A vertical white band has appeared on my screen and I don't know how to get rid of it.
About an inch wide, going from the top of the screen all the way to the bottom. It doesn't interfere with online activities or word processing, but it pulses and is distracting. I can't move it to the left or right. Shutting the computer down doesn't get rid of it. Never had this problem before.
Does the line appear all the time or just inside Firefox? If the line is on everything including your operating system interface (Win, Mac, Linux, etc) then you may want to try updating your graphics drivers, if that doesn't help it may lie in the monitor or in the graphics processor itself. Sounds like your graphics processor is either getting old or is over heating. Which is a sign its about to burn out. If its only in Firefox then it maybe a plugin you have installed or a toolbar that is not installed properly. Need additional information about your hardware to really troubleshoot that.

I have an iMac using OS X 10.4.11. Beginning several days ago, all incoming emails have, after the usual email header and before the message appears, one to two pages of technical data (e.g., Dkim-Signature, Domainkey-Signature, Content-Transfer-Encoding, etc.). This is similar and more complex that the info one receives when an undeliverable email bounces back. I don't know where this stuff comes from, or how it came, and I don't know how to get rid of it. Any ideas? I'm something of a newbie to computers (um, what's a Tag?).
That just sounds like the mail headers. Most people don't know (or care) about them so they're usually hidden.
Check Mail -> Preferences -> Viewing -> Show header detail
I'm guessing it's set to 'All'. Switch it to 'Default' or None as you prefer. -
I don't know why but somehow my imovie has dissapraed off my desktop when I want to be working on it.

I then click on a name for a new project and then the app just disspears again inot the top right corner of my screen and I do not know how to get it back? This is is the first time this has happened.

Hi Emily,
In Pages '09, I'd suggest trying the View menu. I don't know how that corresponds to Pages for iOS.

If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself. -

screen just froze up in middle of netflix show...has the image on screen. Don't know how to get rid of it,start over.
I was able to reboot...thank goodness..because this morning the screen was still frozen on the Netflix movie...full screen and no options to do anything. So the first option was not going to work for me.
By the time I got to work the dead battery was showing...even though it had been plugged in all night...
So then I looked at the Apple website to make sure I knew which was the Sleep key...and then did the reset and it worked. It's at 2% right now and I assume it's charging....I cleared out the Safari cache and closed it up.
Option 2, the reboot with Sleep and Home buttons worked...once I held them long enough!
Many, many thanks.

I don't know the name of it but a toolbar at the top of the window has disappeared after I restarted Firefox. It contained add-ons such as Download Helper and I don't know how to get it back. Please help. Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry I meant the "Save Complete" add-on, not Download Helper.Be sure "Add-on Bar" is checked (click on "Add-on Bar" to check or un-check)

I thought that my account had been hacked and that might be the reason I could not get my 2 different e-mails. Also, at the same time this happened, I could not get into Internet Explorer. I could still get into and use Open Office during the above problems
Thank you for the info re. the main menu. Your answer I used worked; however, the menu bar all the way across is solid black. The only way I can find out the names on the menu is to point the cursor from left to right over the black bar to find "file" "edit" tools", etc. What do I need to do to get these menu titles to be seen?
As regarding the GMail --the menu bar used to have an envelope symbol which was white and outlined in red. That disappeared. I googled "mail.google.com" to try to get back my email. This didn't work. I then tried to get a different email address and password--after 8-19 attempts, this never worked. My other email (sbcglobal.net) has never returned. So I don't know where that went or how to get it back -
The display on my 6th Generation Nano has flipped sideways, and I can't figure out how to get it to flip back.
Place your fingers onto the screen and gently (but firmly!) drag the screen around to the upright position.
Hope this helps. -
My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
Sincerely,

A friend of my daughter's used my mac computer when she got her new iphone to help set it up. Now that I have a new iphone, her apps and all the app store information is stuck on my phone. Her app account keeps showing up when I try to install something new, and I obviously do not have her password. How do I get this off my phone??
Open iTunes on the computer. Without any iPhone plugged in, go to iTunes' menu and do Store > Sign Out.
The click the iTunes Store row on the left of the iTunes display. You can then sign on from the signon row on the right side of the display using the correct Apple ID and password. Then you'll be all set! -
