Screen and projector problems

This morning while using a projector I have used before only the screensaver would project. Things would appear normally on the MacAir screen but only the screensaver would appear through the projector. It is a screensaver I have had for a long time and a projector I have used before. I tried all my usual approaches to fixing the problem but nothing worked. I am guessing I have accidently changed a setting somewhere but I don't know where.

Hello Anyx1582,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The following link has an overview of using multiple displays with OS X Mavericks. Along the bottom of the article under "More" is also information on how to arrange your displays. The way you described it, sounds like the displays were separate rather than mirrored.

Take care,

Black screen and applications problem on iPhone 4S after upgrading to iOS6

I've upgraded my iphone 4s to the iOS6, all the applications suddenly stops while I am working on it, then the phone shows a black screen and after some seconds shows the main menu screen. When I open the application again after that, things I was doing were lost. Even if I am making a call, the black screen appears, the call is muted to me for a while until when the phone shows me the main screen again and I have to tap to the call. If I am playing music, suddenly the phone shows the black screen and stops the playback, after of it, I try to recover my playback but there is no playback. And happens with everything: facebook, mails, sms, maps, among others. When I was using the iOS 5.1.1. phone was working well.

i looked on the right there is no solution to my problem.i charge my phone to 100% after 2 hours with no usage at all of the phone with 3G off with wifi off with all applications shut down all notifications and locations off battery goes down to 50% when it was running on the older ios never had this problem in my iphone.when will this problem solved

Computer, black Screen and reboot problem

I have problems with my computer black screening and rebooting randomly recently. Tried a few things like downgrading the nvidia drivers and only using one monitorscreen.
I was using version 347.52 but downgraded to 344.11 but still got the problem
The times this happens can be anytime but happens most often while i'm playing games and at the moment i'm only playing on normal graphics while my graphics card should be well good enough to handle ultra graphics.
I used this program "WhoCrashed" and got this crash report:

Blue Screen and Sound Problems, In Desperate Need of Assistance

About a week and a half ago, my computer officially stopped showing anything on the display when I tried to start it up. It had been doing it on and off for a long time, but I would eventually get it to display. Not this time...
My husband and I took our 30" Cinema Display and G5 tower to the iStore. The display was tested, and it worked fine. The associate said the problem was the video card.
After doing much research, I decided upon the flashed GeForce 7800 GS, per the suggestions of japamac on this forum. After I received and installed it, the display worked again and everything seemed great! It came with a CD with a patch on it, saying it was for *10.4.9 or later*, so I installed the patch and ran the permissions command. I had to go on a business trip immediately as the permissions command was running, so I left the computer to do it's thing, knowing it would sleep after a while.
When I got back home from my trip, I eagerly hopped on my computer. I attempted to awake it from sleep, however it froze. I was not able to tell if the permissions command ever finished completely.
I restarted the computer and everything seemed fine. A few hours later, my husband hopped on the computer about to test the new card on a game, but it froze before he could do anything. We restarted the computer, and that's when the blue screen issue started.
I tried resetting the PRAM, starting it up on the install disc (which didn't work), I tried holding down the S key (which also didn't work), and I tried holding down shift for Safe Boot.
The Safe Boot works, in fact I'm on my G5 right now. I did the permissions command again, thinking that it must've not ran all of the way and the permissions were broken. When it finished it gave me a massive list of "permissions differ"s with 10 "Warning: SUID file "____" has been modified and will not be repaired" messages at the end.
I contacted the seller on ebay, who ended up telling me the patch was only for Tiger, despite the file saying "or later". I really thought I messed up the permissions badly from that and tried running the permissions repair, but that did not help.
Thinking I had no other choice, I backed everything up and I reinstalled Leopard (choosing to Archive). After it finished reinstalling, the computer restarted and it booted up normally. I thought my problem was solved! However, once I let it sleep and came back later, it was frozen. I restarted and had the blue screen problem all over again, to my disappointment.
I tried restarting, the PRAM, the permissions (which did not list those SUID warnings anymore)... There was once that I restarted and it gave me the blue screen, I tabbed twice, hit enter, and entered my password though I couldn't see anything. I heard the computer moving like it was logging in. I pushed the power button on my display, and magically the screen displayed my desktop with the "Are you sure you want to put your computer to sleep?" window.
However, this only happened once, and afterward I noticed an issue when I tried to wake the computer from sleep. It would try to wake up, then go back to sleep, try to wake up, go back to sleep... So I contacted the ebay seller again, explaining what had happened and that it made me think it is an issue with the card itself, not permissions. (Fearing that if it is permissions, I would have to reinstall the OS again, but choose to erase the disk this time.) I asked if the seller knew anything about this.
The seller contacted me back saying, "Hello again, yes, wake from sleep is a common issue of many modified cards for Mac , so you better turn it off if you are not use it, its better for both the video card and power supply of your G5,
hope you understand about it , thanks". Well, that really would have been nice to know in advance... but regardless, the more important issue is the blue screen on startup.
On top of all of this, when I tried to watch a video tonight I noticed the sound was not working. I made sure it wasn't muted, I made sure the optical cable was connected, nothing. I restarted, nothing. I did not have any problems whatsoever with the sound before this, and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the card (I wouldn't think so), or that something needs to be reinstalled since I reinstalled the OS. The System Prefs > Sound, Is not finding any devices.
I've restarted the computer so many times since the initial failing of the video card, I really hope all of the restarting hasn't damaged anything. As old as my Mac is, it's been working perfectly normally until the graphics card went out. After that, it's seemed like everything is falling apart. Thank you for reading my long history of difficulties, and I hope someone (maybe japamac?) can help me!

Hi-
I understand why you would suspect the latest hardware addition, and the conflicting/misunderstood advice given by the seller isn't helping.
I don't know of any cards that have "known" issues with sleep from the flashed realm.
Of the 10 different makes and models that I use or have used, flashed by myself or others, I have never seen an issue with sleep.
This includes 2 different Geforce 7800 GS cards.
The most common reason for a blue screen at boot is an incompatible Login or Startup item.
These are disabled during a Safe Mode boot.
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/startupitems.html
As for the Geforce 7800 GS, there was a patch for OS 10.4.9 only. This was to allow for the proper reporting and use of the appropriate OpenGL engine.
After 10.4.11, and in Leopard, the OpenGL engine is properly selected for the card.
Since this is simply a reporting issue, and not a performance issue, the patch is not a mandatory thing.
There is an issue with the ROMs used in some Geforce cards that causes a boot delay (a blue screen) for up to 6 minutes.
Most guys don't use those ROMs anymore, but I guess that someone may not have bothered to get the new ROM.
Removing the AppleHWSensor.kext from /System/Library/Extensions will correct this issue.
This, however, is historically a G4 issue only.
There are a couple possible scenarios that I think may apply to you:
1- The card is overheating, thus the occasional success or Safe mode only boots.
Check that the fan is spinning.
2- The auxiliary power is not connected, or has a poor connection.
Sometimes the pins on a Molex adapter (the female side) are so tight that they push out, rather than allowing the male pin in.
Conversely, a stretched out female pin would not properly contact the male pins of the graphics card.
Double check connections at the optical drive and at the graphics card.
While inside, reseat the graphics card.
3- If the card was prepared for use in a G4 by cutting the traces of pins #3 and #11, this can cause problems in the G5.
Most cards work fine, but some Geforce cards complain.
As well, if the pins were taped, the tape should be removed for use in a G5.
http://themacelite.wikidot.com/pins-3-and-11
If the traces are cut, return the card.
If the pins are taped, remove the tape.

HP Touchsmart 600 PC blue screen and video problems

Hi,
Just a quick bit about me before I get started. I am A+, Network+ and Security+ certified and have been working on computers for years. But this time I've run into something I haven't been able to diagnose and my friend doesn't want to format and reinstall windows on the machine. I've been working on a friends computer and its a HP Touchsmart 600 with Win 7 64bit. The biggest issue he is having is every few days it blue screens. The latest one was caused by ntoskrnl.exe ( nt+8f1b2 ). The majority of the blue screens have been ntoskrnl. I posted all the minidump files over on another forum and it was suggested Norton was causing the problems so I removed it but it hasn't solved the issue.
The other issue he is having is every now and then the screen gets blurry. He had been resetting the computer to fix this and I assumed it was a hardware problem. But it happened to me while I was looking at it last week and right after that I got a UAC control box that popped up for a program I had been installing and it was clear and when I clicked allow the entire screen cleared up and was just fine. I've updated all drivers on the machine and it has all the lastest windows updates. It doesn't have the latest touch screen software that is out. I believe it is version 4.0? He has the 3.0 version and he doesn't use the computer as a touch screen he uses a mouse and keyboard.
Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Dan

Hello Alaric_Eisen:
Shut down your computer. Or just disconnect the power cord. Reconnect power cord if you used that method. Turn on computer and holp down on F-11 key this is your full recovery method. Your computer should start a full recovery to factory settings. If this fails then you know the hard drive is shot or memory chips are damaged. Then take your computer in for repairs. Good Luck I hope the full recovery does the trick. Oh it will tell you if recovery fails another screen will display with more options just click on dynastic if it is your hard drive massaged will be hard drive not excist. Means hard drive is not being detected. Send computer in for replacement of parts.

Nokia 5800 [ Screen and phone problems]

I got a problem with my nokia 5800 screen,
sometimes when my brightness is bellow 80% 2-3 flikering lines apear wherever i am ( home screen, watching a video, browser,call someone etc.)
when brightness is at 80% its normal always( maybe of the high brightness i may not see the lines)
however this is annoying and i want to know if i can do anything about it !
on top of that my phones shuts down suddenly on its own randomly!
the phone is functioning well running app without any problem and watching videos !
skype

The 5800 is getting on in years now so it's definitely a hardware issue your facing. Your best bet is to visit a Nokia Care Point and see if it's worth the cost of repair otherwise you'd be better off getting a new phone.

My 808 got screen and camera problems. I need new ...

My 808 got so many problem..the camera did not working well and the screen has problem..
The camera problem when recording the video, i used to use touch to focus, but the when listen to the video the weird sound was produced while i focused on something..the screen has problem when looked at the dark pictures especially on grey colour...it was not the noises but it the screen problem..
Please Nokia i need new replacement..i just used this phone, and dissapointed with this..
I bought this phone for the camera, if the camera didn't working well, what the point i bought this phone..
Please one again Nokia, I NEED THE NEW REPLACEMENT..

@Rafi808
Have you installed any third party applications to account for the sound of the continuous auto focus (CAF) mechanism?
You probably need to visit Nokia Care facility so that device can be reset to "factory settings" and completely re-install device software, before pointing towards hardware issue with camera module itself.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Login screen and scrolling problem

Macbook Pro 15" i7 from April 2010 here. Recently installed Lion, and I'm having 2 problems that I can't seem to find an explanation to:
1) Login screen
     At the login screen, the screen brightness slowly goes down until it shuts off completely, then slowly comes back to life.
     This repeats every 15-20 seconds.
2) Scrollpad issue
     While scrolling up and down in my browser, it suddenly, unexpectedly registers a two-finger left/right swipe and the browser goes 'Back'.
     I've -never- had this problem, thats why I doubt its my technique.
I'd appreciate it very much if anyone could shed some light onto these problems.

Touch screen and swipe problems on brand new iPhone 5S

I brought it to the Apple store and they restored it. It started happening again. So the Apple store gave me a new phone, but used the same microchip. Today, I couldn't tap out of voice messages. I tapped "recents" - nothing. I tapped "contacts"- nothing. I could go into other apps and use them- just not in the phone part. Sometimes, it happens when I text- I can't text. I tap and tap. Nothing. And sometimes I can't swipe to answer an incoming phone call. It's very frustrating. Does anyone have any advice?

Same problem in the middle left side of my 5s. I can see the screen moving up and down if I look from the side, and it clicks when it pops back into place.
I took it to the apple store in tysons corner, va today. The girl genius saw the issue and took my phone in the back to try setting the screen again. When she brought it back the phone was still doing the exact same thing but she suddenly claimed she couldn't see/hear it anymore even though it is very noticable. Another genius pretended not to notice it too. I ended up just leaving and will try a different store.
Adding this video (not mine) about an iPhone 5. It captures the issue perfectly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgl7POLmKRc

Macbook Pro Screen and Graphics Problems

I just bought a macbook pro 15" 2.53 GHz model today. I haven't even had it 12 hours and am having problems. First when I tried the screen saver it messes up, adds big squares where there aren't supposed to be any. So I just tried playing The Sims 3 to test the graphics and that played fine. Now as I am typing this the screen keeps flashing blue. Either making it seem like everything is being highlighted or going all blue for a split second.
What is going on?
I'm going back to the Apple Store tomorrow, this is not okay.

Make sure to make an appointment if you want to be seen fairly quickly. They should be able to swap you out for a new one right away.

The Green Screen and Video Problems

Hello,
I've read through the issues and answers on this topic but some of the things are working and some not. For isntance, I was able to resolve one of my issues with some other fixes I had found through general online forums for the "green" screen which plays with only audio. It seems to be working for me on you tube but not on Facebook anymore alhtough Facebook videos worked the first time around when I rebooted.
What I did was go into my internet options and under accelerated graphics I ticked use software rendering instead of...
and under the security tab I ticked enable 64 bit processes in enhanced protected... Should the Enhanced protected mode be enabled as well then? Should I tick that option.
I also treid to do what the answers recommended...such as right clicking on the video in Facebook when it is playing and while I do get a pop up I get settings options or global settings and adobe flash player info...clicking on settings gives me options but none for the "display", only for my microphone, camera and storage. If I click on global settings, it takes me to flash player help. And last option I get my version of Adobe info, which is version 13.00.214. So no option to untick disable accelerated graphics cause I think I've done this in control panel already.
But now why it is working with youtube and not with Facebook videos I also tried to play some home videos like wmv files and other video files in my windows media flash player and there I get a black screen but still audio plays.
My computer is an HP Pavillion Notebook PC and it came with Windows 8.1 already installed. My Graphics Display adapter is an AMD Radeon R5 Graphics Card.
So what the heck do I do now. Should I install newer Adode Player? Even when unticking the accelerated graphis option, this is really not a solution to the deeper problem and issue, because then it slows down your graphics?
My computer is not even a week old and I hate having to always download fixes and constant updates and spend hours researching and trying to fix a problem that really should not occur to begin with. Why are there so many glitches with Windows? Is this a problem related with windows updates as well. Active X controls? Compatibility isuses with 64 bit processes. Should I use Firefox. I did that with my old HP which finally kicked the bucket and that is why I had to buy a new one. I had to replace my battery before even a year and my warranty battery did not last that long either and then the thing finally overheated and died. But I had lots of similar things happen before with last HP laptop so is it Windows or is it HP or is it browsers, players?
I am sorry if I am unloading on you...I don't mean too but it is just soooo frustrating as a consumer to have to always go through these kinds of things. I use my laptop for self employment so please help!!!!!
Thanks for letting me vent.. I would appreciate your help, thank you.

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I am sorry you have experience any issues. I have looked into your issue with the Video issues.
Have you uninstalled Internet Explorer?
Have you tried Google Chrome?
It already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available. Adobe are on version 15. Here is a spot to update. This does have a link to Google Chrome as well.
Here is a link to common Flashplayer issues.
I would try a system restore as this would undo any changes that might have happened with a Microsoft update. Sometimes they have not finished or been installed on the Notebook.
Hope this helps you.

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.

6300 - blanks to white screen and other problems

Okay, it's my first post here. I've had a 6300 for about a year, and lately (in the last 24 hours) it's developed a serious problem. I cannot access text messages at all ("Message storage memory not ready"), nor my gallery. If I turn it on and leave it for a while, even if it's in the middle of something like a call, it will eventually drop to a blank screen from which nothing works (even the power button), or possibly a "please enter time/date" screen which has the same problem of nothing responding. The only way to turn the phone off after this is to remove the battery, but subsequently turning it back on again is difficult, working about 50% of the time (the other 50% being a blank screen).
If a reset is essential, I'd like a way to do so without losing any messages (particularly those sent since the problem started, since I haven't been able to access them yet), but I understand if this is not possible.
I've tried restoring factory settings, but it often reverts to this white screen before that finishes, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!

how many messages have you got in the phone
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

IMac G5 Screen and Startup Problems!

I purchased my iMac G5 in August 2005. I have had it for 4 years now and have never had problems with it. Last week, while the screen saver came on, the computer suddenly froze. I shut it down manually by holding the back button and turned it back on. The fans run loud and fast and the screen remains blue. It doesn't load to the home screen. I have restarted it, shut it down numerous times and nothing happens. The screen display glitches and makes weird, distorted color patterns. It doesn't respond at all. It does this each time. My computer seems like it broke! I have a lot of pictures, music, and important files on this computer and cannot access them at all! My warranty has expired also. Need help!!!!

Mine is doing almost exactly the same thing, and it also froze the first time while the screen saver was on. I suspected a software issue, and have gone so far as to wipe the hard drive (erase, plus zero all blocks w/disk utility), and reinstall the OS fresh and it still does it. The hang occurs just as I get to the blue startup screen, but before the "Loading Mac OS X" box & progress bar shows up. I also get the display glitches from time to time, but not all the time.
The one small bit of relief is that I am able to consistently get the machine to boot completely in safe mode, but not "normally." Any advice on what may be going on here?
To College Kid: try starting up your iMac in safe mode - hold down shift until the "gear" starts rotating under the Apple logo on the startup screen. That was how I was able to get mine started up to get the data off before I wiped the drive.
