb station, sync media or just charge it.
But now it does not ask that anymore. My device charges when i connect it to my Macbook but it doesn't pop up in finder and the Blackberry software doesn't detect it.
I already reinstalled the software on my mac but it didn't solve the problem, can anyone help me with this?Desktop Manager 2.0 is the latest version for Mac.

My mac does not see my printer

Is the printer physically connected to the computer with a cable, or is it wireless. Did you install the printer drivers from the manufacturers web site, for your specific OS?

I use different languages in my daily activities, when typing other than English Mac does not recognize them, is there anyway can Mac stop suggesting or automatically correcting me?
Is this a problem with the computer or with the word processor? MS Word for example seems to think its grammar and spelling are better than mine - they are not. You have to go into MS Word preferences and uncheck all the useless "help" it wants to provide.

Hi... I would like to purchase a Tablet Sony Xperia Z 2 10.1 (the last one of the Z series) and I was told that Adobe does not support Sony anymore.... I need to be able to open and read Adobe PDF files and I would like to know if this tablet can still use Flash Player...
Is there anyo who can help me with this? I asked in the shop and I was told "yes of course" , but when I contacted Sony directly I was advised to check with Adobe as apparently in the recent months Adobe and Sony haven't been getting along anymore...You may be mixing up two entirely different Adobe products.
1. Adobe Flash Player. Needed to view web pages designed with Flash. Not needed to view PDF files. Not available for Android (not just Sony).
2. Adobe Reader. Reads PDF files. However, the Android can also read most PDF files without needing Adobe Reader. -
want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help to do this please
If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

Mac does not list all folders in a SMB share
Hi guys, this is a bit of a weird one and I've tried everything I can think of.
In our house we have a media centre running Windows 7. It has several shares, one of which we'll call folder "X". Folder X opens correctly on the media centre, and any other Windows machine perfectly. Almost every other machine in the house is running OS X 10.6, and one of my housemates today noted that some of the folders inside of folder X were not listed on a Mac. So far we've tested it on 2 Macs and 2 Windows machines, and everytime the Windows machine lists all folders inside of X, where the Mac does not. The weird thing is, it's cutting them out alphabetically, so it's basically from D through to I that are missing, all in all there are 30 (out of 160) folders missing inside of Folder X...here's what I've tried.
On the Windows 7 machine:
-Restarted server service
-Removed Share X and re-added
-Checked share permissions on folder X
-Checked permissions on folder X, propagated to all child folders just in case.
-Restarted machine after every change.
On the Macs we haven't really tried much as there's not much we can think to change. We've tried Finder, Path Finder (which I'm guessing will be exactly the same), restarting, removing from workgroup and re-adding...I can't think what would cause such a weird problem.
To make things harder we don't know exactly when it started happening but the OSX machines definitely used to list the folders and it happens on more than one mac. which I guess makes me think it's something on the Windows client. The 30 folders are not using any nonstandard characters, some are only a few letters long.
Ideas on a postcard!?Reporting the same problem.
1. Have Windows 7 MediaCenter with file sharing set up properly (LM+NTLM Authentication allowed and 128-bit encryption disabled in security policies).
2. Test folder ("C:\income") and all the subfolders' owner is 'Guest', full access is granted for everyone.
3. Connecting to MediaCenter from MacBook with Finder by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income
4. Finder connects successfully, but some sub-folders and files are not being listed.
Workaround:
5. You can open a not-listed folder directly by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income/some-invisible-folder
6. Voila! You're inside invisible folder.
In the meantime, i can see all the sub-folders on a Windows XP client machine, so i can make a conclusion that all of these 'invisible' sub-folders are actually accessible by Finder, but in some reason are just not being listed on Mac. -
My iphone 5 does not turn on anymore. when i plug the charger in the apple icon turns on and off but the home screen never shows up.what do i do to fix it? how can i get my info back?
from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

Backlight does not turn on anymore Satellite M70-147
Hello outhere,
The backlight of my M-series M70-147 does not turn on anymore.
I first noticed this when awakening the laptop from standby or hibernation mode.
At first I thought the screen was not working anymore, but when I looked closely I could still make out the icons on the desktop vaguely. So at first I rebooted the laptop and then most of the times the backlight would turn on and stay on.
But now it does not do that anymore, not even when I close the screen (to force standby mode) and then open it again, the backlight won't turn on.
I also looked at other forums and topics what the cause might be, a broken backlight or a faulty power inverter.
So can anybody with the symptons described tell me what the cause might be?
I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with the graphics card because when I hooked on my laptop to my dads LCD monitor it just displayed the desktop of my laptop on the LCD monitor. Also the first time I did this after pressing Fn-F5 a few times the screen of my laptop would come on some times. But now it does not do that anymore.
So can anybody with the symptons described tell me what the cause might be?
Many thanks.> So can anybody with the symptons described tell me what the cause might be?
For me it looks like a faulty FL inverter.
The FL inverter is a small part behind the display frame and it controls the backlight.
Usually the external display should work properly because the FL inverter affects the internal display only...
However, the issue can be solved only by replacement of this part.
I recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP in your country to get this part replaced
