How can I stop my login screen changing to shrunken dimensions when I log out from my account, it does so randomly!

Hi,
Does anybody know how I might fix the followin:
When I log out of my user account on my macbook the screen display has started to do weird stuff like change size so that the usual log in screen appears small and to the left, not filling the whole screen, then if someone else in the familiy logs in to their user they may have the same problem within their usual screen, with a small area instead of the full screen to work with. THe remaining screen displays blue, without the chosen wall paper etc. It seems to do this randomly so that logging in and out of accounts, shutting down and reopening can get things back to normal, but only until it goes weird again.
Thank you for any help.
Billie

It sounds like a problem wih the backlight inverter. Usually they just go, instead of on and off.
In a dark room hold a flashlight on the display when it blacks out. If you can see the items on the desktop, it's probably the backlight.

    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Whenever I change from My Music to iTunes Store and then back to My Music, it sends me to the top of My Music instead of where I was when i switched.  How can I get it to return to where I was when I switch out of and back into My Music?

    Firefox will reload a page and reposition at the top if the copy in the cache has expired. However, that shouldn't happen right away.
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 thing. But now my iphone's gmail inbox shows a random selection of emails (not most recent ones that are in my inbox). How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

    I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

    If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
    Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
    IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
    Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.
    That is from the page that you linked- does highlighted part of message ring a bell?

  • How do you prevent deleting files when you log out of an account on a MacBook

    I have set up a new account for my son on my MacBook.  I set parental controls.  It will not allow him to save files when he logs out.  How can I allow him to save files and then keep them when he logs out?

    Selecting all does not help - the issue is I need a table within an incoming email to be moved to excel, edited and then pasted back into a new email. "Select All" picks up the email headers, signatures, any messages around the table etc so that doesn't work. Also, as pointed out above Excel doesn't have a select all feature to get the tables back into the body of an email.
    I just tried again going from Excel into Outlook 2011. No luck. All one column down the left side of the email. All columns are removed and text crammed into one column. Just to check I cut from one Excel document and pasted into another and it retained all formating just fine. It is only in and out of Outlook that seems to be the issue.

  • How can I stop the login pop-up box for iCloud from repeating?

    I don't use iCloud so I click Cancel in the iCloud login box when I start up my iPad Mini. But this popup box won't take Cancel for an answer and it reappears at least three more times, every 10-15 seconds or so, interrupting what I'm doing - really annoying. Can I stop this pop-up box from repeating like this, and if so, how?

    Ah ok that all makes sense. You are correct that would turn off Find my iPhone. Based off the additional info you provided, it seems to me that the password needs to be updated. What I recommend doing next is entering the password when it prompts you to. If the password is incorrect in the settings then Find my iPhone may not be able to find the phone because it does not have the password authenticated.
    Then you can turn off any iCloud features you choose not to use with this article and leave only Find my iPhone enabled.

  • How can I edit the login screen to post quiz results to a local server?

    A lot of people looking for an answer to this question. Do you know someone solve this problem? At least I need to change the text of login screen to my local language. Thank you for help.

    Hi Martin,
    These are run time messages and you can change it by the below steps:
    If you want to modify specific labels that you can't modify through Captivate, you can do this with the file strings.txt, that is located in Adobe Captivate instalation folder >en_US
    1. Open file
    2. Modify whatever label you want
    3. Save.
    4. Rename to strings.zdct
    5. Replace original strings.zdct file
    6. Restart Captivate
    I suggest you backup original strings.txt and strings.zdct files - just in case.
    Regards,

  • How can I return to login screen after screensaver??

    I am trying to set up my Parents new Mac like their old Windows XP machine. When the Windows PC sat idle it went to screensaver and if the mouse was moved it returned to the login screen with their user icons.
    On the Mac the option under Security "Require password after screensaver" will bring up a password prompt for the user who is currently logged in with a "Switch User" button.
    Hitting that "Switch User" button will bring me to the login screen with the list of users and their icons. Does anyone know of a way where it will bypass prompting for a password and goto the login screen without hitting the "Switch Users" button?

    it's possible but what's wrong with hitting "switch user"? that's really the easiest. anything else will require extra work. see this link

    When you find non-junk has been erroneously considered to be junk, you have to tell iCloud.com about that particular mis-assignment by logging into your iCloud account on the website and following this procedure:
    "Indicate that an email message isn’t junk
    Click the Junk folder in the sidebar.
    Select a message, then click the Not Junk button in the top right of the message window.
    The message is moved to your Inbox. Subsequent email messages from the same sender are no longer automatically marked as junk."
    Elsewhere in Apple's help system, they say
    "You can also use the Mail app to mark messages as junk so that later messages from the same sender are automatically marked as junk:
    In OS X, select the message and click the Junk (thumbs down) icon in the Mail toolbar."
    They do not say that you can use Mail.app to unflag junk ("report false positives") by clicking the Not Junk (thumbs down) icon, but they also do not say that you cannot. I'm not sure whether that works.
    Frankly it makes no sense to have to log on to iCloud to do this, when the very same features (i.e., "Mark as Junk" and "Mark as Not Junk") are built into Mail.app -- but don't reliably appear when messages are falsely marked as junk.
    Bottom line: Although I love my Apple products, this is another one of the many features that's been broken for years -- and somehow just isn't imporant enough to Apple to fix.

  • How can I stop gmail login from hijacking my blueyonder webmail

    ( Please note that I have posted this story, as a reply to someone else's gmail problem; but now realise it should be a separate question. At least I realised..... eventually.)
    I recently set up a gmail account: in my ignorance, I thought it was a good idea. How wrong!!!
    Since getting this computer several years ago, I've had no big problems with Firefox; but weirdly I couldn't get thunderbird to connect to the server: so, I've just been using Virgin-media's webmail. A year or so ago, Virgin passed their email service over to Goggle: making their webmail now over-complicated and messy on the screen- with many click-buttons duplicated, and some useful functions have been removed completely. Even with the old-style appearance option; my experience is worsened. For example, if I want to "add a new contact", I now have to open another tab in the new "standard" view: there is no longer any way to do it in the preferred previous view!! I don't like the new "standard" view because over half of the screen is covered by things other than my emails! I don't want to constantly have to look at multiple search boxes; and all those repeated clickables.
    So, now I'll describe what happened when I registered for gmail: to my deepest regret!!!!! Suddenly I found my open virgin webmail page (tab) was being repeatedly HIJACKED, and taken a gmail login page. I never asked for any synchronization/amalgamation of my virgin (blueyonder.co.uk) email account and this flaming gmail account. So I closed the gmail account: because it is too much trouble for sweet f.a. in benefit! Google confirmed the gmail account is closed.
    But the same blasted thing keeps happening: my open blueyonder page disappears, and the gmail login page appears. Goggle must have installed some form of MALWARE.... IT IS HIJACKING MY FIREFOX !!!
    I have hunted all around goggle, including forums, for info on how to remove this unwanted malware. There is no info on how to remove anything goggle! There is no access route to ask actual people at goggle.
    Perhaps Firefox folk can help? Please!

    Please start by clearing your cache. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]] This will clear all old history of the page. Since Google has confirmed the account is closed but the MX records for the domain still have google servers: [http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3ablueyonder.co.uk%29&run=toolpage] the email address will still be directed to a gmail login page. When closing a gmail account it can take up to 24 hours to fully close. Clearing the browser's cache will remove the stored local cache from the last 24 hours.
    If there is malware, or the page is being hijacked there are some recommended scanners below:
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • How can i stop showing login info to password protected sites

    When I start to login to my email accounts, after I type the first letter, auto fill in begins. I don't want that feature for login or passwords

    Hi duffer48,
    Firefox has a very powerful Password Manager. You can access it by going to ''Tools > Options > Security''. If you want to disable the feature completely, you can just uncheck the box next to ''Remember Passwords for Sites''. If you just want to remove your stored login information for a few particular sites, you can click on ''Saved Passwords'' and delete the entries for any sites you don't want stored.
    You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords this Knowledge Base article]. It has a lot of information on using and managing passwords.
    Hopefully this helps!
