MBA Gen2 and 20" external cinema + 10.5.6 same problem as 23"

I just started hooking up an Apple 20" cinema display to the 2nd Gen MBA and it appears if you allow the display to "sleep" then on wake there is the same tearing and snow issue that was reported in other threads with the larger displays that seems to be "fixed" in 10.5.6.
Anyone else seen this? Resolution is the same: put MBA to sleep and wake, or disconnect and reconnect the monitor.

Finally! I figured it out using this tutorial. Even though it's for VISTA my WinXP computer's My Documents folder was already setup to share. I'm still unable to figure out how to connect the old way from the PC but I actually find this to be just as good.

Before, when running 10.4.11, I would use the PC to connect to my Mac's Public Folder using Add Network Place and the Mac's TCP/IP address.
Now, running 10.5.6, I'm able to connect to the PC by using the PC's smb://(PC TCP/IP address here) path from the Finder/Go/Connect to Server menu.
This connects to My Documents folder on the PC running WinXP. I doesn't work the other way around going from the PC to the Mac.

If it's just the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store that you are having problems with, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

My iMac boots up and the mouse curser will move but nothing responds to the click. I was in the Apple store today and they reset the permissions, but still same problem. Help!!!

My iMac boots up fine and the mouse appears to be working fine however nothing responds to the mouse click. I took it to the Apple store today and they checked and repaired the permissions. I brought it home and still have the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, thanks for trying to help!
I just blew out the dust and turned it on again to the same problem.
So I tried holding the shift key which did something but then on reboot I got the same problem but this time worse, see here...
So I tried the alt key but that just gave me two startup disk options, both of which didn't work (they led to the same problem).
Then I tried CMD+s and followed your instructions, see below...
I just held the power button down and turned it on again and the same problem happened again.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks!

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

TS3367 FaceTime not working on my ipad. Also iPlayer on the ipad tells me insufficient bandwidth and so I presume it is the same problem. However, iPlayer is working well on my Apple laptop and desktop. Any suggestions.

From what I read, this issue is affecting mostly users with iOS 6 installed on their devices. If you are able, upgrade to iOS 7. My mom called me yesterday with the same issue, upgraded, then it worked fine for her.
If you are not able to upgrade, you'll probably have to wait for Apple to fix whatever is affecting iOS 6.

Since last update, cursor has a mind of its own and friends with Firefox are having the same problem.

About three weeks ago I dowsnloaded an update from you. Since then, whenever I type in MSWORD or in my Yahoo email account, the dursor jumps all over. In the beginning I did not have any idea what could be wrong. At a meeting the other evening, I mentioned the problem I was having and learned that several other people were having the same problem. The only thing that all the computers had in common was the Firefox down load. While typing this the cursor has jumped 14 times.

Sometimes it is such as when I am working on emails. Other times it is not as when I am working with my word processor. Also, for your information I am running a Dell laptop INSPIRON 1521 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

2009 iMac Blue lines and crashing - Apple replaced graphics card but same problem occurs? Any advice?

Hi all,
So Ive had my iMac 2009 model for a fair few years, and barring getting the hard drive replaced a while part as part of their program, no troubles. Then a month or less ago, I got this weird crash during work. Small cubes of vertical blue lines appeared all over the display and froze everything. The arrow cursor still moved but had to hard reset. Then it would just constantly freeze and the blue cubes appeared again on startup so I could only get in using Safe Mode.
After browsing the web, I heard a backup restore might fix it, which it seemed to, but then it kicked in again. Took it to Apple who could see no hardware issues and the problem didnt occur while I was there because of the restore, it was more intermittent. So I took it home and it happened again.
This time at the Apple Store, they told me it was definitely the graphics card and took it in for repair. Service was great and a few days later I get it back, pay for the repair and come home. All fine and no problem for a couple weeks.
Yesterday it kicks in again! Same problem, cant boot at all outside of Safe Mode, which is erratic, has 5 columns of blue lines across the screen and Mail flickers like ****.
Ive booked it in AGAIN at my local store to check, but my question is does anyone have experience of what this could be, and also if the first repair was wrongly diagnosed and didnt fix the problem, will Apple refund that, or offset it against the actual repair if something else needs replacing?
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, all the best!
Leo

new card or not, I guess only Apple themselve will know, but Apple Authorised Service Centre can only replace with original card. you may consider to get your fan replaced too, as your iMac is getting old now and the fan might be getting weak to cool your system down.
well, this is only a suggestion. I've been an IT technician for years, and I do encountered graphic card keeps failing till we changed the fan, just sharing my experience.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can do it, but it's not recommended to use a Time Machine volume to store other files. In this case, you can create a second volume on the external drive, so you will be able to use it to store data and transfer it to other PCs.
As you are going to use the external drive with other PCs, you can make the volume and format it in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Finally, you will be able to copy files to the external drive.
If you copy files to a Time Machine disk, you may damage the Time Machine file structure, so you shouldn't do it. It may not happen, but it's better not to try that. Also, you won't be able to read the Time Machine drive in a PC

That may be an incompatibility between Hotmail and Firefox 10.

I have tried loads of headphones and on them all i have the same problem only one ear i can get sound out of can this be fixed?

Has anyone else had this problem?
My ipod has been working perfectly for years and all of a sudden i have gone through three sets of headphones at least in the last month, i have discovered that it is a problem with where the headphones go......no idea what the name of it is so can anybody please help me dont really want to get a new ipod as this is perfect bar this one thing....thanks

Try to play it on a iPod Docking station, if it is okay, then you need to clean the iPod earphone jack hole, with paper clip, entwined with wool soaked in a small amount of alcohol.
Or just blow a jet of compressed air into the hole, if you got those camera kit with a rubber air pump.
If it is still one sided, on the iPod dock, then, does the same song, play normally on the iTunes?
Have a nice day!

I have my grandfather's old computer. I have deauthorized his account and authorized mine, it still only has his music and won't allow me to access his. So I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, only to have the same problem on the new iTunes. Help?

It still has all his music, even though it is supposedly "deauthorized" and won't work with my iPod without erasing my information. Has anyone encountered this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it?

Yeah... that's how it works. Signing into iTunes does not magically make a library appear.
If you have an iTunes library (media purchased from iTunes) then YOU need to put it on the computer.
Also, since the computer is no longer authorized for his account, any media associated with his account will not be playable.

Your latest upgrade states that it is incompatible with my Avast Virus protection and others who have McAfee have the same problem. Does this mean if we update Firefox it will interfere with our virus software?

Your new recommended update appears incompatible with my and other's virus protection. How can we be sure we can safely navigate if your security on the older versions of firefox are lifted? It seems that many people are having this problem and have said they will return to Internet Explorer. Please advise as I prefer Firefox but cannot take the chance of malware and other infections. I would appreciate a hasty response.

No, it doesn't affect your anti-virus program, only the silly little extensions that some anti-virus applications install into Firefox that duplicate features which are built into Firefox = anti-phishing & web forgery protection.
