VGA CRT will not "wake up"... help please. Reset display settings?

Hello everybody,
I have a mirror drive doors G4 Tower, Dual 1.25 GHz.
I have an ADC and a DVI out from the computer. Just had damage to my old studio display so I am attempting to use just one CRT running from the DVI... w/ a DVI to VGA adapter.
The first time I tried this w/ a CRT it worked fine... I played around w/ monitor settings... still worked fine. Shut down... unhooked CRT and moved that CRT away.
Tried using it with another CRT and the new CRT never started up... remained on stand-by/sleep.
I tried with another moniter... this time a LCD/Flatscreen... again VGA and it did the same thing, EXCEPT... this time when I connected the LCD to the adapter and then plugged the adapter into the DVI on my tower the LCD screen would turn on for about 1 second and display my login page. The picture was not perfect though... it was distorted someway.
Went back to the first CRT... now this one didn't work.
I think that maybe I have to reset my display settings with some sort of shortcut or something... maybe it's on the wrong frequency?
I don't know... any help much appreciated. I hate having to use this PC.
Thanks,
James

Can you start up in "safe mode"? If so, you can reset your display settings and reboot. If not, you have a problem either with your video card or your DVI/VGA adaptor

Turned out to be a faulty DVI to VGA adapter.

IPod Touch will not wake up unless I reset it

I have the 5th generation iPod Touch and have fairly recently updated to 8.1.1. I have a problem of it not waking up unless I dod a hard reset (holding both buttons down for 10 seconds). After it comes up there is a bit of a delay before finger swipes are responded to. If I turn it off and immediately back on, it does ok. It appears to be after it has been off for a while that it will not wake up. The charge is full and it appears to function properly after it's up and going so I don't think it's a hardware issue. I have noticed since the 8.1.1 update it appears to run warm at times. Not hot, but warmer that I ever recalling it being.
I tried doing a full reset of the device then restoring it out of desperation but it still acts this way. Any ideas what is going on?

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

I am running windows 7. We updated firefox and it would no longer open. I uninstalled it and reinstalled from firefox website. I click on the firefox icon and it will not open. Help please

It installs and I attempted to launch the browser and it never starts. I tried to uninstall, but it says firefox is running. I restart my computer and uninstall and try again. It still will not open after install is complete. Why won't it ever open up? Help please!

Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. 
*If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to Tools -> Add-ons then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. 
*If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
Please report back your progress.

Accidentally deleted bonjour from my computer. iTunes will not open. Help Please.

Accidentally deleted Bonjour from my computer. iTunes will not open. Running Windows XP. Help please.

Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

Hi
I was told its a big that is being fixed. In the mean time to clear this delay out (that builds over time after alot of sms). Backup your DRM activation keys, contacts using PC suite (PC suite phone memory backup that backups phones ROM). Then do *#7370#. You will have to then re-install any SISX appplications you bought though, re-synch contactsetc

IPhone will not turn on, help please!!!

My phone will not turn on! The apple logo comes up for a couple secs then it turns off. It does this even when plugged into wall and computer, any help would be greatly appreciated because I can't get on iTunes to restore it! Thanks!

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

TS1541 I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Help please.

I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
Thanks for your time and expertise,
T.

You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
4 - My contact details
/Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.

I hope this helps.

I have updated to iOS8. Now cannot connect to BT speaker I have been using for months. BT discovers it but will not pair. Help please

I have updated to iOS8. Now cannot connect to BT speaker that I have been using for months. BT discovers it but will not pair. I have tried switching both off & on but nothing helps.

I am sure the BT speaker not the problem because it works fine with iOS8 on my iPad!
... And no I am not trying to connect both at once. To be sure I have switched the iPad off completely and switched the speaker off & on but still with the same failure to pair. The iPhone sees the speaker but then gives me the pairing unsuccessful message when asked to connect.

I downloaded some music a friend gave me and it will not transfer to my phone. It is sitting in the "not on this iPhone" tab with grey circles next to it. It is also sitting in my iTunes library but will not transfer. Help please!

Help please! Question is in topic. I haven't been able to figure this out.

i guess i just wasn't waiting long enough. after about a half-hour, songs began to update. i hope this is not normal and is only happening the first time.

My screen will not turn on help please

I have a Cinema Display 20" wide screen that is connected to my Mac mini but I can not get the monitor to turn on. I haven't put it to use for a little over a year could that be the problem? the display is an older model I believe it's between 2007/2008. My mini is 2009.

If the battery was completely drained the iPad will not respond for some time after connecting it to the charger. Connect the iPad to the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait 30 minutes. Then reset the iPad.Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until it's battery shows fully charged. If the iPad still does not start Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. Be sure to back up your device before taking or sending it to Apple.

I am trying to download an app but it says it requires iOS5. I have iOS5 but it still will not load. What do I need to do?

If you haven't used your apple ID in a long time, Apple discards it. Contact tech support to activate your old one or to get a new one.
