I have flashing grey dots in my calendar and the battery is draining very fast

Hi,
My battery has started to drain very quickly in the last couple of days. it now only lasts about 3 hours after a full charge. After playing with it for hours, I can only find one strange thing. The grey dots in my calender (that show when you have an appt) are constantly blinking. I believe this may be draining the battery. Does anyone know why these are blinking and how to stop them.
I using an iphone 5s

You can't downgrade IOS - there is already an ongoing discussion re: battery see link below

Large grey bar across screen on custom *.desktop session

hi all,
as a bit of experimentation i set a custom session that starts no window manager, but just launches Chromium-browser.
it worked fine (and blindingly fast too) but for some reason there is a thick (60-80 pixel high) default-grey bar across the bottom of the screen.
anyone know why?

In short, there isn't. Not without a window manager.
An X server does not have a concept of "maximized" window, it only cares about rendering it's content [usually] in a box with externally specified geometry. That geometry is passed to the X server by the application itself or by other means, like window manager.
You may try to run Chromium with the --geometry=XxY+0+0 parameter if Chromium supports it. Or you can look for some other ways to set an X window geometry. I'd say the easiest way would be using a window manager. I guess you'd like to go for something minimal, like twm or matchbox.

Grey Dots on Display

I have a 6 month old MBP. About 2 months ago I noticed a large grey dot about 2 mm in diameter on the bottom of the screen. Would have taken it in but I am in Europe until next month.
Today I noticed 4 - 6 more in the vicinity of the larger dot. It seems they are multiplying.
Is this what a dead pixel looks like on an LED?
Anyone know Apple's policy on this?
Does there have to be a certain number of pixels dead or defective before they replace it?

Hey, I bought my MBP in Jan 07 and by May I started to notice grey spots on my screen and also what looked like a hair in my screen. Well what looked like a hair might have actually been a hair and eventually disappeared at the bottom of the screen. Once I got out of school i took my MBP to a mac store and they replaced the screen. I was only without my laptop for about 4 days.
I have started noticing grey dots again on my replacement screen starting last month, and will be bringing in my MBP tomorrow...

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

An old MacBook Air, on start up just have a grey screen with a spinning wheel? please help

I have a mac book air. On start up I get just a grey screen with a spinning wheel. This lasts for about 15 minutes then I have just a deep blue screen. can anyone help please?

You should find the USB stick that shipped with your MBA and hold the Option key while rebooting. This will allow you to boot up and try doing a Repair Disk. If yours is an early model with a HDD your drive may have died. You can get a repalcement drive from OWC. They are pretty easy to install and the tools come with the kit.

After upgrading to Lion should I have tatty grey screen on opening with boxes for password user?

After upgrading to Lion on Wednesday last I now have a tatty grey screen on booting-up with the two boxes for user name and password.Gone is the old blue screen. Does anyone else have a grey opening screen?
Also this evening on booting the grey screen appeared but I could not immediately type any info into either box.After switching on/off several times I gave up and left the iMAC on with an inactive grey screen.About five minutes later the HP printer went through a re-calibration or cleaning process,of its own accord, and I noticed that the cursor on the screen had moved of its own accord.I then found that I could insert info into the two boxes and here I am with the iMAC open.Anone come across this issue?

Hello again Gary,
After trying your PRAM suggestion, everything was OK however, when I restarted my iMac the next day, the same Grey Screen apppeared whith the request for user name and password?
This has repeated for the last 3 days!
I have tried the Utility to check the HD "Verify Disk Permissions" which shows a long list of "faults"? and I have done this twice now.
Also I have to do the PRAM start-up in order to get online and use other programs. I get frequent messages that say my "Applications" are for the wrong OS?
After using the PRAM keyboard start-up I get a screen with a "Bar" similar to the Windows XP start-up proocess and a grey blob moves along this "Bar" until the iMac starts.
On one site it mentioned that this iMac may need an "Firmware" update/correction; however I can not find any Firmware to download for this machine.
My iMac is a 21.5" Model A1311.
Do I need to do a complete Format of the HDD and re-install Leopard and then try Lion again?
Very frustrated,
Maureen

When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

They can fix it at the Apple Store. I wish you could get it fixed for free, but the warranty doesn't cover accidents like this . It sounds like you understand this, I just want to make sure you know.

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

I have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. show i buy a new snow leopard disc fromapple

i have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. should i buy a new snow leopard disc from apple and install that as my new operating system. please help as had the computer a month now and still cant use it yet.

You can call AppleCare and request a replacement set of the original DVD's that shipped with the computer for a nominal charge. You will need the serial number (look on the bottom of the stand) and a credit card. Click the AppleCare Contact Info link. Without knowing which iMac you have it's very difficult to say if a new SL disc would work or not.

Why do I have to manually slide my screen to see everything in the window? It's like the window became to large for screen

Go to
Settings>General>Accessibility and look for zoom
also, three finger double-tap should undo the setting.

Large Grey Band at Bottom of Screen

Large Grey Band at Bottom of Screen when I do a full monitor view on Photoshop. It doesn't always happen. Been using PS for more then a decade and never seen this problem.
I'm using the most recent Photoshop
I'm using OS X 10.9.3

We prefer not believe anyone that says that. Please give a specific, exact version.
Many, many users turn out to be wrong when they tell us that in good faith.
As Gene says, your OS is also not up to date.
