When I start AEc6 on my Mac Pro laptop my screen turns black? Any fix?

You have a graphics driver problem or even a hardware defect.

Im using my Ipad 2 and sometimes when I try to look a photo on facebook te screen turns black

Hey !
I was using my Ipad normally when I tried to look some photos on facebook and suddenly the screen turns black, but everything else works good, i just need to press "back button " and I can turn to Facebook and the screen looks normal.
I would really appreaciate if you can help me.
Regards

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have a solution for your problem, it took a little investigating and work to get FaceTime for Mac working. Here's what I did: Go to the folder /Applications then right click on FaceTime.app go into /Contents/LaunchAgents and look for two files "com.apple.imagent.plist" and "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" and copy them into your /Home/yourusername/Library/LaunchAgents. If you can't find "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" do a Google search for it and download it, the name will be "com.apple.apsd.plist.txt", do a cmd-I on it and rename it "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" put this file in the same folder as "com.imagent.plist", launch FaceTime and if your webcam lights up, your good to go.
Hope this helps.

Brand new mac pro has blank screen on start up...why? Can here instructions but can't see

I hae a brand new mac pro and the screen is blank during start up. ***...I can here instructions but can't see screen.

That Mac comes with 90 days free phone support from trained Applecare reps. You should take advantage of it.
Another alternative is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them put their hands on it.
Be sure you do something before your 14-day return/exchange (if you bought it direct from Apple) expires, or you may face a 3 to 5 day repair cycle.
Shine a bright light at the screen when it has booted up.
¿ Is the picture "there" but not lit up? that could be a backlight failure.
The F2 key is used to turn up the brightness, if it accidentally got turned down low.

I have a mac pro, and today i turned it on and all i get is the white power light come s on and starts flashing, my computer does not boot up can anybody help?

why doesn t my mac pro boot up, i turned it on today and all i get is the white power light on the front of the computer starts flashing, does any body know about this problem?

Which model of Mac Pro do you own?
Check Crucial.com for their opinion, but there are cheaper ways to go.

When I power up my 2008 Mac Pro I get the "welcome", chime, fan goes on, a light goes on on my Apple monitor and then nothing - black screen. Whats going on?

When I power up my 2008 Mac Pro I get the "welcome chime", fan comes on, a light comes on on my Apple moniter and then nothing - black screen. What,s going on?

what you describe as the "welcome chime" is the indicator that your Mac has passed the Power-On Self test, and if a suitable source of software can be found, booting is likely.
If the screen stays dark, the most likely explanation is a graphics card failure. But it could also be caused by a backlight failure in the LCD, so be sure you try shining a bright light at the screen to be check whether the picture is there, but just not illuminated.
Graphics card failure will end the boot-up process in some cases, and not have an impact in others. Two external indications you can use when your display is not working are: The Caps Lock key, which is under the control of Mac OS X, and the Control-Eject dialog box shown below. Note that the default is Shutdown, so a Mac that shuts down in response to Control-Eject followed by Return is working fine.

I am running 10.5.8 on my 17" mac pro laptop and using Firefox 3.6.17, I have tried on several occasions to install ver 4 and when I drag icon onto my applications folder it tells me I have a newer version already there. What is going on?

I am running system 10.5.8 on my 17" mac pro laptop and using Firefox 3.6.17, I have tried on several occasions to install your new version 4 and when I drag icon onto my applications folder it tells me I have a newer version already there (which is now the 3.6.17). What is going on?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

When will I have thunderbolt for Mac Pro?

I have Quad MacBook w/ Thunderbolt, But When will they release a Mac Pro with Thunderbolt? Anyone have any idea or heard any rumors?
Thanks Bobby

Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about Thunderbolt at this point. Yes, it has amazing potential, but there's hardly any devices that use it. Even USB 3.0 isn't really taking off. Let the people who just purchased the hardware for it be the guinea pigs. A lot may depend if the Windows market invests in the tech. It's going to be much more difficult to sell an external HD that only connects to macs.
For now, USB 2.0 works fine (Firewire if doing video editing) and even my internal Blu-ray burner works using a SATA cable. The transfer rate for both is quite acceptible for me.
I DO wonder if a plug-in card would be possible. I'm not tech savy, so not sure if the PCI Express slots supports that speed.

Moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.

MAC PRO LAPTOP FRIED AFTER INSTALLING SNOW LEOPARD U/G

I am REALLY REALLY upset. I bought my daughter a top-of-the-line Mac Pro laptop in 2007. All together, with a 3-year extended warranty, it cost me $3,000!!
Because she kept getting messages that she needed to upgrade her operating system, she purchased the Snow Leopard upgrade two weeks ago and installed it.
Well, her laptop is now fried - just a week or so after installing the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 upgrade!!!!!
She took it to the Apple Store in Seattle, WA, who have told her that her graphics card is completely fried and needs to be replaced, and that she can't just replace the graphics card, because it's soldered onto the logic board - so she'd have to replace the "whole thing", which would be really expensive, around $1,000, and she "may as well buy a new computer"!!!!!!
I am REALLY REALLY upset about this - that a computer manufacturer (Apple) would sell laptops and just expect that people would have this huge outlay ready every 3 - 5 years to replace fried computers.
Has anyone else had major problems with their computers - laptops or otherwise - after installing the Snow Leopard CD upgrade??? I have read on several online forums that many people have had many different problems with their computers after installing this upgrade.
Apologies that I am not a computer-system-literate person - I'm just a mother who spent a LOT of money on a laptop for her daughter, and I truly believe that the Snow Leopard upgrade fried her computer. She doesn't have the money to get a replacement and will probably have to drop out of college courses she's taking online because of this.
Please can someone give me some advice - in the simplest of layman terms possible???

Once a machine reaches 4 years old, its PRAM battery can likely get low fairly quickly, and that can jeapordize the success of upgrades. Make sure your PRAM battery is new, if you have never changed it. This is not the battery that is easily accessible through the bottom of the unit. Bring it in to service if you can't find it through do-it-yourself repair instructions on http://www.ifixit.com/ and http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ Keep that PRAM battery checked every 4 years or so when the machine starts to misbehave.
Edit: Scratch that. I now see they diagnosed a bad graphics card. This is something that could have been diagnosed during the first year or three years of ownership with the hardware test that came with the computer. After that three years, age and wear and tear can damage a graphics card. Your best bet if you want to avoid this happening in the future, don't travel with the machine asleep (only travel with it turned off), run the hardware test every six months, and buy AppleCare for any notebook computer you buy, even if you wait till the machine is 11 months old. After 12 months, you are paying out of pocket for every single repair, even manufacturer issues that don't make an exchange/repair program. With AppleCare manufacturer issues are typically covered. User caused damage typically is not.

Hot Synch does not work, Treo 755p, USB, 17" Mac Pro Laptop, even with RevD installed and Allow other HotSynch applications preference check box checked

Hi,
I am a long time Palm enthusiast who is frustrated. No more Palm products for me or anyone I speak to until I solve this problem. Someone at Palm should be paying attention to their long time cusotmers. I bought Palms in 2002 and 2003.
The support literature coming with two Treo 755p that I bought was so poor that never saw the fine print that there was three months of support if I registered the devices. The registration page does not let me register. All the fields are ghosted after I put in the serial number. I bought one in June 2008 and the other in early 2008. So never registered and can get no help from Palm now it seems.
So beside that gripe below is the problem issue info.
I can't get a Verizon Treo 755p to USB cable Hot Synch with my daughters 17" Mac Pro Laptop. It is using OS 10.5x She lives in another city so I am trouble shooting this remotely.
Did - Revd Palm upgrage has been installed.
PalmDesktopMac421Revd.dmg (17MB)
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=4518,E=0000000000255177998,K=6239,Sxi=3,case=obj(33...
Did in advanced settings on the Treo select in the Synch preferences allow other Hot Sync applications.
That process worked however on my own Treo 755p Verizon as below:
After much work, hours over several months, I got my my Treo 755p Verizon to Hot Synch with a QuickSilver desk top Mac running os 10.5x.
Did the RevD upgrade.
Did in advanced settings on the Treo select in the Synch preferences allow other Hot Sync applications. Otherwise the Wireless Synch feature prevents a Hot Synch.
Once those both were done than Hot Synch works fine, and Wireless Synch works fine and does not interfere.
The Wireless on both PDAs is scheduled to be removed on both Treos due the economy on Feb. 4th, so I would like the HotSynch to be working so her Treo is backed up.
Thanks so much to anyone who replies to help out.
Best

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Works now, she had created a user ID as prompted when installing the HotSynch Software, but it was not the same name of the Treo 755p. The default ID was the one she from installing the software, so it showed nothing in address or contacts, but when she switched to the Treo ID than all her stuff was there.
