Why does my Windows side of Bootcamp go black when I try to go into it?

My Windows side of Bootcamp just goes black when I try to go into it. When I close my laptop and open it again for two seconds it shows the password screen but that's all the visual I can get out of it in normal mode. In safe mode I can actually get into the Windows side but I really want to fix the problem. I've had this MacBookPro for 2 years and the bootcamp worked fine after I set it up that whole time. But after I got it back from Apple for repairs to the video card this problem started. I already spoke to Apple on the phone and the guy said it's likely something relative to the Windows software but it seems to be fine in safe mode so I'm not so sure. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning!
Thanks for your reply.  I took care of this after a lot of trying on Friday.
FYI, Windows 8.1 on a Dell Laptop which was new in October. I assume that the Acrobat version was recent.
It appeared that the Acrobat program disappeared or was deleted.
I downloaded a new copy of the program and I was able to access my pdf files.
A real problem for me was trying to find a clean copy of the program from a true Adobe site. It seems that there are a lot of false sites that look like Adobe.
Thanks again!
Kevin

  • Why does my Windows PC always say Incorrect Password when I Try to Connect to the Time Capsule storage by Airport for Windows?

    I just installed AirPort on My Windows PC.
    Now I wont to Connect to the hard drive of Time Capsule to share Data with my MacBook.
    Air Port always says "wrong password".
    I even tryed to change the password, restart the PC, restart Time Capsule ...
    Nothing happans.
    The Ethernet connection, Internet connection and printer connection works great, but not the Hard drive!!!
    Can anyone help me???

    Sorry I went off to dream land and Apple decided to glitch their server so the edit failed. I am answering different posts with different problems and went off about networking. Blame it on age.
    You can ignore most of the post above.
    But I do still want you to connect direct to the TC without any other connections.
    Reset it to factory by holding in the reset and then powering on.. keep holding in reset until the led flashes rapidly. This is a total wipe of settings. 
    I do want you to use airport utility to access the TC.. to erase the disk, and restart as a fresh new TC.
    Do not password it.. do not change anything from defaults except to turn on Guest network give it read and write permissions.. And to set the correct workgroup.. update the TC. .
    Then try to access the TC . if it asks for a password it is public. username can be anything but either current username on the pc or admin.
    BTW make sure you are logging into windows.. just booting straight to desktop ruins the security permissions and loads of things do not work. You must log into windows.. and then log into the TC.
    If it doesn't work as I said try linux os or reinstall windows.. that is necessary every couple of years anyway.. it will work.. you have a permissions issue or networking issue.. these can be cleared.

  • Why does the organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?

    Why does Photoshop Elements Organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?  Is there a new way to downolad?

    Detective" for $30.  Is this something worth investing in or should we be
    able to solve this ourselves?   My brain hurts.
    No it is not worth investing in this because it is a very expensive way of getting viruses. These detectives and those who say they can find the fault on your machine by installing their software are bunch of hackers.
    If your camera is not recognized then it suggests that either your USB is faulty or the cable linking the two is faulty.
    Can you connect anything else like a flash drive to your USB port that you are using for your camera and is it recognized?

  • Why does it say I have an invalid email when I try to set up sync?

    I have an ipod touch. I downloaded the firefox home app onto the device.
    I then tried to sync my home computer.
    When I try to set up a firefox home account I go to "tools", enter "set up a sync " and then enter "create a new account". A window comes up that "email address". As soon as I start to enter my email an "x" shows up followed by "this is an invalid email". What's up?

    Just keep typing until you have entered the entire email address.

  • Why does my mac book pro screen go black when it goes to sleep and then will not light up again unless I unplug the power cord

    When I either leave my mac book pro open, but idle long enough for it to go to sleep or close the top and put it to sleep, the only way to light up the screen again is to diconnect the mag. connect power cord. Any ideas why and/or how to  correct this problem?

    So this is what I got when I took my computer into the apple store to have it diagnosed.
    After the apple technician performced several tests, the only thing that fixed the issue was an SMC reset. Based on this he figures it is probably a software or firmware issue that is going on. He is a little concerend how ever that the fans of the comupter don't reach maximal rpm when the computer is displaying the issue. So he recorded the problem, and told me to just perform the SMC reset as needed for the next couple months and wait for a new update from apple. If the issue persists I am to go back to the apple store and they will take the appropriate steps.
    He said an SMC reset doesn't hurt the computer in any way, so its safe to do. I am gonna contact blizzard and let them know about the issue as well because if it is software, it could be their game (Diablo 3) that is causing the issue as well. If I hear of anything new i will let you know. So get on the blizzard form and let them know of the issue to fix the problem faster.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Why does my Windows 7 64bit PC reboot intermittently when opening itunes?

    Intermittenly for the past 6 months my Windows 7 64bit machine will instantly reboot when I open the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5.5).   If I open it manually or if automatically when connecting my iPod classic. It does not even show a BSOD.  On reboot I can open it no problems and access the store also fine.
    I have an NVIDIA GTX 570 graphics card with up to date drivers. Asus XONAR DG sound card is also up to date.
    Any ideas?!

    Whenabouts are you getting the hang? Is it when going "Edit > Preferences" in iTunes and when attaching a device? Or is it a different sort of hang? (If it's a different sort of hang, walk us through what's going on in some more detail, please.)

  • Why does a window open telling me to update when it IS up to date?

    Every so often a tab opens telling me to update FF. I checked by going to help/about and it is up to date? Why am I getting this? It looks official and the web address for the page that comes up is...http://www.update-browser.org/Firefox/...So that "LOOKS" right. I downloaded the updater file & AVG'd it & anti malware'd it, all is ok there. I have a screen shot to post when I can.

    It may be you have a third party Firefox. OR this is a FAKE MESSAGE

  • Why does Firefox send me back a few pages when I attempt to type into a text box???

    I am sick and tired of this insane bug. It affects me on a daily basis. 20% of the time I attempt to type anything into any text box, for every keypress, Firefox will treat them as requests to 'go back' and it launches me several pages backwards through my browsing history in the tab. I then I have to skip forward and attempt filling it in again. It usually works after 1-2 attempts but like i said this is happening 20% of the time on text input forms, especially FARK.com.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Year or two ago

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why does my iPad 2 iOS 7 not respond when I try to move multiple emails from my pop3 account to the trash?

    I've tried the suggestions on this website. Ive upgraded to iOS 7.0.4
    I've gone to my yahoo email account's inbox, not the all mailboxes inbox. 
    I've download my emails and hit the edit button. Ive selected an individual email, hit the move button and kept my finger on the move button and deselected the email I initially selected.
    A new window is supposed to open so that I can hit the trash button, but the new window does not open. The blue dot next to my originally selected email disappears. The move and trash links at the bottom grey out and the message "select messages to trash or move" stays visible over the preview area. The only link that isn't greyed out is "cancel". I've let the screen sit this way until my ipad goes to sleep, but the new window never opens.   I keep trying it over and over, but it doesn't work. I have 1000's of emails I need to delete because they are taking up too much memory

  • Why does the straighten tool in Elements 11 freeze when I try to use it?

    When I click on the straighten tool and then click on a horizontal line on my photo, as I attempt to draw the line across the photo it freezes after a fraction of an inch and rotates the photo before I've drawn the line along the horizontal feature I'm using and it's always wrong. I had this problem with my downloaded trial version of Elements 11 and it appears on the version I purchased in the store today.

    I was able to replicate this problem and believe it may be a bug, although I did find a "workaround".
    The straighten tool was only drawing for a very short distance and then I would no longer see the straighten line.  Of course, this prevented me from using it properly.  I followed the suggestions in this thread and reset the preferences.   The Straighten tool worked normally until I enabled the ruler under the View settings.  Once, the ruler was enabled the straighten tool started doing the same thing it did before.  I turned off the ruler and it started working normally again without re-opening the program.  I tried the ruler both in the default inches measurement as well as pixels (my personal ruler preference).
    The workaround would be to turn off the ruler while straightening.  However, I hope this is fixed in a patch.  I didn't have this problem with Photoshop Elements 9, the last version of Elements I had prior to upgrading.    For the record, I'm running Windows 7, just installed Photoshop Elements 11 and immediately downloaded the updates, which I believe was just the Adobe Raw 7.3 update.

  • Why does it say that the USB is empty when I try to connect my ipod nano to my car?

    I have other devices that will connect to my car without a problem so I know it's not the car... When I plug in my nano it says that it is empty but there are clearly songs on it and I can't find anything for that trouble shooting...

    Does the car's manufacturer/stereo say that your particular model and generation iPod is compatible with it?  That would be the first place to start.

  • Why does a document in Textedit save as .txt when I try to save it as .html?

    I am trying to save a document in Textedit as a .html and it will work at first but if I edit it and press "Save as Version" it saves it as a .txt. It is getting very annoying because I have to change it every time I open it. Please Help

    I think if I understand you correctly this could work, if you uncheck the box in Textedit preferences "Add .txt........." and then do a  "save as" .html.
    Then "get info" on the document and define what you want to open it with. It should only open then the way you want it to keeping the .html

  • Why does my phone give me the Roaming message when I try to make calls when I'm not roaming??

    All of a sudden recently when ever I try to make phone calls I get the message saying that I am being transferred to an external operator to use a calling card, credit card, or collect call to complete my call and that the reason is that my phone is roaming.  I have had this account with Verizon for a year now, I am in the same area as always, and I've never had this problem. I've talked to live chat reps and tried to call Verizon and no one can give me an answer. They've had me call *288 and *28890 and nothing has worked. Whats going on???

    This is a complete lie.
    Verizon made an update on 10/4 and has been having issues with their prepaid activation which is still happening.  They do not have any update and there is no resolution to this.  If you look at other postings on here they have not responded to any other prepaid customer issues.
    You will not be able to use your phone till Verizon resolves this issue.
