My macbook wakes up and then goes back to standy even when the lid is open.

so my macbook turns on and then the screen stays on for like 2 seconds then goes back to standby. it does not shut down because when i wake it up again by pressning any button, it is where i was before. Also when it is in standy even when the lid is on, the standby light blinks as if the lid is closed. i can never use it because the screen only stays on for 2 seconds then turns off going to stand by. does anyone have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
thanks in advance!

The sound doesn't work. It's set appropriately in settings, the volume is turned up all the way with the side buttons, but no volume. When we try to play songs, it acts like it's going to play and then goes back to the play list. Restored and still no

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original? The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function. Am I missing something? It was so easy with Windows.

Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

try a pram reset,
Mac OS X 10.7 Help
Reset your computer’s PRAM
A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
Note: To print these instructions, open theHelp Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choosePrint.
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3.5 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

I understood what you were saying. You did type 4.3.5 in your post. Several other things to try.
Close all open apps like I described above. Just tap the home button first so that you will be able to access all of your apps. Close every single one and then restart again.
You can also delete the app and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID and password there is no charge to download it again. Tap and hold down on the GarageBand app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X to delete it. Download it again.
Reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10-15 seconds. Ignore the red slider shut off bar. When the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and the iPad will reboot.
The final thing to try is to download another app - any free app. Sometimes that seems to reset something on the iPad. You can always delete the free app if you don't want it.

Everytime I click on an app, it loads then cuts off, and then goes back to the home screen. What do I do?

My Macbook Pro (5,3) sporadically goes to sleep when the lid is open and in use.

My Macbook Pro (5,3) sporadically goes to sleep when the lid is open and I am actively using it. This problem happens both with OS X 10.7.2 and Windows 7 (64bit), so I don't think it's an OS issue. Has anyone else encountered this? It's still covered under apple care... But I'd rather try to fix it myself before having to bring it in.
Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case - it does get hot. However, this happens even when I first open it after having it in sleep mode for an entire night... Do you know how to run the diag tool with OS X 10.7?

My screen on my iPhone 4s is gone blank and wont turn back on. Even when i reset the phone it is just blank. I know the phone is on because when i change the switch on the side it vibrates.

my screen on my iPhone 4s is gone blank and wont turn back on. Even when i reset the phone it is just blank. I know the phone is on because when i change the switch on the side it vibrates.
Also before this the phone wasnt picking up any signal so it worked basically as an ipod.
How much would it cost to repair this problem?

Hello ozzy9294,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Best of luck,
Mario

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.
