Macbook running 10.6.8 not recognizing my midi usb keyboard! Need Help!
Hi im using a macbook running 10.6.8. I have literally spent about 12 hrs trying to fix this problem, I have with my mac recognizing my midi usb akai mpk mini keyboard. I have not heard about this problem on any other websites but basically my mac dosnt recognize it 7out of 8 times, and when it does I have roughly 5 to 15 minutes before all of a sudden my computer completely forgot it. I have tryed restarting it, finding drivers on akai's website, and messing with my 32 bit and 64 bit kernal settings. It came with this janky *** software that is very poorly explained in the manuel. But I have to admit the first 3 days I had it everytime I plugged it in my computer knew what it was, but as soon as I unplugged it for my trip to florida and plugged it in 8 hrs later, it started pooping out on me. I really need help I dont know if it is my midi settings, my hardware, the keyboard, or the janky software it came with. But if anyone can help me please help me out.
Really hope you figured this out as it's been 4 months. For the rest of you with similar problems I purchased the same device today and experienced the exact same problems. In the end I tried a new USB cable and everything was fine.

Serial number not recognized by Apple website. Need help to get a charger replaced.
I have a MacBook Pro (Build13A603) that recently started having trouble charging. It looks like there is a short in my power adapter. I purchased it from a Best Buy, and my extended warranty from there has already run out. I do not have Apple Care. I know sometimes Apple is able and/or willing to help out in these types of situations, but I have been trying to contact Apple Care, and when I try to provide my serial number the website does not recognize it. I have used the one from 'About This Mac' as well as the one laser etched on the bottom of my computer. Any other ideas how I may be able to get in touch with them to see if they just might replace the charger for me? The closest store to me is over 60 minutes away so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
Have you tried to verify your MBP serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Check it in System Information>Hardware Overview.
You MBP requires an 85w charger. OWC sells them for less than Apple:

My new HDD for Macbook pro 13" unibody is not recognized and I am using a new SATA cable
Hey everyone,
I have a particular problem that I cannot seem to find an answer to. My new 500gb internal drive for my Macbook Pro 13" unibody is not recognized. The old HDD broke on me so I bought a new one but my macbook pro would not recognize it. To troubleshoot that issue I purchased the SATA cable and replaced the old with the new. The new HDD still will not show up in disk utility.
Please let me know what you think I may have missed or should do.
Thank youjc1388,
Bring it to an Apple store Genius bar (make an appointment, so you don,t have to wait around forever) they will diagnose it for free and tell you your options/pricing. They have more extensive testing tools, maybe your logic board is failing/failed.

My MacBook running Mountain Lion does not allow me to view any videos on the Internet. The place where the video is supposed to be just shows black rectangle. Is there anything I can do to make videos on line work? I discovered that Java quits immediately. Could that be the cause? If so, how do I fix it?

I cannot download updates to Photoshop Elements 9. I get an error message that my serial number is not recognized or eligible. Can you help with this?
Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
What updates are you trying to download?
The last update was 9.0.3 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Photoshop Elements
The last supported Camera raw is ACR 6.5 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-ins -> Camera Raw
Do you have a reason to update?

My ipod was recently disabled and now says "connect to iTunes" although my ipod has never been synced to my Mac laptop it will not allow me to. I need help.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup (if you have an iCloud backup) see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
