I have no idea why it stopped working. But why it failed does not matter.
Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

First generation Mac pro booted into utilities and HD recovery, any idea why?

Hi,
My first generation Mac pro booted into utilities and HD recovery when I restared after installing Autodesk sketchbook pro. This isnt the first time this has happened but last time I was not trying to install any software. Fortunatly, I have time machine backups and therefore have managed to recover the HD to a recent date and I intend to do a complete system check when it has finished. The first time this happened I didnt think much of it but now it has happened a second time i'm becoming a little concerned, any idea why this has happened?

I did this the first time it happened so I know that its not that i have the wrong startup disk selected. However, after the recovery had completed I tried the installation again and this time everything went smootly. so as of right now I dont have a problem. Thank you very much for your time and help.

Help! My MacBook screen is fading to white. Any ideas why?

Over the last month the screen has been fading but it would stop after a minute or two. Now it seems every time I sit down to work on the computer it does this. Any ideas?
Thanks everyone!

Notes of your display wearing down or breaking. I have the exact same issue with my late 2008 MB.
The display is just showing signs of damage or wear. It's not normal nor common but it tells you that a new display or new display cable is needed.

HT201177 IMac screen goes black and will not return without power cycle. Time of events 19 min to 43 seconds after desktop shows

Display goes black
19 min is longest it lasts goes down to 43 seconds after desktop appears
Just updated to Mt Lion same time this started
I am guessing video card went out at same time?
Do not have D test for hardware after upgrade.

Suggestions?

I did some more digging, it appears to be a backlight problem only. I can see the screen very dimly if I use a bright flashlight in a very dark room. It also seems to run ok if the brightness is turned down a LOT.
So I'm thinking this is a LED driver board issue or the display itself. I'll open it up and check the connection between the two and see if I can get any more clues. At least I can use it somewhat now by dimming the display significantly...

Richtextbox tools bar menu is not display for Firefox and chrome. Any idea why this is happening?

Hello,
I have added RichTextField in custom webpart. I have added tag like below
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="RichTextField1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" RichTextMode="FullHtml" Columns="20" Rows="10" RichText="true" />
We are able to see Richtextbox tools bar menu in IE browser but it's not working for other browser like chrome and Firefox.
Can anyone suggest us why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks,
Lovkesh Patel

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the richtextbox tool bar menu not display in non_IE browser.
The richtext box not supported in Non-IE browser, it leads to the issue.
Here are some similar thread for your reference:

Everytime I open Aperture it starts rebuilding previews and thumbnails. Any idea why?

Help please?

Closing and reopening Aperture after it completed its job just started rebuilding previews & thumbnails again and again
If all previews have been generated, and you still see frequent processing of previews, there may be two reasons:
Your Preferences settings do not take, because the preferences file in the user library is corrupted.
You may have imported a corrupted image file or video, for that the generation of previews will never succeed.
The first can be fixed by removing the Aperture preferences apple.com.Aperture.plist from your user library, see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.
The second requires to search your last import, and to try to generate previews manually for subsets of these images, to find the one, for which the generation of previews will hang.

Use Cellular data for: with 8.1.1 in my iPhone 5, I can only see two options 'FaceTime' and ''Passbook'. Any idea why cannot I see other apps to turn on with cellular data ???

Can not use all apps with cellular data

In Settings/General/Restrictions if you tap on Cellular Data Use there should be 2 options: Allow Changes or Don't Allow Changes. If you don't see these options is that where you see "Cellular data is turned off for 'Setting'?
Do you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone? If so your administrator may have added an override on this setting.

The pdf engine in Safari has stopped working. I can no longer view pdf files in Safari. I simply get a black window when pdf files are downloaded

Hi..
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the AdobePDF browser plugin to the Trash.
Try Safari.
If you have problems locating the plugin...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

Imac 27" Intel Core 7 CPU. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware scan and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back

Imac 27" Intel Core7 CPU 16 Gig RAM. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware diagnostic and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back to Mountain Lion but problem remains. Apple Store can do no more.

IMac screen going dim . . .

Lately my older imac screen has been somewhat dim when waking from sleep.... only happens sometimes, seems to be normally bright at the bottom, growing dimmer the further toward the top you look .... if I restart, everything is fine again.
Hardware problem? Seems unlikely since it seems unrelated to how long the computer has been on, it's immediately fine on restart. Any ideas appreciated . . .

Some problem with my iMac. Took it back to the Apple Reseller, they 'repaired' it after 3 weeks. Got it back, still the same problem. Called them and they said is was a normal buzz which the inverter card(?) makes, like the fan and the HD.
