Display Quirk - Sign of Future Problems?

This display of my White MacBook 13" (late 2007) has never given me any problems, but the last day or so it has been waking up oddly from sleep. It wakes up momentarily, then turns dark and can only be revived by shutting the screen (or almost shutting it). Is this a sign of a potential future problem? I read that other people have had problems with the computer sleeping without provocation - that is not the issue here.

I believe I'm having the same problem. About 50% of the time when I wake it from sleep by opening the lid, the screen is dark but on. I've learned if you hold down F1 for a few seconds, then hit F2 this tends to bring it back to life.
But mine also just started doing this over the past week or some and it's becoming a real pain in the rear.
I've tried some different things I've seen about this and nothing has fixed it yet.

  • Mail - irritating display quirk

    I've just moved to Mail from Entourage v.X for Mac. No major problems so far, but an annoying display quirk which I'm hoping someone can help me to resolve.
    I am using Mail to send and receive via two POP accounts, hence I like to have the information displayed in Mail as follows:
    In the In mailbox, I like the columns to be in the order:
    Attachment - From - Subject - Date Received - To
    Whereas in the Sent mailbox, I like the columns to be in the order:
    Attachment - To - Subject - Date Sent - From
    The trouble is, when I put the columns in the order I want them in the Sent mailbox, they rearrange themselves in the In mailbox as well.
    It's a small thing, I know, but it's driving me nuts! In Entourage the column displays in the mailboxes are completely independent of each other - but in Mail it seems that you change the display for one and it changes them all.
    Is there any way round this?
    20" iMac Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.33 GHz, 3Gb RAM

    No. Mail stores column view settings globally for all mailboxes. You cannot change them for one mailbox without affecting the rest as well, except Mail allows you to have slightly different From/To and Date Sent/Date Received settings for Sent, i.e. show one instead of the other, but not the kind of difference you want.

  • Display quirks

    I've noticed a couple of display quirks that may or may not be related...
    When I open an image or use the menu a fine line is drawn across the top of the program window. It goes completely across the window through the PS logo, menu, and window controls. Oddly, this only happens when the program is maximized. Mousing over the buttons removes the line, minimizing then maximizing Photoshop removes the line.
    When moving images around they stick at first, start moving but then are occasionally jerky. Moving image windows around was always smooth in previous versions. Also, the initial click causes the background to flash through. Continuing to drag the image around the background will randomly flicker through. Releasing the mouse button at the end of the move also flashes the background.
    Any ideas what is causing these?
    Some system specs..
    3.0GHz Pentium D
    2GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT 256MB (w/ latest driver installed)
    XP Pro SP3

    The graphics card raw power/feature wise is good enough however the real problem with it is that it's old which means that nvidia aren't going to spend a lot of resources on fixing problems with it. If you have third party plug-ins try disabling them, otherwise the only solution would be to disable OpenGL

  • How to display NEGATIVE sign on the left side of a number in SMARTFORMS

    Hi,
         In smartforms I'm trying to print some negative values, but the negative sign is displayed on the right hand side of the number.
    How can I display the '-' sign on the left hand side of a number. I tried the logic &value(<), it works well in sap scripts. Why is it not working in smartforms ?
    Eg :   I'm getting  the output  as  126.75 -
             I want :  - 126.75

  • Displaying the % sign (dynamically - conditional formatting?)

    Hi.
    I have a report that  consists of 2 columns:
    First column (A) is a STRING data type, second column (B) is a NUMBER data type.
    Based on the value in column A, I want to be able to choose whether or not to display the % sign in column B.
    I am using CR XI.
    It is important that the column B remain a NUMBER field since the report will be exported to Excel and my users want numbers and not TEXT.
    I have been able to play with the fconditional ormatting to get diferent decimal places to show up, but have been unable to get a % sign to display.
    Basically - I want to say something like:
    If column A = "something", format columnB with a % sign.
    Help?
    Thanks.
    AK

    Or, you can right-click the second field and select Format Field, go to the Common tab, and click on the X+2 icon next to Display String.  In this formula write something like (basic syntax):
    formula = cstr({b}) + iif({a}="Percent", "%", "")
    This formula needs to return a string value that is exactly what you want displayed for the field.  In the formula above, if field A is "Percent", the formula appends a percent sign...

    What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?
    You have to make a distinction between the container format (eg, AVI, MKV) and the video/audio format (eg, DIVX). For instance, without additional software, QuickTime can play .avi files with the IndeoVideo codec, but not .avi file with the DivX codec). Further, you have to make the distinction between what can be played using an independent player, eg, QuickTime Player, and what can be played within the presentation software (Keynote or PowerPoint).
    You can refer to
    <http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/da-dk/powerpoint/item/7acce321-36fb-48d 6-8c76-12cb3a0063ee>
    for suggestions. In practice, for presentation clips, I think you're limited to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. I don't know if an additional MPEG-2 QuickTime component is required under Lion, you'll have to check that yourself. So, in the end, it's MPEG-4. Both Keynote and PowerPoint Win/Mac should be able to handle it.
    can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files
    What's a 'safe application'? And why do you have to buy it from the App Store (yuck!)?
    Handbrake, as mentioned by X423424X, is free and works very well. There are probably others, too.
    this forum is the best place to learn
    Perhaps, but it may not be the place to get answers to this question. Try a PowerPoint Mac user forum, they would have more experience in these x-platform issues. This forum is oriented more towards the hardware side of the MBP platform.

    It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.

  • Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

    Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    To be able to use the iMac as an external display, the Mac Pro should come with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, so think that it will include Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, although we don't know anything.
    To connect the iMac to the Mac Pro, as your iMac has got a Mini DisplayPort, you have to use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable (Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables, but Mini DisplayPort isn't compatible with Thunderbolt cables). Then, just follow the steps of the page above to use the iMac as an external display

  • Does display quirk indicate problem?

    I am concerned something may be wrong, ether with my OS or with ITunes. This has happened only once so far: In iTunes, when I clicked on one of the categories listed on the left, e.g., “Music,” “Podcasts” or one of the playlists (I now cannot remember), instead of the iTunes window switching from whatever category I had been looking at, to the new category, instead, the new category opened in a separate iTunes window in front of the other one (so that the previous iTunes window I had been looking at remained open in the background). I closed the new window and continued to work, but I wonder if this glitch indicates anything dire(?) (I am running iTunes 9.1, on a G4 Powerbook, Mac OS X v. 10.4.11.)

    This is normal if you double-click something in the left sidebar. Could have happened accidentally.

  • Need to display -ve sign before the dollor sign for the negative amount

    I am working on XML Publisher report, I have a total amount field which comes from Summary column from the rdf. So when ever the amount is -ve, it displays as
    $-30.00. But i have to make it dispaly as -$30.00, so how can i achieve it on XML Template? or is there any way i can achieve this?
    I tried <?format-number:empno ; 'S$999G999D99'?>,
    This has worked for me good, when ever there is a -ve amount it displays as -$30.00, but this has aroused a new problem, which is if it is a positive output it is displaying as +$30.00. i don't want that + sign to be displayed when it is positive amount.
    MY requirement is to display $-30.00 as -$30.00.
    Can you please let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks for the response, I have tried <?format-number:empno;'$999G999D99;'S$9G999D99'?>, the concurrent program is generating warning as Post processing failed, program runs fien without this change.
    I wanted to try
    <?xdofx:decode(<?xdofx:substr(<?format-number:empno;'S$9G999D99'?>,1,1)?>,'-',<?format-number:empno;'S$9G999D99'?>,<?format-number:empno;'$9G999D99'?>)?>
    But this above syntax is too long, that it doesn't fit in the text form field options-> help text window.

  • How to sign in?  (problem with username and/or password)

    I created an account long ago for the Support Communities with an Apple ID:  xxx.mac.com.
    I created an account not so long ago for iTunes with an Apple ID:  xxx.gmail.com.
    Where they suppost to be the same?  Wasn't sure.  In any event, I've been using them both without a hitch.  Then I realized that I could have a password recovery problem with my Support Communities account because I haven't had the xxx.mac.com email address for several years now.
    Problem:  When I use my older Apple ID for Support Communities, it will not allow me to change my email to my current xxx.gmail.com address.  I suspect it recognizes the address is already being used with me newer Apple ID for iTunes.  My solution was to simply ditch the older ID and try signing in with my newer ID.  Unfortunately with that route, I get:
    "We're sorry.  Your account could not be created due to system issues.  Please contact Apple Support Communities with the information below to create your account."  [Which I've done, but no response.]
    Questions:  Are the ID support to be the same or different?  Either way, it doesn't really matter to me, but I either need to update my address for the older ID or be able to use my newer ID in Support Communities.  Because of this, I'm unable to use any type of email notification and I'm afraid I could have a problem with password recovery if I were in that position.
    Thanks for any comments.

    Problem solved and completely my error.
    My login with the old Apple Discussions was [email protected]  At some point, with the new Apple Support Communities, some time ago, I was prombed to create a new account and I did so.  My username was simply "xxx" without the "@mac.com".
    So that was the problem.  My old [email protected] still had my old address.  I kept logging in with this ID and kept trying to update my address.  Where I thought it was recognizing that this address was already used with my iTunes account, it was because it was used with my newer Support Communities ID (xxx) that I didn't even remember I had created.
    Turned out it was something so simple.  (I hate when that happens.)  I had to play my "idiot card".
    Thanks to Apple support for the direct email correspondence that finally got me on the right track.
