Re-attaching the stand after having used the Vesa adapter

We have been using the VESA adapter for a year. In the instructions one uses a plastic card to release a mechanism allowing the screen to tilt forward far enough that the screews are revealed. The mechanism is stuck in this position and you can mount the vesa adapter easily.
We tired of having the mac on the wall and would like to reattach the original stand. No sweat, but it is stuck in the forward tilted position and pretty much unusable. Any ideas??

There is another thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8360295
Basically it sounds like you need to keep trying with the card and you'll get lucky. I'll be needing to do this myself when my new iMac arrives. I'll try to remember to post back about it, but that could be more than a week from now.

  • Installing LR on a Mac computer after having used the license on a Windows PC

    Hey guys,
    I just got my copy of LR yesterday after having used the trial version for a while. I'm using LR on a Windows computer, but I'm considering switching to an iMac some time from now. Will I still be able to use the same copy of LR on that computer, perhaps after uninstalling the software from my Windows pc?

    And no need to uninstall. Lightroom doesn't use the Photoshop method of keeping track of your installs. You are on the honour system here, and you're allowed two installs, anyway.

  • Promblems installing the CS5.5 design standard after having used the 30day trial version of Indesing

    I have downloaded & used the 30 day trial version of Indesign, and subsequently, I've bought the CS5.5 design standard.
    The trial version installed in my computer asks for the serial no. to continue using of the product.
    When I type the serial no. from my CS5.5 design standard package, I get a yellow triangle saying the serial no. is not valid for the product.
    What should I do to fix this?
    Must I uninstall the trial version and then install the CS5.5 design standard cd's? Is there a way to avoid this?
    Please help quick - I need this working by monday

    I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues.  Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time.  Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......."  There is no other Adobe product installing.  I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.  Please help.

    Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

  • G4 HiRes Powerbook shuts down after having closed the lid

    I own a less then 6 months old 15" 1.67 GHz HiRes Alu Powerbook. Every now and, after having closed the lid, I have observed that when I reopen the pb it has shut down. The battery is still fully charged, so it can't be the case that the pb has not gone to sleep and it has thus discharged the battery. I also think it has happend with both the power adapter connected and disconnected.
    In the past I deleted power managment pref files (can't remember the details) as advised by Apple in their tech papers, which resolved sleeping problems (not mine though :-))
    All tips appreciated.
    Thanks, Robert

    Occasionally with mine, it only appears to have shut down.
    I close the lid, and there is no pulsing light. the light is off as though its shutdown.
    then if I open the lid, hit a key or two, wait, then close it again, and wait, the pulsing light will appear and if I then open it, it will wake from sleep.
    Weird, but you might give it a go. This seems to happen often when running video-related applications, but I have no real data here and do not know what causes it. After I discovered this problem, I use it now to prevent having to lose my work and restart.

  • After having updated the software on my apple tv, i cannot set up home sharing on it (let alone itunes!) simply, the apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password anymore

    i have updated the apple tv software (on one apple tv, ihave 2) after having used for 2 years withou any problem.
    i tried to log in again to watch movies already purchased but i cannot. the itunes store is not available and the home sharing does not recognise my id and password. on my pc i have alsoupdate to the latest software my itunes.
    the second apple tv where i am still resisting tomupdate the software works very well as always.
    help!?

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • I just bought the revolution after having a blackberry and i'm looking for a notepad type software and a place to store passwords.

    i just bought the revolution after having a blackberry and i'm looking for a notepad type software and a place to store passwords.

    I use SafeWallet after trying most of the apps in the market place. It's a bit expensive compared to most and you have to pay for the desktop application which sucks but the other apps were some cumbersome I knew I would never use them after the initial setup.
    I'll add the normal caution of storing passwords in a non-protected text file but you probably know that

    I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

    I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
    also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
    I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

  • How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

    How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
    I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

    I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
    Read this from a site I found:
    Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
    On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
    Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
    If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

  • How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?

    How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?
    I have an external hard drive attached to my Airport Extreme and I can access it just fine through Finder.  I would like to be able to keyboard navigate to it in an efficient manner.  I tried to use the "Go to the folder" feature but was unable to.
    I had tried dragging the drive to the Network folder but the shortcut it created does not lead to the drive's contents...it seems to lead right back to the parent directory:
    I hope I explained the question well.  Thank you for all of your help and time in tending to my inquiry.

    Cant you set up "back to my mac" then go to finder preferences and put a check mark under everything under the shared location. Also set up back to my mac on your airport extreme.
