Screen icons all over the place after wake up?

I have found recently that sometimes after I wake my screen up after sleep that the dock is missing and my apps are all over the place and i have no home screen anymore?! Has anyone else come across this? I also found that sometimes my screen goes bright white and nothing seems to fix it apart from resetting it by holding down the home button and the screen off button. Would love to find out if this is simply a few bugs in the software and not a glitch in the phone! Thanks

Webpage rendering images all over the place after 8.0.X

Whenever I open a web link from the financial 'stock' application, it loads normally with small fonts as usual but when double-tabbed to magnify to full screen, two things will occur:
1. the keyboard pops up which is very annoying
2. images rendered all over the place in magnified full-screen mode.
Just updated to 8.0.2 and problem still persists.

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Why is my page or connection jumping all over the place after my recent update to firefox 5.0

I came back from a week away and when I got on the internet firefox had updated to 5.0 and ever since then my pages just jump all over the place Why?

Hi Aish,
I have found the problem, but not sure where to find the solution as I'm pretty new to Adobe products.
I built another site to see if I had the same problem, this time I made it shorter to see if the length was the problem. I put in some elements and 'assets', added parallax scroll key frames, left out pretty much most other things to see if I could pin the problem down. I found that I had the exact same problem.
In the Muse preview it scrolls with the mouse like a dream when I grab the scroll bar and drag it down. But when I preview in business catalyst, export HTML or preview in browser, it goes crazy and won't let me get to the bottom. Further to that, when you scroll back to the top, everything is out of place and gets worse every time you scroll down and back to the top.
I have a touch screen computer and tried to scroll the screen with my finger rather than dragging the scroll bar down with the mouse. The website works like a dream when I scroll with my finger, even when I scroll back to the top everything stays in place and the whole site works lovely! I then tried the other, long website to see if this was the same case and it was exactly the same case. It scrolls with a finger like a dream, but has a fit when you drag down the scroll bar with a mouse.
My next question would be could I somehow disable some kind of touch scroll option in only the desktop version of the site, but leave it active in mobile and tablet sites? If I can do this can you please advise me on how to deactivate it, I think that should solve the problem.
Can you please get back to me with an answer to this? I would be very greatful!
Marc.

Icons all over the place

Are there any permanent settings in Macbook Pro that I can apply to the icons on all my folders so they are lined up? (By the way, I don't want this to happen to my Desktop icons)
Everytime I open a folder, the icons are all over the place even though I went to "Keep Arranged Bar" option and fixed it. Also, it keeps changing the Grid Spacing all the way to the max and it's extremely annoying to having to redo for every single folder. Help would be much appreciate it.

Screen moves all over the place

Out of no where my screen now moves all over the place. The width has become shorter and the height as become much larger. I have a magic mouse when I move it to the left the screen moves to the right and verse a versa. I have a early 2008 macpro 3.1, 6gb memory, 2.8 ghz and nvidia geforce 8800 gt 512mb. Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening, please help.
Much Appreciated
Thank You

You have probably accidentally turned on Zoom, a feature in Universal Access. I did this to myself yesterday.
The usual solution is to enter
System Preferences > Universal Access ... pane and shut it off. But I found mine was not enabled, so I could not just turn it off.
I had to enable it, use the keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and then all the way out, then shut it off. That cured it.

HT203301 iPhone 4S compass 180° out and other times all over the place after ios7 update. Anybody else had this?

Since updating to iOS 7 the compass on my iPhone 4S is all over the place but mainly 180° out tried calibrating rebooting etc etc and no difference.!

Nope, i generally hate iTunes for it being annoying and incredibly "damaging" to the computer (slows my computer down a shitload when booting atleast), so I've avoided it at any costs till now. Shame apple "forces" us to use their more "******" apps in order to "guard" ourselves against stuff like this... I'll survive, the most important pics are on facebook, and the apps and contacts I can easily replace. For my part Apple has one life less when it comes to me buying another product from them.
Thanks for all the replys , i appreciate a community like this!

Why does my audio jump all over the place after detaching it

in iMovie HD you could extract audio then work with clips over it, in 09 I can't do anything. I extract/or detach the audio, but it is still attached or something. if you put a clip in the project widow the whole thing moves over, not just the video. So I saw the tutorials and they said you can replace a clip. but no window opens up over the clip??? any help

After detaching audio, it is easy to drag the audio to some other place in your project.
If you want to put clip A on top of a portion of clip B while keeping the audio from clip B, this is easily done. It is called a cutaway in iMovie 09.
First go into iMovie Preferences and turn on the advanced tools.
Select clip A so that it has a yellow border around it. This can be from the Event or from the Project.
Now drag clip A and drop it on Clip B at the point where you want the cutaway to begin.
A popup menu will come up. Select "CutAway"
You are done, but you can fine tune it if you like.

Submenus all over the place after burning dvd

When I burn a dvd of a project, all the menu's are in the correct order and alligned. When I burn a dvd and check it on my stand alone dvd-player, the menu's are no longer properly aligned with eachother.
Anyone any ideas what causes this? Is this caused by the theme I'm using? I've heard about corrupted theme's and the influence of using music in a theme on the layout of the dvd.
thanks for any advice!

Do you have the View TV Safe Area enabled to make sure non of the links extend outside of that area? What theme are you using? Are these text links?
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
This way you can check the alignment of the links before burning to disk.
NOTE: the order of highlighting the links by the DVD player remote is in the order that the links were added to the menu. If the links were moved and reordered that order can be pretty convoluted when using the DVD remote (or commonly known a the "clicker" to real men).

My new apple ipad 2 screen jumping all over the place and adding extra letters to stuff

My ipad won't let me sign into my itunes account because it keeps adding extra letters to my username and password making them invalid also when I try to use apps it jumps between screens and loads different apps and pages by its self.

Resetting, rebooting, same thing really. Hold down the home key (the circular one on the bottom front) and the sleep key (the power button on the upper right edge) together for about 20 seconds. You'll see the screen go black then a silver apple. Once you see the silver apple, release the buttons and let it reboot. See if that helps.

Music library after data recovery - ID3 tags all over the place

Hi,
For a short time there i was using my external drive as my music library, while i sorted enough space ot run it from C:
However, that didn't last long and i was asked if i wanted to reformat the drive.
Using Easeus I was able to recover the mp3s. But they're all over the place i.e songs labelled as one thing will be something else, about 70% of the time. Also some songs randomly chnage to others.
Is there any method i can use to resolve any of this, without re-doing my entire collection?
thanks for any suggestions
matt

The best option is to recover from backup, but I guess you don't have one. You can also recover from an iPod if you have one:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
Failing that, are you certain that the tags are wrong in the actual files, the tags are part of the file, so I am surprised if they were changed if you were able to recover the files successfully. It is hard to see how they could be messed up if the file is OK unless something else messed with them.
I am afraid you have a lot of work ahead of you. You might be able to use a tag editor to get tags from the internet - MP3 tag is an example, but I think the tracks need to be arranged into CDs for this to work.
There is also something called PicardTagger which is supposed to use the audio footprint of the file to identify it, but I have no experience with it myself.

Battery all over the place

I have a three month old MBP. I often browse the forums to inform myself on what's up before it happens to me. I found out about the battery update that way, and did it. I read about the possible problems that may occur, but I am not sure my problem fits - or if it even is a problem.
My battery used to last for a really long time - 4 to 5 hrs. Now it doesn't. I usually only use my MBP for surfing and occasionally downloading music or movies from itunes (haven't done that since the bat. update tho).
After experiencing shorter and shorter up time, I decided to really keep an eye on it this morning. Last night I got the message that it was running on reserve power, (and I was too) so I plugged the power cord in and shut it down for the night. This morning I unhooked the power, started it up and the time left read 5:32 for about a second or two and then read 2:32. I used it for a few minutes, walked away - the display went to sleep - I woke it up and it read 4:50. After that I let the display sleep several times and every time I woke it up I got a different reading - all over the place. 6:xx - 3:xx -4:xx and so on. I then decided to browse this discussion area and couldn't find exactly this scenario. I have been on for about 15 minutes and the time has stayed within a range of 3:05 to 2:42. I am going to let it go into full sleep and come back to finish up this post. Oh...by the way:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5189
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 4531
Amperage (mA): -1494
Voltage (mV): 11967
Cycle Count: 37
I'm back. Time left reads 2:22 - seems normal enough for being gone about 20 minutes. Power readings:
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5188
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 3695
Amperage (mA): -1522
Voltage (mV): 11796
Cycle Count: 37
But where has my battery life gone? I guess what it says now is a true reading, but since I have only had the computer unplugged from the power for about 1.5 hours, and it has been used for only about 25 minutes, isn't this a short period of life? It used to sit practically all day on battery power only being used once in a while. I am going on vacation in two weeks and I don't think this battery will even get me through one dvd movie on the plane - on a three month old computer! Any thoughts?
sj

Sarah,
The two cruical numbers for the estimate of the time remaining are the remaining capacity and amperage. If you divide capacity by amperage you will get the time estimate.
These values update relatively slowly - about every minute or so. This can lead to weird values when your computer changes its activity quickly.
Thus, right after you wake the computer up or reactivate the screen it is likely that the amperage will be low (because it doesn't use much power in sleep mode or with the screen off) and the time estimate will be high. Similarly, just after you unplug the computer the amperage estimate will be low (because it is just the amperage drawn from the battery). I have seen estimates of over 200 hours right after I unplug the AC. But as soon as it updates it all sorts itself out.
Your battery seems to be behaving normally and 5200mAh seems about right for a 15" MBP battery. They start at around 5500mAh and decline from there. Apple suggests that you should get around 300 cycles before it drops below 80% of initial capacity (4400mAh for the 15" MBP battery).
The number one hint for getting longer life out of your MacBook is to turn the brightness of the screen down. That is typically the biggest drain on the battery.

HT1926 I was prompted to install iTunes 11.1.4 this morning. It failed (first time EVER) with the comment that 'msvcr80.dll' was not available. Upon searching for that .dll in my computer, I found it to be all over the place! Thoughts?

I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.
OS: Vista Home Premium x64, SP2 (and current with all MS updates)
Now I'm pretty nervous re: syncing with ANYTHING-especially my iPod that has all my music I teach from at work.

Why is the webpage jumping all over the place with parallax scrolling?

Hi all, I'm getting a little frustrated here... I've built a looooong (10,200 pixel) parallax scrolling site, when I click 'Preview' it plays like a dream, but when I render the HTML, view in browser or publish to business catalyst to view, it just jumps all over the place. I realise that the page is extremely long, I'm thinking it could be that but just need to clarify it before I rework it all and maybe find out after, that it was something else that was causing it to happen.
Your views would be greatly appreciated!
