MBP 15 can't get started ,nothing on the monitor

Hi，I am from China.My MBP 15's montior went black one day while I was watching online vedios.I could still hear the sound of the vedio but nothing on the screen.I tried to restart my laptop only to find a black screen with a starting sound.When I closed the cover,the sleep indicator light was on steadily,not as ususal,blinking.After shutting it down, i put it in my drawer for about one month.Yesterday i managed to turn it on unexpectedly.Then i see a notification,something like "error -50",and then the monitor failed again soon.Is there anyone who is familiar with this? I appreciate any kind of help.
At the same time,i have another question about my warranty.My mother bought me the MBP in Cupertino last Oct .Unfortunately,she couldnot find the invoice.As a result,in the telephone my local authorized service provieder refused to repair it under warranty so i have to pay extra money for it.But i think i have the rights to get my MBP fixed using the provided service.After all, the warraty is avaliable till this Oct.What should I do or how can i file a complaint?
ThX for your help and concerns.

Did you try View>external video>all frames?

I am new to Garage Band and was previously using sound forge on my PC to edit music for my Figure Skating students. Is there a basic tutorial I can read to get started, nothing seems the same.

I am new to Mac and Garage Band and was wondering if I can use this program to edit existing tracks downloaded from i-tunes etc. Is there a basic tutorial to get me started? I edit music for figure skaters so it is relatively basic, fading in/out, cutting and pasting etc.

use an automation curve for this, open GB's help and search for "curve"

I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

Which iBook do you have?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro

How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro that I had installed on my computer before Microsoft crashed my computer and I had to do a fresh install? I finished reinstalling Win 8.1Pro on my computer thanks to Microsoft Lvl 1 Techies corrupting my Command Structure so nothing would work. I had recently taken a picture of my installed programs (control panel, uninstall programs list) so that I would be able to reinstall everything I needed. I can't seem to find an email for the Reader which I remember paying for, the others I believe were free installs. Can anyone help me out.

Can't add page ! (can't get started)

When I open iWeb, I am unable to add a page, so I can't get started. The only thing that appears is: in the left hand column a red icon that says "site". I am unable to add anything? any ideas? My idisc is mounted and is telling me how much space is available.

What version of iWeb are you using right now?
If you are using iWeb 1.1.1....Don't update to 1.1.2 YET. Download the iWeb 1.1.1 Update directly from here and apply it...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html
This has been known to ungrey your iWeb options.
Another trick that has sometimes worked is this:
1. Open up iWeb with its greyed out options and leave it open
2. Now launch iPhoto and select 2 or 3 photos
3. Click on the iWeb icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window
4. Select Photo Page
See if this opens up a new photo page for you in iWeb. This has been known to ungrey the options as well for some reason.
If none of this works, you may be looking at reinstalling iWeb to try to make things work. Here is a page from Kabing that summarizes all of this in a more organized way...

I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive is malfunctioning.

My marketplace has lost his CSS-Layout! How can I get it back/install the marketplace new?

Hi,
since a few weeks, when I start the Firefox Os marketplace, I see an unformatted HTML-page without any layout. Somehow I lost the layout information. How can I get it back? The first idea was reinstalling the marketplace. But it is not an app in the marketplace...
Please help me. using the marketplace without layout is not usable for a longer time.
Alle other apps are working fine. The marketplace had an layout, when i bought the smartphone (ZTE Open C).
regards
AK

Hi Ralph,
thank you for your quick response.
I saw a simple HTML-Page in white, all links in blue or purple. I expected the normal marketplace-layout.
After opening your link at the browser and adding a favorit to the desktop my original marketplace-App-Button works fine again. Now even using the App-Button the layout is back again. Sometimes it can be so simple...
So you solved the problem for me.
Thanks a lot

WRT54GS v4 developed increasing lag, now it can't get an IP from the modem at all.

I am connected wirelessly to my WRT54GS v4 over WPA2, and it's worked very well for years. About 2 days ago, the router started developing serious lag. Some web pages (CNN, Google, etc) would time out only to work OK 10 seconds later (or not.) A traceroute to the offending domain would show my second hop as timing out, with all other hops < 80ms. Sometimes I'd get 3 webpages (all on different sites) hanging at the same time, only to finally display 20 seconds later simultaneously.
That was all on firmware 1.06.1. I just upgraded successfully to 1.06.3, with absolutely no change. I held reset for more than 30 seconds with no change.
The router looks like it can't get an IP from the modem at all. Clicking the DHCP Renew button in the web interface just bounces back to the same page but doesn't show that it's picked up a valid IP address.
If I plug into my cable modem directly from my laptop, the connection is awesomely fast with zero hangs or hesitation.
Can *anyone* help me please?

I was able to fix my problem by following alllll the instructions on this page: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4572&p_created=11658...
I also remembered that I had been resetting my cable modem (by power-cycling it) once or twice a day because it was losing its signal. I wonder if that was part of the problem?

Updated software on Macbook Air and bootcamp partition disappeared. Windows boot option no longer appears. Can I get it back and the data?

Amy, is there a chance they could both be Syncing to another device that has the data erased?
What are the sizes & modification dates on the files you found?
Could be many things, we should start with this to be safe, though 2 different ones would seem unlikely to be this problem...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
