My ibook screen wnet blank and i cant see anything.I can hear the computer start up but the crenn just stays black. Any ideas to fix it.

Basically what I want to know how they got the iPad to display on the big screen during the announcement, wirelessly. Seems this little feat was overlooked. Its been done with the iphone also. Somehow they are able to show the screen that he is using on the projector screen without any wires. any ideas would be great, google has come up with nothing.

I have a Sony Vaio P (I purchased for $700US) with a 1600 by 768 pixel screen, 2GB ram,1.86ghz (intel z540 chip), 128GB SSD (Sony OEM not runcore -_-) & ipod nano (2008 model) and a blackberry bold (9000)
I love the crisp pictures my Sony P provides, the res is worse on the ipad specs
I don’t care if the screen is slightly larger, My laptop is smaller, weighs lighter and fits the purpose of space efficiency and portability. It has a spaced out keyboard and the beta version of MS Office 2010 on it. Apple’s ‘killer app store’ provokes a loud yawn and sure it has 1-5% (some) practical value, most of the apps are novelty crap and the only one to defend it’s necessity to the death seem to be apple fanboys or dullards whose last major electronic purchase was the NES in the late ’80s… I am sick of the plants on radio who promote this crap, the reviewers who seem to be on Jobs’ payroll and others who think this is an ‘economical solution’ at US $500+, it makes me sick… especially when I think about the elderly who’ve never heard of a tablet PC and get suckered into purchasing this device because of the large colourful screen and reading utilities make it easier to access their books and newspapers. Sure that alone is worth 500 smackers plus your credit details, data payments and download charges for the material. So far no apps have been created to make it a worthwhile purchase at any price ($1 even) I wouldn’t waste any of my wi-fi, money or time on it, unless I was paid a princely sum.

I’m really interested in buying one of these but I want to be sure that i’m getting the most for my money. Are there any problems with the sound, screen, graphics, or anything? Is it easy to draw on? Is it slower in any way than a regular notebook? Does vista run well on it? Are there any programs that someone could recommend putting on it or warn against putting on it? I want to get as much feedback as possible from people who’ve had experience with a tablet notebook and especially I want to know if anything goes wrong with them after a while and if any difficulties arise. Thanks!

Hi there. Got an iBook running OX 10. When I try to start up, it gets to the grey screen, shows apple, runs the progress wheel for five minutes, and then restarts. I’ve tried starting up in safe mode, but the same thing happened. Please tell me there is hope left!!
Thanks so much for your response, but I need a few details.

1. I bought my computer online and don’t think the previous user sent the install disk.

2. How do you reset the P-Ram?

3. I removed all peripherals, no luck.

4. How do you boot into single user mode?

Most important – will any of these actually erase data on my harddrive? I’ve been a bit neglectful on backing up.
