please help!!!

Just so you know, Apple's "base users" as you call them are Baby Boomers like me.
Apple's main target group--> & the generation. That is where the $$$$ is coming from. Matter of fact, that is WHO has all the $$$$.
Apple is a business. Not a mom & pop grocery store. And, like any huge corporation, it's all about the money. You go where the bulk of it is.
Any problems you had with Apple Customer Service you should have taken it up w/the person(s) supervisor and/or manager and Customer Relations followed up by snail mail.
As for HP customer service, their main calling center base is located in Shing, Hong Kong.
As for "saving up" for the purchase of an HP computer, don't forget you also have to "save up" for the purchase of virus & firewall software protection. Last but not least, the Windows OS & their software are purchased seperately.
Hopefully, you will reconsider your decision & stick it out w/Apple.
Yes, I have to agree this site is quite buggy which Apple is trying to "repair".

  • How to import mpg files & quick time question

    Hello. I found some previous answers here and followed them, which brings me to now. I bought the QT 6 MPEG-2 PLAYBACK-MAC OS X-INT plug in to allow me to bring mpg files from my sony digital camcorder. I keep getting a message that 'this file is not a movie file'. I don't know how to tell if the MPEG-2 plug in is installed, how can I find out in Quick Time? I have Quick Time Pro.
    What application would be best for me to start editing movies? I have IMovie 6.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi Trib and welcome to the forums!
    Mpeg2 is the standard compressed final delivery format of a DVD, and is not intended for further editing.
    You need to convert your mpeg2 files to a DV stream that you can edit in iMovie 6.
    For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin which you have already installed.

  • No image, just sound - also for Quick Time questions

    Hey everybody!!
    I am editing a movie on Final Cut Pro, and I use Quick Time Pro to capture the clips and source them to FCP. The type of recorder I am using is an HDV, and up to a couple of days ago, things ran smoothly.
    Then I started having problems with my Mac, of a different kind, and I had a friend of mine RESTORE my system. After that, I can't work on my film anymore, cause the Quick Time files from Capture Scratch only play sound, and have a blank screen. Every time I try to open them a window box appears, telling me that Quick Time is missing some components, and cannot play the clips properly. I tried downloading most of these programms, like Divx and On2, but the clips still can't play. I also tried erasing and re-installing Quick Time, but this doesn't seem to work either.
    I must have edited and delivered this video by tommorow, so what do I do??
    Please advise.
    Thanks.
    Stef.

    First, you should NOT be capturing your clips via QT Player - use FCP itself to capture. Otherwise you have no logging information. This is bound to create problems for you, and today's issue could be a byproduct of this workflow.
    Second, once your system was restored and updated, the system and FCP software versions are almost certainly different. Different versions of software produce different results, and one possible outcome is that you cannot view clips, as the codecs have changed. So - what version of OSX and FCP were you using before the restore, and what versions are you using now?

  • I get a quick time ? mark on some websites

    i dotn understand why...and can some one tell me how to take that off so i can watch the video or music....mostly shows up on myspace
    HP   Windows XP  

    Because iPhoto has lost the link to the actual photo.
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Question Mark in Quick Time          Please Help :(

    On certain websites, such as this one, when I try to play a video, a question mark appears over the quick time logo and it doesnt play the video. Ive searched for answers on here but I cant figure it out
    Thanks for the help

    No matter what you do you'll get the same result. Use another app. to view quicktime on the web. and don't get the pro quicktime, it's as bad. I don't use quicktime any more even in itunes. If you down load to an Ipod, use Isquint, 3 full lenth movies in less than 1 gig on Ipod.!! try that with quicktime! Try even copying to anything else than your computer.

  • BIG QUESTION Q MARK from Quick Time

    Hi, I need some help. I get the question mark in the QT logo. I tried everything posted before.
    I tried the System Folder.
    I tried the QT preference.
    I 'unmarked' the flash thingy.
    I installed the Flash 9.
    I used the Disk Utilities.
    I got the Preference Treatment.
    And still get the big question Mark in the QT logo.
    What other solution do you have?
    Thank you.

    Peacekeeper227, To Apple Discussions.
    Which browser & version are you using?
    Quit QuickTime.
    Open User (Home)/Library/Preferences and delete any .plist file with QuickTime in its name. Don't worry as a new one will be created.
    Open System Preferences/QuickTime and see if the window and tabs work as they should.

  • Flashing question mark folder, 3 times this week on my imac : (

    My intel based 3.06 GHz imac this week is showing a flashing question mark folder. A friend says is that the hard drive is toast but well twice it was solved quickly. First time on monday I did commandoption+pr to reset NVRAM and it worked. Second time yesterday i pressed option during startup and i selected my mac os x volume. But well today nothing works : (
    This flashing question mark is constantly showing up. any ideas how to force my imac to select the hard drive mac os x as the startup disk?
    this doesnt work:
    1. pressing option to select startup disk as i did yesterday.
    2. when trying to boot from mac os x install disc pressing c during startup the imac ejects the dvd.
    3. trying to start up in safe boot mode (pressing shift), verbose mode or single user mode all fails, just the flashing annoying question mark folder again.
    I was reading that i could use ubuntu live-cd to transfer my data from ubuntu to an external hard drive. I downloaded, burned and then it does shows the ubuntu cd to install ubuntu (the mac os x install disc is ejected but the ubuntu cd works), but i really dont want to install ubuntu X_X I just want my imac back without installing any linux stuff.
    I can do target mode with my other macs but the imac hd doesn't show up in the other macs, any way to force the HD to show via target mode in the other macs?
    Any ideas? I guess my disk is failing and thats why i have been receiving these question mark folders 3 times this week.
    Message was edited by: AppleSensei

    if someone has the same issue, i just want to notice i solved it using ubuntu -linux- and transferring the files to an external hard drive from ubuntu, reinstalling mac os x again. When i did target mode with another mac the hard drive didnt appear in finder, but with ubuntu all worked great, i saw my files and then problem solved, i saved my data ; )
    I did found annoying using ubuntu to solve this issue with my mac, but well i learnt something new, linux can also be useful when you don't want your data to be deleted as customer support told me they were going to do if i sent my mac.

  • Safari won't open. Firefox disappeared, only question mark. Mail doesn't have content. Time Machine won't turn on because sparse bundle is in use. Please help.

    I had this issue about a month in a half ago and it was fixed by a local technician. I no longer have access to him and I really need some help. The issues are as follows:
    Safari will not open.
    Firefox disappeared. No icon, just a question mark in it's place.
    When I open mail it shows I have new messages but the content is blank.
    Time Machine cannot turn on because sparse bundle is in use.
    New files that were made are no longer available. It's almost as if the computer jumped back in time.
    The Mac Mini is running Mavericks 10.9.5

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbols appeared on all my hard disk

    I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

    mpagan47 wrote: a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders.
    Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to?  Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock? 
    More then likely they are  an alias that not longer point to the orginals,  thus the question mark.
    I would reboot.  Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove.

  • My Macbookpro will not start up.  At first it was showing a gray screen with a flashing folder and question mark.  I went through the steps to repair with disc utility and this did not work.  How do I back up my data, without time machine activated?

    I need to back up my files and date before erasing my drive, but my time machine backup is not coming up.  How do I access my hard drive to back up my files?

    A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
    Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
    Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
    When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
    Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
    You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
    (If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

  • HT2433 My laptop opened with a grey flashing file folder with a question mark inside it .  How to to open my laptop!  I have tried fir e clising several times and restArting  nope nada!

    My laptop opened with a grey flashing file folder with a question mark inside it .  How do  I open my laptop!  I have tried force closing several times and restArting  nope !  nada!  Suggestions?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.
