pressing command + option + "+" or "-" causes the screen to zoom in, which makes it seem at a lower resolution, maybe you pressed this shortcut by accident.

  • IPad Screen problem green and fuzzy

    I was happy with my Ipad going online and reading books for hours a day until recently when I turned it on! The screen is greenish and fuzzy like when you have a bad reception on a tv with an analog signal... please help! I have no access to a genius bar as I'm living in Dubai, I had mine shipped here from the online store.

    Big thank you to you and BoboWoodyo. Anyone having a problem with their screen looking like an old analog tv who's rabbit ears needed to be adjusted (or worse) should try tapping the upper right edge with their hand a few times before doing anything else. Such an easy fix-who'd of thought?  Obviously not me and just as obviously, it is most likely a hardware glitch. I wish I had found this solution at the beginning of my day and not the end. I have a well loved, well used 1st gen Ipad.  I had tried all solutions found on this page plus others....hard reboot several times, reset thru itunes, different usb cord, etc. and nothing worked. I had an unreadable screen. My last resort was a clean factory reset found using clear, precise directions from ipadforums.net  I know this was successful because of the on-screen itune messages I was getting but at the end of it all, I still could not read my ipad screen.  I walked away and had a pity party  . I decided to do one more search for a possible solution and happened upon this page.  3 taps was all it took - a beautiful, clear, readable screen again.  No apps, no music, no photos, no books, no magazines but it works again so I'm just going to hold on to that happy thought for right now.

  • IBook screen goes blue and flashes

    From time to time by screen blanks out and goes blue. It then flickers and goes back to desktop, but not with my dektop pictures but a default blue desktop picture. Only started happening a few days ago. Currently set at 1024x768 60Hz (NTSC). Keeps trying to set cailbration for television amd not lcd.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having an almost identical problem. I'll be using an application and in the middle of something and the whole screen suddenly goes blue for a second or two, then returns to what i was doing. it seems to be getting worse. at first it was a second or 2 now it's more like 5 or 10 seconds at a time. My ibook is only 19 days old!! I'll be calling apple later to see what they suggest, and keep you posted.

  • Cleaning a schmotz off the iBook screen... and HD and Optical drivequestion

    FIRST: I was hoping to find this info in a FAQ somewhere, but couldn't come up with it. I have an iBook G4 (14-inch Late 2004)/1.33GHz/768 MB RAM/ATA 40GB HD/Slot-loading combo -- NOT Super -- drive) that I bought second-hand from some leased-computer salvage yard. The price was right and it works fine, but in its former apparently corporate life, it looks like somebody blew their nose on the screen, then made a half-hearted attempt to wipe it off with a dirty sock. There's a schmotz almost dead center in the screen (that you can really see when the Book is on) as a maybe 1 mm gray smudge, and when the Book is off, you can see a larger, streaked area where someone apparently tried to clean off the original blemish, whatever it is. Could someone suggest the safest, least screen-threatening method of cleaning this muck off the display?
    SECOND: I have a couple Aluminum (I think, though the ports arranged at the rear -- not the sides -- make them look like TiBooks) 15" PBG4s. One has a 40GB, and the other has a 60GB 4200-rpm Ultra ATA/66 HD (though I thought the bigger one was 80GB or 100GB -- is this possible?). Both PBG4s are in full working order, except their displays are dead (one from me dropping one of the 'Books on a tile floor from a height of about 4 feet, the other from the dreaded display-cable-through-the-left-hinge-flex-and-finally-break syndrome. Since the HDs in the PBG4 are Ultra ATA/66/4200 rpm, and the iBook G4 HD is a 40GB ATA/100 4200 rpm, is it possible to swap one of the PBG4 Ultra ATA HDs for the plain old ATA HD in the iBook G4?
    THIRD: Is it possible, or even worthwhile, to replace the iBook G4's Combo Drive for one of the PBG4 SuperDrives?
    Thanks for your help!

    Bart:
    The HDDs from the PBs should work fine if they are still functional. Any 2.5" ATA/IDE drive should work.
    In terms of the smudge, try a damp lint-free cloth. You may need repeated applications. Wipe in circular motions. You can probably try a mild soap like ivory, but wipe it off with a damp cloth immediately. Soaps other than ivory may have caustic substances that can hurt the display.
    In terms of swapping the optical drive for a SuperDrive it may work, although I am not sure if they both need to be the same make. Try it and let us know.

  • Screen is faulty and fuzzy.

    Ive had my 4th gen nano for some time and in that time the screen has gone fuzzy a few times as in diagonal serrated lines across the screen making it difficult to see what Im doing. In the past simple manual resets would fix this, then I had to use in itunes restore and one time when that didnt work I accidently hit it on my bookcase and well... the screen cleared up!
    Though this time it has happened again and no matter what I do I can not fix the screen.
    When I do resets the apple logo comes up perfectly visable but the main menu is obscured so I dont know if this is a screen fault or not.

    Many users, reporting the bleeding, have posted here, saying they took the unit back to an Apple store and had it replaced.  Isn't that the kind of thing you'd do if you had a hardware problem?  (If not the store, then contacting Apple directly for instructions on a repair.)  Of course getting a replacement at some locations was a problem due to the short supplies.  YMMV.
    While many have had the bleeding problem, it seems most users have none.  So it's not universal.  My wife's new iPad, ordered within the first hour it was available from the web site, came without any problems.  For others there were problems.  I don't see a recall if most iPads don't bleed.

  • Screen display enlarged and fuzzy

    I connected to a digital projector for a powerpoint presentation yesterday. The computer crashed and since then the dialogue boxes, top function bar, desktop icons, dashboard etc are all enlarged an fuzzy. Help. How do I correct this?

    It could be one of two thing.
    First go into system preferences and check Displays. See what your resolution is. It should be 1280X800.
    Second is to go into system preferences and check under Universal access and be sure zoom is turned off. One thing to watch for when you go into UA is to be sure enhance contrast didn't change. Some people have reported it changing when they go into UA even though they didn't do anything. It should be set to normal.

  • IPad 2 works perfectly fine except that the screen is all green and fuzzy with lines going through, what happened?

    Last night, my iPad 2 fell so gently that I don't even understand what happened. Anyways, it fell off the bed and now the screen is green and fuzzy. I read somewhere that there was a hardware problem and also that it could have moved something that might have caused it to be green and fuzzy. I also read to smack it on the back of the iPad and see if it works but it hasn't.. What happened, and do you think they will replace it?

    Even if the smack on the back worked it would be on
    Y a temporary fix. An iPad that falls off a bed onto the floor probably needs a trip to the service department. Contact Apple to make arrangements for repair.

  • Blurry and fuzzy screen appearing randomly AIO 610-1270uk

    Dear users of AIO 610-1270, is anyone has  experience with blurry and fuzzy screen appearing randomely, black color is disapiring in favor of red, you can see on attached photos.
    I upgraded video drivers, but is was helpful for very short time only.
    I checked computer's video using hp support assistant, no erroes beenrepotred even screen was blurry and fuzzy durring checking.
    I would appreciate any help in this mater

    I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
    Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
    It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

  • Screen flickers on and off

    Please help!
    My iBook screen flickers on and off every couple of minutes - it looks like it's just shutting off. Once it flickered off, flicked back on and the whole screen was red for a sec, and then switched back on normally.
    Does this mean I'm going to need a new computer?

    Maybe.
    There is some kind of inverter board and video circuit which
    may be going bad; and maybe the cost of this (or whatever
    is wrong with it) could be a fair start toward the cost of a
    new or newer computer. There should be an Apple Hardware
    Test on a bootable disc, included with the computer.
    You know, you get a fairly recent OS X version with the
    purchase of an Apple Certified refurbished machine from
    the Apple Store online; and it qualifies for the extended
    AppleCare optional coverage, past the one year service
    and 90 days support (enrolled, it adds total of three years.)
    How old is your iBook computer and could it have any
    AppleCare plan coverage left? There is a serial number
    check box in part of the Apple Support section online.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

    Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

  • I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

    I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.

  • I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone.  For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named

    I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone.  For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named with letters and numbers. Why is the IPhone creating additional "calendars"? I only asked for one to be set-up. I don't understand, I have to go into the calendar settings daily and uncheck these un-asked for calendars. Help!

    Mine is doing the same thing.  I deleted the whole account from the mail settings and it got rid of most of the extra calendars.  But there are still 2 gibberish ones left.
