If it is giving a single beep every two seconds, then it is not seeing any of the memory. You could try taking the back off, remove the memory module and reinsert to see if that corrects the problem. Or just take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs do that for you.
If you are uncertain about working on the memory modules, you can find on-line videos for doing so at OWC, http://www.macsales.com where you can see the procedure for your year, make and model of MacBook Pro.

All my downloaded (digital copies from dvds) won't play in itunes. I get a black screen and no sound, but the time keeps moving. How do i fix this?
Hi 22chill,
I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 3 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -

Newest version of firefox, and flash. Tried clearing cache. Been having this problem for a year or more.
No mater what I do, if I open a youtube video in firefox, my pc crashes. Black screen and I have to hit the manual reset button. No error report to send, no idea why this happens. It does not do it when using chrome.
Really irritating and going to cause me to give up on using firefox if I cannot find a solution soon.You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Can you check the Windows event log to see if that gives any clues about the Windows crashes if you get a BSOD? -

Macbook Pro won't start up, only to blue screen... no options work!
Yesterday I installed Skpe and later in the day noticed my calendar lost all it's info (no one has access to my laptop). I did a restart and still no info on my calendar.
I probably did something I should not, because of security issues I went in an locked several folders. A few in my library as well. I am afraid maybe this caused some of my issues. After I restarted I get the sound, the apple, but after that the blue screen and spinning wheel. It spins for 5 seconds then is blank and blue for another 5 and just keeps doing that as long as I let it.
I have tried safe boot, but after the long restart it does the same thing. I have also tried with the Leapord disc one, it will not boot from that, even with the "c" button held down after restart. I did a hardware check both with that disc (holding the "d" button down on restart), it checks the disc but finds nothing and of course I can not see the hard disc to turn anything off. I also tried starting with the "option" key, that was unsuccessful also. It showed the "Macintosh HD" icon, the proceeded to do it's progression of what I initally mentioned. Help, did I do myself in locking folders... or could this be from installing skype? It was the only install other that updating the software yesterday.Hi claudia:
fsck is a disk repair utility like Disk Utility. The name is short for FileSystemChecK. Since the
Disk Utility framework is not loaded in single user mode, fsck must be used to repair the disk
instead as it does not depend any core services or frameworks to be loaded into memory in order
to run. Unlike Disk Utility, it does not automatically repeat repairs until all possible repairs are done,
thus requiring a little more user interaction than Disk Utility, but other than that, it basically carries
out the same disk repair functions as DU, you may have manually repeat running it though until
it repairs all errors it can repair.
The reboot command is simply a way to gracefully exit single user mode whenever your done doing
everything else. Like the door, you do not use it until its time to go.

20" imac gets random black screen and wont wake up.
O.K. this imac randomly goes to a black screen while your using it. It looks like it's asleep accept the light in the front doesn't pulse and it wont wake up.
If I hit the power button to put it to sleep I can then wake it up.
I tried resetting the SMU but have had no luck (not sure if it's even resetting seeing the date and time are still good) not sure why seeing resetting the SMU is a very simple processes.
It's a 20" intel imac 2GHz duo with system 10.4.11 (early 2006)
I was going to reinstall 10.4.11 to see if that helps and wanted to see if anyone else knows what to do. Its very random and seems to be getting worse, sometimes as soon as I get it fixed it goes black again. It usually only takes 15-30min after start up and doesn't matter if your using it or not.Hi all,
my first mac ever was also an Early 2006 20" iMac and it had the same symptons as yours late last year.
Tried all I could think of and then took it to an Apple Dealer here in Hamburg.
Turned it was the Power Supply Unit (both of them) and a repair (out of Applecare obviously) would have been in the range of about 500 Euros (material plus manhours).
So I decided to not get it repaired.
Regards

I purchased a computer with Windows 8 and installed the 8.1 upgrade. I installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and have had error messages about specific fonts not being present but the document opens just fine. Other times (about half the time) the document will not open or opens as a blank screen, and eventually Adobe Not Responding appears, with the usual choices to close or look for a solution. If I look for a solution it tells me that no solution was found. I have not found any information online about this problem. I have used Adobe Pro in previous versions in a Windows 7 and Windows XP environment and not had any problems. Is there a simple solution to this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe, and still no luck.
Hi nausm,
Is this issue specific to the pdf files or do you face the issue with any pdf you try to open?
Which application was used to create these pdfs?
Have you updated Acrobat to v11.0.7 and checked?
Are you able to launch Acrobat standalone app without clicking on any pdfs?
You are getting error related to specific fonts because the document might have the fonts that are not available on your computer.

How do I bring up iPhoto after it seemed to crash while I was using it? All I get now is a black screen with a circle of rotating bars. I have closed it, and restarted after putting the machine to sleep and after shutting it off altogether; no luck. Everything else is working fine.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why do I get a black screen and no sound when playing video in iTunes 8?
Just downloaded the new iTunes. I don't have any video playback when I click preview in the store. No video when I try to play anything that I've already downloaded. The play cursor moves but I have a black screen with no sound. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch.
Any recommendations? I'm using the latest version of Leopard 10.5.4 on an Intel iMac.Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back -
