My Macbook keeps on randomly flashing black and I do not know what this mean , Can anyone help me please ?

I have run out of options, I was hoping maybe somebody can help.

What have you done so far? Zap the pram? Go to system preferences and turn off sleep options? Reset the SMC? Hav you tried an external monitor to see if it does it?

  • Old I-tunes accepted both my i-pods now it only accepts one and tells me that I CANNOT SYNC MY SECOND I-POD AS A DUPLICATED NAME WAS USED...DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS CAN ANYONE HELP?

    Old I-tunes accepted both my i-pods - now it only accepts one and tells me the second cannot be synched as a duplicate name has been used.
    There is no explanation as to what I must do to put this right....can anyone help with this? Thanks.   

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

  • Hi, I am using an iMAC 6.4 and I will need to upgrade the 10.5.8 to a newer version. I am a PC person, so I have no idea of how do this. Can anyone help me please? Thanks!

    e no idea of how do this. Can anyone help me please? Thanks!

    There is no such model as an iMac 6.4. Be sure to check the system requirements for upgrading.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

    Hi,
    All I do is click on the song, it asks me if I would like to locate it and I go to my music first.  It's normally in there and you just click on it and it reloads.  Or, search in your computer for it and it will locate it if it's there.  Click C drive and you can see all files then move the track to my music first.  Finally you could delete iTunes, reload it and press button: scan for media then it will give you back one of every song you have ever loaded digitally!
    Hope this helps.

  • HT204400 I updated my Apple Tv last night and ever since we have been unable to use it. There is a picture of the Music logo saying taht I need to plug in a device but my cables for the ipnoes and Ipads don't seem to fit. Can anyone help me please?

    I updated my Apple TV last night and since then it is asking me to plug it into a device. I have a picture of the Music Logo and a cable needing to be plugged into the back of the Apple TV. however I am unable to do this as none of the cables i have will fit. Can someone please help me?
    Thanks

    The update failed.  It needs to be plugged into a computer with iTunes via a standard USB cable so iTunes can reload its firmware.

  • We cannot download Firefox. It does not allow us to download as Current User and instead insists we run as Administrator and we do not know the password. Can you help?

    If we try to continue as Current User by selecting that button, nothing happens. If we try as Administrator we cannot provide the password and so we fail both ways.

    Most "businesses" don't install/control apps that way. You might want to start here:

  • My ipad screen has gone black but I can still touch the screen and unlock it and do things. I don't know what's wrong can someone help

    My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

    If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
    I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.

    Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025.  So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3).  When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr.  I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports.  This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.
