Screen saver fails immediately when launched.  Anyone know what the porblem is?

On MacOS 10.6.7, screen saver started failing when launched. It briefly displays and then immediately dies. At first the problem was intermittant. Now is always fails.

Hey Kce919,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. The next step may be to force close the iTunes application:

Before reopening, it may be a good step to sign out of the iTunes & App Store via Settings:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPhone first.

    Hey 11doski,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the display has a dark screen. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • When typing out emails on ipad, screend I lose the message I am typing. Does anyone know what the problem can be?

    When typing out emails on ipad, screend I lose the message I am typing. Does anyone know what the problem can be?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

    I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

    I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.

    Hi, oldcrow13.
    Thank you for the response.  Typically this error is caused by installing an older verison of iTunes than you had prior.  When you installed iTunes did you download the program directly from iTunes.com, or did you use an older copy of the program on your computer?  If you used an older version or are unsure, uninstall all the components one more time and download a new copy of iTunes via the link below.

  • Does anyone know what the "Provision Failure: MEDIATION-5, Lrad! errors are in WCS

    Does anyone know what the "Provision Failure: MEDIATION-5, Lrad! errors are in WCS? 
    I get this when pushing an AP template to six new 3502i series access points.  The error reads like this:
    *** Apply Result for AP 'NameOfAPhere(C0:FF:EE:C0:F:EE)' ***
    **AP Parameters**
    Provision Failure: MEDIATION-5, Lrad!C0:FF:EE:C0:F:EE,secondaryMwar,No access
    MAC address has been changes to protect the names of the innocent...
    The rest of the template appears to push.  The 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n parameters show "success".
    Anyone have the magic decoder ring for what these messages are referring to so that I can go fix the issue?
    Thanks in adavance!

    Hi,
    Two things :
    1- Can you refresh configs from WLC to WCS and then give it a try ?
    2- Is WCS using the right read-write community string for this WLC ?
       (Since we see a "No Access" message in the error)
    Thanks..Salil

  • Outlook 2007 doesn't show icloud service running.  Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook?

    Outlook 2007 doesn't show the icloud service running in Windows 7 within outlook.  Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook?   I've installed the icloud control panel app and set it up to synch everything, but after initially downloading my icloud calendar, it won't process any calendar updates (new entries made on either iphone 4 on ios 5 or outlook). 
    So since the control panel installed, but the service doesn't show running in outlooks "trust center" add-ins list, anyone know the actual dll file it would point to so I can see if I can add it the hard way?

    I had the same issue and figured it out.  First you have to start Outook as administrator.  To do this, shift and right-click on outlook and click run as administrator.  Next you need to enable Hard-disabled add-ins:
    Hard-Disabled Add-Ins
    Hard disabling can occur when an add-in causes the application to close unexpectedly. It might also occur on your development computer if you stop the debugger while the Startup event handler in your add-in is executing.
    To re-enable an add-in
    In the application, click the File tab. 
    Click the ApplicationName Options button.
    In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
    In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list.  The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
    In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
    Select the add-in and click Enable.
    Click Close.
    Then you need to activate it. 
    To re-enable an add-in
    In the application, click the File tab.
    Click the ApplicationName Options button.
    In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
    In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Inactive Application Add-ins list.  The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
    In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the check box next to the disabled add-in.
    Click OK.

  • HT5242 Anyone know what the "extended period of time" is?

    Anyone know what the "extended period of time" is when the Java update decides for us when it should turn off automatic applet running?  Looking forward to the hack which allows us to fix that and make the decision ourselves.

    35 days.

  • Does anyone know what the second button is for on the logic board of an iMac G5 (PPC), 1st generation ?

    One button on the logic board of a 1st generation iMac G5 (PPC) is an alternate power button. Does anyone know what the purpose of the other button is?

    I am far from certain but I believe it is the power management unit (PMU) reset switch a/k/a Cuda switch: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1939

    Does anyone know what the little lock with a circle around it for on my phone?

    Orientation lock, keeps the screen from rotating. You can turn it on and off by swiping up from any screen.
    Actually, not entirely correct.  It's the Portrait Orientation lock.  It won't lock landscape orientation, as can the iPad Orientation Lock

  • Does anyone know what the difference is in the various dates in LR?

    Does anyone know what the differences are between the following:

    Date Time Digitalized

    I understand that Date Time Original is the capture time and that Date Time is capture time except when the image is a copy of another image that was created using Edit In... So, what is Date Time Digitalized?
    Thank you.
