  • Iphone 3gs shutdowns random, it fails to turn on, it displays a white screen with colors lines

    I have an iPhone 3GS. It It shutdowns random, it fails to turn on, it displays a white screen with colors lines.

    I have the 3GS and it recently started the RSD.  At first I thought it was just the batter not holding a charge and being lower than what the display showed.  However, even when fully charged the RSD's occur mostly when loading either Apps or web pages in Safari.
    I have not experienced the white screen and colored line, yet apparently.  Is this the logic board like in the MacBook's?

  • All I have on my I pod touch is a white screen with multicolored lines going across screen.  What do I need to do.  I can't use I tunes because it says I have to have passcode and can't get screen to come up.  I have already tried holding both keys down.

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.. It bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod)
    - Next try DFU mode

    Please help me to fix grey screen with ? Mark blinking thanks

    The support article linked below is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to starting up from an installation disc, you should instead start up in Recovery mode.
    If you don't have a current backup of all the data on the startup volume, and you want to preserve that data, then you must try to back up before you do anything else. Ask for instructions if you need them.

  • How do you fix blue screen on ipod touch

    how do you fix the blank blue screen on an ipod touch?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do you fix this problem with the View Menu?

    Hi. This is my first time on this forum so please forgive me if not worded correctly.
    I have recently installed CS5 on Windows 7. I work with large folders of images. When I open the folder the images are spread out with a big gap between each row of images. It is much easier when they are close together especially when I am selecting a large number of images to transfer or copy. If I change the menu view to details and then immediately back to list they display as I want. As soon as I open any folder again they go back to being all spread out.
    I thought it may be a Windows problem but I have set it up correctly in Windows Explorer and saved it as that option for all files. They display perfectly on that and also other programs I use where I need to view large amount of images.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem may be and how I can fix it? Please see the following screen grabs which will show what I mean.
    The top version is how I like the files to look. The bottom version is what I always get in CS5. If you can solve the problem I would be very happy.
    Thanks Carol

    What you are seeing is a windows folder option.
    In Windows 7 click the start button, choose computer then open your C drive.
    From there you will see something similar to this,
    Click on the sort options and choose list. Now we need to make it the default so when you look in photoshop it remains as a list.
    to  do that from this same window choose tools then folder options.  A new window will pop up called folder options on the second tab called View is an all folders button, this will apply this view to all folders. if you have Photo shop open close it re-open it and how you will always get the view you want.

  • How do you get the bookmarks list permanently displayed on the left side of the screen?

    I somehow managed to get the bookmarks permanently open and displayed in a vertical column on the left side of the screen. I accidentally closed it and cannot get it to display again. How do you manage to get the bookmark list permanently open and displayed again? Thank you.

    Hello exoticdoc2, see if the next [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/all-in-one-sidebar/ All-in-One Sidebar add-on] it is useful for you, it is more than a sidebar bookmarks toolbar.
    thank you

  • How do you fix the issues with the OS X mountain lion? Screen freezes pages just swipe on own

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How do you fix the screen

    you get like a scalpel or a sharp knife and cut the screen open and replace the screen

    This has been asked and answered several times in the last hour.  The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.

  • How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

    Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar
    rescales. Thanks

    You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.
