Blurry Screen HELP!!

Hey All,
I am new to the Mac world, and today is my first day using my new Macbook Pro -- but I am having a few problems. When I move my cursor over certain images it gets blurry, specfically the text, and I have to move it side to side over the same text to unblur things.
Has any one else had these problems?? I need some help, thanks.

Ok, I've just been going through some other threads here in the forum, and your solution to the problem is very likely at the end of this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1017281&tstart=15
In short, there may be some third party software that (presumably accidentally) turns on your display zoom function (it's normally turned off), resulting in this odd effect. You may also accidentally have hit the command-alt-8, the zoom-option short cut. (The poster in the aforementioned thread suspects Parallels: you don't happen to run that on your new MPB? I do, so perhaps it indeed is a bug in Parallels. Or even Windows. Would be hard to find out for sure though.)
Since you're new to the Mac world, here's how to turn it off: go to system preferences, find 'universal access' and turn off the Zoom option. Clear bright letters again!
Hope that works.

    Since my maverick update i now have blurry screen.
    writing is blurred and pictures are blurred, its like i need glasses to focus properly. any ideas????
    its like everything is out of focus
    HELPP!!!

    Do you see everything out of focus right from when the unit turns on, or only after getting to the desktop?  You should try a PRAM reset to start.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

    Do what you are being told. Plug the phone into a computer running iTunes and restore the phone.

    will getting a new screen help? or is there an easier, less expensive way?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod touch is disabled and has a passcode but it won't let me type in the passcode it's stuck on connect to iTunes screen help!!!!!

    My iPod touch 8th 3rd gen is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and won't let me do anything and iTunes won't restore it or do anything because there is a password on it and I can't type it in on the touch since it's stuck on this screen help please I've tried doin the power and menu button to restart it and it goes right back to connect to iTunes someone please helpme

    Try again placing the iPod in recovery mode.  It can be tricky. The computer should say it discovered an iPod in recovery mode.  Recovery mode bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod).  If not successful, try placing the iPod in DFU mode.

  • BootCamp 2.1 Update Blurry Screen

    hello,
    i'm running XP Pro SP2 fully updated on my macbook using BootCamp 2.0. i just updated to BC 2.1 via the Apple Software Update. It installed new drivers, but it has left my screen is blurry. i've check all the resolution settings and whatnot and everything seems to be fine. i believe there is something wrong with the driver. how can i fix this problem?
    thanks,
    aaron

    Thanks for this Info!
    I had the same issue with my Macbook. After installing Bootcamp 2.1 a blurry screen .
    Unfurtunately i could not install the ATI driver because the "Check" Tool from AMD denies to install drivers.
    I research the Intel website and found are more recent driver für my Intel chipset xx 965. After applying that driver everything was fine
    Here is the link:

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • Screen Help Component

    Hi,
    I would apprecite very much if somebody could explain me how to use a Screen Help component.
    Thanks in advance.
    AG

    There is not much to the inline help component. It is just like a static text field with some style automatically applied. Here is what the Delving Into Components tutorial says (http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/about_components.html):
    You use the Inline Help component to display short, help-type information on a page. Typically, you set the component's type property to field so that the help is in a smaller font and doesn't take up too much real estate.
