Will not display on most monitors.. very frustrating..

I purchased my MBA a couple weeks ago and have successfully been able to connect 1 monitor (over VGA).
I have tried two projectors (neither will work, although it will detect both of them) and it will not connect to my Viewsonic at home (both my other macbook and macbook pro work fine on it).
It's extremely frustrating.. I'm finding this MBA to be the most flakey laptop I've ever owned.. Anyone have and advice?

Have you found the solution to your problem? I tried to connect it to my Viewsonic VG2030wm and so far it cannot detect the display

Creative Cloud will not load and it is very frustrating

I have recently downloaded Creative Cloud to download photoshop CC. When I open creative cloud all I see is a blue loading circle constantly spinning and it won't load. I am very frustrated with this and I hope to fix it soon. Thanks in advance for all of your answers

And if someone could provide a link just to download the Photoshop CC trial version that would be great. It's really all that I need Creative Cloud for.

MacBook will not display on external monitor in clamshell mode

System information:
13 in. MacBook (2.4Ghz Intel 2-Core)
10.6.7
External Display connected with Apple DisplayPort VGA adapter
Apple Wireless Keyboard
Generic wireless mouse that connects to a USB stick plugged into the MacBook
This is dirving me nuts because it was working perfectly until about 2 weeks ago. I was following the pocess outlined here. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131
Here is what happens now:
MacBook display and external monitor are in mirroring mode. All devices are powered on and plugged in.
Close MacBook lid. MacBook goes to sleep. Blinking LED.
Hit spacebar on the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. The LED changes to steady on. However, the external display never shows the desktop. I've tried Command-F1... nothing.
If I open the lid again... the MacBook goes back to sleep.
I then have to pull out the DisplayPort VGA adapter to wake the MacBook up again.

You could try resetting the SMC and see if that helps.

External Monitor will not display full view MS apps.

I have a HDMI monitor that was previously working fine. The other day I went to use Word and Excel and the applications would only appear in the lower toolbar. When I would select them they would not enlarge. They remained in a thumbnail view. My email and Internet work as expected. Any ideas what's causing this?

I was recently sent a very large emoji message amd now when i try to acces messages it will not display mesagges and then will bring me back to the home page

was recently sent a very large emoji message amd now when i try to acces messages it will not display mesagges and then will bring me back to the home page

Quit the messages app and reset your phone.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
After the phone restarts go into Messages and delete the thread containing the problem message.

Source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half

I have adobe premiere pro cs6 and source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half. So the top half of both monitors are black and the bottom half is where the video displays. But you can see that the video is missing the top part. Like people's heads are cut off and can only see body. How can i fix this so premiere pro cs6 will use the full monitors boxes to display my video?

This is a known issue with a recent Windows update.

My Ipad will not display song lyrics

I upgraded to ios 5 and it will not display song lyrics for songs that I put lyrics in for.
any ideas?

I tried Lyrics View but it didn't work well for me. It listed music by song title, there was no way to change that to list by artist or album, and it was difficult to select a song to listen to; often a different one would play than the one highlighted.
Pauser Pro works better but it's still frustrating. I do enjoy being able to see lyrics again, but music is listed alphabetically by song title rather than by artist or album, and there is no preference panel which lets you change that by default. If you want to hear all the songs on a specific album and you select the artist, you get an alphabetized list of his or her songs with a blue cross to the left of each. Clicking All Songs places them on a list, which you can then click on to play a specific song. But you have to put the songs in that list first, and I was unable to make separate lists for each artist; attempts to do so led to them all being placed at the end of the first list.
I was finally able to make up a Playlist using a specific genre on iTunes on my computer, transfer it to my iPad, and then access it through Pauser Pro, but the artists were again mostly mixed up and it took a very long time to rearrange them by artist so I could select one and hear all the songs by one person or group. Of course, after that it continues to the next artist on the list, but at least I don't have to keep fiddling with it while I'm busy doing something else and just trying to enjoy some music.
I contacted the developer about these issues and essentially was told that the app was primarily developed for professionals performing on a stage and that it worked well for that purpose. I'm still not clear on how to create discrete lists in one wished to do that, though.

My macbook pro will not detect any external monitors

Early 2011 15inch MacBook Pro not displaying on external monitor

I have an early 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro and I tried to connect it to a Samsung U28D590D 4k display. My computer is recognizing it as a monitor and saying that the output resolution is 2560x1440, which is what I expected considering my graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB and my chipset is an AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256VRAM. I just don't know why its not displaying on the monitor. Any help will be very appreciated.

i did manage to get a little step further and get my mac to ask about resolutions but it still won't appear on the monitor

My iphone 4 (running iOS 4.3.3) will not display my music library

It all started when I wanted to add a new song to my library. I forgot how to add it and accidently clicked sync, but then remembered that it would erase my library so I canceled it early. After that my phone froze, I restarted and this is where I am at now.
My music library only shows up in iTunes when my phone is plugged into my PC and it shows that my muisc library is still all there, as seen here:
When its not plugged in and I goto to my iPod App, this is what I see and it doesnt change!:
Oh and it also will not display my photo library on my phone and it also says its updating and is stuck there.
What can I do to fix this? I have had no problems with this phone yet and this is very frustrating. Everything else on the phone is in wokring order though.. calls messaging and purchased apps
thank you
Bryan

Do these other individuals actually have iDevices?
Are they having issues sending/receiving messages from others?
Can they successfully send a message to you?
Honestly, nothing about what you describe sounds like an issue with your device or Apple ID.

Firefox will not display certain features of websites in windows 8.1

I've upgraded to windows 8.1. Installed Firefox (now ver. 26) right away. I go to the same websites to pay bills, do work stuff etc for the past few years.
Those websites work fine most of the time. RANDOMLY (at least to me) 2 websites have been giving me trouble for certain features:
1. Banking website will not display my online bill pay. It does not crash, it just says "unable to display page" and for me to check my firewall etc, reload page, etc. When I go to other features for my bank, it works fine except for the bill pay.
2. My work website has a feature to display paychecks etc. It give me the same message of "unable to display".
Here's the weird thing: I open and close firefox a few times and the page "magically" works.
I load the same page in IE 11 and I have the same problem.
I load the same page in chrome 32.0.1700.107m and I never have this problem.
I load the same pages in firefox ver. 26 on a windows 7 machine and it work just fine.
I'm at a loss since Firefox is my primary browser and only have the other browsers for the occasional incompatibilities.
Any ideas? I've concluded that it's a windows 8.1 issue/compatibility but would like to try other solutions before I downgrade back to windows 7.
FYI: I've turned off windows firewall and the same issue still occurs. I've updated to the latest adobe flash, shockwave, and Java. I only have one extension installed - adblocker (which is disabled for these websites).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Images will not display, please help

Hi,
I have built a couple of sites, one with tables one CSS where
my banners will not display on my screen when I view the site
online. The sites are:
www.gnewt.co.uk &
www.getouthavefun.co.uk
The banners are visible on some other computers online, but
not all and the images display fine when i preview the site not
online but in Firefox or IE. I have tracked the problem down to
this, online when I right click where the image should be
displaying it says the filename etc and for dimensions says:
Image Dimensions: 1px × 1px (scaled to 950px ×
120px)
Size of File: 0.04 kB (43 bytes)
I can right click and download the image to my desktop from
the ftp and it will display fine, so it must be an html problem. I
have been using templates and have uploaded a version not attached
to a template and that makes no difference, I have also tried
differing filetypes such as gif and png, again no change.
Furthermore if you put in the incorrect URL for the image, at least
then it displays the Alt Text.
The html code is very basic:
<img
src="banners/2.jpg" alt="banner" name="Banner" width="950"
height="120" border="0" /></td>
SO the image is there somehow but the browser thinks its only
1px across, if you put in plain text it displays fine? Can anyone
help me with why this happens as I have tried everything I can
think of - i'm not particularly good with html so it could be
something elementary
Thanks in advance

>name="Banner" --><img src="banners/2.jpg"
alt="banner"
Sounds like the work of Norton. Don't ever use the word
'banner' in any part of your images. Rename the image and alt text
and see if that works.

Photoshop CS6 content (pictures, etc) will not display (or only partually) on the stage.

I just purchased and loaded Photoshop CS6. Pictures (actually this is for all content in any layers) will not display at all or only partually display (see picture below). I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but there is no change. The other Adobe products from the Master Suite Collection run fine (Flash, Encoder, etc). I am thinking that my instalation disc may be corrupted. Can you give me any advice?

Most likely the video card driver. Update it in GPU makers website. Need make and model of video card.

TS3274 My ipad display will not function, the screen will not display anything when turned on, you can see that the screen lights up but it is completely black

The screen on my iPad will not display, the screen lightens up when powered on but the screen stays black, any fix for this that I can do at home?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
