Rotation Lock
Rotation Lock prevents the iPad display from switching between portrait and landscape mode. While Screen Rotation Lock is enabled, the following occurs:
The display remains in landscape or portrait mode, regardless of how iPad is held.
The Rotation Lock icon appears in the status bar.
A padlock appears in the rotation lock button (viewable when you flick to the left on the recently used apps list, after double-clicking the Home button).

Whenever I try to use my macbook, it will work for about 10 min. then the screen will go black, the computer will not respond to my commands, and I have to restart it. Can anyone tell me what's going on, and how to fix it? Thank you!!!

Hello everyone, like most people on this site, I am having difficulties understanding and fixing my Macbook Pro. About a month ago my computer screen went black, the computer was unresponsive, and it started making a beeping noise. I restarted the computer, and it seemed to have fixed itself. 6 days ago, I put my laptop into it's case with some papers, went home (about 30 min. after putting laptop into case), and opened my bag. My computer's fans were on, the computer was really hot, and when I opened the computer, the screen was black and unresponsive. I turned it off, let it cool down, turned it back on, started to stream a video on Hulu, and about ten minutes after, the screen went black again and the computer was unresponsive. Now everytime I turn it on after about ten to fifteen minutes the screen will go black, the computer will become unresponsive, and I have to shut it off. The weird thing though is that everytime I restart my computer, when I reopen my account, my computer acts as if nothing has happened, and everything I had opened or unsaved is still there without autosave saving the documents.The screen also goes black and the computer becomes unresposive when I move the computer around. I get a lot of pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet. I don't know if one of those pop-up websites might have given me a virus or may be the cause of this problem. I don't now what is wrong with my computer or how to fix it, but if anyone has any advice, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!! Thank you very much!!!
-- Sincerely, A very confused, scared, and hopless Macbok Owner

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Can anyone tell me what this messsage means and how to fix it?

I use CS3 to prepare a black and white newsletter for our village onmy MAC and frequently change colour photos to greyscale. However when printing on my HP Colour Laserjet 2550L the photo shows as a dark green colour. I've tried everything imaginable, new drivers etc. but still get the green print instead of greyscale.
The ColorSync Utility had just appeared on my desktop with the following message:
Searching for profiles...
Checking 54 profiles...
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/EW-sRGB
   Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/CoatedFOGRA27.icc
   Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct.
   The file is locked. Could not be fixed.
Repair done - 0 out of 2 profiles fixed.
Could this be the problem? And if so, how do I fix it?
Don't really want to uninstall and reinstall but expect that's the only answer. Is it? Can anyone help?

The driver is one the Apple Mac store downloaded for me.
I attach the print summary which might give a clue. When converting
files to grayscale, I use Image>Mode>grayscale. The other thing is
that I can't print in Photoshop, so I do all my editing in Photoshop
and print through Indesign. Printing in Photoshop is just a page of
text.
The other odd thing is that coloured pdf files printed in Adobe
Acrobat are just a mass of colour, no recognisable picture but if I
change the print option in Acrobat to print in grayscale I get
pictures! I just feel I'm overlooking some checked option, but I've
tried to restore to default without success. I used to use Pagemaker
6.0 to do my newsletter on my PC but had to change to Indesign when I
changed to MAC and the printer hasn't worked properly since!!!
Many thanks for your reply. Maybe someone out there might be able to
help.

Whenever I start my iPhone or iPad I get a message:'Password required/Enter the password for the CardDAV account. Can someone tell me what the CardDAV is and how to eliminate the message?

Each time I start iPhone or iPad I get a message: 'Password required/ Enter the password for the CardDAV account'. Can anyone tell me what that is about and how to eliminate.
Also this began happening the same time my Yahoo mail account was hacked which resulted in my mail program (on mini) to fail. It crashes on startup.
Thanks

Thanks Steve that did it on my iPad. It was the yahoo account. Im beginning to think that Yahoo is dangerous. It was the hacking of my Yahoo mail account that started these problems. My mail account on my mini still does not work. I posted the problem here and got real professional advice but to no avail it still doesnt work and I cant re-install the OS because Im in China and their Great firewall keeps the net too slow.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

When I switch libraries I lose the majority of the material in my main library and can only restore it by repairing the database. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can resolve the problem? Thanks

When I switch libraries I "lose" the majority of the material in my main library (or at least I can't see it) and can only restore it by repairing the database. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can resolve the problem? Thanks

I seem to have found a way around it. Rather than switching libraries by going into files/switch libraries I used Aperture Preferences to change them. I've done it a couple of times and it appears to work OK.
That is an interesting finding. It suggests, that your "Preferences" file "com.apple.Aperture.plist" may have been corrupted and you fixed it this way. Can you now switch between libraries the usual way? If not, I'd try to remove the "preferences" file from the user library to the Desktop and relaunch Aperture.
The Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805

I can't find preferences for the notes app. and every once in awhile some of my notes just disappear at start up, I see the name and then it refreshes and they are gone, very annoying. Can anyone tell me why it does this and how to stop it? thanks

Did you recently updated to 7.0.4? Even for me same also issues.

I seemed to have locked my keyboard; now there is a ghost writer on my keyboard; it goes to applications on its' own; opens itunes without me touchin the keyboard. There is a lock symbol in the upper right hand corner with a arrow circling it.

So, it appears that I no longer have control over my keyboard. With this symbol in the upper right hand corner, I don't have control over my keyboard.
Does anyone know how to undo this lock?
Thanks,
Elayne

Hello,
Great!
The problem has been solved. Did not have the install disk, but figured the problem out through single user mode. The options listed in the article were not working, so tried this...
sh /et/rc (to boot the system)
open /applications/utilities
Was trying to open Terminal, but this opened root user mode (accidental victory). From there I was able to simply use Disk Utility to repair my permissions.
Thanks!

I have a TON of bookmarks that I want to back up, but when I open the window to organize them, back them up, etc., none of them are there! Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

On the dropdown menu where my bookmarks are, I select "show all bookmarks", which opens up a window called "Library". I should have hundreds of bookmarks, but none of them are showing in this window.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox

When I click "File", "Exit" or X in the upper right hand corner to close Firefox it starts using more than 90% CPU. I have to close Firefox by going to Taskmanager and click on the Process tab, select Firefox.exe and click on End Process.

I am using Windows XP.

You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

Lost my star(BOOKMARK) in the upper right had corner by the download arrow

OI have lost my bookmark stay ( shortcut icon) in the upper right hand corner by the download arrow and I do not know how to get it back
Also when in my email and I want to open an attachment it goes right to down loads and does not open when I double click on it. It worked yesterday!
Very frustrated

You've already started [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/995288 a thread about the first issue]. As I said,
The Bookmarks button on the navigation toolbar? Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize. Drag it from the customization palette onto the toolbar. You can also click the Restore Default Set button to discard your toolbar customizations.
* [[Navigation buttons like back, home, bookmarks and reload are missing]]
If you want to be prompted where to save files,
# Under '''[[Startup, home page and download settings|Options - General]]''', select "Always ask me where to save files"
# Under '''[[Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file|Options - Applications]]''', set the file type in question to "Always ask"
Double-clicking isn't used anywhere in the Firefox interface. If you want to open a recently downloaded file, click the Download button on the navigation toolbar, then the file in question. Does that not work?
* [[Find and manage downloaded files]]
