HT4623 Why do the words, graphics, etc on my 4s screen vibrate when I touch it? I powered it off thinking it was a glitch but it continues

Why do the words, graphics, etc on my 4s screen vibrate when I touch it? I powered it off thinking it was a glitch but it continues to happen. It just started out of the blue

I think I have found the source of my problem detailed above. Apparently, there have been problems with Preview running on OS Mavericks, dating back to October 2013, which Apple has yet to acknowledge or address. Many have had similar problems with photo images loading very slowly to the point of making Preview unuseable.
It may also explain problems I have had with flash drives and hard drives that ran on my Mac Book Pro under Lion no longer working  since upgrading to Mavericks. I found other postings on these issues.
It is a shame that I have to resort to Google as the best source to identify problems with my Mac and possible solutions. In many cases, it directs me to the source on Apple Support, which is difficult to find when one attempts a search via Apple Support. This could use some improvement.
I am new to using community support sites and Apple does not seem  to provide simple, clear directions  on how to get started. Jumping in with both feet, not only did I get wet, but I apparently "splashed" someone, as I got a hostile response from another community member on the first issue ever posted. I never did get an answer to the problem, though. I hope some find these comments helpful.
Oh, and wake up, Apple. We all would hope you monitor and glean information from these postings and act promptly to remedy problems with OS Mavericks.

  • Every time I use the internet the pages keep reloading every 10-20 seconds. worked with my internet provider for over a year thinking it was their fault, but it turns out it's my computer. Can anybody help? Thanks.

    Every time I'm using the internet, my pages reload every 10-20 seconds. Very aggravating. I worked with my internet provider for a year thinking it was their fault, but it turns out to be my computer, not the internet provider. Can anybody tell me why this is happening? Thank you.

    Hi Mary,

  • Why is the word count different when I use word count from the tools menu to the number at the bottom of my mac word document

    Why is the word count different when I use word count from the tools menu to the number at the bottom of my mac word document

    This forum is for Apple's defunct office suite 'AppleWorks' - since the word count is not in the places you mention I assume you are talking about Microsoft Word? Though it's just possible someone in this forum might also use Word and know the answer, you would stand a higher chance of getting an answer in Microsoft's own forums. You could also try asking in the forum applicable to your operating system - Lion, Mavericks or whatever - on the reasonably chance of finding someone familiar with Word.

  • No images but the word "graphic" is read

    When using the JAWS software, the word "graphic" is read in the middle of a sentence on each slide eventhough there are no images on the slide. Could someone please help!!!!

    Try a reset i.e. hold the home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. If that doesn't help you could give me a name of a book and I'll check a sample on both my iPad and iBooks on Mac.

    how do i make the word save as dialog box stop popping up when trying to convert to pdf?

    Hi rus-tee,
    That's interesting--what are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Word? Or are you using the Adobe PDF Pack online service. Please describe your process for converting to PDF, and we'll get to the bottom of this!
    Best,

  • Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

    Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
    So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
    For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
    Or it may be in the Registry.
    Click on Start >  Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
    This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

  • Why is the new firefox constantly blinking on my screen? everything else is fine but firefox now blinks and is unusable in 4.0

    why is the new firefox constantly blinking on my screen? everything else is fine but firefox now blinks and is unusable in 4.0

    Hi DGuerra, based on a past thread, the missing comments may be related to using avast! and its browser add-on(s).
    Firefox is so easy to customize that it's not really surprising to find differences between two systems. These can relate to the menu choices (orange Firefox button or classic menu bar), toolbar layouts, and of course, add-ons.
    If you have a preference for one setup versus another, hopefully these articles can equalize some of those layout issues:
    * [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]]
    * [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
    You can compare extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions.
    Perhaps you can get the two side-by-side to make it easier, or to extract a text list, you can use the troubleshooting information page. Either:
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    The button in the upper left corner "Copy text to clipboard" will grab the configuration information from entire page.

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

    Why is the same wirelles connection too slow for an iphone4 when it is quite fast to an iphone5?

    You really have a question for iPhone support here, so I suggest that you post in the appropriate support area:
    Using iPhone
    The experts over there will likely suggest that you use the Apple Troubleshooting Guide for iOS devices, so you might want to work your way through that before you post in the iPhone support area.

  • Why would the fan on my macbook be constantly runs, even when no applications are running.  Why?

    Why would the fan on my MacBook constantly run?  Even when I have no applications running?  Is there a way to determine what is causing this to happen?

    JAWade, try resetting the SMC and pram. Not always, but often those resets help problems like yours. Follow these instructions exactly.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
