Display has become unglued from top cover!
About a month ago I noticed a slight misalignment with my cover when I closed it, and upon further inspection I discovered that the black plastic covering of the hinge was popping out slightly. After researching the problem via internet and discovering that many people had similar hinge problems, I (wrongfully) decided that I could wait for servicing until after university was over.
Well, only about a week ago, after casual dorm usage (not using it while traveling) I closed my computer lid only to discover that there was literally no resistance in the hinge as it closed, and that the problem stemmed from the hinge area of my display literally becoming unglued from the cover. I now cannot close my computer for fear of breaking the screen any further, and I was just wondering about the serviceability of this problem and what I can do to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== While I was compiling an email in Hotmail LiveWow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
Thank you so much! -
The display has become oversize
Hi The desktop and active programme display on my screen has become oversize. I swear I have changed no settings and although I can ZOOM the active programme, it then becomes undersize. I cannot Zoom the desktop as it is greyed out.
Hi all
This is really weird. I carried out all suggested solutions withi absolutely no change even though I tried several times
I had to go out so I left the MBA for a couple of hours and when I returned all was back to normal.
Beats me!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your help.

Display Problem - Light Coming From Top
Hello,
So I recently purchased a 27" iMac, and have noticed a display problem when viewing in full screen mode. Its only an issue if there is black along the top of the screen (such as the black bars when watching a movie or trailer). When there is black along the top, you can see some white light kind of bleeding in from the top edge - kind of all the way along (very narrow), but more pronounced at certain spots. I browsed the forums, but couldn't find anything that seemed real similar (though there are a number of reports of a yellow tinge on the bottom).
I guess I"m just wondering if this is a common LED problem - or if my display may be defective, and I should take it back.
Thanks in advance.Hi Pullo
There has been a few reports, but nothing wide spread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3005885�
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7722386�
If it's noticeable, then most definitely take it back.

My alias has become unlinked from my Apple ID - can I relink?
Hi there,
I haven't seen this issue addressed before- I appreciate any help!
I have had an Apple ID from the way-back days when you didn't need it to be an email address. Let's say it was username:Irene, password: XX. I have an alias in Discussions that's IreneJ and it's linked with the Apple ID I mention here.
Then when the Apple ID username was switched to have to be an email address, I changed my Apple ID username to [email protected] (this info is for example, I'm not revealing my real username and password), with the same password. My alias of IreneJ was still linked to this Apple ID.
Then yesterday I tried to log into Discussions (the last time I logged in was maybe 2 months ago), signed in with my Apple ID, and was directed to a page to set up an alias as if I don't have one! I requested the alias IreneJ and was told I can't have it because it already exists, and I verified that my alias shows up in the boards (it really is IreneJ).
So somehow my Apple ID isn't linked to my alias and I haven't found a way to access my alias (ie: see My Settings, My Public Profile, My Questions, My Posts, and My Subscriptions) and relink it to my Apple ID (even though they were once linked!).
I know I can make a new Apple ID and new alias (that's what I did to be able to post this message), but I want my old alias connected to my old Apple ID.
Any tips/help welcome!
--IreneHi Irene!
Logging in to Discussions has been problematic for some time.
Try this procedure.
Delete all the Apple Cookies in your browser, and empty the Cache.
Go here Discussions Sign In, and try logging in with your original Apple ID again.
If that still doesn't work, delete the Cookies again, and go to My Info, and log in with the original Apple ID.
If you get the error message "Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly.", click on "Did you forget your password? Click here for assistance".
On the page that opens, you can also click on "Forget your Apple ID.

I have an iMAC 7.1 running OS X 10.6.8.
The display has become too big for the screen. I've looked at the zoom and it is turned off. I've tried adjusting the pixel setting (currently 1920 * 1200) to no effect.
The bar at the top of the screen is elongated, and I can't see the time in the top right hand corner.
This is affecting everything I lookmat, the dock in the bottom doesn't show until I bring the mouse down (hide dock is off).
I have no idea what caused this and I can't fix it.
Does anyone have idea what the problem is and how to fix it?
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.No wheel, it's a magic mouse.
Tried safe start. No difference.
The dock and the icons are off the bottom of the screen.
I I have finder open and move the cursor to the right to show the time, I lose finder / file /edit from the overhead banner.
Still no closer to solving it. -

Steps to be done to remove the device from the previous owner's iCloud Account, if you have already done this things then there might be something that you might have missed due to which the iPhone is still showing the Find My iPhone Activation Lock screen.
Resolution : http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If the previous owner is with you and can access the device
Ask them to enter their Apple ID and password on the Activate iPhone screen (shown above) to remove the device from their account. You can then proceed through the rest of the device setup process.
If the previous owner is not present
Contact them and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Choose the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices and selecting the correct device.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been removed from the previous owner’s account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally. -
Sub form display from top of the page
Hi Experts
I have some page display issue with my form. I have 2 main forms and 5 sub forms. The form structure is I have called the subforms from the main form using button option, while I click the button to view the sub form I am veiwing it perfectly, but while loading the subforms the previous navigation scroll bar is not changing the newpage is not going to top of the page. This takes me the sub form half of the view I have to manually scroll to top of the page.
I have tried with zoom options but only fit height option works and it looks too small is there any other way to show subforms from top of the page?
Thanks in advance
Regards
arulHi Arul,
Maybe this helps you. It is kinda clumsy but might work for you.
Sounds like you are ending up on the right page but in the wrong spot on that page. Yah?
So at the end of your button code (which already works) just put in:
xfa.host.pageDown();
xfa.host.pageUp();
So, in effect, you are going off page and then immediately coming back. It happens very quickly, so the user won't notice it.
It has the result of bringing you to the TOP of the page.
Good Luck,

My Mac has blue screened a couple of times this week it started to work a couple of times after that but now it is grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is also there it is trying to boot up again but won't. Not sure don't know anything about how to fix things but I suspect the fan has stopped working as I can't hear one. The problem I have I now live in Turkey and I am 1000 km from the nearest apple shop which is in Istanbul I believe and I now live in Didim, Altinkum I don't trust the everyday Turkish shop to take it to as they will tell you they know how to fix it but will probably make it worse, typical in Turkey. Please can someone help as we use it for our business and obviously I need it up and running ASAP I am using IPad and iPhone at moment but can't access my files which are on PC.
Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?! -
Yesterday when I opened iPhoto all of my photo's were missing. After many hours of frustrating time looking how to resolve, I decided to try again this morning. When I tried to open iphoto, I got the message I referenced above regarding the library is either in use or has become unreadable.
My photos are not in iPhoto anymore. There's nothing there. iphoto acts like its never even been set up. I have iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3. I have OS X Lion version 10.7.5. However, when I go to "All My Files" and then under "images", there are over 10,000 images. I see my photos (I guess it's all of them - i have no idea how many there were) and other "images" also. When i go to "pictures" I only see the 15 or so items I have scanned. In "iPhoto Library", there is 1 picture of what looks like a deck of playing cards with flowers on them - I don't know where that came from. But also in "iPhoto Library" under the heading "desktop", it shows a size of over 27GB and under "kind" it says "package". Still under desktop and "Photo Booth Library" it shows 53GB and under "kind" it says "Photo Booth Library". Before I opened iPhoto to view my photo's, I went to "empty trash" yesterday (not in iPhoto) and it showed over 65,000 items to delete. There were no more than 200 that I could actually see. So, I don't understand. I let it delete a couple of thousand before I stopped it because I didn't know what it was doing. I know - not too smart. I don't know if that has anything to do with iPhoto or not; I'm just throwing that out there. Today I went to "empty trash" and it now shows the 200 items that I can see in there. Don't know what happened.
I do have a time capsule but not sure if I’m using it correctly. If you were to tell me to restore to a certain point, I’d have to be walked thru the process.
I downloaded “iPhoto Library Manager”, not exactly sure how to use it, but got a message basically saying the library nor the database could be loaded and that album data file for the library “iPhoto Library” could not be read.
I’ve spent hours and hours and hours searching the web for answers but I’m scared to do much of anything thinking I could end up losing all my photos if I haven’t already.
Please help!
Thank you!
JamesApply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I also created a new library and tried file-import but cannot see / access any files in the original aperture library with that command.
If you use the Command to Export Project as New Library, then such a Library can be imported into another Library with the command to Import Library/Project. The first such export as New Library can be the"seed' Library for starting the process.
But the most important point is there is no performance gain from small Libraries where you think one has become too large, if the new Library is to be on the same disk drive as the original. My primary library is 1 TB in size, and works as well as tiny test libraries.

I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails. My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy. I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval. Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again -
My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy?
It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows.
