Display Screen is All Screwed Up

All of a sudden my display is unstable and the screen is moving all over the places and the icons are scattered all over and nothing is controllable. What's going on and how do I fix it please?
Thanks.

Hi, One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Ever since updating to ff3.6 my ebay pages load funny after I get thru the initial screen. the formatting is all screwed from the way it should be and all images have disapppeared. WAZUP????

I get to the MY EBAY screen ok most of the time but if I want to go search for something or view one of the items I am bidding on the page display get all screwed up. It seems as if the page was disassembled in pieces and stretched out vertically. All images are gone and everything is out of place.

Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign

Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign (circle w line through it) when attempting to login from guest account it takes me to screen that says that the computer will restart to a safe safari system for the guest user. I waited for a longer time and the grey denim screen comes up. By the apple in left upper corner it said I think LSA? Then safari menu bar. The page it loads to us file:///System/Installation/CDIS/Mac%2005%20X%20Utilities.app/Contents/Resource s/English.iproj/GuestLoginInfirmation.html
Can someone HELP? I'm afraid I might do something wrong

What backups do you have?

TS3274 My Ipad display screen is coming up with blue background and pink/purple lines all across the screen. It's also blurry and difficult to see icons on home screen and when apps are opened up. Has anyone had a similar problem?

The display screen on my Ipad is coming up all blurred with blue background mixed with pink and purple lines. It's difficult to see icons but apps are still accessible. Colors are off and images are very unclear on apps and home screen.
Has anyone had this problem or any advice on troubleshooting?
Thanks.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
But it could also be a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Funky orangeish-red-pinkish "[ ]" symbols all-over my display screen HELP

Hello,
I'm getting these funky looking orangeish red pinkish "[ ]" symbols all-over my display screen in everything. What is it and How to correct it? Is is a virus or a systems glitch? What should i do?
::: Sad worried face :::

I would first try the other DVI port of your graphics card. Then, ensure all connectors are secure, I'd actually disconnect all of them and reconnect them, and see if anything changes.
You can also try reseating your graphics card.

Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. The phone has a 1 year warranty. If it's no longer under warranty, a replacement is $269.

How to get One Selection Screen for all queries?

Hi Experts,
I have three queries having selection screens. All the selection screen have the same variables, but the reports are different.
I have created a workbook having these three queries. Each time when the workbook opens, the three selection screen pops up one after the another. Same values are entered in all the selection screens.
Now the user wants only one selection screen for all the three reports. Is it possible? I tried but I do not see any way.
I think there should be some way of getting it done.
Waiting for your inputs,
With kind regards,
Shreeem

Hi
If a workbook contains multiple queries that use the same variable, you are prompted to enter the variable values again for each query. To avoid this, set the Display Duplicate Variables Only Once flag.
Goto Workbook Settings>Under Variables Tab>select Display Duplicate Variables only Once

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 another cable
- 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.

How to increase "brightness" of Display Screen on ...

Hi I have just up-graded to to a Nokia 5800 XM which seems the "bees knees" to me as I have never had such an all singing and dancing mobile phone before (had a 6230i about 5 years as my up-grades usually went to daughters or not taken but 6230i lost it's life a couple of weeks ago when it toook an accidental dip in the washing up bowl *) )
I like lots about the new phone , especially the QWERTY keyboard - I can actually do texts now as the old way on key pad took me forever! Oh and handwriting tablet is great - can even write texts!
The only down side is the "display screen" seems rather dim in average to bright daylight ( I am not visually impaired not particularly mentally impaired either as a teacher) SO DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE SCREEN BRIGHTER?
Thanks Bri

Mac mini and a 30 in display screen questions

Hi everyone .
I wanted to no if anyone out there knows if the Apple Mac mini will run a apple 30 inch screen . I want to run my dell 30 inch screen on it at full resolution of 2560 x 1600 . Thats what my display runs at like the apple one . But before I buy one of these mac mini machines . I want to no if it will handle dual link for the 30 inch display .
Also I what to run the sims 3 game on it . I see that some of the older mac mini will not run with gma -950 series graphic card thats built in to the older ones . Only the newer made mac mini machines . I see that apple dont have any newer style mac mini left for sale right now . So ether I have to spend 600.00 dolars at the apple store off the shelf . But I dont want to do that right now . so I have to wait for now .
But what I really want to no is if The mac mini is wort the money . I see some people say that the imac is better . But I dont want not use my 24 inch dell display screen . I payed close to 600.00 new with a 5 year warranty for it . Plus the mac mini has built in bluetooth and airport card for it .So I dont have to buy it extra .
If you have any reviews on it , I would like to hear what you have to say about it .
Thank You

Thanks for responding to my post but Thats somewhat what I was looking for . The Main question I wanted to no Did anyone out there Have a mac mini hooked up to a 30 inch screen. I need to no if the screen will have the same resolution as my power mac g5 1.8 dual with a Nvivia 6800 GT with duallink video card . The card I have from nvivia has a max resolution of 2560 x 1600 at it maxed out .
My game graphics look very good on my power pc g5 dual 1.8 with the dualink card from nvivia .I would buy a new mac pro but I dont have money coming out of my a*s. I'm fine with my regular g5 but the only reason I want to buy a mac mini is to play the sims 3 .Me and my wife are really mad that maxius the maker of the game , will not wright a new program for mac . The only one they are making is not a true mac software or program under os x . What I have learned at the sims 3 web forum is that the current game for mac os x is a windows game with a mac emulator . The people that are also playing it under a power book like 2007 model with gma 950 graphics . It wont play at all . Nice going apple on this one you really want the people with powerpc g5 to buy new macs .I think apple and maxis the game maker had there hand in on this .Apple dont you get enough money you have squeeze every bit of money out of us you can .
But back I'm done lashing out at apple for now .So as it stands I buy a apple mac mini or a dell hybrid small computer windows based by dell 499.00 us dollars . or a apple for 599.00 dollars at the apple store .But the downside is that in the future it may not be able to play the new games in three years or so and be out of date . WE waist more electronics in this country than any country in the world . But I'm not the first person encounter this problem . There's many more people that still have the g5 line and like there true mac computer not this fake intel machine . Why did apple do this in the first place start with a intel chip in there computers in the past not goto IBM to buy there chips ?. If this was done in the first place we would be better off right now .
So back to me buying a mac mini this is were i'm at right now stuck not able to play the sims 3 because it not a true mac written game under unix like all the games in the past . I had game from my windows machine that were written for windows 98se and the games played fine under windows xp no problems at all .I did not have to shell out hundreds of dollars to play a game like this ? . I think apple and maxis is taking us for a ride and riping us off . Maybe some of you people dont think so . Me my self dont think that and am very mad at this .
so that all i mave to say for now .

I have a spare Apple display screen an would like to make this a second screen for my iMac, would like some help on how to do this

I have a spare Apple display screen and would like to make this a second scren for my iMac,
would like to have some ideas on how to do this

First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

Can Photoshop CS6 be used with Interactive Display Screens?

Our High School uses large interactive display screens (Sahara Clevertouch) in each classroom connected to a mix on Windows 7 & 8.1 laptops and desktops.
We have the same problem with all of them that only seems to happen in Photoshop:
If you use a mouse or the trackpad on a laptop, even when plugged into the Clevertouch, then everything works fine.
If you then try using the touch on the screen as an alternative to the mouse, it detects the movement, but turns into panning mode (little white hand) rather than whatever tool you where using.
Bizarrely if you start the touch off the side of the page and move onto the page it draws the line correctly: the problem only occurs if the line (etc) starts on the page.
Can anyone let me know the setting I need to change to get Photoshop to behave normally?
Thanks
Philip Evans

Unlikely, but feel free to try using compatibility modes and al lthe otehr usual tricks.

Running Safari 6.0.3 When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black. If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it. It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2 Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
