Part of sleep screen message blocks book pages

Problem: Daily Edition PRS-950 2 months old. Yesterday afternoon, I slid the power button to exit sleep mode and a portion of the display screen was obscured. It looked as if a small part of the sleep screen was failing to refresh: at the bottom of the screen, there is an opaque rectangle about 1 1/2 X 2 inches. The right-hand edge of the rectangle is on a slant of about 35 degrees. There looks to be another angled side a bit further to the right, but I can't tell what is on that tiny slice. It shows about ten tiny vertical lines which remind me of a test page from a printer that's out of toner. I've reset the reader and I'm out of ideas.

I'm replying to my own message with a note about customer service for my broken Daily Edition (my $299 paperweight/boat anchor). After getting nowhere online I called the Daily Edition support folks (in India? not an American accent, for certain) and after going thru their troubleshooting process with no change to the screen issue, I was told that, since my Daily Edition was older than 30 days I qualified for a refurbished unit. Try as I might, the 30 day qualification is nowhere to be found in my copy of the product warranty. The two levels of care for my Daily Edition end at 90 days and 1 year. I insisted on getting a new reader and my issue was escalated up the chain (according to the CS rep I spoke to, there being no way to check on that) and not only was I told that the 30-day limit had been passed, but I had to give them my credit card before they'd ship me a refurbished unit. I've owned Sonys all my life and this is a new low in customer service. Nothing I can do, I suppose, except act disappointed and accept what they offer.

  • Trying to access a part of a website- message saying the page isn't redirecting properly

    Trying to get from one Sage page to their reference page. Message says "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected the server is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete."

    Can you post a link to a public page where that happens that doesn't require authentication (log in) to access it?
    Then we can check if it is a problem with that site.
    Are you allowing cookies from that site?
    If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file <i>cookies.sqlite</i> that stores the cookies is corrupted.<br />

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How to view iPhoto book pages full screen

    I have made a book in the latest version of Aperture. Now I want to view the pages of my book in full screen view - the book, not the individual pics. It would be great if I could make the book pages into a slideshow too. I can't work it out - HELP!!!

    Welcome to the forum.
    It's a bit of round robin, but you can make it a slide show. Go to File >> Print Book. In the print dialog click the PDF button in the lower left corner and choose "Save PDF to Aperture". This will bring up the import PDF Import dialog. Choose either Tiff or JPEG, and either chose a project or create a new one to save it in. Voila! You now have images of the pages to make a slideshow with. You still may want to crop the borders off the pages.

  • How to block a page (from a business job searching website) from appearing on my screen without me searching for it?

    How to block a page (from a business job searching website) from appearing on my screen without me searching for it?

    Look under:
    System preferences > Network > WiFi > ( Advanced ) > DNS
    System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > ( Advanced ) > DNS
    There should be two or more IP addresses there.
    Those addresses should be EXACTLY the ones your current ISP provided when you signed up for service. They do not start with 85 or 86 -- those are hacker sites.
    If you are in the US, you could also use OpenDNS:
    208.67.222.222

    Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book.
    As far as I can see I have placed pictures on all the pages. I admit that on some pages I could have placed 3 or 4 pictures but I chose to use ony one or two. Could that be the problem?

    Yes -
    Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book.
    The error seems pretty clear - you must have a photo in evey photo frame in order to place your order - so you must either change the layout (if you only want one photo on a page then use a layout with one photo) or put photos in the spots you have not filled

    when I click on purchase book, i get message "Incomplete Book. Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos." I have checked the page layouts several times and no missing seem to be missing. Any suggestion? page layouts and number of photos are consistent. several pages are identified as custom, as a result of captions added to several photos. I'm using a macpro and iphoto11.

    There is one or more missing photo - typically a page background requiring a photo that is hidden behind a layout with photos in it - look through every page for that - any page tha thas a grey background rather than color is a problem - and it ccan be behind a full page photo so you have to check the page background rather than just look at the page

  • Download an upgrade to Adobe Flash to my MAC Book Pro and get a message " Blocked Plu

    As mentioned above I have been trying to download an update to Adobe Flash  onto my MacBookPro, I get a message "Blocked Plug-in" and the update never downloads. I do not understand what the message means or what I need to do to get the download.

    It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
    For fixing IE or Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
    For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Restart the machine.
    Download and Re-install Flash Player.
    Restart the browser and check.

  • On my work pc only, I cannot click on links in the upper part of the screen while using firefox. This "dead area" affects only about the top 20% of the page, while below that I can click on all links.

    This does not happen on my laptop computer or on any other program my work computer runs.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I confront the message "blocked plug-in" on most included windows of safari browser internet sites on my old Macbook running snow leopard 10.6.8. Adobe flash updates are disconnected by Safari before they can be downloaded. Any cure for this?

    I don't know if this question has already posted but if not here is my problem: I repeatedly get a blank screen except for the error message "blocked plug in" when browsing in safari and trying to view web page included videos. Is this an Adobe flash player rejection? I keep getting Adobe flash player update messages but when I click download this is blocked by Safari or OS security. Any user-fix out there?

    Which Safari? Which Flash? I'm running Safari  5.1.10 (6534.59.10) w/Flash Player 13.0.0.214 and am not getting any of those messages. To get the latest Flash Player, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, download the latest version, and install it.
