My macbook isnt starting. even charging isnt helping. what's wrong ?

first i thought that the battery was drained so i put it to charge but it was not of any help either. the charging was not showing and no light was turning on. i put it to charge for about 1 hour but nothing showed up.
please help.
need to submit my project by next week.

Since the external display works without issue, it's more likely to be a problem with the internal display or possibly its cables and connections and not a graphics chip problem.
The LVDS cable is what carries video data, so you want to have a good look at it, checking both for physical damage and to see that it is well seated. Do the same with the inverter cable.
You can probably find a replacement LVDS cable:
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Models-A1226-A1260-Displ ay-Data-Cable/IF185-133
It seems to be sold out at the moment, but it may be available from a different source or later on from ifixit. The cable is much less expensive than the display, and may be worth a try.
Good luck!

Hi sdennisonta,
If you are having an issue with charging your MacBook Pro, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
If the battery appears to be working correctly you may want to see if the issue lies with your power adapter. Use the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

:S,
Sorry, missed that fact. My memory is good, but short.
Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop. After that, (I remember that I recommended this before), as long as you are moving files to the Desktop, repeat the plist removal procedure once again, log out/in or restart.
You should also consider removing the "To Do's" from Mail before restarting iCal. When you open iCal turn off "Show Birthdays calendar" in iCal>Preferences...>General.
Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?

My Macbook has started running really slow, help!

Hello, my Macbook has started to run at a far slower pace than usual. I have had my macbook since December of 2010 and for the past few weeks I have noticed that the rainbow wheel would appear when I would try to do even the most simplest of things (i.g. open Microsoft Word). Using the terminal's top command I would notice that the fc-cache would use a high percent of the system. However that ceased using the command "fc-cache -f -r -v", and it seemed as if the font fc-cache stopped. However that did not stop the problem.
I then decided to run a EtreCheck run and the following came out:

If someone could please help that would be amazing.
Thank you very much!

I'll take a wild guess that the most noticeable slowdown began after you installed OS X Mavericks.
1. You have plenty of hard disk space, 205GB available of 250GB, but you have only 2GB system RAM installed. 2GB RAM was adequate for acceptable performance using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Technically, Apple specs say that OS X 10.9 Mavericks REQUIRES just 2GB RAM, but realistically, 2GB is not nearly enough to run it with decent performance, especially if you run both a browser and other application programs simultaneously. Your system can hold a maximum of 16GB RAM. Upgrading to 4GB RAM would absolutely help performance. Upgrading to 8GB might provide additional performance with OS X Mavericks. I won't speculate on the benefits of 16GB.
Disclaimer: I use OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion as my primary operating system, about 8 hours every day. I run Mavericks once a week or less for a couple of hours, and for only one application, so my experience with Mavericks is limited, and your use is likely considerably different. I use OS X Mavericks to run Windows 7 using Parallels 9, in order to use my licensed copy of Windows MS-Office 2011.   I didn't like Windows 7 performance with Parallels 9 running in Mavericks with just 4GB installed on my mid-2011 2.5Ghz iMac, so I upgraded to 8GB.
Macs are notoriously picky about system RAM, and not all RAM vendors are the same when it comes to Mac. I recommend purchasing your Mac RAM upgrade from Apple, Crucial.com, or Other World Computing http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_Whi te
Depending upon where you purchase the RAM and whether you are confident to install it yourself, a 4GB RAM upgrade will likely cost well under US$100. 8GB would likely cost around $100. Your Mac can use up to 16GB, at a cost over $200. Before spending any money to upgrade an older computer, always consider how much you're willing to spend on a 4-year-old computer, versus saving that money, if you have plans to purchase a new(er) Mac in the near future.
Recent generations of Mac computers seem to be highly reliable. My son has a mid-2009 aluminum MacBook Pro that easily survived 4 years of college and is still going strong. We just recently upgraded his system to 8GB RAM so he can try out Mavericks on a spare external drive before he decides whether or not to upgrade.
2. You're running Google Chrome browser. I don't use it based on advice in several discussion threads within Apple Support Communities from users who are far more knowledgable that I am about such things. They say the Chrome browser does not use RAM very efficiently, and that Firefox and Safari are better.
3. You haven't rebooted your computer in 34 days. With such limited RAM, until you upgrade, rebooting the computer at least every few days could increase performance a little bit. Some programs, particularly web browsers, often take huge amounts of available RAM and open dozens or even hundreds of links, then don't release RAM properly when you close browser windows.

Help, what's wrong with my upload function

Hi,
I want to write a java Bean (FileUploadBean) to upload the image files. I use a very simple txt file to test my Bean code, I've already know the syntax of the entity body of httpServletRequest object, it's like below:
"-----------------------------7d327203032e
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="toefl_form"; filename="C:\transfer\Picasso_ljm\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\webapps\junmin\image\test.txt"

hi, this is a test;
-----------------------------7d327203032e--
My original test.txt file is only a line without '\r', '\n'.
"hi, this is a test."
But after call my upload function, the saved file is:
hi, this is a test.
There are 4 more bytes than the original file. Below is my FileUploadBean file, does anyone can figure out what's wrong in my upload function? Does the readLine read the return carriage and new line charactor too? Thank you very much!

HI,

i = in.read(line, 0, 256);
String newLine = new String(line, 0, i);
But still, when I was trying to read a image file, it even didn't finish reading and quit already! Still has bugs, need help!

If anyone could help that would be amazing!!

I've noticed the same thing on my 13" rMBP. Plug in the MagSafe 2, and sometimes the light comes on instantly. Sometimes there is a 20 second delay before the charging indicator kicks in. And occasionally, the light has turned off hours after it has been on for awhile.
Anyone else seeing this issue? If it is widespread, it could just be a firmware update to fix.

My macbook pro is "not charging"!! What's the deal?!

Hey all,
So yeah, as I mentioned above, my computer is reading "not charging" and as soon as I unplug my adapter the computer just shuts down.
I took it in to a Mac store and they did a basic diagnostic to reveal that the battery is fine and the power adapter is also fine. Anyone know what this is or how to fix it?
thanks for you help!
Bram

Firstly I just want to thank you for your time,.... Eww. Seriously, I appreciate it!
So I tried booting it in Safe Mode: turned computer off, turned it back on, pressed Shift after that start-up tone, released the shift button when the screen was grey with the apple logo and the loading "gear" thing turning. I'm not sure if it's in Safe mode now, but everything's the same. Did I do this right?

Hello
I'd really appreciate some help and advice with by iMac !

After using it for a while whichever window is open starts to black out - you can shut the window down but it remains there - if you click you mouse onto the screen you can pull a square out and it reveals the desktop wall paper underneath !
You cant force quit the open screens, the only way to stop it is to restart.

Help: What's wrong with my installed Developer 6.0?

Hi, Everyone,
I have a Developer 6.0 for Win95/NT4.0 version free downloaded
from OTN. My development ENV is: ORACLE 8.0.5 in one NT4.0
machine, OAS4.0.7 in the second NT4.0 machine.
Oracle8.0.5&OAS4.0.7 are installed and configed successfully.
Then I installed my Develper6.0 in the second NT4.0 machine. I
want to config my Develper6.0 Web developing/deployment
environment to deploy my developed Form/Report/Graphics. But I
cann't find the "Start->Oracle Developer R6.0->Server Wizard"
menu as illustrated in the chapter "Configuring your Oracle

Thanks in advance.

I've managed to install the wizard. I've started Oracle
installer and pointed to nt.prd file on developer 6 CD. Almost
at the end you find the server configuration wizard. You can
install him seperately.

hi. thanks so much for your tip. i followed it and finally my
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver sqlServerDS = new
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver();line is now recognized...
However, i get errors on the next 5 lines
   sqlServerDS.setServerName("PSERVER\\PINST");
            sqlServerDS.setPortNumber("9080");
            sqlServerDS.setDatabaseName("Customer");
            sqlServerDS.setUser("neil");
            sqlServerDS.setPassword("123");the errors i get are something like: cannot find symbol
symbol : method setUser(java.lang.String)
location: class com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
sqlServerDS.setUser("neil");
as you might have noticed, i'm really new to java programming and i would very much appreciate all the help i can get.

My macbook isnt starting. even charging isnt helping. what's wrong ?
