External screen arrangement has stopped 'sticking' after logout on one account.
I've been using an external screen with my 2006 MacBook 2.1 since forever, but recently the screen arrangement I've set up doesn't stick when I reboot or relogin. It reverts to a previous arrangement, and I have to redo the arrangement in System Preferences each time.
Is there a way round this short of a new user account?
thanks
Reply much appreciated. Although I do not claim to have much knowledge of this type of hardware and software problems but they do give me a challenge. I have been trying various things. while I was doing this, switching the pc on and off, at one point the display on LCD came back.
When I checked the status in Device manager the error message,'WINDOWS HAS STOPPED THIS DEVICE AS WINDOWS HAS REPORTED PROBLEM (CODE 43) had disappeared and it said.' The device is working properly'!
I notice that the CPU temp rises upto about 51 deg C, the fan goes crazy (fast and slow)and the temp falls down and fluctuates between 27 and 48.
The screen goes blank again and come on some time and most times not!
To me it looks like that the chipset gives up when too hot.
I intend to open up the laptop and see if the GPU chip is seated, has good contact with its heatsink etc.
If anyone has any further suggestions, will be appreciated.

My iPad 1 has stopped working after trying to instal iOS 5. Can you help restore?
My iPad has stopped working after trying unsuccessfully to instal iOS5. All that's currently showing on the iPad screen is a white USB cable with a thick arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo (black double note within a white rimmed circle and a blue background).I cannot switch it off and have seemingly lost everything that was on it.
Please help!That means you have to restore the device with iTunes now. So connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore the iPad.

I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.
enjoy free web..... :)

Creation Time: 2:00:30 AMTo go along with Michael's suggestion, something like AA9.2 is needed for X64 systems I think. Also, be careful. Acrobat is not licensed for use on a server. Using it as a user is fine, but not as a server application. Read the license carefully.

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro. If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
Thank you for your help.Hi there,
Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
Best Regards,

My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)
My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)
Originally i noticed that it was less responsive but now it does absolutely nothing.
I have cleaned the button and also tried calibrating (opening an apple app, holding the power button and then the home button)
Nothing has helped and I am forced to use assisted touch.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig.No advice? I suppose I could try sacrificing an android to the apple gods.....

My 3G iPhone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says its sent but it does not arrive. Any ideas?
Are you seeing this problem when sending a SMS, MMS or iMessage? Does it go away if you disable MMS or iMessage in Settings > Messages?
Make sure the phone number that you aren't able to send texts to has an area code.
If that doesn't help, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages -
The last several days I have not been able to access the dial pad. When I go to phone a pop up appears that says "unfortunatly contacts has stopped working." To remove the pop up you have to hit 'ok', the it goes back to the home screen. This also happens when I go to contacts.
You migh give resetting your NVRAM a try:

Why has my keyboard stopped working after Flash Player update?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do things work in Safe Mode?
