My newIpad back camera has gone nuts.

The back camera of my new Ipad worked fine recently. No shocks, or water or other reason, but not it looks as if some kind of effect is on. Very weird. Other cam fine. Shut off all apps, shut down ipad and resterted. Still wonky.

Hello, Caitlanh.

Time machine backing up has gone nuts!

Configuration: MBP mid 2010, 13 inch, SSD 120 GB, Ram 8 GB, TM Drive 1 TB external Seagate. Running on Mountain Lion 10.8.4
For some unknown reason, TM backin up seems to go on endlessly and the backup size keeps on growing. This has been happening for about a week! As a result the machine wont sleep for several hours. the backup size usually goes up to as much as 25 GBs!
Can someone tell me whats going on?

Do you use virtualization software, such as VMware, Parallels, or VirtualBox?
The virtualization software creates a large virtual-disk container that is constantly changing, so it has to be backed up every time Time Machine runs. That will quickly fill up any backup destination.
You should exclude the virtual-disk file(s) from your Time Machine backups. To do that, click the Options button in the Time Machine preference pane. Back up the files on the virtual disk from within the guest system, using a native backup application.
A compromise solution is to create a "snapshot" of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) That will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be backed up once. All the subsequent changes will be stored in a new file that's initially much smaller, but will grow over time. You should still exclude that file from TM backup. If you ever need to restore the VM from Time Machine, you'll have a working setup, which will make it easy for you to restore the rest of the data from within the guest system.
Another common cause of large TM snapshots is native OS X disk images. If you store a lot of data on one or more writable disk images, they should be in "sparsebundle" format, which will be backed up much more efficiently than any other format. Also be aware that disk image files are not backed up at all while the image is mounted. Make sure you unmount the image often so it can be backed up. If you ever restore, you will, of course, lose all changes made since the last backup. Consider eliminating large read/write disk images from your workflow, if possible.

Safari display has gone nuts

Yesterday my Safari display has gone nuts. Just displays a long list of items on the website....no graphics and the links don't work. Every site is the same.
I did a restart.....I did a shutdown....still the same.
Firefox works fine.
I tried to find a download to reinstall Safari but no luck.
How can I get Safari working again?
thanx
Peachie

Well, I only have one extension: AdBlock. I disable that and now it works fine...everything is loading.
But it used to work fine with adblock enabled. What has changed?
Without Adblock I find Safari difficult to use.
Thanx for your reply.

My Iphone4's camera has gone green and purple...How to Fix?

I want anyone to tell me about how to fix it...

Hi there binnysandhu!
I have an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your camera. The article is about troubleshooting hardware issues, and can be found here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically, this is the section that will be most relevant to your issue:
Camera is not functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

My camera has gone black. Anyone know what happened

My camera goes black when I try to access it. Anyone know what has happened?

do a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Time Machine has Gone Nuts

I hope somebody can help with this. I have an aluminum Macbook Pro with a 160 GB internal drive and an external Seagate 300 GB drive. There's about 50 GB of miscellaneous stuff on the external drive alongside a Time Machine backup -- in the same partition.
Lately every backup takes forever -- a half hour or more. And the time is increasing. It seems like soon Time Machine will have to run continuously to back up once an hour. During the backup it churns the drive mercilessly -- the head chatters and chatters throughout the backup. If I select the Backups.backupdb and get info on it, I get the same sounds -- and it takes forever, many minutes, to determine the size of that folder. I usually lose patience before it's finished.
However, the backups seem fine. I can open Time Machine and restore from a backup without problems. In all other ways, the drive seems to be functioning fine. I have no reason to believe it's failing.
So -- could drive fragmentation be the culprit? Do I not have enough free space on the drive? (just 15 GB). Can I degrag the drive with Drive Genius 2? Any other suggestions?
Thanks very much in advance.
Steve

Below are a few more console items from that time period. (I'm downloading Time Machine buddy but I assume it'll show the same stuff.) I have no idea whether any of this is relevant, but they're the only items that seem to imply errors. (Except the one in the previous post "Unable to rebuild path cache")
I should add that the backup this morning took well over an hour, at which point I stopped it. It was backing up roughly one day of changes -- not a whole lot of stuff. If I left it on all the time it would never stop working. And throughout the entire process the disk is making a constant churning noise with the head moving all over the place. Just doing a get info on backups.backupdb creates the same noise.
I've read the D2 section in the TM troubleshooting doc and I'm afraid I don't see anything relevant there. I'd long ago removed the TM disk from Spotlight indexing and I don't run an antivirus ap. I will run disk utility on the disk shortly.
My next step is to give up and switch disks. I've got a new 1.5T that I'm going to partition -- one for TM, one for everything else. And I'll start with a fresh backup. But this old backup has stuff going back nearly a year. If needed, can I unplug the new drive, plug in the old one and go back in time with it?
Thanks again,
Steve

Help! My optical drive has gone nuts!

I ejected a CD this morning and since then the optical drive has been making eject noises every 30 seconds or so, even though there's nothing in the slot. I tried rebooting the computer but that did nothing. I also tried restarting it and pressing on the trackpad to see if there was another CD stuck in it but nothing came out. Can someone please help?

You may need to take into an Apple Store

IdeaPad integrated webcam has gone nuts.

Hello.
I've been using my 11" ideapad netbook for about a year now, but today its camera decided to retire, I guess. Here's how the display looks like:
That's my window and some trees outside
I have absolutely no idea what's going on and since I know I can't play around with the green & purple image of myself for long, I need some help.
Thanks in advance.

select your model and operation system from the link below, download and re-install drivers.

HT1349 My camera has gone black

My camera is not working. When I tap the camera I on it goes to a black screen. What's wrong?

Try closing the Camera app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My CPU Has Gone Nuts

Observing either iStat or Activity Monitor my two CPU windows usually show about the same amount of activity. In iStat this looks like a blue, wave line across the bottom of the squares representing the CPUs. (Core 2 Duo) Usually the windows seem to be pretty much in sync.
There were some Apple updates waiting for me last night, one was a Mac OS X update but I didn't really pay close attention. I installed the three that were there.
This morning when I booted my MacBook I noticed one of the CPU windows was maxed out and the fan was running. The fan never runs when I boot. Then the one CPU window would show the activity go down to nothing and the other CPU window would max out. I've never seen this before.
The CPU temp varies from 65 to 73, doing nothing. I removed all auto launched apps at startup, shut down the computer, then restarted it. No diff.
Any ideas?
BTW, I realize my fan is always running, what I meant was it's not usually working hard enough to hear it.

lol Staying one step ahead of you.
Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest driver. But that wasn't the problem.
I had sent a print job to the printer the day before, but nothing happened so I assumed it was a wi-fi issue and didn't feel like dealing with it then. No print dialog or error message had come up. Turns out the printer decided it was out of ink even though there is still a little ink left in the cartridge. (At what works out to about $1000.00 a gallon for the stuff I'd like the choice to run it dry) So I guess the driver was saying "Print!" and the printer was saying "No!" and neither displayed an error message or dialog box of any kind. Once the MacBook was restarted the argument would continue.
The most annoying aspect of the whole situation is that it seems to be a bug in that part of Lexmark's software that tells you it's time to replace your ink cartridge. God forbid you should get a few extra pages out of a cartridge.
Thanks for your input.

Gutenprint quits repeatedly & Epson Driver has gone nuts

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, when I attempt to print from my Epson R340, Gutenprint quits the moment I click the "Print" command in the printer setup window.
On the other hand, when I print from Photoshop, I somehow end up in what looks like my normal Epson print window, but the printer goes berserk and spits out several blank pages, two of which have half of my image printed on them.
Comments appreciated.

Did you possibly have a later version of Gutenprint installed before you updated? OS X 10.6 ships with Gutenprint v5.2.3. A later version of Gutenprint was released shortly before OS X 10.6 shipped and did not make it into the OS X 10.6 release.
If you had the latter version of Gutenprint installed before updating to OS X 10.6, the Snow Leopard installer will make your printers stop working. The solution is to reinstall Gutenprint v5.2.4. This is available from http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
If that is not your case, please use a web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:631/admin/log/error_log? This will display the CUPS error_log. There should be an error notice (begins with 'E date...' there followed by multiple lines of debugging information (begins with 'D date...'). Please post the error message and perhaps 50 to 75 lines of the debugging information.

Back light has gone on my iPod touch 4th gen

Hey guys
I wondered if it would be easyer totake my iPod touch to the apple store or a repair shop in my town
What worrys me is how much apple will charge as my iPods warranty ran out last year :-/
Thanks :)

Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price.

A third-party place is likely less expensive.

IPhone 5 camera has some minor, yet annoying issues. Help!

Well, to get to the point my back camera has spots on it.. Whenever I try to take a picture there is a violet, purple, dash on it followed by some gray, shadowy circles. I tried to clean the lens and I blew on it a couple of times but it just doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm still under warranty so could they fix or replace this?

I bought it from Amazon from someone who previously owned it and it came with a few light scratches, nothing major. I'm not sure if the previous owners caused this to happen because since I had it I have taken great care of it and just recently I found the spots on the lens. Is there still a possibility they can fix it? Thanks for your help! (:
