Prepare yourself for the $269 fee for Out-Of-Warranty replacement. (Or the $79 fee if you have AppleCare Plus.)

  • Re:all of a sudden when i was on internet and the screen became darker,what can i do?Please help!!!

    Hello! I was on the internet when the screen suddenly became darker.I can type words and retun to the start page of my ipad2 but I cannot use google either safari.I cheked my connection to the internet and it was fine.Also I when Itouch the screen while I am on the internet nothing happens!!!What happened and what can Ido to fix this?My ipad2 is new i have used it only a few times.Please Help I am not an expert!!!Thank you very much for your time!

    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears - slide to the right to shut off. To power up again, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Try Safari again.
    You can reset your network settings. Go to Settings>General>reset Network Settings. Restart the iPad as described above, go to Settings>WiFi>select Your Network Name and then enter your password and see if you can connect to the internet.
    You can also close open apps. Double tap the home button and your recent apps appear in the task bar. Tap and hold down on one of the app icons until they all begin to wiggle. Then tap the minus signs in the left corner of all of the apps to close them. Tap the screen outside of the task bar. Restart the iPad like I described above.
    You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons - try Safari again.

  • My MacBook won't turn on. When I try, it makes electronic tones and the screen remains dark. What do I do?

    This morning I found my MacBook screen was dark, no response. The power light was on, it's been plugged in and that seems to be working. I powered it down and when I hit power to turn it back on it made an electronic pattern of tones.  After that...nothing. Dark screen, power light on. I'd love some advice.

    Try this.
    Erase and Reinstall OS X
    Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
    Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
    Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
    Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
    Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
    Select the Erase tab.
    Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
    After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
    Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
    Follow the instructions.
    I hope I solved your question.

  • WHAT SHOULD I DO MORE TO GET  MY FILES BACK IN THE FCP FORMAT ?

    A ROUND-ABOUT PROBLEM
    RECENTLY I GRADUATED FROM. FCE AND FCE HD. I DECIDED TO INSTALL FCP 5. I HAVE POWER BOOK G4 V10.4.8, PROCESSOR 1.5 GHZ PC SDRAM WITH INTERNAL MEM 80 DISK STORAGE AND 1 GB DDR SDRAM. I ALSO HAVE AN EXTERNAL LaCIE WITH 200 CAPACITY.
    IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING FCP, THE STUPID THING I DID WAS TO CHANGE NAME OF THE MEDIA FILE, AND THIS ACTION CAUSED ALL MY FILES GO OFFLINE. THE OPTIONS GIVEN TO ME BY THE RECONNECT FILLES TABLE BOX TO GET BACK MY FILES ARE:I TRIED TO USE BOTH BUT WITH NO SUCCESS.
    I WOULD BE GRATGEFUL TO ANY ONES WHO COULD HELP ME RECOVER MY FILES WITHOUT GOING INTO THE PAIN OF CAPTURING THEM FROM TAPE.
    FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE THE PATIENCE PLEASE READ MOR BELOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
    WHEN I TRY I GET A WARNING WHICH SAYS:
    THE FILE FORMAT OF THIS PROJECT IS FROM AN EARLIER VERSION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO UPDATE THIS PROJECT?
    NOTE: ONCE SAVED, THIS FILE CANNOT BE OPENED BY PREVIOUS VERSION. TO AVOID OVERWRITING THE ORIGINAL PROJECT FILE , YOU CAN CHOOSE SAVE PROJECT AS FROM THE FILE MENU WHEN PROJECT UPDATING IS COMPLET
    WHEN I SAY YES, ANOTHER BOX APPEARS: UPDATE PROJECT. IT SAYS THE FOLLOWING:
    THIS PROJECT CONTAINS ONE OR MORE SEQUENCES WHICH THIS VERSION OF FINAL PRODUCT PRO CAN RENDER WITH MOTION TAP QUALITY(NAMELY SCALIBG, ROTATION, ETC). PLEASE CHOSE A SCALING QUALITY TO USE (“FASTEST” RECOMMENDED IS THE QUALITY LEVEL 4.5.
    NEW QUALIT Y CHICKED INSIDE THE BOX ARE: BEST, NORMAL, FASTEST OR LINEAR . THE UNCHECKED LITTLE BOX READS: REMOVE EXISTING FILES (THIS ACTION IN NOT UNDOABLE
    WHEN I PRESS OK “OFFLINE FILES” BOX APPEARS AND SAYS:
    SOME OF THE MEDIA OF YOUR PROJECT REFERENCES EITHER CHANGED, MOVED, OR GONE AWAY.YOU CAN EITHER RECONNECT THESE FILES , OR CONTINUE WITH THEM BEING OFFLINE. BELOW THIS SAYS AS FOLLOWS:
    FORGET FILES. BELOW THAT THERE IS AN UNCHED BOX WHICH SAYS: MEDIA FILES 69 OFFLINE
    WHEN I PRESS CONNECT INSTEAD OF CONTINUE , THE RECONNECT FILLES BOX OPENS AND 69 OFFLINES FILES APPEAR. IN THIS RECONNECT FILES BOX THERE ARE 2 SECTIONS
    THE 1ST SECTION HAS A LITTLE UNCHECKED SKIP FILE BOX AND ANOTHER LITTLE CHECKED BOX WHICH READS: SEARCH SINGLE LOCATION. WHEN I OPEN IT TWO OPTIONS ARE GIVEN AS FOLLOWS:
    MACINTOSH HD: USERS WITH MY NAME AND DOCUMENT
    LaCILE:FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS; AUTO SAVE VAULT WITH THE TITLE OF MY FILE
    WHEN I PRESS RECONNECT I GET THE FALLOWING PATH :
    MY NAME.>MACINTOSH HD >APTS FCT 5 >GRAY FILES
    WHEN I CHANGE THE SHOW BOX TO REVEAL FILES .I GET OFFLINE
    WHEN I ADD RESEACH, IT TAKES ME TO THE A CHOOSE A FOLDER WITH THE FOLLOWING PATH:
    MY NAME>LACIE DISK>FINAL CUT DOCUMENT >FOLDER >GRAY FILES WHICH CANNOT BE RVEALD., AND WHICH I CANNOT CHOOSE. IT GOES ON AND ON IN A CIRCLE WITHOUT HELPING ME TO GET MY FILES IN FCP FORMQAT.
    WHAT SHOULD I DO MORE TO GET MY FILES BACK IN THE FCP FORMAT WITHOUT BEING STUCK TO OFFLINE FILES FOR EVER? YOUR STEP BY STEP TO WALK ME THROUGH TO REESTABLISH MY FILES WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

    A round-about problem
    I thank you all for your very kind replies. I have rewritten my issue in lower case as suggested by all of you. I hope I will be helped.
    Recently, I thought I had graduated from final cut express and final cut express HD when . I decided to install final cut pro. Perhaps a wishfull thinking!
    I have a power book g4 v 10.4.8, processor 1.5 ghz sdram with internal memory of 80 storage disk and 1 gb ddr sdram. I also have an external LaCie with a 200 storage capacity.
    In the process of installing final cut pro, I stupidly changed the name of the media file. Maybe this action caused all my clips, video and audio, files go offline. The options given to me by the Reconnect Files Table , to get my files back, are : Single Search Location and Search.
    I tried and tried both with no success. I would be grateful to any ones who might be able to help me to recover my clips without going through the pain of recapturing them from the tape. There are several tapes to be recaptured.
    Now, for those of you who may have the patience, please read more below to see what I have gone through.
    When I try to get to the files, I get the first warning: “The file of this project is from an earlier version. Would like to update this project?” And then it continues: “Note, once saved, this file cannot be opened by previous version. To avoid overwriting the original project file , you can choose Save Project As from the File Menue when the project updating is complete”. (It was at this point where I changed the files names formatted by the previous versions).
    When I say Yes, another box appears: Update Project. It reads as follows:
    “This project contains one or more sequences which this version of Final Cut Pro can render with Motion Tap (i.e. scalable, rotation, etc). Please choose a scalable quality (“fastest” recommended is the quality level 4.5. New Quality checked inside the little Box are: Best. Normal Fastest or linear." I choose Normal. The unchecked little Box reads: "Remove existing files ( this action is not undoable, it says”.
    (By the way, in my project no sequences, have been set up as yet; they are all clips inside the bins with red slash in all clips).
    When I press OK, “Offline Clips” Box opens and says the following:
    “Some of the media of your project references either changed, moved, or gone away. You can either Reconnect these files, or Continue with them being Offline”. Below this it continues:
    “Forget files.” Below that there is an unchecked box which says: “Media Files 69 Offline”.
    When I press Connect instead of Continue, the Reconnect Files Box opens with 69 Offline files. In this Reconnect Files Box there are two sections’
    The first section has a little unchecked Skip Files Box and another little checked Box which reads: “Search Single Location”.
    When I open it, two paths are given to recover my files:
    My name>LaCie> Final Cut Document>Folder>Gray files which cannot be revealed, and which I cannot open. I go on and onl ike a checken without a head in a circle without being able to get to the files off Offline.
    I have the same problem with the second path: My name>Macintosh HD>FCP 5>gray files.
    What should I do more to get my clip files back in the FCP format without being stuck to Offline files for ever?
    I am new to this field and enjoy what I am doing. I am old, and sometime my head goes off. Your expert step by step walking me through to reestablish my file linkage with Media would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all and have a nice holiday. Faruk Sabet

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

    These are user-to-user forums, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
    Apple and/or iTunes support can't locate it for you, only you can potentially locate it via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • What should i do with my ipad because it fell down and the screen cracked but its still functioning

    what should i do with my ipad because it fell down and the screen cracked but its still functioning

    Up to you whether you want to get it serviced. If you don't, I'd suggest putting on a screen protector to help hold the screen together and try to prevent further damage. It's likely that it will eventually fail at some point, but you could get lucky and have it continue to work for quite some time.
    If you decide you want to get it serviced, Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    Regards.
