Spilled wine on Mac

What should you do if you spill wine on your computer

Do not try to do the "dry it out and turn it on" method everyone loves to try, .....doesnt work.
At best it works for a week or so at most, corrosion sets in, things get worse, also running power thru wet components compounds damage drastically.
After repairing laptops for years long ago, most people tried this "method" and 8 times out of 10 it did nothing but made bad WORSE.

    Don't attempt to turn it back on.  Remove the battery if you have a user removable battery.  Take the mac to an Apple Store or AASP and expect a very large repair bill.  More times then not, a liquid spill on a keyboard results in a damaged logic board, which usually costs several hundreds of dollars to replace.  Liquid damage is not covered under warranty if you have AppleCare.  Check with your renters/homeowners insurance to see if it may be covered.

  • Font problem Win to Mac?

    I have been searching all day for an answer and have run out of things to try.
    I am using D8 for my Windows app and D10 (projecter only)  for Mac because the D8 projector will no longer work on Macs (but the D8 files will witht eh D10 projector). I have D11.5 but none of my Xtras work like POM and Resx, and budi.
    I am using the Party font in my Windows app for signatures on documents and can install the font with my installer. I have no installer for Mac and so this time I tried embedding the Party font and finally got it to work.
    Now,  I have D8 files with the embedded font and they won't work with the Windows D8 or D10 projector.  What do I do to get a cursive font on the Mac from Windows?  I can't call a Mac font in Windows.  I tried the fontmap.txt file in the app directory according to the documentation, but it does not work.  I used Win: Party   =>  Mac:"Lucida Handwrriting"
    So embedding fonts according to the instructions does not work in Windows as it does in a Mac projector.  Why not? WHat am I supposed to do?  The fontmap.txt does not work according to the directions so I can't remove the embedded font in the MAc files.  So what do I do?
    How do I get a cursive font in the Mac for signatures without having to keep two sets of files?  I cannot find a solution or anyone who resolved this problem.  Please help, thanks!

    If I'm not mistaken, that fontmap.txt file is for use with fonts that are NOT embedded in the Director cast.  Also, there is something in the text file itself that explains how if you want to change the font mapping associated with a Director movie that has already been created (i.e. before you edited the fontmap file), then you have to "Load" that new fontmap in the movie properties (in the property inspector).  But let's forget about that fontmap file for now.  You're supposed to be able to embed a font into the Director cast, and then use that embedded font on either platform.  I've seen people complaining about this feature in the lastest version(s) of Director, and in fact I too have had trouble sometimes getting Director to realize that a font is embedded, but this seems to be in Author mode.  Once you do convince the program that the font is really embedded, and get it to use that embedded font, and create your projectors, the font seems to keep working OK in the projector.  Here's an extremley simple example I made with "Lucida Handwriting" embedded in the cast, and one text member that uses that font in the middle of the stage.  The font appeared correctly for me in both the PC exe and the Mac app created from this movie (both created on the Mac):

  • LR - Win to Mac license transfer

    does anybody know if I will be able to install LR on Mac in case of switching from Win to Mac? I.e. I currently have a LR 1.0 win license and 2.0 win upgrade purchased and I wonder if thes keys will allow me to install LR on MAC if I opt for change of system (currently under consideration
    If not, is there any option how to switch to MAC without complete purchase of a new license ?
    + Bonus question - How will a catalog (40k+ pics) and all the sidecar files created under WIN version of LR 2.2 (2.3) behave if imported under MAC version? Any real life experience witch such transfer?
    thanks J.

    Now I'm not quite sure how to understand you Sean.
    You mentioned that: "...you get one free OS change, but you have to never use the other OS again..." which I read in the way that to switch I will need some assistance/key from Adobe, which will be provided for free in case of the first switch and that such switch it "either-or but not both at the same time". On the other hand in your previous post you mentioned that : "...you can use 2 copies of the program, on either platform ..." which suggesting (if I just do not misread it) that not only can I use both systems simultaneously (which would be sufficient for me and would enable me to use MAC and WIN versions simultaneously for some time and get back to WIN if necessary) but more that I can install and use two copies on each of them.
    I'm pretty sure I read one of these posts wrong but please clarify which one if possible (sorry not a native speaker as you can clearly see).
    I.e.:
    1) Currently I run a single copy of LR on my WIN desktop - do I need a different key or perform some deactivation of such installation to install a second copy on MAC if I got it?
    2) If I used two WIN copies currently (one on omy desktop and one on my notebook) - would it change something?
    3) If I only wanted to give MAC a try and use it for several months to see if it persuades me (it looks like I will have a chance soon and I'm curious man :-), will I be able to come back to WIN installation If apples let's say "will not satisfy my tastes"?
    + shoud I expect cross-platform problems with a catalogue and library import?
    Thanks J.

  • Files panel - CS4 Win vs Mac

    I'm a Mac user for a long time. Recently, I've done some website work on a PC using CS4. Irritatingly, on the PC, the Files panel [ungrouped] remains ontop of the files when opening them. I have to minimize the panel to see the open files. On Mac this was never a propblem in any version of CS or MX and prior for that matter.
    Is there any way to get the same panel behavior on the PC (XP) as the Mac?
    TIA

  • I had spilled soda on Mac keyboard the other day. Dried it as best I could , took battery out Nd hard drive. I let it sit for a little bit and turned it back on and I get a beeping sound. What do I need to do?

    That isn't good.  The RAM is probably damaged, hopefully not the RAM slots.  This article explains why.

  • My Mom spilled wine on her Pro keyboard

    Now that I persuaded my Mom (84 years old) to replace her PC with a MacBook Pro 15", she today confided in me that she spilled a glass of wine on the keyboard two weeks ago. She instantly turned it over and says she blotted everything she could blot, but now thinks this is the reason she can't log on to the Internet or get email. She lives 100 miles away and I'll be going up there tomorrow but could use some experience before then.
    I asked her to type a letter using all the keys several times, which she did, printed it out, and they all work. She got email (Airport connection via cable modem) for at least a week after the spill; spotty since then, and she thinks her wine did it. I think not, can anyone offer advice? I've always had Macs and they're pretty forgiving but I've never had a MacBook Pro to know what liquids can do if spilled within. I'm pretty much of the "it either works, or it doesn't" camp.
    Any advice would be appreciated before I confront the drunken laptop!

    I know this is a separate (but not really) issue, but it seems her real issue is Internet connectivity. We bought the computer and Airport Express and a HP printer from the Apple store that was supposed to be wireless but I'll be danged if I could figure out how to make it work wirelessly from her computer. So we just hard wired it to the Powerbook and that was OK with her. But now it seems like her Internet keeps breaking down. The times I've been at her house trying to fix it, I've noticed that the white Airport Express plug/box is VERY hot. Is this normal? It seems to me that the Mac should "find" the wireless network no matter where it is, but this isn't happening. The cable modem seems reliable since her TV works OK. All I can think is that the signal from the Airport module to the computer is easily corruptible. This happened before the wine spill.

  • Umstieg von Win auf mac mit cs6

    Ein freundliches Hallo an die Mitarbeiter von Adobe,
    vor etwa einem Jahr habe ich eine Win CS6 Studentenversion erworben und nutze sie täglich tatkräftig für meine Projekte. Inzwischen die Zeit reif für einen neuen Rechner. Dabei denke ich über einen Mac nach.
    Daher möchte ich mich gern über zwei Themen erkundigen:
    1. Ist ein Wechsel auf ein anderes Betriebssytem möglich? (Ich habe gehört einmalig ist ein Wechsel möglich)
    2. Sollte ich mich für einen Mac entscheiden, und sollte ein Wechsel möglich sein, würde ich in der ersten Zeit sozusagen gern Probefahren (da ich mir mit der Entscheidung umzusteigen noch nicht sicher bin) und über einen Virtuellen Computer (VM Ware oder Parallels) Windows auf dem Mac betreiben. Da ich weiterhin Halbwissen besitze, das meint, der Rechner auf dem ich die Programme betreibe ist registriert, frage ich mich nun, wie das mit einem Virtuellen PC funktionieren könnte.
    Über Hinweise und Anregungen würde ich mich sehr freuen!

    Achso...   das hatte ich noch nicht gerafft. Ok so weit so gut. Nun habe ich hier einige Infos gefunden:
    http://www.software-express.de/grafik-und-design/sprach-und-plattformwechsel-von-adobe-pro dukten/
    steht drin:
    Ausgeschlossen von Sprach- und Plattformwechseln sind auch Studentenversionen der Adobe Software.
    Desweiteren:
    Jeder Kunde kann fünfmal wechseln, jedes Produkt jedoch nur einmal.
    Ich hab Studentenversion und Mastercollection (also mehr als 5 Produkte... oder?)
    Vielen Dank für deine Geduld

  • Changing plat forms from Win to Mac, Can we move 6 x Win licensed versions of Acrobat Pro 9 to Mac?

    We have 6 x Win Acrobat 9 Pro licenses - Any recommendations on how we could utilise these licensed versions on the new system and or is there an upgrade path?

    There is no normal upgrade path, all usual purchases stay in the same platform. So you could upgrade to Acrobat Pro 11 for Windows.
    However, there is such a thing as a "crossgrade" to cross platforms. If you had Acrobat Pro 11 for Windows, and contacted Adobe they MIGHT sell a crossgrade. Equally they MIGHT sell you a crossgrade from Acrobat Pro 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro 11 Mac. They will not sell, so far as we hear, a crossgrade from Acrobat Pro 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro 9 Mac; licenses for unsupported versions are never sold.
    You might also want to look at volume licensing.
