Wallstreet G3 top left quarter of my screen not working.
I have a PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet), and had OS 8.5 installed and running fine. I have recently upgraded to Tiger using Xpostfacto adn now have a problem with my display. If the screen resolution colour is set to Thousands I have different coloured lines appearing all over the screen and offset but following the cursor. When I change the colours to Millions the lines only occour in the top left quarter of the screen and still follow the cursor all over the screen. I have connected the PowerBook up to my TV using the S-video out and the problem persists on the TV too. I have tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM but the problem still persists. I have even erased and re-installed OS 8.5, 9.1, 10.1 and 10.4 on seperate occcasions and the problem was happening on them all. Anyone know what else I could try to fault find?
Thanks in advance.
Oliver
Oliver,
The move to Tiger will not cause a hardware failure, but the definitive test for a logic board issue is the same problem occuring on an external monitor and also when booting to a CD.
However, give this a try and see what happens:
- If you still have 9.x installed, start up with shift key down (extensions off) and see if the problem persists.
- If no 9.x installed, boot to your 9.x CD with shift key down (make sure you see the 'extensions off' message) and test.
If the problem is gone, you can use the powerbook by disabling the ATI extensions in both 9.x and 10.x.

FF 7.0.1 on MacOSX 10.6.8 (not this machine!): I sometimes get the "unresponsive script" dialog box jammed into the top left corner of the screen so that only a quarter of it is visible.
Is there a way of re-centring the dialog box (in particular, when its top edge is off the screen)?
Thanks!There is no way to preserve view preferences.Just remember or annotate the zoom % used in the package.
You may want to open an MS Connect item asking to add such a feature.
I can tell you it may not be implemented because a package may be opened on different size monitors.

The problem began after a recent Firefox update. Occasionally, when I try to open a new Firefox window, all I get is a grey screen with a tiny section of my homepage visible in the top left corner of the screen. NOTE: Firefox stores all of these aborted attempts, as, whenever I close it and then re-open it, the first time I open a new window it automatically opens all of the windows that had originally failed to open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== on or about June 26, 2010Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

I have a small window quickly popping up and disappearing in the top left corner of my screen?
I apologize in advance if this has been covered elsewhere, but I have been searching and haven't found anything yet. And thank you for any help you can offer, it is greatly appreciated.
Every 15 seconds or so a small, empty window will pop up in the top left corner of my screen and then vanish instantly. It opens and closes in a blink, so quickly that I am not able to interact with the window in any way. However, it shows up momentarily as a firefox tab on my bottom panel, so I know it is a firefox problem.
It is only an issue because whenever it pops up I am exited from fullscreen if I am watching a video online, and anything that I am typing while the window pops up will be ignored.
I am currently running Linux Mint Olivia 15 Cinnamon. However, I had the exact same problem when I was running Windows 8. In both cases, firefox has been installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled, which does not fix anything. I have updated firefox since it started happening, which also did not fix anything.
It was very tricky, but I did manage to get a screenshot of the box while it was open.
The same question was asked here, but never resolved: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/953373Does this only happen on specific pages?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How do i fix a frozen mouse? It is stuck in the top left corner of the screen.
How do I fix a mouse that is frozen in the top left corner of the screen? I have tried rebooting and unplugging but it will not un freeze it.
I didn't even suggest that because I would have thought that would be the first thing anyone would have checked for! If you flip the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse do you have a blinking green light? Whether you do or don't, if you are unsure of the batteries then replace them.

When i move my cursor to the top left corner of the screen, I am automatically logged off. Is it a software problem or is it a feature I can turn off?
I don't think there is an option for logging off in the Hot Corners, but check Mission Control System Prefs, Hot Corners button. What is set in the top, left.

Want to install XMavericks on Mackbook but do not have apple apps store in apple icon on top left hand corner of screen. All information tells me to click on this icon in order to install XMavericks. but I can't. What csn I do? Please help a computer learner. Thank you from Carmel
You would need to find out if your computer could even run Mavericks 10.9 before going through the hoops to get it; first thing would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD install disc, those sell for about $19. Then be sure to backup your system on the computer to an external archive (hard disk drive) then try & do the upgrade to 10.6; and then use Software Update in the system to look for update parts for it, including 10.6.8.
Also a later version of Flash player/plugin and other parts. A newer browser such as Firefox, too, may be an idea if the included Safari is not up to date.
Considerations include enough chip RAM installed, depending on what model MacBook you have this can vary; and enough free-space on the hard disk drive for the system and applications to work correctly; as OS X does use free space or unused capacity as temporary files and virtual memory to supplement installed chip RAM.
You can use a 'serial number lookup service' online to help determine the MacBook build model/year and whatever update or upgrade it may be capable.
•http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
Some early models of MacBook (coreduo 1.83, 2.0) have an upper limit on the OS X version they can use, later models with the core2duo may also have a few among their vintage that may not be suitable for Mavericks. There are several users of these who do not go past Snow Leopard if they have no newer applications, since older applications with Rosetta helping them run, won't work in a later system w/o Rosetta.
So there are considerations.
Good luck & happy computing! -
On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them. Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?
I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing.
What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.

I have a problem in iPhone . When you receive a contact and press the key at the top to cancel the contact screen stopped working .ataml times after the last restart device
Since restarting did not help, reset your iPhone, see: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that still does not solve it, check, if the contact you are trying to add is problematic. Try to save a different contact. Does that work?
If not, reinstall the Contacts app. This is only possible by restoring your iPhone, unfortunately.
See: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 -
