  • Why is the right side of my MacBook Pro screen distorted?

    I've had my MacBook Pro for 4.5 years and have really had little trouble with it. A little over a year ago, however, someone in my family dropped something on the laptop when it was closed and broke the screen.  One trip to the Genius Bar later and we now had a new screen, one that has again given us little to no trouble whatsoever since then.
    However, as of a week or so ago the right side of the screen has become distorted.  At first, it was a minor annoyance, as it’s only about an inch wide and would come and go at random.  Plus, if I applied some pressure to the screen where the distortion appeared, it would go away.  Unfortunately, it would inevitably re-appear a short while later, usually if I lightly bumped the laptop or moved it a bit. 
    Now it’s there all the time.  I’ll open the laptop to use it and, after a minute or so, it’ll appear.  Now the only way to make it go away is if I close the laptop.  I can still use the computer, but the distorted column makes it hard to concentrate, plus I don’t know if it’s wrecking the screen any further.  It’s hard to use various programs such as iMovie, as I’ll have to move them around so the distorted area isn’t covering any of my work. 
    What could have caused this?  I installed any and all updates the other day, so everything’s up to date on there.  I always keep it out of harm’s way, especially ever since our incident last year.  When it’s not being used, it’s always on a soft surface, always under a bed, couch or some other area where our two-year old and cats can’t get to it.  I also never keep it anywhere other than our family room or bedroom, where the room temperature is never too hot or cold.  Trust me, nothing else has fallen on it since the new screen was purchased last year.
    Are there any possible remedies to this?  Or is it back to the Genius Bar again?  I’m reluctant to try and take it apart at all, but if that’s my only option and there’s an easy method that won’t harm the computer, I suppose I could give it a shot.  Or if there’s some video card setting I need to adjust I’m all for hearing about it.

    It fixed it self when i picked up to use it this morning. Thanks for the tip I'll try that when all else fails.
    If anyone else would like to tell me what they have done to fix this problem I would take any other advice as well.
    Thanks, Ashka!

  • The right side of my iPhone 5S screen isn't sensitive to touch?

    It was in the rain for a bit and I am assuming that is why however I tried drying my phone out and it still isn't working. I am wondering what I should do and whether or not resetting the factory settings is worth it or not. I have tried restarting it and turning it on and off again but I can't get it to work. I can't click any apps on the right side of my phone, send messages, delete photos, turn the camera, add filters, and I can't use apps very well. What do I do?

    How long ago was the iPhone exposed to rain? How long did you attempt to dry it? How did you attempt to dry it? Did you power the device off before allowing it to dry?
    More than likely, given the behavior that you are describing, the device is damaged and will need to be replaced. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store for an out of warranty replacement.

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • After a Firefox update I have lost data on the right side of the screen when I access one of my websites. Thanks for any help

    This happens on only one website that I download. I have a small Samsung pc and have only Firefox running. Never had this problem before.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

  • Access Connections icon on the left side instead of the right side on taskbar

    As stated in the title of this post the icon of Access Connection 5.72 is on the left side. The only way to have it correctly on the right side is to go to 'Toolbars' on the task bar -> uncheck Access Connections -> apply -> recheck Access Connections -> apply -> ok
    Lenovo, please fix this

    @kingskawn,
    Could you let me know where can I obtain this SCCM software so I may try to replicate this bug?
    Also do update the TVAC to the latest version.
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73682
    I understand you are using Update Retriver to download the software but there are some delays in the Update Retriver compared to the Lenovo Support site. Therefore try installing the latest TVAC and then install the SCCM software and see the bug still occur.

  • Regza LCD HDTV 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side

    Hi, my 2008 REGZA LCD 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side.  I think the problem started within 24 months from my purchase.  And the stripes are getting wider. 
    I have tried to reset the setup, power off and on, all to no avail.  See attached picture.
    If someone can shed light on this problem and its (preferably permanent) fix and approx. cost, it will be greatly appreciated.  I could simply chug this Toshiba LCD and buy another non-Toshiba HDTV, but I think that would be wasteful if it can be fixed. 
    Regards,

    I also have the same problem.  I have had the TV for about 4 years; started right after third year.  I have not been able to fix it either....Time to buy a new TV, but defintely not a Toshiba!

  • Stripe on the Right Side of Tasks Card

    On my tasks card there is a brown woodgrain stripe running from the top to the bottom of the card on the right side. It obscures the task count.  When I go to the individual task or a listing of all of my tasks it disapears. What is it, what is causing it and how do I get rid of it?  Thanks

    Hmm...when I have an open task in my tasks app, the number appears to the left of the stripe.

  • I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display

    I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display. I've done the following:
    -Shutdown the computer, and restarted in Safe Mode by pressing the Shift key after the restart tone
    -Shutdown the computer, and restarted by pressing Command, Option, P & R after the restart tone
    -Checked display resolution, Best for Retina
    -Hooked it up to a Dell external monitor and via projection to screen. There are no lines on the external or secondary screens
    -Just curious, I ran a color utility which can not repair 4 items, maybe this is another issue.
    This is a brand new Macbook Pro, just out of the box. It was fine for two days without any issues, fine last night while in use, opened it up this morning with the line.
    Anyone now how I can fix this on my own?

    If you are within the first 14 days from the date of purchase, return the MBP for a refund or an exchange.  If you are after the first 14 days of the date of purchase, have the MBP repaired under the warranty provisions.

      I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out.  what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • I just jazzed up my 2 Ghz iMac with 10.6.8, and 4 gigs of memory. I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!), but now I have a thin yellow line way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom. This is really strange! Any input?

    I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

    Hello Mark,
    It's going to mean a lot of reading but you should study the 'More like this' legend to your post's immediate right.  >>>>>>>>   plus some of the links within each.
    The problem is well explored with much guidance on what to do and where to go.

  • I have 9 tabs, but when I try to make a tab group, only the current page shows up as a thumbnail, not all the tabs. I can't get them to work for me. All the tabs are listed on the right side of the tab groups box. What am I doing wrong?

    There's no thumbnails to drag around except one on the left side of the page (the one that's open). The right side of the page lists every tab I have created.

    Perhaps your problem is that '''you must save your browsing history''' in order to use app-tabs that would apply to groups as well but I did not test.
    * http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
    I would suggest that if you do not save that stuff in bookmarks, that you will probably have a serious problem soon and lose your tabs, so if you count on them you could lose them. They should stand up to repeated restarts but I would not count of them as app-tabs myself, for one thing it is new, the other is I have to frequently wipe them out and restart, because I actively open new content into them and go back to the beginning of the tab history, and sometimes I can't, and sometimes I lose them by accidentally closing them -- and I must be able to close them in all manners that I close other tabs or I wouldn't be using them.
    There are people who keep 200 tabs open through restarting, that is not for me, I try to clear out the tabs frequently.
    That is what app-tabs are for as opposed to home pages, but I did have a problem when I tested with 120 since as app-tabs only about 65 can be seen at once even though I did reduce the width of app-tabs to about 2/3 the size that they were.. Problem I had when I restarted was that the window enlarged a bit beyond the screen, and my tab counter disappeared until I reduced the count to about 65. I do not allow tabs to scroll so you probably wouldn't have that problem.
    I forgot to test home page with 60 tabs. I do have something set to 75 though have to check that. I tested with 60 pages as home page. Brought firefox down and backup with the 1 app-tab and 60 home pages the app-tab is the same size as the 60 normal tabs from home page.
    Never used group-tabs by choice, since they messed me up I stay clear of them, I don't like them or anything large panoramic type of large thumbnails.
