When to replace CCFL's?

I have an Aluminum ACD that I purchased in 2004. The monitor seems a little dim to me overall, not in just one place. On average, how long should the CCFL bulbs last and what's the bet way to determine if they need to be replaced?

If it is still uniform across the entire display, and the colors haven't shifted, don't change anything. My Apple display is still fine after nearly 8 years. Replacing the lamps is not easy or cheap. Finding the right tubes is not easy.

When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem? My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine. I shouldn't have to buy a new one. Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected? That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
How is your network configured? Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary. If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router. If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation. The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router. But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

Does the apple warrenty start again when apple replace your products

Hi All
When apple replace your products like my iphone 5 does the 12 month warrenty start again? as the replacement I have is giving me an electric shock in my ear when on the phone and my phone is on charge

An item replaced under warranty will have the balance of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer.

When to replace drives, and when does the hot-spare kick in?

Here's the situation: got an e-mail today from the RAID (no it wasn't a love letter), which alerted me to a ten-times repeated ERROR: 0x10, STATUS: 0x51 on drive 8
I then proceded to check through the log, and found from a while back (mysteriously I never received an e-mail even though it said it had sent one!) ERROR: 0x40, STATUS: 0x51
which were however only single/double incidents, not repeated 10 times like this latest error.
Despite these errors, the drives show up as "OK" in RAID Admin, and the hot spare drives seem not to have been activated.
The question is now, should I get these drives replaced ASAP, or if the RAID lists the drives as OK is everything fine and dandy? (not sure how to take a "non-recoverable error 0x40" and reconcile that with a drive status of OK)
Ronald

Nobody's got any answers? Bummer! The Apple manual says really nothing useful about how to aAsSsSeEsSsS error messages and when to replace drives, etc.
It's nice to sell to people that a RAID-5 will keep the data safe, but that only works if one knows what to make of the error messages.
I shouldn't have to spend another $1k for a tech support contract, just to learn what things mean that should be explained in the tech docs...
Ronald
PS: will someone tell Apple's PC watchdog that aAsSsSeEsSsS has nothing to do with aAsSsS? AaSsSsEeSsSsMmEeNnTt is a technical term, yet it wouldn't want to let me post the message because it contained aAsSsSeEsSsS! What's next? Soon we can't use the word RAID anymore, because it's refers to undesirable violence...
Someone please pick up a dictionary, in Tiger there's both a regular app and a widget to do so, so it shouldn't be that hard...

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you

On my keyboard, a few of my keys are using incorrect letters or symbols, but when I replaced the keyboard that did;t fix it.

How do I replace 2 pantone colors with 2 new pantone colors globally? I have a 2 PMS logo with many tint variations in it . When I replace PMS in Swatches pallette. The logo does not globally replace the selected color. es

I have a 2-PMS color logo with many tints in it of the 2 colors. When I replace the swatches in the logo to new colors, they convert from Book Color to CMYK. Can the printer work with that? How can I kee it a 2-color separation?
MaryFl

This is what I understand. You have a logo in a document that uses PMS 'A' and PMS 'B' colors and you want to change to colors PMS 'C' and PMS 'D'. If this is correct there are different ways to do this, but here is a traditional way:
Make sure Select Same Tint is turned OFF in the Preferences. And all objects are unlocked in the document.
Get the two PMS (C and D) in the document's Swatches Panel.
Select PMS 'A' and bring the 'Fill' box in focus.
From the Select menu choose Same > Fill Color.
Click on PMS 'C' in Swatches panel to replace all PMS 'A' fills with PMS 'C'.
Deselect all.
Again select PMS 'A' and this time bring 'Stroke' box in focus.
From the Select menu choose Same > Stroke Color.
Click on PMS 'C' in Swatches panel to replace all PMS 'A' strokes with PMS 'C'.
Deselect all.
Similarly using the same approach replace PMS 'B' wit PMS 'D'.
If you have CS3 / CS4 and the PMS colors in the logo are easily identifiable, you can use Live Color to change the colors pretty easily.
Hope this helps!
- Neeraj
New Note: If there are gradients / blends that use these PMS colors the above approach would not work, but Live Color can.

Why are my tags deleted when I replace pages?

Why are my tags deleted when I replace pages?

Hi Stephanie,
My suggested workaround: In Acrobat Pro, in the Page Thumbnails pane, select the pages that you want to replace then right click and select "Delete pages". Then, right-click the page just ahead of where the replacement pages will go, select "Insert pages", and follow the prompts. This is just the way I do it, not the only way.
Tiger26 is making the excellent suggestion that, prior to inserting pages, encapsulate the tags for the pages to be inserted using a Section tag. This makes the post-insertion chore of dragging the tags to their proper place in the tag structure easier.

Is it possible to Change Product when you replace Back Panel

Hi, Recently i have changed the Back Panel of my Notebook ( HP Pavillion G6), just now i checked the system model with the help of Belarc Advisor it is showing as Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion g4 Notebook PC.Is it possible to change the product when you replace Back panel. ThanksSrinu Chigulla

Hello , Welcome back to the HP Support Forums! When you replaced the back panel, did you replace any internal components as well? As long as you didnt replace any internal parts, then the model of your notebook should not be different. Please let me know if this information was helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.
Have a great day!

When icloud replaces mobile me, will it stop hosting all iweb sites.

When icloud replaces mobile me, will it stop hosting all iweb sites.
If so, what are the millions of iweb users meant to do.
From the notes I have seen, kindlyt sent out by apple, we need to buy Domain space on servers now.
Are there any better ways?
I really hope apple can update iweb, as its an amazing apple app, and if they do it may make the pain fo having to live without mobiel me hosting a bit easier!

It is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ RSS Feed Widget
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
I would imagine that iWeb and iDVD will be dropped from future boxed versions of iLife if there are boxed versions. However, there may be some copies of the boxed iLife 11 still on the shelves that would include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.

Apple recommends backing up the data when you're getting the battery replaced by them. So I assume that you will likely lose the data during this process.
Will the data on my iPhone be preserved?
No, during the service process all data on your iPhone will be erased. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service. During service, Apple may exchange your iPhone with an iPhone that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
Following service, your iPhone may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need torestore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.
