Desktop appearance problem: For no apparent reason my Mac running OSX 10.4.11 imposed a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side where I have the dock. How do I remove it?

For no apparent reason my Mac (2 GHz PowerPC G5) running 10.4.11 has put a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also a band of the same pattern across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side over the dock. (See screen grabs below.)
It doesn't affect any operations but makes folder names and drop-down menus difficult to read through the pattern.
I'm not aware of changing any settings so suspect I must have clicked on something without noticing. How do I get rid of the overlaid pattern, please?

Information about my computer is as follows:
Machine Name:          iMac G5
Machine Model:          PowerMac8,2
CPU Type:          PowerPC G5 (3.1)
Number Of CPUs:          1
CPU Speed:          2 GHz

Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          667 MHz

How do I force all Tabs to the right hand side, leaving space on the left?

It feels more intuitive to have the first tab against the right hand side and it's easier to find because it always remains in the same position when, eg, closing other tabs. I use TabMixPlus, but can't find the required option. Many thanks.

You can check out code in the userChrome.css file to see that it doesn't really work well (tabs move around when you hover or click).
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#tabbrowser-tabs tab:first-child {-moz-box-ordinal-group:2}
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
* Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
* Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

HT1430 I have 4 white lines down right hand side of phone I cannot use any icons under the lines

My I phone 5 has 4 white lines down right hand side I cannot use the icons under it. Can anyone help?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
As long as the issue is not the result of user damage (like being dropped) it should be covered under warranty. Only Apple can say for certain whether it is covered or not.

No details present on right hand side tabs on Mac OSX

I'm using Mac OS 10.4.5 and have just downloaded SQL Developer. I also downloaded the J2SE 5.0 and installed as instructed When I click on a table, no information is shwn in any of the right hand side tabs - apart from the data tab. Same for selcting a procdeure/package. The code is not visible. I have to click on the edit button before I can see the code.
What am I doing wrong ?
Cheers,
Brent

HT4113 My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason

My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason, what can we do? Can anyone help please?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

TS3274 Email display problem: My email only display the list of emails and a preview (first two lines of the body of the mail). If one click on the message it only shows the heading on the right hand side of the screen, but not the content.

My email only display the list of mails in my in box with a preview of the first two lines of the body of the message. When one clicks on the message to open it, only the header is displayed in the right hand side of the screen - the actual message is missing. This happens on older mail previously downloaded that use to work properly as well. Any idea how to fix this?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

If I do not select F11 ( full screen ) a big part of the screen "falls" of the right hand side of my monitor and is not readable, I am not able to find the neccesary adjustments.

Screen 2/3 blanco on the left side
With F11 all OK.

Would there be any particular reason why my iPad will not join my wireless internet at home but my iPhone and Macbook are joined? I thought that sign was hindering the connect but that is completely unrelated.

Icons that appear on the right hand side of my desktop wallpaper

So, if I take a screenshot of something, or if I download something, it will appear as an icon up the right hand side of my wallpaper. What does this mean? I just downloaded 'OS X 10.9.2 Update Combo' and then it appeared as an icon to the right of my homepage. Does this mean it has downloaded? I have just been moving things from there into my trash bin but to get rid of them. But I don't want to end up deleting important things purely because I don't want them appearing on the right hand side of my wallpaper.

Those represent the screenshots you've taken as well as the mounted dmg files. Once you've installed the software, you can remove the mounted images; files on the desktop can be dragged to other locations.
Nothing important to Mac OS X's operation will end up on the desktop unless manually put there.

Thanks, AM_Kidd, I had tried that before but I tried again and this time it WORKED!!!!
The buzzing stopped and I have the home screen up again.
Phew! It may be that it had been on charge for the last 30 mins.
Whatever. Again, many thanks.

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.
