MacBook was frozen so I hit control, command, power and now everything is gone other than the start button. Can anyone help?

The sceen is now blue. The dock, all applications and every icon on the screen is gone. What remains is the apple start button and the drop down menus of whatever application I choose as "recent items" from the start menu.
I've tried to restart but it opens back to this.
Thanks.

I restarted holding down the D key and it rebooted with everything. Yippee!

TS1398 I have a little symbol in the upper right side of my iPad that looks like a lock and now I cant get connected to the internet. Can anyone help me ( my granddaughter was playing on my iPad before this happened)

I have a symbol in the upper right hand corner of my iPad that looks like a lock. Now I am unable to connect to wifi.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button
For the WiFi issue try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You can also power cycle your router, Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

Well, unless you made a backup BEFORE you hit the restore button, your data is gone.

So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

Have you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

Contact the original owner, and ask them to remove the device from their icloud.

after using FCS remover run disc repair:
shut down the Mac
Hold the Shift key on keyboard and start up the Mac
The Mac will run the repair tasks it takes 10- 30 minutes, then it will boot up normally
insert the FCS DVD in the drive and install FCS again.

My baby accidentally hit my key pad and now my computer screen looks like a negative. Does anyone know how to fix it?

My baby accidentally hit my key pad and now my computer screen looks like a negative. What was white is now black, etc. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Press control-option-command-8, or visit System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Seeing and change the display back to "black on white."

The error console, I clear it and 4 minutes later it has 100's of yellow, pink & blue message lines in it, without me making 100's of clicks or commands ?? .... Other than the error console filling up faster than a superman, it seems to be working fine.

This happens no matter where I am browsing, yahoo, google, mail or news. Clearing the console seems to help with the speed of FF after an hour or so of browsing, it slows down terribly and if not cleared and or shut down and relaunching FF, both actually, it is painfully slow, like dial-up.

My Iphone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. Can anyone help please?

My IPhone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. I have reinstalled ITunes but still this hasn't worked. Can anyone help please?

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Iv got a new macbook air. and cannot get it to work on my iMac? can anyone help??

Iv just bought a macbook air external dvd drive. and i cant get it to work on my imac? Can anyone help???

I don't believe the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive" is advertised to work with anything except a MacBook Air or a Mac Mini.
According to a MacWorld article, the reason that it won't work on other models is not a hardware issue, but a Mac OS X one. The MacWorld column described modifying a kernel extension file (dicey; a good way to make your Mac non-bootable if you mess it up); readers suggested a method that involved modifying only property list files.'
I'm not sure I believe that it is just a software issue, or a "what is Apple willing to test and support?" one. At the very end of the page, someone reported seeing "Extra Operating Current (mA): 600" in a USB device tree report.
I think this drive can draw more than the standard amount of power for a USB port. The USB ports on the MacBook Air (and now on the versions of the Mini that lack internal optical drives) have probably been designed with that in mind. The USB ports on the other Macs may only be supplying standard amounts of power, which might (educated guess) be insufficient for some operations (like burning DVDs).

MacBook was frozen so I hit control, command, power and now everything is gone other than the start button. Can anyone help?
