    i recently brought a iphone 3gs and had it unlocked then my boyfriend restored it to factory setting now my screen just has the apple icon stuck on it any suggestions as what to do?

    It is now locked to the original carrier. Sounds like that was Orange. Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize the unlock of the phone. You may be able to use it again on Orange, or if they provide unlock services you may be able to get it unlocked, however I have read of many phones that have been hacked to unlock not accepting the factory unlock. This support document will explain about some of the problems you have been having. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS

    Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS on my desktop. I just turned on my computer and it showed like this. I already tested my monitor and it's not the monitor.
    See a picture of my problem here on my me gallery:
    http://gallery.me.com/egarfias/100024
    Looking at websites, it's fine the display but any icons and my pointer and things that move have these lines following! Looking at VIDEO, it's the picture is full of white and black lines though you can see the video just fine.
    Any ideas? Thank you!!

    I am in Safe Mode now: This is the weirdest thing: A bit from column A AND B:
    The display is perfect EXCEPT for two parallel lines of 17, 3 millimeter-long black lines that follow the pointer everywhere it goes.
    Get this: my current display is 1024x768, but when I change it to 640x480, the pointer and everything is perfect! (of course, I can only see a fraction of my desktop)
    But then again... when I zoom in and out holding down control (in 640x480) the pointer lines appear again, but less lines. They disappear when I re-reset it to 640.
    Strange.
    But yeah, safe mode is NEAR perfect with the except of the cursor lines. I can screen grab my cursor though to show...

  • My black Box doesnt match the colour of the image it is sampled from when printed, suggestions?

    I have a black image covering half a page whilst placed next to it is a black box which has been sampled from the colour of the image, the CYMK are the same yet when printed the box comes out a different shade of black. suggestions?

    There are a couple of things that could be going on, and as an aside, trying to match a solid background to a sampled area in an image is seldom successfule as there is too much variability in the actual color in most images.
    The first possible issue is that the sample you are taking could be inaccurate. Are you sampling in ID or in Photoshop? You mentioned CMYK, and I don't believe ID will sample the CMYK in a placed image, but uses the preview instead. If you are sampling in Photoshop you are either sampling an average of the pixels in a square area, or a single pixel, depending on the eyedropper settings, and either choice is likely not to be truly representative in many cases. A further complication is if you are sampling an image that has a differnt color profile from the working space in ID.
    The other big possibility is that your printer uses what is know as a dual-layer  or CT-Line (for continuous Tone/Line art) processor and handles the raster image differently from the vector object created in ID. Theres a pretty good explanation of this in InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Eliminating YDB (Yucky Discolored Box) Syndrome

    Some of my applications have been saying I need the latest version of Adoebe Flash Player.  When I try to download it I get the following error message:  'Frame Load interrupted' and the installation stops.  Any suggestions?

    You can only use apps downloaded from the App store, not via a browser. There is no Flash for any iOS device including the iPod.

      Any suggestions on which version to download?

    There are no downloads(aside from updaters in Software Update.) You need to purchase a iLife 09 or earlier DVD or install iPhoto from the computer's original disks.

    I bought a iPhone 4 , which is unfortunate factory locked...
    What to do ? any suggestion plz economical solution required

    No, iPhone customer care, or Apple, cannot do anything about unlocking an iPhone.  Only the cellular phone carrier the iPhone is locked to can unlock it.  You need to contact the telephone company to get it unlocked.

    I have a 2007 black MacBook and upgraded the HD to 500gb. Now the processor lags. Any suggestions?

    Assume you haven't filled up your new hard drive, so it should have plenty of space. You didn't say what you're running when it lags, however, hard to connect new hard drive to causing processor lags. See this FAQ on OS X performance to see what can help.

  • When 40+ tabs are open, black boxes start randomly covering screen

    This is a weird one, and I couldn't find anything describing problems like it elsewhere.
    If I have about 40 or more tabs open, black stripes and blocks start covering the screen. If I move my pointer, they start forming more where the pointer goes. After maybe 30 seconds, if I move my pointer, the black areas go away where the pointer goes. Sometimes if I do nothing, all of the black areas go away on their own. It's almost as if Firefox can't render the page and it takes it that 30 seconds to regain the ability to do so. Bizarre!
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello rch427, try '''disabling graphics hardware acceleration'''. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows: click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''
    #In the Firefox Options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. '''Uncheck''' this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why does a black box now follow my display in Logic 8 after installing OS X Maverick?

    Today I idownloaded and installed Mac OS X Maverick 10.9.2 and now ,during playback in Logic Pro 8, a black box follows the playhead, making the display impossible to follow.
    This stops after I pause, but starts again as soon as I resume play. I did NOT have this issue before, so why now? My Imac is about 5 years old, but I have had no issues whatsoever until now. 2.4GHz Intel, 4 GB Ram. Not happy!
    On a side note, Maverick has made the entire system run at a snails pace, thus reducing the funtionality of Logic all together.

    This is a known issue with Logic 8 (and 9 up to 9.1.7) and Mavericks. There's no solution (that I know of) for it.
    Your choices are going back to a previous version of OSX or start using Logic X.

  • My screen goes black and computer freezes.  I know this is a software based problem.  Any suggestions?

    About a month ago I installed an Intego software package on my computer.  After it was installed my computer began to randomly freeze.  The freezing would start with the screen going black and then fans spinning up.  Closing the screen didn't help.  Only rebooting did.  I took my Macbook to a repair service and they said that the hardware was perfectly fine.  They recommended a full wipe and reinstall.  I have since uninstalled Intego and for about a week my computer seemed fine.  Since then, however it has started acting up again.  I'm thinking about doing the wipe and reinstall of ML but am hesistant.  Any suggestions what I can do to avoid that?

    Hello nattygrimm,
    I was looking into the issue you are describing and found a great resource to try and fix the issue without having to re install the OS. It is an article called Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199.
    I recommend starting here:
    The first and easiest test to try is to see if the issue affects a different user account on your Mac. Each user account has customized preferences and other items stored in its home directory. You'll first need to create an additional user if one does not already exist (follow steps a-h below). Then, log out of the current user and test the issue in the new user account.
    If this resolves the issue, there may be an issue with a file in the home directory of the original user account.
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Accounts (or choose Users if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
    Click "+" (or click New User if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
    Give the new user a name and short name.
    Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click the Password tab, and give the user a password.
    Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click Security.
    Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user account an administrator.
    Click OK, or quit System Preferences.
    Work your way down the article as needed.
    All the best,
    Sterling
