Woke up this morning to fan blasting and no response to keyboard
I have been using my mac with a surveillance program called SecurutySpy for the last 3 weeks with no problem. I leave the Mac running all night and just turn off the dual monitors. Last night, after finally reading the manual for the program, I decided to optimize the settings on my Mac to better utilize the program. In the Options section of the Energy Saver System Preference, I set the Processor Performance setting to Highest from Automatic. All continued to work well till this morning.
When I put on the monitors and moved the mouse to rouse the mac this morning, nothing happened and the fans were roaring like a vacuum cleaner. I shut the computer down and restarted it to find that my keyboard was not even working. I couldn't even open the DVD drive door via the keyboard. The startup chime never sounded. After about 3 minutes, the fans started to roar up again.
I managed to open the DVD player with a paperclip and tried booting from the Tiger DVD, but again nothing. I even reset the SMU button inside to no avail. I was using the miglia tuner DVR card to interface with the surveillance camera through the composite imput.
Everything has been status quo for 3 weeks till I adjusted the energy saver preference to highest last night. This has not been a good day .

Ok, send me an email and I'll send you something that will help.

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

my macbook air won't turn on.. last night it was still working properly... when i woke up this morning, i went to turn it on but it didn't respond..i tried plugging the charger and the lightning cord showed a green light which is normal when charging..i tried to open the macbook air again but nothing happened.. no fans, no chimes, no light in the laptop showed..what should i do? please help..thank you
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
A green light means that your battery is full or that it can't be detected. If you can't start up the Mac, probably your logic board or battery aren't working.
Take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller to get your battery or logic board replaced. If the MacBook is in warranty, this repair will be free -
I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
Many thanksCan anybody shed some light on this for me?
Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta. -

Then I have to go click on the bookmark icon again to get rid of the menu. Has a setting changed or did Apple change it for me and how do I get it BAAAAAAACK????????????
The first G4 models were basically a repackaged/upgraded G3 & came in 350 & 400MHz models. This design was called PCI version. The next G4 models were AGPs. This link http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/index-powermac-g4.html has the specs/pictures of all the G4 models.

Using these links, you should be able to determine which model you have.
Removing the battery causes all settings in the internal memory to be reset, just like resetting the PMU/CUDA. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial

I woke up this morning and my iPod was empty. HELP!
I have a 2nd generation 15GB iPod. As of last night everything was fine. I had used it to play music through iTunes (version 6.0.3) and left it plugged into my computer (which was shut down) overnight. I woke up this morning and went to put some music on through iTunes and it quit itself. I reopened it, and then it said that it could not connect to my iPod and that I should reset it to factory settings using iPod updater.
Naturally, this message worried me. I safely removed my iPod from my computer and went to look at the iPod. All the music was gone. Under "About" it says I have 0 songs, a 13.9 GB capacity and have 3.0 GB available.
Is the iPod confused about how much space is being used on it? Is everything really gone? I tried double-clicking the iPod icon when it was on my desktop, but it truly appears empty.
Any help or insight into this dilemma would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!If the iPod is still showing used space, then you may have a corrupted hard drive.
This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes. -

I woke up this morning and my phone is now stuck in Hboot/Fastboot menu
I woke up this morning and my phone is now stuck in Hboot/Fastboot menu.
How did you get at that screen in the first place? Were you installing something questionable on your device recently?
Have you tried to power off the device this way:
Press and hold the Volume up button and the Power button until the device powers off (approximately 10 seconds) then release.
Allow several seconds for the reboot process to complete.
Have you tried any of the other things found in the troubleshooting section?

rented gravity last night but fell asleep waiting for it to download. woke up this morning and cant find it anywhere. Have any ideas where to look?
What did you rent it on, a computer's iTunes or an iOS device ? If a computer's iTunes then it should have downloaded into the Movies part of your iTunes library (if you select that then is there a 'rentals' tab on it with that film in it ?) ; if you rented it on an iOS device then it should be in its Videos app.

Blue/Black screen when I woke up this morning.
Hi all
I woke up this morning to my phone displaying blue/black lines on my screen with no picture :/!
It has rather confused and I'm unsure what to do. I have had the phone for over a year and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
GregorHave you tried creating a backup then restoring the phone as new? If it's still happening on a wiped phone, it's almost definitely a hardware issue that needs to be repaired
