Water on laptop and now turns on in "safe boot"

Any idea what I do now besides make an appointment at the store? I have a deadline and need to get online on my laptop (where all my files are) and it won't let me turn on the airport in "safe boot" mode. How do I get it OUT of safe boot mode???

Hi.
It sounds like the water is shorting out the 'Shift' key contacts, the 'Shift' key is used for Safe Boot. Besides that, it is not advisable to continue to use your iBook until it has properly dried out.
My recommendation is that firstly, STOP USING THE iBOOK IMMEDIATELY, turn it off, unplug the power cord and remove the battery. The more you use it in this condition the more likely it is that the water will work itself into one or more 'live' components and kill it completely.
Once you have done the above place a towel over the trackpad area & release the keyboard via the two catches by the '1' and the 'Backspace' keys. You may have to turn the screw next to 'num lock' 180º first. Turn the KB over making sure that any water that runs out is caught by the towel then leave it so that it is keys down onto the towel and use another towel/kitchen paper to mop up any visible water.
Place the iBook somewhere warm and airy and leave it unused and with the KB as above for several days. The longer you leave it the more chance there is of it coming through unscathed.
If you didn't spill much water and you want to take the risk you could completely remove the KB and use an external.
Removal instructions Here.
Best of luck, and I mean that!

Elaborate please. Your information is minimal. What update? What operating system are you running on what model MacBook Pro? Describe what happened.

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

HT203163 I recently had to replace my laptop and now when I try and sync my phone to my laptop I am asked to authorise the laptop, but after I enter my login and password, the search for itunes fails with a message that itunes is not currently available

I recently had to replace my laptop and now I can't sync iTunes and my phone - the message is that the laptop is not authorised and when I try and authorise it it says that the itunes store is currently unavailable - but it is available on my phone, and I have been trying for over 24hrs - it should be available by now.
I have checked my firewall settings and they are ok
How can I remove old PC's that I no longer use and make sure that this is the only computer that is authorised for my account - and how can I access the iTunes store so that I can authorise it?
Help please

i had to format my laptop
You can reinstall Lion (Mac OS X) by pressing Command + R while booting your Mac. No need to re download Lion again.

Restore your phone using the last backup that you made. That should put everything back the way it was.

I synced my ipod to my laptop and now I can't find my music help. I called the support but was told that that help expired. I did not even know I had that offered to me HELP!!!!

You may be able to redownload your iTunes purchases by:

BTW, did you sync to the laptop before? Yu can only sync to one iTunes library. If you sync to to another library the iPod will be eerased and it contents replace with what is in the iTunes library on the computer.

I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb

Hi,
I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb.
I can see the files in the home/sites folder but cant seem to be able to replace them with the site that is already in iweb?
I have just upgraded to lion on the macbook pro and was using 10.4.x on the desktop.
Is there any way to replace the files and work on the web site on the MBP?
And I dont see the library/application support/iweb folder anywhere.
Much appreciate the feedback.
Thanks

As I said earlier, iWeb does not open/import webpages.
And yes, you need the domain file. The movie demonstrates how to move them to and from the default location.
And the page explains how to open the hidden library folder in Lion. Which is also discussed in the Lion forum and extensively in this one.

I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cannot get Word, or Office or anything. Do I have to buy the new Microsoft for Mac

I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cant get Word, or Office or any of my Microsoft for Mac stuff to work. Do I have to buy a new version of all this now that the operating software is Lion instead of leopard?

Support for Office 2004 went away when Lion adandoned support for the Rosetta emulator that let Snow Leopard and earlier run old PPC programs like Office 2004 on an Intel Mac.
The first version of Office that runs natively on an Intel Mac is Office 2008. The current version is Office 2011 and should offer no problems.
Your choice of Office version depends on whether you count on Entourage as your mail client. Office 2008 was the last version to include Entourage. With Office 2011, Entourage was replaced by a Mac version of Outlook BUT you must buy the more expensive "business" version to get Outlook. It does not come with the more affordable "Home/Student" edition.

Changed battery in laptop and now when trying to open dreamweaver cs3, I get "licensing for this product has stopped working"... contact customer support (thats a laugh). So what now?

it says: You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT admin or Adobe customer support for help.
Well it seems I am only able to install this on a maximum of 3 computers so if I uninstall and reinstall I may have used up all three. What caused this in the first place?

And most licenses extend to 2 machines; not 3. Your computer's clock probably reset when you changed batteries. Is your computer's clock set to the correct date and time now?
