Replaced LCD and now laptop won't sleep

Hi everyone,
My LCD on the MB Pro shattered so I ordered a new one and replaced it myself. Everything went quite smoothly, except now the computer won't sleep. When I shut the screen, the apple stays lit up and the sleep light never goes on. If I choose "sleep" from the Apple menu, the screen goes black and it does appear to sleep, but the sleep light never goes on. Anyone have a clue what I may have forgotten to reconnect? Thanks. Sy

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One thing to check is to be sure the sleep LED is plugged into the logic board. Especially since it does not come on even when "sleep" is selected from the menu.
The other thing to check is the sleep magnet location on the LCD panel. Check that it is correctly positioned. Polarity makes a difference. If it is missing, replace it with a new magnet.
Good luck!

I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all

I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".

Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...

Replaced Itouch 2nd generation LCD and now it won't charge

Hi everyone and thank you for the warm welcome to the forum!
I feel bad but i have to ask for help already
I recently purchased a 2G itouch from my friend because half of the LCD didnt work and he got a new one
I ordered the replacement LCD and it arrived and while attempting to take the front panel/digitizer off, none of the clips would pop so out of frustration i basically just pryed it open, breaking the panel/digitizer
This wasn't an issue for me, however, because there were a few scratches on the front that I wanted to see gone anyway so no sweat
Later, though, I continued disassembly and while unattaching the LCD ribbon, I managed to clip the home button conductor (the actual button beneath the panel button) and it came off. Nothing is wron with it except that it is no longer in place
Through all this dismay, I managed to keep my composure because I got the new LCD installed and I plugged it into my computer and it powered up with a very crisp, beautiful display. But once again, that wasn't the end of it. After unplugging it a few times, it now wont read that it is charging, or that it is plugged in at all for that matter. I know the cable and usb port are both good because I attached a co-workers itouch and it charged just fine.
I guess through all of this, I have 2 main questions:
1) Can I solder the Home button conductor back onto the place where it belongs? (I can see the part on the board where it attaches)
2) Is there any possible explaination as to why it wont charge now, other than my awesome luck may have made the dock connector happen to go bad at that very moment?
I just wanna thank everyone in advance for the help and I know that through everyones commbined experienece and expertise, we can get this problem fixed

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. Also, iOS 7 seems to make the iPod more sensitive to bad cables.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Replaced router and now XP won't boot

Okay, hope this makes sense. Had a Linksys (older model) and removed to place a new router in with more power. Got setup and didn't remove old wireless connections beforehand and now, I can't boot up Windows XP unless in Safe Mode. Not sure if I have to remove the Networkname or what, but its late and I've probably been looking at this too long. After spending time with ISP trying to get them to reboot modem so connection would work, something got hosed up along the way.
Any help on trying to fix would be greatly appreciated!

Hi… I don’t this has anything to do with Network Name or old Wireless Network connection. Might be some of the system files are missing or gone corrupt. I would suggest you boot the system in safe mode and restore the system to a restore point dated 15 days back. This will help you to boot the system in normal mode.

HP pavilion 751n desktop recently replaced motherboard and now windows won't boot up.

Keep getting the screen asking to start in safe mode etc. Tried using the recovery cd to reinstall all of the programs but it says I can only use this on an HP pavilion, I'm guessing because I replaced the motherboard it is not recognizing the computer as one. Any way around this or is there something else I should try first? Running windows xp.

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
Best of luck.

My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD.

My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD to install the OS package. It would boot for a while, get through the first cd of install and would stop randomly in the next install. I found out that the installation disk was cracked so I went out and purchased the Mac Box Set which includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09 under advisement from an associate at the local apple store. Now, I try installing this new OS disk and all I get is the apple logo without a spinning wheel for about 10 minutes and the computer restarts and does it again. I have tried booting from disk, holding c while starting up, and in safemode, holding shift while booting. Please help save my poor poor macbook!!!

These errors look like corrupt or missing files that leopard requires. It sound like you need to start from scratch: format your drive, reload Leopard. I realize that this is probably what you are trying to do.
If you cannot boot from install DVD and cannot successfully get into Safemode or Single usermode (due to a corrupt or incomplete install) then you will need another computer to assist you.
If you can get it into Target Disk Mode and have another Mac you could plug it into that Mac and reformat it.
If it will not go into TDM then you may need to take it out and put it into an external enclosure to plug into another Mac to format it.

I installed snow leopard which I now realise that it was the wrong one because it came out before my laptop and now it won't changed from the grey screen with the apple on it how do I fix it ???

Apple - Support - MacBook Pro
Mac OS Version builds
When did yours come out? what does the above show as model and minimum build?
You should have yoru OEM OS X DVD, not one from another Mac, or retail, though the last retail OS X DVD was a year ago 10.6.3.
If it installed, I don't see an issue unless the drive had corrupt directory etc.
What you need to do is repair your boot drive or restore from backup.

I have recently updated my laptop to OSX Mavericks, and now it won't let me update apps...?

I clicked "update" and a pop-up told me to sign in as usual, but the username input was my old one and it was grayed out so I couldn't edit it and put in my current one. How do I fix this?

I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

IPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it wont charge or be recognized in iTunes; it's been like this for 3 days now. Please help,..Thanks!

iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
