Screen shows image, but is very bright white, and very hard to see.

hello, i have a 4gen nano with a screen that is a bright white most of the time, with a barely visible display. i can see enough to navigate where i want to go, but is is very difficult. on rare occasions the screen returns to normal, randomly, but returns to its white condition soon after. any ideas on what is causing this would be very helpful. thank you

try shutting down and doing SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
also try PRAM reset, the following article tells how to do that:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
if still having issues after doing these 2 resets i would take the mac to apple store or service provider to have it looked at. the following link helps you find one close to you:

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

Let the battery drain dead, recharge it and test. If it still does not work, restore.

Sounds hardware-related. Have you got a SuperDrive? If so, boot from that to test.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

iOS: Unable to update or restore

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

I just updated to the newest version of Firefox and now none of my themes work. It's just all white and very hard to see.

I have windows XP, just updated to the newest version and not none of my themes work. It's just all white for my tabs and tool bar. Very hard to see. I've reinstalled the themes and nothing works.
Any ideas?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

does any one have any idea what i should do it has been jailbroken for 3 months now i downloaded android lock and it started doing this

That happens sometimnes with jailbreaking.
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

Is there any way to increase the contrast of the slider in the Table of Contents? It becomes very hard to see as you slide down a presentation. This has been asked before, a few years back. Has a solution been provided?

I designed an interactive script using Captivate 7. It works like a branching scenario, and is currently in use by about 350 phone operators, soon to be over 750. Everybody is pretty happy about it, but I am getting complaints - especially form the older people - that the slider in the TOC is very hard to see, and I agree - as you scroll down the TOC entries, the slider becomes lighter and lighter in color. Is there any way to tweak it so that I can increase contrast, or recolor it in a darker tone? I know this was discussed a couple of years ago, but I don't know if the issue was addressed by Adobe, or if anyone has come up with a solution.

Layer mass will let paint black to reveal but I click on white and paint it won't conceal

With my layer mask when I paint with black it reveals but when I paint in white it won't conceal.

You all not understanding I was able to switch between to either hide or reveal then I was only able to reveal my brush size is the same and my flow is the same but it not working when switch to white.
It could be your not understanding what we write either. Many here are experts on using Photoshop and masking. It clear Masking is not working for you the way you want the way you state it use to work. Therefore something has changed in your setup. You stated that black use to reveal and and white hide. In reality black does both hides and reveal. It hides areas in the layer the layer mask is on which reveals what is in lower visible layers. You state white reveals again it does both it reveals and it hides. If the current layer mask was hiding area in the layer its on which reveals what is in lower visible layers when you paint with white it will hide what is in lower layer by revealing what is in the layer it on. Layer masks are like a stencil Black cuts out what is in the layer white leave what is in the layer there. Also visible layers above a masked layer can hide all layer below and any effect a lower layer mask may cause.
As Noel wrote some screen grabs showing your image window, layers palette showing layers and target layer mask, tool pallet and tools option bar for your brush tool active and the areas your painting Black and White and will enable some here to help point the way and shade light on your problem.

I just downloaded version 7.1.1 and my phone is stuck on a screen showing me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes. When I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to do a hard restore. Doing this, it says it will go back to factory

how can I keep my data doing a hard recovery on my phone? I uploaded newest version and phone is stuck on a screen telling me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes, when I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to restore, Can anyone please help me get my phone back without losing anything?

You shouldn't have to restore your phone to keep your data. But first press home and on button at the same time until phone shows up Apple logo an boots up normally. When the phone comes back on plug into ituens and back it up by selecting "Back Up Now". Once backed up, you can press update and install 7.1.1 and it will restore and recover all your previously backed up data. You can also press "update" and itunes will automtically back up the phoen and install 7.1.1.

My hp mini 110: bios update screen is displayed but the process repeats again and again, plz help

My HP mini 110-3107tu: At startup HP Bios update screen is displayed with message "The system BIOS is being recovered"....Writing new BIOS image.....
Next message is displayed Verifying new BIOS image...
Thereafter "The System BIOS recovery is complete" message appears. But this process repeats again and again. Please help.
Is there a solution, how i can recover my netbook or should I take it to the service center

I have searched far and wide for a workaround that does not involve sending it to HP. Unforunately, I was not able to find such a workaround.
As a last effort, you can try these steps.
1. Power off the notebook completely.
2. Hold the windows key + b keys simultaneously.
3. Power the notebook on while holding those keys and keep holding them.
4. Let the keys go when you get a message about BIOS recovery.
Let me know what happens.
