  • Does anyone screen freeze and have white lines going through it

    My screen seems to freeze and have white lines going through it like its defective. It happen about 6 times already today.

    Hi,
    To do the PRAM reset, just click on the highlighted words in my last post, it will take you to an Apple Support page which tells you how to do it. No, it will not delete anything.
    If you have only had it 10 months, it is under the standard 1-year warranty.
    To make an appointment with the Genius Bar, visit this site. If you are not in the United States, choose your region from the pulldown menu on the right.
    By the way, that PRAM link is for Yosemite. If you have Mavericks, go here.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The Welcome to Thunderbird takes up half the screen, and I can't delete it.

    Since that notice popped up, it takes up the bottom half of the screen, and I can't find a way to delete it. Sometimes when I open Thunderbird, the Welcome message isn't there, but one of my regular emails takes up the bottom half of the screen instead. I want to go back to a basic list of emails and only read the ones I click on.

    If that is the Thunderbird start page, you can disable that from Preferences/Options > General by unchecking the box under "Thunderbird Start Page".

  • My screen has some lines going through it, it is the old model.

    My screen now has a line about 2 inches wide going across it. I have restarted it a couple of times to no avail. It has not fallen that I am aware of.

    Thank you for trying to help. I followed your advice but the lines are still there. I made an appointment to see the Apple tech. Appreciate your effort!!

  • Black Line going through middle of screen, getting bigger by the day.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you would be able to help me fix this problem.
    My HP Omni 120-1034 Desktop PC was working fine until 2 weeks ago when a thin lack line appeared through the middle of the screen going horizontally.  It is getting darker and bigger as the days go. I just re-installed the Graphics Driver but that is not helping.
    please help. Thanks

    That sounds like the display panel which, as you might imagine, is hard to get at on an all-in-one. To be sure, on a laptop we would connect it to an external monitor but yours does not have an external monitor port. Replacement screens are about $130 on eBay.

  • When I click to launch firefox it says your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. How do I fix this? I have been through all the troubleshooting and can not figure this out.

    This just randomly occured when I tried to get online yesterday. I tried to go through run and pull up my profile but it does not seem to be there. I tried to create a new profile through run as well and it just pops up this error message. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and that does not seem to wrok either.
    This is not an issue on any other user accounts

    Simon,
    SMON is the system monitor process. Basic function is to cleaup/reset after database (or system) crash. You may want to view the trace files themselves for more.
    In general I would be concerned enough to open a TAR w/Oracle to make sure. But, I wouldn't be frantic (assuming the DB is performing OK).

  • Iphone 4 is making me double-tap the screen and is reading everything to me. How do I make that stop?

    My grandmother has an iphone 4. She doesn't know what happened but suddenly it started to read her everything and is making her double-tap her screen. How do I get that setting removed?

    This has to do with accessibility. You can triple-tap the home button to get it off for right now. Then go into Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off VoiceOver. If you have difficulty getting there, to use VoiceOver, you tap once to select an item, double-tap to activate it and swipe with 3 fingers to scroll.

    This is a joke, when is this going to be fixed?
    We are in the 21st Century, MS is the world's leading software company, we are at the peak of human development, technology and knowledge - and yet someone thinks it is OK to waste 50% of our very expensive standard computer screens with junk!! I am
    partially sight-impaired and I need as much text space as possible. It took me a long time to be able to afford my new ultrabook with 365 and now it is near impossible for me to communicate with the outside world. What were you thinking? Please advise when
    this will be fixed? Mark
