Update 10.5.4 installed and now I can't read the LCD

10.5.4 update installed and when the computer restarted, it made the chime sound, looked ok, the keyboard lit up (it's night) and then the screen went black. After a bit, I can faintly see the log in but I can't make it bright enough to read. I'm able to log in and then I see nothing at all. It's too late at night to call Apple support. Any suggestions? My MacBook Pro is almost 2 years old now. It's a 15 inch with 1 GB of RAM and the 80GB hard drive.

Maybe I should also mention that the light that is normally on (the one that fades in and out when the computer is sleeping) isn't on anymore. The OS is definitely working because if I hit the return key, it looks like it's opening a document on my desktop. But I can't see the menu bar at the top at all. The only things I can see are things in the middle of the LCD and they're so faint. If I push the power button, I get the choices to restart, shutdown, etc but restarting or shutting down don't seem to help.

  • Installed both 10.1.4 and 11.0.08 updates this week and now I can't use the Digital "Sign" document feature.  It's been completely removed.  Need it back. Please help..

    I installed both 10.1.4 and 11.0.08 updates this week and now I can't use the Digital "Sign" document feature.  It's been completely removed.  Need it back. Please help..  Can't sign or add text to any pdf document. Even when security properties allow it. 

    I would remove Reader and repair or reinstall Acrobat.
    Having different major versions can cause some users issues. Reader is not necessary if one has Acrobat installed. Even though Adobe has improved the capability of having both Reader and Acrobat with the same major version level there are still user configurations that have problems with this setup.

    I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

    beggsc54,  There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1.  If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.

    That's not a good sign, take your iPhone to a premium reseller or to an Apple Store.

  • I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

    I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do.  How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

    The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
    You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
    Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

    I have purchased Lightroom 5 and had it installed but I had to replace my matchbook pro and now I can't find the activation key - is there a way I can get it emailed to me or how do I find it? Most other plugin's email out the activation key so you have a copy but I have seen no way to get it.

    If you registered your Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can log into your Adobe account and get your serial number from your account.

  • I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

    I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

    I don't follow your instructions... mine goes Settings->General->Cellular and from there it's just on/off options for Cellular Data, Enable 3G, Data Roaming, etc. Or I could go Settings->General->Profile APN Carrier Settings but when I click that it just shows as verified but no Visual Voice APN or MMS Settings. If I click More Details it goes to Signing Certificate which has a bunch of parameters for unlockit.co.nz but I am unable to change anything.
    I just updated my iphone 3GS to IOS 6 and my internet (wifi and 3G), voice and text all work, but the only thing I can't do is send/receive pictures via text message. I am using At&t prepaid sim. I tried turning off the phone completely but I'm trying to avoid a complete restore.. at least until I can understand the problem better! Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't connect to iTunes store

    I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't connect to the iTunes store.   Anybody else having this problem?

    I made some progress. The problem is thatiTunes is looking for a  certain LSP (Layered Serviice Provider). Some antivirus software (PCTools in my case, wants another one.
    1) Disable andy spyware
    2) run command "netsh winsock reset" and reboot.
    3) Voila it works.
    I don't know all the consequences of this change but somebody is going to need their products' code.
    Be careful, I know this works for me, but your mileage may vary.

    I recently updated IOS 7.1.2 and now I can't view many images in websites?  Does anyone know how to fix?
    Also a security password has appeared on my iPhone which is 4 didgets long that I don;t recall setting up.  This is blocking me updating IOS.  It is usually alpha numeric.

    Yeah that is what I thought, but the passcode used to be alpha numeric and just changed to being 4 didgets and I don;t recall making that change.  This is only to approve updates on my iPhone.  The other issue is on my mac pro.
