Contolling screen behavoir - help please

Is it possible to control what happens when I close the lid of my iBook G3? I want to make it so nothing happens, just the screen shuts off so I can play music still through external speakers. Thanks in advance for any help!

No. It is designed to sleep when you close it. Apple tells you not to run your iBook closed without allowing it to sleep:

How do I retrieve photos/data etc. from my iPhone 4 before a completely erasing restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen! Help please!!!

I connected my iPhone 4 to my PC to sync all my new info to iTunes/PC, but it said it was not able to recognize it and needs to do a complete restore! How do I retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 before a complete restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen and won't do anything else! I tried rebooting the phone (holding the top button and the home button and the SAME "connect to iTunes" screen comes up. If I restore, I will lose ALL my unsynced photos, apps, and data from the past week (INCLUDING pics from a concert WITH band members!) Help please! MAYDAY! My prior backup does NOT contain these photos/apps/data! Ahh!!!!

I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

LR6 freezing on full screen. Help please?

I have just got LR6 (WINDOWS 64x). When I use the Full Screen (or F key shortcut) I cannot exit the full screen without using Task Manager (Ctrl/Alt/Delete)and ending task (ie, LR). When I do this LR closes without saving, or having the option to save, the catalogue. This is most frustrating and time wasting. Also now do not have the ability to view images on the full screen. LR6 works OK providing that I don't use the full screen option. I have also noticed that the image processing/loading is noticeably slower. My graphics processor checks out OK. Help please???

I'm sorry, but I am a bit out of ideas here.
I suppose the rest of your system like RAM is well enough too.
Does the Windows event log have any entry after the freeze? Too bad it's not BSOD - that would at least show a hint where the issue might be.
FWIW, I'd try with an older graphic card driver as well - you never know.

N97 screen cable =( help please!

my n97 that i absolutely LOVE wouldnt start the other day;
i figured it was coz it ran out of battery
after charging it and turning it back on,
the screen wouldnt turn on?
everything else was fine;
it made the nokia sound at the start
and the keys lit up also.
after looking at it;
i realised that the screen cable;
behind the screen; had snapped?!
is there anything i can do to fix this?
also;
if i have to take it to a store to get fixed..
how much and how long will it take?!
-i'd appreciate any help i can get. =)

If its hardware, I would definitely recommend that you take it to Nokia care center. I dont think that it is not covered by warranty since I cannot think of a situation normally when the cable would just snap.

HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista black screen - need help please!

I have an HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista. Yesterday it was working fine and today we have the black screen that reads:
Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software, Inc.
BIOS ROM checksum error
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Found CDROM, try to boot from it...Fail
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Detecting floppy drive A media...

I am not a techie, but looked at online forums and have tried f10 at startup with no change to the screen other than it stops after the first four lines and does not try the floppy drive. I also pulled out the round battery, waited and then reintstalled. Same problem.
Also, computer emits a single, repeating beep after startup.
HELP!

I saw your post and wanted to comment. I'm not an expert on these types of situations but did some digging around and found the following at Tips4PC.com.... read below
"There are two types of computer black screens that can appear in Windows. One where the computer will not boot up but you have a beep sequence sounding to let you know what the problem could be, and the other has nothing at all. No beeps, no cursor, no logo screen, and no choice to boot to safe mode or access the bios.
If your computer will not boot up and you get a beep sequence, I am not saying it is good news, however it is a step in the right direction towards solving this problem. This is a message from your computer that can be understood by looking up your bios (the brand) beep code. For example you may have an Award Bios, Ami Bios, Phoenix BIOS, Compaq, Dell, or Acer Bios. This list goes on and on. You can search for Bios beep codes in Google. Here is an example of results in Google search"
Link
Also I went into the Troubleshooting Guide for the A6000 and found the following information. You need to use F11 for recovery. See below
Starting System Recovery from system startup
1
Turn off the computer. If necessary, press and hold the On button until the computer
turns off.
2
Remove the HP Personal Media Drive if your computer includes one. Disconnect all
peripheral devices from the computer except the monitor, the keyboard, and the
mouse.
3
Press the On button to turn on the computer.
4
During the startup, do the following to enter the Recovery Manager program:
When the blue screen with the HP Invent logo appears, press the F11 key on the
keyboard. (You have only a few seconds to press the F11 key before the normal
startup process continues.)
5
The computer starts the Recovery Manager program; wait for the onscreen instructions
to display, and then follow those instructions.
6
Complete the computer startup, finish the registration process, and wait until you see
the desktop. Then, turn off the computer, reconnect all peripheral devices, and turn on
the computer.

I have the deathly white screen. Help please !

Hi There, My blackberry curve has the deathly white screen and I would love some help to fix it. I have looked at older posts but my problem is that I work from a mac not a PC and the solution posted was for a PC. Please can you help!

There is nothing to be done.

Shift icon in the top right corner of screen? Help please

Hey everybody, I have a question here. I've been getting a random problem on my curve 9310, and was wondering if anyone else had the problem or knows how to fix it. In the top right corner of my screen there's an icon, and it looks like its the shift/caps key icon, just aA^ (up arrow). The touchpad works, and I can scroll around, but the touchpad button or the enter button to open an application does not work, nor do any of the other keys. If I pull the battery and restart the phone, its still been doing that, and if I don't touch it and the screen fades to black, when I touch the buttons, its like the phone is off. I had this problem earlier in the week and it fixed itself, but its been doing it again. Any ideas on whats causing this, or how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi chris644 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
This icon in the top right corner you are seeing indicates that the caps lock has been enabled. If you press the shift button again, this should remove the icon from the top of the screen.
Thanks.

After 10.5.2 install stuck at the login screen. Help please!

Hi all,
After installing 10.5.2 my computer rebooted to the login screen, but no matter what account I select (I have 3) it goes to a blue screen for a few seconds and then right back to the login screen. I've tried booting in safe mode and also resetting the PRAM. I've been reading this forum, but don't seem to see anyone else having this same exact problems.
Any suggestions?

I have had problems after the 10.5.2 update. I ended up with a frozen computer - unable to restart or shut down etc. Also ended up at one stage with Set Up Assistant screen. With the help of a computer savvy friend, at least I am able to use my computer again.
It appears the actual download did happen but it did not install and the computer tells me I need to "re-start". When I did this, window appeared on plain blue screen saying it was installing software but absolutely nothing happened - no blue scrolling bar etc.
My iMac computer is still under Apple Care Plan and technician told me they are many problems surfacing across the various machines with this upgrade. He has asked me to delay updating the software and to ring back in a couple of days because their technicians are currently working on the problem and he hopes for an answer soon.

Having trouble streaming NBA league pass from my MBP to my TV in full screen mode, help please.

So i have the Moshi mini dp and the apple hdmi cable. I cannot stream from my MBP to my TV in FULL sceen mode cleanly with 720p resolution. When NOT hooked up to my TV the MBP has no problem going fullscreen perfectly, then, when I connect the mini dp to the MBP and TV it gets messed up on both the TV and MBP. The last caveat is that it streams PERFECTLY in NON full screen mode, but, the second I change it to full screen, blamo! It gets all messed up. One thing I did that is really just a 'work around' was decreased my resolution, no longer 720p >:( and this is not satisfactory to me. Any suggestions?

Any help to increase the resolution quality of my DV file will be EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
For faster editing iMovie 08 & 09 uses single-field processing. This means every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses all of the image, I think you will find it looks better.
iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 is a terrific combination.

[4S] Replaced what I thought was faulty rear camera, still getting black screen! Help please?

I will try to describe the problem as well as I can; I've seen quite a few posts about this problem already but I am yet to find anything that really helps.
Basically, I thought my rear camera had a hardware problem as when I opened the camera app all I would get was a black screen. Despite this I was still able to use the front camera without a problem. Thinking it was the camera I ordered a replacement which I have since installed and I am still getting the same issues as with the old camera.
I'm comepletely stumped, I've looked at many forum posts etc. about this and have yet to see anything that is helpful.
Is this a software issue?

Nobody here would know. You took it unto yourself to repair a non-user servicable item instead of going to an Apple store or authorized servce provider when you had the original problem. Your best bet now is to go and do a Google search or take it to a third party (unauthorized) service shop. Apple will never touch that phone.

IMovie is frozen on screen! Help Please??

Hi...I'm in a fix. I'm on deadline with a project and iMovie has been "frozen" for over an hour. Nothing responds. I think I might have over-taxed it with two screens with the same show on them and where I have been moving some clips from one to the other to make the one small enough to burn a DVD with iDVD. That said, my MacBook Pro is at 11 GB and when I dump the trash, I only get one or two GB at the most. What now?? Does anyone know anything at all that I can do to get my iMovie up and running? I am in such a mess if not. Someone is waiting with check in hand and lots of attitude. Help?
Thankks for any ideas. Kate

Hi GeeD, thanks for responding. No, I meant that when I empty my trash most of the GB's in the trash disappear. Example: Let's say I have 10 GB and my trash has100GB, so I dump the trash to build my workable GB's and I will only get about 15 GB's out of the 100! What the heck is that??
I'm using iMovie HD 6.0 I learned the hard way that the project I did was waaaay to big and busy for iMovie. At least this one. I finally got it free'd up and burned my DVD's with Toast. No jiggling in the final version, thank goodness.
Thanks so much for helping. Take good care, Kate

Stuck at 'Starting Windows' screen! Help please :(

Hello guys and girls.
I have a problem with an Acer Aspire 8920 laptop.
To start off with the back light on the screen was the first issue. After turning the laptop on the screen would turn off. I would close the lid and open it again and the screen would light up as normal and then after a few seconds it would go off again.
I wasn't sire at first what it was so I plugged it into the telly via HDMI and that was fine. I looked closely and I could see very faintly windows had loaded fine. After that I knew it was the backlight.
Eventually after more research I bought a new inverter off the web. Few days later it arrived and I replaced it. It solved the issue but has caused a couple more.
I get stuck at the starting windows screen no matter what I do. I have a copy of W7 on a disc, on USB and if I try and load up W7 as normal. If I try and boot in safe mode it always gets stuck at 'Loaded: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\avgidsha.sys' every time.
Also after replacing the inverter the brightness of the screen now 'pulses'. Thats the best way I can describe it. When it does pulse it doesn't go off completely, just a little brighter and darker.
I have looked online and found that people were getting stuck at the same place and the cause of that was a power supple issue with custom built PCs. I think that maybe I might have a the same problem because of this new inverter?
Any input would be great into this. I appreciate your help.
Thank you!

Hi,
Do you mean that you're unable to logon to Windows no matter via normal start or safe mode, and startup repair doesn't work with the disk?
For this error "gets stuck at 'Loaded: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\avgidsha.sys' every time", hope this link can help you

Spilled Coke on screen. Help please...

Alright, so I managed to get the Coke off in time before there was any major damage, but then I noticed the screen. From a glance one would think it appeared fine, but upon closer inspection, I see a huge ugly-looking spot.
I believe I have the glossy widescreen display.
What is this? What happened? Is there any way to easily fix this?

Just clean it. There is some expensive LCD screen cleaner you can buy, or just mix distilled water and isopropyl 50-50. Dip a microfiber cloth in it and very gently wipe the screen, then use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe it dry. Be gentle, and if there are any large particles try to brush them off instead of wiping them off.
