what is a mackeeper? It started showing on my screen last week. My laptop is only 2 months old. It is telling me to download it but I went online and it says that this is a malware.. is it? And why do I need it?

Downloading Mackeeper is like giving your MBP a STD.  You do not need it and will be of no value to you.  They promise much and give you grief.  Spare yourself.  Anything thing that they claim, you can do better, FOR FREE!

    Just to make sure, try a different set of cables. If the problem persists, have the unit replaced by Apple.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • I suddenly have blue and black vertical lines on my screen. This computer is only 3 months old. What can I do?

    Starting a few weeks ago I got a cluster of blue and black lines at the bottom righthand corner of my screen. It was frustrating and annoying but I ignored it. Now there is another one closer to the top lefthand side. It's very frustrating as this computer is only 3 months old!! please help!

    Take a picture if the problem just in case the aberration does not show in the presence of the technicians.

    Please do not recommend OmniDiskSweeper without the appropriate caution.
    OmniDiskSweeper is a useful utiity, but it needs to be handled with care. You will see many large files and directories which you will not understand the purpose of and the deletion of which will totally wreck your system.
    Use ODS by all means, but do not delete ANYTHING that is not a file you have personally created and only if you are sure you know what it is. Also backup your disk before going off to delete things which in the heat of the moment to free up space you think are not worth keeping, but which you may later regret not having.
    The precautions are noted on the download site, which are there for people to read. Otherwise I do not see my post as mentioning deleting a single file, only (as per the instructions provided by the Developer's) to check where the large files were residing on the drive. Please do not add information to a post that was not included in the first place.

    Hello Jesslocko,
    Before following the iPad Restore process make sure you have updated version of iTunes installed on your computer, to check that Open iTunes on your computer click on Help and then check for updates ( If there is any updates available then Install it ) and If you do not have iTunes Installed or if you want to directly update the version of your iTunes then Download and Install iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    1. Make sure your device (iPad) is unplugged (Disconnected) from your computer (this should be the computer that you use to sync your iPad or you can use any other computer with iTunes installed in it). You can leave the USB cable connected to your iPad though.
    2. Turn off your iPad. Press and hold the power button on the top edge until a slider appears. Slide it from left to right to power off your device. If the slider doesn't appear (because your iOS device has frozen up) then hold the power and Home buttons down until the iPhone or iPad turns off.
    3. Ensure your device has a decent amount of charge. Leave it plugged in to the mains for 10 minutes or so if you see the flat battery icon. (iPad low battery)
    4. Hold down the Home button (the round button at the bottom of your iPad screen) and connect the other end of USB cable to the computer this should cause your iPhone or iPad to turn on. Keep holding the Home button until you see the iTunes and USB cable images on your iPad screen, then release the button.(iPad recovery mode)
    5. In iTunes (launch the application if it isn't running on your Computer), you should see a message saying an iPad has been found in recovery mode.
    6. Click OK and then click on Restore to bring your iPad to Factory settings

  • IMAC Won't start up its only 6 months old so I am frustrated.

    This is the second time it has done this, the first time it froze when I clicked yes to and update, when I tried to turn it back on I got nothing but 3 beeps, so I got on my daughters PC and trouble shot the MAC finally got it back up and thought it was doing great. But the other day when I got up it was shut down (do not think there was a power outage, saw no evidence of one on other electronics)Any way when I turn it on the fans start it makes the noise like it is starting up then it starts the 3 beeps in a row pause 3 beeps again. I again got on my daughters netbook and tried to trouble shoot, but this time nothing is working. Any advise? Or is anyone else having this problem. I can't believe I am having problems with it already. This is my first MAC and I was so excited to get it, but now not so sure.

    I would use the procedure to reset SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    which is basically disconnecting ALL cables and power, and reconnecting it following a precise procedure. When you reconnect the power cord, if you have been using a crowded or old power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to the wall outlet, at least initially. Then power it up. If that allows it to start up properly, connect just your keyboard/mouse. Use it that way for a while. You should also use this procedure to reset PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    If all is well, you can add your peripheral (USB/FireWire) devices one by one. If the problem recurs at some point, check the possibility that the last device you added is causing this problem.
    NOTE: After the SMC reset procedure, if the iMac still does not start up properly, even with nothing except the power cord connected, you should have it looked at by a technician at an Apple Store or Apple-certified shop. If it's only six months old, it still covered by the one-year warranty.

  • IMac acting strange now won't start only 3 months old

    This has just happened. Whilst doing some encoding a message suddenly appeared saying I had to restart. Everything had sort of froze. So I restart and get to the apple logo but then a grey screen comes down saying restart again and big lines of code appear.
    Straight away booked in for genius appointment but that's not till wednesday. Anyone know what's happened?it's a 24" iMac. 4 g ram. Only 4 months old.
    Before this I've noticed other little things like apps not responding and the famous beachball. Not to good for a £1200 mac!!!

    Anyone know what's happened?
    There would be no way anyone here would know.

    Technology is far from perfect. Then take it in for warranty repair.

  • . It is only 2 months old and never been dropped or near moisture. I've tried holding down both buttons but it remains. It is there regardless of what  app I'm in.

    .i have an iPad air and it has a thin line across the screen. It is only 2 months old and never been dropped or near moisture. I've tried holding down both buttons but it remains. It is there regardless of what  app I'm in. Do I need to take it back to Apple?

    Last night my computer started showing grey screen and a picture of the Apply logo, when I went to the OS C utilities screen it sad that part of my hard drive is bad how did that I happened I have had the computer less than 6 months. And how do I format it.

    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.  Select the HDD on the left column, select 'First Aid' and engage 'Verify Disk' and 'Repair disk'.  If indicated, engage 'Permissions'.  See if that solves your HDD problem.

  • My ipad2 has stopped charging. Have replaced cable and adaptor without any help. Looks the internal dock connector has got damaged. What do i do? Its only 18 months old.

    My ipad 2 is 18 months old and has stopped charging. Have reolaced cable and adaptor without any help. Looks internal dock connector has got damaged.  What is the solution.

    It'll be an out of warranty replacement since accidental damage isnt' covered by the factory warranty.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/
    contact support and make an appointment at your local apple store. The out of warranty replacement fee for an iPad 2 starts at 249 and goes up. So another option for you may be if your money is better invested in a new  device that will have a longer life.
