Mid 2010 MacBook pro took a keyboard spill. It still works but display is sooo dark - like no backlight. I think this is an LED screen. Does anyone know the fix for this?
Hi all... My mid 2010 MacBook Pro took a keyboard spill. It still works but the display is very very dark. A faint image can only be seen at an angle in very bright light. I think this model has an LED screen. Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is? Thank you sooooo much!

Spill Cleaning
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

Barcode shows a bunch of squares when barcode is made on AI CS11. Does anyone know a fix for this? We have CS2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem.
Background:
Using FrameMaker 7.1 to create a PDF file where a CS11 barcode file is embedded. PDF generates fine but we get a bunch of squares when we copy and paste the barcode data into Notepad.
We have CS 2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem. Do I need to install a plugin (if any) for CS11 to get this to work?
Thanks!Thanks for your feedback. I was not able to mention earlier that in my line of work, we use Notepad to check if the barcode text is written correctly or if the corresponding text can be found if searched in the PDF... We use FREE3OF9.TTF font when entering text values for the barcode (usually in document/part number format exclusive for our company's use) in AI CS11. After saving the AI file, we attach it in a document using FrameMaker 7.1, then a PDF file is created. The output PDF will be a certification sheet for our products. They (our clients) should be able to scan the document/part number out of the barcode. I'm sorry, I could not divulge any other information so I am not sure if this clears out the issue. It used to work before but I had to get my PC formatted and since then I have been encountering this problem. I am trying to figure out if we missed to install a component or something got messed up after re-installing Adobe Illustrator CS11.

I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs. Has anyone experienced the same? Does anyone know a fix for this?
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account? -

Does anyone know how to get text to flow from page 2 to page 1 in Word for Mac 2011, please?
To try it, create a fair size text box on page 2 and fill it right up with text.
Next, reduce the text box size so that the text box is over-full.
Then Flow this overflow into a new text box on page 1.
What appears also disappears, especially if you try to print.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone else know aWith some advice, I was able to solve my problem by opening Word and then Force Quit Word. When I re-opened Word, it had returned to normal.
Note: I had already tried the expedient of restarting my computer without solving my Word problem. But Force Quit did the job.

i have a gorp and i need help importing my hd videos that i know i shoot in hd, to imovie 11. it wont let me click on them, there transparent and it wont allow it. can someone help me figure this problem out?
Hi Ken,
I had the same problem importing from my Gopro. The solution I found was to open the movie using Quicktime. Select "share" from the menu at the top of the page, then select iMovie. It will convert it to a readable format as it loads it into iMovie. Don't know why Apple makes a simple task so unintuitive.

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

I dont know if its my computer because it says that the device is unknown and doesnt come up as apple mobile device but I've watched youtube videos that seemed like they had similiar problems but they didnt work for me. I've tried the whole home button thing,updating itunes and everything but the recovery screen still wouldnt go away. This is the first time I'm using an iphone so I'm totally clueless about whats happening.
Installing a SIM card will never rectify the device being in recovery mode.
Put the device in DFU mode and attempt to restore it as new via iTunes. Google "DFU mode" for instructions. -

Hi
I would download the free Onyx application (Google will find it) and go through its sequence of maintenance operations: Verify, Maintenance, and Cleaning.
When its finished all these steps, I'd then reset the SMC and PRAM:
- Reset the PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
- Reset the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If you still have problems after these steps come back to us

everytime I open qt pro i have to enter the registration code. This is really annoying. Does anyone know how to rectify this problem?
This procedure will check for files in your home folder that are locked or have a wrong owner. It makes no changes and will not, in itself, solve your problem.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
find . -flags +uchg,uappnd -o ! -user $UID
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If any personal information appears in the output, edit before posting, but don’t remove the context. -
I am unable to sync my music in iTunes to my iPhone 4S. The Sync button is disabled. Does anyone know the solution to this? Thanks.
It may seem simple, but restart both devices.
on the iPhone hold the sleep and home button until the phone rests (soft reset), then restart the iTunes app. Then plug the phone back in then sync again. -
I turn the do not disturb button on and I am not given any options for setting or calls allowed. Does anyon have a fix for this?
Do Not Disturb and Notifications
Push notifications appear in Notification Center and alert you to new information, even when the
associated app isn’t running. Notifications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and
a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen.
Turn off all notifications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. When it’s turned on and
iPhone is locked, all notifications and calls are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the
following options in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb:
• Automatically turn on Do Not Disturb: Set the starting and ending hours for when you don’t
want to be disturbed. iPhone turns on Do Not Disturb during these hours each day.
• Allow some phone calls during Do Not Disturb: When Do Not Disturb is on, calls are silently sent
to voice mail. To allow some callers to ring through, tap Allow Calls From. You can allow calls
from your Favorites list or other Contacts groups you define. For information about Favorites,
see Chapter 25, Contacts, on page 100.
• Allow persistant callers to ring through: Turn on Repeated Calls. If the same caller (based on
their Caller ID) calls you twice within three minutes, iPhone will ring.
Turn an app’s notifications on or off: Go to Settings > Notifications. Tap an item in the list, then
turn notifications on or off for that item. Apps that have notifications turned off appear in the Not in Notification centre -
