No power when I open laptop.
No power when I open laptop, I have to remove the battery pack & then replace it & the power comes on so I can sign in. This has happened twice since May when I received it.Why does this happen ?
I received it in May, it was manufactured in Feb. It's model # is 2000-2b43dx. Normally I "shut down", once in awhile I put it to sleep. The two times this happened it won't turn on with the power button, but yesterday I could see a real faint light in the screen when I flipped open the lid, but couldn't get it to power on. I took the battery pack out , then when I replaced it, opened it, the power came on. Could something be going wrong with the battery pack already ? I always keep it plugged into electric & very seldom use it on battery. Thanks for any advice.

White screen when I open laptop
When I close my Laptop at night, I'm having a problem the next morning. Almost every night, I close the MacBook, don't turn it off, then next morning when I open it, I can see the screen, but there is a white screen over it. I can hear what seems to be the disk drive start, then the laptop finally starts, slowly. The mouse and/or mouse pad don't want to work at first, then decide to start up. What's up with this???
Is the battery completely dead or does it just have a low capacity (meaning it doesn't last very long if you use the laptop on battery power)?
Sounds to me like you're seeing Safe Sleep. Does the image in this article look familiar?

Ejecting noise when I opened laptop lid?
When I opened my lap top this morning, the DVD/CD drive made an ejecting noise but there was no disk in there. Never happened before…just wondered why this would be and if/what I should do about it?
MacBook Pro 10.8.5Usually when you boot up a Mac with a built in drive you will hear a brief sound as it checks whether there is a disk there it needs to mount, so that is most probably what it happening.

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -

I have tried a soft reset and uninstalling and reinstalling my email accounts. It crashed when I was trying to refresh my emails and a video emIl came through. Any advice please?
Hello Hobbit80,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your iPhone.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?
BigTex415,
my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it. -

After your restart your Mac, click the Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btwI dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
That means you imported one Library to another.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
So, what to do?
Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.
Regards

Hi there,
This is exactly what it says in the title.
I got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 (from W7), but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears. I must restart PC in order to get the taskbar back.
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thanks.Hi Paul ,
I would like to know does this happen in case of Acrobat only or while accessing any other applications as well ?
Are you able to see the taskbar before you access any application?Or it just disappears when you launch Acrobat?
You can try repairing Acrobat once and see if that fixes the issue.
If that does not work ,you can try uninstalling Acrobat once and install it again.
Please refer to the following as well and see if that helps.
Regards

When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I solve this?
When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I rectify this?
That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I downloaded Piezo to my iMac about a month ago. Now I can't download it to my laptop even though I have authorized the MacBook Pro in iTunes. When I open the App Store, the Piezo app indicates that I have to pay. How do I download Piezo to my laptop, which I am entitled to do?
I'm running Snow Leopard on my iMac. I have a heap of documents that were created using an old word processor application called Apple Works and it wont work on Lion or Mt Lion. So I'm stuck with Snow leopard for the moment. I guess I can't use the new iPhoto either then...

I just bought a Dell Precision M3800 laptop - screen res 3840 x 2160 when I open photoshop the task bar and tools and layers etc are in 4pts size I changed my % in my image in my control panel and if I go to open file the drop down boxes are in good pt sizes how do I make the layers and tool bars bigger? Please help@
Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded. Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows. Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution so it uses its pixels however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display. Other application let Windows scale their display output. For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels. The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays 2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
The reg update and external manifest file effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution. Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768. Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display 3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel. 1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement. -
