What is WRONG with Acrobat (Randomly Drops Text)
I'm at the end of my rope
with Acrobat CS3. It randomly distills my contract documents with whole para
graphs missing here and there. Sometimes I can reboot and get the whole document to print, but again today, I have a contract that
didn't print completely even after a full system reboot.
Trying to distill from Word 2003. Short documents of a page are usually okay, though I have been having problems with some lines of text missing on invoices I print out of Excel. But this 5-page contract is giving me headaches.. I'll have to resort to either printing and scanning the doc back in and distilling it as a graphic to PDF, or copying and pasting the whole thing into QuarkXpress, which has a PDF distiller that is 100% reliable. I wish I could use THAT distiller with Word! I can't stand this. Why can't Acrobat distiller reliably distill documents? A contract is a serious thing.. missing paragraphs can mean serious legal trouble!!
I need an alternative, unless there is a fix for this problem.
Hmmm, I hadn't thought of converting it to Postscript first.. I
can print to Postscript printers without this missing text. It's only when I print to Acrobat that text, headers and footers are missing after the first page.
As I am not having trouble printing to Postscript devices, I doubt the hotfix would help. Anyway, there's no clickable download link, and when I request support, they only have a hotfix for Vista and XP SP4. I'm on SP2.
I can print to Postscript driver and then import the PS into Quark and print it out that way. I think that works, as Quark's PDF writer always works flawlessly and with no delays. The Acrobat distiller takes about 2 minutes to create my file, 90 seconds of which, it appears to be frozen still. Quark takes 3 seconds to do the same thing and the resulting PDF has no missing elements.

What's wrong with Acrobat compression
Why is it impossible to substantially reduce the file size in Acrobat Pro (version 9, but vitrually the same problem in all previous versions). I have a file that is 95MB after compression in Acrobat 9. Why is it that I have to open this file in Acrobat Reader, then print it to Adobe PDF in order to get the file compressed (in my case to 1.47MB). Having to do this for every file is tedious at best. And oh yes, trying to print from within Acrobat Pro to Adobe PDF renders NOTHING as a result!
To get rid of the Piece Information, when you use PDF Optimizer, select: Discard User Data > Discard private data of other applications
If you're using PDF Optimizer to reduce the size of the file in Acrobat, what settings are you using for image compression? -

What is wrong with apple, the ios7 is so messed up, half our texts aren't going through!!!
what is wrong with apple, the ios7 is so messed up, half our texts aren't going through!!!
Also our ipad charger broke after only 9 months of use!
And our young son charged stuff on his ipad on our bank card accidentally instead of his itunes card,
and we called a month ago, and the charge was never refunded!
Can anyone tell us what's going on and who can help us!
I never thought we would ever been disappointed with Apple or the products and now within a month we are ready to give up on Apple altogether it's so frustrating and disappointing!

For the charger it is covered by warranty, use it. Is it the charger or the cable?
On the stuff your son charged call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to Customer Service. But do keep in mind when you talk to them they are not responsible for accidents in purchasing that your son made. -
Hi All, Just had my iphone repaired after dropping it in a puddle but it won't now connect with iTunes. It says the iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (23). Any thoughts on what is wrong with it?

What's wrong with my Macbook? It randomly switches off. Could it be the charger?
Hi..so I've had my macbook pro for almost two years now. No problems with it, but I find that their charger cables or headphones are weird as they always break for me one way or another. My charger started breaking a year ago, still works, just the green wires at the top have come out so I taped it. The charger still works. Anyway..today I was on my macbook, it was charging and it was on about 65%, then when I moved it somehow (I was adjusting it on my legs cause I was sitting down), it switched off. The charging light went off and the charger wouldn't work. After about 10 seconds I could switch my macbook back on. When the home screen came on, my date and time have been reset and I was disconnected from my internet and my background changed. I put everything back to normal and then after unplugging the charger and playing around with it I connected it to my macbook. It worked again. Now the same thing happened again. I somehow moved it and it switched off! What's wrong with it ? Can it be because of the charger or some virus or something? I tried checking the logs and Crash Reporter but nothing came up. Can anyone help? thanks
Let's address the breaking cable issue first. To unplug any cable, you need to grasp the connector shell, and pull. It is wrong to simply grab the cable wire, and give it a yank. For the other issue, try perfoming SMC and PRAM resets.

this is not a question about 'how i do X'. is rather a 'discussion' (flame or whatever, but to defend or argue about aspects, not people) about 'what is wrong with as3' and what aspects whould be taken into consideration for updates. right now i am using as3, and since i paid for this license, i choose this tool over some alternatives and i am using it to do stuff for other people who pay me to do it, i think it can be helpful for all of us if some actions are started in the right direction. i have already posted about 'all people in adobe are dumbasses that do not know how to make a scripting tool and are messing up my work', but i was pissed at the time (i still am pissed) but i believe this is not the right aproach. instead, if this goes to the right people in adobe, we all may get something in the future, like better and easier todo apps and web presentations.
pre: not only about the as3 specification, but COMPLY with the specification that you set. for example, some time ago there were problems with matrix transforms. this was corrected later with a patch. but this means it is not even doing what is is supposed to do
1. scriptable masks and movement, sprites and child sprites: there is a sprite with a mask, the mask is a shape drawn via script, something like
somemask=new shape();
somemask.graphics.beginfill();
(...etc)
somesprite.mask=somemask;
just like that. now add some child sprites to 'somesprite', and make 'somesprite' move, scale and rotate. there you will have something like a kaleidoscope, but not what you expected to do with your script. as the child sprites move in the parent mask, you will see that the child sprites appear or dissapear kind of randomly, and if the child sprites are textfields, it may be that the text is rendered outside the mask, or partially rendered outside the mask (as in only part of the text), rendered with the wrongf rotation or in the wrong place. some child sprites are clipped correctly, some dissapear totally when only a part should dissapear (clipped) etc.
way around: have not tried it yet, but i have the impression that bitmaps have different criteria for clipping, so i am thinking of trying this: appli an empty filter (a filter with params so it does not have any effect on the sprite or in the textfield) so the sprite is rendered as bitmap before doing anything else with it. as i said, i have not done it yet, but it may be a way around this problem, to avoid all this inconsistency with clipping
1-b. inconsistency between hierarchy and coordinates, specially masks: you apply a mask to a sprite, yet the sprite has a set of coordinates (so 'x' in the sprite means an x relative to its container), yet the mask applied to the very same sprite, as another reference as reference for coordinates (like the stage)
2. painting via script: in any other languaje, in any other situation, something like:
beginFill(params);
(...stuff 1)
endFill();
beginFill(params);
(...stuff 2)
endFill();
(...etc)
means: render region of block 1, then render region of block 2 etc, and no matter what, it should be consistent, since there is noplace for ambiguity. if you read it, you may think what that means, even if you dont run it you may have an idea of the picture you want to draw, but not with as3. as3 somehow manages to screw something that simple, and mixes all the blocks, and somehow uses the boundaries of one block as boundaries for other block. is like all blocks are dumped into whatever, and then uses all lines defined into it as boundaries for a unique block. it changes all boundaries and generates inconsistency between what is shown and redraw regions of the resulting picture, like lines that go to the end of the screen and then dont go away in the next frames, even tough the beginfill endfill block should prevent it
3. event flow: i dont know what was the policy behind as3 event flow design. it is in no way similar or an extension to previous event flow, neither with any event flow in any other plattform. i dont know how most people start with as3; in my case, i unpacked, installed and when i tried to do something with what i already knew i could not, so i started reading the as3 docs, and since is like 800 pages long, i just read the basics and the rest i would 'wing it'. in the part of the event flow, there was something about bubbling and stuff, it was not clear at all and when i tried to do what is was said in the documentation (like preventing events to 'bubble', as is called in the documentation), i could not see any effect but i could see it was a mess. flash is not the only thing out there to work with pictures or to work with mouse events, but is the only one that deals with things like 'target' and 'currentTarget'. my first experience on needing this was when i was dealing with my own event handlers (so the only thing that had control over mouse was the stage, and i would admin everything via script). there were events generated everywhere, the stage got events that were not genrated directly over the stage, but got there not with stage coordinates but the coordinates relative to the sprite that generated the event. so if i hover the mopuse over the stage, and the stage has some things on it how does it work? i get multiple event calls, like it was hovering multiple times over the stage in a single frame, but in each call with different coordinates? and what if i set all child sprites as mouseenabled=false or compare like 'if (event.target != event.currenttarget)', what if i move the mouse over a child, does it prevent the move mouse event at all? or does it filter only the event call with only stage coordinates? in my case, every time i move over another clip (with mouseenabled = true), the stage gets it as 'mouse up', even tough there was never a mouse release, what the hell? do even the people at adobe know how to handle events with their own tool when they require it? why does an event 'bubble' when i have not specifically tell it to do it? mi thought is that this event flow was very poorly conceived, and tough the intention may have been that there were different cases and it shopuld cover all cases, they actually introduced new problems that were not present in traditional ways to handle it, and it is neither the easier way to handle things, and this way, a very simple problem turns into a very ugly thing because it must handle things that were not neccesary to handle, or were implicit in other situations.
4. legacy: since as3, all interaction is different, and if you want to do things in the new plattform, using the new features, what you already knew just goes to the garbage can. when a new tool arrives, it should be an extension to previous tools (which is a reason to update instead of just buying a new tool from a different vendor). if everything i had or knew just means nothing from now on, then i can not say 'i know flash script', and my previous knowledge gives me no advantage when aproaching the new version. as3 is a new aproach that requires doc reading and stuff, even if you knew something about previous as specifications or other oo languajes. if you decide to change things from now on, like the things mentioned in this post, instead of just throwing away everything the users alerady knew about the tool, do like in java releases, they mark some things as 'deprecated', they keep working as they should, give a warning, but also a message saying this feature is deprecated, we suggest you use this library instead.
5. lack of previous functionality: if you 'update' something, it meand all previos functionality is still there (probably improved, but not with bugs if it was working fine), plus something else. now it seems backwards, there are some things that could be done in previous versions but not in this one, like 'duplicatemovieclip'
6. inconsistency with scripting/programming paradigms: (ok, fancy work, but fits perfectly here): as3 proposed ways to handle things, but the people who designed it got 'too creative', and they did something that is not consistent neither with previous versions of as or with other languajes. the documentations is full of things like 'it looks like x languaje or languaje family, but instead of using XXX word, you must use YYY'. great, what is this? namespaces 'work like', but 'differently' for example from java, .net, .c. its got the idea that a namespace means a grouped functionality but there are rules about where should be placed the file (ok, java has this also, .net takes care of it automatically if all files are registered in the project), but what you got is a mess that 'if you know other languajes you got the general idea, but nonetheless, even if you knew this or previosu versions of as, you still have to read whatever we decided arbitrarily just to be different'. namespaces, event handling, vars definition which is not like previous scripting neither like fully typed languajes.. is just a mess.
7. lack of scripting and graphics integration: unlike flash and adobe tools that just got on the graphics side leaving all the scripting integratuion apart, most tools from other vendors integrate very well interacton with what is on the screen. the script editor: very poor. autocompletion? a drop down list that does not heklp at all, appears in the wrong places, and when you need it to go, it does not go (so if i want to move away from the uncalled drop down list, i have to click somewhere else, making developement slowewr instead of helping, so the drop down list does not capture all events when i dont want to). in other ides you double click somewhere and it will go to the part of code relevant to that event or whatever. for example microsoft tools, ok i am antimicrosoft, and one of the reasons was that when windows 95 got to market proposing itself as the ONLY pc os you could use if you wanted to keep useing the apps you already had, it was a lousy product full of flaws but you had to keep using it because you had no choice. what is so different from what is happening with flash just now? yet the ide of c# is awesome, works very well and seems reliable.
adobe people: not all user are designers that just make pretty pictures. if it is not intended for scripting then why is it there. and if there are corrections to be done, they should patch all versions, not only the last one. previous version users also paid for their versions.Well, there is no point in arguing.
I personally believe AS3 does exactly what it promises to do within limits (read: reasonable limits) of ECMA type of language. And sometimes it doesn’t do what we expect it to for it cannot possibly emulate everyone’s thinking process. The task, I guess, is to learn to think in terms of AS3 – not to try to make AS3 think like us. No language covers all the grounds. And no, it is not Java - with no negative or positive connotation. It is what it is. Period. I just hope that AS5 will be more Java like.
You are right about the fact that it is not necessary to know all the aspects of language in order to perform the majority of tasks. But it is paramount to have a clear idea about such fundamental concepts as display list model and events. For instance, depth swap has no meaning in terms of AS3 because display list object stacking is controlled automatically and there is no need for all these jumping through hoops one has to perform in order to control depth in AS2. There no more gaps in depths and one always know where to find things.
Similarly, there is no point in having duplicateMovieClip method. More conventional OOP ways of object instantiation accomplishes just that and much more. Just because OOP object instantiation needs to be learned doesn’t mean past hacks have place in modern times. duplicateMovieClip is a horse carriage standing next to SUV. What one should choose to travel?
Events are implemented to the tee in the context of ECMA specifications. I consider Events model as very solid, it works great (exactly as expected) and never failed me. True, it takes time to get used to it. But what doesn’t?
By the way, speaking about events, contrary to believe in Adobe’s inconsideration to their following. Events are implemented with weakly reference set to false although it would be better to have it set to true. I think this is because there are smart and considerate people out there who knew how difficult it would be for programming novices to deal with lost listeners.
I think AS3 is million times better than AS2. And one of the reasons it came out this way is that Adobe made a very brave and wise decision to break totally loose from AS2’s inherent crap. They have created a totally new and very solid language. If they had tried to make it backward compatible – it would be a huge screw up, similar to how our friends at Microsoft are prostituting VB and VBA – extremely irritating approach IMHO.
Also, Flash legacy issues shouldn’t be overlooked. Flash did not start as a platform for programmers. Entire timeline concept in many ways is not compatible with the best OOP practices and advancements. I think for anyone who is used to writing classes the very fact of coding on timeline sounds awkward. It feels like a hack (and AS2 IS a pile of hacks) – the same things can be nicely packaged into classes and scale indefinitely. As such I wouldn’t expect Adobe to waste time on hacking timeline concept issues by making smarter editor. They have made a new one – FlexBuilder – instead. Serious programmers realize very soon that Flash IDE is not for developing industrial strength applications anyway. So, why bother with channeling great minds into polishing path to the dead end?
I would like to state that all this is coming form a person who knew Flash when there was no AS at all. And I applaud every new generation of this wonderful tool.
I believe Adobe does a great job making transition from timeline paradigm to total OOP venue as smooth as possible. And no, they don’t leave their devoted followers behind contrary to many claims. They are working on making developing Flash applications as easy as possible for people of all walks. Welcome Catalyst!
Of course there is not enough information about AS3 capabilities and features. But, on the other hand, I don’t know any area of human kind activities that does. -
What is wrong with my Macbook Pro? (distorted screen, beeping, slow)
I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro (13-inch) that I got from Best Buy. It worked perfectly fine for a year, but then went crazy.
First, it started shutting down here and there, and icons bounced a lot in the dock. Then, one day, I googled something and it froze, then flashed a strip of multicolored barcode-like lines. So, I shut it down and it overheated then began to beep 3 times and flash a light.
I brought it in and they just wiped the hard drive. Then, it happened again while I was watching a video only a short time later. I was going to re-seat the RAM myself but the inside of the computer looked all messed up. I took it in and they gave me a new LCD but it has a dead pixel now. It worked fine for 1 month after that.
Then, I was using the laptop on my bed and it shut off randomly a couple of times while I was on Facebook and started beeping. I rebooted it and tried to fix it but it happened again the next day. I brought it back to Best Buy and they said it was hot and sold me a $20 cooling pad.
That worked for a few days, then I was watching TV online and it happened again. I brought it back to Best Buy and they replaced the RAM. Now, I was watching something online and it happened yet again. I was able to reboot and it worked okay now for a couple of hours but it did freeze again and I had to shut it down.
Everytime I go to Best Buy, they tell me "If we have this issue 1 more time, we will replace your computer." But, then, they say the same thing every time and that it's their policy. I have paid for Office now and only have 1 download left. Also, this is ridiculous because I'm a student and I've had my Mac gone for 2 weeks at a time at least 3 or 4 times. When this happens, I get stuck using my iPad and can't use flash so I've spent tons of money of apps for flash and other things to make my iPad functional.
Can somebody just tell me what's wrong with it? It "passes the hardware test" every time and the Geek Squad keeps asking me stupid questions like "Did you check your internet connection and reset your modem?" When I asked them the first time to do a PRAM test, they didn't know what that was and asked me to go on iTunes or clear my cache or something like that.
I have had a bad experience with them altogether. I got my Macbook for $500 because I had a PC before that I paid $700 for and it eventually broke. They were unable to repair that one because the hard drive had failed, although they had previously been convinced that I needed to uninstall my Norton to fix that problem.
Sorry if I'm ranting, but my Macbook is like a child to me (not to sound weird) and I'm sick of this problem. It's working fine at the moment but I know this will happen again randomly like always.If you're able to boot, launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and select the most recent panic log under "System Diagnostic Reports." Post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID” and "Kernel UUID," two long strings of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report. Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items. -

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

I can't figure out what's wrong with this code
First i want this program to allow me to enter a number with the EasyReader class and depending on the number entered it will show that specific line of this peom:
One two buckle your shoe
Three four shut the door
Five six pick up sticks
Seven eight lay them straight
Nine ten this is the end.
The error message i got was an illegal start of expression. I can't figure out why it is giving me this error because i have if (n = 1) || (n = 2) statements. My code is:
public class PoemSeventeen
public static void main(String[] args)
EasyReader console = new EasyReader();
System.out.println("Enter a number for the poem (0 to quit): ");
int n = console.readInt();
if (n = 1) || (n = 2)
System.out.println("One, two, buckle your shoe");
else if (n = 3) || (n = 4)
System.out.println("Three, four, shut the door");
else if (n = 5) || (n = 6)
System.out.println("Five, six, pick up sticks");
else if (n = 7) || (n = 8)
System.out.println("Seven, eight, lay them straight");
else if (n = 9) || (n = 10)
System.out.println("Nine, ten, this is the end");
else if (n = 0)
System.out.println("You may exit now");
else
System.out.println("Put in a number between 0 and 10");
I messed around with a few other thing because i had some weird errors before but now i have narrowed it down to just this 1 error.

What's wrong with this function
What's wrong with this Function(PL/SQL) in this formaula column definition in Reports 6i
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;
begin
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') into curr_date from dual;
return(curr_date);
end;
I get the following error in compiling
REP-1401. 'currdateformula'.Fatal PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01843 not a valid month.
The SQL select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual; worked well in SQL Plus prompt.
I got a clean compile when i use just sysdate in the function (see below).
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;
begin
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
return(curr_date);
end;
Appreciate your help
Raja Lakshmihello,
what you are trying to do :
fetch the current date and return it as the result of the formula-column.
what you are actually doing :
fetch the current date, convert it to text, assign this text to a date-variable which causes an implicit type-conversion.
in your case you create a date-string with the format dd-mm-yyyy. the implicit conversion then tries to convert this string back to date using the NLS settings of your session. depending on your NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT this might work, if your session-date-format is dd-mm-yyyy which obviously it is NOT as you get the error.
what you should do :
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
this fetches the sysdate and stores it in your date-variable. there is no type conversion needed what so ever.

What's wrong with the regular expression?
Hi all,
For the life of me I can not figure out what is wrong with this regular expression
.*\bA specific phrase\.\b.*
This is just an example the actual phrase can be an specific phrase. My problem comes when the specific phrase ends in a period. I've escaped the period but it still gives me an error. The only time I don't get an error is when I take off the end boundry character which will not suffice as a solution. I need to be able to capture all the text before and after said phrase. If the phrase doesn't have a period it would look like this...
.*\bA specific phrase\b.*
which works fine. So what is it about the \.\b combination that is not matching?
I've been banging my head on this for a while and I'm getting nowhere.
The application highlights text that comes from a server. The user builds custom highlights that have some options. Highlight entire line, match partial word, and ignore case. The code that builds my pattern is here
String strHighlight = _strHighlight;
strHighlight = strHighlight.replaceAll("\\*", "\\\\*");
strHighlight = strHighlight.replaceAll("\\.", "\\\\.");
String strPattern = strHighlight;
if(_bEntireParagraph)
if(_bPartialWord)
strPattern = ".*" + strHighlight + ".*";
else
strPattern = ".*\\b" + strHighlight + "\\b.*";
else
if(_bPartialWord)
strPattern = strHighlight;
else
strPattern = "\\b" + strHighlight + "\\b";
if(_bIgnoreCase)
_patHighlight = Pattern.compile(strPattern, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
else
_patHighlight = Pattern.compile(strPattern);So for example I matching the phrase: The dog ate the cat. And that phrase came over in the following text: Look there's a dog. The dog ate the cat. "Oh my!"
And my user has the entire line and ignore case options selected then my regex woud look like this: .*\bThe dog ate the cat\b.*
That should get highlighted, but for some reason it doesn't. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the regex read as follows:
any characters
word boundry
The dog ate the cat[period]
word boundry
any characters until newline.
Any help will be much appreciatedA word boundary (in the context of regexes) is a position that is either followed by a word character and not preceded by one (start of word) or preceded by a word character and not followed by one (end of word). A word character is defined as a letter, a digit, or an underscore. Since a period is not a word character, the only way the position following it could be a word boundary is if the next character is a letter, digit or underscore. But a sentence-ending period is always followed by whitespace, if anything, so it makes no sense to look for a word boundary there. I think, instead of \b, you should use negative lookarounds, like so: strPattern = ".*(?<!\\w)" + strHighlight + "(?!\\w).*";

What is wrong with my Macbook?
I dropped my macbook (2007 model) and the screen is so cracked that I can not see anything. I got a mini-dvi - vga cord and plugged it into a monitor, but when i turn it on, it just goes to the mac background, and will not show the login screen. What is wrong with it?
it's putting the monitor as second display, so the login screen (i'm guessing) is only displaying on the first—main—screen, the the one that is cracked.
restart the macbook and don't touch anything. when the background appears on the secondary monitor, you know the login screen must be up on the first monitor. so type in your username, hit TAB once, then your password.
you should be able to log in now. then follow these instructions:
(bare in mind i'm running 10.6.8)
1) press ALT+F2 to open up displays in system preferences.
2) you should be able to see a dialog open up in the secondary monitor
3) if this has a "Gather Windows" button, press it
4) if step 3) works, you should be able to switch around the main displays, or turn on mirror mode, or whatever
