Is it so truly amazing that Apple didn't make docks to fit each of the hundreds (possibly thousands) of configurations for cases, most of which are designed by 3rd-party manufacturers?
Your original question wasn't stupid, but maybe you should have left it there.

  • Why does FF18 (and not older releases) have new, severe font display issues in some contexts?

    When I upgraded to FF18 in Windows XP, all the sample pages (more than 200) in my portfolio site were effectively rendered unreadable in FF18 in XP. I also noticed the darker themes in Gmail had some of the same issues, though much less severe. I see none of these problems in FF18 on OS X using the latest version of the OS (Version 10.8: "Mountain Lion"). The issues seem to have no relationship to the fonts specified, although on one system, the bolder Arial in Gmail's top menubar looked much worse than unbolded Arial inside the inbox.
    I narrowed down the portfolio page issues to two main contributing factors:
    1. Translucent CSS opacity setting in a non-containing layer below the layer containing the text. To try being a bit more clear, the layer that actually contained the text and its background was NOT using any opacity settings. Think of the lightbox effect, if you've heard of that, to pop-up a page inside the existing browser window rather than in a new window, which typically uses a translucent overlay outside of the text area that reveals some of the background of the opening page.
    2. The text layer used white and other light-colored text on a dark background (#262626).
    Although I've I spent several days redesigning and reworking my pages to protect them from future potential rendering issues, I'd still like to know more about what's causing this. I've worked around somewhat similar issues in other browsers (mainly ie and chrome), but never so severe as these latest ones in FF18.
    I tried unchecking the hardware acceleration checkbox in Options, and tried reversing the gfx 'azure' and '2d' options in about:config. I also tried disabling all add-ons. However, none of this made any difference in either Gmail or my own pages.
    I can't realistically ask my potential clients to fiddle with all of these settings, so that is a major reason for asking. I could post a couple of screenshots of my Gmail inbox, although I don't see any place in this form for file uploads.

    Here're two screenshots showing the more severely unreadable rendering when a non-containing translucent layer is below the text layer (Item #1 in opening post).
    1: The first screenshot shows 13px Calibri (Windows system font) body text at #ffffff (white) foreground color body text over a #262626 (dark gray) background. The background color of the 0.5 opacity translucent layer (visible at top and left sides of screenshot) is #DFDBCD. The subheads are 18px #fff Calibri.
    2: The second screenshot shows 13px body text at #ffffff (white) foreground color body text using an open source font over a #262626 (dark gray) background. The background color of the 0.5 opacity translucent layer (visible at top and left sides of screenshot) is #DFDBCD. The subheads are 18px #fff using an open source font.

  • G4 using new wide screen display ratios?  (help)

    I got a Dell 2009w
    ratio of 1680 x 1050
    nice color, but my old G4 is stretching the desktop to make it fit.
    How do it get everything to normal?

    What video card do you have on your PowerMac?
    I had a similar problem when I got a Samsung SyncMaster LCD monitor, the video card on my Quicksilver (GeForce2 TwinView) didn't support the native resolution of the monitor (1440 x 900). so everything looked a bit funky.
    Had to run this NVIDIA flasher, to finally get it to be able to use the newer widescreen resolution.
    But, that was for the video card I have, unless you have that video card, do not execute the NVIDIA Flasher on your box.

  • Hello everyone, hoping for some help with my new Apple Cinema Display 20"

    Hi everyone, I bought an Apple Cinema Display 20 inch LCD monitor, just about 3 weeks ago. I have two issues I am hoping to get some help with.
    1) I am using the screen on a PC with Windows XP, and I was very disappointed at the lack of PC support. I have no on screen display (OSD), so I can't see what percentage I have my brightness set to, and I can't alter the colour or contrast of the display, etc. Luckily it defaulted to very good settings, but I would really like to be able to use the (fan made?) program called "WinACD". If I would be best asking somewhere else, please direct me there. If not, my problem is that I installed it added the "Controls" tab, but it just says, Virtual Control Panel "None Present". I have tried googling for an answer, and I have seen many suggestions, but none of them worked. I installed the WinACD driver without my USB lead plugged in, and someone said that was important. So I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling it again with the USB plugged in, and a device plugged in to my monitor to be sure. It didn't seem to help. I have actually done this process a few times, just to be sure. So I would really like to get that working if possible.
    2) I am disappointed at the uniformity of the colour on the display. I have seen other people mention this (again, after a google search), and that someone seemed to think it is just an issue we have to deal with, with this generation of LCD monitors. Before I bought this screen, I had an NEC (20wgx2), and it had a very similar issue. Most of the time, you cannot see any problem at all, but if you display an entire screen with a dark (none prime) colour, like a dark blue green colour, you can see areas where it is slightly darker than others. It was more defined on the NEC screen, and that is why I returned it. I now bought this Apple Cinema Display, because it was the only good alternative to the NEC. (It has an 8bit S-IPS / AS-IPS panel, which was important to me). But the problem exists in this screen too. It isn't as bad thankfully, but it still exists... I have actually tried a third monitor just to be sure, and the problem existed very slightly in that one, so I think I am probably quite sensitive in that I can detect it.
    It is most noticable to me, because I do everything on this PC. I work, I watch films, and I play games. 99% of the time, I cannot see this problem. But in some games (especially one)... the problem is quite noticeable. When you pan the view around, my eyes are drawn to the slight areas on my screen which are darker, and it ruins my enjoyment. To confirm it wasn't just the game, like I said, I can use a program to make the entire screen display one solid colour, and if you pick the right type of colour (anything that isn't a bright primary colour), I can see the problem - albeit fairly faintly.
    I am pretty positive that it is not my graphics card or any other component of my PC, by the way, because everything is brand new and working perfectly, and the graphics card specifically, I have upgraded and yet the problem remains - even on the new card. Also, the areas that are darker, are different on this screen than on the other screens I have used.
    So basically, I would like to register my disappointment at the lack of perfect uniformity on a screen which cost me £400 (over double what most 20 inch LCD screens cost), and I would like to know if anybody could possibly suggest a way to fix it?
    It is upsetting, becuase although this problem exists on other screens too, this is, as far as I know, the most expensive 20" LCD monitor available today, and uses the best technology available too.
    p.s. If anyone would like to use the program that lets you set your entire PC screen a specific colour, it is called "Dead Pixel Buddy", and it is a free piece of software, made by somebody to check for dead pixels. But I found it useful for other things too, including looking at how uniform the colour of the screen is. That's not to say I was specifically looking for this problem by the way... the problem cought my eye.
    Thanks in advance!

    I've been talking about this on another forum too, and I made some pictures in photoshop to describe the problem. Here is what I posted on the other forum:
    Yes, "brightness uniformity" definitely seems to be the best description of my issue.
    Basically it just seems like there are very faint lines down the screen, that are slightly darker than the other areas on the screen. They aren't defined lines, and they aren't in a pattern. It's just slight areas that are darker, and the areas seem like narrow bands/lines. Usually you can't see it, but in some cases, it is quite noticeable. It is mainly when I'm playing a game. The slightly darker areas are not visible, and then when the image moves (because I am turning in a car, or turning a plane, or turning in a shooter etc.) the image moves, but these slightly darker areas stay still, and that makes them really stand out.
    As for how it looks, I tried to make an example in photoshop:
    Original Image:
    http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3045/td1ja9.jpg
    Then imagine turning the car around a bend, and then it looks like this:
    http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/959/td2hq7.jpg
    It's those lines in the clouds. If you can tab between the two images, you can see the difference easily. Imagine seeing those lines appear, every single time you move in a game. (I haven't tested this in movies yet, but I am assuming it's the same).
    It isn't very clear on a static image. But when the image moves, the darker areas stay in the same place and it draws your eyes towards them. It isn't terrible, but it is annoying, especially consider how much this screen cost.

  • External monitor works only works when laptop screen displays

    Hi there, I just connected a different (newer, but not brand new) external monitor to my T61.  When I toggle screens (fn-f7) the external display gets no signal in the 'external display only' position, but displays beautifully in the 'both' position.  This never happened with my old monitor.  I would like to use the external display and not have the laptop screen display.  Any ideas? Many thanks, Ellen

    Try this:
    After connecting external monitor, press win key+p and thrn choose projector only.

  • Brand New Iphone 5s Home Screen display defect

    Here goes my ordeal with my Iphone 5s upgrade
    After waiting in line for over an hour I purchased the Iphone 5s yesterday at Best Buy (Stonebriar, Frisco, TX). Later that evening, I noticed that when the time was 5:36, the home screen display was not showing the digit 6. Instead it showed a blur. I then changed the time manually to 6:36 and then to 6:43 and each time there was a digit 6 the display showed a blur instead. I must note that the phone was sitting in the grass which was a little moist (which I believe was the causing the issue). I immediately went back to the Best Buy location where I purchased the phone and requested a replacement after showing the defect. The store manager wanted me to wait in the line and I refused to do so (they sold me a defective phone so I did not see a reason why I had to go in that line all over again when it was just a replacement!). Anyways, after a tiff with the manager I left that store with my defective phone.
    Next day, I went to the Apple store (Willowbend mall, Plano). I was greeted by genteleman at the entrance of the store who nicely asked if he could help. The moment I told him I suspected my new Iphone 5s was defective he said 'What!!' and made an expression of disbilief. Funny! I was asked to go to another peson who was standing and waving his hand further inside the store. I go to him and explain to him the problem and when I try to demonstrate it does not happen! Oh dear! Luckily I had enough screenshots in store and I showed them all to the store clerk.  He then tells me that he can take the phone in for me and get it 'repaired'! In disbilief I ask him if he meant 'Replaced'? He says no, they will try to repair it first - he further speculates saying they will try a restore or maybe a front glass replacement and that if they still can't fix it, Apple will then replace the phone. In exasperation I tried to explain to him that the problem happened yesterday and then today it can't doesn't seem to happen, while adding that it is a brand NEW phone I purchased less than 24 hours ago and that I still am under the 14 day time-frame. I explain to him kindly that I would not be able to verify the fix (Apple does a restore or even changes the glass and returns me the phone and I must believe that the problem was fixed?? - Hel No!) and its not so nice to hear from Apple that they can't take responsibility for a defective product. He kindly says sorry and explains that it is policy and that they have to try to repair first. Oh how I wish I could've gotten Apple to sign my policy document for my money...sigh..don't work like that! So I left Apple and ran across to Best Buy mobile store asking for a replacement. The guy says Best Buy mother store and Best Buy Mobile store keep there own stock during holidays and he can't help. Sweet! I drive down 10 miles and go to a different Best Buy 'Mother' store and of course I'm asked to stand in the line. I swallow my pride and become a part of the line. My turn comes and again I explain the problem and of course the Best Buy clerk says 'Did you try a restore?' What!! Anyways, after a bit of reasoning (cribbing) with a couple of Best Buy agents, I was able to get them to replace my Iphone 5s (and of course they didn't have a gold color so I had to settle for the space gray..not a big deal though as long as this one is not defective also!)
    So anybody had this display issue? Issue with Apple customer service?
    Rs,
    GH

    Well they offered to do everything they could to work with you on the device....You are right in saying that the offered what they 'could'. Unfortunately what they could was tied by company policy.
    Just like being human there are times things just go wrong- 2 out 2 IPhones 5s in 2 days! I hope people are doing better :-p
    You fought against people at the store level who have /zero/ control over policy and had their hands tied by what theri bosses tell them to do. Agreed. I left instead of fighting. Unfortunately they are the first line of support and a manager maybe as far I'd get. Would love to chat with Steve Jobs but I guess now there is only one way for that :-p
    They not only rushed you to get service to repair the device but you didn't even do any troubleshooting of your own to try to repair it. Now what if a restore had fixed your issue, you would have kept your device, your color, and what you paid for... - I disagree. If you read my original post, the problem happened the same evening I bought the phone. When I went to Apple I was not able to reproduce the issue. So you tell me how do I verify that restore fixed it? Wait and watch? After 14 days I can't even return the phone. The other speculation made by the rep was changing the glass. I would not try that for obvious reasons.
    Why /wouldn't/ you try to repair something before spending your gas/time to replace it the moment something is amiss.
    hmmm..
    Now the 2nd new phone makes a rattling sound. Something is loose inside..I'd rather spend gas/time and return it than get them 'repair' it or give me a refurbished phone! Why? Because I can at this point and still get a new one with possibly no defects(fingers crossed) or I could find a company that makes better quality products :-p

  • My iPhone 4S went into lock-up with a screen display image of USB connector pointing to iTunes logo. I took it to a Verizon store and they said I have a brick lock and that only an Apple retail store 50 miles away could clear it

    My iPhone 4S went into lockup with a screen displaying an image of the USB connector pointing to the iTunes logo. I was traveling and took the phone to the closest Verizon store. The store informed me that I had a brick lock and that only an Apple retail store could unlock the phone. The Verizon store explained that they have seen this problem with SEVERAL other 4S users who had upgraded to the new iOS7 operating system and that to their knowledge it is too demanding to work on pre-iPhone 5S phones having a far less capable processor. The closest Apple store was 50 miles away in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. I went to that store three days later (today) to reset the phone before flying out of Philadelphia Intl. Airport. The Apple store personnel were overloaded and not sensitive to my plight. They told me that I would have to make a reservation for a time 2 hours later for tech support. I couldn't do that without missing my flight - out of luck until I get back to Los Angeles. If the Verizon store explanation is true, Apple needs to accommodate 4S and earlier generation users and not force them to upgrade to a $459 iPhone 5S!

    My 4S and many of my friends works perfectly fine on IOS 7.3, no issue as all.

  • Brand new Thinkstation D10 server fails to boot, no beeps or screen display

    This server had been working fine for several weeks and today I needed to reboot it. It has been rebooted several times before so so I wasn't trying something new.   I hit the Vista Start button and it immediately shut down.  I couldn't recall if Vista prompts you to Stand-by/restart/shutdown but I think it does - this time it didn't. :/   Afterwards, it would not boot.  
    I tried: 
    Unplugging and replugging it in: it then attempted to boot but shut itself down again after about 30s. 
    a Power Supply Reset 
    Reseating the memory cards
    Removing one of the 4GB memory cards
    Trying the other memory card
    Swapping the two memory cards 
    Inserting a bootable disk (it never gets to the point of reading anything although the drive spins up)
    Checking that everything in the system board was plugged in
    Making sure none of the wires were hitting anything else (shorting out)
    When replacing that annoying cover from over the memory cards, made sure again I was not pinching any wires
    The server does not beep and the (directly connected) monitor never comes alive to display anything when I attempt to reboot. 
    Per the docs, I observed the power supply Diagnostic LEDs and front panel Power LED while attempting to boot and only the green Diagnostic LED on the power supply is ever activated.  The table indicated this means replace the system board.   
    Aack!
    Before I head for the support # and an eventual shipment back to Lenovo, would it be worth my while to try and replace the CMOS battery?  Or would a failure of that battery still have resulted in some indication of the problem (beeping and/or screen display)?  Can anyone think of something else to check?
    Just thought I'd ask around before assuming that I'm stuck with the system board diagnosis).
    Thanks

    The list of things that will make a computer power down on it's own before it can ever get into the OS or initiate a video feed is a short list.
    A CPU thermal trip usually occurs within 30 seconds.  This can be cause by a loose or improperly seated heat sink or a failure in the thermal grease coverage.  If your D10 arrived with one CPU and you recently installed a second CPU, try taking the second CPU out.  Should this work, verify the second CPU is the exact match to the first CPU and that the thermal grease is properly applied to the heat sink and the heat sink is securely mounted. 
    Ambient temperature thermal trip usually takes longer, but can be significantly shorten if the air baffle for the memory is not installed.  Computers with high Front Side Bus frequencies result in memory DIMMS that get very hot.
    DC power trip.  This can happen if too much power is being drawn through any of the PCI ports or through the power supply itself. 
    When you are using a highend video card, check to see if the video card has it's own power connector(a small six lead box).  If it does, there is a power connector, from the power supply, to plug into it.  Without that power plugged in, the video card may appear to hum, and the it will draw too much power through the PCI slot. 
    Should you have added any additional PCI adapters, try removing these for a test. If that works, add one card back in at a time to isolate the offending PCI card.
    Disconnect any USB or Firewire devices you may have attached, including the mouse and keyboard.  If it comes back up and you have video, power down and reconnect the keyboard and mouse only and try again.
    If you have the memory card reader option and kids, check to make certain no one has inserted something into the memory card readers.  My kid inserted a quarter into one of the slots on my reader.  My workstation powered down pretty fast.   Consider moving the workstation to higher ground.
    Last by not least, disconnect any additional optical drives you may have added.  Some SATA devices have both the standard PC power connector and the SATA power connector.  Do not connect both of these power sources to the same drive.  The drive will be damaged and your computer will not stay powered on for very long.
    Should this all fail to resolve the issue, contact Lenovo support.  To make your support experience faster and more pleasurable, send them this list of things you tried.  If this list of possible fixes fails, it's probably a power supply or system board issue, and I would start with the power supply.
    If an electronic device has a defect it will fail within the first 90 days.  Once you get it past the first 90 days, it is generally good for years.
    I hope this helps!!!

  • HT4044 Part of my iPad(1st gen) screen display does not show,hence I can only see it partially.It was not dropped and neither is it broken. Any help as I was told it cant be fixed and i hv 2 replace with a new unit i.e. pay in full as warranty is over? HE

    Part of my iPad screen display does not show. It was not dropped and neither is the screen broken. I was advised to see the local service provider for a diagnosis.
    I had finally managed to find time to find a local service provider last week (not easy) and was disappointed to be advised of Apple's policy of one for one exchange i.e. they wont repair and said that i would have to replace with a whole unit. As my unit is no longer under warranty, it meant that I had to pay for the full price of a new unit!
    I might as well have paid for the latest new unit but since my unit is only 2 years old at most, it would be a great waste of money.
    How can this be? Does this mean apple's product is inferior and do not last since warranty is only for one year?
    I sincerely hope there is a favourable solution otherwse my money is flushed down the drain.
    HELP!!!

    I was using my iPad last night, shut the power off and when I turned it on this morning 2/3 of the screen is not working.  It looks like the pandalela picture. What is the answer to fix this; is this a screen issue or and electronics issues.  Has anybody else experienced this?

  • Have altered the display settings on my mac mini (version 10,6,4) it is now generating a screen that doesn't produce a signal on the HDMI tv I use as a monitor. have no visible screen so cannot reset back.

    Have altered the screen resolution,(don't ask why). and am now getting a no signal message on the LG HDMI tv I use a monitor. Have tried going through an old CRT monitor, but no luck. it all worked perfectly before I meddled. Cannot see a screen to reset to a resolution that works. Am new to Macs, and not exactly overburdened with tech know how. Help please.

    thanks for your reply Stefan. have reset the pram, but no luck. still getting unsupported signal message. also tried connecting to the tv via an HDMI cable, then get the tv to detect the display. managed to get a picture of a screen saver ( purple galaxy) but this was competely static, could not get any further response, would really appreciate anything further you could add.

  • I have new IPad ...can't watch rented downloaded movie on my tv..error message is " The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies"... What is up with that???

    I have new IPad ...can't watch rented downloaded movie on my tv..error message is " The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies"... What is up with that???

    I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
    So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
    Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
    1) select Videos
    2) selected the film you want to watch
    3) click the little play button
    4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
    5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
    6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
    Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
    I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

  • Screen display enlarged and will not shrink

    iPod touch display screen photo is enlarged and will not shrink down, can't enter code to unlock. Have tried resetting by holding top & bottom buttons.
    Any ideas?

    First, try a Restore.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
