MacBook won't start up.
If you have your Mac OS X Install disc, insert it into the drive.
Restart the computer and hold down "C" while booting.
Choose your language.
Select "Disk Utility" from the "Utilities" in the menu bar.
Select your Macbook's hard drive in the left sidebar.
Click the "First Aid" tab thats along the top of the viewer window.
Click "Verify Disk" (not verify disk permissions)
If this shows errors click "Repair Disk"
Once completed close the Disk Utility window.
Restart the computer.
If this fails to fix it as well then your next option would most likely be recovering your files from the macbook either by booting into target disk mode (hold down T at startup) and transferring them via a firewire cable, or removing the hard drive and hooking it up to another Mac to get the files. Then do a clean install of Mac OS X using your installation discs.
Fix gray screen mac
There could be a couple of things to check first. Pull the memory modules and clean the gold contacts with some isotropic alcohol thens restart the laptop, Next make sure each module is working by checking "About this Mac" Hardware, memory. Also if you recently upgraded to a later OS, that new OS may require more memory that the previous system. Finally it may be your hard drive is going ad or already has gone bad. This is a good reason to have a back-up drive for your computer.

This sounds like you have a bad hard drive, if you have reinstalled the OS twice and you are still getting a disk error, it is probably due to a physical problem with the drive. You would need to take your computer in to an Apple store or other computer repair place and have the hard drive replaced.
I've replaced the screen on my macbook and now on
First thing I would do is startup the macbook using the system disk holding down the c key on the keyboard. Once the macbook has started go to file menu and select disk utility and you will be able to check that the disk is showing up.
If it is showing up it could indicate a problem with your system software and what I would do is reinstal the system remembering to preserve users.
If it is not showing up it could be that the cable to the hard drive has come loose and will have to be reseated.
Hope this helps

Reset Safari:
Click on
Safari in your
Safari menu, located at the top of your screen. A drop-down menu will now appear. Choose the option labeled
Reset Safari
This will give you the option to delete stored login info, favicons, cache, history, and cookies. If you do a full reset you’ll likely see noticeably improved browser performance, but you’ll need to log in to all the websites that normally “remember” you, so if you doubt you’ll be able to recall all of your login info across the Web, try deleting everything but login info and cookies first to see if that speeds things up.
If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

I dropped my mac lap top and the screen is a bit fuzzy, how can I fix it?
Thank for contacting Fixya, I will be glad to assist you. You cannot, without having a diagnostics performed by a certified Apple technician or Apple Authorized Service Provider. You may have damaged the video graphics card on the main logic board of your MacbookMacbook Pro.Unless you have knowledge on how to go in and physically troubleshoot this geniune hardware issue, I would recommend you do you to your local Apple retail store Genius bar, or Apple Authorized Service center near you and have your Macbook looked at.Just for your reference, I have taken the liberty to provide the store locator links to your local Apple Retail store as well as a general store locator for locating any local Apple Authorized Service center in your area.
Apple Retail Store(Genius bar - need to set appointment via this website link, if planning on visiting Apple store of choice in your immediate area)
Apple Authorized Service ProviderYou don't want to keep turning on the Macbook until you have it checked because it could affect more than just the video graphics card.Regards,-The MacTechTrainer.
I have a Sanyo Xacti 10 MP that records with date and time but when I put the SD card in my Apple laptop and download the videos, the date and time seems to not stay on the videos.
The date and time information may not be embedded in the video file itself, but rather in the metadata of the file. When you transfer the video from your camera to your computer, the metadata may not be transferred along with the video.
To preserve the date and time information on your downloaded videos, you can try the following:
- Use a video player that displays metadata: Some media players, such as VLC media player, allow you to view the metadata of a video file. If the metadata contains the date and time information, you may be able to view it using such a player.
- Transfer the video using a program that preserves metadata: Some file transfer programs, such as Image Capture on Mac, will preserve metadata when transferring files. You may try using such a program to transfer your videos.
- Use a metadata editor to add date and time information: You can try using a metadata editor, such as ExifTool, to add the date and time information to your video files.
It's worth noting that not all video file formats support metadata, so depending on the format of your video files, it may not be possible to preserve the date and time information.

I have a new MacMini 2021 Monterrey O/S. I use Zoom but my Gear Head Webcam F#2 4.8mm is not on or is not connecting? IS it compatible with Apple Monterrey O/S?
It's possible that your Gear Head Webcam F#2 4.8mm is not compatible with the new MacMini 2021 running the Monterrey operating system (macOS Monterey).
The best way to check for compatibility is to visit Gear Head website and check for the compatibility list for the webcam with the MacMini 2021 running the Monterrey operating system. If the webcam is not on the list, it's possible that it may not be compatible with the new operating system.
If the webcam is not compatible with the new operating system, it may not be able to connect to the MacMini or be recognized by the Zoom app.
Alternatively, you can try connecting the webcam to the MacMini using a USB-C adapter and see if that resolves the issue.
You may also want to check if there is any new firmware update available for the webcam or the Zoom app that might resolve the issue.
If the issue still persists, it would be best to contact Gear Head customer support for further assistance and check if there is a way to make the webcam compatible with the new operating system or if there is any other solution that can be provided.
