When you connect earth wire in ceiling light does not work when connecting earth from light direct to earth wire coming from ceiling trips out when take earth wire out light works?
By earth wire I am assuming you mean the bare wire and that a black and white wire are connected to the light. If when you connect the earth wire and breaker trips then there is a short between black and earth. It could be a bad ground connection, an internal short in the light fixture where black wire "hot" is connected to metal on the fixture through a nick in wire.

Bad ground connection. Corrosion on wire. Broken or cracked wire. Bad Switch. Mouse chewed through wire. just a guess but it may be faulty wiring in the fixture itself you can try to figure it out first try to problem solve it.did you replace an older one?is it a new fixture?did it work before or after you replaced it?andis it a fairly old one?you can replace it as a last resort.

Why is water leaking on the downstairs ceiling when the H or C faucets on the upstairs tub are turned on if it is not leaking through the drain or tub?
If the tub has a shower as well, the pipe from the faucet to the shower head could be leaking. You might also check the tube that comes OUT and fills the tub. It could be leaking back at the valve when you turn on the water.
How To Install A Lighting Fixture Onto Your Ceiling Fan?
There are many beautiful lighting fixtures available that can be installed onto a ceiling fan. These lighting fixtures can create a special atmosphere are provide great lighting options within a room. Installing lighting fixtures are very easy to complete yourself on a ceiling fan that is already in place. Here is a guide to help you complete this project in your home. Step 1. Gather all of the products, tools and supplies you will need to complete your lighting fixture installation. For this project you will need a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, wire insulation stripper, your chosen light fixture kit and a step ladder. Step 2. Before you begin with the installation process, you will need to turn off the power to the switch that controls your ceiling fan at the breaker box. Step 3. Remove all glass fixtures that come with the light fixture for your ceiling fan. In the center of your light fixture you will find a tube with a nut and washers. Both the nut and washers should be removed and set aside for later. Remove the center of the canopy and place it on the top of your ceiling fan lighting fixture where the tube is positioned. The canopy with thread downward or slide down over the tubing. Using the washers and nuts that you set aside, tight the canopy onto the lighting fixture. Make sure that this is tight but do not over tighten. Pass the black and white wire that is on your light fixture through the hollow center tube. Use a gentle pull to accomplish this so that the wires do not break. You will be able to see the inside wiring of the ceiling fan. Pull the black and white wires that are used for lighting fixture installation down. If these wires are insulated at the end, remove the insulation cap. If no insulation cap is present, strip about one half inches of the insulation off of each wire. Connect the white wire on the ceiling fan with the white wire on the lighting fixture. Connect the black wire on the ceiling fan with the black wire on the lighting fixture. Finish this by twisting the exposed wires and cap each set of wires. Tuck these wires back into the ceiling fan without breaking them. Replace the screws and tighten them securely without over tightening. Step 4. Place the glass covers that come with the light fixture in place. Insert all necessary light bulbs as needed. Restore the power supply to the ceiling fan. If necessary, attach a pull cord for your lighting fixture.

What does it mean when the condensation overflow tube for your house air conditioner is leaking through your ceiling?
The overflow tube is clogged is my first guess, unless someone or something has cracked the drain tube with activity in the area.
What can be the cause for your downstairs neighbor's bathroom ceiling leak and could it be your fault from your tub but there is no actual leak in your apartment anywhere and it's an old building?
For the ceiling to be damaged there is a leak! As to who's fault it is that is the question. It is determined by who is responsible in your apartment for the upkeep of what is leaking. Some of the causes could be a leaking tile wall or tub surround, water leaking where the valve or spout protrudes through the wall, a drain leaking, the shower valve or piping leaking, water spilling over the edge of the tub on the floor or even a roof or window leaking. I would recommend hiring a plumber to investigate and repair any leak that is occurring as most of the time it would be your responsibility for repair. A leak is not going to get any better on its own and water damage costs can be significant.
