Imac 27" dark side left lower left corner of screen

Anybody knows how to go about ? Left lower corner of my screen is going dark and accordig to some forums online I'm not the only one. Unfortunately I don't see anyone reporting that Apple is taking responsibility to the faulty screen and only shows ways to fix it yourself by sautering the cables for the connecting cables leading to the LCD screen. I don't trust myself to do that ... yet. Anybody has any advice as Apple supposably will charge up to $1000 to replace the entire screen instead of fixing the cables. Please help. Thanks!!

Hi Rainer,
While creating the dialogbox container object, just set metric property to '1' (for Pixels) and then while setting TOP and LEFT you can provide pixels.
For example,
 CREATE OBJECT REF_DIALOGBOX_CONTAINER
 EXPORTING
 WIDTH = 100
 HEIGHT = 100
 TOP = 638
 LEFT = 924
 CAPTION = 'hello world'
 metric = 1.
Then your calculation simply becomes,
l_box_pos_x = ls_metric_factors-screen-x - lc_box_width.
l_box_pos_y = ls_metric_factors-screen-y - lc_box_height.
NOTE: Now you will see that your dialog box is a SQUARE!!
Hope this helps..

How to create a popup notification in lower right corner of screen

Hi
I am fairly new to GUI building in Java. I am using Netbeans 5.0 and currently developing a desktop application. I wanted to display informational messages from the application to come up in lower right corner of screen - similar to when in MSN or Yahoo messenger if new person signs in. Similar pop-up is also found in Norton when it finishes live update.
Currently I am using JOptionPane.showMessageDialog to do this, but it would be more appealing with messages showing on the side without interrupting the application user.
Can someone point me to what I should look at to achieve this? Any sample code would be great help.
Thanks

Use JFrame from javax.swing package. JOptionPane is a built-in dialog that is located at the center of its parent component. With JFrame u can specify the position of your GUI. Try to read the Sun's java tutorial on Creating GUI with Swing: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/index.html

Amodal dialog box: positioning in lower right corner of screen

I have what seems a quite common requirement, that is to automatically position an amodal dialog box (CL_ABAP_DIALOGBOX_CONTAINER) to the lower right corner of the screen.
The logical approach to do this would be to read the screen resolution, deduct the size of the box, and pass the result to the TOP and LEFT parameters of the constructor of the container.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any documentation of what the values for TOP and LEFT (and for WIDTH and HEIGHT, for that matter) really represent. They're not screen pixels, that's for sure.
To read the screen resolution, I execute the following code:
DATA:
lo_consumer TYPE REF TO cl_gui_props_consumer,
ls_metric_factors TYPE cntl_metric_factors.
lo_consumer = cl_gui_props_consumer=>create_consumer( ).
ls_metric_factors = lo_consumer->get_metric_factors( ).
In ls_metric_factors-screen-x and ls_metric_factors-screen-y I get back the screen resolution (x = 1280 and y = 994 on a 1280 x 1024 screen, weirdly, but close enough). Got this from another SDN post, BTW - thanks.
When I manually position my dialog box to the farthest right lower corner, so that the mouse cursor can just about reach it, the GET_LEFT and GET_TOP methods for the dialog box return LEFT = 1453 and TOP = 387. So, obviously, these values have nothing to do with screen pixels.
What I did, then, was to calculate a factor between the screen pixels and the TOP and LEFT values - a factor which is different for the X and the Y dimensions. I got:
- (1453 / 1280) = 1.135 for the x dimension
- (387 / 994) = 0.389 for the y dimension.
With these factors, I calculate the initial position of the box as follows:
l_box_pos_x = ( ls_metric_factors-screen-x * lc_factor_x ) - lc_box_width.
l_box_pos_y = ( ls_metric_factors-screen-y * lc_factor_y ) - lc_box_height.
This seems to work fine, at least on my system and my front-end PC, with all supported resolutions from 800 x 600 up to 1280 x 1024.
It just leaves the question open: Does anybody know what the unit of measure for the sizing and positioning parameters of controls is? Why a box with a width and a height of 100 [whatevers] each is not square, but rectangular?
And finally: does somebody have a more intelligent way to do this?
Thanks, regards & stuff

A symbol appears in lower right corner of screen???

I get this symbol appearing in the lower right of my screen on my w510. It is a capital A with what looks like a "house" around it. Can anyone tell me what it is and how to get rid of it?

What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?

What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean? [Fig. 1]
I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
Again, any help is appreciated.
Fig.1

OK, I think I might have figured this out.
First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha.
Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
Thanks for trying to help anyway.

Blue thin line on the lower left iMac G4 Flat Panel

Hi, since yesterday there is a blue thin line (0,039 inches (1 mm) thin; 35 inches (9 cm) long on the panel of my iMac G4 Flat Panel. It looks like drawing with a ruler, so straight and so fine.
The line is on the left lower corner in a vertical position. At first I thought these are dead pixels, but I checked this. No dead pixels. I have changed the desktop picture etc., but it`s all the same. I run the apple hardware-test cd - no problems found. Is there someone with any idea? Is it possible to have a damaged graphics- chip although the hardware-test is o.k.?
Does it make sense to open the iMac and look for dust and dirt on the motherboard?
Thank you for any help, Matse

Matse,Willkommen zu den

What happens if you change the
display resolution? (Apple Menu > System
Preferences... > Displays > Display tab >
Resolutions) If the line stays in exactly the same
place despite the resolution change this points to an
LCD rather than graphics card issue.
mrtotes
thank you Adam for that hint. The line stays exactly in the same place. That means it is an LCD issue? That´s your opinion? Do you have any idea if it is possible to repair it, or is the only possibility to change the panel?
Thank you, Matse

Lower left corner of macbook seems weakened, what can I do?

Hi,
I have a macbook pro, 13 in. mid 2009 running Lion. The trackpad seems to have been weakened in the lower left corner. To be clear, it still works just fine, but it seems to have become mechanically less responsive. When I click on the left side, the trackpad depresses by a noticably smaller amount than the right side. The clicking sound is also a lot quieter, and the left corner looks like it rests a fraction of a milimeter lower than the right side. I am a left handed user, and probably click on the left side 90% of the time. Is there anything I could do to fix it? How much would it cost to fix? I could probably live with it but it bugs me.
Thanks!
Zac

If you AppleCare has not yet expired, I would suggest you make an appointment at the genius bar to have them take a look at it. If it is defective, it should be covered under your AppleCare (assuming it isn't expired)

Yellow Spot in lower Left corner

Hello everyone,
Last Week I finally received my iPad Wifi... But after some usage I've discovered a really annoing Problem.
When watching a Movie or looking at a black picture (for example the booting screen) I can see a really big Yellow Spot in the lower Left Corner of my iPad !
Is this normal or a reason for getting a replacement ....
I will try to Upload some Pictures...

I Know this Display bleeding from LCD Monitors .... But I've Never seen it so strong!
Here are some Photos I made in the Dark :

I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac. when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

When I create a calendar, in iphoto 8, I had an information pane lower left corner with date and time of the picture. Can it possibly be that the iphoto developers forgot about that in iphoto 9? This was very helpful when placing images according to date.

Today I updated to the latest iphoto version. The update itself went smooth and nice as one is used to from Apple. But when I wanted to finish my already started calendar, I have encountered two problems. The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto. Instead I have to open the iphtoto library in aperture but then my calendar isn't there. So now I have to copy images back and forth. No problem.
However, the old iphoto had a small information area in the lower left corner which was very nice to place images on an exact date. This seems to be gone...?? Really? How am I supposed to sort images according to date and time when I have to back to the library view every time? That's not very convenient..Or am I missing something?
Thanks for ANY help!
Patrick

The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto.
THat is exceeding strange since iPhoto '08 could not open or share an Aperture library - that ability was first introduced in iPhoto '11 - with the latest version of iPhoto and or Aperture you can open the same library with either application - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
In the current version of iPhoto the photos are sorted by date in the film strip - I've not recently done a calendar so do not remember the specifics -

In the iDVD window, there is a box in the lower left corner. When I scroll over it, I get the message to hide or show the intro movie. Checking or unchecking the box seems to do nothing. Can anyone explain?

Working with iDVD on a project, there is a box in the lower left corner and sometimes another in the lower right corner. Scrolling over the one in the lower left corner, I get a message indicating that this box hides or shows the intro movie. I have checked and unchecked the box, but see nothing different in the project. Nor can I figure out what is meant by "intro movie." Can anyone explain?

Go to iDVD Help and type in Intro Movie, and you will get the full version of this:
Many iDVD themes have “motion menus” that include animations or video that loop, or play repeatedly, until the viewer clicks a menu button. Themes with motion menus have a motion icon in the lower-right corner.
In addition to background video, iDVD motion menus may also feature an intro, or short animation, that plays once before the part that loops. Other motion menus also include an “outro” that plays after the viewer clicks a button, serving as a transition between the menu and the selected content.
An example of an iDVD 6.0 theme with an intro and an outro is Reflection White Main. In this theme, the first drop zones appear in the intro, and the buttons and title appear just before the looping part of the background video. In the outro, everything flies offscreen after the viewer clicks a button.
iDVD provides tools for viewing these motion menus without going into preview mode, which is especially helpful when you are filling drop zones, and for turning the intro or outro off.
Here are ways to view and edit the background movie:
◼
Drag the diamond-shaped motion playhead along the scrubber bar (shown below), to view the background movie, stopping wherever you like.
(If you don’t see the motion playhead in iDVD, choose View > Show Motion Playhead.)
◼
Deselect the checkboxes at the left and right end of the scrubber bar if you don’t want to use the intro or outro, respectively, in your DVD menu.
The scrubber bar shows the intro and outro as shaded areas at the beginning and end.
You can also control the intro and outro from the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (and with no buttons or text objects selected), press Command-I to open that window. Select or deselect the Intro and Outro checkboxes in the Background section of the window.
NOTE: If you drag your own movie to a motion menu background, the outro is automatically removed. To customize the background and keep the outro, use a still image in the menu background instead of a movie.

My Screen Is Blurry, Pixilated and Won't Respond To Touch In Lower Left Corner

I noticed it was sitting in some serious condensation from my icy drink earlier but it was the backside. First the lower left corner started acting strangely and wouldn't respond to touch. The screen looks blurry like I'm seeing double and then it gets slightly pixilated. It hasn't been updated yet to iOS 7.1.2 though. Wondering if I should power down and put it in the rice for 24 hours. I pulled the sim card out and checked the white to see if it turned red. It didn't, but my last phone was water damaged and it also stayed white.

Has anyone experienced anything like this from just condensation? I'm rice-bagging it for 48 hours just in case. I couldn't find anything like this online.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another. I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition. The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them. In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!
Custom Permissions

Programs will not open. The button in the lower left corner of the screen continuously blinks.

Whenever I open Firefox on my other laptop I cannot get into any programs. The icon in the lower left corner of the screen that lets you know when a program has completed loading just blinks constantly.

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)
