  • Upload file box off screen

    I've recently had trouble with my macbook while uploading files. I click on the "upload file" button and the box that pops up that lets me choose a file is so large that the bottom is off the screen. This means that I can't click on "upload" or "cancel". The only way I know how to proceed is to click on a file and push the enter key. Does anyone know how to make that box smaller so that it fits completely on the screen?

    HI,
    Go to System Preferences/Displays. Check your resolution.
    Also, try Facebook's Simple Loader.
    Hard to see in this pic but under where you see "Cancel" click where you see:
    "Try the Simple Uploader" ... much easier to use.

  • Desktop icons off screen when removing second monitor

    Hi there, well I have found a few bugs so far using Leopard so thought I should see if anyone else is getting them:
    @ I use a second monitor, and if I remove the monitor, although the rest of the OS resizes to just the laptop, the desktop icons are nowhere to be seen.
    @ My USB mouse doesn't work any more.
    @ Although I prefer the way the connected servers now work, there is a problem in Finder, where I have to restart Finder to be able to see some connections.
    Apart from that I am pretty happy with the speed improvements and there are less bugs for me than I had read about (although obviously as production software you would expect minimum bugs!).

    I have the exact same problem, MacBook Pro 15" 2.33 GHz and the same type of Apple display. I use the display at the office, disconnect, bring my PB home, and when I wake it up the PB acts like the display is till connected - no desktop icons visible (although strangely, it shows the Dock and the Finder Menu) until after I restart.
    Clicking "detect displays" doesn't work, neither does clicking the highlighted configuration.
    My daughter also has a problem with her MacBook and her Apple Cinema display, which has to be set as mirrored or it won't display anything, it somehow isn't detected the way it used to be. Why I mentioned this is because I never had this problem before, and neither did my daughter. It started quite recently, so I guess it is related to a system software update.

  • Will not boot up get file icon on screen with ?

    not my computer so cannot give more info as I cannot speak with my granddaughter any more  till tonight.
    Just wondered if anyone has any ideas.
    It was working OK yesterday. she said she has not downloaded anything 
    It is a 15" MBP, with OS from September 2009
    thanks

    Saying that it can't find the last boot volume and that you need to use control panel to set startup disk or repair/restore and that your boot drive volume has a bad directory. Try booting from OS X DVD (use c on startup or option key) and go to Utility menu and then Disk Utility.

  • ? mark in file icon on iMac

  • White screen with flashing file icon with question mark mean

    What does this mean.   We are getting a white screen with flashing file icon with question mark inside the file. 

    It almost certainly means it can't find a bootable volume (one with OS X on it).
    Which means most likely you will have to find your original system installation DVD and install it. Then you should figure out what caused the problem.
    Read this to diagnose it before resorting to reinstalling the OS:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
    Excerpt:
    Additional steps
    If your Mac still starts to a flashing question mark, follow the steps below. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one.
    Select your Mac OS X startup disk with Startup Manager by restarting and holding the Option key. After your Mac starts up, restart again to verify that the flashing question mark does not appear.
    If the issue persists, insert your Mac OS X installation disc. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc.
    MacBook Air note: On a MacBook Air, there are two options for starting up from Mac OS X media: Either connect a MacBook Air SuperDrive to the MacBook Air via the USB port and restart the computer, holding down the C key during startup, or use Remote Install Mac OS X to startup from a system software DVD that's located on a partner computer. Once started up from Mac OS X media, skip to step 3.
    Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
    From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Don't click Continue.
    Select your Mac OS X disk (named "Macintosh HD" by default) in the left side of the Disk Utility window.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click Repair Disk to verify and repair any issues with your Mac OS X startup disk.
    After repairing the disk, try to start up normally.
    Important: If Disk Utility finds issues it cannot repair, you may need to back up as much of your data as possible (or use Time Machine to back up to a different disk), then erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS X. You should back up important files and data before erasing a drive. Erasing deletes everything on the hard disk (including things on your desktop). Also, you can install Mac OS X onto an external disk, start from the external disk, and use Migration Assistant to transfer items from your usual internal Mac OS X startup disk to the external disk, then erase the internal disk and reinstall Mac OS X.
    If the issue persists, and Disk Utility didn't find any irreparable issues, quit Disk Utility, quit the Installer, select your disk when prompted, and restart.
    If the issue continues, reset PRAM. Note: After resetting PRAM, if the computer starts up normally, reselect the startup disk in the Startup Disk preferences.
    If none of these steps resolve the issue, start up from the Mac OS X Installation disc and reinstall Mac OS X.

  • Got a white screen with flashing file icon

    Why do I have a white screen with flashing file icon with question mark inside?

    It means your iMac cannot located a valid system to boot.
    Insert the CD that came with the iMac and allow it to boot. Once it gets the point where it's offering to install the OS, go to the top menu and choose diskutility. Perform a repair on the main drive "Macintosh HD".

  • PICT file (transparent background) - motion (from off screen left to right)

    I have a PICT file with a transparent background. I imported it and put it in a track above a photo. Basically I just want to to go from off screen left to off screen right. I tried selecting the pict image, going to the motion tab and using keyframes in the ‘centre’ option to move the image off to the sides. The problem is that when I view it, its almost like every second/third line of pixels lags (Making the edges jagged).
    The edges of the image are fine when there is no motion, and it seems to get worse the more distance it is traveling.
    The only thing I have changed is the 'quick time video settings compressor'; it is ‘none’ because that is the only way I could find that wouldn’t end up messing up the sides of the image when I imported it.
    I have been using final cut for about 3 hours? So I am not sure what to do, or if I am even approaching this problem the right way. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
    I am currently trying to find a way to get a screen shot, but can’t get it to paste into any programs I have….

    Edit: this happens when ever I do any scaling/movement/rotation/etc...
    Here is an example of what I mean:

  • White screen with file icon and Question mark after a kernel panic???

    I'm using my girlfriends 20" iMac and her computer keeps having kernel panics. And then at times when we restart the computer, we get a white screen with a file icon and a question mark inside. Any ideas on what to do???? Her graduation project is on that computer and she is stressed like you wouldn't believe. Safe to say, I'm taking the brunt of it. Please help!!!

    It sounds like you might be having a hard drive problem. The folder icon with question mark means the computer can't find a startup drive/system folder. I suggest that you back up all important data, especially her project. Before bringing it in for service, run the Apple Hardware Test - put in your original system restore DVD and restart the computer, holdng down the "D" key. Run the extended diagnositics (it will take over an hour (depending on how much RAM you have) and will tell you if there is anything wrong with your hardware. If it dinds a problem then you can take it to the nearest Apple authorized service provider to check it out.

  • Question mark on "file icon" appears on startup screen

    I need some help, when I turn on my iMac 9 out of 10 times it makes a "clicking" noise and then a "file icon" with a question mark on it appears, it doesn't start. Some times it starts just fine, please let me know if there's a solution. Thanks in advance...

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    First do you have and iPod or external HD connect, if so disconnect them and restart to see if that helps.
    If not use the article in link below to help you repair your startup volume from the Install Disk 1 that came with your iMac.
