Blurry Text, Screen Jump/Shift, Waterlogged Look at Top??

I've been having some problems with my 23" Monitor lately. I noticed recently when brought up in firewire the top of the monitor has a waterlogged type stain in the pixels, they aren't dead but discolored. Today i have been having worse problems though, Random sections of the screen are blurry. This is mostly noticeable over text but everything blurs, its not just strictly the text. I have also noticed a slight jump or shift with the entire screen horizontally when moving the mouse from one side to the other. I don't know whether this is likely a problem with the monitor or my graphics card but any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

My monitor was doing this too. Our tech guy figured this out. The "zoom" feature had been turned on by accident. The "zoom" feature causes the screen to shift with mouse movement and the text to be blurry in certain places.
It can be found under: System Preferences>System>Universal Access>Zoom. You just need to turn it off.
Hope this fixes your problem.

Screen jumping / pixel shifting screen HELP!

hi folks,
I've trawled through the discussions to see if I can find a solution to this problem with no luck, so now I'm posting a fresh thread to see if anyone can help me...
My screen display is jumping/shifting about 1-2mm when I move the mouse up or down. I first noticed this in my web browser but now its happening on the desktop and in all my applications. It's a horizontal shifting. The only part of the display not affected is the top most menu bar.
This is causing me major problems for my design work and the constant 'flickering' is giving me headaches. Any help appreciated before I think about getting a new computer.
TIA

PS: I just took some screenshots to illustrate the problem and it doesn't show up on them which is really odd.
Also my husband came and looked at my screen and confirmed it's not just my eyes seeing this problem.
Reboot doesn't help at all and it's been over a week now since it started.

Lumia 925 blurry text while scrolling

Noticed that my lumia 925 has a blurry text while scrolling, specially when scrolling white text over black background or black text over white background... also noticed some blurry when scrolling tiles on the home screen, this blurry occurred around the black horizontal lines separating the tiles.... compared the scrolling with the 920 and there is a huge difference...
I read that some of the galaxy S4 units has this problem and that this problem related to Samsung AMOLED screens, and you know the lumia 925 has a Samsung AMOLED screen.
Any one has these issues? let me know in comments please..

I have the same issue with L1020.
I am extremely annoyed and disappointed at Nokia for messing up the PERFECT display of L920.
After using L920 for months and laughing at lower quality displays of other phones, this L1020 display feels like those typical phone displays.
Are nokia engineers so incompetent or everyone of them have vision issues that you ship a phone with such s**t quality?

Iphone 6 plus screen jumping when touched

Seems like since I updated my phone with the latest update the screen jumps all over the place. It is really becoming annoying. Also I have noticed that occasionally the screen scrolls all the way down leaving a black area at the top of the screen

Hello there, Zara2aj.
When renting movies on your iOS device, the following Knowledge Base article explains where to locate it and the availability of that rental on other devices:
FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
Where can I find movies that I rented?
Find your movie on the device you used to rent it. Follow these steps:
Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
Apple TV:
2nd or 3rd generation: Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
1st generation: Go to Movies > Rented Movies.
Where can I watch movies that I rented?
Mac or PC
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (with iOS 3.1.3 or later)
iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation)
TV using Apple TV
Watch your movie on the device you used to rent it. If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Responsive Scaling Blurry Text

Hi all,
I've been having a lot of problems with the built in responsive scaling but have found work arounds for all my issue's except one, the blurry text. I presume it's common that people find text becomes a little blurry when responsive scaling is implemented (on certain browsers). Is there a work around for this to prevent it from happening? I have done a lot of searching but not found anything at all, other than a comment by adobe that it's a browser issue.
Thanks

Hi there,
Here is the practice site i've been working on:
COMPCADEMY - Computer Systems
If you look at this site using Chrome for example much of the text is not crisp at all. If you load it in Internet Explorer though it's perfect.
Thanks

Fuzzy/blurry text in Captivate 7

Hi alll,
We recently upgraded from Captivate 6 -> 7. Usually we use transparent text boxes for text, and when publishing in Captivate 7, the text gets blurry/fuzzy, regardless of color, size, font etc. We had the same problem in an earlier version of Captivate (I think maybe it was Captivate 3), and the workaround then was to highlight at least one charachter within each text box, but this does not work in Captivate 7.
Funny thing is that if I just drag the generated .htm file into my browser window, the text is crisp and clear, but when I run the same module from our LMS, it all gets blurry and fuzzy.
Any help to avoid this would be very appreciated.

Captivate text displaying blurry has been an issue since day one. I've had to deal with it and spend dozens of hours of R&D to try to figure it out... and as you see I'm still searching for an answer. It seems soooo simple but it must be extremely complex because Adobe just can't figure it out! It was the same thing in Flash. We are a global org producing e-learning for fortune 500 companies and at one point Captivate was our most used tool. Due to this issue and a bunch of others, our shop is now doing 75% of our projects in Storyline, 20% in Lectora, and we have ZERO clients asking for Captivate for the last 2 years. When a client spends tens of thousands of dollars on a project, they don't want to have to look at blurry, jagged text. I wish it wasn't this way because I am a highly experienced Cp developer now having to learn Storyline. But Adobe has either ignored this issue or just cannot fix it. In the image below, you can see the differences in the way Captivate displays text and the horrifying difference between Cp and Flash that I just don't get. That one causes a huge issue when we drop Flash stuff in a Cp slide and are required to stay consistent with font type and size.
Keep in mind, the problem everyone is frustrated about is mainly text that uses Transparent style caption. It appears better when in a styled caption bubble. The blurry text issue can be somewhat fixed by applying a white highlight on all the text. Although, it is still not what we are looking for. And, this extra step in development is painful, costly, and there is always a few that we miss and then we get complaints, etc.
Man, that first one is just nasty!
One last thing I discovered that works, but not all of the time, is that if you create a dummy variable with no value, then put your text in a transparent text caption, add a few spaces at the end and then insert that variable, you will see crisp, clean text as if it was html. Again, too much work and not a consistent solution!!
Hope that helps for those who are new to captivate, and for those like me, who have lost too many hours of precious life and money on this.
See ya, have to continue my Storyline training now...

Looking up definitions on the screen using Apple Dictionary? What application? Using shift+command+4, capture what you are referring to, and then use the camera icon in this posting toolbar to include it in your response.

Blurry Text and Incorrectly rendered colors in 8,1

Ok...I'm at my wits end with this lap top. I have tried everything. I fixed it once...for about 48 hours, and then it went right back to the way it was.
Problem: My laptop (HP Envy with windows 8.1) exhibits the common blurry text problem that everyone complains about. However, there's an additional problem with mine. The colors are all off. Reds show up as greens, greens show up
as reds. It's a mess. I can't even watch a movie on this thing cause it looks like a different planet!
I have downloaded all the newest latest greatest drivers for my graphics card. I have went to the manufacturers website and searched for drivers and downloaded them. I originally had W8. I downloaded and installed W8.1. No change.
My graphics card is the AMD Catalyst. I upgraded it.
When I fixed this thing the first time, I THINK the thing that did it was to go into Control Panel to uninstall programs. My AMD catalyst, when I clicked on it gave the option to "repair". So I hit that. When I restarted...my
colors and text were perfect. For about two days. Now it's back to it's former crappyness. I tried that again to no avail.
I've tried all the "de-scaling" crap that has been suggested on various forums. Nada.
Someone please help me with this. I'm deployed overseas and my laptop is my lifeline over here.

Go through the step by step instructions as sited here:
How-To Uninstall AMD Catalyst™ Drivers From A Windows® Based System
There is also a
standalone uninstallation utility will clean your system of any existing AMD Catalyst drivers to prepare your PC for the clean installation of a new driver version.
Once the driver uninstalled visit AMD's website to download and install the latest compatible driver.
Right click your desktop.
Choose AMD Catalyst Control Center
Locate 3D Application Settings (under gaming)
Locate Morphological Filtering.
Make sure it is off.

Screen jumping in Mission Control after wake

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Air running Lion. It's a fantastic machine and I'm enjoying using it very much. One small issue that I've noticed occurs over half of the time after I wake it from sleep, either by opening the clamshell or hitting the keyboard/mouse click. I usually have two desktops and a few full-screen apps open in mission control, and what happens is immediately after wake the screen switches from whatever desktop or app I was using to some other desktop or app, as if I'd swiped the trackpad left/right with three fingers. This is kinda frustrating because the app that I was last using is usually the app I want to use when the computer wakes up again and so I have to go into Mission Control and navigate back to it.
I've searched google and various support forums using keywords like "Mission Control wake switching problem", but have come up short. I can't be the only one experiencing this, can I?
The only other factor that might be relevant is that I migrated all the data from my 2008 Macbook running Snow Leopard to this Macbook Air running Lion. Maybe some of my Exposée/Spaces preferences are interfering invisibly with Lion's Mission Control? I think thats how I've still got double-tap-and-hold to drag enabled, which I am very happy about.
Thanks for any attention or help you can offer.

I googled so many iterations of terminology for the issue for so long before coming across this. I have an 11" air on ML and have this issue. I didn't notice the issue under lion, but it has been there since I upgraded to ML and persisted through all updates. I just did the 2nd air update to bringing my system to OS X 10.8.2 (12C3006).
After I put it to sleep, it's set to wait 5 minutes before requiring password.
Sometimes it's hard to reproduce at will, but it seems to occur after the Macbook has been asleep for at least 15 or 20 seconds and will happen until some indeterminate time thereafter (or in my case 5 minutes max, but still not always that long, and never after requiring pass).
My screen either shifts back to the main desktop or one fullscreen app/desktop to the left (no discernible pattern on that one).
Nothing shows up in console as this occurs that seems related.
I had some other complaints about airplaying video and general graphics performance (my late 08/2009 13" macbook performs subjectively better despite being objectively only 50-75% as fast), so after doing everything conceivable to troubleshoot the issue (including multiple re-formats and re-installs), I took it in.
Since this was the only thing I could readily reproduce that was outright wrong (they wouldn't even look at airplay and dismissed UI stutter), everything was based on this. We couldn't reproduce it on the others in store after setting them up identically, so they said they'd take it to check further. Initially they did nothing but a diagnostic and tried to give it back to me (I had to wait three days with no contact for that!). The girl claimed they had made some sort of software change, but after I got it home, it was readily apparent that they'd done nothing. I brought it back in that same evening (somewhat irked at that point), and they took it back promising they'd send it off to the next tier or whatever and make sure I was in the loop along the way. After several more days with no contact they tell me it's ready. This time they say they've changed the logic board (which I'm inclined to believe they did since I got an email saying my account had been logged into by a 13 inch air right after I reinstalled and put in iCloud info — are the mobos the same size between the two?) They did that and gave it back to me, rattled off some bs about it "probably being within specification" (aka "we don't know; please go away"), and sent me on my way.
Yet again I was able to reproduce, so I reformatted again. Issue seemed to be gone, but I just noticed it back again. Initially I thought I had traded issues. After the replacement my screen stays black for 15-20 seconds after trying to wake before giving pass screen (only after it's been asleep long enough to enter standby).
So after all of that, unless there's an issue with the SSD, this would seem to be purely a software bug, and one specifically with ML at that. I don't believe there's third party influence because I've been able to reproduce on almost completely clean installs of ML. I'm pretty sure I've done it on completely clean, but I know for a fact I've reproduced it with only Chrome and Pages installed. The only other thing that could be of influence is that I synced iCloud stuff, but when I took it to Apple store we created a new user and were able to reproduce there.
This bug is particularly irksome because I shut my macbook any time I think I'll be leaving it alone (for battery), but am somewhat inclined to open it again for something right as the window starts for this to happen (but not long after unless I'm going to wait more than 5 minutes, which is why I'm not sure how long the window is).
So I know a lot of this is ranting, and ultimately doesn't really help, but I didn't just want to say "me too."

CS6 problem. When I open the Mask panel, it takes up the entire screen width and the Looks controls disappear, Also, there is a new panel below the Mask panel that seems to have no purpose that I can find. The documentation says "Mask and Look panels - The Mask panel is now placed next to the Look panel. WIth the masking and grading tools placed side-by-side, you can now work faster on the mask workflow." Is there a way to move, hide, or otherwise manipulate the panels for a custom layout? All the examples I can find on the Web show the Looks panel to the left of the Mask panel where the controls are available.

Ok, here is what I have so far. Appdelete the iWork and reinstalled. Pages and Number work, but not Keynote.
Now, I downloaded a couple apps that I need, and no matter what I did, the spinning ball came up and the download stopped till it unlocked itself. It is really frustrating because the download was not completed and whatever came through would not mount. Could this issue be the internet connection? Permission fix showed a lot of Airport issues. I will try to run permissions fix again.

Customer master data change -XD02 Disable all filelds except text screen.

Hi SAP Experts,
Have any idea please forward immediately.
In cusomer master data change XD02 all filelds should not be changed by specified users and the user should be able to update the text screen where as am giving the path below
XD02>company code data>Extras>Texts>Double click on accounting text screen. then it directs to text screen.
here user can update the information.
Since the Master data fileds can be change by the diffrent team like the details of address.... and the other users team from same dept. should not able to change address...and all other fileds in XD02 except the text screen.
Is it possible to develop in xd02 . if it is please explore what are the ways...
Regards
venkat

In Firefox browser only (NOT IE,) Yahoo Mail screen jumps up, then down 1 line every few seconds.

The following happens ONLY when I use Firefox.
It does NOT happen when I use IE; and it happens ONLY in Yahoo Mail.
Whenever I'm in Yahoo Mail, my screen jumps 1 line--alternating up, then down--every 5-15 seconds.
While composing e-mail, when I get ready to click on something or type something, the screen will jump up or down 1 line and cause me to click on something I don't want, or type something in the wrong place.
It's also extremely annoying to try to read mail.

Do you have the Yahoo! Toolbar?

Camera icon on lock screen in iOS 5.1 only makes lock screen jump on iPhone 3GS

I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 just now - and found the first bug within the first few seconds.
The camera quick access icon on the lock screen only makes the lock screen jump up and down a little, so about half of the photo app's lower bar, where the shutter, still/video icon etc. is, becomes visible for less than a second. And that's it.
I can't believe that nobody tested this on a 3GS.
It seems Apple got completely lost in stuffing in more and more frills and gadgets, everything after iOS 3.1.3 is way beyond a simple, clear and easy to use interface, and every little frill introduces more and more bugs and flaws. Having something simply and clear has been something that Apple was really good at - but that seems to be history.
Man, I'm SO annoyed - and SO disappointed.

Sorry, I meant swiping, not tapping.
It took me three reboots and one restore from the previous backup, only after that it started working as expected.
I also noticed that a lot of ram kept being marked as used although not a single app was running in the background.
Anyway - why did it need to be a swipe instead of a tap? One can only access it after a home button press - safe enough to not accidentally activate it.
I miss the possibility like in iOS 3 to assign the home button double-click to the camera start. THAT was really handy.
