Sometimes when I unlock my 5s using the fingerprint scanner it takes a blank picture!
I'm a bit puzzled by this one, but one occassioin when I'm using the fingerprint scanner to perform an unlock from the phone being asleep, it will snap a picture of the black screen and save it in the photos. I hear the shutter sound and that's how I know it has occured. Very randomly, but I do notice that when it does happen, it seems like it's when I hold the button down (as if I was going to call up Siri) a bit longer, but not long enough to bring Siri to my attention. It's hard to reproduce the problem on command, but it's something that will happen at least once a day.
Anyone else have this happen?
Seriously?!! Nobody elese is having this problem?!! I must have a defective phone! It does this about half the time I use the fingerprint scanner to perform a wake from sleep/unlock!

Can't Log in to Windows using the fingerprint scanner.
Hi,
I've had my HP ENVY MJ-j120dx Coe i7 (Windows 8.1 64-bit), product number E8A11UA#ABA for about a year now, and I did a full system wipe using the recovery software that was built in. Before the wipe the fingerprint scanner worked perfectly, however after the wipe the built-in fingerprint scanner no longer works for me to log-in to windows. The device is listed in the manager and is functioning fine. I can use it to scan my fingerprint and register it in the Accounts tab of PC settings. However it does not work to unlock windows. I don't have the message about fingerprint sign-in has been disabled or anything. And I can use it with HP Simple Pass and it works fine, the light to the left of the scanner lights up. But when I try to sign-in to windows it doesn't light up at all or register that I'm swiping my finger acrossed it. Any suggestions to a solution?Load the default settings in the BIOS, shut down the notebook and then restart it and go back into the BIOS to ensure that the Biometric sensor (fingerprint scanner) has been ebabled.

The scanner works fine with Explorer and worked fine with Firefox before the upgrade. I find it disconcerting that you upgrade something that then changes how I have to use my computer in ways that have nothing to do with Firefox. At least we should have been warned prior to the upgrade that this was going to happen.
Id this the HP SimplePass Identity manager or Digital Persona fingerprint reader? If it is, the company that make the fingerprint reader have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

Why won't Firefox 4 allow me to use my fingerprint scanner on my laptop?
I have an HP laptop with a built in fingerprint scanner. With previous versions of Firefox I was able to use that to log on to websites that require a username and password. However, I just downloaded Firefox 4 today and this new version will not allow me to use the fingerprint scanner. Can this be fixed?
Hello Tdp86,
It sounds like you are having an intermittent issue where you are unable to access your movies, and you cannot play them at all. I want to recommend starting by signing out of the iTunes store in settings:
From the main Apple TV menu, choose Settings > iTunes Store.
From: How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1498
Then restart the Apple TV:
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
From: Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180
Then test the issue again and see if it works correctly, and consistently.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sounds like a hardware issue. Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

I have an apple magic mouse, sometimes when I slide mouse up to the left my whole window is enlarged. How do I put window back to normal size
Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse. You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse. Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless. The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
The wired mouse is a regular problem. After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so. Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight. Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper. This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc. Then try again -
when my iphone is on WIFI and I lock it, it turns the 3g on, when I unlock it, it turns the WIFI on, anyone else?
If you forgot your passcode, you have to use recovery mode to restore

Can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch
Hi,
I can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch. Which means I can't access the calender, recent calls, and the other features on the phone. The only thing I can do is slide the phone when I need to answer a call or send a text. I'm not sure what the problem is. I also don't want to pull the battery out and re insert it because I think if I do that, my phone will lock up permanently. Will someone help me please?
Thanks,

I am new to iMovies. When I make a video using the mic and camera in my Macbook Pro, the audio and video are not in synch. Very annoying. How can I fix this?
DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??
Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks, -

I just bought a SAMSUNG SyncMaster 940BW widescreen monitor. The ratio is 1.6 but when I go to use 1440x900 it only allows 60Hz refresh rate and jitters like crazy. Anyone else had success with this monitor - keeping with a true ratio of 1.6?
