Password and Display problem

I am having 2 major problems with my macbookpro -
1. it no longer recognizes my password when it is prompted for - example when i try to install a new software or driver. My lgin password has not changed and does work, but this password, which is the same, does not.
2. Too often when i turn on my computer the screen in fully dark. after a while i realized this can be overcome by adjusting the brightness using the shortcut keys F4. Otherwise there is no way of seeing anything on the display (actually...except for by holding a bright light in a specific angle next to the screen...)
any help would be greatly appreciated

You can check if there are entries in the password manager with an empty user name.<br />
Remove saved Password(s):
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
You can also check the exceptions.
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions
You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.<br />
You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

    When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.  I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name.  WIERD???

    There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

    I want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is valid.  I cannnot delete the account because "find my iphone" wants the password linked to this old account.  But when i go into the find my iphone app it is using my corect Apple ID.  How do i fix this?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • 2x iMac G5: Both Logic Board and Display Problems, Warrenty?

    Hello,
    Thank you for looking at this topic.
    I am Jeroen from The Netherlands and proud owner of several Mac Mini's, iMac's and Macbook's. I have 2times the iMac G5, a beautiful machine, but both not working since 2 months.
    I have two times the iMac G5 with iSight, both have logic board and display problems.
    The first iMac doenst start at all, black screen, i hear the chime, but nothing happening. After a minute i see one horizantal white stripe but nothing happens.
    The second iMac has weird horizantal stripes also, but the computer starts. It gives a finder and questionmark icon. After a while the fans go crazy.
    Both these symptons are widely known on the internet. I would like to get this fixed, but prices are crazy. And because this is a common issue I would expect to get this fixed for no costs. I have contacted several Apple resellers but they shown me high prices and bad services. On these forums I've saw people in the USA who get this fixed free of charge.
    Does anyone has any advice for me? I'll call apple USA this morning.
    Thankyou for ur time.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I know of no repair extension authorization which provides for the repair of either computer you describe beyond its original 12 month period of coverage. If either machine is covered by a warranty extension program provided by AppleCare, then the parts, labor or both required to replace the defective components may be offered at no charge to you. Final determination of eligibility is made at the part level by authorized Apple service providers or dealers and by the specific serial number of the machine submitted for service.
    Absent a warranty extension, however, it is quite likely that you will have to pay for the repairs is you elect to have them performed.

  • Timeline - Cannot Move Tracks and Display Problem

    I've created about a ten-minute timeline that I'd really prefer not to toss out because a lot of work went into creating parts of it and getting the timing right with the music, etc. When I first open the project in Premiere Elements, everything seems okay - my timeline plays with all transitions and I can scroll around in the timeline. However, I appear to have done something where whenever I click and drag to try to move a track, the timeline goes insane. I get a circle with a line through it for a cursor and a blank tooltip window, whether I try to drag the track horizontally or vertically. After that, while the timeline will still play, the timeline itself gets all wonky in its display, almost as if the video isn't refreshing on it. (It's kind of like the timeline has crashed.) I attached a screenshot of what it looks like. Whenever I move my cursor to the edge of the timeline, the timeline scrolls in that direction.
    I'm running Premiere Elements 7 Educational Version on  a Core 2 Duo laptop with 3GB RAM, an Intel 965 graphics chip (latest Intel drivers are installed), and Vista Business 32-bit. The clips are from a standard DV cam (not HD), and there are some PNG format stills and MP3 sounds mixed in there as well. There are three active A/V tracks. I think that's all the relevant information, but ask me if you need more.
    Can anyone tell me what I've done and/or how to fix this?

    Good morning every one!
    The bad news: As expected the problem does still occur. The good news: I was able to track it down to one clip in the timeline.
    To save others time, I will described what I have evaluated quite detailed in the following paragraphs...
    As it seemed to me that deactivating the Windows indexing service made the usage of PrE more stable I thought that maybe file locks would cause the trouble. So I verified this by opening the project in PrE, writing and executing a small Java application that puts an exclusive file lock on one of the files from the project and tried to move the according clip in the timeline. It worked without any problems and the known symptoms did not occur. So we can put aside the file locks.
    Afterwards I tried to reproduce the problem by playing around with the scene that caused problems last week. I tried by moving around the video clips and the problem did not occur. Then I remembered my statement I have made earlier, that the problems seemed to occur as I started to work with titles and music clips -- and bingo: I have three music clips in my "soundtrack" track and one of them seems to cause the whole trouble. After I have clicked on this specific music clip, the problem occurs and it is no longer possible to move anything in the timeline and the strange behaviour regarding the automatic scrolling when the cursor is at the left/right etch is activated.
    It was easily reproducable: Restart PrE, open my project, move a video clip to verify that moving clips works, click on the specific music clip and the problem occurs. I have tried this several times and each time the problem occured. When I clicked on one of my other two music clips everything was fine -- same for the video clips I tried. So in my case it seems to be this single clip.
    OK, what's specific regarding this clip: All my music files are placed on a share on my Windows home server (in contrast to the video footage which is located on the local HD). So I moved the "dangerous" music file to the local HD, changed the path to the file with a text editor directly in the PrE project file (which is a simple XML file) and started up PrE again. I verified that PrE takes the file from the local HD (server was down), but the problem did still occur. So it is not a network issue.
    The next specific thing is, that this music file is the only file in my project which is a .wma-file -- the others are .mp3-files. So I did three things:
    At first I downloaded the project file provided by SQFreak2 in this thread and checked whether he is also using .wma-files. The result: He does not use them.
    As the second thing I again changed my project file in the text editor: I changed the path of the music clip to some other .mp3-file. Afterwards I opened up PrE with that project file, used the playback to verify that the other music file is referenced by the clip instead of the original wma-file and then tried to move the clip -- again the symptoms occured.
    As the last step I created a new project, added the "problematic" wma-file, placed it on the "soundtrack" track and afterwards tried to move it. The result: No problems at all.
    So it neither seems to be a generic problem with wma-files nor does it seem to be a file-specific problem at all.
    Lets summarize the things from above: File locks do not cause any trouble. In my project a single audio clip seems to cause the problem. The problem seems to be caused by the clip and not the file referenced by the clip (no matter whether local or server based, wma or mp3, the problem occurs in every case).
    What I have learned? Well, I am not sure. But in the meanwhile I am quite sure, that it hasn't to do anything with hardware and drivers, but that we are dealing with a bug in PrE that occurs in specific project cirumstances.
    This morning I have got some additional ideas I would like to try to track the problem down (e.g. the problematic clip has a transition for a fade out in the end [when I did this I didn't knew, that a fade out could be easily achieved in the clip's properties] -- I will try to remove this one and look what will happen).
    P.S.: In one of my earlier posts I stated the assumption that the problem occurs as soon as I move the mouse cursor over the vertical scroll bar of the timeline -- but this is definitely not the case.

  • Passwords and images problem

    Firefox image problem. In Firefox 3.6.12, every time I save an image that's already displayed on my screen, I see "one active download" appear in the bottom right of Firefox's window and the same image is also listed in downloads. The problem is that Firefox doing that uses more bandwidth. How do I set Firefox so that when I save an image, instead of that image getting re-downloaded from where it's stored on the internet, it's copied from wherever Firefox has it stored to display it so Firefox doesn't use as much bandwidth? Tools/options/advanced/network/offline storage is set to 50mb.
    Firefox password problem. Tools/options/security/passwords has "remember passwords for sites" checked and there is nothing in my exceptions list. But Firefox keeps forgetting passwords, usually after restarting Firefox and or my whole system and on some sites, I don't even get asked "do you want to remember..." How do I fix this?
    I do have CCleaner and it's set to run at startup, but all the boxes for Firefox are unchecked, so it's not the cause of either problem.

    @cor-el
    OK, I'll give that extension a try and see what happens, thanx! :-)
    @venemovil
    I right click and either select "save image as" or if I want to save an image to more than one location, I select "view image" and then use ctrl+s. Both results in Firefox re-downloading the image as I described above. It happens on every site I visit.
    The password problem never happened before, but I will try disabling my extensions one at a time and see if it happens only whan a particular extension is turned on.
    This is a screenshot of the extensions I do have installed.
    http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/Moonbarker/Clipboard01.jpg
    I've also noticed that Firefox is forgetting what sites I've visited recently (I type in part of the url of sites I've visited sometimes as recently as a few hours ago and the entire url isn't in the suggested list) and I keep having to put the Fire FTP Button back in the toolbar (next to the home/stop/reload/back-forward buttons). That may be related to the pasword problem. I don't know.

  • Entourage and display problem

    Since the 10.4.4 update I have been having strange problems with Entourage (Microsoft Office email client).
    After the program has been running for a while (varies between a few minutes and a few hours) the "Hide" command doesn't work properly. When I "Hide" the program, the windows do not disappear, although the program menubar does hide and another application becomes "active."
    Once switching back to Entourage, certain window elements no longer display correctly. Different buttons (i.e. "Send" the drop down menu for the from address on replies, etc.) are "greyed out" although some do work in this greyed out state.
    I wasn't sure where else to post this question. Searching on google and this forum doesn't seem to reveal anyone else with the same problem. Any ideas?
    --Joe

    The fact Excel is affected too, sounds to me
    somewhere along the line you either accidently moved
    a file or deleted or renamed one or a few of
    Microsoft Office's documents. My suggestion is
    this.
    That was my original thought. As mentioned, I already completely removed and re-installed Office. On the first run of Excel (both before and after a "Fix Permissions) the problem was there. Entourage doesn't exhibit the problem immediately, but it did come back in a short time. If something is moved or corrupted, it is not something that the Office installer will fix or replace.
    Backup all your data. Note, Microsoft Entourage
    stores its data in your Home -> Documents ->
    Microsoft User data folder.
    Run the office uninstaller found in your Office
    application folder.
    Reinstall Office.
    The hardware test is found on your restore disks that
    came with your Mac and is bootable much the same way
    the Powerbook hardware test volume is:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86287
    I am traveling now, but will give the hardware test a try when I get home and have access to the boot CD.
    Thanks.

  • Radio boxes and display problems

    Using InDesign CS6 to create radio buttons in my document, so that it shows a "tick" instead of a "circle" on Windows 7 OS, then exporting the document as an Interactive PDF to Acrobat Pro X.
    Once the PDF is created, on my machine the radio boxes display correctly as square boxes, empty by default, you select one box, and a "tick" appears.
    However, on the other Windows 7, Windows XP and Mac OSX (10.6.8) machines, the radio boxes display as circular selection boxes, empty by default, and when selected, it shows a "circle".
    The "ticks" in the Indesign file are pathed objects, and not fonts being embedded, so that should not be a problem.
    All the preference settings on all the machines are the same default settings as first installed.
    The problem occurs in Acrobat Pro 9, X and Acrobat Reader X.
    If you could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards

    Just to add that when the page is printed (from any of the machines we have tested), it prints the "ticks".

  • Dimmer and display problems

    Meant to post my question here:
    Lately my ibook dimmer has been going spastic. That's the best way i can describe it. I'll have it on the highest setting and it's fine, then i'll move the ibook like one inch and the dimmer goes spastic, goes to the lowest setting and the screen goes black. Also the display goes crazy - i'll have a Safari window open and all of a sudden the window will move up and down or change the page, sometimes at the same time as the dimmer going crazy.
    Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I should fix it?
    Thanks.

    Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test? It may not show anything, but if you do get an error code, it could point the way to where the problem is.
    Good luck!

  • Nokia Lumia 800 - Screen and display problems

    I'm having problems with the display on my phone, it has coloured lines going horizontally through it, such as those in the following photograph:
    http://modmyi.com/attachments/forums/general-iphone-chat/39931d1209070920-phone-screen-dead-pixel-ex...
    And the screen itself is coming away from the actual body of the phone, it looks as if it is about to fall off from the top.
    I've only had this phone for about 3 months, so what do you think could be causing this issue, and is it covered by my warranty?
    Thank you

    It would be pointless speculating on the cause of this. Best thing for you to do at this stage is to present it to your local Nokia Care Point and see if they see it as a manufacturing defect or misuse. Manufacturing defects should be covered under warranty.

    I have to verify my iCloud password every day through forgot.com using the memorable questions.
