Icon and Glance
I know this has been brough up before, but come on, I want Glance back!!
I upgraded from a Lumia 928 to the Icon. It is a great phone, but losing one of the most useful features, at least for me, is making me rethink my decision.
Is there any progress on getting Glance on the Icon?
Interestingly, looking at the 930 (and 630 and 635), which were all announced today, none of them listed Glance as as feature. I cut and pasted a comparison between the 920 and 930 for reference.

I never much believed in the Verizon "conspiracy" issue. I was always holding out hope that it was going to be integrated into Windows Phone 8.1. I still don't get the "hardware limitation" excuse I have mainly heard from Nokia, but if it is not on the Icon, and now the 930 (which is basically the international version of the Icon), it at least seems semi-legit. I have also read a bunch about the 1520 having problems with Glance now, so perhaps the larger screen resolution is the issue. Anyways, here is hoping Nokia get it fixed, as I sorely miss that feature after upgrading from the 928 to the Icon.

Lost SMS Icon and get error message Uncaught exception Index 20 = 20
Dear All
I have lost my SMS Icon and looking at previous forums have carried out the following techniques which do not work
1. I have gone to Messages - Options - SmS & Email Inboxes - Seperate but this does not solve anything
Within this step i have switched off phone taken out battery etc...
2. I have gone to Applications - menu - "show all" but my SMS icon cannot be found
Just to note even when i go to Messages - View Folder - SMS Inbox .....i get the error message again
Uncaught exception Index 20 > = 20
Anyone able to help ? Would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksYou may have already figured out your fix - but yesterday I went thru the same thing with my son's phone. Overnight he lost his SMS & MMS Icon and was receiving Uncaught Exception Index 28 >= 28. I called Verizon Tech Support and was told there was a corrupt file in the calendar.
We backed up the phone using the Desktop Manager - performed a security wipe and restored his phone.
His phone is back up and running as it should be. Hope this helps.

I have installed Adobe Premiere Pro cc on my laptop, but I cant find a way to start the program. No Icon, and it is not showing up in the start meny. It is showing up in add/remove programs, but nt anywhere else.
If you are using a Mac, simply hit Command-Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search. Begin typing the name of the application and when you see what you are looking for, press enter. You should get a hit by the second or third letter you type. Great way to launch apps on computers that you are not familiar with.
Windows 7 and 8 should have something similar. I think you simply press the Windows key and begin typing. Press enter when you see a match.
Both Mac and Windows search tools can be customized to search for applications, files, emails and so forth. For Windows, look for Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. For Mac, go to Preferences Spotlight. Turn off items you know you won't need to speed up searches.

Photoshop CC icons and text are too small: how to adjust so they're readable? [was: Joanne]
I have just downloaded Creative Cloud on a new computer. The new photoshop icons and text are too small for me to see or work with. I cannot seem to adjust this so its "useable"
Hey Bob,
Ive put feature requests for this in before and I know many others have as well. Is there any way to see if Adobe is actually working on this? I dont really consider this a feature request, it should be standard with the software. A feature request would be something like creative cloud libraries, not the ability to make font sizes and icons bigger. -
HELP!
I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010. From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it. After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy. I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
1. 90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
(This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
2. Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
3. Files and photos double up when in Finder. When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
photos.
4. Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
5. Programs won't update. They will download onto my iMac but won't update. Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns. Skype won't open just gives a failure
report.
6. 10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to clear but then all the above problems continue.
7. Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
8. Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
9. Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
10. Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something. Or I have something malicious on my computer.
I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive. A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
Thanks so much.HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

When I turn on my iMac it comes up with the login icons which I then choose and log into. The password works and I then get the apple icon and the spinning wheel. After about a minute the Apple icon turns into a prohibited icon. However, if I log in under the guest icon, I can access the wifi and get to Safari. I really don't know what to do next. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Are you running any A-V? If it's an iMac 21.5, I don't think you're running Leopard, 10.5. Probably at least Snow Leopard, 10.6. This is the Leopard forum.
This article says meant for 10.3.9 and eariler, but contains some still useful suggestions.

Try a Safe Boot. Shift at the startup chime and expect a much longer time to boot. This will bring you to a login screen with "Safe Boot" in red.
Look at this as well.

Strange things happened since my mbp 13' (MD-101) was upgraded to 10.8.4 ----------- time icon, battery icon,and language icon (these icons can be moved when held Command key and drag) cannot be loaded on startup, but they still can be loaded when you get into System Preferences and manually turn them on, as well as iStat Menus
However, some other icons didn't bother, things like BetterTouchTool, NewsBar. They are immovable!! I guess it is the key factor that the icon is movable or not making the difference.
Someone please lend me a helping hand?
I've attached some pictures in order to make my situation easier to be understood.
these icons can't be loaded on my loggin in.
but they can be loaded manually
however, these icons will be loaded on startup
I've almost despaired to resolve it . Thanks for your help!I have a similar issue. When the computer goes into "Hibernate" mode -- that is, it loses power while sleeping and it writes the contents of it's memory to disk in order to boot into that exact configuration when woken up -- many of my icons when Apple-Tab'ing to another application appear as static. They look like a slightly colorized version of the "static snow" you see when tuning into a station that doesn't exist on a UHF antenna television. Also, icons in Chrome such as web sites "favorite icons" or favicon.ico (the icons that appear in the URL bar and bookmarks) will be scrambled in the same fashion , at first , until the actual icon is loaded.
Between this, my menu bar and finder icons not displaying, and being unable to boot into safe mode, I'm getting quite ******. I have no idea what the **** is going on with my Macbook Pro. The issue of the scrambled icons actually existed prior to installing an SSD and doing a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I may end up throwing in the towl and re-installing the operating system but I'm sure SOMETHING will happen. It seems the latest update, 10.8.2, is absolute garbage.
What the ****, Apple? And I really don't want to take the computer to the morons at the Apple Store. They are not "geniuses" by any measure. -
I'm trying to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I'm using the 'mini-display port to female HDMI" adapter. all i can see is my desktop background. no folders or icons and when i play a movie it goes blank.
Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV. This is the extended desktop mode.

I updated my ipad 3 with the ios7 update. Now the screen shows the itunes icon and a pic of the plug in (as to plug into itunes) When I do this it wants to restore my ipad, which I have already done. I can't get out of this screen. Any hints on what to do next?
Something went wrong with your update; you are in Recovery Mode.
Follow step 1 to 6 closely to recover your iPad.

Help! My iPhone 4 displays a cord to an itunes icon and I can't get it to go away...even when plugged into my computer. My computer doesn't recognize it as a device. How can I just cancel all this and get my phone back to normal?
You might want to try performing a hard reset of your device; this will restart it and generally clear out any errors, it will not erase any data on your device.
Press and hold both the home button and the lock button (the button on the top right of the iPhone) for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. -
My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?
Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.
