Looks like Xfce. Do you have some sort of panel/dock at the bottom of the screen thats hidden?
If you are running Xfce and have the compositor enabled, try disabling "shadows under dock windows" in Settings Manager >> Window Manager Tweaks >> Compositor tab.

Cannot claim points; Salesman might have messed it up.

Yesterday I purchased a Macbook Pro from a Best Buy location. Never bought big from best buy before so I never had a credit card. Applied, got it, and put the laptop on the card. He asked before if i was a rewards member and i said no, but id like to be one so I can get the points for this big purchase as well. He said it would take a while in store so just do it at home and I can claim them on here. I tried to do that but this system said I cannot add the points as I was not a member before the purchase.'
That was what I was attempting to do at the store, yet he said it would be better to do it online.
Is there any way I can claim these points? It's obviously a hefty amount and would be disheartening to see them go to waste. I have the receipt, number, everything.

Hello jkdecke01,
Welcome to the Best Buy forum.
If you were approved for a Best Buy credit card when you purchased the MacBook Pro, then you would have been automatically enrolled in the My Best Buy program. You in-fact might actually have two My Best Buy accounts if you went onto BestBuy.com to enroll in the program, as directed by the cashier. We can look into merging any active accounts you may have if they share the same information (name, phone #, mailing address).
With that having been said, I am going to send you a private message so that I can go over your My Best Buy account(s) with you to ensure the MacBook Pro you purchased is properly attached and to see about possibly merging any active accounts. You can check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the yellow envelope located at the top of the page. I look forward to further speaking with you.

I might have messed up my files and now have the big exclamation mark on a lot (but not all of my iphotos) My document folder was full of photos and I tried to organize it by putting it into a separate folder but now I can't see my photos :-( please help?

Hi there, I have the same problem as I've read on some of the questions posted although the answers hasn't been much help to me with regards to the big exclamation mark on iphotos when I try to open my photos. For some reason my photo files was stored in my document folder and you can imagine how that must have looked, very unorganized. When I tried to move the photos from there to another file that is just for my photos. Now I can't open them in iphotos and although I tried to undo my mistake it still doesn't want to work.. is there any way I can find all the images on my computer and fix my problem by storing them somewhere else without damaging the files?
Please help me find all my photos as I would be shattered if I were to loose any...
Thank you.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have trouble projecting my laptop screen using mirror mode

Hi,
I cannot seem to project presentations on the wall using a LCD in mirror mode. I have VGA adapter cable and all, so that is not the problem. However, the projection on the screen continue to show the desktop only, no matter which window I open on the laptop. Having looking through various help sites, one proposed to go to system preferences to change settings. However, when I go to System Pref/Display, I do not have the Arrangement option tab, where you normally can apply the mirror mode setting. Any idea why, and what my alternative is for mirror mode?
Many thanks.

Thanks Brenden, at least I now know that my macbook air is only capable of mirroring and has no arrangement tab. However, the links you provided say that I then must consult my manual, which I did to no avail. So problem still not solved.
Last time I tried to project on the wall, it did work in powerpoint display mode, but I could not get a mirror of my desktop when not using powerpoint. Instead the display on the wall kept on showing my desktop background image only, no matter what other application I was running, e.g. pdf, movies, etc. There was not actual mirroring on the wall of what was happening on my laptop. In microsoft, this mirroring happened automatically, but here not, and I don't get it why not. Where must I tinker? Please help.

[SOLVED] Detect HDMI/DP disconnect and recover laptop screen

Hi,
I have a T430 and sometimes I'm using an HDMI Screen with a mDP to HDMI adapter as a secondary or the only monitor.
I would like to have a script that automatically detects when I unplug the external monitor and switches back to "internal monitor only"-mode.
How can I do this? Where can I get the event from? I don't want to have a script that checks every n secs if the external monitor is still there. An event based script would be better.

I have a T430 with Intel only grafics and this doesn't work.
I've enable the HDMI out and disabled the LVDS out. Then I disconnected the HDMI cable. Nothing happens. When I reattach the HDMI cable the HDMI screen doesn't come back but my LVDS screen comes on.
So it seems to work but only if I reattach the HDMI screen. That's not the behavier I wanted.
Here are my scripts:
/usr/local/bin/displaymagic.sh
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
export XAUTHORITY=/home/xengi/.Xauthority
STATUS="`xrandr --current | grep HDMI1 | cut -d \ -f 2`"
if [[ "$STATUS" == "disconnected" ]] ; then
# switch HDMI off and LVDS on
xrandr --output HDMI1 --off
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1600x900 --rate 60
fi
This works great when I run it manually.
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-hotplug.rules
## enable LVDS on HDMI disconnect
KERNEL=="card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ACTION=="change", RUN+="su xengi -c /usr/local/bin/displaymagic.sh"
This seems to be the tricky part.
EDIT:
I got it working! Here it is in case somebody else wants it too. Thx for your help.

I *think* I might have a lineless PB

Unfortunately I already made the decision to wait for an intel PB and therefore purchased upgrades to my current 1.33 12" over xmas. (New battery, ram & etc)
Story was, this is my 4th PB from amazon and they shipped it out late so I had a friend pick it up while I was away from my house. He said it had the lines so I decided to say *screw it* to the PBs and wait for the next iteration. Well my mistake, I decided to boot it up tonight and the screen surprisingly didn't show any lines at all.
I first thought it was a contrast issue because he might have messed around with it so I went into colorsync and reset it to color LCD.
Re-ran the crankycat image . . . . no wavyness in the top orange box, no banding in the darker orange box, no lines on the first corndog or display pic, banding that did not disappear on the 2nd set of pics. Rebooted and ran updates. Same thing . . . . no visible lines.
This PB is close to perfect. Fit and finish is superb, no keyboard or trackpad issues like my other ones had, superquiet seagate drive, screen appears to be line-less . . . . only issue is a DOA battery. Very hard to return it since I have been dealing with exchanging it and etc for 1.5 months. I am contacting my friend tomorrow to ask about these "lines" that he saw, but this is nothing like the three other ones I returned. If I had received this one to begin with, I would have definetely kept it.
Here's the info . . . another w8544 model . . . same as the other three that I got from amazon. A sticker on the box says 2005/10/27 . . . . other ones that I received had that same date or 10/28.
I am honestly really quite puzzled with this . . . . kinda disappointed too . . . . after purchasing the upgrades to my 12", it's not really worth it to sell it and keep the 15".
I do have a digicam, for those that may want me to snap up close pics of the screen. It is a canon SD450 which I recently acquired . . . . not sure how to get the detail of other up-close pics I've seen. If anyone has any pointers or etc, i'll gladly try to take the pics. The first few I tried just looked like nothing.
Dave

Hi Dave,
Happy new year and have fun with your perfect PB. I personally would keep it.
Pictures of your line less PB can really be useful for us, if you take the same kind of picture as the ones taken by Chloro and JFelbab. These pictures have been made using the blue acqua apple background (with swirling curve), using macro mode. The interesting pictures are the one showing the subpixels (red, green, blue). For examples see
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1422677#1422677
I guess you may have to set up your canon powershot that way :
use manual setting, remove flash, push the function set button
digital macro mode
spot
Fine
Large.
zoom at the maximum (X4), put your camera at the sufficiant distance to clearly see the VERTICAL banding, and shoot.
Then you would be get the squared nature of the pixel and in zooming the subpixel level.
I would be very interested to look at one of your pictures.

Laptop screen t500

Hello,
I have problems with my laptop screen T500
It seems the sensor to close the top of the screen, is on
The screen is very dark, but not is off, I see a little
How could the sensor be okay? or "Do you know somewhere where I have a manual to remove the screen?
thanks

HT5636 the screen has stopped working. Is there a combination of buttons that might have changed the screen from the laptop to project onto another screen.

hi my granddaughter has an assignment to print off tomorrow and her screen was blank when she turned the computer on. You can hear it is working but not see anything. Are there a combination of buttons she might have pressed that would change the screen to a projector? help please!!!

OK, if you technically can't help as it has been hacked/unlocked then let's talk about another iPhone I have that nothing as been modified since it was purchased from the carrier.
If I had a similar situation with this iPhone, could the camera problem be a software failure, and not just an hardware problem?
Thanks again,
and sorry for being so politically correct - it's definitely not me..

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.) Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
(Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
Details:
G4 Gigabit Ethernet
Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
1.5 Gig Ram
I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
I zapped the pram.
In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,

Multi Monitor messes up laptop screen?

I have a 15" Retina MB Pro, got it when they first came out. Had the display replaced with the Samsung after the ghosting issue. But this happened randomly before that, and now it's every single time.
I have a 24" 1920x1080 external monitor I connect to via HDMI. I also have, on my laptop screen, some icons on the left edge, top edge, and right edge, so I can hit a few things here and there without having to minimize whatever I'm working on at the time if I need to do something else. These are mostly just some folders and text icons, not apps.
But what happens is that when I plug in the external monitor, the icon positions change. And it's not consistent. Sometimes they change so it's like the external monitor is just part of a virtual monitor, and my top row on the laptop moves to the middle of the laptop and extends across the middle of the external display. Sometimes when I plug in the external monitor, my "actual" desktop shrinks up to a small spot on the top left, like some crunched version of my actual desktop. Other times that happens, as well as getting a small silver plane shape from what would be the "dock" on that tiny screen. Now, regardless of what happens, my entire screen on the laptop is still usable, resolution isn't changing, and the entire desktop on the 1920x1080 external monitor is usable - it's just the desktop that gets totally screwed up as far as the icons go. If I unplug the monitor, they revert back to "normal" on the laptop display.
It used to just happen once in a while. Then it started happening more often, and now it's to the point where I may have to unplug and replug the HDMI 70 or 80 times to try to get the desktop to not screw up like this. At this rate I'll wear out the HDMI port in a month or so.
Any suggestions? One of my zillion google searches for this turned up someone who specified a plist file to delete, which I did, but that didn't solve the issue...
If it were at least CONSISTENT on way or another (screwed up across both screens, or always giving me that mini fraction of my latpop desktop on the top left of the retina display) it wouldn't be as bad as this, espeically since sometimes it *DOES* work as expected - I plug my external monitor in, and there's the second desktop waiting for me to drag stuff to it.
No, it's not set to mirror.
Thanks for any ideas, this is driving me absolutely nuts since I waste so much time on it every day. I'm about ready to nuke the laptop and rebuild everything from scratch but that's such a pain, and would just make me think of my windows days when I used to do that far more often than I do now...
MBP is current (10.8.3) wiht all updates, 8GB RAM and quad i7 processer model.

sorry did not completely read your post hehe
try to check the monitors maximum capabilities, apple can output 1920 by 1200
also check for the wide settings as well if the monitor is a wide one.
also, there are some issues with regards to windows running on mac missing drivers is most likely your problem see link of intel http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022544.htm#native_resolution
mac on the other hand supports the full 1920x1200 output since its their product

Do i have to bring my laptop to the genius reservation?

I have problems with my charger but do i still have to bring my laptop?
and I already prove the serial number when i made the reservation. Do I still need to bring the package or the receipt?

It might be a good idea to bring both charger & laptop...that way if they determine your charger is good, they will look at your computer.

I guess I should not have messed with my file sharing pref...now I'm toast

I use my Airport to connect to my DSL.
I was "messing around" with my SHARING configuration (Apple...System Pref....Sharing...) and did something awful. I no longer have wireless connection to my Verizon router. I can hook up and get online (as I'm doing now) with Ethernet , but not Airport.
The Airport ICON is now GREY and has an ARROW (pointing UP) though it. Never seen that before.
And when I click on the icon I can't find my net work. The other Macs in the house work fine with airport.
Verizon tech support could not help.
How can get my Sharing preference back to normal (I was trying and guessing how to connect my other imacs around my home , without really knowing what I was doing. And I did something in there to screw this up).
Help please
JON

Sys Prefs Sharing should not have messed up your ability to connect wirelessly to your router.
Click on the  on your menubar, click on "About This Mac" then click on "More Info..." Find "Airport Card" under "Network" and click on it. Does it say something like "No information found" or is your Airport card being recognized? If Airport is recognized as existing, I would next look in Sys Prefs Network, authenticate on the padlock in the lower lefthand corner, click on AIrport then click on Advanced, then check stuff in there, like on the Airport tab, is your home network listed there anymore? Try deleting it and readding it. Under TCP/IP, are you using DHCP (or whatever you use)? Or might it have gotten changed to a setting that is incompatible with your router's settings?
To get the Sharing Prefs "back to normal," just uncheck all of the checkboxes in Sharing and it will be back in its OEM state.

I've installed Photoshop CS5 on a new latop but it doesn't recognize my RAW files. Additionally, repeated attempts to perform available updates have failed. The laptop has Windows 8.1 64Bit.

I don't know who you talked to, but some of the support techs tend to look at CS5 as "no longer sold or supported" and usually don't want to mess with it.
We are mostly user-volunteers and have time to help you out. Some of us get perks from Adobe, but we are not employees.
I actually gave you the links to the two very important CS5 updates, but you want to peruse this general list Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
and get the Bridge CS5 updates as well. Adobe - Bridge : For Windows

[SOLVED] Can't change laptop screen brightness.

I'm using GNOME and can't seem to change my laptop screen brightness. The slider in settings will work by changing the value in intel_backlight between 0 and 4882 but the actual brightness of the screen will not change.
If I use the kernel line acpi_video = vendor all it does is create another interface called dell_backlight alongside intel_backlight which changes from 0 to 15 by changing the slider or pressing fn + f5 and fn + f4.
I have nouveau and intel graphics drivers installed and I'm running arch on a Dell XPS15 (L521x).
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Solved this by adding the kernel parameter video.use_native_backlight=0

I have a CQ60-214dx laptop. I would like to upgrade the processor in it to something else.

I have a CQ60-214dx laptop. I would like to upgrade the processor in it to something else. I have read on the Internet that it is possible to swap out the processor as long as you find the right socket, wattage, etc. processor. Is there a list out there of what is compatible with the laptop I have? I was hoping to find a processor that would take it from a dual core machine to a core2duo machine. Thanks for any info you can give me!
This question was solved.

Hi:
According to the specs page for your notebook it comes with a Pentium T3400 processor.
According to the service manual, link below, in Chapter 1, on page 1-1, it lists all supported processors that can be installed in your machine.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02985882.pdf
That means you can go from your little ol' T3400 processor, all the way up to the mighty T9600 if you want to.
You are 100% correct about needing to know the particulars about the processor's FSB speed, L2 cache, lithography, etc.
Apparently notebook PC's have a much wider range of processors one can install. In a desktop for example, rarely do you get such latitude.
In any event, the only thing you need to check for you PC, is the BIOS release notes to see if any are required to support a faster or newer processor.
I've taken the liberty of doing that for you and note that no BIOS updates are necessary to install any of the supported Intel processors listed for you notebook.
There is one other tool I like to use and that is the Intel Processor Comparison tool.
Here is a sample of comparisons for you to review for proessors that would work in your notebook.
http://ark.intel.com/compare/35581,35568,35563,35583
I am surprised that your notebook can handle processors from 2 different code names.
I also don't like that the sockets supported are not named exactly the same. I googled the difference and it doesn't appear to matter.
However, it should have either the GM or PM 45 chipset which supports any of those Pentium processors listed in the manual.
http://ark.intel.com/products/chipsets/35509#compatibility
I believe the GL40 chipset is for celeron processors only.
So, that is basically it in a nutshell. You should be able to upgrade to any of the Pentium processors listed.
