My display only works when held in the landscape position outdoors?
My ipad works fine indoors, but when I take it outdoors to read, it only works in the landscape position. In the portrait position, nothing shows up at all.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading and thanks for the advice. Perhaps I'll ask them about it next time this problem occurs, although carrying the thing through a mall that is only about a mile away is the least of my worries. I'll do if it is both free (I don't make enough at my job to pay for such a service) and relatively speedy, although I'd hate for them to come over and for the computer to work properly (as bad as that sounds). It'd be a wasted trip and nothing would get fixed.
I'm contemplating videotaping myself performing my "fixes" on it the next time I have this problem.

My CD/DVD Drive Only Works When I Jam the CD/DVD in hard..?
My CD/DVD drive only works when I stuff the CD/DVD in the drive EXTRA hard. If I just try to put in with normal force (that at one time worked) it spins the disc around, makes a spinning noise, and then ejects it. I'm taking it to the Apple Store soon. What should I expect to be wrong and is it fixable? Please share details. Thanks in advance.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like the spring that loads the drive has gotten jammed by something. This can often happen if you use CDs with sticky labels, or do anything to label the discs directly. As a result of issues like these, I've not labeled any discs directly, and instead store the in jewelcases, and purchase them prepackaged in jewelcases to avoid such issues. -
ISight only works when it's the ONLY firewire device?
I have connected the iSight to both the firewire 400 and firewire 800 ports. It only works when it is the only device connected to the port.
If I connect it to a hard drive, it works if and only if the hard drive is off. When I turn the drive on, the iSight ceases functioning. When I connect it to a hub, it works if and only if there are no other devices connected to the hub that are on.
Is there a trick to getting the iSight working with other devices?Some devices are tricky for me, too. Possible hardware or software conflicts

cannot type the letter "t" when phone is in portrait orientation. will only work when phone is in landscape.This causes some problems as some apps do not change orientation so when the "t" is needed to be entered it cannot be carried out
Try the basic troublshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B: Resart, Reset, Restore using backup, Restore as new.

Why does my G4 ibook display only work when it's partially open?
The display on my iBook G4 shows no video until I nearly close the lid. I can then see the display working but it is at an extreme angle. I'm thinking that it must be a contact problem, but cannot find any forum or troubleshooting support that address this issue. Does anyone know of a procedure to check and repair this?
Thanks in advance,
RandyRandy,
I have repaired those inverter cables. The break is usually at the hinge point and often it's the red wire that breaks. If you open up the iBook (bottom case, top case (Be very careful with the power lead, it's easy to rip the socket off the logic board. I don't even attempt to unplug it, just free up the speaker cables and the power lead (blue and white) by pulling it free from the adhesive) and the top shield. (lots of patience required here to keep from bending the shield esp. near the top left). Often I'll just leave it connected and tape it to the display. You have to tease the inverter cable out and might have to remove the display to get full access. Note carefully how the cable is routed around the hinge. I tease the silver tape apart (often you can see the break - big black burned spot) so then I solder it back together, lots of tiny shrink tubing.
When I remove the top or bottom shield I'll tape the individual screws right to the shield near where they belong. 3M blue for this. That way reassembly is a no brainer. I used to measure the screw length w/ a metric rule and that took forever.
I also use a "black stick" that I made from a #3 black nylon propeller from the hobby shop. I cut it in half and tape the cut ends w/ self fusing electrical tape. The black stick is essential to releasing the tabs that hold the case together. Don't forget to release the one inside the battery compartment as I often find that one broken off in iBooks that come in for donation.
More if you email me but I won't be back in the shop until Saturday night.

Siri only works when I use the "raise to speak"-feature
Siri works as in the icon shows up when I press the home button and it starts "listening". But the microphone does not show any movement. So Siri "doesn't hear me". Funny though: When I just pick up the phone and talk, she understands me perfectly.
- Siri via home button does NOT pick up my voice
- Siri with "raise to speak" enabled works
- Microphone works
- no network problems (my iPad-Siri works fine)
Kinda annoying. Things I've tried:
- reboot
- turn off/on
- diable bluetooth
Hardware:
- iPhone 5, 64 GB, white (as if it matters *g*).
I am kind of clueless. Any help? Anyone? Thanks a lot.Replying to myself. Believe it or not. After I finished this post, I tried just one more time. Guess what? It works. No changes. Siri got scared of the community, I guess. Very weird.

Display only works when 1/4 open
Hi,
Recently I have noticed that my display wasn't working - I thought it was due to PGP encryption software that was required for work, however I was allowed to remove the PGP when I updated to 10.7.2 as it has full disk encryption.
Then I noticed - the display works - but only if the computer is at a 45 degree angle - if I open the screen past that - the display goes dark.
Anyone?Yes, I'm sure it's not that. Startup will be ok and then screen will go black halfway through startup. Machine boots but no video with built in screen. Hook up to external monitor and can use OSX like that but with only the external monitor..not internal display. Also no "arragement" tab under display preferences...? And like I said will boot fine under windows xp with internal macbook screen. :/

My iPad 2 was left on overnight, not plugged in with the battery at 95% last I checked. This morning it was off and I was unable to turn it on. I plugged it into the charger and it seemed to start up, but the date and time had been reset to December 31st 1969 at 4pm!!! Then, I tried to reset the date and time but it would automatically keep going back to that date. When I went to unplug it, so I could sync it with iTunes, it turned off immediately! It only works when plugged into the charger and even then it turned itself off after about 2 minutes. While unplugged, I tried a hard reset (holding the home and sleep/wake button down at same time for 15 seconds, but it doesn't do anything at all. I did notice that it was pretty hot yesterday, but didn't have any problems running it at all. Any suggestions, or is this clearly a hardware problem? Thanks in advance.
When it was plugged in, it was at 95% so that's not the issue. THe battery appears charged, but the device simply doesn't want to run on it. The weird date reset makes me think it could potentially be a software issue, but I'm worried it is essentially a hardware/battery problem.

Built-in microphone only works when phone is connected to iPod nano cable
Hi, I got an iPhone yesterday but the microphone doesn't work properly. I have figured out that the built-in microphone will only work when I connect the dock cable from a second generation iPod nano. The cable that comes with the iPhone does not work. The supplied handsfree earbuds work correctly at all times.
The strangest part of the problem is that the iPod dock cable doesn't have to be connected to my computer!
I'll state the problem again. Let's say I make a phone call. The person on the other end cannot hear anything I say, but I can hear them. Then I plug in the dock cable from a second generation iPod nano, and the other person can then hear me. Unplug the cable and they can not hear me.
I have tried restoring the iPhone three times, turned it on and off, and inserted and removed the headphone plug many times. These actions do nothing. *The only way I can talk on my phone is if I insert the dock connector from my old iPod!*Take it back.....

Left USB port only works when entering BIOS
Hi all -- I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5106, the LEFT USB port only works when I enter the BIOS at boot-time. If I disconnect the drive, i.e. eject it and then remove it, the port stops working. The other two ports at the right work fine. I've tested this with known good flash drives and Kensington USB trackball that work fine on four other computers, and the other two USB ports. I'm thinking its software/BIOS because hardware would fail intermittently, I could not get the port to work if there was a failing connection. As stated, this work-around succeeds EVERY time. I have not upgraded the bios. Has anyone had this problem?
If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Time Capsule Airport
Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
Simply post the screenshots here.
So here is mine.
Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
eg.
Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
This is wifi in your computer.
The following are important..
DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TC name. TCgen5
Wireless name TCwifi
Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
Mount the TC manually in finder.
AFP://TCgen5.local
When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
Reset Time Machine

Upgrading from Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop CC
I'm an amateur photographer and home user of Photoshop CS5. The last full version of Photoshop I purchased was CS2; since then I've upgraded periodically, and I'm now using CS5. At the same time, I've replaced my PC several times, and managed to inst
