My Mac's display went out and I'm using an external display,

Im having problems with the display size of GarageBand, is their any way to adjust the software?

What make/model of external hard drive. Some disks themselves have a default power save feature, which may kick in regardless of the enclosure or system power settings. I have a Hitachi deskstar drive in an ADS enclosure, and it behaves this way - the drive spools down and power saves entirely on it's own, independent of the system power save settings (since the ADS's chipset does not support that feature, the disks internal settings take over).
If I were to use that drive as a boot drive, and let it sit idle (no disk read or write access) for a few minutes, the drive would power save, and the system would, of course, become unresponsive. Perhaps your external drive is similar?

    I can't get my Mac to turn on? Our power went out and it is now unresponsive.  I have tried the usual way to power it up but am not getting anything. Does it need to be reset? 

    Which Mac model?
    When you say not getting anything - do you mean no sounds, beeps, etc?
    It is possible that your Mac's motherboard or power supply are damaged.

  • ZenV Plus display went out how to get new firmwa

    OK my mp3 player is just a little over 3 months old and the display went out. It started getting lighter and lighter and now you can not see it at all. I tried resetting it to no avail so after reading the forum I thought I should try to reload the firmware. How? Remember I can not see anything on the display so that will make it a little more difficult I am sure. Thank you for any advice or help.

    i dont know if the screen of your zen v+ still work.but sometimes it doesn't display anything when the unit crash.just reset it and it can work again.so u can try it like that if the screen can work.hold the play botton and boot?the unit at the same time.if the screen can work,it will display the interface ofrecovery model .if not,although your unit can work,you cant operate the unit without viewing interface.

  • HT5219 Apple thunderbolt display blacks out and blinks

    Hi,
       I have a macbook pro (2.5GHz Intel core i7, 16GB RAM and 10.8.5) for which I use Apple Thunderbolt display as my extended monitor and almost everyday after connecting my external monitor for 3 or 4 hours, Apple thunderbolt display blacks out and starts blinking or displaying weird colors on every blink.
    To stop it from doing that, I have to disconnect and reconnect my thunderbolt display.
    Is this is universal problem or something wrong with my macbook pro ?

    I've got two 27" Thunderbolt displays hooked up to my Mac Pro. Both displays blank out irregularly multiple times per hour.
    I've exchanged one of the displays for a brand new display and the problem continues.
    I've updated both displays using the firmware update a few months back and the problem continues.
    I'm using separate Thunderbolt cables rather than the built-in cables and the problem continues.
    Bullocks.

  • I have Adobe photoshop cs5. need to update camera raw, cause my camera raw is  2010and does not read my camera,  I went out and downloaded the new one and it does not link to adobe photoshop cs5

    I have moved my Photoshop CS5 to my traveling computer,a Surface Pro 3.  I have photoshop loaded but in trying to look at raw images it says my camera raw does not support the sony alpha 65 which is what I have.  I went out and tried to download the newest raw version and even went out and did a zipfile download and it will not update my current version.  What should I do

    I have 6.0.  Tried to download newest verion and it will not download.  Went out and then downloaded a zipfile and it still will not download, thus cannot look at my raw pictures.
    Thanks, John

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

    I would like to darken my Mac Air screen, so I can use may external display and the keyboard on the notebook--it is possible on a PC-does it work on a Mac?

    Sure it's possible.
    Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo on the top left of the menu).
    Choose "Display".  There's a slider bar for the screen brightness.  Adjust it and you're all set.

  • My motherboard went out and I got a new computer and I need to deactivate Pro X from the old system and activate it on the new system.  How is this done?

    My motherboard went out and I got a new computer and I need to deactivate Pro X from the old system and activate it on the new system.  How is this done?

    Hi David ,
    If it is a retail version ,then you need to deactivate it and uninstall it as well from your old computer and then you can install it back on the new computer.
    If it a subscription based software ,then you just need to deactivate it and you can operate the same on your new computer by entering in your credentials .
    For more information ,you can refer to this link.

  • Our power suddenly went out and now Firefox can't establish a connection. How do I fix it?

    Our power suddenly went out and when I turned the computer back on and opened Firefox, this is the message I get while trying any web page:
    Unable to connect.
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.etsy.com.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Maybe the Firefox rules in the firewall got damaged.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />
    See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
    If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.<br />
    Download a fresh copy of Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html ) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
    If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • How can I use an external display with my MBP lid closed and disconnected to power?

    I know that I can use an external display when my MBP lid is closed and it is connected to power. I was wondering why it does not work when the power cable is removed.
    I only use an external display when I am at home so my MBP acts like a Mac Pro or Mac Mini in that way, but it is not good to leave the battery charging constantly on a MBP so I want to disconnect the power and use external display and have the lid closed. Is this possible or do I have to leave my lid open when running on battery power?

    I'm plugged into my wall socket at least 90% of the time - probably more. I always make sure that I take my MBP off mains about once every two weeks and let it run down to about 30-40% and then plug it back up. This keeps the ions flowing and the battery healthy. My MBP will be one year old on March 20, 2013, and my battery health is still at 99%. I run in clamshell mode most of the time now - since I bought a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display. Only occasionally am I off mains - and then because I'm exercising my battery, usually.
    Don't worry about running of mains most of the time - just be sure and unplug about once every two weeks (or twice a month) and let your battery dip to the 30-40% mark and you'll be fine.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
    If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.
