Ugh. I think it's the logic board but not sure.
It freezes, wont start up. i reinstalled tiger and it froze again. from what ive been reading from all the forums its the logic board. i dont think the ram has anything to do with it. i started it in safe mode and it froze again. i did the "shift + ctrl + option + command+ repeatedly simultaneously hitting power. then wait 5 seconds and hit power again," and sometimes it starts. anything else i can do before someone at the genius bar ignores me and tells me to get apple care?
It definitely sounds like the Logic Board. Check the serial number against the serial numbers that are vaild for the Logic Board Replacement Program and hope (if you have a God, pray to it) that your's is one of the ones within the range because, otherwise, it's gonna cost you roughly the price of a new macbook to get it fixed. If it's covered, it's free.
Mine, unfortunately, wasn't covered so I now have a rather expensive paperweight that I will be finished paying off next month.
Yeah, I'm a little bitter...
Good luck!

Late 2007 MBP went black screen. I've been told it is the logic board but not due to the Nvidia GPU
My sister's Oct 2007 MBP just died suddenly. Yesterday when she opened Entourage it said it couldn't open because there wasn't enough memory. We rebuilt the Entourage Identity and it then worked fine. It wouldn't shut down though, and when woken from sleep went gray then black. The apple store here in Spain says it is the logic board but not due to the Nvidia GPU, and it's not worthwhile to replace it. Is it possible they are wrong? They also say it will cost about 800 Euros to replace! It's a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo/2GB/256MB, EMIC No: 2136.

Do you think this is the logic board?
Ok, So I'm sitting in psychology and the computer freezes and the video becomes distorted (like the Photoshop wind filter) little lines going everywhere. I then held the power button and it shut down. Then I tried to boot it, but nothing.
Later it works OK, but do you think this is the logic board?
Will it get worse?
And finally, Do you think I am eligible for a logic board replacement?
Serial: UV3283xxxxxGah, Sorry forgot to mention in the message i have an ibook.
You didn't need to say that you have an iBook because it says it in your system configuration at the bottom of the screen I just thought that I'd mention my experience because it was a bit similar to yours.
I definately think that it is worth getting it checked out. Maybe just drop it off at an Apple store and ask them to do some tests on it to see if the logic board does have a problem. If you are eligable for the logic board replacement then it's definately worth looking into. Often, intermittent problems like this can turn into more serious ones like mine.
I personally would not leave it down to chance.
Good luck

Your Photoshop CC can be installed on a Mac or PC. Just install the Mac CC Desktop app and install Photoshop CC from there. It will be in your Application folder.

Cip burnt on the logic board, but it still works!
Recently when i was using the MacBook (Late 2011, 13', 2.4MHz i5) without it been plugged in, it turned off all of a sudden with the "chich" sound and a puff of smoke came out. I thought my Mac died. But when i turned it on, it stated to work fine (checked with diagnostics, everything worked fine).
So, Just to be sure i took it to the apple service centre, and they showed me that a chip on the logic board (below the fan) have been burnt. but the wonder is, the mac works fine. it would take me around $650+ for me to replace the logic board. can anyone please tell me if this is something i can live with and not replace the logic board ?arrow shows the chip that is burnt

Hi all help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.
But not sure that my lenses will work.
I have a 170mm/ 500mm APO Sigma.
A 10/20 ex Sigma HSM IF.
And a 180 APO Sigma Macro or do I have to scrap them and buy others.
ALL Help will be greatly received. Yours BRODIEIn short, I love it. I was going to buy the 5DMark III. After playing with it for a while at my local Fry's store where they put 5DMII, 5DMIII and 6D next to each other, using the same 24-105L lens, I decided to get the 6D and pocket the different for lens later.
I'm upgrading from the 30D. So I think you'll love it. It's a great camera. I have used 5DMII extensively before (borrowing from a close friend).
Funny thing is at first I don't really care about the GPS and Wifi much. I thought they're just marketing-gimmick. But once you have it, it is actually really fun and helpful. For example, I can place the 6D on a long "monopod", then use the app on the phone to control the camera to get some unique perspective on some scenes. It's fun and great. GPS is also nice for travel guy like me.

Which USB cable do I need to connect to my PC, 30 or 15 pin? I think it's 30 but not sure. Can you buy them in Currys / PC World. If so, how much? Cheers.
Hi. It's the one with the 1" slot, approx, at the bottom next to the earphone plug. It's 8gb with a switch at the top left corner. Not sure if it's a 4th or 5th Gen as I've lost box too (Wife has had a clean out again) and it's not marked on the actual iPod. Thanks.

I think I have a flattener problem but not sure and I don't know how to fix the problem
I downloaded a new font (Lato) and stretched some of the type. It appears fine on the screen and print preview but is distorted on my printed copy. I have tried to convert all text to outlines and selected that preset in the pdf dialog box but this still hasn't solved the problem. I'm not sure if this is even the problem - I would really appreciate help! thanks so much!
Ok I found a site that has a free version of this font and Font Agent Pro found nothing wrong wit it so I loaded it. And I then opened it and saved it as a pdf and then printed it from Acrobat with no problems and looks fine in Acrobat and Illustrator.
I say the font is corrupt I downaoded the font from this address

Try replacing the fonts then try both Illustrator and Acrobat -

You posted in the OS 10.3 (pre year 2000) forum instead of the OS 10.8 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

how come? Documents also have on hand to buy as photo and check the box
So what? The second-hand shop you bought it from didn't follow the right procedures. You also didn't follow the right procedures to make sure that iPhone was not in Activation Lock. It's like buying a car for cash but not getting the title signed over to you. It's not your car if you don' have the title. And that's not legally your iPhone if the previous owner's Apple ID is still registered to the device for Find My iPhone/Activation Lock.
Only a proof of purchase from the ORIGINAL retail store would do any good at all. Return the device to where you bought it and demand your money back. If they refuse, either get a lawyer and/or turn in the device to local police. If you're in possession of stolen property, then the cops won't care about where you got it from. -
Thinking of buying an Xbox 360, but not sure if I'll be able to connect...
So, as the title says, I'm thinking of trying to get an Xbox 360, but I don't know if I'll be able to connect wirelessly to our Time Capsule with the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter.
I've been reading the most recent threads on here that I could, and some say you can connect wirelessly now as of July and the 7.3.2 update, yet other threads say it doesn't work. What should I believe? I really don't want to spend the $400+ on the Xbox, only to find I can't take it online.
Does the Microsoft wireless adapter connect to the Time Capsule yet? Or if it doesn't, what would be my best bet for a wireless adapter?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out with this.hello.
i have a similar question. i have a 360 in my basement. my imac and modem and router are upstairs on the first floor. the 360 has a ethernet cable that comes with it. can i use that and purchase an airport express to connect to the network? After plugging the ethernet cable into the airport express, would that work? Or would I need more hardware (sorry if I seem computer illiterate, but i'm not familiar with networking)?
ive been reading these forums and a lot of people say that they have time capsule or airport base station. do i need these too in order to connect to the internet, even though I already have a Linksys wireless router? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Printer needs static IP address - I think I know what to do, but not sure
I got a new HP 8500A wireless network printer. I have used a US Robotics MAXg wireless router (Model 5461A) for years with zero issues. I have 2 Windows XP PRO computers, and 1 Windows 7 Home Premium. (Plus the Wii, a Kindle, Blu-Ray player, and couple cell phones at various times on the network.)
When I first installed it, the IP address was 192.168.2.9. Today, one of my XP computers couldn't find it, and the IP address had changed to 192.168.2.4. (I have no idea why the other two computers caught the change.) My understanding is that I need to give the printer a static IP address.
My Router status page says that the DHCP server uses a range from .2 to .31.
Therefore, this is what I think I need to do:
In my printer network settings, I need to change from "automatic" to "Manual" with the following values:
IP = 192.168.2.32
Subnet = 255.255.255.0 (from router LAN status page)
Default Gateway = 192.168.2.1 (from router LAN status page)
DNS server = 192.168.2.1 (from router LAN status page)
Alternate DNS server = ?? I have no idea for this one
Then I have to re-install the printer on all three computers with the new static IP, right?
Do I do anything to the router?You have it right. For ease of input, use the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS). Type the current IP into a browser from any of the PC's and you will see it. Navigate to the Networking tab, then choose IPv4 on the left (or similar, there are getting to be a lot of variations in the EWS structure).
Leave the second DNS server blank. You should not have to do anything in the router, except perhaps reboot it with its power cord to issue the new IP.
After that you should be able to delete the printer in the PC's control panel and then re-add them.
