Screen is dim and brightness does not help, also a flickering
I have a HP Pavillion and just recently the screen is having some issues. The screen is very dim, still usable, but barely. And when you try to adjust the brightness, the brighter you make it, it actually makes it even dimmer. When the brightness is all the way down, it is dim but slightly usable. The screen also has a trivial flickering no matter the brightness, which is very unpeasent to the eyes. I already messed with the monitor updates and the refresh rate with no prevail, that does not appear to be the issue. Any suggestions/solutions would be greatly appreciated!
It happened to me today. I even registered for a repair. It was really dead then Now, after doing what you posted here.. pressing the menu and center buttons together.. it worked.
Wjats causes this hiccups?
The usual reset involves pressing just the menu button for 10 secs right?

Ipod 4th gen. screen too dark, adjusting brightness does not help
lost ipod for a few weeks. When found screen is too dark. If you hold it in the light just right you can see everything and it works, you just cant see it.
That actually happened to my friend. But he literally took the screen off and then did something in the inside but I'm not sure what he did. But yeah it should be something on the inside of the screen.

My iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?
Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
Thank you for your help in advance.Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.

Xfce broken completely and reinstall does not help...
Dear All,
I installed Xfce and it was working just fine until I got a strange error with unmounting a usb stick. After that the Xfce panel somehow disappeared after reboot. I don't remember exactly what I did, but now it is completely broken - I see only the "tips and tricks" window after login. No panel, no wallpaper - just nothing.
I removed xfce4 and xfce4-goodies completely and wiped all relevant config files, which I managed to find. Then I installed xfce again and it does not help!
Many thanks in advance for any help!

I can not burn a cd in itnes. When I open itunes it tells me the dirvers for importing and burning cds & dvds are missing. It tells me to reinstall itunes. I have done this and it does not help. How can I solve this problem?
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

My remembered and retained history was going back quite a few months. Following update of Firefox to 23.0.1 I lost all my history and Firefox only retains websites visited after the new version was installed. My bookmarks have been retained. I tried Recover in "Import and backup" but it only goes back to the date of the new installation. I tried places.sqlite in "Roaming" but there is only one with today's date. Is there a way to recover the lost history? Why did Firefox lose it? Will it happen averytime Firefox updates?
Backup your bookmarks manually. If you have been using the "import" you may have already lost some information by overwriting it. As a matter of course you should always save current bookmarks manually before using any restores.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
That way you can ensure you are able to restore the complete current set. Put your .json backup file somewhere safe outside Firefox program or profile paths. The Windows Desktop or removable media would be suitable.
Firefox does create some autobackups of bookmarks but does not do anything about backing up the History. Luckily Windows probably backs up previous versions of your file ''places.sqlite'' and that is the database with History and bookmarks in it. See if you can recover a recent version of that, it will restore your history up to the date of the restored file.
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions
* the file ''places.sulite'' is in the Firefox profile, a hidden folder that is easy to find by using troubleshooting. see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile]]_how-do-i-find-my-profile
Afterwards import your more recent bookmarks from wherever they were saved. The import overwrites the slightly older bookmarks from the Windows file.
You my also then wish to install and run the addon places maintenance.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
That may be used to check and repair the places.sqlite database. It will give a short status report. Note if the places.sqlite runs out of space it starts deleting History.
In future you my wish to routinely create occasional backups of your profile or at least your places.sqlite

all my contacts have cell phone numbers next to their name. i would like to print a list of only this field. How do i do this? i tried to cut and past to Excel but it not a "clean fit" and is more trouble than it is worth. is there an easier way?
Firefox does not have a contacts list. Any contacts list will be part of a website that you are using, you need to contact the support for the site to see if they have an option to export the contacts.

I have both an iPod and iPad 2. Latest I have sync. iPod and now I want to sync iPad, but iPad is not shown in iTunes when connected. I have the latest iTunes version.
If your computer starts image capture or some other camera software you should be able to quit that and then your iPad will show up in iTunes. Mine does this all the time.
The preference on what to start up when a "camera" is connected is found in Image Capture. So start Image Capture. It's in the applications > Utility folder. Then look for preferences. In my version it's in the lower left corner. Select None or Nothing and quit the program. From then on your iPad should show correctly in iTunes. But you will most likely have to start your smear software manually when you do connect a camera to your computer. -
I updated Firefox yesterday since than I can't do google search from searchbar. Most addresses when typed into addressbar directly are working but not all. All bookmarks are working fine.
If I type www.google.com in the address bar I'm forced to install flashplayer ( I will not!!)
If I however type in www.google.co.za i can serch in the folloing search windowHello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

upgraded to 3.6,lost all access to google for g mail, you tube and facebook,said ssl unsecure connection. This has never happened before and have been on firefox for years.
Hello Ian.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author. -

A restore loses nothing.
A restore does. If you are using the iphone as designed, then everything should be on your computer. -
I was changing my desktop screen saver in system preferences>screen protection. Now it says it is "Loading Images" and won't stop. The Colourful wheel goes around for ever and It does not stop. Can anyone help me?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart
