Backlight bleeding smack center – can't even watch a movie decently!! Very frustrated

so two days ago, i noticed a green blob on the center of my X220 screen! There's a big one and two little ones beside it and it's getting really annoying as I can't even watch videos without those things appearing! I have TPP and still under warranty, but I just got my exterior replaced a month ago (side exterior began coming off, needed more glue? LOL) but anyway, I've had so many problems with this laptop!! The only best investment that I did was purchase a warranty for 3 years!! Gosh..... Lenovo is such a fail! Next time, i'm sticking with the ultra reliable macbooks!
Anyway, sorry for ranting! But what can I do???! This is such a hassle. Anyone else, going through this?

That will come down to your network.
What is your current connection, use speedtest.net
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, check signal strength and noise
On Apple TV go to settings - general - network - congifure DNS. Should be set to automatic.

Can't sync tunes from windows to my iPhone, can't even drag and drop. Very frustrating! Any ideas?

I can't sync my music or ringtones from my iTunes account to my iPhone. I can't even drag and drop songs! Won't let me update apps, without purchasing them again! Very frustrating! Help!

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

Let me try again, Chenks. I'm a technical person by profession, and so can get deeper into things like this, but I have not attempted to use these methods of communication in the past. I'm trying to get some feedback to Apple on their worsening a product and really messing with existing customer configurations. I'll try to break things up below.
1. Configuration:
Existing Apple TV and Mac Mini configuration in place since December 2010.
Three Apple TVs, one in Family Room for music and movies, one in Master Bedroom for music and movies, the third one in the Living Room for music only.
I'm using iTunes as library. (Probably an obvious statement, but wanted to mention that.)
2. Pre 4.2.1
No problems at any location since configuration finalized and all equipment installed in December.
Since December, Family Room entertainment equipment was updraded to a new Sony Bravia 3D, and a new Pioneer receiver. The Master Bedroom still has the original Toshiba 32HLC56 TV. That unit has only one HDMI input. I'm using the built-in speakers. This TV/Monitor is about fives years old.
3. Problem
I updated the software in two of the Apple TVs to 4.2.1. I updated the Family Room device and the Master Bedroom device. I had not updated the Living Room device.
After updating to 4.2.1, the Family Room equipment works fine. That's the location with the newer TV and receiver.
The Master Bedroom has different problems with different movies: e.g. "The Little Mermaid:" video, no audio. "The Lion King:" movie wont start at all.
Additionally, in the Master Bedroom some movies work fine, other movies start but immediately go into pause mode. Pressing pause button on Apple remote will not initiate start of movie, screen does "flicker" for a moment but movie does not start to play, showing only the last frame that had been streamed.
4. Not really a problem for me.
Fortunately for me, I had not updated the Apple TV in the living room so I used it to troubleshoot the problem. Initially I thought it was a defective Apple TV in the Master Bedroom. I took the unit to the Apple Store in town and they exchanged it for me. I brought the replacement Apple TV home but I did not install it immediately.
While testing the Master Bedroom set up once again to make it was working for our afternoon movie watching, I was again reminded that a software update was available. That message came up because it was the unit I had brought over from the Living Room. I proceeded to update the Apple TV to the new software version (4.2.1).
As soon as I "updated" the software in the Apple TV to the new 4.2.1, the same problems manifested themselves. At that point I suspected that the problem was with 4.2.1, and not with the hardware.
I called Apple Support and went through a series of troubleshooting techniques. We tested the Apple TV with the new 4.2.1 installed in it. This is the unit which originially in the Living Room. Under the direction of the Apple TV support technician, I used the Family Room gear and the Master Bedroom gear to try and isolate the problem to hardware or software.
We eliminated the following as potential problems:
a. TV speakers in the Master Bedroom
b. HDMI cable
c. Ethernet connection
5: Conclusion:
Fortunately for me, again, the Apple TV that the Apple Store had given me that morning still had 4.1.1. So I installed that unit in the Master Bedroom and everything started working normal again.
6. Side note:
An interesting observation: In early March I copied several movies from the Mac Mini to my iPad and some to my wife's iPad. All movies worked fine on our flight out and while we were away.
My wife recently (about a week ago) updated the software in her iPad. and now some of the movies that played just fine on her iPad are exhibiting the same problems as the Master Bedroom TV when it is connected to an Apple TV with software 4.2.1.
Apple has been trying to fix some problems in 4.2 when it released 4.2.1. I make that observation based on recent articles I found on the web. Most likely the Apple engineers were trying to fix things in one place and broke them in another.
Clear as mud, isn't it?
7. In closing:
I'm good to go, I just need to remember not to update the software in the Master Bedroom Apple TV. I want to keep that unit at 4.1.1. It's possible that Apple might come to the realization that they hosed things for some of us. Because I do have three units in my home, I can experiement with the other two units should a "fix" come out. I can then update one of the two devices, connect it to the Master Bedroom TV, and see if the problem was corrected. If not, I stay with 4.1.1. But I'm not convinced that Apple will see this as their problem, it's always easier to point elsewhere.

HT5731 can I begin watching a movie on itunes while it is still downloading?

Can I begin watching a movie I just rented while it is still downloading?

I believe that you should be able to, but if you don't have a fast Internet connection, the movie may pause while it is still being downloaded.

HT1657 If I rent a movie then turn off my internet conection can I still watch the movie.

If I rent a movie then turn off my Internet connection can I still watch a movie? Cuz. I won't to rent a movie now and watch it somewhere I don't have wifi?

I suddenly can't open Pages or access any of my .pages documents. I can't even reinstall Pages online. Very unpleasant!!!

Hi Peter
Thanks for your reply
Pages Version 5.1 installed recently online.
I quit Pages 3 days ago with the document I was working on.
I tried to open it today and no way to open Pages. Even rebooting my iMac.
It seems to be corrupted.
I cannot even reinstall Pages.
Thanks for your attention
Hope you will find a reply to my problem

Why can i not watch a movie in itunes

I downloaded a movie, and it goes to the main screen but will not let me actually watch the movie. When I checked to see if downloads were availabile, none were.

Can you elaborate on the issue?

HT1657 How can I accually watch the movie?

I have downloaded a movie but I can't watch my movie it says "TV out enabled Please Connect Video accesory" what is that?

Thanks varjak paw.
I was afraid this was the case. To the degree that Apple marches down this well-travelled road towards making money by trying to pound customers into submission with flashing ads, etc. that actually serve only to aggravate and drive away at least people like me (28 year user of macs) from both Apple and whatever is being advertised, and indeed get in the way of my being able to efficiently do what is my part of what I always thought was the core of the synergism between Apple and its customers -- them innovating to provide the best tools to help us to be creative and productive, then the company will find itself sharing that space with myriad other companies so bankrupt for ideas and innovation that they have no other possible strategy that to promote mindless consumerism. That does not seem a place of strength for Apple and a complete forfeiting of its unique position. Sad to watch.

HT4623 Why can't I update my iPad? Very frustrating.

I can not update my iPad. I can't even find iOS 5 in the app store.

If your are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software

Last year I would watch tutorials on my iPad and using my Apple TV view them on my tv. Since maverick I can't airdrop from my pad to my Apple TV ? I can't even watch purchased tutorials through my tv and would like to know if there was a way to get it bac

Way can't i do this now? Last year I would turn into creativeLive and watch tutorials on my tv using my Apple TV screening from my iPad . This was great. And allowed me to move around while learning. After Maverick that service disappear, I went into the apple store where I lived and they thought it was creativeLive not brought casting. But I have tutorials I have purchased that should be able to screen aren't showing up either. As this is important to me was wondering if there's something I can do to get it back before I go blind trying to study on the pad? Any help would be appreciated I bought the Apple TV precisely for this purpose, any one know why they changed a very helpful service?

Are it's amazing what going to the apple classes can do for you, lol the problem was air play has turned off no doubt when the upgrades were done, but thanks to the training apple gave me I was able to reason the problem out yah! I love my apple.

I want to keep my iteunes apple password stored on my apple tv device, so i do not have to enter it in front of people, every time I want to rent or purchse, or even watch a movie on my apple tv

I would like to keep my apple itunes store password stored on my apple tv device, so I do not need to re-enter it everytime I want to watch or rent a movie. it is uncomfortable to have to enter it in front of NON family members

I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
Let's start with Firefox's settings:
(1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
Related articles:
* [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
* [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
(2) Site-specific permissions
If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
(3) Form autocomplete suggestions
Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

Video orientation - why can't I watch a movie in 'portrait'

it just boggles my mind why I can't seem to figure out a way for this insanely COOL and expensive device called the iTouch can do everything but let me watch a video in portrait mode.
Since every docking station known to man only seems to allow you to view the i-device in portrait mode, this sure seems like one **** of a thorn in my side.
Is there a way to do this? I've checked through all the settings, but everything I upload including podcasts, only play in landscape.
WHY? it can veiw everything else in both modes.

No. Movies/tv shows/Youtube (edited) are displayed only in landscape.

HT1498 Can I start watching a movie before it is fully Downloaded?

Q

Yes you can. If you purchase a movie from the iTunes Store you can watch it as soon as it has enough buffer to start, normally just takes a few minutes.
