Insignia 50 Inch 720p TV Brand new With Green Snow, Is this normal?

I got my first Plasma last weekend got it all hooked up and thing's are looking good. But it didn't take me long to notice a Green snow/fizz that is only on Black and dark area's. 90% of the time you can't see it if your 4-5 feet from tv. When you get closer you can see it. It really stuck out tonight when playing a very dark game on the Xbox 360 even from my normal setting range i can see the green Snow over the dark areas. It also show's up pretty bad in Thor on Blue Ray in the dark area's early in the movie. If you look close to the tv i can see it in black's on the Xbox 360 Dashboard and On the playstation 3.
Is this a normal Plasma thing? Or should i box it up and drive the fourty miles next weekend and Exchange it and try again?

This is observable on all plasma TV's to some degree at close range. Recommended viewing distance rule is generally 2x the screen size (50" x 2 = 100") so the recommended viewing distance for your TV is 8-10 feet. If you can see snow or incorrectly lit pixels from the recommended viewing distance the power supply may require a minor adjustment. Plasma panels are very picky about the power supply voltage running them & components sometimes 'drift' within their tolerance sometimes causing such an issue. Regarding plasma technology, it is generally not recommended to have a 'static' or unchanging image on the screen for an extended period of time to prevent image retention or 'screen burn'.

A deal is only a good deal if you get the best value out of the deal.
If you need a MacBook more than an iPad or an iPad more than a MacBook, then it's a good deal.
Comes down to what value the use of the product is to you.

Recently I bought a Mac book pro online, but I was surprised when I received it because there are no DVDs at all with it. Is this normal?

Ziatron-
That is a really great question! It took some digging to find the answer!
On an older Mac, about 2010 or older, you need access to one of:
• The Mac App Store ( such as on a Mac with a working 10.6.8 or better)
• working Recovery HD
• a bootable 10.7 Installer, on thumb drive, Hard drive, or DVD
So for ONE 2010 or older Mac with a bad drive, you would have to buy the US$70 Apple thumb drive, or have previously made a DVD or Hard Drive when you previously downloaded 10.7. Or you re-install 10.6.8 then overwrite it with the downloaded 10.7.
• another Mac with 10.7 installed so you could transfer Recovery HD to the down Mac with "Lion Recovery Disk Assistant"
OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
On some 2010 and most 2011 models, if Recovery HD is messed up or not Installed, but you have a working Broadband connection [with DHCP enabled], the Firmware has been upgraded so it will boot from the Internet and do the whole job using "Lion Internet Recovery" as described in the second section of this glossy article:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
If no DHCP is available [no Router upstream, either yours or your ISP's], it may not work.

Brand new with performance issues -- programs not responding, system hanging

Just this morning I began migrating from a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that has been generally reliable for the better part of 3 years (monitor housing is literally falling apart but still works great... check E-Bay later for spare parts! lol)... migrating to a Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5136 laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. It's literally right out of the box 5 hours ago and I've been reinstalling programs, transferring files, etc.
The problem is that I'm already noticing a lot of performance issues. The system (and/or programs) seem to get caught often... resulting in frequent "Program not responding" messages (some of which the system manages to bypass)... and a few of the "This program closed unexpectedly" or "This program stopping responding... do you want to check online for a solution or just close the program?" messages.
This is happening on multiple programs... tax prep software TaxAct update dialog hangs after 256 bytes downloaded every time, AVG Anti-Virus was hanging although never gave me a not responding message, Internet Explorer has stopped responding a couple times, Windows Live Mail did often, especially when I was using IMAP (since changed to POP3 and problem seems to have resolved but still). Even opening the start menu a few seconds after plugging in an external hard drive lagged the system like hell for a full two minutes until it caught up with itself.
This is unacceptable in a brand new machine. I was getting a few errors like this on my Dell every now and then but I chalked it up to an old machine that had never been wiped and had a failing hard disk. I understand the computer moving slower, especially as I've been installing a lot, running antivirus, downloading all at once, but no way programs should simply stop responding this often. I could do twice the activity on my Dell and have no issues.
I've uninstalled several of the preloaded programs... the antivirus, quickbooks, etc. I've also disabled and/or uninstalled several of the other programs like Toshiba Reeltime and Toshiba Zoom Manager or whatever that was. Nothing has seemed to help. And that's not surprising... the speed is great, it's that programs are getting caught so often, sometimes every time or every other time I open up a program.
Is this a Windows 7 thing? (This is first time using Windows 7, coming from Vista). Is it a Satellite thing?
Anyone have any suggestions? Is it possible there's just some component that's bad? Processor, RAM, etc.?
Thanks... very frustrated!

I may have found a solution. I changed my startup programs and stopped some of the Toshiba software from running at startup. The ones I stopped are listed below. I have used the laptop heavily for two days now and have not had any problems. It actually runs very fast. I hope this will help.
Toshiba Reel Time
Toshiba Sleep
Toshiba PC Health Monitor
Toshiba WebCamera App.
Toshiba Power Saver

For people that don't know how to change these, here are the instructions.
Click Start > Type msconfig in the search box > open msconfig > click on the startup tab > remove the checkmarks next to the above programs > restart computer.
Doing this may not fix your problems, but it did fix mine.

IWork apps all stall irresponsive with lion. Is this normal behavior?

All iwork apps, either eat more then 1gb (each) of RAM or stall irresposive since I installed Lion. They stall with copy-paste, or apha selection, or just when opening. Is this normal? Looking forward for a fix.

Hi Steve,
While I can't fully answer your question, maybe I can point you in the right direction.
The network connection iWork applications make at startup is a query for new help content.
This seems like a useful function to me, so I don't know if you'd want to investigate disabling it or not, but apps loading slowly is never fun!
If you can't get your Network Administrator to fix the problems with using Macs on your network, I'd look around for something to do with non-permanently disabling this function through a .plist edit. I know that's what you're doing already, but maybe knowing what function it is you're after will help you find what you're looking for!

Brand New Installation of Snow Leopard Takes A Very Long Time To Log In

Hello All
I installed Snow Leopard onto a friends computer this past weekend and I have run into a strange issue. The computer in question is a Black MacBook 2.16 GHz with 2GB of RAM. The first thing I did was to back up the computer to an external hard drive using TimeMachine. Next, I formatted the drive and zeroed out all of the data. I then installed Mac OS X 10.6 onto the computer. During the initial boot process, I restored the applications, home directory, and misc. files from the TimeMachine backup. The first login took an extremely long time to log in. I figured that the Mac was sorting out the newly restored files and home directory and such and this was probably normal. Then I ran all of the software updates to get the machine completely current. When I rebooted, it took a really long time to log in. I thought maybe the machine was sorting out and installing the new updates (even though it has never taken this long on my MacBook. So I started up from the Snow Leopard install CD and ran DiskUtility and repaired the disk and permissions. Upon another reboot (I timed it this time) it, again, took a very long time ... *8.5 minutes!* I'm at my wits end and am thinking about rebuilding the machine again to see if this build is better. Also, as far as I can tell, the System is working perfectly once I get logged in; no spinning beach ball, hangs, kernel panics or what have you. Also, the machine didn't have this issue before I rebuilt it. Has anybody ever heard of this before? If so, is there a nice fix for it?
Thank you all for reading and have a good day.

Check /System/Library/StartupItems & /Library/StartupItems on the Black MacBook. Any items in either folder is not part of the Snow Leopard install & may be causing the slow starts. Also check System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items, especially if the log in screen comes up quickly & most of the delay is after entering the account password. It is normal to see the iTunes Helper app login item, but any others may be causing the delay, especially if they are not fully compatible with Snow Leopard or are apps that require Rosetta to start up before they will run. The same goes for any items n the "Others" section of System Preferences.

Brand New Imac 20": Kernel error on normal start up.

I have a Imac G5 with bluetooth keyboard and mouse (just moved from pc to mac) . I took it out of the box and just after it ended the setup it said that had losted connection with the mouse and keyboard and froze, i had to rebot it and since then it starts up and after a little while crashes and give me the kernel error. I tried to reinstall the os and software but it keeps with the same problem (in the installation when it is using the second disk and its installing the bundled software, it shows the kernel sign).
When i start up in safe mode the Imac acts just fine, the keyboard and mouse work just fine and the sistem doesnt crash or give me the kernel sign. All the software and internet connection works just fine. I only losse the sound, Isight (in normal mode it crashes with or without the Isight) and airport (all factory installed).
Please help me, i moved from pc looking for peace of mind and it has been difficult with this problem.

Hello Sandra:
Since your Mac is so new, I suggest you call Applecare and have the people there help trouble shoot your problem. It could be a hardware problem also.
You were right to switch. Macs are, for the most part, trouble free.

Opening a link using "open link in new window" does not work. I can only use "open in new tab" option. Is this normal with the Firefox 4?

I really don't have any more info. When I upgraded my Firefox to the latest version I have noticed that I can 't use this Open in new window option any more. I have reinstalled the software using its US English version( first time I have chosen the UK English version) but to no avail.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

New Ideapad U160 scratched - is this normal?

My new U160 Notebook arrived today and I found it scratched on the power button on the black bar surrounding the status lights. The box was properly sealed and I did find any signs of tampering. I can still exchange the unit but would only do so if this is not normal. Please advise.

can you upload any photo?

New connection very slow - is this normal ?

Hi
I just had option 3 broadband installed today but seem to be stuck on an IP profile of 2 Mbps. It was supposed to be 6-8, probably 7 Mbps.
The line is clean and I tried the quiet line and it was very quiet.
I understand there's a 10 day bedding in period, but wouldn't it start high and go down from there ?
How long will I have to wait at 2 Mbps ?
Cheers

2mb is the starting point. You need to stay connected 24/7 for next 10 days as that is initial training period. if still 2mb after training then come back to the forum. Bt will not help during training period

IPad Loudspeaker hiss when using an app with sound. Is this normal?

Is it normal when an app that uses sound is launched (even the keyboard causes it) a very faint hiss sound is emitted from the iPad speaker? It is not constant either, only occurs when it's about to make a sound and for 5-6 seconds afterwards.
It is not loud, only fairly faint and can only be heard when the room is silent or you place your ear near the speaker.
Is this normal?

Hi,
Yes it's only minor and I have tried resetting which has no effect.
For example, when I open up mail or safari and then the keyboard pop's up it has a faint hiss from the speaker which then disappears after 5 seconds until I press a key of which then triggers it to reappear. It sounds like the audio amplifier running the internal speaker has some hiss and to save battery life it turns the speaker off when it isn't needed (hence why it disappears after 4-5 seconds).
It is only noticeable in a very quiet room and I guess it doesn't help that I have fantastic hearing.
I guess it's no big problem and it doesn't happen when I use headphones but it's just something I'd like to check in case it's the sign of a fault.
Thank you for your response red555, much appreciated.

I have Possible screen problem with iPhone 5 - Is this normal?

I have an iPhone 5 purchased about 4 months ago and I'm not sure if this is a defect or not but when I boot up the iPhone and the Apple logo appears all around the logo is totally black except for the upper left corner. That corner has a yellowish/whitish tint when I assume like the rest of screen around the logo it should be totally black. There is no other issue or complaint about it I just I'm just wondering if this is common or can lead to future screen problems.
Thanks for all your input!

This is not normal. Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation
