Very weird monitor problem, betcha can't solve this one.

OK I have a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with 4GB of Ram, it's fully up to date with Lion, and is connected to a Formac W2300-1U 23 inch TFT Monitor (DVI, VGA, 1920 x1080, 1000:1, 5ms, 400cd/m²) through a HDMI to Mini port adaptor.
Now, the problem is the monitor flicks off, then on, at first I thought it was just randomly, but today I isolated the problem to something specific that make it happen. When I open the preference panel, and click on 'Trackpad' as soon as the video demo starts to play the monitor switches off then on.
It's totally weird, what on earth could be causing this? Any ideas?

ok well i have no idea what happened. i started out again with a fresh installation of JBoss, and it worked. no clue as to what was wrong. musta been some JAR that was out of place or something.
thank you for your help!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

Can anyone solve this one?

Hi,
I've got a problem with compiling the code below.
I've downloaded a java and a class file. The class file is working (it's a slide-menu).
Because I wanted to update a record in a DB, I changed the java file. The part I changed is the part under ActionPerformed. The actionPerformed code is working independently.
But when I implement it in the java file, he stops compiling.
I tried to compile the original code, but it stopped also at the same line. In the new code it's line 318.
The line is:
this.add(mainMenu);
and the error is:
method add(java.awt.Menu) not found in class FisMenu.
The strangest thing is that he gives an error in the code which is used in the WORKING class file.
I have had a hint to use Japplet instead of Applet, that�s why I post this problem here.
can anyone help me out?
thanks in advance.

But I'll sure appriciate any help from you or anyone else, today and in the future :)
about the working class file, I downloaded it once and it's working, but when I compile the java file it crashes (even in de original downloaded code).
I just need a way for my code to accept the add method (even if there are major changes needed).

Mysterious NoClassDefError. Can't solve this one

hey guys,
I've been baffled for days by this problem. I'm about to give up, hopefully someone here knows more than I do. I keep running into this error:
19:09:04,112 ERROR [[default]] Servlet.service() for servlet default threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundErrorThe thing is, usually a NoClassDefFoundError is followed by the name of the class the code is trying to use, but couldn't find in the classpath, right? Something like java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError com.foo.bar.Whatever
but this time, the error is just that with no further information. The exact line of code that always throws this error is this
Session currentSession = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();HibernateUtil is my own class. Session is org.hibernate.Session;
I have no compilation error, which SHOULD indicate that I have all the necessary classes, .jars, and whatever. but this error just won't die.
I have no idea what to do...
thanks for any help

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
Here is a link to a Widget to monitor your temps and other operations:

since you are running 10.6.8 did you install the combo update?
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
It is more stable than the regular version.
You could use your original install disc and boot from the disc, run Disc Utility and do a repair disk.

It's very annoying... really!

There is a large whitish stain on my imac 21,5 screen. How can I solve this problem?

My imac came up with this stain on its screen. It seems to be condensation behind the glass screen, but I'm not sure. If I rub it A LOT with a cotton cloth, it tends to disappear, but it comes back. I haven`t used any cleaning product ever, so I feel it`s a problem of the imac itself. Please, how can I solve this? I've had this machine for almost 2 years now, so it is not in the warrant period anymore, I guess.

Is the stain maybe on the back of the glass? It's an easy job to take the glass off to give it a thorough clean. Just to emphasise that as the screen is held on by magnets there is a very strong pull when you are putting the screen back on and if you are not prepared for it it could take you by surprise and snap back rather too quickly. I put the tip of my finger behind to stop it slamming shut. Repositioning of the glass is easy as there are guide pins.
All at your own risk, of course, and best to turn off and unplug the Mac whilst you do this.

P.S. I use the suction cap from my SatNav to pull the screen off.

Hello fuchs (guess), If you cancelled while downloading the 4GB Lion, no problem, download again. Snow Leopard should run (start holding the option key).
If you cancelled during the install process, I do not know. In this case you could try to start with the CMD + R keys pressed, and choose the restore, which may work if the creation of the restore partition of Lion has finished.
If that does not work, reinstall Snow Leopard with the CD (start holding the C key), after that download the Combo Update 10.6.8 to update the Snow Leopard completely, then redownload Lion (App Store, click "purchases" while holding the Option Key, find Lion, click "install"). If you want to have your own copy of the Lion installer, you have to copy the installer to a Memory stick or burn to DVD before you install, see else where.

Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update

Hope that helps.

I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page

I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page

The Game Center app is pre installed and cannot be removed from the device.
Best thing to do is move it to the last available screen.
Hold down the Game Center app until all the apps jiggle then sliide the Game Center app to the right from one screen to the next. This requires a bit of finesse, but it's doable.
Press the Home button one time to stop the apps from jiggling.
For the Apple ID issue, try resetting.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then try your Apple ID and password for the Game Center app.

The problem is when we create and then publish to ibooks review it can not be shown completely. How can I solve this problem?

If you are saying, that you published the book to the iBooks review team and cannot be seem in the store.
Use your iTunes Connect account > Manage your Books to check on its status. It takes time so you need to allow a few days.
If its a problems viewing on your iPad Follow the above advice and another option is is export your book, open iBooks on your Mac and drag the book into iBooks.
You can iTunes > add to libray and sync to your iPad.
