Screen showing a whitening of the screen on the upper left corner

I have a screen problem with my 1G iPhone (non-3G). I bought it within a week of introduction and in about a year, there was noticeable whitening of the upper left corner. I took it to a Apple store, they replaced it with another phone which has a speaker issue and so they replaced that second with another phone (right about when 3G was released). Now, the new phone is showing similar whitening on the upper left corner. Plus I see two bubbles in the display (about the size of a degree symbol) right in the upper left corner. I don't have Apple care coverage anymore. My wife's iPhone does not show this problem (though hers was also replaced for another reason within a year). We have had good luck with Apple products (7 laptops, 2 iMacs over 6 years or so) but we are leery of upgrading to 3G if there is so much trouble. Is it the first generation issue or folks also see this in the 3G model? Any help is appreciated. (The phone was never dropped and I take good care of it)

I haven't read anything about a recall, so if you have a first generation iPhone that is no longer under warranty and you didn't purchase the AppleCare extended warranty, Apple probably won't do anything for you - at least not for free. Apple doesn't offer a menu of repair services for the iPhone. Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty repair price, which pays for an exchange. You can call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
Or do a Google search with iPhone repair, or iPhone out of warranty repair. Depending on what needs to be repaired or replaced, the cost for 3rd party repair services may not be a whole lot less than Apple's repair price, which pays for an exchange and will include a warranty.

Where is the Firebox Button in upper left corner of Firefox 5?

Just downloaded and installed Firefox 5. Don't see the Firefox Button in upper left corner of browser screen, as shown on the New Features page. Does this have to be enabled? My browser says it's up to date, but I can't see much difference in appearance between 4 and 5.

Right-click a toolbar, untick "menu bar".

I clicked in the firefox icon in upper left corner and address bar dissappeared

How can I get my address bar back

It sounds like you might be in full screen mode. Hit F11 and see if that resolves the issue.
If that isn't it, right click next to the tab bar and make sure that "Navigation Toolbar" is checked

Loading my home page is fine. But, when transferring to another site is very slow. Also, even in my home page, the little circle in upper left corner revolves?

Firefox 21 for Ubuntu canonical 1.0
Linux, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Thanks for your reply!
I disabled IPv6. Still very slow.
To get in Safe Mode, I clicked Firefox/Help/Restart with add-ons disabled. I suspect this was the wrong thing to do because “All add-ons have been disabled by safe mode.
Actually, I did not see any opportunity to click a RESET button on the Safe Mode start window.
When I first entered the above question, I think I had an opportunity to run some diagnostics. However, because my computer is so slow, I actually posted the question from another linux computer, so saw no need to run the diagnostics on that machine. How can I get back to those diagnostics
Thanks for your help

I downloaded FF 4 and now 5 and with neither my screen looks nothing like it shows on the FF page. For instance, I do not have the orange FF tab in the upper left corner, I have no option of "pin as app" nor do I have Panorama. Can someone please help me?

To get the orange FF tab, go to View > Toolbars > Menu Bar. This should uncheck the menu bar and give you the orange button.
Panorama is a box made of 4 grey rectangles that should be on the far right, if it isn't after you enable the orange FF tab, right click on anywhere on a tool bar that doesn't have anything on it, and you should get a menu with a list of your tool bars that you can check and uncheck. go down to customize at the very bottom and it will open a window with all your buttons. Find the panorama/tab groups button and drag it onto the tool bar of your choice.
to pin a tab as an app, right click on it; it's an option in the right-click menu.

Have you done a Disk Repair and a Disk Permissions Repair?
If that doesn't resolve the problem I would suggest calling customer support about this issue as it is most likely on their (Apple's) end that the problem exists.

How do I get rid of yahoo toolbar and get back my orange firefox button in the upper left corner of screen so I can use my stuff again?

Yahoo toolbar suddenly imposed itself as my log on screen whenever I booted up my computer and clicked on Firefox. Now I can't get to my bookmarks even though it told me that if I activated the new bookmark system it would transfer my old ones. It didn't happen. The toolbar has no bar for typing in a www.http address. I cannot use it and don't want it. I am using Explorer just so I can access my bookmark address, but don't like Explorer. I want my old Firefox screen back that has the little orange button in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get there? My computer use has been highly curtailed by this unrequested invasion!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

How to display a frame at the upper left corner of each screen?

hi,
below are 2 ways to display a frame at the upper left corner of each screen (i have 2 monitors).
both work but the 2nd way is much slower. which, if any, of the 2 approaches is "more" correct?
import java.awt.Canvas;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.DisplayMode;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;

import java.awt.GraphicsDevice;
import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
// the thing that matters in here is setting the frame's location: xCoord
// is incremented in each iteration by the current screen's width and
// is used to set the frame's x-coordinate.
public static void main(String args[])
      GraphicsEnvironment gEnviron = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
      GraphicsDevice[]    gDevices = gEnviron.getScreenDevices();
      Color colors[] = {Color.blue, Color.red};
      for(int i = 0, xCoord = 0; i < gDevices.length; i++)
         // set panel's size and frame's size to take up the whole screen
         DisplayMode didsplayMode = gDevices.getDisplayMode();
int screenWidth = didsplayMode.getWidth();
int screenHeight = didsplayMode.getHeight();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBackground(colors[i % colors.length]);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(new Dimension(screenWidth, screenHeight));
frame.setContentPane(panel);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
// set location of frame.
frame.setLocation(xCoord, 0);
xCoord += screenWidth;
frame.addMouseListener
new MouseAdapter()
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) {System.exit(1);}
frame.setVisible(true);
// this is a lot slower and may not be correct: it sets the frame's location by calling
// getConfigurations() on each screen device but using only the 1st configuration
// (it returns 6 on my computer) to get the bounds (for the frame's x-coord).
// a screen device has 1 or more configuration objects but do all the objects
// of the device report the same bounds? if the anwser is yes, then the code
// is correct, but i'm not sure.
public static void main1(String args[])
GraphicsEnvironment gEnviron = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice[] gDevices = gEnviron.getScreenDevices();
Color colors[] = {Color.blue, Color.red};
for(int i = 0; i < gDevices.length; i++)
// set panel's size and frame's size to take up the whole screen
DisplayMode didsplayMode = gDevices[i].getDisplayMode();

int screenHeight = didsplayMode.getHeight();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBackground(colors[i % colors.length]);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(new Dimension(screenWidth, screenHeight));
frame.setContentPane(panel);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
// set location of frame: getConfigurations() is very time consuming
GraphicsConfiguration[] gConfig = gDevices[i].getConfigurations();
// on my computer: gConfig.length == 6. using the 1st from each set of configs
Rectangle gConfigBounds = gConfig[0].getBounds();
frame.setLocation(gConfigBounds.x, gConfigBounds.y);
frame.addMouseListener
new MouseAdapter()
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) {System.exit(1);}
frame.setVisible(true);
thank you.

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

You're welcome
You had Safari in full screen mode.

One website appears small and in the upper left corner of the screen - how do I fix

A website that used to appear normal on my screen now has shrunk and is at the upper left corner of the screen. It is too small for me to use. How do I get the website to appear normal size again? I already tried "Full Screen" option and that does not fix the problem. I am using Firefox 16.0.2 and Windows 7.

@jack, resetting the zoom level is already covered in the help article ;-)

Youtube videos are imprinting in the upper left corner of my screen.

When I have a youtube video playing in one tab, and I'm looking at another tab and bringing up a notepad text file or Spider Solitaire, the youtube video will imprint itself over the upper left corner of my screen and won't go away unless I refresh the desktop (solves it for a few seconds) or move the youtube tab away from the actively playing video.
It doesn't happen with every video. Here's two where it affects me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBQVsJbM6e8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui0WU0QcE3M
Does anyone know what's causing this?

Ah, now I notice the Edit This Post function. -_-

When youtube is not my active tab, the video plays in the upper left corner of my screen.

When I attempt to view a video on youtube, it takes several seconds to buffer. Leaving the video to run in the background I navigate to other tabs I have open and while the video buffers, nothing happens. When the video actually starts to play in the tab in the background, the video begins to play in the upper corner of my screen. The video does not to appear to be distorted at all, it's simply shifted from its location in the background tab to the upper left corner of my screen.

Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

White Screen with "1, unknown word_" in upper left corner

I was attempting to reinstall system software (original was 8.1, upgraded to 9, and then 10) to this old computer so that I could give it away without giving away my personal info -- it seemed no matter what, it kept asking me for my password on restart.
God knows what I did next (because I tried EVERYTHING!) but now all I get is a white screen with "1, unknown word_" showing up teeny in the upper left corner of the screen.
Real problem is, I can't get it to start up from any of my old system CDs -- I'm thinking that maybe it's not recognizing my USB port for the keyboard? (installed in one of the PCI slots -- not original hardware).
USB keyboard always worked fine BEFORE I tried to re-install software. Unfortunately, I burnt out my old ADB keyboard so that's an unavailable alternative....
Any suggestions on how to get it up & running? I would just as well trash it, but there's a nonprofit I know that could actually use it...
PowerMac G3 Beige Desktop Mac OS X (10.0.x) 233 mhz, pathetically small 4g hard drive
PowerMac G3 Beige Desktop Mac OS X (10.0.x) 233 mhz, pathetically small 4G hard drive

Can you borrow an ADB keyboard to see if you can reboot from the CD. Is there a Macintosh User Group in your area or any other Mac users you know at work, etc. that might have a spare one around?
If you can't temporarily borrow one, you might consider buying one:
eBay search for ADB Keyboard
I'm sure there are other Mac stores where you could find a ADB keyboard, check for ads in the back of your favorite Mac magazine.
Now, when you did the OS installations/upgrades, did you select an option that preserves the existing User accounts rather than a clean installation? I don't know why else you would get prompted for your password unless that was the case. One option to completely erase the disk before the OS install is to run Disk Utility, it's usually available from the Menu Bar when the installer first starts. If you truly want to wipe the HD clean of any info, select the Zero All Data option, which might take a while for a 4GB drive.

Since installing the new OS i am having troubles with different appliction icons showing up on my main page twice (upper left corner), and not allowng me to select certain ones (app store specifically). Anyone else having this issue?

Help - anyone else out there having trouble with the new OS system on their ipad 2? I am not getting mutliple copies of several apps ont he main page. They are "collecting: in a pike int he upper left corner and the original application icon is no lobger working. I have tried a hard sync, and that didn't help.

It should only be able to have one copy of an app on the iPad. Have you tried a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Do all the apps work ? In the past a few people have taken a screen shot of their iPad screen and that has then become their background picture - so some of the 'app's may actually be on your wallpaper picture and not actual apps. Have you tried changing the wallpaper to see if that makes any difference ?
