Display out of control

I`ve got an ipod mini.
the apple icon and the battery status while loading is shown correctly on the display. the display is also correct while playing songs. but the very first menus don`t work at all. i see nothing on the display when i am in main menu or in the menu music.
can anyone help me?

Thanks for the tip. It somehow worked.
I had turned on the security feature "Login Screen after wake-up, screensaver".
Whenever I entered my password after sleep/screensaver the brightness would be like 15% instead of 100%.
After the PRAM Reset I had a new problem. The login screen didn't show up anymore after wake-up or returning from screensaver.
Solution: In the Security setting I turned of this feature. Restarted the mac. And turned the login screen on again.
Now, when I wake-up or return from screensaver the login screen shows up and the brightness of the display stays at 100%.

MacBook Air is laggy and the fan is out of control

My MacBook Air 2013 is laggy and the fan is out of control. The fan is out of control even when I start my macbook up. I don't know if it has something to do with Yosemite or something else. I have tried SMC restarting, and nothing has changed. I would really love to hear if anyone else is having this problem, and I would love to hear if any of you have any tips. Also I checked if anything is using up my CPU a bunch, and nothing is out of the ordinary.

The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or low voltage readings from the battery of a MacBook, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
☞ high ambient temperature
☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That behavior may be normal for some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

Display full-screen controls NOT visible

I exported my keynote presentation as a QuickTime full-screen movie. In Preferences, I have the controls checked to display full-screen controls and to never hide them. They do not show up anywhere. I also set the presentation as a slideshow to control the presentation using the arrow keys and they do not show up. In the Guide it states that as long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QT Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer. They don't.
Any help out there would be appreciated...I have a deadline to meet!

Huh, I didn't realize you had to format a flash drive for a Mac, I'll check that out.
O.K. I may have something that I said I was going to try...I unlocked the file, changed *_My* permission_, the Staff and Everyone else to "Read Only" privileges, then locked again. I then zipped it and sent it to my son this morning. He said he could open it, change it but it would not allow him to save it! I'm going to test it further somehow but I don't know anybody else that has a Mac w/Keynote '08. Do you have Keynote 08? Can I send it to you to test (it would be alot easier) or to someone in the Keynote discussion area?
This message should now have a subject line..."Keynote presentation to CD to be accessed, but not changed?" When this all began, I searched discussions in Keynote on this and found nothing with a concrete answer, only that you cannot save a keynote presentation as password protected. I posted twice and no one answered. I think this part of our discussion will help Keynote people.
*Back to your area of expertise and my original question!*... Can you still look to see what key commands force the HUD for me for my QuickTime Movie as Slideshow? I know they could not change that, but the arrow controls would have to be displayed. I don't know what HUD means but I'm going to search too... I found this link: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QT7-2Update_Guide/NewFeaturesChangesEnhancements/chapter_2_section9.html
Could you take a look and see if this is what I need? I do have Mac OS X v10.5.4 and QT v7.5 and my Preferences window does not have a recording tab but my Full screen window looks that same. When I view my A/V controls it also doesn't view as in figure 1-8. I'm confused again! QT 7.5 is the latest version, isn't it?

Hiding and Displaying TS UI Controls from LabView

We have a custom TestStand User Interface, written in LabView, that is a modified 'Simple' User Interface as installed with TestStand.
When our UI is initialising the TestStand UI controls are immediately displayed with nothing displayed inside them, this looks very untidy. Is there a way of hiding and displaying TS UI controls on demand?
Regards
Steve
Message Edited by SercoSteve on 03-09-2006 09:22 AM
There are 10 types of people in the world that understand binary, those that do and those that don't.

TestStand I am still learning, but LabVIEW I know. There are several things that you could do. One thing would be a splash screen. I don't think that this is what you are after, though.
Each control has a terminal on the block diagram. If you right click on the terminal, you can create a property node. There are lots of properties that you can set on a control, including whether it is visible or greyed out. I think you want to hide the controls and SAVE the VI that way. Then, when the VI is run, where the control/indicator gets its data, set it to visible with the property node as well. If this is in a subVI, you might need to create a reference to the control/indicator and pass that into the VI as well. You can then wire it to a property node in the subVI.
There are several examples on using property nodes that ship with LabVIEW that should be able to get you started.
Hope that this helps,

Safari Spinning Out of Control - Why Doesn't This Get Better?!!

For a very extended period, Safari has been spinnin out of control memory-wise - no other OS I use does this, not does any other browser I use on OSX. This goes on and on and on and on, with no real remidiation coming from Apple. It is maddening and ruiining the usability of using the MAC and OSX. It may be due to Flash, or Flash and Apple's refusal to properly work with Adobe - Flash is out there - it is on a huge number of websites and not just for entertainment - it cannot be avoided - also transactional sites such as StubHub use it. If I have ten or fifteen web pages open, Safari, between Safari Web Content, Safari and Flash, can take three or four gigabytes or even more, and Flash is the least of them. It does not happen with Firefox. With Safari spinning out of control, the entire device slows down. This has been going on for far far far too long. It happen on my MacBook and my iMac. When is this going to get resolved? I am starting to despise using the Mac and OSX.

Songs displaying out of order in new iTunes

Despite proper track numbers on all the songs, tracks still display out of order when viewing them. Here is an album where the proper track numbers are showing but each song is in a completely random order. Note that shuffle is not enabled.
I've attempted to fix this by adjusting settings in the View menu and clicking and dragging. Nothing helps.
Any tips would be very much appriciated.

Hey Kilima,
THANK YOU! The problem was that some of the songs were labeled as "Album 1 of 1" while other songs had this information completely missing. This didn't affect the track listings in the old iTunes, but got distorted when I upgraded.
Thanks again!

Safari out of control in yosemite

Ever since updating imac, the Safari browser is out of control. The advertisements are overwhelming and a new tab constantly opens for mackeeper or other ads. I am also getting a series of adobe flash player errors saying to change settings to 32-bit mode. Not sure what to do.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Display Out Questions

So I really can't figure out what is going on. I have a mini display to hdmi chord which will put my computer screen onto my tv. Also I have a mini display to vga adapter with a vga chord to plug into that and then plug into the back of my tv. the hdmi works and will display on my tv but for whatever reason the vga chord will not show up on my tv and I don't have any idea as to why. I've tested the chord and know that there isn't a problem in the chord, and obviously the mini display out still works and it pic up that something was plugged in just nothing is displayed on the tv.
any suggestions as to what could be going on?
or any settings that should be changed?

ACD 23" Alu not displaying out from a fresh boot

my cheesegrater MacPro recently died on me so I've "relegated" the ACD to work with my rMBP through the thunderbolt port with an Apple minidisplay-DVI adaptor
Magsafe adaptor is on so the rMBP is closed and used with an external keyboard/mouse
Everything is working perfectly if I boot up the rMBP then connect the ACD to it
What's not OK is when I power on the rMBP with the ACD attached. it doesnt display out anything.
The rMBP does recognise the ACD with a quick pulling out of the adaptor from the rMBP then back in again. But there is no display on the ACD. the ACD and the rMBP goes into spanning mode as the mouse moves out from the rMBP to the blanked out secondary display (ACD)
My solution now is to connect the ACD only when the rMBP is up and running. The ACD has to be powered off from the powerplug and reconnecting the adaptor again which is silly.
how can i use the ACD properly without hotpluggin

i dont know if it had any thing to do with the SwitchResX app i had installed previously but i had it disabled completely and it seems fine now

Album song lists displayed out of numerical order

Suddenly, the song lists for each album at the music store, are displayed out of numerical order. Is it something I did? If so how can I fix it? Makes it very hard to find and buy proper song.

The sort-order for songs can be changed by clicking on the various column headings in the Music Store display.
So make sure you've selected the left-most column for your sorting order.

IMac 20" G5 (gen1) with out of control fans

My iMac's fans are running at speeds that are driving me and my office mate completely out of our minds. Currently, terminal reports:
"location" = "System Fan" | | | | "target-value" = 1240 | | | | "location" = "CPU fan"
| | | | "target-value" = 4343
| | | "location" = "Hard Drive"
| | | "target-value" = 1800
| | | "location" = "sysclk slew"
| | | "target-value" = 1
The CPU is running at an average load of 26.1% and is at 144.3 degrees, with no out of control processes, and the hard drive is at 125.6 degrees. That's with only 5 applications running.
I'm running OS 10.4.3 and the iMac has 2 gigs of RAM. I've run the Apple Hardware Test disk, which reported no problems, and have run an overnight memory test, which also reported no problems and have reverted back to the Apple supplied memory with no positive effect.
I've also (several times):
reset the SMU (PMU for older Mac fans)
cleared the PRAM
run disk utility
repaired the permissions
done a clean software install
Nothing has worked. This is all on a computer whose firewire didn't work out of the box and which I repaired with a refurbed motherboard when it was less than a week old. Nothing like buying a new machine and getting a refurbished one to start you off on the right foot.
Now I'm trying to get this computer, which is under warranty, repaired but can't even find a number that I can call where I won't get charged! I live in Maine, so taking it to an Apple Store, or even a convenient service center is out of the question. Can someone advise?
This has been, without a doubt, my most disappointing Apple experience ever (and I owned a Mac Portable!)

Timothy,
I'm certainly open to another member's disagreement on this, but It appears to me that you have done everything necessary to disqualify software as the cause of your fan issue.
In that case, it's probably worth it to you to go ahead and give Apple your credit card to enable phone support for this issue, as it appears likely to be hardware related, which will cost you nothing (they should only charge you if it turns out to be a software issue.
Phone support will go down a list of things that you need to do to disqualify software, all of which, I believe, you've already tried. The only risk would be if phone support comes up with a software fix that no one on this board thinks to recommend to you. However, on the bright side, if no one on here can come up with another idea to try, and phone support has one that does work, it's going to be worth the cost, what is it - $75, I think?
I suppose your alternatives would be to:
1. buy some books or an AppleCare repair course and become an expert,
or
2. buy AppleCare and get free phone support back for both software and hardware for another two+ years, as well as valuable rights to in-home repairs.
If you have seen your iMac run well at times, and can see keeping it, AppleCare at $169 could be a bargain for what you might get out of it in phone support alone, not to mention another expensive part replacement a year from now. Furthermore, there are times it can be found at a lower price on eBay, usually a bit under $100 delivered. I have bought several, for this one I'm using, for a 17" that I sold, plus as a gift for a relative's iMac.
Best of luck.

Out of control thermocouples

Hey, I've got a weird problem and I'm hoping someone can help. I've been using a program for about 6 months now that basically maintains a cold temperature at one side of a heat sink, and maintains a hot temperature at the other side. Then I have 25 thermocouples hooked up in between to measure temperatures so I can do analysis on the material in the middle. My problem is that all of a sudden the thermocouple readings have been out of control and unpredictable. I was adding automation to the program so it could run multiple tests at once and in the process this problem developed. The strange part is that the problem is also happening in the old version of the program now too, and that has been working perfectly for the last 6 months. I have 25 thermocouples hooked up and the temperatures will all look about right, but then 3 to 5 of them will be completely wrong randomly. What's interesting about this problem is that when I change the thermocouple that the heaters use to maintain the set point temperature, the values that were wrong become right again and some of the other thermocouples start giving invalid data. The setup uses one NI 9213 and 3 NI 9211 inputs for the thermocouples. It also uses a NI 9401 to control the heaters through a pulse width modulation electric box we have. Anyone ever experience something like this or have any ideas? Thanks for any help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello acolbourn,
Have you tried hooking the thermocouples that were giving you bad data back into another port that you were previously getting good data with. This will help you figure out if the problem is the thermocouples or the card inputs. Since you said the issues were fixed by replacing the thermocouples, that makes me think the issue is the thermocouples...but I would still trying plugging the "bad" thermocouples into another port just to see if you still get bad data.
How do you have your code setup to read the signal? Do you have multiple tasks reading from the different cards, or do you have one task with all the inputs on it? I noticed you are only reading one sample at a time, you may want to try reading multiple samples so that you have a buffer and are less likely to get that error. Also, if you were in highlight execution, then this error would have happened because of the how much highlight execution slows down the program, and not because of an issue with the code. When you debug with DAQmx, data overwrite errors are common. This is mainly because most debugging involves slowing down the execution to see what's going on, but slowing down the execution causes timed events to not function correctly, so this may be the cause of the -200279 error.
I hope this helps!
