Warped text in all programs and lists out of the blue

Anyone else having issues with text suddenly going wonky - skewed and warped - mail, word, menus, finder, etc, etc, etc
annoying!

Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If KP, then most likely hardware related.  Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember.   See

  • After sleeping for ~30m MBPr closes all programs and logs out

    MBPr 15" Oct 2013 version, OS X 10.9.4
    I have the bottom left hot corner set up to sleep my mac.  Every time I do this and leave it for around 30m, it closes all my open programs and logs me out, and I can't figure out why. 
    In Energy Saver I've enabled "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off", and disabled "Put hard disks to sleep when possible".
    Are there any other settings somewhere that affect this?

    Hello Byron Gibson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please check your Security & Privacy Advanced settings to see if you have the option to log out after a certain time of inactivity.

  • When I try and open the camera it just closes again and doesn't activate the lens, is it a restore issue or a hardware issue and happened out of the blue

    The camera function wont open and connect to the lens it just closes again with showing any error, do I need to restore the I Pad or is it a hardware issue
    Thanks

    Before you go restoring the iPad, try this first. Close the camera app and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the camera app icon. Tap the home button.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • All sorts of problems out of the blue

    Hello. I have a G4 powerbook 1.33 running 10.3.9. Late last night, I was working on some stuff and I think I ran the computer a bit too hard. Now it's running incredibly slow even opening up a folder. It doesn't have enough power to complete simple tasks, and after a bit, it reads "error 10810". Also, my battery icon says "no batteries available" and only shows an "X". It runs on the battery though. I also notice that my airport won't run either. The icon is always in the "off". I've disc repaired the start up disc as well as repairing disc permissions, and nothing has changed.
    Should I perform a clean install? I've got everything backed up. I can't tell if this is a hardware or software problem. Does anyone have any ideas at all? Thanks alot inadvance.

    That "no batteries available" and only shows an "X" is a problem. Try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) by performing the following:
    1) Shut down the PowerBook.
    2) Disconnect the battery charger and remove the battery (using a coin).
    3) Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
    4) Install the battery and connect the battery charger.
    5) Turn ON the PowerBook.
    6) After its boots you will see a screen message saying the clock time has been set. Click OK.

  • How to find which programs (and other objects) use the field LGORT

    Hi, Im an Abap freshman, and I have been asked to search all programs and objects that use the field LGORT (Storage Location), regardless of what table it is in.
    Is it possible to do it using the "Where-Used List"?
    This will be important since a new Storage Location will be created for MM, and we have to assure that no other programs that reference to it will be affected.
    I would appreciate any help. Thanks!!

    Hi George,
    Go to transaction SE11, choose radiobutton Data Element then enter the name LGORT. Now using the where-used-list in the toolbar, choose programs checkbox in the subsequent dialog and press enter. It should show all programs using the field LGORT irrespective of table name.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Sougata.

  • Out of the blue flickering and iCal won't quit

    We bought our iMac 20" last January 2008 and it has worked perfectly. I have installed all updates. After the last update (and I really don't know if it is just coincidence...) iCal won't quit unless it is forced. All data is gone. It might also have something to do with the last time I synced my iPod...?
    More troubling, the screen has started flickering... almost shutting down at points. However, it is not on a regular basis and seemingly out of the blue...?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Wilrez,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Regarding the iCal issue, if you used Software Update for installing OS X 10.5.7, you may want to try reinstalling the update using the Mac OS X 10.5.7 Combo Update.
    Let us know what happens with both problems after the reinstallation.

  • I purchased Adope Photoshop Extended and loaded onto my laptop.  I recently had to unintall all programs and can't seem to get Photoshop back on my computer.

    I purchased Adope Photoshop Extended and loaded onto my laptop.  I recently had to unintall all programs and can't seem to get Photoshop back on my computer.  I have the Serial number but can't figure out how to reinstall.

    I have the exact same question.  I have the serial number too.  I called Adobe help line, and they had a "technician" go into my computer and I thought he was going to reinstall.  He just showed me why the computer runs slow and why it didn't reinstall, and then told me if I still wanted his help it would be $300-$400.  !!  i thought it was a help line.... how does that help?  I didn't pay that much for the program!!
    I desperately need help with this!

  • How do I set up two profiles on my computer but still utilize all programs and files?

    How do I set up two profiles on my computer but still utilize all programs and files?  I want to set up two profiles so my wife and I can utilize two iTunes accounts and different internet settings, but when I set up an administrator profile for her and log in. I don't see all of the stuff that is on the administrator profile (mine) that was created first

    A second user account is separate; with separate preferences and data,  but can share the same apps as long as they're in the top-level Applications folder, not an Applications folder inside another user's home folder.
    Sharing files is a bit different; you can put them in the special Shared user folder, or grant permission to specific files/folders in one account to a different user.

  • All of my purchased ringtones and songs dissapeared out of the blue. How do I get them back without having to buy them all over again?

    Out of the blue, all of my purchased ringtones and music aren't displayed anymore on my iPhone.
    I went to iTunes to see if they were stored there, but the downloads folder also appears to be empty. If I try to select a ringtone I've downloaded before, a popup appears saying that I've already purchased that item and asking if I want to cancel or buy. If I click on buy, then I pay for the item again even if I already have it! The only place I can still see my purchased items is in the iTunes application on my computer, but even though I've already selected sync, the ringtones and songs still won't appear on my iPhone.
    What happeneded and how can I get them back without having to pay for them all over again?
    Thank you!

    I'm having the same problem on an iphone 4s running iOS8; when i updated to iOS8, all my ringtones went missing, and when i got a £50 gift card for christmas (2014), I purchased some songs from the iTunes store on my iPhone. i downloaded songs from paramore, panic! at the disco, coldplay, and imagine dragons, over wi-fi, and they went into my iphone music library; but when i re-opened the music app a few days later, in a place where i had no wi-fi, except for my 3G phone signal, some cloud icons appeared next to my newly purchased songs, telling me to re-download them from the cloud, when i haven't even deleted them. this has happened twice now, and i had to use up some of my 5GB data allowance to redownload them from the cloud. This is annoying and i need to fix this issue ASAP.
