External screen dims when opening different apps?

Hi All ----
Seems my external screen dims and rectifies when opening different apps - like some kind of brightness adjustment going on... it doesnt happen on the MBP, just on the external screen --- i've checked all possible settings on Ext. Displ. / re-booted / repaired perms... cant quite figure it out.
I dont think this is energy-saver related.
Many thnx for any help in adv. ---
cheers,
J.

The problem with that is, it's hard to put it back together without assuring that you're not pinching the cable again.
Instructions can be found here.
As he says, the cable can be found at Small Dog Electronics:
http://www.smalldog.com/product/43417
If you need replacement feet, they can be found at MicroDoc.
The specific link you need on PowerBook Tech's website can be found here.
If it looks like too much for you to handle, you may want to check out DT & T Computer Services. Perhaps in a metropolitan area like Austin you can check the Yellow Pages and find a technician willing to match the price.
At one point, DominionTech in Colchester, Vermont was offering the repair for $79.90, but I'm not sure if that price is still available.
Good luck.

The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens.

The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens. It also doesn't zooms in while pressing the home button to return. The gesture is just like any other Android phone. Like while closing an app by pressing the home button the icons seem like zooming in and falling back to their respective places. This thing happens in my friends' iPhones but this thing doesn't happen on my iPhone 5C. Please help.. I am unable to find anything wrong with the settings either.

I have another query though. Is it possible to always logged into my Gtalk from iPhone? I am using an app called Gtalk Lite. But every time I double press the home button and swipe up the apps to close them from running in the background Gtalk lite logs me off. I have to log in to Gtalk lite again. I was looking for something like that happens on Android phones. You are always logged in even after you close them from running in the background. And also is it possible to log in to more than one gmail account on Gtalk in iPhone?

But it seems the OP has a setup where the media is on the external drive, and the library files are on the internal. This is what I refer to as a split library, Migrating such from one computer to another is not straightforward. Often iTunes will have some definite idea about where the files should live, and updating the setting of the media folder won't change that. If it requires a drive letter change that is usually not too hard, but sometimes there is another preference file that needs tweaking to indicate which of the old & new layouts for the library is being used. In more extreme cases I have a script for automatically making track by track repairs.

Has anyone solved the problem with " lagging " response when opening nay app ?

since " upgrading " ( if you can call it that ! ) to IOS7 on iPhone 4, everyone is complaining about the delay when opening any App. At the Genius bar at Apple store they referred to this as " lagging ". After a quick diagnostic of my phone, they suggested a full Restore. Big waste of my time and data. No change whatsoever. I had to go through the full process of syncronizing music and photos and resetting everything.
I also talked about the new Calendar and especially the Reminders. The new Reminders App is quite simply horrible and no longer attractive and consequently a useless Icon. Even the calendar is labor intensive. I tried to register a future doctor's appointment and the receptionist finally said " Why dont I just call you a day befpre ? ". How Apple managed to make something so simple so complicated is beyond me. The rotary calendar anc clock is a joke.
It bears repeating, Apple makes too many unnecessary design changes, I dont want to have to invest all this time going to work shops to figure out what they have done with basic apps, especially if its to find out what I already figured out.
I would however like to know what Apple intends to do about the lagging. I have another 18 months on the iPhone 4.

No. It was designed to work that way.

Why system alarm sound when opening an app on my MBP 13"?

Recently started to hear system alarm sound when opening an app., eg. Mail, Safari (usually from the Dock). No apparent operational problem, but quite annoying, especially since I don't know why. Happens on my 13" MBP, but not on my iMac, both running ML 10.7.4.
Repair Disk Permissions and Verify Disk both OK.
Any clues from anyone??

Disable: Play user interface sound effects in System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
If that doesn't make a diffeence, check your Dashboard widgets.

What does a 2 on the upper right corner of the Mail icon mean? When opened, the app is essentially blank and unresponsive. We've been using Mail for weeks.

Thanks. I used an Apple in 79-81, and got the first PC in EDS (Ross Perot) in Jan, 82. Installed corporate email in 83. Now have 4 pcs in a house of 2 people, supporting our 5 kids and 15 grandkids. The iPad is what it took to get my wife to use her own email address. I should have known about the red circle - my bad. I did get fixed with a reset. Vern Olson

On iPad2, the screen is very dim when opening an iBook only.

The display is normal on all settings except when opening an iBook. I turned auto brightness off and on, but neither setting made any difference. I first noticed the problem prior to upgrading to the latest version of iOS, and after upgrading, the problem was fixed for several weeks. Now it's back to dim books. Also, the Kindle books and other apps are normal brightness.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Also, iBooks has its own setting for brightness (in the format/themes section- looks like aA in the upper right when a book is opened). But I'm not 100% sure how independant of the overall brightness setting it is.

Why does my iPhone screen dim when I send text messages?

Whenever I'm texting someone and I tap the voice button to use talk to text, the screen dims to black on my 5s, if my face gets close to the phone.
Also, if I put the phone up to my ear or near my face whenever I have text message convo window open, the phone beeps and dims. It starts trying to record a memo or something?
I'm jailbroken and I have never seen this happen before. Any ideas on what is going on?
Would appreciate any help! - bud

We really do not support jail broken devices as it violates the terms of this site. That said the dimming when the phone gets close to your face is a normal function via a proximity sensor to stop inadvertent button triggers

How to default to "All Inboxes" when opening Mail app

I just upgraded to a iPhone 5s, but I was having this issue also when I was using my 4s. I never had problems until I upgraded to iOS7. I routinely get mail to all my email accounts and would prefer that when I open the mail app, that it opens to "all inboxes" first rather than the inbox of the first account listed. A little history....
4s - my default email account was set to Gmail, but when launching the mail app, it ALWAYS opened to the inbox of my first account listed...Exchange.
5s - I have deleted the Exchange account, but the mail app continues to open in the inbox of the first account listed, which happens to be my default account...Gmail.
When I shut down the mail app, I ALWAYS go back to the "All Inboxes" screen, but when I relaunch mail, it continues to open in the inbox of the the first account listed.
I've read through other threads of people having this same issue, but any fixes mentioned seem to be 2011 or earlier. So obviously, this has been happening for some time on other versions of iOS. Is there a real, CURRENT, fix to this issue?

Allan,
Yes, you are correct in everything you said. I should have been more detailed. My apologies.
I want my mail app to open to this screen, which it used to. I was referring to it by the incorrect name. Not all inboxes but to all my mailboxes screen (see image). Leaving the app open on this screen, moving to another app, and then returning to the mail app is fine. However, when I close mail and relaunch, it will open to the inbox of the first account listed, which is Gmail.
I'd like to add, Allan, that you acutally made me away of a possible solution to this issue if no true fix isn't available. I like this screen because I get to see how many messages are in which account and prioritize accordingly. However, I could do as you suggested and keep my mail open to "all inboxes". I see all my mail, but I can still decide which messages to prioritize without reading them. It isn't THE solution I was looking for, but is A solution until Apple fixes it. Thanks!

When opening my apps they close and go off

Hi, Ive had an Ipad 2 for about 2 years now, and still does its job on the internet and that, but recently I was playing a game called First Touch 2014 when it just froze and went off, and its been like that for 2 weeks as soon as i click on the game, just shoots straight off, but the main one that i want to sort out is my Game Center, from last night it just shoots off, as soon as i click on it, bang straight off, you see the points for like 2 seconds, and then straight off, to the home screen,
occasionally when i'm on the home screen, it will just shoot off the page, and go straight to the home page but i can still open the safari app afterwards , but dosent always open right back to where i was,
its more the game center im after sorting, I dont know why its playing up like this,
If anyone could help that would be much appreciated,
Thank You
Gareth.

W530 External Moniters Flicker when opening when opening programs

So I have been having issues with all my external screens fliscker and generally freaking out anytime i open an application that utilizes the nvidia GPU (K200M in my case), such as Photoshop. While freaking out the windows, the title bars also get knocked out of whack, for example having transparency just fail for the minimize/maximize/close buttons disappearing to show what is under the window.
I have the laptop docked with screen closed and 2 U2212HM connected through the displayport connectors and a third U2212HM connected via VGA. I dont observe the issues normally on the laptop without the externals hooked up.
I have tried installing the NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver version 9.18.13.3302 / 8.15.10.2725 which supposedly
"Version <9.18.13.3302 / 8.15.10.2725>
(Fix) Fixed an issue where the screen of some external monitors might flicker when launching applications."
but there is no improvement. Updating ti the latest Nvidia drivers doesnt help either.

Hi,
Is there any problem when you open a Word or Excel file from local drive?
Please try to add the network share location to the Trusted Location to check if it helps.
If you have any security program installed, please temporarily turn off it to test the issue again.
In addition, we can also perform a Windows clean boot to check of this issue is caused by software conflict. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us
If above didn’t fix the issue, please open the Windows event viewer and check if we can find some related logs.
