Mac wont mirrow on TV
Evening! I have had the mavericks update since it's release. Before the update, I was able to plug my MBP (2010) into my tv using a vga and adapter, then used an audio wire in my headphone jack. This system always worked great. Now, only the audio works. My mac screen will go grey as if it was trying to display, but my tv says no input. I have read numerous forums, and nothing.. I have tried resetting the NPRAM, nothing.. Please Help! Thanks!
About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Using AirPlay
Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Other solutions are the Air Parrot, StreamToMe, and AirServer.

My Mac wont let me download anything, even software updates. it runs the whole download then restarts but tells me an error has occurred.
Please help! Nothing will download and i have a loading bar on start up!!!
The mac hasn't ever given me any problems, it has been since plugging my new iphone 4s into it,
As i havent had internet at my home for quite some time i dont know whether the fact the iphone was at a much newer version than the mac it confused itself????? help me please!?Hi there,
If you go to the Apple equivalent of: Appdata\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates (sorry am a mere PC user )
If there is a file titled iphone1,22.1_5F136Restore then try deleting it and then running iTunes without your iPhone attached.
Go to the menu and select Help/Software Updates which should then notify you that there are updates and allow you to download them in advance of restoring.
Hopefully this will download the update. Once completed attach the iPhone and restore.
Hopefully this might sort your issue out.

I my mac wont recognise my password, i have tried to reset password using single user but my mac wont stop at single user it just continues to root, how do i get it to stop at single user so i can add info needed to reset password?
Are your sure that wasn't a Verbose boot (Cmd-V) you were trying? That would go on to a regular boot.
Try a PRAM Reset, then try the single user, Cmd-S, at the startup chime. For the PRAM Reset, hold down Option - Cmd - P - R all together until it chimes a total of three times, then let go to finish booting. -

G5 mac wont boot up past white apple screen
My kids mac wont boot up past the white apple screen. I can here everything running but the monitor starts to get all static and scan lines with a reddish tint to it. I tried the commandoption+pr but it still wouldn't boot-up past the white apple screen. Not sure what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hi there Peter,
Not cheap anyway you look at it sorry, professional Data Recovery being the most expensive.
Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, and the only other Apple Options are erasing the HD, or installing OSX to a second drive, then using Migration Assistant to move stuff over to the new HD.
If Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

This one would require another HD with plenty of space to recover to.
You should use another Boot Disk or other Mac with this one in Target mode to do the recovery.
They have a free demo to see what it could recover. -
My Mac wont sleep. Also constant clicking/grinding noise. Tried disconnecting USB and Firewire connections. Running a Cinema Display with an DVI to ADC adaptor and this has worked fine for 2 years but suspect has something to do with the problem. Thanks
This has been discussed over and over, please try a search:

Reset the SMC (for MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models with internal batteries):
1. shut down the MAC
2. Plug in the MacSafe adapter (i.e.power cord/charger)
3. PRESS AND HOLD SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION+POWER buttons at the same time
4. Release all keys and buttons simultaneously
5. press the power button to turn on your mac as usual -

My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black. I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?
Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice. -
The image on my mac wont display on the tv with the firewire
the image on my mac wont display on the tv with the firewire
There's no such thing a a FireWire to HDMI converter. Do you mean Mini DisplayPort?
Are you trying to extend your desktop onto the TV or mirror it? Have you gone to System Preferences, Displays, and either clicked the Mirror Displays option, or used the Arrangement tab to move the two screens into the correct alignment? There should also be a Detect Displays button somewhere in the Displays panel.
