Right USB port out...and then comes back

I am getting no power in the USB port on the right hand side of my Powerbook.
This is problem happened last week for the first time and I am not sure what i did while trying to fix it, perhaps restarted, muted the sound....and the power came back on.
Now no device is able to draw any power from the port.
Could you guys please help me?

As it turns out, the USB failed. The Apple people kept my PB and sent it for repair.
I dropped by the genius bar and left it with them on Dec 14 being told it would take 10 business days or so to get it back.
My trackpad button was very stiff, it stuck and had to press harder than normal to click. This was in effect since I took it out of the box when I bought it. Never bothered as I use a Bluetooth Apple mouse. Now that they kept it for repair for the USB port, they will also fix the trackpad.

  • HDMI output cuts out and then comes back, any ideas?

    Hi all.
    I have a two Dell U2412Ms connected to my MacBook Pro Retina. One is connected via a Displayport connection and the other via the HDMI. I used to have them both connected to the Displayport conenctors but have recently run a cable into my office and now have the ethernet dongle connected to one of the Thunderbolt ports.
    Since connecting a screen to the HDMI port, I've noticed that it does something odd from time to time. The screen connected to the HDMI port will go off for a couple of seconds, and then come back on again. It tends to only do this once per 'session' of me using the system. Most times when the screen comes back on, it is fine - but once it came back on the screen was going bananas. It appeared to be mostly grey, but looking closer revealed that all the pixels were going nuts, like a swarm of flies - and there was all sorts of colours going on! I had to unplug the HDMI connection (which caused my windows to move around) and then reconnect it, and then it was fine.
    This only happens when using the HDMI port, and is not the monitor at fault - I eliminated it by swapping the screens over so that the other one was using the HDMI .. and it still happened!

  • Can't SMS people who have gone overseas and then come back - weird!!!!!!

    I have a problem with my texts when OTHER people go overseas. When they come back from overseas they can text me but I can't return their text. This has happened 3 times now with 3 different people. I have tried deleting and adding their number and entire contact again, added and deleted the +61 before their number.
    One of the people's text came to me from their @icoud name but they were actually sending it from their phone and the phone setting said they had sent it from their actual telephone number.
    When i tried to reply it bounced back but when I returned text to their @icloud address it went through as a normal text and ended up their conversation thread from me.
    As I mentioned its only happened to people who have been overseas and then come back to Australia.
    Very confusing - any ideas anyone.
    thanks Craig

    Sorry it took me so long to write back, But unfortunately this didn't help my issue.
    My uncle and I did a lot of tests on this computer and have narrowed down the location of the problem a little bit.
    We tried to first reset the SMC and the NVRAM as suggested, but the only thing that did was make the fans run on full tilt for the first session after restarting it for some reason. After that we tried re installing OSX over the OSX that was already on the system (not removing any of the files). This also didn't do anything but make refit stop working. Then we moved onto the next task at hand by removing the hard drive entirely and booting it as an external drive from one of the USB ports... as long as you booted it with the options key held down, it worked perfectly fine. Then we put an alternative hard drive into the computer and installed OSX on that. This time there was no trouble booting anything up. Everything seemed to work flawlessly. So we made a backup of my original drive (OSX, Windows, and all) onto an external hard drive and tested booting to it via USB. That again worked perfectly fine and booted right up with no problems. So after that we formatted the original hard drive and reinstated OSX. We then proceeded to transfer all the old files from the backup onto this new installation and LOW AND BEHOLD..... we were back to square one with it refusing to recognize the hard drive again.
    So this basically told us that there appears to be something either wrong with the hard drive, or something got really screwed up in the software along the lines and by me copying all my old files back over, I just ended up bringing the screwed up file back over with it! (despite not copying over any settings of any kind) So I am still extremely confused as to what is going wrong... did some boot sector possibly get screwed up may be?

  • Machine randomly shuts off and then comes back on.

    Hello! Basically whats happening is my computer randomly shuts off (No blue screen just powers off) and then immediately comes back on.
    I am running three monitors and a single GPU.  This has happened in two different cities (I moved) I have the same surge protector - however, other things on the protector do not reset / go off (alarm clock no battery).
    Here are the crash dumps that microsoft said happened. (I uploaded three different ones) 
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/juwuzck8wpq6j0r/issues.rar
    I'm a pretty avid builder but I'm a bit stumped with this issue. The machine will, at random, shut off completely (including lights) and then come back on, during normal activities and gameplay.
    The temps do not appear to be reaching astronomic levels, maxing out at around 60-65c (cpu) and 45c for the GPU.
    Parts:
    cpu - i7 3960x (turbo enabled normal at 3.3, w/ turbo at 3.9ghz)
    mobo -  MSI X79A-GD45 /// Intel DX79SI (have tried both, it still happens with either, MSI is a new board.
    psu - 750 Antec Gold High Current Pro
    gpu - MSI Lightning 680 (no OC)
    sdd - samsung 840 pro 
    hdd - Black 1TB
    case - HAF 942-x
    cooler - x40 kraken
    ram - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (DDR1600)
    Here's what I tried
    1. Bought a new motherboard (MSI $260) to see if the issue would go away. - Failed.
    2. Was able to reproduce the issue VERY quickly when using the OC Genie2 on the MSI board, with teh button pressed, I could boot up OCCT and have it reproduce the issue with the power-off in around 2 minutes of the test. - Failed
    3. Attempted PSU and GPU stress test with stock BIOS, tests ran 1 hr+ each with no issues.  Shut down my machine and restarted it this morning and the issue came back within 5 minutes of use just sitting at the Windows Desktop. - Failed.
    4. Turned the 32 GB of ram to 1600 and enabled XMP, crashed after 3-5 days.
    5. Attempting to test each DIMM individually.
    6. Issue happened again after about two weeks of not happening.
    I've run OCCT for an hour with the "stock" bios and it didn't crash for an entire hour.  I've also attempted to use the "OC genie2" overclock function and that triggered a crash within 2 minutes of the run.
    Can anyone give me some more things to try? I'm thinking its possible it could be the PSU, but after running OCCT PSU test for 30+ minutes it had no issues.

  • Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

    photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

    When I close Firefox and then come back to it later a box comes up that says it's already running. It says to close Firefox first but when I hit close nothing happens and the box comes up again. I have to shut down my computer and restart to get into Firefox again. If I can't get this fixed I will start using someone else. Someone told me a way to close Firefox but I forgot what they said.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a couple of months ago

    Hello Brian.
    You don't need to restart your computer to open Firefox again: you just need to close it manually through your application manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC in Processes tab). Anyway, hopefully this support article is what you need:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs
    What's probably happening is that you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • My Macbook pro 1,2 monitor and laptop screen goes black once in a while and then comes back on

    Hello all,
         Thank you very much for taking the time to view my issue. This issue just started about a month ago, I have a 22" LCD Monitor that I have been using, when this issue started the monitor would flicker and the screen would go black, but if I turned it off for a bit then turned it back on it would come back on. After a while it just started to go black and not come back on at all, so I decided to disconnect the monitor and use the notebook screen, I thought the monitor itself was broken. The notebook screen was working fine up until the last week, it is now doing the exact same thing, when my computer wakes up from being asleep it sometimes flickers then goes black, I can still faintly see the outline of the programs I have up but it is completely black. Sometimes it is a pain to get back on and I have to force shutdown and turn it back on to get it working. I am not sure what the problem is but I really want to get it fixed.
    My Macbook Pro 1,2 is the first model made, but it was the best model available at the time. It has a Intel Core Duo 2.16GHz chip with 2GB of ram and a 160GB hard drive, it also has an ATI Radeon X1600 video card with 256mb of Vram. If anyone has any suggestions or resources I can use, I would greatly appreciate you sharing them with me.
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Sincerely,
    Saggz.

  • Will deleting my you tube app affect my youtube accounts becuase since uploading the latest Apple update, everytime I go to click on something on my youtube page, it switches to the app and then comes back and opens up another tab and never did that

    I am having a problem with my youtube account, as since updating to iOS 8.3, the other day, every time I go to my youtube account and click on anything there by opening up a tab, it always goes to the youtube app and then goes back and opens a new tab.  Everytime I have updated, it seems to get worse not better.  One other thing that happened that has not been fixed yet when I updated a while ago, was that when you have many tabs open and go back and forth between them, it aleays reloads and does not stay the way you left it.  Wish Apple would get it right and especially with youtube issues.  So my question regarding my youtube account would be if I can delete the youtube app, without affecting my account.

    If you delete the YouTube app you will not be affecting your YouTube account.  You can always reinstall it & see if that fixes the problem.
    As far as Safari pages reloading between tabs, I have also noticed the issue after iOS 8 on my iPad 2.  Updating to the latest iOS on older devices can see a degradation in performance within certain apps due to the limitations of those devices. 
    We made the choice to update & with the many benefits of the latest & greatest iOS there are bound to be some problems too, 

  • My Macbook "blacks out" and then turns back on?

    There are times when my MacBook will "turn off" or "black out" and then after a few seconds, it would just turn on again with all the applications I was opening opened up already. Please help? This has happened 3 times now. :/

    Looks like you have a 2010 Macbook. Are you running 10..6 Snow Leopard? Things to check. Go to system preferences/energy saver/ schedule and make sure nothing is checked. Also uncheck put hard drive to sleep. Do a pram reset/Command/Option?P/R and hold power button down for three chimes. You could also reset SMC. Hold down the Command?Option?Shift while holding down the power button for about 10 second. You should be able to access the apple hardware test by starting up and holding down the D or Option D on startup. Run the test. If not and you have the install disks you can run it from there by inserting it and doing the same thing. Use disk utilities in the utilities folder to repair disk permissions and verify your hard drive.  If it needs repair ,you'll need to use the install disk to do it under utilities at the top of the screen. If you have a newer operating system ,Then the only way to do this is through the restore partition by starting up and holding down the option or option r.You could look in your library system fold logs and see if you see anything under crach report that says thermal. Let me know.

  • Swap number by porting out and then back to Verizon

    I currently have 4 lines with Verizon on a Family Shared Plan. Line A has a basic phone and is my primary number where I got all the calls, line B and C belong to my family members, and line D is a new line I took over recently under assumption of liability because it has unlimited data feature.
    Now, what I really want is to swap my primary number from Line A to Lind D, so that I can use my primary number with the line that has unlimited data. I don’t care if I lose the current number on Line D. However, according to multiple verizon reps, you can not swap phone numbers freely.
    It seems that the only way to accomplish this is to first set up Line D as the primary line, then port out Line A to another carriier (for example Page Plus), then port it back in to overwrite the number on Line D. Can someone from Verizon confirm if this is the only way to get my primary number on Line D with the unlimited data? Does it even work? Any restrictions for porting back a number that used to be with Verizon?
    By the way Line A is month to month now so I am not worried about ETF.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    jimfitzgerald wrote:
    Dion, that doesn't solve his problem. He wants to keep the number that is currently on line A and move THAT number to his smartphone with unlimited data. That's the same situation I am in. I think the only way to do it is wait until the contract expires and then move the number to the desired phone. That's what I am going to do in January.
    I appreciate Dion to take time and reply my post, but unfortunately he provided incorrect information. I have just done it and got what I wanted. Obviously, you CAN port your line to another company (say Pageplus) for free, thus canceling the line with Verizon. Then wait until the next billing cycle, and port that number back in to replace existing Verizon number, all for free. No change is made to the account calling plans, features, contract, etc, since it's a simple phone number change. 
    It took me 10 mins on the phone with Pageplus CS to port the number from Verizon to Pageplus, 3 days before the end of my billing cycle. Then I waited for 5 days, just to be sure that Verizon had release the number, and called Verizon to request the port in. The porting request was done in 5 mins with automated system, and the port went thru almost instantly. I reprogrammed the phone by dialing *228 and everything works fine. I logged on my Verizon immediately and my number has already been updated. Now I finally have my main number on the line with unlimited data.
    The only thing to note is that when you change your phone number, your bill/usage will be prorated if it's your primary line.

  • Volume cuts out for split second and then comes back very low

    I have an old Ipod Classic that I listen to on my Bose docking station. Every now and then the sound cuts out for a split second and then continues playing only it's too low to really hear so I have to turn the volume back up.
    It did this twice today when I was listening to.
    It was doing this every now and then a few months back and then stopped.
    Has anyone had this problem and know what could be causing it to happen?

  • IOS 8/8.0.2 reboots during call and then comes back

    I have seen issues with IOS 8 and 8.0.2 on both an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 6 where I am on a conference call, and the phone goes dead to the white screen with the black apple,  then 30 seconds later, the phone comes back on with the previous call still connected.  Has anyone else seen this issue?   I have seen this issue at least once a day since upgrading to IOS 8 on my iPhone 5 and my receipt of my iPhone 6 and then subsequently on IOS 8.0.2

    This very same thing everyone here has posted about happened to me this very evening. I only found this post by googling around as there's not too much.
    I have a 5c, my friend has a 5s. Both of us running 8.02. During a call, first my phone cut out like the call dropped and I see the Apple logo on screen like its rebooting. I'm like "what the..." but before I can even say the word, my phone is back at the home screen and my call resumes. Even the call time counter kept counting like the call never dropped. But I could not here my friend though he said he could still hear me.
    The strange part of this is within a couple of minutes the exact same thing happened to my friend on his phone during our same call. Apple logo, screen reboot, he can't hear me for like 5 seconds and then all is normal again. He suspects the NSA; I say loose bolts in the plumbing.
    Man, I hope this 8.1 update fixes this. And Safari, which runs awful. And the Camera Roll. And the...

  • Why do I get an apple on my Ipad after it locks up and then comes back to life?

    My wifi 32 gb Retina Ipad seems to crash . Seems like it started after IOS 6 upgrade...  Looking at web pages it might just close application...  Not too bad ,, then on occasion it will lock up and I hold the side button and then push the home button and it will go dark and then show a white apple in the middle and then after a while repair itself.....  Any Ideas?   Anyone know what the apple symbol means?   Thanks Joe

    If the reset and restore doesn't work, try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode (data will be lost)
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad
