New MBPr when viewing safari in full screen mode it keeps switching to the desk top screen like I initiated a gesture
Everytime I am using safari in full screen mode my MBPr always switches back to desk top view within a matter of seconds. I can be typing a website or entering data in to a form and it still switches back. This has become very annoying. I have reinstalled the software, restored from time machinw, and even reset safri but it will not stop
Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor. Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner in a strip including all that left hand. When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal. But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode. My large flat screen is relatively new.
The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.That sounds like a Hardware problem.
You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation. -
I know its as easy as just pressing a or some buttons cause it happened when my 2 year old pressed a or some buttons!
tifanie,
This happens when the CNTL key is pressed down when you scroll up. Hold CNTL and scroll down with the mouse or trackpad to unzoom.

Please help??? I have tried the reset and it seemed to have made it worse, now it won't charge completely. Any ideas?
Ignore sandeep. Don't use DFU mode. You need to use recovery mode.

Placing your device into recovery mode
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
Use iTunes to restore the device. -
When I drag the symbol from the URL line to the desktop to set up a link, I get a google chrome icon instead of a firefox icon. I removed chrome from the computer, but I still get a chrome icon which links does not work. How do I get the reference to chrome out of firefox?
Tried again about 30 minutes later, and now I get firefox links. Don't know what changed, but seems to be OK.

My IPad crashes every time I use an application. It keeps crashing to the desk top where all the other apps are at. It doesn't matter what application I'm in either. How can this be fixed?
Hey Hlrj09,
I'd check out this article and follow the troubleshooting steps within:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Even though it is geared towards applications purchased from the App Store and you're experiencing the issue with all apps, most of the steps would still be applicable to your situation. I would also take a look at the troubleshooting assistant to see if that helps:

Hope that helps,

Screen goes to sleep even when viewing movies in full screen mode
Hi, I have adjusted my settings so my screen goes to sleep after 5 minutes which is ok. But it also does this when viewing movies in full screen mode.... Is this a setting somewhere? Thanx!
Welcome to the Discussions!
"When the computer is inactive" or "idle" means when YOU, the user, are doing nothing, neither using the keyboard nor the mouse. So you have to increase that 5 mins in Energy Saver.

Just got the new iMac. The screen keeps jumping to the launch pad screen randomly when I am working in other applications.
I have the magic mouse, don't know whether it is something to do with that? Any ideas?If gumsie's suggestion isn't the answer, try logging into another account, like Guest, and see if you get the same behavior. You may need to clean the windows on the bottom of the mouse.

How can I have a PDF in Full Screnn Mode without it goinging to the next page when you click?
I'm trying to make, let's say, a mini website using a pdf that includes hyperlinks. I also want the PDF to open in FULL SCREEN Mode. For some reason, when in FULL SCREEN mode you can click on the links (works excellent), but when you click on an area of the page that is NOT a link, it forwards you to the next page in the PDF.
I ordered the full version of Acrobat X Pro, and thought that it would work saving it out of Powerpoint (original file), but I had to disable the add-in because it just kept on crashing.
I can't seem to find where i can control the "Do Not Forward to Next Page OnClick".
Help!
Thanks!If you just purchased Acrobat 10, you might be eligible for a free upgrade to Acrobat 11, which is suppposed to have much improved export to PPT.

I have just owned a macbook pro and trying to learn things since i have all along used windows laptop. My first question is : when there are two files i am working together, one above the other on screen, how you switch over between the two with key ?
Hi...
Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
Control-F4
Move focus to the active (or next) window
Shift-Control-F4
Move focus to the previously active window
By the way... since you are new to Mac, click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left corner of the screen in the menu bar.
Click Help then click Help Center
As an example type in keyboard shortcuts
You can use the Help menu for almost any application on your Mac.

The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!
Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again.. -
