Help: Monitor has "popped" out of the neck slightly, now crooked

Hi all,
I recently shipped my iMac G4 17"inch with no problem in terms of functionality. The internal components are fine and new pixels were slain in transit. However, the neck must have had some serious stress on it, because the neck has detached slightly from the back of the flat panel display. It has "popped out" on one side, making it crooked, tilting to the right slightly. (In other words, the silver circle that connects the neck to the flat panel is raised on one side and is no longer flush to the monitor, making it uneven and tilting the monitor in front). I tried applying some pressure, laying it flat on the screen and forcing it back into place, but I had no luck at all. Any suggestions? Is there anyway to detach the two and put it back together?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, 
Although there are manuals available explaining how to disconnect the neck from the dome (please email me with your processor speed if you want a link) I don't think it will get you very far. The neck does not extend in to the iMac's dome base hardly at all so you won't get any leverage. I'd simply suggest wedging one side of the dome up to make the display level and put it down to experience. ;-(

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • Logout has timed out because the app (program name) failed to quit

    Hi,
    I've been having an odd problem with my Mac since I did the last software upgrade.
    I upgraded to 10.5.8 and this problem has been occurring sporadically ever since.
    Basically, 7 times out of 10, when I try and shut the computer down, I get the following message: "Logout has timed out because the app (program name) failed to quit."
    The program apparently causing the problem varies - sometimes it's Photoshop, sometimes iTunes, OpenOffice, etc. Today it failed because Software Update (which I'd just run, in order to install the latest update) failed to quit!
    The only way I can get the computer to shut down in this case is to press and hold the power button.
    My Mac is a 20 inch 2.66 GHz with 2GB of RAM, and is about 18 months old. Up until the last upgrade I had no problems with it.
    Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it?

    HI,
    Open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilites)
    Click the pop up menu and select: My Processes
    You can Force Quit any of the apps you mentioned from that window befoe you shut down.

  • Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit.

    Hello world... (Mac world that is)
    The message says more "Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit. To try again, quit Mail and choose Log Out from the Apple menu."
    I tried everything. Still does not let me shut down.
    Other programs will not shut down at this time, including Finder. I also know that the Time Machine icon has been spinning for over an hour. So I imagine we are in a loop of sorts.
    Unfortunately, I have had similar troubles before that I did not record. So I figure I start now and see if somebody out there can help me.
    Peace!

    I'm having the same problem (can't logout, shut down or restart), but the referenced solution doesn't seem to apply. I do not get a "Cannot connect to server" message, I just get a "Logout has timed out" message. It seemed to happen after an automatic software update that was supposed to involve a restart, but it hasn't been able to restart since.
    Can you please clarify, what is meant by "delete the AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary, which is located under the root node" (with reference to file loginwindow.plist)?
    This is what the loginwindow.plist file looks like now:
    bplist00Ñ!AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary¢ÒTPathTHide-/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HPEventHandler.app/Ò _N/Library/Application Support/Hewlett-Packard/Software Update/HP Scheduler.app//27
    I was at the genius bar earlier, and they said I need to 'archive and install' in order to 'reset the OS'... but there's got to be a better answer than that, no? Perhaps this plist thing? I'm surprised that even powering off the imac doesn't reset anything... it just comes back the way it was. I'm supposed to bring the 25 inch imac in to the mac store for surgery (archive and install), but seeing several similar cases on this discussion forum, without archive and install identified as the clear solution, I'm in search of a second opinion... or any suggestion for how to simply make this work the way it was before? Is it 10.5.4 that is causing this? Should I go back to 10.5.3?
    Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

  • The query locator has timed out on the server side.

    Hi
    I am getting the error:The query locator has timed out on the server side.
    What to do now?
    AG

    Hi
    Are you using Salesforce.com for creating reports?
    When joining large-sized tables, you may run into a query locator time out
    error. The query locator is a server-side cursor generated by Salesforce.com
    and is used to navigate the query result. It will automatically expire in 15
    minutes without any activity.
    In the case of joining two tables, the report processing engine will read one
    table partly, and then it will process the other table. If the processing time is
    longer than 15 minutes, the Crystal Reports Salesforce.com Driver will try to
    read the rest of the records in the first table and the cursor in that query will
    time out. In the case of joining multiple tables, the chance of running into a
    query locator time issue is higher as the report processing engine might have
    to return to handle the first table after finishing processing other tables,
    increasing the possibility of a query locator time out error in the first table.
    If you run into query locator time out issue, we recommend that you add
    filters into your report to reduce the amount of records you fetch from
    Salesforce.com.
    However, if that is not possible, you can try to reverse the link order in the
    case of joining two tables. For example, you linked table A to table B, then
    you can try to link table B to table A.
    Hope this helps!!
    Regards

  • Mini 210 screen is popped out from the cover.

    As the subject indicates, I noticed a clicking noise when I closed the netbook.  When I opened the netbook, I discovered that the clicking is coming from the screen popping out of the botton of the cover - just below the HP logo.  It does not seem to causing any performance issues, but I was wondering if anyone else has the same issue.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I have had the same thing happened to my HP Pavillion Dv2000
    I think my warranty has expired but is there anyway to get HP to cover this? When I put the screen at certain angles the separation between the screen and the plastic covering is almost half an inch apart. I feel like it is going to snap at some point. Ridiculous.

    The photos are on the ipod.  Photo sync will erase them.  I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
    I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck.  They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

  • The SQL has aged out of the cursor cache.

    Hi,
    on 10g R2, Ihave the following :
    The SQL has aged out of the cursor cache.
    Does-it mean that undo_retention is not enough big?
    For the moment it is 10800, 3 hours.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The issue is that when in sql advisory I click on "Schedule SQL tunning advisor" it gives me "The SQL has aged out of the cursor cache".
    If shared_pool is =0 , (automatic management) would it be usefull to define shared_pool_reserved_size value ?
    In documentation it is said :
    7.3.8.2 When SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE Is Too Small
    The reserved pool is too small when the value for REQUEST_FAILURES is more than zero and increasing. To resolve this, increase the
    value for the SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE and SHARED_POOL_SIZE accordingly. The settings you select for these parameters
    depend on your system's SGA size constraints.
    Increasing the value of SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE increases the amount of memory available on the reserved
    list without having an effect on users who do not allocate memory from the reserved list.And actually I have REQUEST_FAILURES =15.
    Thank you.

  • My iphone 5c screen is popping out from the top right side , can i exchange it for a new one at the apple store ?

    my iphone 5c screen is popping out from the top right side , can i exchange it for a new one at the apple store ?

    If it is still under warranty, and they determine it is a manufacturing defect, they will replace it. Be sure to back everything up before taking it into the Apple Store. That way, if you do get a new device, you will be able to set it up from the backup.

  • Logout has timed out because the app MirrorAgent failed to quit

    I get this error message at logout.
    "Logout has timed out because the application MirrorAgent failed to quit. To try again, quite MirrorAgent and choose Log Out from the Apple menu"
    Has anyone experienced this?

    I am a long-time computer geek and former Mac developer. I am clear that several problems still exist with the syncronization of my computer with .Mac. MirrorAgent, in particular, seems to grab the computer at the root level and get fouled up such that it drags down performance and will not complete its task (whatever that might be). Since the problem is somewhat subtle and leaves few clues as to what is going on (e.g. no action on the sync progress icon in the menu bar), many users are left with nothing to do but reboot.
    Since most users don't know how to discover which task is screwing them, Apple gets few reports about MirrorAgent. I hope that Apple will awaken to the poor job of sync'ing that they have implemented and fix the system. I have seen amazing errors in months past and I keep hoping that somebody at Apple is awake to the problems.
