  • I am trying to insert a disk into my cd drive, but it wont take it...

    I am trying to insert a disk into my cd drive, but it wont take it... there is nothing in the drive as i can get the disk in up to the point of practically losing it.
    If anyone can help with this I would greatly appreciate it.  I have looked in system profiler and as far as I can see there is no software linking the drive to the MacBookPro.
    Many Thanks.

    You will need to boot from some alternate boot device to accomplish this, if you did not initialize the drive before installing it.
    If you have another Mac, you may be able to use FireWire target disk mode.
    If your MacBook has a DVD reader and you have a Mac OS X Installer/Utilities DVD, such as the one that shipped with it, you can boot from that DVD, answer only the "what Language" question, and wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Then examine the Utilities menu or the Installer menu and Find Disk Utility.

    No, you should have installed the latest full release version - 3.6.13 - instead of the Firefox 4.0 beta.

    Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

    sonjadg,
    you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update  to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.

  • I am trying to unistall firefox 20 and install the newest firefox version but it won't unistall. It remembers all my data if I install again.

    I am trying to uninstall Firefox 20 and get the newest version which I think is version 21? It will not let me unistall it when I go to the start menu and hit on unistall a program and then choose Firefox. It shows, " Please wait while firefox is unistalling," but it never uninstalls. The green bar never moves. I tried to uninstall it manually and then install firefox 21 but then firefox 20 came back up (after I installed the new version) with all my saved data. It looked like it did before I uninstalled it manually, or thought I did.
    I don't want any of my data. Just a fresh page!
    I just want the firefox startpage, no google, yahoo, etc... I can't figure this out. Apparently, i am more technically challenged than previously thought!
    If anyone can help, please let me now. I run Windows 7 pavilion notebook.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4623 I'm trying to upgrade an ipad and in the system under general there is no software update.  What do I do?

    I'm trying to upgrade an ipad and in the system under general there is no software update.  What do I do?

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    With iOS 6 you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change

  • My i-Pad2 won't charge after I downloaded some new stuff from i-Tunes.  A note appears on the screen "Charging is not supported with this accessory".  I have tried charging through two computers and with the wall socket plug (with another cable).  I have

    My i-Pad won't charge after I downloaded some stuff from i-Tunes.  I have tried charging through two computers and using the wall socket,, with different cables.  I have turned the i-Pad off & on a couple of times but it still won't charge.  Any ideas will be gratefully received.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
