Please help. my phone won't open/start. how can i reprogram/reformat my phone
hi guys. i have a sony xperia arc s. when i try to open/start my phone, it will turn off eventually after the xperia logo appears. it will restart on its own and again, turn off after the xperia logo. this will just repeat and will not start the phone properly. i have to remove the battery to turn the phone off. i had it checked in cellphone repair shops. they told me that my phone's program is defective and i have to reprogram/reformat the phone. is there a way that i can reprogram the phone myself and avoid any repair costs? i can't open the phone so i can't do the hard reset or restore factory settings. thanks.

I click on one song and another one starts playing. Cover art for one artist shows up on another album. All of my music isn't showing up. Please help. Why is this happening? How can I fix it?
Sorry for not getting back with you...
That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
This is good you still have it.
Try this...
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
Does everything work okay? -
Hi People!
Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.Hi Alan,
Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now... -
Please help, my macbook pro is super hot, how can i fix it.
please help, my macbook pro is super hot, how can i fix it.
I am guessing you have just bought a new macbook pro, I did the same thing when I first unpacked mine.
You will get asked if you are using it on your lap, because they think that you are blocking the vents.
the macbook pro will get really hot around the E R T and F keys and I O P and L keys and the metal strip between the keyboard and the screen.
I have found the graphics accelerator heats the machine up more than the actualy processor.
you should report it to apple care before your 90 days is up, they may or may not send you to a genius booking. Just incase you have issues with your machine later due to the heat buildup early on, that way they have a log of the problem.
My macbook pro runs alot cooler than it did when i first got it, but still gets hot on heavy usage
You shouldnt really worry unless it shuts itself down as then you have some serious problems, when it gets hot u should be able to hear the fans running and it will prolly keep the temp aroun 101-104 c under heavy load. If you can't hear the fans, shut it down and take it back to the store.
Hope this helps you -

Please Help, Several Applications Won't Open!
I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this. Please point me in the right direction if it isn't. I just did a software update. The current "internet security update" was, I believe, one of installs (I wish I paid more attention). Now, I have several internet related applications that won't work. Safari, my browser of choice, won't open (I'm doing this on Firefox). My email app, Eudora, won't open. Quicktime won't open. I just tried reinstalling both Safari and Eudora. Both still won't open. I haven't done anything with Quicktime yet. Just checked other applications (RealPlayer, Windows Media Player). Neither will open. Is there a conflict somewhere? How can I resolve this? Please help!
Thank you.
FYI: I have a Titanium G4 550MHz PowerBook running OS 10.4.10.As others have noted, get a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup/clone before updating. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall everything.
These should get you pointed in the right direction:

IPhoto won't open! How can I get it to open?
(Hey, I just checked in after not doing so for many months........ and I like this new letter template!!)
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. (It says 10.6.5 below, but that has not yet been updated.)
The message window says that I have iPhoto 9.1.5 installed. At any rate, this is the iPhoto that came when i bought iLife '11. I have been keeping up with ALL updates. My system checks for updates daily.
I have seen some people answering similar questions, but they refer the person to a site where there are iPhoto downloads to newer versions. I do not need that if I am totally up to date, as my Software Update tells me.
After all this time of iPhoto working just fine, suddenly one day after I clicked on the icon in the Dock, a message came up:
"iPHoto cannot be opened because of a problem
Check with the developer or make sure iPhoto works with this version of the Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. BE sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X." There is more, but since I cannot copy and paste, I will just let all of it go.
OK, I am always up to date with updates because I have it set to check daily. Everything is up to date.
iPhoto was working fine with Snow Leopard up till recently when this occurred.
I AM able to access the photos in iPhoto via the iPhoto browser in Apple Mail!
Please help me open up my iPhoto app.
-L.To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List. -

Please HELP! Elements won't OPEN!!!
I backed up Elements 10 (17,000+ photos) and restored to a different disk (an SSD I love the speed!). While scrolling down screens, allowing new thumbnails to be created the program bombed/crashed/died. Now, when I open the program I see the organizer screen with the thumbnails for less than a second and then I am returned to the desktop.
I have uninstalled the program, erased everything in the install directory and re-installed... same thing. When I check the processes in the Windows Task Manager it shows Elements to be runnig as a process but not as an application.
I have also erased all the files on the new SSD so it has to be finding the thumbnails from someplace else. I also have the files that the backup was created from (1.5 Tb external drive), so it could be finding that. During one un-install I did get an error message that an INI file wasn't found but on retry the uninstall continued.
Please advise how I can get this fixed! I've not gotten any answers or replies on this and I need to be able to access my photos! There has to be a simple fix, probably an *.ini file that is pointing to an improper location. I don't mind re-installing, but surely someone can tell me how to get rid of all the files so I can get a clean install! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Please help - Photoshop Elements won't open
Hi,
I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine. Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer. I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop. After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program. (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "photo editor" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there. No error messages. If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
I'm running Windows 7. I tried uninstalling photoshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in. If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there. I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop. I can't do the restore to an earlier date, since I installed and uninstalled the program so many times, I lost that ability.
I see a lot of people asking the same question in these forums, but I don't see any answers. Can anyone help? I appreciate any assistance you can give me! I was so excited to use the program, and now it seems like I'll be shut out until I get a new computer, which is not going to happen soon!
Thank you,
HollyQuit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes. Now, it won't open. How can I fix this?
Recently, I downloaded iTunes version 10.5.3. Now, I double click it on my desktop, and in the iTunes process appears briefly in Task Manager. It gets up to the memory usage where it normally opens, but now, when it gets to that point, the task disappears, and won't reappear. I've tried many times to reopen it, but the same problem happens every time. I have already reinstalled iTunes, then removed it completely and installed it again, and the problem persists. Is there any way I can fix the problem?
Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR. -

Urgent: iMovie crashed and now won't open. How can I retrieve the movie I was working on?
I've been working on a university project for weeks now and was doing so this afternoon.
As I went to import a MP4 (just like I had done every time before) iMovie crashed.
Now when I try to open it, all I get is a black box with grey boarders at the top and left-hand side.
I've tried to get the movie from the iMovie library, and other sources on the mac, but I can't seem to find it.
The assignment is due next week, and the editing for the project is huge.
Is there anyway I can get it back?
I don't care about iMovie itself, as long as I can get the movie I was working on back.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try recent items.
Click your Apple top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Recent Items then look under Documents.
If that doesn't help, try a Spotlight search > Mac Basics: Spotlight
