Used to, but now can't detect a NTSC/PAL external monitor.

This has come up in this forum as well as others in the past. Here is the syndrome:
1. iBook (or other) is hooked up to an external NTSC/PAL monitor (in my case a Sumsung LCD TV) via the mini-VGA/S-Video out.
2. Works perfectly for some period of time, days to years, as far as I've seen people post.
3. Suddenly, iBook does not recognize the external NTSC monitor, and outputs crap onto the monitor.
4. Detect display in the preferences only gives the native LCD (ibook) and a VGA external monitor.
5. This doesn't go away, and no one has found a way to make it go away.
Anyone figure out what the crap is going on with this? ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION???

Hi, I have recently got myself a second hand computer MAC OS X Version 10.4.11,Processor 800 MHz PowerPC G4. Have only used windows before. Unfortunately I managed to uninstall Adobe but now can't seem to reinstall as this an older computer

Hi, I have recently got myself a second hand computer MAC OS X Version 10.4.11,Processor 800 MHz PowerPC G4. Have only used windows before. Unfortunately I managed to uninstall Adobe but now can't seem to reinstall as this an older computer and is not compatible with the new versions. Sorry to sound thick but really have never used Apple before. Would really appreciate any help at all. Thanks..

Windows or apple it makes no difference, if you don't have the install discs you can't install.
Did you buy the machine with Adobe (you don't say what adobe program you're talking about) installed? If so the vendor should have given you the discs or else it's technically a pirated copy. If you're talking about acrobat (which is free) then you should be able to find older versions on the adobe site.

iMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store. I can't pay for it so I would really appreciate the help.

Look in your applications folder for the installer - Install OS X Yosemite. Delete it. Then go back to the App Store purchases tab and see if you can download it. You might have to re-index Spotlight.

Hello ac4320a,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To reinstall any application which came with your Mac, you will need to reinstall OS X.

I was using Numbers '08 and just upgraded to 3.5.2 but now can't open any of my '08 files. Message says save to '09 first to open. Well, I don't have '09 so what do I do?

Or you may obtain iWork '09 DVD package from Amazon online et al. Sold at very low price now. It is really worth it. Don't forget to apply the iWork 9.0.3 updater after intalling it.

I used to be able to play music and podcasts in a single playlist (with iTunes DJ), but now can't seem to do this. Is there a way around this with iTunes 11?

You are freaken genius! Apple should update their instructions on how to give playlists, because the old way no longer works. And people tend to give gifts around this time of year. Anyway, mahalo niu loa (thank you very much)!

Have a 802.11n time capsule, the range of the wireless network has shrunk down to nothing over last few days. Used to be able to use wireless network anywhere in house, but now can only use in my office. Will not connect to iphones, ipad, itouch, or notebook. Worked fine last week, but over weekend just started having issues.

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has appeared recently that is preventing your Time Capsule (TC) from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible. Look for other Wi-Fis that may be operating nearby. Note those with the strongest signals and which channels they are operating on ... then change the channel used by the TC to be at least 3-5 channels away.

I down loaded an app, used it, but now its gone. No on the ipad and not in itunes. where could it be? And, can I re-download it w/o having to pay again. Thanks

As long as it's still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy it then yes, you can re-download it for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

What happens when you try to update using an USB connection
to iTunes on a computer? If there is an error message, what is
the exact wording? Are you using the latest version of iTunes 11.1.1?
