Display doing really wierd things! please help

Hi- All of a sudden this morning the display on my ibook did this most peculiar thing. The fonts and everything on the desktop got much larger and the whole screen moves around as if it is being dragged (as in drag and drop). I'm using an external mouse (the trackpad has been dead for years). I changed mice to see if that would solve the problem, but no luck. Rebooting doesn't help either. As it boots up everything looks fine, but as the boot up process finishes everything increases in size and then moves around when I move the mouse. It is enough to make me sea-sick! Thanks, in advance for your help. -Howard

Hi- I figure it out from the question 2 below this one- the "zoom" function had somehow gotten turned on! Thanks -Howard

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store. Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays. You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor. If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected. I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3

Macbook air adapter heats up really bad ! please help

Hello Folks !!
This is Jan and i purchased macbook air 11 inch 64 gb ultrathin laptop 2 months back. i use this laptop for watching youtube videos or occasional skype chat with family and friends and each day i dont use my laptop for more than 4 hours.
Yesterday i was watching youtube video and after 2 hrs, the adaptor got so hot and i was afraid and pulled power and switched off laptop.
Are thare any macbook air adaptor knows issues and why my macbook air adaptor heats up really bad ?
Please help me resolve my issue with macbook air adaptor.
Please help.
Thanks
Jan

The power adaptor will always get a little warm or even hot during use.
How hot did it get? Was it smoking, melting, or discoloring?
If not, then that little bit of heat is usual and you shouldn't worry about it too much.
Hope this helps,

It could be that your button has justy gone out. You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there. If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.
