Anyone know what is wrong with my laptop?

Hi Matze_Moto,
It should not be an issue. What you are seeing is the ability to Mirror your display to an Apple TV. If you feel that there is an issue, click on the menu to see if it is actually connected to another display. Check out the article below for more information.

  • Shift icon in the top right corner of screen? Help please

    Hey everybody, I have a question here. I've been getting a random problem on my curve 9310, and was wondering if anyone else had the problem or knows how to fix it. In the top right corner of my screen there's an icon, and it looks like its the shift/caps key icon, just aA^ (up arrow). The touchpad works, and I can scroll around, but the touchpad button or the enter button to open an application does not work, nor do any of the other keys. If I pull the battery and restart the phone, its still been doing that, and if I don't touch it and the screen fades to black, when I touch the buttons, its like the phone is off. I had this problem earlier in the week and it fixed itself, but its been doing it again. Any ideas on whats causing this, or how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi chris644 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    This icon in the top right corner you are seeing indicates that the caps lock has been enabled. If you press the shift button again, this should remove the icon from the top of the screen.
    Thanks.

  • If I open Firefox all that comes up is a translucent page with only the minimize, maximize and close icons in the top right corner. How do I restore Firefox?

    There is no address bar, no error message, or anything at all but the three icons in the upper right corner. The entire page is just a giant translucent square with the three icons.

    hello MilaRowantree, can you try launching firefox in safe mode by pressing the shift key while it is starting and see if the issue is occurring there too? maybe a theme or hardware acceleration is interfering here...
    if safemode is working, you can try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general and or disable addons that might cause the problem. it also would be interesting which graphics hardware (adapter description, driver date & driver version) you are using - you can access this information in firefox > help > troubleshooting information towards the bottom of that page... thank you

  • What is this icon in the top-right corner?

    I'm running iOS 5.0.1 on an iPhone 4S and when I run iHandySoft's Quick Scan Pro application, I get an icon that I don't recognize which replaces the battery icon in the status bar. This icon looks like a box with an arrow pointing down and to the right. It also pulses.
    You can see the icon here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45904964/Photo%202011-12-18%2011%2004%2057%20AM.png
    Anyone know what this icon means?

  • HT1311 when I try to enter the security code for my credit card then I click the "done" icon in the top right corner of the phone my security code does not save

    title says it all...

    If all your creditcard details are correct, you should be able to login and make purchases.
    Please note however, that the security code (CVC code) can be asked by apple on several occassions (f.e. when you're using a device for the first time) to confirm you're the credit card owner.
    Hopefully my post helps you out. Please click the "This solved my question" or "This helped me" button if appropriate.

  • What does this symbol (in the top right corner of the screen) mean: a lock icon with an arrow encircling it?

    so there's this little icon at the top right corner of my iTouch 32GB (next to the battery icon) that's driving me crazy.
    can anyone tell me what it means, and how to get rid of it?
    much appreciated
    b.

    It is the Orientation lock.  To disable it or turn it off, double click your Home button and swipe your finger to the right on the Multitasking Bar.  Here you'll see the Orientation lock.  Tap it once to turn it off.

  • After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

    After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

    Interesting bug. I'm cautiously optimistic this will get rid of the weekly annoyance. The difference is that I bought my laptop back in Feb 2015, so it came with Yosemite. I think the issue may have appeared soon after an OS update not long after I got the thing, though. I was using a sudo command in the Terminal, but that is obviously not a fix.
    I wonder if there is a broken .plist file that may be fixed ...?

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

    Hello tomzmem,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    This situation does sound very frustrating. I know that you have tried some great troubleshooting steps already and the issue remains unresolved. Have you forced the Mail application to close and then opened it back fresh? If not, this is the next troubleshooting step I would suggest. Please let me know if the issue remains unresolved.
