PB stuck in S-video out mode despite no s-video cable connected!

Greetings,
Earlier today I attached a TV to my computer's s-video out to watch some video, afterwards I disconnected the cable and went to use my computer as I would ordinarily. Unfortunately now my Powerbook still shows a TV as being connected despite the fact that there is absolutely nothing connected to the s-video out port.
So far I've tried reseting the PRAM a couple of times, repairing permissions, and clearing the system cache (amongst other cache items). Nothing seems to work. When in the display control panel I still see a 'phantom tv' connected and still have the option of arranging the displays.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and been able to resolve it without resorting to a visit to Apple Repair?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a_brody for trying to be helpful but in fact my primary display never was selected as the television, so it never needed changing back. All that is occurring is that my mouse (and occassionally windows that I'm moving around) will disappear into the 'phantom' secondary screen. Unless someone else might be able to suggest some other ideas about resolving this issue, I suspect that I'll have to pay a visit to an Apple authorized service center before my Apple-Care coverage expires this coming year.
Happy Holidays!

Video cable connections?

I have recently bought the new MBP clamshell and have the mini display port cable to DVI, and was wondering the best cables to buy to hook up to any TV screen. Ultimately I would like to be able to connect to composite yellow or S-video to standard TV's but also have the option to connect to high def TV's using high def cables. Anyone out there know what cables to buy or get? Also I dont mind going out and getting the mini display port to VGA if needed.

RET30yrs, welcome to the forum.
Here is a guide to help you troubleshoot the power supply unit (PSU). If the PSU has failed, here is a guide to help you replace it.
Here is a 300W PSU replacement for your computer. I don't know anything about the company, however. It would be good to check them out before buying from them.
I don't believe that you would see enough performance increase to upgrade the video card. There are only two, what looks like, PCI Express x1 slots on the motherboard; no PCI Express x16 slot. The more components, the more heat that is generated. A small case gets much hotter than a larger case. This is hard on components.

Nokia 5800 - No Support for TV out-mode?

I just recently realised that that is true for my set... That there is no support for TV out-mode... I've tried, audio comes out from my TV speakers but there is no visual. Is there anything at all that I can do to utilise this feature? I have after all been supplied with the wires and all...

The Whole Story As Below, Anyone Can Help?

Dear Nokia Careline,
The "No Return Policy" already be used here. Seem that I have no choice to go for other alternatives. Maybe I have to file the case to our local authority i.e. Tribunal Court Claim to exercise my consumer right here.
Perhaps, further blogs at Nokia discussion column, facebook, twitter might help to let others understand more about so-called Nokia Careline entertain their loyal customer.
If you insist your stand there, then I am always ready to go for my alternatives.
I won't let go unless you could satisfy me.

Dear Mr. X,
We appreciate your prompt reply.
We will be noting for concern as a feedback. However, please be informed Mr. Tan that Nokia has noted in the box regarding the said case.
The outage experienced by our sub-supplier was quite unexpected. Typically, the lead time for components such as this one is fairly long, and one cannot react to sudden changes at short notice. We value our relationship with our suppliers and sub-suppliers, and know that our sub-supplier is doing everything in their power to remedy the situation and return to regular supply.
The lack of TV out should not affect any other device functionalities besides that you will not be able to show/transmit pictures or video to external monitor/screen.
As Nokia does not have a replacement policy, we suggest to check with your dealer if they have a policy regarding exchanges.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

Dear NOKIA CARELINE,
Yap, you can tell me leaflet included & a tiny label on the pack box. But who will really check every single area of the pack box & read the whole manual or leaflet when they decided to buy the phone. What normally customer will check is the handphone and the accessories. Now you are telling me that customer have to check everything even they buy something from a reputable company like Nokia. If I going in a shop that sell a China like Nokia 5800 handphone and I bought it then I won't have a say here at all.
I have checked with my retailer they allow me to return the unit but I can't get full refund from them. They are going deduct a couple of hundred cause they said the unit is considered used unit now. According to them instead of asking customer to wait they prefer to refund the customer. So who is going to bear for the cost now.
I certainly frustrated by getting a unit that without TV out function. If you are telling me that once manufactured the feature could not be added in, then I would say if you do have a unit with TV-out feature now you could exchange directly to your customer. Why still ask your loyal customer like me to refer to dealer or retailer. Is that what you mean after sales service or NOKIA CARELINE. You don't even care in the first place.
Your apologies certainly couldn't be accepted with reason of Nokia did include leaflet to inform and tiny sticker at the bottom of the pack box. Sound irresponsible to me at all.
What I wanna your care now, that is pls exchange a unit with TV-out feature with mine in which without such feature. Do I really put the CARELINE into difficulty position. Your reply to me is highly appreciated and also to show that you care or don't care.
Regards,
XX

Dear Mr. X,
Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
Greetings!
In response to your inquiry, please be informed Mr. Tan that due to a component shortage, a limited number of Nokia 5800 Xpress Music has been manufactured without the TV-out functionality. It is possible that you have one of these devices. In that case, the sales package should have a sticker on the package and a leaflet inside the package that inform about the lack of TV-out functionality. Also, the TV-out cable has been removed from the affected sales packages.
Kindly take note Mr. Tan that it is not possible to add the feature after the device has been manufactured. Therefore we have labeled the affected sales packages with a sticker and included a leflet that inform about the lack of TV-out functionality. Those individuals who wish to have the TV-out functionality should wait for a sales package that that has it again.
The new batch of phones should have the feature back. As this matter is clearly stated in the sales package, it is not possible to return to Nokia. However, you may check with your dealer if they have a policy regarding the return of the unit in exchange for a version that has the TV-out feature. Those individuals who wish to have the TV-out functionality should wait for a sales package that that has it again.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

[Message:I bought a unit of Nokia 5800 last week for my wife. I discovered that the unit I bought is without TV support because when I tried to connect the TV cable that I bought. I tried to check the manual & pack box then only noticed a small label on the pack box stated no TV out supported. The retailer informed me that they only aware about this when I complained to them. I checked the discussion blogs, some stated because of worldwide component shortage so such function being omitted. I can't accept such explanation because I feel like I was being cheated by Nokia. Am I buying a pirated product now. Oh come on, how could Nokia so irresponsible to deliver the product with imcomplete function since TV out in general or ealier batch was included. Could you imagine if next time the product is delivered without GPS function, camera support, wifi & etc. by giving excuses of worldwide component shortage.

How to save your photos after upgrading to iOS 6 OTA and stuck in DFU or Recovery Mode

Ive been working on this all day. I found somebody's JAR that is able to provide SSH acess into your phone even if you are stuck in recovery or dfu mode. I am running a macbook pro with win 64 bootcamp and couldnt get itunes 32 bit installed to work with the JAR so I restarted in MacOS rather than mucking around with getting itunes 32. I then clicked the JAR and mac asked to install a java runtime. After doing this, the JAR would run and eventually put my phone into a state where I could SSH into it. After that, I downloaded Cyberduck and copied /mnt1 and /mnt2 to my mac in case I needed anything off of these. I ran PhotoRec and it began to find tons of pictures, pdfs, and whatnor. Rather than wait for it to find the stuff I really wanted, I searched through /mnt2/mobile/media/dcim/ and got all my pics. Awesome. What a pain.
That took all day to figure out. Ugh.

Sorry, the link to the JAR is http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/ssh-working-on-ios-6.377392/

My iphone5 is stuck on "plug into iTunes" mode

my iPhone 5 is stuck on "plug into iTunes mode" and when i plug it in iTunes pops up with a message that says "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." can i not restore it?

Hello there, Brentsly9.
If you've getting the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then the following Knowledge Base article offers up the best steps for resolving your issue:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Use recovery mode
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

My ibook gets stuck on upload-and safe mode closes unexpectedly..

3 Questions. My 2nd one was not answered last time.
1) My ibook gets stuck on upload…and safe mode closes unexpectedly..How do submit this book if this keeeps happening. Im running out of time for christmas.
2) I've gone through checkout 5 times at $107 per time. Am I getting charged?

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is stuck in "plug into itunes mode" after trying to update to iOs 5.1 and receiving error (1).

Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is stuck in "plug into itunes mode" but will not recover when I plug it in. It is coming up as "unkown error (1)". Is there anything I can do?
Also, is there any way to recover pictures I have not yet backed up? They should be on iTunes, but do not show up when I plug the phone in or otherwise.
Is there any hope in saving this phone or is my best bet contacting Verizon or Apple to overnight me a new one?

From iPhoneWiki:
Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

Cursor issues, stuck on click and drag mode.

My cursor is stuck on click and drag mode.I assumed issue was faulty track pad. Purchased a magic mouse, and initially it was fine then the same issues started occurring. Is this a virus? Ran disk repair and permissions repair , no change.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Change the thin white border in lights-out mode?

It'd be nice if you could get rid of this border, or change it to grey or something... I couldn't find any way to adjust this, nor (surprisingly) much mention of it in this forum. Anyway, I find the bright white quite distracting.

I've just started using Lightroom, and whilst in general I really love it, I wasted about an hour looking for the preference to get rid of this garish thick white line in lights out mode.
In principle, lights-out mode is a brilliant way to review a photo without the noise of the interface.
However, I didn't take a photo of an incandescent rectangle, so why is this what I see in lights out mode - especially with darker shots?
I'd be just as miffed if you lined the edge of my picture with little yellow plastic ducks.
It is actually more offputting than the user interface. In the normal view, pictures are shown with a subtle shadow on a neutral grey.Why not use this by default?
If we are not to be able to choose how the edge is treated in lights out mode, then surely it's best to do nothing. I.e. just show the picture, but it would be better still if you could both choose the background picture and even how the edge is distinguished. E.g. 'don't show edge', 'show edge with shadow', 'show edge with line whose colour is ->(pick)' etc.
The other thing which would be good is if, in 'lights out mode', the image actually covered the available screen, or at least there was an option to zoom it to make the best use of the pixels available.
I signed up to this forum just to put this message up. If anyone else out there is irritated by this line, please add a message. Surely this matters to other people too?
please please please please please! (Is this helping?)
