Start Test - HD DST passes and so does all else. But HDD when doing a straight HDD check says fail
Laptop slid off lap on to floor while on Skype. Skype continued to work. Shut off computer and later tried to turn back on. System said their might have been a power interruption or a change in software. Recommended checking system vs start normally. I take the first option, it loads files, the Microsoft Windows logo comes up, a Microsoft load bar comes up then the screen goes to a "grey" colour that is somewhat sculptured in appearance - not a blank blue screen.
If I try to start normally, it reverts back to the former.
I shut off the computer and hit ESC and try some of the stated "F" functions. In the Start up screen, everything passes including the HDD Sort Disk DST.
In the Run In Mode, everything passes and seems to stay at 99% for sometime.... perhaps it was still running and I commuted it.
When doing a HDD check - Failure
Anyone with ideas??? I hope I dont have to replace the HDD.
You might first check the connection of the hard drive to be sure it didn't get jostled loose in the fall. If it is secure and you continue to fail hdd check...replace it.

Does my desktop come with wireless capability with no need for a separate router needed to be purchased, when airport is opened up belkin wireless is checked and other locations are listed but locked? Does my xfinity unit have one or just a modem? TIA
Your iMac does have wireless capability. It does need, however, some wireless network in order to connect to the Internet. It sounds like there are several networks in your area, including one Belkin router that is not encrypted and several other networks that are. I presume that you would know if the Belkin one is yours, and you would have mentioned it. Do not use someone else's network without their permission. In some jurisdictions it is illegal, in others it is merely foolish.
It is impossible to know what Xfinity has given you. Possibly it is only a cable modem, or perhaps it has a router built in. Call them and ask them. If it has a router built in, get them to help you set it up. Note that some tech support people for Internet service providers will resist working with Macs. Be persistent, it is not that different.
If they did not provide a router, you will need to get one. Apple makes the AirPort Extreme base station, the AirPort Express base station and the Time Capsule. Other companies have their own. Be sure you get one that is up to date and has 802.11n capabilities (for the highest speed) and go on from there.
Best of luck. -

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots. -
What happened to the nifty "sync" button in iTunes? It syncs as soon as I plug it in, and that's great! BUT! When I go to the iTunes Store and buy new stuff, I can't just 'sync' the device again so my new stuff gets added. Why?
Nothing happened to it.
It is still there. Maybe it says apply now, not sure, but it is still there. -
Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1
Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1 or 2.
FCP6 doesn't seem to have one.
Anyone heard of one that works really well & that is fast to use?
steveJim,
You are totally missing the point. I am an Adobe Premiere Pro instructor. I have been for 5 years. I added my 1st FCP system 2 weeks ago & am experiencing typical transitional curiosities as all who switch to other platforms & editing apps do.
PP has a color pass filter. I was curious to see if FCP did. That sounds logical to me:) If posting the question about the possibility of there being a color pass plugin bothers you, well , that has to do with you.
If you take a moment to read the prior correspondence, you might see my point.
I think we can bury the hatchet now:) -
i just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios 5, and updated to itunes 10.5. but when i synced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod. but those are the same files that i have when i was using the old 4.1 version and its syncing just fine.. the itunes advanced tab "create iphone or ipod version" is not working either so i cant convert it to be xferred and synced. what can i do to have my video files synced?
i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

I have an iPod touch and also have the iHome.... When I first hooked it up it played music fine.....but now when I hook it up it says accessory unavailable for iPod touch and I've resetted it 2 times but still no music comes thru the iHome speakers
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

It seems to be the spotify app in my trash that won't delete. i tried the advanced tip and it deleted everything else but the spotify app. any suggestions? the progress bar when emptying the trash never changes.
Not uncommon with spotify. If you have 'Trashit', that will almost certainly clear it. If not, download it from here. Download Trash It! for Mac - Force-empty your trash can. MacUpdate.com

from last 3 days i am trying to my best to use facebook in my i phone 4s but still i am failture to contect,i can able to use my facebook account on my pc or laptop but not in i phone,i remove facebook so manytimes and also reset all setting but still i am fail ,pls do needful
I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...
