Letters of words have become less clear - how do I rectify?

I have a laptop connected to a monitor. When I opened the laptop the letters became less clear - difficult to read - how do I make the letters clear?

You can enable ClearType, used by IE as default. <br />
You need to enable ClearType system wide for all programs to make other programs like Firefox use it.

    I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!!  The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.

  • My iphon 4S and iPad 2 screen have become less responsive since I've updated to IOS8

    Hi,
    Since updating my os to IOS8 I have found that the touch screen on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad2 have become less responsive to gestures. They have also become laggy when performing commands.
    They are two distinct issues though. I have noticed the decreased sensitivity most when logging in with my pin code. I hardly ever had to enter my pincode more than once because i missed a digit but now im doing it all the time. Also when using the YouTube app the time slider is so unresponsive... and the slider when watching a fullscreen vid within safari is the same.
    I expected the laggyness after upgrading as they are older models but I don't understand why the sensitivity would reduce.
    Anyone else?

    Try resetting the wireless router.

    Try holding the Capslock key with the letter you want to be capitalized. It should work.

  • The theme I chose for my browser inexplicably vanished, and when I try to reinstate it nothing happens - how can I rectify this?

    I can't seem to put the theme back on my browser after it inexplicably vanished..
    I've tried adding a different theme but the browser is unresponsive to it and doesn't accept the changes.
    Please can I have some advice on how I can rectify it?
    Many thanks.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
    *Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
    When you are in Private Browsing mode then the persona is disabled and you get the default theme and a purple PB icon in the Firefox menu button or the right end side of the menu bar (tab bar on Linux) and "(Private Browsing)" appended to the title bar.

  • Since loading IOS 7.0.4, the images and letters/words on my ipad Mini are fuzzy and less clear. It appears the revised IOS has created this degradation to clarity and sharpness. Anyone else seeing this problem?

    My ipad mini display, including letters/words, was crystal clear until the last software upgrade. Now everything is fuzzy and less clear. I'm reading many complaints about this on the Internet forums. Since I read a lot of books on my ipad , this is particularly irritating. Anyone else seeing this issue?

    Hi Fitz,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I found adjusting the size, boldness and contrast settings on the iPad mini were very helpful.
    Here is a link to the information in the iPad User Guide on page 112:
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Large, bold, and high-contrast text
    Display larger text in apps such as Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Type, where you can turn on Larger Dynamic Type and adjust the font size.
    Display bolder text for items on iPad. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Bold Text.
    Increase the contrast of text where possible. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Increase Contrast.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud

    I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud without an Apple device.  I have gone into purchased but next to each title it merely says 'downloaded'.  I need to download them again.  It will cost a fortune to re-purchase the corrupted music!

    I tried that but it just shows 'downloaded'.  There is no little cloud next to that wording.  On an Itunes help page it shows a 'library icon' once you have logged in but that does not appear on my version of ITunes which is 11.1.  I have lost so many peices of music!  Is this some ploy by Apple to get you to buy them all over again??  Thanks for you response, if you can think of anything else I would be most grateful

  • My font totally changed after the last Firefox update. It is a little smaller, less bold and very much less clear. Please tell me how to fix this.

    The default font used on websites like Facebook, Craigslist, Google etc. has now become much worse since the last update. It is much less clear, it almost looks choppy and transparent. As if part of the letters are missing. Less bold and just a tad smaller as well. I would like to go back to the way the font used to look like, the way it does in Internet Explorer and Chrome.

    hi miked91, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
    <sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
    one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

  • Just asking how to type Arabic letters in word, in more specific how to type letter or pargraph in Arabic language in word

    Just asking how to type Arabic letters in word, in more specific how to type letter or pargraph in Arabic language in microsoft winword.
    Thanks

    Regarding your screenshot of Word, I cannot duplicate it, I only get the expected disconnected Arabic.  I am sure that nobody will be able to duplicate it unless perhaps they have the font Arial Body CS, which is not part of MS Office for Mac or OS X.  So for your contribution here to be helpful to anyone, you will have to provide a link for downloading that font.

  • So With All my apps i am using less than 300mb no music no videos, but my iPad is saying that I have used 13.1gb how can I get that lost space?

    So With All my apps i am using less than 300mb no music no videos but my iPad is saying that I have used 13.1gb how can I get that lost space?

    Did you confirm this in Settings>General>Usage>Storage? You can see how much storage space each app is taking up. If that checks out with your findings, then your space is probably being taken up by "other". You can see this when you connect your iPad to your computer and with iTunes running. You can see it in the capacity bar at the bottom of the iTunes window on the right side.
    "Other" contains most of the stuff associated with apps but not the apps or any media itself. Safari history and bookmarks, contacts, notes, text messages, email messages and so on. When "other" takes up that much space, something is wrong and usually restoring the iPad will clear that up.
    Backup the iPad, transfer purchases, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes to retrieve everything.

  • How to get rid of "Delivery costs have not been cleared" status = MM_EKKO

    Hi dear experts,
    During pretreatment of MM_EKKO archiving object (TA: SARA), I get an amazing huge amount of PO position which can not be archived due to "*Delivery costs have not been cleared*".
    I tried several ways to find out how to solve this issue but without any success.
    Point is that we do not clear delivery cost regarding those PO positions, but delivery cost are transfered directly to a global account.
    It means that those PO's won't never be cleared.
    Any ideas about how I can fix this issue?
    Best regards,
    Daniel

    Yep,
    no idea why, but when I uncheck the "Final Invoice" box save and went back into the same PO and check again the same "Final Invoice" box, then, as a miracle, SARA=>MM_EKKO=> Pretreatment knows that this document is cleared and can be archived.
    It is just that for now, really old PO's are located in the present residence time
    I hope this slyness will help someone else one day.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Well, iCloud has nothing to do with this.
    Do you have the built-in backup function Time Machine running on your Mac?

    As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.
    Welcome to the Mac family.

    my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem?  How can I fix it?

    Hi freezebri,
    The following steps may resolve your issue:
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
    When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Selectbutton will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
    If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.
    Hope this information helps ...
