My screen will no longer turn on, how do i reset my display settings on mac pro
Hi, i'm using a mac pro and cinema HD display, the display was usually set to using the power button on the side as an actual power button, i decided to change it to turn computer sleep mode on and off and it still worked fine whilst it was on, i then turned the set off for the night, the next day the screen did not come on with the computer and i cant turn the screen on becuse the button is set to sleep the computer. Any way to reset my display settings or turn my screen back on?. thnks

Installed SMC 1.3 update on 17 inch MBP - screen will no longer turn on!
Hey guys I downloaded this firmware update today on Software Update. The fan revved full speed (like it says it will) then stopped. After the restart my screen will no longer turn on. I have tried resetting PRAM, SMC, connecting an external monitor, and every other trick I can think of. The computer is still running as I can log in and use the function keys to change the volume up and down but the screen is solid black.This is the first issue I've had with the computer (purchased December 2007)and I DESPERATELY need to get it running ASAP! Anyone have any ideas?
[edit]
To elaborate, the first time I called Apple they told me to hold the power button until the computer made a noise and then boot up. That turned the screen back on and I got in and cleared the cache as they said I should. Next reboot screen was black again. Then when I reset the PRAM I got in. Reboot, black screen. Then finally when I reset the SMC I got in, same deal on reboot. Now none of those tricks works. Any way to downgrade the SMC? At least the previous firmware worked.
[/edit]Hi Balance ... in this case the weak link in the chain is your local dealer. It is odd that they "refuse clients" and Apple should be made aware of that as they are part of the support structure. Have you tried finding a kind ear at Apple who will take this on and intervene with a phone call to your local chappies?
I have also been an Apple purchaser for >20 years and this is the first time I have had a software update cause a hardware problem ... perfect storm ... a weak NVIDIA chip (mine originally passed apple tests but those tests only caught the really bad defects), an odd temperature response after the update, and a failure response that most service shops call "intermittent" (which makes them suspect it is your fault instead of Apple's. This is now a known issue linked into the update so if you find the right guy at Apple you may be able to persuade them simply to ship a new motherboard to you or the dealer...
Good luck but what, exactly, is a viable alternative to Apple?? I still keep my slide rule in my back pocket (and am now working from an old macbook while my MBP was in the shop for a week). -
My ipad screen will no longer rotate
my ipad screen will no longer rotate. How do I unlock this or do whatever needs to be done?
Have you got rotation lock on (is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator) ? If so, then depending on how you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set, it can either be turned off via the switch on the right-hand side of teh iPad, or via the taskbar (double-click the home button, slide the taskbar to the right, and it's the icon far left) - the function that isn't set via the switch is set via the taskbar instead. More info on the side switch/taskbar http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

After installing the above mentioned update, my ipad will no longer turn on. I have just a black screen with the apple logo when I attach it to a power source. Anyone else having this problem, please advise on how to fix.
IF RESET DOESN'T WORK, FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost -
My iPod will no longer turn on after I fully charged it. HELP!
I knew I should have never trusted Apple with personal files. I put all of my pictures from my digital camera (1,800 of them) on the ipod for "safe" keeping. Now my ipod will no longer turn on. I fully charged the ipod until the "charged" icon appeared. Then I disconnected it. A couple hours later I tried to turn it on and it no longer turns on. I've had this iPod for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery. It's been very good with me. The hold switch is NOT activated. I went through all of the common sense troubleshooting steps. I tried to reset the ipod. I tried recharging it on AC power. I tried reconnecting it via USB on computer. I tried the updater, which doesn't work b/c ipod won't turn on. I've also tried hitting it...jk. I also have 10,330 songs on here. This is my life on my ipod. I can't afford to lose this info. 60GB gone. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on
For both
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

HT1386 my phone will no longer turn all the way on or sinc... It just says activation required.
My I phone will no longer turn on all the way or conect with my computer all the way to sinc.... keeps saying "activation required"? How do I activate?
The only time I have ever seen that is when my SIM card is out of my phone. Try opening the sim card tray and then replacing it after a minute. Use a paperclip to pop the door open on the side of the phone (if it is a 4 or 4s) or on top (if 3GS) and see if that changes the alert message. Check back with status if that doesn't help. You can also trying a full restore by plugging it into your computer and opening iTunes. When it recognizes the phone click on the phone name in the left menu and hit restore. This will erase the phone but if you have a backup you can restore from that after it resets the phone or you can set it up as a new phone and start from scratch. Good luck, let me know if this helps.

Can someone help please. Since I updated my iPad to version 7.0.4 the screen opens in landscape but as soon as a select an activity it rotates to portrait and will no longer turn as I move the iPad. It is frustrating as I like to work in landscape. Any suggestions?
I do not know if this will work or not, but when my iphone (currently not behind bars if you know what i mean) goes into a recovery loop I use this trick.
first try to get your iphone onto to apple boot logo. you can do this by holding the power and home buttons at the same time. if you can do that you're in good shape, possibly.
Next try to power down the phone. since you can't do the "slide to power down" method you'll need to hold both buttons again. this may cause the phone to power down the up again, keep holding until completely powered down.
Once powered down press the power button and up volume button at the same time and hold them both until the apple logo comes up.
once the apple logo comes up then release the power button and continue to hold the volume button.
Your phone should boot up normally then be sure to go to itunes and backup.
I do not know for sure if that works on any iphone or just my iphone and the state it is in. but it sure is worth a shot.
Hope it works -
So my Ipod will no longer turn on. i leave it on my Ihome and nothing happens. whenever i try to turn it on i get the Apple logo and then it dies and says i should charge it, so i do and it does it again. What does this mean? is my battery totally dead? please i really need help
Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.
My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on. Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?
I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.

Hello - can anyone tell me why my iPad (4th Gen) screen will no longer rotate. I don't have a screen lock symbol next to the battery icon. I have the rotate icon on my desktop but still can't get the screen to rotate.
Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Rotation Lock on the far left of Task Bar.

I have just updated my OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 My in Design CS2 will no longer work. How do I up
I have just updated my OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 My in Design CS2 will no longer work. How do I update the software?
What you could do if you have to stick with CS2 is to have a bootable hard drive that is setup to be on Snow Leopard (10.6). For the times you need to use old software such as InDesign CS2, then restart the Mac and boot from the external hard drive into 10.6 and then you're OK. I use this method for any PowerPC programs I rarely use.

How Much RAM Do I Need in a Mac Pro to edit together hour-long videos for our church?
We need a new computer to edit video together for our services at church. We broadcast these videos each week, so we use our editing computer quite a bit. We also produce shorter videos for use online and in our services. Looking at moving to a Mac, and I'm not quite sure how much RAM we should purchase in a Mac Pro to avoid long rendering times. Obviously, we need to keep costs as low as possible, but we want something that will work, and last for a while. Thanks!
The fastest 6-core is the "sweet spot" in the lineup. near twice the compute power of the entry model at only 1.5 times the cost.
6GB is fine for "regular" stuff you do on a Mac. Video editing without pain often requires more ... up to as much as 24GB if you can afford it. Apple's prices for this are quite high (like a convenience store). Many folks buy aftermarket RAM from Mac-centric vendors who can tell Users what modules will work in their Mac -- "guaranteed or your money back".
You can run as few as a single RAM module in 2009 and later Macs. So when adding, choose the densest modules you think you might EVER need, to avoid throwing away less-dense modules later.
You also will need at least one drive (preferably two) in addition to the Boot drive. Paging and program access to the boot drive wrecks drive access for User data.
You also need a Backup Drive. Big (but can be really slow). -
I can't remember my answers to security questions and dont recall password. Also my recovery email is no longer active. How can I reset password?
You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.
