Mac Dummy here. Need to know what the standard Display Setting is...

Hi, I just got a macbook and i know nothing about MAC. Anyways, I was playing with system preferences and by accident changed the display settings mode. I want it back to the origional way it was. What setting am I supossed to be on. Thanks in advance. Kim

You weren't very specific, but I have an idea of which settings you mean. The resolution should be 1200 x 800, colors should be "Millions," and if you click the "Color" tab in display preferences, it should be set on "Color LCD."

Having registry issues need to know what the backup disk contains PLEASE! Or any suggestions :) :)

So here's my issue I have really FUBAR'ed my laptop LOL. Basically my registry is gone kinda. I can't access any of the vital win7 programs ie Computer, IE9, Control Panel, any folders (documents, pictures music...) stuff like that. Now here's the kicker I can access my games from the start menu and some desktop shortcuts work. All the minor junk like calculator, notepad, wordpad etc. work. Hell I can even do remote desktop (weird I know). My net connection says that I am not connected however I actually am because I can access all of my files via my Desktop.
So here's what actually caused this. I downloaded and ran Cleanmypc registry cleaner ( I knew better shouldn't have touched this just a (insert choice word/s) to happen). I thought I was actually going to make it run faster after all the good reviews I poured over and didn't find any bad reviews. Before I even ran this I scanned it with Avast, Spybot, and Addaware just to make sure it wasn't full of crap!! Didnt find anything, so I continued. Ran it found several problems according to the product. Followed the instructions to the T. Let the program do a registry backup for me (I know what you are thinking I should have manually done it). My mistake. So I hit the inevitable fix all issues button and low and behold it ruined everything. I was unable to access anything and I mean everything. All my file associations where gone just like that period!!
I was even unable to run mypccleaner again. luckily though I was able to run the program via the run command kinda. The only part of the program that would actually work was the restore registry before the fix by using the backup file that the program made for me. Yea well that was a flipping joke it made it WORSE!
After all that and a few hours pouring over uneventful fixes I finally downloaded all the default registry values from Microsoft that they had for Win7 from another computer and luckily I was able to get them transferred over to my laptop (thank God for networks) But none of these files had any association so I had to manually add a few using CMD from a post that was buried in another forum until I could make a file association to regedit. Then I added the rest. So now my laptop is kinda working. I have access like I stated above but its only the minor stuff I have access to. I can't run any major program or it says no such interface supported.
So long story short I found an article here Repair Install that should work without losing everything (at this time I can't afford to do that have a DJ gig Saturday) but it says I have to have an original Win7 disk to be able to do it. So my question is if I order the backup disk from here will that disk allow me to be able to do this or am I going to have to find other means.
In all honesty if it wont that's fine I will take it and pay the money to get it repaired (don't really want to do that) as I need it in a couple days and the soonest I could have it back is two weeks. Yes I have a backup laptop but that one is down as well bad HDD LOL have to replace. Wishing now that I would have spent the money on that 1TB external HDD that I was looking at
So again my questions are. Is the backup disk that I can order from here going to be able to solve my problem and if not does anyone here have any solutions. I run VDJ Pro but it says that my soundcard isn't installed or my drivers are bad. So I tried to reinstall the drivers but windows can't find the installshield file to be able to do that. Or is there a backdoor to being able to run WMP (it's an option not a very good one but an option if I can get it to work).
Thank you for taking your time in reading this. I know it's long but I just wanted to get all the info out to anyone that might be able to help me resolve this. So any comment is appreciated again THANK YOU!! I am desperate please!
I am running Win7 Home Premium on a Toshiba L555D-S70005

I can't lose anything from my laptop. Never backed it up. .. ..pay the money for them to reinstall and back everything up for me.
No need for that, Richard. You can rescue all your important files by the following method. And then restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
1. Prepare a thumb drive formatted in FAT32. It doesn't need to be large. This stuff only occupies 130 MB on mine.
2. Download UNetbootin to create the thumb drive.
3. Download a Puppy Linux .iso file for the operating system.
4. Run Unetbootin-win-xxx.exe and point it to the Lupu-xxx.iso file to create a bootable drive.
5. When you power on your computer, hold down the F12 key. That should give you the opportunity to choose the boot drive.
6. For some tips, scroll down to the following sections at this web page.

HT2404 Hello totally new to mac computer,i need to know is the mac G5 obsolete,i have a chance to get one at a cheap price but it does not come with the os,where would i get os and which one? Thanks for any feedback!

No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.
•Drivers and Downloads for Printers, Scanners, & More - HP Support:

A link to Mac OS X Support's List Printer & Scanner software (HP+ Other)
•OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
{According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
•HP Support Forum - Home:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/?lang=en&cc=us
You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

I need to know what the part number is for a replacment hard drive chasis - 8460p

I need to order a replacment chassis that the hard drive screws into for the 8460p, does anybody know the part number for this piece?

Hi:
You are going to have to contact HP for that--1-800-334-5144.
The only parts listed in the service manual are for the actual hard drives.

I need to know what the inside of the AC Power Adapter Jack looks like

So, basically, the pins inside the "AC Power Adapter Jack" on my Flex 10 got a bit tweaked, and now the plug won't stay plugged in. If someone could just take a picture of there's, in nice and tight, I can bend them back into the position they need to be in. Please help.
Thank you.

Your statement makes no sense.
Have you tried basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide to rule out some setting in the device preventing the speaker from working?
Is the mute switch on?
Do other sounds work?
Does it produce sound with headphones plugged in?

What is the best display setting to have it on when connected to a TV?

I just bought a mini dvi adapter and I was wondering what the best display setting was to make it as clear as a possible.
I have it connected to a 52 in screen.
Thanks,
Sam

The best display setting is actually its native screen resolution, usually the max resolution is the native one, but double check it with the TV respectively site to get more accurate technical answer.
Good Luck.

You need to post your question in the Apple Developer Forums

I need to update my macbook but I need to know what software program to buy to update it. I am operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8

I need to update my macbook but I need to know what software program to buy to update it. I am operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to be up to date on all software updates at the end.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

I have a work Mac, an air book, a home Mac; husband has desktop and laptop. That makes 5. My work computer was replaced and I do not know what the company did with it. I am not allowed to deauthorize all. Any way around the year limit?

I have a work Mac, an air book, a home Mac; husband has desktop and laptop. That makes 5. My work computer was replaced and I do not know what the company did with it. I am not allowed to deauthorize all because I did this within the last year when I got my new airbook. Any way around the year limit? I don't know if I can find my old computer and I don't want to wait months to be able to play my ituens purchases on my new work computer.

If oyu already used up your "deauthorize all" option, you need to contact support so they can make an excemption:

I need to know what kind of photo paper to use on the HP Photosmart 375.

What are the specifications for photo paper to be used on the Photosmart 375. HP Advanced Photo Paper is too thick (66 lb) and won't feed through the printer. HP Premium Photo Paper (64 lb) will feed through the printer but the ink takes at least 2 hours to dry. HP sold paper in the past for injet printers which worked perfectly: it was the right thickness to feed through the printer and the ink dried instantly. Canon also sold similar paper, but both HP and Canon have changed the specs on their photo paper so that they no longer are suitable. So, I need to know what are the proper specs for a Photosmart 375 and where can I buy it. Shouldn't HP provide a suitable paper for its Photosmart 375 printer, as it did in the past?

I have had good results with HP Premium Plus Glossy photo paper. The Office Depot Brilliant Gloss Professional Photo Paper also works well for me.
In both the cases above I notice the packages have changed since I bought the paper, I do not know if this is still the same paper formulation I have.
For instant drying the HP Advanced Photo paper should be a good choice. You may need to clean the paper rollers if it does not feed properly. You can do this by gently releasing the catch on the right side (looking from the front, but the catch is on the back panel). This will allow the panel to lie flat exposing the rollers. These can be cleaned with a damp q-tip, remove any buildup on the rollers.
