sob Please help - screen just showing flashing colours

I`ve had my ibook 1.4MHz laptop for about a year, and never had any problems. suddenly today i was watching a movie and the screen juddered and blinked on/off a few times, then went plain black. Then it went plain white. Then blue, then red, then green - and it just continues to slowly cycle through those colours.
I`ve tried killing the power and rebooting, and the hardrive makes all the right whirring sounds, but the display just comes up slowly cycling through those colours again.
I don`t have any kind of warrenty for it, since i bought it 2nd hand through a classified ad. I realise i`m gonna have to take it to get repaired, but i`d be really grateful for any ideas about what it might be, and (more importantly) how expensive its gonna be to repair.
Please help!!! This machine is my life!

It sounds like a logic board failure to me. If I remember correctly, out of warranty logic board replacements will run you somewhere in the ballpark of US$900. Of course, because it is out of warranty, it would be a lot cheaper to visit a site such as www.pbfixit.com.They offer guides to tell you how to perform any ibook operation. But, it will require dismantling just about the entire computer, and you probably aren't up to that. Not many people I know are. So, have Apple do it-US$900. DIY-around US$500, and you get to do it. Or, buy a new computer and try to copy you're files to the new one-US$1200, and you get a brand new computer. Those are the options I forsee, but I may be wrong. Any way, you are spending a lot of money.

Please help I just accidentally deleted a very very important note from my "Notes" on my iPhone 4s. How can I get it back? Is there a "Trash" file somewhere for deleted notes? Thank you, Susan

Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

Hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

I'm confused by what you mean when you write "scene setting or standard timeline setting". In version 11, I use "Expert" as my standad timeline setting. The other is "Quick" and I have never used it.
The time for each pic starts with a default setting that can be changed. Then each slide can be streched or shrunk with mouse control.

Please help! My adobe flash plug-in keeps crashing. I've tried troubleshooting without luck

Hello - can someone please help me fix my adobe flash plug in? I've tried so many different things to fix it which I found on other forums but nothing seems to work. The website I use in order to study for my MCAT only works with flash so please please help!

Please Help! - Program changes photo colours automatically when photos uploaded?

I use photoshop elements 2.0.
When I upload photos the program automatically changes the photo colours to a duller shade across the whole photo... brighter rich colours are lost.
(i have tested that it isnt just that the colours appear different in photoshop but not when saved by uploading photos into photoshop, doing nothing to them but save it, then compare the original and the saved photo - the colours differ significantly.)
Restoring the original colours is difficult but I attempt to get close using the Enhance - adjust brightness/ contrast.
I am sure that this isn't a universal program fault so perhaps one of my settings is wrong?? It has done it since I bought it but up to now I have lived with it however it is really starting to put me off using photoshop when the striking natural colours are lost.
I am sure other photographers dont have this problem so there must be something i can do to solve it.
Please any help would be grately appreciated as to why this may be happening
Amy

This is not a Photography issue but an application specific question. Try posting in the Photoshop Elements forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
If you're lucky, you'll find someone there who still remembers that ancient version of Elements. Currently they're at version 9.

Please Help - Can Not Install Flash

This is not about downloading or uninstalling,this is about getting flash installed.
I have a Power Mac G4 with 10.5.8 I was trying to install the latest version of Flash Player and it did not work.
I used uninstaller,then downloaded - install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg.- Everything went fine until the end. I got a - The following install step failed:run postflight script for plug in.
Then I downloaded - flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg - opened it,right clicked on it and went to "Show Contents" then "Resources" and tried installing - Adobe Flash Player.pkg. I got a - You cannot install PlugIn on this volume. A newer version of this software already exists on this volume. Even though I used uninstall to get rid of all Flash beforehand.
So now any website that need flash player I can not use.I have looked all over this web site for an answer.Please help me get flash player reinstalled,the lattest version if possible.

Via Javascripting. Look for Flash detection kits at the
Adobe/Maromedia web
site and also at Internet search engines.
As well this forum focuses on database access issues and you
might find more
takers for this type of question in the Flash General forum.

Please help me for create flash boot in windos os

hi .my mac book is crash hard disk .i dont acses to enother macbook pro for create botable flash disk .please help me for make botable flash disk in windos 7 for instal and create partishen new hard disk.thanks

We are not macbook pro forum, question about Windows and Boot Camp should go there, not knowing your mac but likely has internet recovery that works even with a "crash" hdd. I assume you know how to go about swapping out for a new one (time to get an SSD) or you can just boot from Windows w/o flash and install, all w/o Boot Camp Assistant.
www.macsales.com sells kits - empty external case for old drive, new drive or ssd, and also memory upgrades.
And you can install Mac OS to any external drive. Like your backup TimeMachine and just shrink and make a 40GB partition for OS X.

Please help.. hyperlinks keep changing colour

Please help..
I am working in Iweb 3.0.03 on a macbook (chrome installed)..
When I set the colours of the hyperlinks they are in grey but when I ftp the pages all the browsers change the hyperlink text to red? How can I stop this from happening? I am formatting the colours and on my macbook and everything looks how it should how I upload?
Could anyone please help..
Many thanks

Yes, all hyperlinks on every page are meant to be the same colour format.
I use transit as an ftp
I might just change all the colouring to look the same..
Thanks alot
Are all of the hyperlinks at the left supposed to have the same color format? If so select one, reset all of the colors and click on the Use for New Links on Page button. Then publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and check it locally with your browser to see if the colors are as they should be.
Are you hosting your site at a 3rd party server or on a MobileMe account? If it's a 3rd party hosting server publish to a folder on your hard drive and check the site locally with your browser. If the colors are good then the problem lies in the uploading of the file.
H\how are you uploading the files? With iWeb or a 3rd party FTP client? If it's iWeb try using the free FTP client Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.

Please help - no music showing in ipod source during move to new computer

Hello and Help
I am in the process of moving my ipod and itunes to my new laptop. I have followed Apples instructions - how to use your ipod to move your music to a new computer. I am now at the bit Free up space on the iPod however when i click on the music option under my iPod in the source panel (step number 2 and 3)all the music is in grey and i cannot click an any music to select all. What do I do. How do i free up space. I am sure i have followed all the steps correctly although i am a bit of a technophobe. The music is playing on my ipod if that bit of info helps and is also showing in the normal music bit in itunes....... please help.
30GB video Windows 2000

or if you want to move the music to your new laptop you should just make a folder and put all your music in that folder on your old laptop. after that clear your ipod so it has no music or videos on it what so ever. then put your ipod in disk mode, then click on my computer, find the ipod drive and click on it and drag the folder that has the songs into the ipod drive. then after that hook up the USB Ipod cord to your new laptop and then download and install itunes, attach your ipod to the cord thats in your new laptop, get the folder out of the ipod and darg it onto your new laptops desktop. then open up the folder and drag all the songs onto your new itunes....
Note: When brining your songs onto your ipod drive, do not create a shortcut and put the shortcut onto the ipod drive....but I think many of you know that!
