Blue pixels appear on screen when warm...

Am looking at buying a used 12" 867Mhz G4 Powerbook. The seller states that "there is only one issue with the laptop, when it gets warm blue pixels appear in certain areas of the screen."
Does anyone have any ideas on this... quick fix? or is the screen getting ready to die?
Thanks in advance...

Blue Pixels appearing? hmmm, not good---take a look and see how many and if it is distracting -- there are pixel pix programs you can try and use, however, LCD screens are know for a dead pixel here and there. Whats weird is that the pixels are blue? Usually when a pixel dies, its colorless. If you are getting a great deal on the PB (as in real cheap) and the lixel issue isnt to bad -- then take a shot at it. You always get what you pay for.

What can i do about my iphone that has a blue tint to the screen when i have sunglasses on?

That sounds like an issue with the sunglasses and possible polarization...there is nothing that you can do to offset that on the iPhone itself.

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

We are all users here. You are not talking to apple on these forums. There is no way anyone here can know the decision making process apple uses to determine what changes to make to the operating system. Also none of use care about which phone you might buy next.

TS4148 Why cant my stored names appear on screen when they call but rather only numbers

why cant my stored names appear on screen when they call
no sim icon seen on my phone

For names to appear on the screen of the phone when calls are received, the carrier has to support caller ID, and the caller ID information has to match what is saved in the contact exactly. If this is not working, you will not see the name.
Not sure what you are asking regarding SIM icon.

The vibrate symbol that appears on screen when turning vibrate on, continually appears on my screen and vibrates all day. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

Horrible Blue Bands appear on screen after Mavericks update

Hi there,
I recently upgraded to Mavericks and was greeted with a horrible strip of vertical blue bands across the screen with shimmerings in places that are grey.
When I attempt using Photoshop, all my gradients were appearing as low res bands.
My videos are worse hit as they all appear in low res.
Please, is anyone out there with a solution for me? I am a Graphic Designer and the concept of guessing colors right now is not healthy. Help me.

White pixel appearing in screen in upper left corner when using fullscreen

hi,
Whenever I use fullscreen a white pixel will appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
The pixel is also appearing in a screenshot, so it must be software.
Last week I did a clean install on my mac, and only put my files back (not the preferences). But I have the same problem again.
When I delete the loginwindow.plist and log off and in again, the problem is gone. But will reappear when my mac will go to sleep and wake again (or restart).
Can anybody help me fix the problem?
Thanks!

I suddenly had the same problem (little white pixel in very top left of screen)
Resetting the PRAM fixed this for me.
Resetting PRAM:
Start up computer hold down CommandOption+PR
Hold until 2nd startup sound
Hope it works for you!

Do Not Disconnect does NOT appear on screen when plugged in w/ USB

Please help! I have updated over 300 songs on my 30G ipod. After about a week of not putting any songs on, I went to connect the ipod, and it was frozen on the Do Not Disconnect logo. I reset it immediately and it was okay. Now, when I connect it to the computer, Itunes does not recognize my ipod. Cannot update anything to myipod. And the Do Not Disconnect logo does not appear when connected...........Does anyone know what I have to do? I tried already resetting it and still nothing happens. I don't want to reinstall itunes, b/c I don't want anything lost......Thank you!!

White pixels appear on dark areas on rMBP

Since 10-12-12 there suddenly appeared small, single pixel, white dots on web pages and other applications with darker areas. Many of the dots come in pairs and move with the image, ruling out display problem.
I took into the Apple store and the tech determinded that it was an OS problem and suggested I reinstall the OS. To come to this conclusion the tech ran several tests including screen display and external OS tests.
After I installed a new OS, the problem persisted. The next step was to call AppleCare and see what else could be done. They suggested a completer erase and clean install of the OS... no better.
I was able to restore to a backup post pixel problem and now waiting on a solution. Anyone else...?

My iPhone caller image is still appearing full screen instead of in the right-hand corner,even though I've assigned the images to them on my mac.

I had originally assigned images to my contacts through my iPhone which made them appear full screen when recieving/making a call, but now I want the images to appear in the top-right corner. I've assigned all new photos to override the old photos through my Address Book on my Mac, but they still continue to be full screen. Can anybody please explain to me what's going on? I'm an intermediate-advanced user. Thanks!

You did not try what I provided. There is a difference between syncing and replacing.
As with MobileMe, there should be an option with iCloud to replace info on cloud with what is available in the Address Book - all at once. This may not make any difference in this regard.

Why do some pages not appear on screen?

My wife is using the latest version of Keynote. Apparently some pages of text are not appearing on screen when she gives presentations in schools. This has happened across several projectors but the presentation runs fine on the computer! I have met problems like this with video codecs but never just basic pages of text. I presume that things like fonts are irrelevant in this context?

Thanks for this. My wife can't remember which version she used to create the presentation. She still has both versions on board but this sometimes creates issues when she is in a classroom. I had suggested that the newer version was now maturing but it sounds like she will still need to keep both versions installed. I wonder if content could be copied and pasted into the newer version to overcome this problem? Once again thanks for your help.

Sudden list of years appears on screen...pleas help!

I am on osX 10.8.4 on my 9 month old macbook pro and i suddenly get a list of years appearing on screen when i bring the macbook out of sleep. The only way to make it go away is to reboot or put it to sleep again. I have no clue whats going on....please help! What's going wrong?

You might have some kind of program running in startup, though that seems like a pretty worthless program. First step is System Preferences / Users & Groups. Check the login item list.
This might help too.
