Some photos come up for a second then become blank

On some sites, the photos flash by, but when I put my cursor on them, that part of the photo will be enlarged to show details.

time to time (when I have a chance), I will go to Finder, bring up ALL Images and start going through them to label them (before I put a label on them, they are simply listed as 123 jpg, 124 jpg etc.).
You're damaging the Library doing that, and that's the cause of your problem.
Never, ever, ever use the All Images search and work on items in yoyr iPhoto Library. They must only be accessed via the iPhoto window.
Restroe from abck up or try rebuild the Library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
Next: You need to learn how to use iPhoto. There's no need to be dragging things to the desktop:

Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, the photo comes up for a second, then the picture turns black with a white fuzzy circle inside it and what looks like an explanation mark. Some older, some newer, no common thread.

Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, they come up for a second, then turn black with a white circle in the middle and what looks like an explanation mark. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the photos that are a problem, some older ones, some newer, some albums have none, some albums have a lot.
Thanks,
Mark

My ipod froze so I restarted it, but then it happened again, so I restarted it again, and it was fine but then it ran out of battery. Now when I plug it into the charger it, the Apple sign comes up for 5 seconds then disappears, it doesn't turn on or come up with the charging sign. Is it not going to work again, or is ther something I can do? Please help.

I have the same problem, and my Ipod turned off (when I held the home and power button)

Do you know what I should maybe do?
Thanks is advance

My laptop (dv6910us) will not boot up. Blue lites come on for 1 second, then turn off.

My two year old Pavillion laptop DV6910us model will not boot. I push the start button, the top line of blue lite glow for about a second, then all the lites turn off. If I push the button again, the same thing happens; blue lites for a second, then dark.
I've tried this with or without the battery; same result. With or without AC power supply
; same.
Anybody got a clue?

Here are some options:
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
If you can remove the motherboard yourself you save money. You can search around on eBay and call some of these providers until you find someone you are comfortable with. Look for their feedback and ask for references.

When I click on safari button a blank safari screen comes up for one second then minimizes. can't use safari?

When I click on the safari button a blank screen comes up for about one second, then minimizes. I have checked wi-fi connection, and all is fine. Facebook and maps apps still work.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is 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.

I have used FF for years. Yesterday I could not get it to open. The clock comes on for a second then goes off. IE works OK. I uninstalled and reinstalled FF

I uninstalled FF and reinstalled it with the same results. IE and Chrome work fine. This is something that just started yesterday afternoon. Can you help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

I am using Lion on a new iMac. When I open the dashboard it comes on for 30 seconds then it closes with the message"dashboard client quit" How can I fix this?

I am using Lion on a new iMac. After a few months the dashboard quits after about 30 seconds with the message "dashboard client quit". Is Thera way to if this? I am considering upgrading to Moutain Lion. Will this cause a problem?

I dont know its the wifi at work...ssshhh dont tell. I will try it at home where I know it is hi-speed.

B757e powers up for 2 seconds, then shuts down.

I don't know if I am in the right section, but l have a B575e .
I left it on sleep for about 4 days, when I opened it today, it was Off.
I tried to power it up, but it only comes on for a second, then shuts off.
I tried charging the battery, and tried to power it up with the charger connected.
Also tried removing the Battery and using just the charger.
Still same thing. I brought it used, so I don't think it is still under warranty.
The PO said it was only a year old or so, and had only used it a few times.
It was working fine up till this point.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Tony
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OMG it worked, what is that some kind of re set?
What happened? Should I not leave it on sleep for 4 days or so?
Booted up, seemed to take a little longer, IDN if it's related?
Seemed to hang on the sign in screen after entering password.
It wants me to up grade Free to windows *.1 should I do it. It already has windows 8 in it. 8.0 I guess, l am not sure.
Thank you for the help, I take treatments mon and tues, and I like to have the lap top there.

When I power up my ipad air the apple logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough.

When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Firefox will no longer start. Already updated, and now it will not start. Uninstalled, reinstalled (numerous times). Click the icon and nothing. Hour glass comes up for a second and then it is gone. Running XP ver 5.1 (service pack 3)

Firefox will no longer run on my computer. It's been working fine up until a few days ago. Installed the updates and now nothing. Uninstalled, reinstalled (numerous times). Click the icon and nothing. Hour glass comes up for a second and then it is gone. Running XP ver 5.1 (service pack 3) edit. I'm no techie so I have no clue what is causing this or what to do. I love firefox and miss it greatly. Anyone know what I can do to get it back?

Can you install a new profile? See [[Managing Profiles]] for me details and let us know if you need additional assistance.

I'm now using iPhoto '11 (9.3.2), and none of the photos in my library will enlarge. I can view them all as thumbprints, but when I click to enlarge just a black, blank space shows up. Occasionally, one will enlarge for a second, then disappear. Help!

Just to clarify, I am not getting an "!" mark in a triangle, as I read others have experienced. The screen is just blank except the grey flag in lefthand corner to flag the photo.

My Macbook starts up, shows the screen saver, then immediately goes to sleep. I tap the spacebar, it comes back for a second, shows the tool bar and the hard drive icon then immediately "goes to sleep". This can go on forever, on, sleep, on, sleep.

I tap the spacebar, it comes back for a second, shows the tool bar and the hard drive icon then immediately "goes to sleep". This can go on forever, on, sleep, on, sleep. I can only see the screen for maybe 3-5 seconds; not enough time to do anything. Someone did step on it, so I don't know if the problem is with screen or ??
Thanks!

Hello, Juniorjr2.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like screen curtain may be enabled. Screen curtain is a feature that allows display privacy. To disable screen curtain while VoiceOver is enabled, you can three finger triple tap the screen to disable this feature. You may need to press the home button once in order to process these steps. If you wish to disable VoiceOver, see the link in the article below.
