Portions of the screen do not refresh

Screen is white after screen saver goes to sleep. Desktop does not refresh when keyboard is used to wake. launching an app will show in the window of the app with rest of desktop still white. started happening after OSX update.

Resetting the PRAM didn't fix it.
I believe the problem lies in the screen saver that is active when the screen sleeps. I was using a slideshow screen saver and had the white screen problem...once I changed to a generic screen saver such as flurry, the problem went away. Try that and report back here.
Obviously the OS is not freeing up the video memory used by the slideshow. I would venture to say the problem is a perfect storm of the particular video card, processor and a slideshow screen saver.

Login Window: Screen does not refresh correctly after waking 10.7.2 iMac and MacBook.

I have a client who brought to my attention that when we wakes his iMac and MacBook after the screen dims or sleeps at login screen, that sometimes the screen does not refresh correctly and you must use the cursor to basically "clear the screen." I have witnessed this myself and elimiated all third party products and this still happens. I am starting to believe that is is a bug in 10.7.2. Has anyone witnessed this or have any suggestions on how to remedy? Thank you.

Thanks lynque. It turns out I did need a keychain repair, but that didn't fix the problem. I probably should have done this earlier, but I ended up unplugging all peripherals (2 firewire + 3 USB) then powered up without issue.
So I shut down, plugged in one at a time, and ran into the problem again after plugging in an external hard drive (WD My Book Essential). I repaired with disk utility, but the problem remained.
I then rebuilt the partitions with Disk Warrior, and now everything seems to work....

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature.

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature. What is the issue?

It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
Cheers.

Screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh

Many people in the company are experiencing the odd screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh to show the updated result in corresponding cell formulas.
Microsoft have issued a hotfix to fix the issue for Excel 2003 as shown. Microsoft released a hotfix for this problem (<a href="advisory?ID=978908">KB978908</a>). Display memory tends to pick up data from hidden sheets and pastes it
into the active screen. No impact on the file. This occurs when protecting and unprotecting worksheets in VBA. I also suspect that enabling and disabling screen refresh contributes to this problem. In any case there is a fix, albeit with the following disclaimer:
As of yet I have not been able to find a fix for this for office 2010 and 2013, Any suggestions would be great.

Hi,
Based on your description, Excel does not show the text strings when you typing. It may be caused by the cell format, if we set the cell format as ";;;" in custom format, it will not display the text that you typed.
And the issue may be caused by the third-party input method, there are some compatibility issue between them.
If the issue still exits, please try the following methods
Verify/install the latest updates
Repair your Office program

Capturing a portion of the screen with w/ com+sft+3

Last night while doing one of the screen captures I do all the time, I suddenly got a little cross hair icon and found I was able to select a portion of the screen to capture. I had never seen this before and certainly didn't do anything different than I usually do (at least not knowingly). I did a few times and it was great. This morning I tried to recreate the ability but am unable to. Does anyone know what may have allowed this? I can't think why it would do that out of nowhere. It's a nice feature and would like to be able to use it again.

Does anyone want to make me feel more silly by telling me that the feature has been there for years and years? =)Sure. I believe it's been there since OS 7 or OS 8.

AppleScript to map wacom tablet to portion of the screen area?

Other Wacom models have options in the preferences to map a portion of the screen area but the Cintiq does not. How can I accomplish this with AppleScript?
tell application "TabletDriver"
          set tabletNumber to 1
          set transducerNumber to 1
          set screenNumber to 2
          set XDIM to 19200
          set YDIM to 12000
          try
-- X dimension
                    set XDIM to X dimension of tablet tabletNumber
          end try
          try
-- Y dimension
                    set YDIM to Y dimension of tablet tabletNumber
          end try
          set SZ to rectangle of tablet tabletNumber as list

I am new to photoshop but jumped ahead and bought a Wacom Tablet for Christmas. Since Christmas, I have read all of these different posts about how the Wacom and Mac don't really "play well together". I am disappointed, but hoping someone may have some encouraging news. I have a macbook pro 13" - 2009 model but with most updated OS. I do NOT have Maverick!
My question....should I even take the Wacom tablet out of the box or should I just send it back to B & H photo? I have worked on a mac for over 30 years, but still do not feel computer savy enough to manage the mess (that it could be) of connecting the Wacom to my macbook pro. Anyone have any suggestions?

How to lock portions of the screen

I'm new to Contribute, having just downloaded a trial
version. The software seems geared toward the user who will be
making modifications to websites, not an administrator. How do you,
as an administrator/site designer, lock certain portions of the
screen so that users can't fiddle with them? Does this only work
with Dreamweaver templates?
The sites I design do NOT live on a server of mine. Each
customer finds their own host, so I cannot control access that way.
I also build very basic, barebones sites using tables and
external style sheets, and do all of my HTML coding from scratch. I
do not use Dreamweaver or any other WYSIWYG HTML packages, so I
don't work with templates. Can such locks be implemented using my
style of site design?
Thanks for any info. I searched the Adobe site but couldn't
find an answer.

You could try faking a Dreamweaver template by copying DW
template tags (i.e. HTML comments) into your source pages. But DW
is a great page and site building tool and you can always try a
trial version of it.

You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.

The itunes window on my desktop fails to display the bottom most portion of the screen unless I go into full screen mode. Why?

As a follow up to provide more detailed information.
I have a MacBook as well running 10.6.8.
When I open itunes, the window I expect to come up does. It has a scroll that allows me to view all of my playlists, as well as hit the new playlist icon at the bottom of the screen, etc.
On my Macbook Pro running 10.7.4, when I open itunes, there's no scroll bar, no icons at the bottom most portion of the screen. The only way that I can see the new playlist icon AND be able to view/scroll through all of my playlists is to enter full screen mode....very inconvenient as the window is now fixed (can't be moved out of the way) without exiting full screen mode.
I'm a multi-tasker...rearranging windows, making one application active while another moves into the background, is my typical work situation.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
Michael

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

The Finder is not refreshing the icon thumbnail after copying

The Finder is not refreshing the icon thumbnail after copying.
I tried copying a couple of foders from the internal HD to a USB drive and the resulting icons kept an empty progress...
WHY????

Hello,
It looks like possibly a Permissions problem... the X above the folder.
In Finder do a Get Info on that drive, or the folders on that drive that you're trying to copy to.
Úgy néz ki, mint esetleg egy Engedélyek probléma ... X felett a mappát.
A kereső nem egy Get Info a meghajtón, vagy a mappákat a meghajtón, hogy akarsz másolni.

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. :(

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.

There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
Best of luck.
