Suddenly broken stand

I just went away for the week and when I came back my iMac wouldnt hold itself up anymore! I looked up this problem and it seems to be a reoccurring one because of a faulty washer Apple used for the mechanism.
Several people said Apple replaced their computer and other have said that they won't do anything for it.
Is there anything I can do?????

Take it in immediately to your local Apple Store!

  • Suddenly broken: "To execute 'save as PDF' command you must have Acrobat Distiller 5.05 or higher"

    I've been using FM9 with Acrobat Pro 9 just fine for months on end, and suddenly FM9 "forgot" about Acrobat Pro 9. I've reinstalled the entire suite TWICE.
    Googling the error messages reveals that this is a very very old problem; I'm quite surprised to see it again in TCS. But all the suggestions I've read so far have not worked.
    Any new ideas?
    BTW, this is one reason why I am not planning to buy TCS for my entire team; at least not until these sorts of problems are fixed.
    -Dee

    Dee, a couple of thoughts:
    2) The workarounds, using .ps and Distiller, or print-to-the PDF  driver, result in a PDF with broken links. None of the FM9 hypertext  links work, not even the TOC. This is what I'll have to ship to my  customers, a PDF with broken links.
    In the FM Print dialog box, did you activate the Generate Acrobat Data checkbox and uncheck the Print to File checkbox? You need to Generate Acrobat data to enable hyperlinks.
    3) I had installed all the  updates... old Forum posts suggested that the updates might be the  problem! So I've tried it both with and without the updates...
    It's possible. However, forum posters tend not to be mainstream users... so I'd suppose that the updates work for >95% of users, who don't have any reason to post because the updates work.
    Also, as noted before, you didn't provide any system information... but if you're on XP, I'm assuming you installed the Microsoft HotFix for PostScript printers (including PDFs).

  • Flash site suddenly broken

    -I made this site in Flash with GAIA several years ago/there have been no updates to the site  for at least 8 months and suddenly none of the sub-navs are loading! i am assuming this is an issue with flashplayer updates across browsers (cause when i tested in firefox BEFORE updating it worked and google + safari were updated and it was broken in them/and it works locally when i re-published all the swfs in flash for fp 10)-arghh--i am at a loss what to do now  /
    this is the site:
    http://medriemacphee.com
    if anyone can offer suggestions/tips?/ i appreciate your consideration. thanks.

    Did you update your flash player debugger executable to the latest 11.7? You say it works locally if you publish for FP10, does it work online published for FP10 as well? Also try running the actual debugger version of the flash player (e.g. on win not just CTRL+ENTER (old player), use the debugger CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER). See if it messes up for that.
    Per your PM, I'd prefer you keep your information here rather than private messages. It lets others help out. I'm still in the process of moving a house several states away and I've been on and off for a couple months during that.
    As for the XML you showed me, it has no syntactical issues. I was able to parse it in Flash and extract info so that part works fine. What would really be useful is the errors you must get inside Flash Pro itself when it tries to load these images. I feel it's just not finding the images. I think if you use the latest 11.7 debugger, because your issue is based on the "latest" player, you'll see some useful IOErrorEvents that can help diagnose the issue.

  • IPod suddenly broken?

    I got my iPod fixed somewhere where I obviously shouldn't have, and I'm now having the following problems:
    Extremely weak wifi - The wifi is much poorer than it normally is. Before, I could get wifi in my room (2nd floor) and now I can barely get 1 bar in the room next to the router (basement)
    Home button slipping - While my home button isn't popping out, it slips and the tech behind it can be seen. :C
    Date? - When I got the iPod back the date was something like Jan 1 1970.
    More problems will likely arise, but for now I am out $160 and have a broken iPod. Please help.

    Take it back to where you got it "fixed".
    Take it to another third-party place.
    Apple will not help

  • Screen sharing suddenly broken between two machines

    I have three machines on a LAN. Screen sharing works just fine in every direction except one: From my mac book pro to one of the minis, no matter what password I try, I get a dialog that the password is wrong. Now I know **** well the password is right, because it's the same one I use to screen share from the other machines, and with SSH.
    What's happened?!

    Turns out that AFP (disk sharing) is broken in this same direction. Both screen and disk sharing work in all other directions including from that mini back to my laptop.
    Chicken of the VNC can connect to the VNC server on the target machine using the generic VNC password.

  • IMessage Suddenly Broken

    I dug out my iPod Touch 5th generation again after preparing to sell it (and giving up) and restored all my stuff back onto it, including linking it with my iCloud account. Also, I previously used my family's Apple ID but seperate "Send and Receive" addresses so we all could just use iMessage without messing with making new Apple IDs, etc, but I made a new one to make my own iCloud account to clear up some issues a few months back. So I have been happily using my iPod and iPad, iMessage has worked on both, everything was fine. However, I was using iMessage when on my iPod, and the battery died so I went and reached for my iPad, composed the message again, and tried to send. Immediately, "failed to send". I then exit the app, re enter and I am completely signed out, I try signing back in, "iMessage Activation" "An error occurred during activation. Try again" I finally manage to sign in again on my iPod ONLY, iPad still won't work. I find out that the email other than my Apple ID email in "Send and Receive" completely disappeared. I wasn't using my Apple ID email for send and receive because it isn't the email that I used previously for iMessage, so I wouldn't be in people's contacts. Anyway, now I'm trying to re add my old send and receive email, but it gets stuck in validating, I receive no validation email or anything. I have tried restarting, etc, no luck. My iPads date was off when I first reached for it, which may have caused the issue, but I fixed it, then proceeded with the steps I mentioned before. How can I fix iMessage??

    Hi XTheLancerX,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing, as well as the configuration you are trying to set up between your devices. If you are having issues activating or verifying (validating?) your account/email in iMessage, you may find the following articles helpful:

  • The communication between DB and AP is suddenly broken off

    Dear experts:
    We are facing a Network problem between DB server and AP servers.
    When Iu2019m logging AP server on, sometimes Network communication error occurs. SAP log(SM21) output says u201CError calling the central lock handler >unable to reach central lock handler.u201D There is no PING responding, but OS is OK when I checked at serveru2019s console. No OS logs shows up.
    The problem has happened last September, and we could not found the cause of this problem. All OS patches were applied and changed network switches.
    Has anyone faced similar problem, please help us. Any information is welcome.
    Our platform is as follows;
    ・ Windows 2003 x64 SP2
    ・Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4)
    ・SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.0 (ECC 6.0) and (SRM5.0)
    Our system configuration is as follows
    -     ERP
    ・DB x2 (MSCS)
    ASCS
    CI
    Web Dispatcher
    ・AP x4
    DI
    -SRM
    ・DB x1
    CI
    Web Dispatcher
    ・AP x2
    DI
    Any comments are welcomed.

    > Yes, it is a network problem. We try to figure out the cause of this network problem is server or SAP.
    If a ping is not responding then the cause can't be the SAP system. A SAP application such as a workprocess just makes use of the Windows runtime, it does not do anything on a lower area (like network) - it just uses it.
    > We have tried Windows firewall off many times, but the situation has not changed.
    Is this happening randomly or can you say it's occuring only on specific times? I think about data transfers taking place that are more than normal, a running backup or other things.
    I could think of doing some more network monitoring such as putting another machine on the same network segment, configure a promiscuous port on the switch so it receives all network traffic and then run a program such as Ethereal to see if you have a problem with the switch itself (it's software/configuration) or with the network card.

  • ROX mimetypes suddenly broken after upgrades

    i upgraded these packages:
             jack-audio-connection-kit-0.98.1-3 arts-1.3.0-3 automake-1.9.1-1
             cdrtools-2.01-1 filesystem-0.7-3 kdeadmin-3.3.0-2 kdebase-3.3.0-3

             wget-1.9.1-3
    and i am now getting this error in ROX-filer:
    The standard MIME type database (version 0.9 or later) was not found. The filer will probably not show the correct types for different files. You should download and install the 'shared-mime-info-0.9' package from here:
    http://www.freedesktop.org/software/shared-mime-info
    If you have already installed this package, check that the permissions allow the files to be read (check /usr/local/share/mime/globs or /usr/share/mime/globs).
    obviously it was working before - i reinstalled the shared-mime and rox - no success!  help - out of ideas!  can't see how the packages would have affected this - and i did check the permissions

    i thought it was the new kde.sh script...and it was!

  • [SOLVED] Wine suddenly broken

    Ok first of all I don't know if this is related to the pacman issues that has been reported.
    Did an upgrade today wich included an upgrade of wine. Half way through wine it throws an error and doesn't complete the upgrade. It appears as if pacman has removed wine and then not been able to install the newer version of it because now I can't start my apps anymore due to some files missing. Any ideas?
    Edit: Ok, so a pacman -Sf wine solved the issue for now it seems.
    Last edited by strankan (2009-01-19 22:18:45)

    Thanks again for you suggestions.
    But I don't think it's causing problems as it's part of Kwin (the KDE windows manager) and if I'm correct Xmonad is another WM.
    So I don't think it really has an effect. I think it matters only if you use Kwin and it's effects.
    Yes, xmonad is another window manager. But I doubt it has anything to do with this konqueror problem, since it worked perfectly until some update a few days back. Unfortunately I could not find a way to figure out which packages had been updated in the last days (man pacman is silent about that).
    Maybe check you Konqueror settings. Or your windows management settings.
    In Konqueror look at performance and web settings.
    But I can't help you with windows manager.
    Again, I doubt that any settings are to blame, because until that ominous update everything worked like a charm.
    But I am curious why do you even use Konqueror I'm a KDE user and I don't use it. mostly because Flash can be a bit of a pain sometimes working and sometimes not.
    The flash problems are annoying, but other than that Konqueror is the least annoying browser I know of. It is configurable without headaches (it has MENUES for easy configuration), the design is more pleasant than Firefox, and it does not send information about my browsing habits to Google or any other companies.

  • Sound suddenly broken

    Scroll down for a new issue!! (not mine)
    as for mine...
    usr err, please replace usr
    (a recompile of alsa and some fiddling with alsamixer fixed all... not sure what it is)

    I have a similar problem with my Intel HDA audio card:
    00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 30a5
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
    Memory at d2400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: <access>
    I have tried almost everything: with and without aliases in modprobe.conf, with and without:
    options snd-hda-intel <model>
    from this list of options.
    Tried also:
    options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1
    But all this was useless.
    At the end I have managed to make it work with an unbelievable solution: I blacklisted all the snd modules and removed alsa from the DEAMONS array in /etc/rc.conf.
    Then I made a little "script" called /etc/start_snd:
    modprobe snd-hda-intel
    modprobe snd-pcm
    modprobe snd-pcm-oss
    alsactl restore
    chmoded +x it and added it to rc.local. I set up the alsaconfig and did an alsactl store. After reboot everything is working fine. (but I didn't test the mic).
    I really don't understand why it does work... maybe some issue if the modprobe is at the beginning of the boot sequence with the udev....
    Hope this can help.

  • Bluetooth suddenly broken?

    two days ago, my phone started doing this thing: when it automatically locked, it would stop connecting to my wireless and when I opened System Prefs, it wouldn't load and then System Prefs would crash. I was unable to turn the phone off (the lock button wouldn't work correctly) and only a hard restart would work. I restored factory settings via iTunes.
    Now, my Mac Air won't connect via bluetooth. It connects for a second and then the error message appears "The Bluetooth network is unavilalbe. There was an error connecting to your device. Make sure the device is turned on and in range." When I try to connect to the Mac Air from the iPhone's bluetooth menu it says "Connection Unsuccessful. Make sure "MacBook Air" is tuned on and in range." (But the iPhone is right next to the computer and i JUST browsed the device.)
    HELP!
    1. Bluetooth is on on my iPhone and it says "now discoverable"
    2. The device has been located by my computer and is listed in the bluetooth tab.
    3. I have installed the latest Mac Air updates (which showed up yesterday)
    Also, the iPhone is syncing very slowly. Its been off and on syncing for hours over the last two days and its still not complete (and its only syncing 40 G).
    Any advice at all is appreciated!

    A few questions before I give you some advice
    What model of headset do you have? Where and when did you get it? How long have you owned it?
    What happened to the ear hook exactly?

  • Dreamweaver's FTP suddenly broken - am I the only one?

    I'm using iMacs and the Macromedia package incl. Dreamweaver. Already on the second computer, Dreamweaver's ftp stopped working - out of the blue. And without any error messages in the log file. It connects to the server, but doesn't put the file. The server settings are definitely alright.
    I tried everything - today I even formatted the hard disk and re-installed everything (without using old preference files). Then I tested Dreamweaver's ftp. Working. Installed the rest (office, Adobe CS2 etc) - and the same thing happened again - dreamweaver's ftp doesn't work. Although it was working together with Adobe CS2 / office etc.
    Am I the only one? Even at the Apple Store Genius Bar they couldn't help...if even re-installing the entire system doesn't help - I mean, ftp isn't a hardware problem, right?
    Any help appreciated...Thanks in advance

    I haven't heard of any problems with Dreamweaver's FTP capabilities on Mac OS X Tiger. If you have Internet connectivity, it definitely wouldn't be a hardware issue. I would suggest trying a real FTP client such as Cyberduck to see if you can make an FTP connection from your computer. You can download Cyberduck from here: http://cyberduck.ch/
    What exactly is Dreamweaver doing when you try to upload files via FTP? Does it give you any error messages? If so, can you post them verbatim?
    Also, are you running any third party firewall or antivirus software?

  • Adobe CS3 apps suddenly broken

    I had no problems with Lion and my Adobe apps for nearly a day- until this morning, when I tried to open Photoshop CS3 Extended (and all the other Adobe apps afterward), only to get this message:
    "Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe Customer Support for help."
    The thing is, I'm the only one who manages and uses my MacBook Pro, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling three time so far. What can I do to restore CS3 functionality?

    What problems are you having with Acrobat 9 Pro and Lion? I've not had any issues with it so far.
