How To Prevent My Laptop's Screen From Succumbing To Evil Green Pixels?

Hello, I know this seems to be a common problem on the forums but... A while ago my display started showing evil bright green pixels that created a distracting and unsightly mess. It was under apple care. I waited to see if an update would fix it, and before my apple care ran out I took it in and had it fixed. Could it be that I could know what they saw wrong with it? Because I got the computer back, fixed, and they didn't tell me what had been the problem. Is this available on the Internet? Two weeks later I started getting the EXACT same problem. Even though apple care repairs are under warranty the apple genius I talked to told me they would charge to fix it, fix it again, because I had dinged the top of the laptop. This really peeved me. The good news is that it's not always like this, and most of the time now the display is fine. The bad news is that I've been getting the problem more and more frequently, which is exactly what happened last time until the evil green pixels never went away. So the problem flickers, but it's happening more often...
My question is does anybody know anything I could do to prevent this from occurring? Of note is that last time this happened it didn't cure it completely but it helped to diminish my screen resolution. The most recent time the green pixels came back though and it didn't matter the resolution. Does anybody know if this is a hardware or a software problem? Could the fact that it comes and goes, and eventually never leaves, mean that I am causing it to happen without knowing it? Does anybody know if this is a software or a hardware issue? I am going to run the apple hardware test and soon as I can, although I think last time I did that it was fine but I will double-check. I don't want to pay apple to fix it if it will break again. I am prepared to face the harsh reality of a world with a distorted but functional laptop screen. Thanks for reading!

Oh, one of my loveliest topics. ;)
The best way to clean a lcd screen is to take a lcd cleaning spray and a cloth. But thats not all, the secret is to take a microfiber cloth to clean the screen up.
Perform the cleanup in these steps:
1. Spray the Display Cleaner on the whole screen. Be generous when spraying the cleaner on it.
2. Dont use the microfiber cloth for the first cleanup, thats the step where you remove the big dirt. Use a ordinary cloth.
3. Ok, rubb the screen dry, it doesnt matter if some stripes are left, thats OK.
4. Now, spray the cleaner again on the whole screen, but not much, it should only cover the surface of the screen.
5. Take microfiber cloth and clean the screen how you would clean a window. E.g. from top to down but dont stay at one point, just go top down.
6. I know its not perfectly (good if yes ;) ) but I tried it many times and everyone has its own technique.
Good luck and a clean display :)

Hello Nagaraju,
                       What you were doing is partially right.
The correct format to write in the script is as follows :
/: if &PRICE& ne 0.
&PRICE&
/: endif.
This should work. Let me know how it goes.

Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

How to Open an Oracle Apps Screen from a web page

Hi,
We have requirement for Opening an Oracle Application screen (say sales order form) directly from a web page.
I could get the URL of the required screen, but the URL contains an ICX_TICKET number, which is generated dynamically by Oracle Apps. So I can't use a static URL for this.
Do you know how I can use or generate an ICX_TICKET in runtime? My user will have an active Oracle Application screen opened along with web page. He want to navigate to Oracle Apps screen from Web page. Hopes this makes the requirement more clear.
Thanks for your time,
Aneesh

Hi Helios,
I have identified a function to generate ICX_ticket. By appending this ticket, I am able to open the Oracle Apps screen. Now, is there in implication on the security side, if I go ahead this way?
Function
fnd_gfm.one_time_use_store(icx_sec.GetSessionCookie(CZ_CF_API.ICX_SESSION_TICKET),300,'FORMS_APPLET')
Anyways, I am raising an SR as u suggested.
Thank you,
Aneesh

How to prevent IPV6 entries in DNS from server End

Hello,
My concern is to stop the IPV6 DNS entries being added to the DNS , but the main goal is to prevent it from the server end instead of going and disabling the IPV6 entries on each client machine.
I have gone through this article but my goal is to fix it from the server end
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cd1a87f0-caf3-498e-9a20-e728e474b626/how-to-prevent-ipv6-addresses-from-being-registered-in-dns-server?forum=winserverDS
Looking forward for the reply.
Muhammad Asif Server Administrator Linux/Windows

Hi,
You can use Group Policy to disable IPV6 on clients within your domain, assuming you have an Acgive Directory environment.
There are ADM/ADMX templates that are actually doing this. You just have to import it on PolicyDefinition folder on one of your domain controller then configure a group opliy and link it to your structure.

Hope this help.

How can I prevent the S5's screen from coming on when charging completes?

I got my S5 today and it seems to have a "feature" that will be very damaging to the OLED display. When it's done charging, the screen comes on and stays on. I've been going through all the settings I can find and don't see anything that will prevent this. Since static images burn into OLED screens, this is the last thing I want. It's done the same thing several times. My old phone (Galaxy Nexus) didn't do this. When the Nexus finished charging, it did so with no fanfare. The screen stayed off.
When the S5 is locked and the screen is off, there's no reason for the screen to come on for anything short of a phone call. It certainly shouldn't come on and stay on just because the battery finished charging. And, any time the display does come on without user input, it should turn off again automatically if it's idle for the length of the screen timeout.
I've got "Smart stay" turned off and "Screen timeout" set to 1 minute but, after it self-activates, it stays on indefinitely. I've let it go for 20 minutes and the screen is still on. How can I fix this? If I can't get this behavior to stop, it's going back to the store. I'm not paying $600 plus tax to have my lock screen burned onto my phone because I charge it at night.

Okay I've tried safe mode. Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited. A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due. This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus. I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night. It still had over 50% left on the battery. The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours. I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

When using Teststand, how do I prevent the LABView splash screen from appearing?

It comes up even if I have the "Don't show this screen" checked !

I'm excited to see TestStand is a celbrity product.
Typically when you run a sequence in TestStand, LabVIEW is launched by TestStand when the sequence contains steps that use the LV adapter. In this case LV is launched through its ActiveX interface and the LV splash screen is suppressed. This is in contrast to launching LabVIEW manually in which case the LV splash screen will be displayed.
In your case I'm not sure how LV is being launched. You might want to shut down LV and then run your sequence to see if the splash screen is then suppressed.
You may also want to read NI Knowledgebase article 28MEPUXL, "Why Does the LabVIEW Startup Screen Appear When Using the Dialog Box Function from Within My VI?". In this case LV has been opened manually and not be Test
Stand, such that the splash screen is not suppressed.

How to prevent middle names and titles from appearing in contacts

My iPhone is syncrhonised with MS Outlook, and I've used Outlook as my system of record for contacts for many years. I have hundreds of contacts in Outlook, many of which contain middle names and titles.
The problem is that the iPhone displays every contact as Title FirstName MiddleName Surname Suffix. For many of my contacts, particularly when viewed in the Favourites list, I can't even see the contact's surname because the contact's title, first name and middle name(s) take up so much of the row.
How can I stop my iPhone from displaying titles and middle names? Is there a setting somewhere in iTunes that will prevent these fields from being transferred to the iPhone?

@NFH
I am also experiencing this problem, but I think it started with one of the later iOS 3.x releases or possible iOS4. All of my contacts display their job title (eg. "Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales & Operations") which given the screen real estate means that NONE of the actual Contact name is visible.
This is only happening on my iPhone 3GS (iOS 4.0.2) and does NOT happen on my Mac, my me.com, nor on my iPad (iOS 3.2.2). Which, again leads me to believe this problem was introduced in iOS4.

How can I get to home screen from car dock menu when an app is running?

Just upgraded to the RAZR MAXX from a Droid 2 Global.
When the phone is mounted in the car dock and an app is running (Navi, Music, etc.), how can you get to the main home screen of the phone rather than the car dock menu?
Follow me......
* Phone is mounted in Car Dock.
* If there are NO apps running, pressing the BACK key from within the Car Dock Menu takes you directly to the Home screen.
However.....
* Phone is mounted in Car Dock.
* Navigation(or any app, for that matter) is running.
* Pressing MENU key takes me to Car Dock Menu.
* There's no exit option available to exit from car dock menu.
* Pressing BACK key takes you back to the app that's running, not the home screen.
* Long press of HOME key only takes you to an app list screen, not home screen.
* Only way to get to home screen is to repeatedly press the BACK button exiting out of the Car Dock Menu and cancelling all apps that are currently running.
On my Droid 2, I was able to quickly exit the Car Dock Menu simply by pressing the BACK or exit button, regardless of which or how many apps were running. They would still run in the background, showing on the status bar.
Anyone know of a work around? I couldn't find any settings to change within the Car Dock menu to change this. Stopped by three Verizon stores and they all say we have to be missing something, as they couldn't figure it out either. One rep told me it was a new "nanny" feature so that you couldn't access your apps while driving, however when I pointed out that you could access the home screen if no apps were running, he wasn't sure what to say.
Any help?

I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

How do I stop the Cloud Screen from popping up on my PC when charging my LG phone

I have an LG G3 with 4G android software. I am not interested at all in using Cloud storage. Every time I plug my phone in to charge on my computer's USB port, the Cloud screen pops up asking if I want to subscribe or some other question which I forget. Always in Full Screen. Can anyone tell me how I can disable this or get rid of it in some way or another? I have uninstalled the Cloud App on the PC, but it didn't make any difference.

We want to see you enjoying any aspect of your phone, Dond13. But if you don't want to utilize the Cloud application on your phone, please follow the steps below to reset the application and continue to use your phone as normal without accessing the Cloud:
Select device Settings->Device->Apps.
On the Apps screen opened, slide the screen to the left until 'All' tab is displayed with the list of all applications.
Select 'Cloud' application from the list.
Select 'Clear cache' on the Cloud App Info screen.
Select 'Clear data' on the Cloud App Info screen
Select 'Force stop' on the Cloud App Info screen.
Navigate to the list of applications on the device UI and launch the 'Cloud' application.
Select 'yes' when the following message is popped up
'We have detected a new mobile number on this device, xxx-xxx-xxxx. Would you like to reset the application and start using your new mobile number'

How to prevent Pivot Table Data Source from being changed automatically?

I have an excel file that contains a Pivot Table that references a table within the workbook (Data Source = "MyTable"). When I save the file and copy it, the copy contains a reference to the original file. Instead of displaying, "MyTable",
it shows "OldFilename!MyTable" where OldFilename is the name of the original file, not the current file.
How do I prevent this from occurring. It is only doing this on my current machine, if I perform these steps on a different machine, the problem does not occur and the Data Source property stays the same as it should.
What setting(s) do I change to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Michael

How can I control an iPad screen from a Mac

I have a friend who needs help using her iPad. She lives 1500 miles away. Is there any way I can control her iPad remotely from my iMac?

"Control" would be ideal, so I could take complete control of her iPad and then show her how to do things as if I was sitting there. Think "Remote Access".
But "Share" would be almost as good. At least then I could see her screen and be on the phone explaining what to do and watching her cursor movements.
The way we try to do it now is she holds up her iPad during an iChat (video) session, but the screen is too hard to see to be of any use, and helping her this way is virtually impossible.
