My PC has blue screened twice in the past week so I force quit it it came back on a few times after that it is now grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is there and it is trying to boot up but nothing happening

My Mac has blue screened a couple of times this week it started to work a couple of times after that but now it is grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is also there it is trying to boot up again but won't. Not sure don't know anything about how to fix things but I suspect the fan has stopped working as I can't hear one. The problem I have I now live in Turkey and I am 1000 km from the nearest apple shop which is in Istanbul I believe and I now live in Didim, Altinkum I don't trust the everyday Turkish shop to take it to as they will tell you they know how to fix it but will probably make it worse, typical in Turkey. Please can someone help as we use it for our business and obviously I need it up and running ASAP I am using IPad and iPhone at moment but can't access my files which are on PC.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • M40-237: small lines from top to bottom on the screen

    I have installed DirectX 9c Feb 2006.
    When I'm Trying to play a game , in the center of the screen there are small horz. lines from top to bottom.
    How can I solve this problem ?
    Thanxs.

    Hi
    Before you try to solve it you must find out why this happen. As far as I know this unit is delivered with DirectX V9.0C. Did you have this problem before latest DirectX installation?
    Are those lines there just when you start the game or all the time?

  • I opened my brand new MacBook Pro the other day and noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is it from and how do I get rid of it????

    I am having a problem with my brand new MacBook Pro. After opening my laptop the other day I noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is this from and how do I get rid of it? It is most annoying. Please Help!

    Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

  • I have an iPod Classic and when I try to move songs from my library to my iPod, my iTunes freezes. When I tried to eject my iPod, nothing happened and I had to force quit iTunes. When I unplugged my iPod, all of my songs had been deleted. What can I do?

    After attempting to move songs from my iTunes library to my iPod Classic, the pinwheel kept spinning and iTunes froze. I tried pressing CTRL E to eject the iPod, but nothing happened. I unplugged the iPod then force quit iTunes, but when I checked my iPod all of the songs had been deleted. I tried plugging the iPod back in and slowly moved music over again, but iTunes still froze. I don't want to restore it to factory settings because I am afraid of losing the pictures I have on there and can't figure out how to get them off.

    Are you using a Macbook?
    If all your songs on the iPod are deleted, most likely the photios are gone too.
    Unless you put the photos, via Diskmode.
    To recover the photos that you've put in Diskmode, use Finder to locate where it is in the iPod.
    Try also if iPhoto can locate those photos.

  • My iPhone 3G has a dark verticle line from top to bottom on the screen and no home screen, why , and what do I do to fix it?

    As stated above, it is also fully charged and I reset it by holding down home and top button. This is my old phone and was given to my nephew to use as a iPod to play games. It is not being used as a phone, I have the five. He showed it to me on FaceTime and it originally had several stripes about one quarter inch wide, grey and dark grey and verticle top to bottom. After I had him reboot it by holding down the two buttons, it just has one stripe down the middle vertically. Is it dead? It's way out of Apple Care. Also he says the home key doesn't work but he activated some other " button" that appears on the screen and acts like the home key. I have no idea what this is. Thanks for any help. Jon

  • HT1688 My phone turned off while i was texting. I not sure what happened because the battery was at 72%. I tried turning it on but nothing happened.

    MY phone turned off while texting battery at 72%. I tried turning it on but screen stays black.

    First, try to reset the phone by pressing the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, connect in recovery mode, explained here:

  • Can Demantra split the data from top to bottom the way we mention?

    Hi,
    I have below requirement. I load forecast from external system at highst level. For e.g. Total revenue forecast for next Quarter is $100 million.
    When I load this figure into Demantra, thru integration interface, it splits down across Regions using proport logic. For e.g. I have 3 regions and the percentage split is 30%, 30%, 40%.
    Now users would like to change(override) the forecast percentage to 20%, 30%, 50% for these 3 regions. How to apply these changes to underlying forecast quantities. Also I would like to store the changed quantities to database.
    Appreciate your ideas.....

    Hi,
    As per my understanding
    Revenue forecast = final forecast * selling price (unit price)
    Is it correct?
    If you are going to bring it from legacy system, let me know how revenue forecast is calculated.
    Is it Revenue forecast or Budget you are talking about?
    Check whether following options will help you:
    1 Override the final forecast to meet the revenue forecst value (say 20%,30%,40%)
    2 Create a new series finalff1 where finalff1=revenueforecast/unitprice, it will let you to compare finalff1 with final forecast series
    3.Modify final forecast expression so as to give weightage for revenueforecast based on baseline or revneue forecast.
    Tks

  • When I try to open Author Search in SCOPUS, it gives me the trying to open symbol, but nothing happens?

    When I open SCOPUS and fill in the "Author Search" subprogram, the symbol indicates searching, but the search is never satisfied. I can access SCOPUS by way of Safari, but my default program is FireFox and I would like to know what the problem is. I have tried clearing the cache, but that doesn't help. I also have some problems with NCBI BLAST when I use FireFox but not when I use Safari.

    Do you know if there is a free way to test this so a volunteer can take a look? If not, you might try submitting a support request after trying the below general advice.
    * Contact: http://help.elsevier.com/app/ask_scopus/p/8150
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Cache - you already did this part
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

    Then try reloading the page. After logging in again, any improvement?

  • The box in my Photoshop Elements, which shows the size and types of brushes has shrunk to one unreadable line. How do I expand the box to its original size?  I have tried dragging it open but nothing moves.

    Well, when you open the program, the splash screen, the window you see while the program is opening, should make that clear enough. For example:

  • X220 dead pixels from top to bottom

    I have had my X220 Tablet for 18 months (purchased November 2011), my one year warranty expired (received no notification it was going to expire back in Nov 2012) but had no problems at all during these 18 months.
    Now, I just turned it on today (July 3rd, 2013) and had a vertical blu-green line from top to bottom at 18.5mm from the left side of the screen. I figure a whole line of pixels of one color (red) had gone off, so it is not a single pixel, it is a whole line.
    I use this convertible tablet about 20% of my time, my workhorse is provided by my workplace (a Dell convertible tablet).  So I was surprised that with so little use the screen has gone bad so soon, and just six months after warranty has expired, and it seems it may get worse.
    I also thought when I purchased it that the screen was LED, then found that it is a LCD with a LED backlight.
    Is the only solution to replace the IPS screen (it's has a multitouch panel)? or is there a software or BIOS solution?
    And if the solution is the replacemente, approximately how much the replacement screen costs?
    Any help, suggestions are appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum!
    The LCD panel will have to be replaced, I'm sorry to say.
    Good luck.
