What is the solution for a "blue screen" on my 2009 OSX macbook.

I recieved what was the apparent "blue screen of death" in my 2009 OSX box. I tried unsuccessfully to fix the issue (while also replacing the RAM, probably could have been more scientific) and then eventually my wife decided I had no idea what I was doing. She then took the laptop to the Apple store and spent $200+ on a "new harddrive". This was great but didn't solve the problem want to know what the solution really was?!?!? Wait for my Answer.

The answer is to make sure they really "reformated" the harddrive. The drive was fine after using the secure reformat in disk utility. I wasted $200 because they "imaged" the disk and with it all the "corrupt" user files.
Seriously Apple, you have the records prove me wrong.
On the other side, I hope this helps someone else.

    The iTunes Store on my iPad is set up with all my music already. And at the very bottom it shows my apple Id username. The only place it shows the previous owners id is in the App Store...
    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • What is the cost for repair my screen?

    Help! what is the cost for repair my screen?

    Back glass repair/replacement is cheaper than front glass. If your handy back glass replacement is fairly easy and repair kits sold on-line are around $25-30. Front glass repair requires pretty much taking the entire iPhone apart and is much more complicated $100-200 depending on your location city and iPhone model.

Yes your answer is logical. but i dont see Bangladesh is listed when i am going to apps store. strange.........Apple is supporting Bengali language on iPhone/iPad, then why not apps store? also, while opening an apple id, i had to use USA billing address. cz my country wasnt listed there. Having a lot of trouble after spending this money on this phone.

  • What is the procedure for calling three screens in order?

    Hi friends,
                  Can anyone solve my problem of knowing how to call three screens.
    In one screen i will be give say emp-id and password
    it has to go to next screen have 2 radiobuttons functional and technical after selecting it has to go next screen where employee name timein and timeout will be there where i have to store employee name and timein and out in a table please its urgent can any one help with this. Creation of screens are perfect but only calling the screens in order and storing the data in a table is my problem.
    Solutions will be surely rewarded.

    hi,
    screens can be called by any one of the following methods:
    1.using a t-code
    2.from abap program
    if ur calling it from abap program, make use of CALL SCREEN
    syntax:
    CALL SCREEN <dynnr>.
    statement to call a screen and its subsequent sequence within that program. The flow logic of each screen calls dialog modules in the program that called the screen.
    When the screen sequence ends, control returns to the statement after the original CALL SCREEN statement.
    To termintate the screen sequence, use  LEAVE TO SCREEN.
    These statements exit the current screen and call the defined next screen. If the next screen is screen 0, the entire screen sequence concludes.
    please rewards points if useful.
    regards

    Hello,
    First try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    * Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If that doesn't help then please can you test in Firefox's safe mode to see if the problem still occurs?
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If the problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode then continue to follow the instructions to find the setting or add-on that is causing the problem.
    If the problem does occur in Safe Mode then I suggest doing a Firefox Reset. This will return Firefox to default settings. Your bookmarks, history etc will be saved but you will need to reinstall your addons.
    I hope this helps. Let me know!

  • All Documents Numbers, Pages & Keynote missing after update Apps, What's the solutions for that problem?

    Dear Apple Lovers,
    I am using ipad 2 Wifi + 3G 64 GB, I had updated my ipad from ios 4.1.3 to ios 7.0.1 three week ago.
    After that All aplication and all file can be opened properly well.
    The problem came after I updated Keynote, Pages & Numbers, all files could not be opened & all file name is change from alphabetical to numerical. All file content 2 type of file, 1 BuildVersionHistory and the other one is index.
    if i open the file ... spreadsheet can't be imported... the file format is invalid
    or in Pages...
    document can't be imported... the file format is invalid...
    If I want to share that document via icloud ... Can't Send Spreadsheet.. To send this spreadsheet, open it in Numbers for iOS first.
    In other case... I create a new file in Pages, Numbers or Keynote..  but all the new files can't view in Tab Apps when my ipad is connected to my mac pro via iTunes.  If I create a file using other aplication (example using DocToGo), a new file that is created can be seen directly in iTunes Tab Apps DocToGo.
    in this morning when i open Numbers all my files are disappear including new file without the reason at all, please give me the  best solution. I need your help very very urgent.... since my working datas is very very important.
    Thanks and Best Wishes,
    Asdans

    There may well be circumstances where documents in the cloud doesn't work for some people.
    I myself have projects like you do, however our circumstances may be different or I may simply organise myself in a different way.
    I tend to use documents in the cloud for working documents in progress, once they are completed they are then filed away in a more appropriate location. I do not try to use documents in the cloud for syncing my entire work history.
