TV-Out and analogue issues with NX6800GT TD256
Hi,
I bought this card about two months ago and am having issues with it...
Firstly, on Sunday the analogue output for the monitor stopped working correctly. All of the pictures coming through had this kind of green overlay (so the text even in bios boot that would ordinarily be white looked kinda green). I tested with another monitor, it was the same. I tried putting it on DVI, and it worked properly.
Now, I want to use TV-Out, but when I connect the TV-Out to the card while I have DVI plugged in, I can't get the TV to display at the same time as the monitor is plugged into the DVI connector (it works when plugged into the HD-15, though again, looks green).
Anyone have any suggestions for what I should do? Can the card display both tv-out and DVI at the same time?
Andrew
Anyone have any suggestions about this?

Got the dreaded no wifi on my wife's iPhone 4S. Wifi greyed out and no luck with the reset network instructions. Why isn't Apple addressing this issue? We are a family of Apple product users, 2 ipads, an ipad mini, 4 iPhones but one isn't working! Issue began whenwe upgraded the operating system.....
Come on Apple.....get this issue sorted out!Just out of warranty. This is a software issue. everything was ok until the software update. Apple just need to sort it out.

I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information, his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go. Is there any way to eliminate his iCloud account and make mine the primary without rebooting it back to factory settings? There was an update, I believe, that I couldn't install because i didn't have his password that is what made me aware that his acct. was still active. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like. -
I just got my iPad, I have an iPod. When I go to put apps on my new ipad it says my apple ID Is disabled. I have reset the passwords. Somehow I have two id's? I've gone into settings for apps signed out and back in with the new p.w. I can't think of what else to do to get the disabled block off. Any ideas?? Thanks

Autocomplete and linking issues with gchat on apple messages
So I'm having a couple related(ish) problems with apple messages and gchat/hangouts/whatever it's called these days and imessage on my laptop:
1) Gchat contacts sometimes do and sometimes don't autocomplete when i cmd+n for a new message and then start typing in the 'send to' field. this occurs irrespective of whether i try to start a jabber conversation via typing their email or via typing their name. I've noticed a couple of semi-consistent factors that seem to be impacting it, at least sometimes, but can't pinpoint anything entirely consistent:
-It seems to be more problematic with contacts that I have their (google) email address on their contacts card in my icloud account on my actual computer/iphone (as opposed to not having them linked to a contact, and them being merely listed on my gchat friends list by virtue of being imported when i created the account)
-It seems to be more problematic with buddies that i have had more recent contact with, so that their existing conversation is closer to the top of the messages window (and plus, even this isn't entirely consistent - sometimes it lets me type and find their jabber account even if i chatted yesterday and it's second or third on the list, other times it just returns no results in the address field, and other times (when they're a contact with email address as well as phone number) it only gives me their imessage account but their jabber doesn't show up and i have to go to my buddy list to find them)
Any thoughts? It's sometimes easier to just do cmd+n and type a friend's name even if i have an existing conversation with them relatively top to the close of the list, than manually finding them in the list or looking at the buddy list or using the search bar. cmd+n typically works at least with imessage conversations, and sometimes even with jabber accounts/gchat, so it doesn't seem like this is merely a feature that doesn't exist.
2) This might be less of a bug and more of a feature, but i'm wondering if there's a way to deactivate it. A lot of my friends have both imessages and gchat, and i have their google email and phone number on their contact card. in this case, apple messages, seemingly arbitrarily, alternates back and forth betweeen gchatting them and imessaging them in the same conversation. it doesn't always correspond to their away/available status on gchat, and even when it does correspond, i'd still prefer to be able to manually override to send an imessage even if they are available on gchat, I'd prefer to just have separate conversations going for imessage and gchat (because a lot of my friends just never look at one or the other depending on whether they are or arent near their computer, so i need to be able to control where the message goes). I do have a separate jabber conversation with John Smith from their imessage, but within the imessage conversation it still sometimes switches to jabber. It seems like this only happens for contacts that have both email and imessaage on their vcard, but i'd prefer not to delete the email address from their vcard just to resolve this issue, since the email address on contact comes in handy for purposes other than gchat. is there any workaround/way to disable this auto-switching between imessage and gchat accounts in the same conversation, while keeping contacts' email and phone number linked on their vcard?
3) Some, but not all, of my android friends show up as having imessage when i type their name to contact via gchat. sometimes it says imessages for their phone number, and sometimes instead for their gmail (or both). With respect to the issue when it happens in phone number form: i've checked their contact cards and their phone number is just listed as mobile (not iphone or anything, though i'm unsure if the category of phone number actually tells the phone whether they have imessage, or if it recognizes (in this case, incorrectly) on its own). Of course the imessage won't actually send, but it's pretty annoying (especially in light of the problem from #1). Is their any way to tell messages that this person doesn't have imessage so it stops saying they do?
Couldn't decide whether to post these separately or together, but since they may or may not be related i opted for the latter. sorry for the length. searched for all 3 and didn't find anything quite on point.

messages v8.0Hi,
Re 1)
If a Buddy (Google, AIM or Yahoo) is in the Buddy list as just the ID or Screen Name then broadly speaking they are not in your Contacts list.
As such they will not show a "Real Name".
However any Buddy can be added to the Contacts List even if you don't add a "Real Name"
This in itself can also cause issues as the Contacts app does not create what it sees as Duplicate cards.
i.e. you cannot create two cards with the name John Smith.
It is easier if the ID/Screen Name becomes the "Real Name".
I have three Macs
On each the My Card for myself reflects the Computer it is from and those Cards are synced on my iMac.
Some of the various Jabber and AIM Screen Names are linked to the particular computers.
That means if I type "ra" as the start of my Name in the "to" spot I get this:-
First is a national breakdown service for helping out with cars (as opposed to any other breakdown)
The next is a Buddy that I have hidden.
It lists Apple ID and telephone numbers that it thinks are iMessages compatible (it thinks all numbers are valid) liked to be G4 tower's card.
It continues listing AIM, Jabber, Yahoo and other iMessages accounts as well as the Bonjour contact details.
As you can see some at the bottom are IDs and Screen Names that are not associated with any of the Address Cards.
In these cases my name from part of the ID so "ra" picks then up.
As you can see you should get AIM, Jabber (Google), iMessages and Yahoo account indicated.
That should then lead to 2)
Once in the conversation you can use the "To" spot to change which ID you are calling and therefore effectively change which service you are using.
In this Pic I have chosen to call Myself (easy with multiple accounts)
My iMac My Card has no jabber account listed so you only see iMessages and AIM option listed.
I can "call" my main AIM name (ralphjohnsr) from the other three Accounts linked to this Card.
From your end it may look like a random switch but in fact is most likely from an incoming change by the Buddy/Contact.
You can make the change by using the "To" spot and a drop down
The centralised messages in the chat should tell you of Changes as will the ID in the text field before typing
Re 3)
It will depend on what their Apple ID is.
Some have had @mac.com names for a long time and linked them to MobileMe than more recently iCloud.
Some linked their @me.com names form MobileMe to iCloud at the Change.
Most recently iCloud IDs have been given @iCloud.com emails from the start.
However any email can be used as an Apple ID.
The pic above has my Apple ID partially hidden for that lower iMessages info across the center.
You may find that some people are using their Google ID as their Apple ID AND also using it as both the iMessages registered name and the Google ID in the Messages app.
Lets explain this another way.
When iChat 1 came out Apple joined the AIM service with it (it did AIM and Bonjour which was then called Rendezvous)
At that time Apple entered in to an agreement with AIM that any Apple Issued ID would be a valid AIM Screen Name.
At that time the Apple Service was .Mac and @mac.com IDs were being issued as paid for accounts, Trial Accounts and after while Lapsed paid for accounts.
These all worked as iChat/AIM Screen Names.
Then Apple changed to MobileMe and issued @me.com IDs
The trials only lated until you ended them and the IDs no longer worked in iChat after that as valid AIM Screen Names and nor did lapsed Paid For accounts.
More recently Apple have stopped a paid for Service and moved to iCloud.
At the change you could link Any Apple ID to iCloud and you got an @me.com ID from the iCloud server (it could be the same as the on MobileMe but did seem to be "separate").
Later these became @iCloud.com IDs (Some people have both under iCloud and in some cases linking @mac.com names to MobileMe @me.com accounts for email still continues).
To be clear you could link Any existing email ID to iCloud such as Google ID.
But broadly I am speaking of gaining various Apple Issued IDs over time that may or may not be linked to one account.
These Apple Issued IDs works as Valid AIM Screen Names in Messages. (the iCloud issued ones don't work in iChat 5 or earlier though).
I linked an external to Apple dial-up Email that has been my long time Apple ID to iCloud and got an @me.com ID at first and later an @icloud.com one as well.
I can use these two separately in Messages as Valid AIM names.
Someone using their Google ID as their Apple ID could use it as the iMessages registered Name AND as the GoogleTalk/Jabber entry as well.
This might explain why it looks like they are swapping about.
There can be one other explanation and that is dependent on where they are logged in.
Obviously a GoogleTalk user can log in to the Google web Mail page and use Talk there.
Although I don't use Google+ I presume there is a similar web page to chat from there.
This would limit them to being "On Google" rather than iMessages when they sent a messages to you.
Re GoogleTalk
Obviously Android is Google.
The Account settings at Google incudes the "products" you can link and use from your Account.
Previously with a Google Mail Account that included enabling "Talk" which then allowed you to chat from the Web Mail Page login (or your chosen Jabber able app)
Now Google use Google+ and this seems to give you automatic access to "Talk" to the extent it is no longer something you have to Activate.
I am wondering if using a Android phone is linked to having a Google+ account and that the phone number can be part of that ID set up (similar to iMessages and iPhone Numbers).
If it does it would then depend if the phone is linked to both the Number and the Google ID as to what they can login as in certain situations.
I am not sure I have covered everything but I think I have covered most things.
From what you post I am not sure that there is an issue or not although I have posted what is normal and expected I think there are some fringe things that are an issue.

Unable to log into iMessage and intermittent issues with FaceTime
Late 2011 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.8.4. I'm an admin level Windows guy but a relatively new (and otherwise very pleased) convert to Mac OS.
This morning Messages started repeatedly prompting me for my iMessage password and FaceTime has starting working only intermittently. Both work fine from my iPad and iPhone 5. Both have been working from my MacBook Pro for months.
This morning when I tried to fire up Messages on the MacBook I got an error saying "The server encountered an error processing registration". After doing some Googling, I noticed that many folks said that when they had this problem they also had an issue with FaceTime. I confirmed that FaceTime was indeed giving me the same error as iMessage. After trying some solutions from past threads that didn't work, I rebooted. Now instead of throwing an error, Messages just keeps asking me for my iMessage password again and again. FaceTime works occasionally but sometimes when I get a call and click answer, I get "call failed" as my iPhone and iPad continue to ring and then I'm asked to re-enter my password on the MacBook. If I enter my password it just sits and spins. If i quit FaceTime and start it again, it'll usually log in successfully but calls may or may not work (following the same pattern I just mentioned).
The odd thing to me is that when I tested FaceTime on my iPad, I got notifications on my iPad and iPhone and my primary and alternate email address were now registered with FaceTime. They have been for over a year so I'm not sure why I'm getting those notifications again.
I'm able to log into the Mac App store without a problem using the same AppleID
What I've tried so far based on Google results:
1. In Keychain Access, reset my default keychain - No improvement
2. In Keychain Access, selected Keychain First Aid, repaired and verified - No improvement
3. On my iPad, turned iMessage off and back on - No improvement, though iMessage on the iPad still works fine
4. Confirmed that my primary and secondary AppleID email addresses and password are correct. The email address associated with my AppleID is not associated with any other AppleIDs.
Thanks!This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 4
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 6
Select from the menu bar
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 7
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 8
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 9
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 10
Reinstall OS X.
Step 11
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. -
Upgraded to TimeCapsule and now issues with AirPrint from iPhone and iPad
Okay. I bought a HP 210a air print printer. It was working great with my Linksys router and my iPad and iPhone worked with it perfectly. Since that time I have recently bought a new new 2TB Time Capsule and just recently set it up. The old router is no longer hooked up. Since switching over to the new router, nothing prints from the iPhone or iPad. So here are the details and I am hoping I am just missing a step:
1. I think it is important to point this part out. After setting up the new router, and before discovering any of this, I turned on the HP printer. Upon doing so, the printer informed me a software update was available from HP so I downloaded it and it appeared everything was fine.
2. After the update, I tried printing and nothing. Duh, the printer was still looking for the old router. I ran the built in HP wireless setup wizard on the printer and it pointed to the new router fine. I tested the connection using the test feature on the printer, and it printed a report that all was fine and that it was now pointed at the Time Capsule, great signal, etc...
3. I went to my iPhone and iPad, made sure they were pointed at the same network as the printer, and once again the printer appeared on each device as an AirPrint printer. Great I thought, so printed a test a page from each device. Both pages printed. Now here is where it gets weird.
4. I tried to print a second document from the iPad and iPhone, nothing. I tried a picture. Nothing. It still shows eveything setup correctly, the HP shows as the AirPrint printer and connected, but no matter what I do, it nothing is printing from either device. I've tried resetting my network settings on the iPhone and iPad and pointing to the network again, re-running the HP setup Wizard on the printer. They all show that everything is fine. The iPhone and iPad connect to the network fine, both show the printer when I go to print. However, after I hit the "print" button on either device, it shows like the document is being sent but NOTHING happens on the HP. It is very frustrating.
The WiFi is working fine, I can surf, email, etc... so the router is working properly. So what am I missing? Could the HP update somehow have caused the problem? I have to believe that between the update and the new router that somewhere I am missing a step. Any help is greatly appreciated.If that doesn't work, try power cycling your router, printer, and your iPad/iPhone in that order. To do this, follow these steps:
Unplug the router and printer from the power and shut off the i-devices. Let them sit for about 30 seconds and then plug just the router in.
Once the router is completely back online (usually takes about 30-60 seconds) plug the printer in. Wait until it is back on its home screen.
Turn the i-devices on.
Try to print again.
Let me know if this helps!

Address Book and Sync Issues with Verizon Curve
I got my first BB about a month ago and like it, for the most part. I have three major issues with it now:
1. SYNC I've downloaded and installed the latest software from pocket mac and my first sync went fine (I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11). Every sync after that has failed. I've tried the recommended solutions like cleaning out the sync history, re-installing, etc. I've un-installed and re-installed several times with no change. The sync begins fine and but never finishes. One thing that could be a problem is the version - every time I download the software, I've clicked on the newest version, (PocketMacForBlackBerry4.1.25.dmg) but after it installs, it calls itself Version 1.2 (1.4). Shouldn't it be 4.1? I know there are issues with older versions, but I can't seem to get 4.1 installed.
2. ADDRESS BOOK Sinse my first and only sync, I've needed to add a LOT of contacts into my address book manually. It doesn't work most of the time. When I add a new contact and save, it won't exit the contact, but pops up this note: "Address updated externally, changes will be lost and the viewer closed." The same thing happens if I'm trying to create a new entry or edit an existing entry. The real crazy part is that many of the numbers I've added show up when they are incoming calls - the name and correct phone number, but when I try to call out on my phone, the contact info will not show.
3. GPS Not a major deal, but none of the GPS services work. I use the Google Maps mobile app, but the GPS does not work. Neither does any of the other software I have installed for GPS. I have gone into the preferences and enabled the GPS and saved the changes. The logo even appears on the main screen, it just doesn't work. *NOTE* I've found that Verizon has disabled the GPS unless you pay for the VZ Navigator service. Typical Verizon marketing. Is there any way to bypass Verizon's block?
Needless to say, I'm not very impressed with Pocket Mac software of the RIM address book utility. I've read over many of the posts in this forum and see many other frustrated users. Makes me really think about throwing my money at an iPhone.
If anyone has any solutions to my problems/frustrations, I would be VERY grateful.

This pocketmac people claim in the website to offer "solutions" but they have given me lots of headaches and I too would just go and buy an iphone. The only problem is that AT&T does not work in my house.
No matter how many tricks I have tried I cannot make my 8330 accept the changes i make in my address book. It is absolutely a killer.
Some previous user said that bluettoth could help but at any rate that was to over ride the address book with the 8330 data and in my case i was trying to do the opposite.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! -
Battery not recognised - and other issues with 867MHz Ti Book
Ok - here`s my story - I wonder if anyone can give me advice
on what to do next.
A week ago I started having trackpad issues with my tibook.
On 2 consecutive mornings the trackpad seemed to have frozen, held down. So that it brought up menus if the mouse was moved over one of the bars at the top of the screen. I wasn`t however, able to `click` on anything. An external
mouse, when plugged in, also didn`t work, though I was able to navigate the display using the keyboard shortcuts.
The first morning this happened, the OS also appeared to reset itself. ie the screen display picture went back to its original state - and all of the applications that i subsequently opened gave me a first time user `welcome` message.However, all of my files/photos/music etc were intact.
When the trackpad was working I backed everything up, ran
the hardware test cd, which came up clear, and called apple. They picked up the computer, which is under
warranty, on Friday, and at the time it was working fine.
I got the computer back yesterday, but unrepaired, and
with a new set of faults. Apple told me that they had checked the computer and had found
some evidence on the logic board, power in and bottom case
of past liquid spillage - but no other problems with the
computer. I don`t deny the liquid spillage ( a few ml of
water), although it
occurred 11 months ago and I have not had any problems with
the computer since 24 hours after the spill.
The state of the computer now that Apple have sent it back
is as follows: The trackpad is working. However, the computer is not recognsing the battery, or the wireless
networking Buffalo pc card. The clock also resets one out
of every 2 or 3 times that I restart the computer. These problems did not occur before I sent the computer to Apple.
Yesterday I erased and reinstalled 10.4 just in case that had
something to do with it - but it has not helped
So - my questions.
1. Could my current problems be to do with the spillage
on the logic board 11 months ago?
2. Could my new problems be to do with something that Apple
did when testing the computer this week?
3. Is there anything else that I should try in order to solve the issues that I`m having with the computer?
4. If it is a logic board problem, can anyone recommend
a UK repair centre that would deal with this cheaply (otherwise i will probably buy a new computer - as this
one is coming up for 3 years)?
Thanks,
AntonyHi Antony,
1. Could my current problems be to do with the spillage
on the logic board 11 months ago?
Yes. Corrosion occurs over time, and it could have taken 11 months to reach "critcal mass."
2. Could my new problems be to do with something that Apple
did when testing the computer this week?
Theoretically, any time anyone does anything inside your PB, they could have caused additional issues, however, this would not be "normal."
3. Is there anything else that I should try in order to solve the issues that I`m having with the computer?
4. If it is a logic board problem, can anyone recommend a UK repair centre that would deal with this cheaply (otherwise i will probably buy a new computer - as this one is coming up for 3 years)?
Before paying for a new LB or a new PB, try a PMU Reset and Test PB Backup Battery. -
Font is changed when print out and other issues
Hi,
I need help with some of my issues with Diadem. I am quite new with Diadem.
I use Diadem to generate report from teststands. The data is passed from Teststands - VI using Diadem connectivity toolkit and a VB script is called to generate PDF and print out the computer.
1. First issue: the font on the diadem looks different with the one is printed out or in pdf. The font in pdf is bigger than in Diadem. You can look in my screenshot.
2. Second issue: sometime it cannot export pdf and the error message is Cannot open the .pdf file.
3. I need to get the channel name and the content of it in the script. Could you please tell me how to do it?
Thank you for your help!

I was able to print a PDF file that looks good, though perhaps the missing link for me is the master layout file you haven't sent yet:
