Monitor wont work after lion udate

Hello. Not sure ANYONE will have an answer to this one. I have been using my mac mini with a Toshiba flat screen to show my movies for a few years. I prefer to use a Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter to connect to my TV because it is easier to read text with it than an HDMI connection. My problem started when I tried to watch an HD movie I purchased from the iTunes store. My old monitor was not authorized to show that content (I will reserve comment!) unless I use an HDMI connection. OK I dealt with it. Then I updated to Lion and I can no longer use the Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter connection because it is totally black. I can't read the text unless I activate universal access. Any ideas?

Hi Thoe,
Sad to see what the world is coming to.
Does anything show if you...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.

Mac mini screen wont work after lion

My hdmi connection to my tv wont work after installing lion last night. It worked once last night but hasnt worked since. All cables are in tact and computer is set up the same. I cant even see anything to fix it!

I called apple - I'd have been in trouble if my mac had been my only internet access!
I had to reset the P-RAM
as so:
mac is powered off
turn on power then instantly press keys: command option P R
the mac will chime as usual then on the second chime let go of the keys.
After this my screen worked again.
For info - command key is cmd, option key is alt
I did this with an old mac wired keyboard - not sure if it will work on bluetooth keyboard, but it might.

IMac external monitor not working after lion upgrade

Hi,
I have had an external monitor hooked up to my 09' imac for over a year now. I upgraded to Lion and ever since then it hasnt worked but one other random time when I moved and hooked everything back up. Im very tech savy, but this just doesnt make sense. Have combed google to find a solution. I have a Samsung 22in moniter and all the blue power button does is blinks at me. I am using a miniDisplay to DVI connection.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than resetting the ram?

I guess it's possible you've got some kind of hardware problem.... but not likley given it started with you installed your OS.
Here's a few things to try:
1. see if you can borrow another monitor just to be sure your monitor isn't the problem.
2. in System Prefs, and the Displays pane, click on the Detect Displays, then then the Gather Displays. If you get two diffenet display panes, that would lead me to think it's a monitor problem.
3. Lastly, disconnect your 2nd display, and restart. Then Shutdown, reconnect it, and see if that helps.
and of course..
4. make sure that all of your connections and adaptors are tight.

Suggestions on posting and getting better answers
I do not know what you did prior to uninstalling the card.
What steps did you take to prepare for the installation?
What card were you using prior?
Without some pertinent info, I'm afraid all you'll get are guesses, or you might get lucky and someone mught have had that exact problem, but the odds of that are slim unless your really lucky
Please read at least the first link and then skim the second one
My guess:
You didn't uninstall the card and drivers properly prior to installing the new one.
My solution:
I suggest downloading and installing a utility called "Driver Cleaner" http://www.driverheaven.net
Use the control Panel's Add Remove Programs to remove the nVidia drivers.
Follow the directions supplied with DC and when you restart the PC and the found new hardware wizard pops up, cancel it. Then shutdown the PC and swap the card with your new one, restart and load the new drivers as instructed.
I highly recommend using the utility, especially when changing vendors.
I also recommend looking on the Viewsonic website and see if there are FAQ's related to this issue.
You could finaly try the card in another PC and see if it gives the same error.
Also, what connector are you using to connect the monitor to the card.

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update. Hopefully Apple will fix this shortly. Little excuse for this kind of screw-up.

so here is da answer
1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
please use da steps!

Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work?

I tried to play a game I love & I got this message: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed" So I went to your site to update my flash player & hit the "Test Flash Player" button & it came up
like this^^. I went to the suggestions your site provided & went to Manage add-ons to look for Shockwave Flash Object to enable it:
You can see that it is enabled by this picture I have provided. So it also asks me to make sure that ActiveX isn't clicked on & so I did:
As you can see it's turned off & I even tried it the other way where it has the spot checked & it still wont play. So I decided to see if I could reinstall it onto my computer & so in turn I got this message:
That is the message I got even after trying to delete Flash Player & reinstalling it. Now you can see my frustration with all this. Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro, I use Internet Explorer which has the latest version on it, which is Windows Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.17498 & I was also under the understanding that I also had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on this computer as well. Can someone tell me what to do??

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Security and privacy system preferences not working after Lion install. What to do?

Security and privacy system preference not working after Lion install. Not sure if it happen with Lion installer or after updating. What to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
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.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Ipad apps wont work after downloading update 5.1.1

My I pad apps wont work after I downloaded OS update 5.1.1
I have tried restoring, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Hi
I had the same problem since I updated, the iPad shows "No Sim" I have taken it out, put it back in after cleaning it! All the usual possible solutions that everyone else has tried? So I have not been able to connect for over a week now and I intended to pop into the Apple geek guys to let them have a look, but was scared that they might suggest it would have to be sent away!!! What would I do?. So last night I was fiddling around with the IPad and thought I would try something, AND GUESS WHAT! It works!!!!
This is what I had done
1. Take the SIM out of the IPad
2. Leaving the SIM out, turn the Ipad off using the Home and power button at the same time, do this 4 times
3. Now insert the SIM back in it then found my SIM
I cannot confirm the is the ultimate cure, but it worked for me and I have tried all the other possible solutions, it's worth a try?

Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
what do i do?

Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
Did you flash the BIOS properly?
Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own
Check this thread. Maybe it helps:
