  • New Macbook charger not working properly on one side

    Hello,
    I've recently sent my macbook in to get the exterior fixed. Upon its first charge I noticed the light on the Apple 60w Magsafe power Adapter never turned on, (indicating me that it is in fact charging)
    This problem only occurs if its charging with the wire facing away from you, not towards you (because you can attach the charger two ways) It works if its charging with the wire facing towards me, but this usually is a very awkward and uncomfortable way to charge my macbook. I have two identical chargers and it does the same for both.
    Is there anyway to help this problem? Or does my charger need replacing?

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Macbook 6,1 charger not working

    Macbook 6,1 charger not working A1344
    The Macbook is a 6,1 purchased in 2010.
    My friend has had a go at the shooting suggestions but nothing seems out of sorts beyond it not working properly.
    No damage or signs of misuse.
    Ordinarily I wouldn't have thought a warranty would still apply but this paragraph on Apple support page made me wonder.
    --- Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of the evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.---
    When my friend took the Macbook and charger into an Apple Store in central London she was told it's out of warranty and best option is to just buy a new one.
    Any thoughts regarding whether Apple has approved free replacement for these chargers?
    She is in UK but machine was purchased in Australia

    thanks
    Jason

    all sorted now - new charger given
    turns out a bit of intelligent discussion yielded results
    so .. if you have any problem with an older mac take it into an Apple Store
    theres an excellent chance they will fix and replace even when the machine is out of warranty

  • Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install?  This seems like a big error by Adobe.

    I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro.  No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers.  I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use.  When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message.  What is the point of a universal player that is not universal?  It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8.  Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

    Where are you getting Flash from?
    Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

  • My macbook is not working with any headphones!!!!

    i have a problem my macbook is not working with any headphones
    can any body tell me why is it doing this?
    or how i can tell if its just the headphone jack w/o taking it to an apple store? I really dont have the time until the end of the semester and i dont want my macbook crashing on me when working on a project.
    thanks in advance

    When you plug the headphones in can you still hear the audio through the MacBook's built-in speakers? If you can then you may have a physical problem with the audio port on the MacBook. In any case, you should check to see if the headphones are being recognized in the System Preferences -> Sound control panel (under the "Output" tab). Note that it is possible to have different volume/mute settings between the speakers and the headphones so you need to check the Sound control panel to see if you have the headphone output set to mute. When I plug a set of headphones into my MacBook the output name in the Sound control panel changes to "Headphones" from "Internal Speakers." You should check to see if you see the same behavior on your MacBook.

  • My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad one.

    My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .

    Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
    If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?

    I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
    However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?

    No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find 
    your web page very helpful in this regard.

  • Why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

    why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

    I have the same problem.  I contacted magic jack, and after more than an hour of waiting, here is the final part of our discussion, before I had to leave to go to work:
    Me:  the magic jack app has worked fine for months unregistered. Never had a problem before. I must go to work now. I will leave the chat box open. if you could, send me a list of possible fixes and I will try to apply them when I get back. Please write in detail. Is there a way that I can get in touch and get a senior rep on right away to handle my problem when I get back, or do I hae to wait again when I call next time?
    Kara: I am one of the senior rep here and in fact one of the supervisors . Here is what you are going to do:
    Kara: Once you register the magicjack app into your Iphone, we can refresh your account connections here manually however if you dont register it, no options in our end to work for your connections since the MJ app is not used to be registered. No worries, we can remove your account if you dont want the service anymore for free.
    +++++++++++++++++
    So, it would seem that either there is a problem that they don't know about, or else magic jack is trying to force everyone to not choose option 3 on the opening screen, the one which allows you to continue to make a call without registering.
    Has anyone received a solution to this problem from magic jack support?

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Why does drag and drop not work?

    Why does drag and drop not work?

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
    If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

  • Why does my free trial not work?

    Why does my free trial not work?  This is intentially misleading.

    You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
    Adobe trial software expired early
    Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

  • Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime

    Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime.
    In fact I have given my iPhone to my daughter to use in Canada (purchased from UAE ISP) she is unable to use Face Time within Canada. ?
    Is it possibile to activate FaceTime in Canada if iPhone is purchase from UAE.
    Purchase under Points by ISP (No contract)
    Thanks
    Abbas

    Hello sir
           I agree what u replied for the above question, but because of the UAE request, you cannot deactivate the facetime completely from this iphone, they should stop working through SIM network. The iphone is a universal mobile which can travel all over the world, many tourist people will suffer due to that, pls re-consider in taking back and try to make it upgrading this software.
    Thanks
