    Hi,
    my macbook screen goes black at random points when I am using it. I know it is still running as music continues to play and I can vaguely make out the content of what is on the screen. Sometimes the screen will flicker between black and normal. Can I fix this?

    Could be the graphics card, run the Apple Hardware Test
    If the hardware test doesn't reveal any problems, use Lion Recovery.

  • I accidentally dropped my iPad but it didn't crack the screen just went totally black and it still turns off and on but it's just black and I can't do anything. I need help I don't  know what to do

    I accidentally dropped my iPad but it didn't crack. It just went black and I tried turning it on and off and it works but it just stays black and I don't know what to do I desperately need help.

    I could not believe it, but it worked. If you have this problem, Here's my word to you: Don't give up! I tried this "magical" fix three times last night. Nothing (...x3!). Then, today I put it upside down on my ottoman and hit the back quite hard. I have no idea how this works and - even a s a scientist - I don"t care! My iPad is up and running again. Go figure... but I am thrilled!!! Thank you, forum. I never would have thought of this on my own. And you just saved me several hundred $$$!

  • Mac Mini and LCD TV, changed resolution and now cannot use the screen anymo

    hello,
    I have a Mac Mini and and LCD TV which is connected via HDMI cable. I was playing around with the resolution settings (not very smart in hindsight) and managed to select a resolution that my TV does not support. I do not have another monitor or Macbook. Is there anything I can do to reset the resolution settings? I tried to reset the PRAM, but that didnt seem to solve the problem. I also tried starting in Safe mode but that didnt do the trick either.
    Appreciate your help!

    Arie, it may be possible to get to System Preferences via the keyboard. But you have to be sure the Finder is the foreground application. Is your Mac set to boot straight into your account or does it pause waiting for a password? If it boots straight into a user account, you can try the following procedure:
    \- Restart the Mac (It should be hooked up to the misbehaving display in case that's not clear)
    \- When it is done booting, type Cmd-Tab and then Cmd-Q. Do this several times. (Cmd-tab will step the Mac through all the programs that might be running. Cmd-Q quits them. Doing this several times ensures that only the Finder is running since the Finder can't be quit. This is important for the next step)
    \- Type Shift-Cmd-a (This should open the Applications folder)
    \- Type "sys" quickly (System Preferences within the Applications folder should now be highlighted)
    \- Type Cmd-o (This should open System Preferences)
    \- Type out the word "screen settings" completely (This should cause Displays to be highlighted in the System Preferences main panel)
    \- Hit the Return key (This should open Display Preferences)
    \- Hit the Return key again (This will clear any alert box that may have popped up)
    \- Hit the Tab key once (This will shift the keyboard focus to the resolutions list)
    \- Now start using the up (or down) arrow on the keyboard one press at a time. Each press of the arrow key moves to the next resolution in the list. Wait at least five seconds between arrow key presses for the resolution change to take effect. Hopefully, at some point, the monitor will light up with a stable image and you are back in business.

  • My Macbook (13" White) that I have had for three years recently had its screen die, and so I purchased a new macbook pro, since I cannot use the screen, how do I go about getting my information off of it such as my iTunes, iPhoto and other documents?

    The screen would fade into these weird pastel stripes, and if I pinched the sides a bit it would return to normal, but a few weeks ago it stopped returning to normal. I would like to get my iTunes and iPhoto contents and my documents of various sorts off of it and onto my new macbook pro. A friend of mine removed the hard drive and got the information like it was an external hard drive. Can I do this? I don't know if I can use my migration assistant application because the screen of my macbook won't let me see anything to even log into my username on the computer... Help?

    Firewire disk mode.
    Plug in a foirewire cable, most likely need a 6pin (400) to 9 pin(800).
    on the older machine, boot it up, and hold down the t key
    HDD should show up on the new computer.
    If you havent booted up the new machine, you could run migration assistant whith the above steps to pull the data off.

  • The screen on my ipod is no longer working and i would like to get my pictures off of it but for it to connect to itunes i have to unlock it on the ipod itself and i cannot use the screen?

I want to get the pictures off of it but when i try to connect it to itunes it says that i need to unlock my ipod on the device before it will connect.

  • Equium A300D-16C turns on but the screen shows nothing/stays black

    Hi there, I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-16C laptop.
    It was fine until now...
    When I press the power button, my laptop turns on but the screen remains black / off.
    HDD indicator doesn't flash or anything ... ( in case this helps )
    I've also tried to remove the battery, hold the power button for 30s and plug the power cord back in... Same thing laptop turns on but screen is black.
    I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
    I haven't changed anything inside my laptop or unscrewed it.
    PS:
    I quite often kept my laptop on the bed/pillow so it may have something to do with overheating or something.
    How did I get to this point:
    Yesterday my laptop was fine, there was nothing wrong with it... I switched it off at night but when I tried to switch it back on this morning that's where I faced this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Rejanu.

    Hello
    > I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
    Its very good that you have this test with an external monitor because so you could make sure its not related to internal monitor and its working properly.
    Well, you have tried a lot so my personal opinion is its a serious hardware malfunction It could be related to mainboard or CPU in my opinion
    I think such hardware diagnostic can only be done from an authorized service provider. I think you should contact the guys. They can help you to get rid of this problem :)

  • Outlook 2013 - cannot use RoomLists and Suggested Times

    Hi,
    maybe someone has a clue on what is wrong here.
    In OWA, we can use the new features RoomList and Suggested Rooms when using the Calendar Assistant to plan a new meeting. The room list can be first be chosen, and the fields for the rooms are then populated as expected, you can choose one of the rooms.
    The following is true for every Outlook Session on PCs/virtual Clients, they are configured to use Online Mode: In Outlook 2013, when using: New Meeting - Scheduling Assistant, the feature "Choose an available room" stays complete empty and
    does not show the room list. Also the box below that, labeled "suggested Times", does not load or display content. Instead, an error message is displayed in it: "Suggestions cannot be provided because free/busy data could not be retrieved."
    Laptops use the exact same Outlook version, but run in cached mode. Here, if you deconfigure "Communication using http" in the OL profile, the lookup for suggested times works _once_ until Restart, then the button is automatically added, the
    profile automatically made good again, and the suggestion function is broken again.
    If you deconfigure the button "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using http" in the Outlook Profile under the connection tab on an _online mode PC_, the profile is broken and not automatically made good again. So no temporary workaround is possible
    here.
    We do not run policies that may keep Outlook 2013 from using the functions. In fact we do only rule cached or online mode.
    Our Room List is free of special characters and short enough, so no problems that other people have found in their environments.
    We have found some older articles reporting broken functionality, when applying or not applying hotfixes. We have checked several of that and it is not the source of our problem.
    Also, we are currently within one domain, so no complicated setup using one or more forests or even other domains, configuration of free/busy accounts should not be an issue here.
    Our best guess is it may have to do with using Exchange webservices or MAPI for the connection, see both ways described communicating over http or not above, but we have not found an error or wrong configuration here.
    Can you please advise on where to search next?

    Hi,
    Which version of Exchange server are you using?
    Does the free/busy information display correctly if we click the Rooms button and select a room from GAL?
    Are you trying to start a meeting in which either the Start time or the
    End time is outside your working hours? If this is the case, this issue may happen. Please have a look at the following KB article and check if it applies:

  • Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

    Very very weird,
    it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
    I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
    Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
    She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
    The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
    booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
    Can anyone help?
    I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
    Andrea

    Issue Fixed.
    BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
    The fix has been:
    upgrading OSX to Lion
    Patch to latest release
    Go To Boot Camp Assistant
    Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
    Reboot into Windows 7
    Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
    Reboot
    Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!

  • I cannot use the hp4620 scanner

    I have installed a officejet hp4620 device via WLAN. The printer works. On the other hand I cannot use the scanner. As suggested I tried to access the scanner through applications Preview, Image Capture and the Printer queue. No success. What is required to make the scanner work?

    I received a lot and prompt help from Sunshyn2005 from HP Support solving this issue. The issue was with the router! The ZyXEL WAP3205 does not support the bonjour protocol properly which results in some erratic behaviour especially with AirPrint. See also:
    http://lpaulriddle.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/zyxel-wap3205-not-recommended/
    I scrapped the ZyXEL WP3205 and installed a new router. The printer and the scanner work as you would expect it. ZyXEL owes me many hours of my life and a lot of explanations to my partner.
