PLEASE HELP COMPUTER IDIOT ASAP

PLEASE HELP

  • Please help - computer turns off randomly

    I purchased my computer in the US in september - right before I moved to London. Mid november it died. The computer would turn on and chime, but the screen was dead. I took it to a 3rd party repair (which apple phone tech support insisted was just as good as the apple store) and they replaced the logic board. It all seemed fine until I took it home and used ichat video with my family - the computer turned off. It didn't shut down, just seemed to pause and go dead. I could reboot it and it had no recollection of incorrect shutdown with the exception of firefox. (I dont know if this is important, but every time it does this and i reboot, the sound resets to mute) I started to notice that the computer does this any time I use video functions for an extended period of time (or at least 20 minutes). I have brought it to the apple store twice, where they have repaired it twice. I have gone through at least one more logic board, a heat sink, something to do with the power adapter, as well as the battery. They cannot find anything wrong - 3 repairs later its still shutting down so I went to apple again. Unwilling to give up my computer YET again, they recommended I archive and install. I have now done that - now my computer is crawling - still crashing - and some programs decide to open up occasionally or start and stop without a crash notice. I tried to run disk utility and it froze. On top of this all, they recommended I download xslimmer to convert old power pc programs to the current intel format I'm running on my new macbook - this seems to have complicated things more. I asked them to replace the computer during my last genius bar visit, i was told that because my computer was purchased in the states they cannot replace it, and I will not be heading back to the states soon enough to have it replaced there. So anyone with any insight, please help! I bought a new computer so i wouldn't have to deal with these problems and its turning out to be more of a headache than my old powerbook g4.

    I also forgot to mention that every 45-60 seconds there are two faint tick sounds coming from inside the computer.

  • I followed all the directions on how to change my apple id. But when i try to change my primary email address, it wont let me varify? Please help!! ASAP

    Please Help!?

    You have to respond to the verification email that Apple should have sent to you by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  This would not normally be an @icloud.com email address.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • After uninstalling ITUNES and reinstalling the system, it is not syncing my devices which are IPAD and Ipod Touch.  Please help me out asap.

    Itunes closing out whenever I tried to synce my devices.  Please help me out.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITUNES too.

    Use Device Firmware Mode...
    1.     Turn off your ipod To do this, hold the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds, ignore slide to power off message.
    2.     Release the power button when you see the apple logo (keep holding the home button)
    3.     Keep holding until you see a message.
    Now restore from a backup!
    Alternatively you can wait!

  • Can't Import Purchased Music (please help an idiot)

    Please let me start off by stating that I must I must be an idiot! What is supposed to be simple is driving me insane!!!! Here it is....
    I have music on my work PC that I purchased from iTunes. I originally only used this PC for my iPod. I now have a PC at home and would like to transfer all the music purchased from iTunes on my work PC to the new, home PC and use the nome pc exclusively for my iPod.
    I have transferred songs from my work PC onto a thumb drive but they will not import into the new PC. If I insert the thumb drive into the new pc, I can click and drag the songs to my new library and they will play when I click on them. However, if I remove the thumb drive and click on a "transferred song" it says file not found and places an exclaimation point in front of it. If i search for the songs and try to "Import" them from the thumbdrive, iTunes won't let me. At no point does iTunes ever ask me to "authorize" the new PC (to play the songs transferred from my work PC). I can find no method for authorizing the new PC to play the work songs.
    I should mention that I did purchase several songs on the new from iTunes under a different account that I opened on the home PC and they play fine. The account that I have used on the work PC has three computers authorized (I should have 2 left). The account on the home PC has only one authorized computer.
    What am I doing wrong????? I do have a graduate degree in engineering but I am over 40....Please take this this obvious mental deficiency into account when responding.
    Thank you very much in advance

    Welcome, David, to the Apple Discussions!
    On your home computer, go to the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab and make sure that
    i Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library is checked.
    (That's the path in iTunes 5 and 6. If memory serves in 4 it was either the General tab or the Advanced tab under Preferences.)
    Then you don't actually "import" the songs from your thumb drive. Rather go to the iTunes File menu > Add Folder to Library command and select your thumb drive.
    Hopefully this will make things better. If not post back.

    Ever since upgrading to Leopard, my computer has been crashing a lot more. Sometimes it just freezes up.

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Please help an idiot - wireless speakers

    I bought the T12 Wireless speakers. I honestly read about them on a few different sites and never saw anything about them being wireless. Some folks talked about plugging them into their computer so I figured wireless was not an issue.
    Anyway, my laptop does not have Bluetooth so my question is: if I buy the connector from the speaker to my headphone outlet on my laptop (it did not come with the speakers) will I get the same sound quality OR should I just return the speakers and buy non-wireless ones?
    I will only be using these speakers with my laptop so I just want something I can plug into the laptop and have "real" speakers (not what comes out of the laptop itself).
    Told you I was an idiot...

    will that device work with a android smart tv as well do you think?

  • Please help, computer turns off on its own!

    New generation aluminum iMac turns off when it wants. It has happened 3 times now when I am using the computer it will just shut off.
    I do not turn the computer off, as I never have with macs, but always put it to sleep when I am not using it.
    After it turns off, I am able to turn it right back on using the power button and all seems to be normal.
    Any ideas for me!? Please!

    I'm glad someone else is having this problem. Mine has shut down 3 times as well. Each time I'm doing something different - so I doubt it's related to programs that are running, etc . . .
    Today I called AppleCare - they had me reset the SMC and PRAM as well as a couple other software things.
    It hasn't happened again - yet - but it has only happened about once every 2-3 days.
    I'll keep following for other good ideas!
