When i move screen the light on screen flickers.

when i move my screen forward or backwards the screen back light flickers on and off. what is wrong and how can it be fixed?

This can often be caused by a failure of the inverter cable, which is routed through the hinge and can become worn. Unfortunately access to the cable requires a fair amount of dismantling.

IMac screen: the light colors are gone to white

iMac screen: the light colors are gone to white. Not only in my windows, also in all browsers, etc. Must be a software problem, if I start up from an external disk it's OK. Possible a bad file in my User library but which one?? I did fresh install Snow Leopard, then it was OK again, but when I started some applications it went wrong again. Has anyone ever seen this?? I went to the Apple store and they could not help :-(

Screenshots do not show what you are actually seeing on the monitor.
Try holding the (Control Command Alt) keys and pressing the (Comma) key several times.
Alternately go to: Apple / System Preferences / Universal Access and in the Display section make sure that Enhance contrast: is set to normal.

Have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!

have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?

If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8.

Satelite L750 (PSK2YA-04K010) constant long beeps when it gets to the loading Windows screen.

Hey all,
I have a customers laptop here, a Satelite L750 (PSK2YA-04K010). It's running Windows 7 Home Premium and when it gets to the Windows loading screen it beeps long constant beeps and the HDD led flashes in time with those beeps and doesn't actually load Windows.
Next time you reboot the computer it will often not beep and then boot fine.
Anyone know what this error beep relates to? I can't see anything in the manual or online that explains the error beeps.
Thanks.

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

I have forgotten my administrator password, and there are no hints. I have a Mac OS X Mavericks. When I get to the reset password screen, it has no hard drive to select. What now?

If you're using FileVault, you first have to unlock the startup volume in Disk Utility. Select it and click the Unlock button in the toolbar. Of course, this is only possible if you know another password to unlock the volume. If you don't, follow instead these instructions.

Can you select them with "Arrow left" or "arrow right" key on your keyboard?

Cartridge holder makes a sound like a machine gun when it moves to the right just before printing

Product is HP Deskjet 4440 all in one. OS is Windows XP.
When the cartridge holder goes clear to the right just before printing it makes a loud noise like a machine gun just before it starts printing. It prints fine. But sounds like the cartridge holder is sticking and makes this machine gun like sound.

Hi @gramdeb,
I see by your post that the carriage makes a loud noise when it moves to the right, but you can still print. I can help you with this.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Remove and reinsert the cartridges, to make sure that they are correctly installed in the unit.
I have provided this document for different areas of the printer to check for any obstructions or broken parts in the carriage path. 'Paper Jam' Message Displays on the Computer. Disregard the title.
Did you just change out any of the cartridges?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Using US iTunes purchased songs when I move to the EU

Forgive the dumb question. I'm moving from the States to the Netherlands. I have quite a number of songs and movies I purchased on the iTunes US store. To be able to access them when I move to the NL, would I need to keep US as my default store, etc?

Once you have purchased and downloaded your songs and videos, they are yours to be played anywhere in the world you choose to play them. So there will be no issues after you move. As always, YOU are responsible for backing up your purchases, so be sure to do that if you haven't already.

I have an Apple monitor model A1316 is using for Windows computer, but I could not adjust the brightness. The monitor is not bright enough when I turned off the lights in my room.

Have you plugged the USB cable into the computer also as the brightness is controlled over USB. If this does not work, you would need the Apple Display Driver for the version of Windows that you are using. The display driver is part of BootCamp software that you may be able to find online

After Compressing file with Compressor when somthing move in the picture

After Compressing file with Compressor when somthing move in the picture , it will get a kinda interlaced in the edges of it , the orginal files was Uncompressed DV and I add subtitle on it and then used the 90 min best dvd preset for it .
I really need some help .
thanks a lot .

I would take a step back here before going further. William's suggestion might very well clean up the library but something obviously did not go right and to start mucking about in the library might make things worst.
For starters I'm surprised to see the folder structure you showed in your first post. Aperture stores managed masters (originals) by import date and time. The structure (in all libraries I've ever seen) looks like:
So something seems wrong with your master folder.
Also the three folders you showed the first and third are identical ( the middle one has the (1) added to which is how the OS handles duplicates in a folder) so this shouldn't even be possible, those folders should not be there.
I'm wondering if this is something left over from your using Duplicate Annihlator. Do you have a copy of the library before you ran the merge and used DA on it? Would be interested to see what the master folder looks like.
Finally when you ran the merge which library did you tell Aperture to use as the master, the one that was used to resolve conflicts?
Again William's suggestion might be all you need to do but it would be good to figure out want went wrong before proceeding.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - A better first step might be to run the Aperture first aid tools, repairing and possibly rebuilding the library.

X200t screen flickers when mouse moves off the right screen edge in secondary landscape orientation

I just got my 1st lenovo tablet pc (x200t multi-touch w7 32bit). However, my first experience is not so smooth.
I am having a screen flicker issue in secondary landscape mode (not the default landscape mode) whenever I move my mouse beyond the right edge of the screen. From the symptom, it seems like Windows 7 didn't stop the mouse from moving out of the screen, and hence Windows 7 tries to redraw everything from the top up to the cursor repeatitively (i.e. flickering)
In other orientation, the mouse is actually stopped before moving out of the screen because I can still see the edge of the cursor when I move to far right.
Does anyone know of a solution? If not, I would like to know if anyone else experience this issue. You can reproduce this by
1. rotation the screen orientation until buttons on the screen is at the top of the screen (i.e. the secondary landscape orientation)
2. move your move beyond the right edge of the screen.
3. screen starts to flicker

After my Macbook has been on for a little, the light goes out on the screen. When I start to close the screen the light comes back on. I can hold it in this position and keep typing/reading indefinitely.any idea what is the problem?

After my Macbook has been in use for a little while, the light goes off on the screen as if the computer is off. Then, as I start to close the screen, it comes back on fully. If I push it back open it cuts off again. So, I just leave it part way open and turn the laptop at an angle so that I can continue to see the screen & type. It acts like there is a short. Any idea what the problem is?

It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

Why my windows 7 when i move up expands to full screen

My computer HP Intel core 64 bit professional, when I move my windows to the top of the screen it automatically expands to full screen, sometimes I want to use another window and i cant, that is annoying, how to avoid that.
This question was solved.

Welcome the forum, Angelitos.
You may have Aero Snap turned on. You can disable the feature.
See the following document:
HP PCs - Windows 7 Accessibility Options - c03543992
Scroll down the document a bit more than halfway;
See the Section titled: Disabling Aero Snap
You might reboot / restart the computer after making the change.
More information:

That should do it.

Why does my sound only come on sometimes when i get to the log in screen for World of Warcraft?

Product: HP Pavilion dv9628nr
Operating system: Vista
Error Message: (i dont know if it is an error message) "No Audio Output Device Installed"
All I did was play the latest content for World of Warcraft (Patch 4.3). I hit the mute button and it turned red. I hit "exit" and "exit now" after i was done playing and it took a long time to exit. After it was back to the very familiar screen with all the icons the sound was gone. The mute button was blue after a restart, then it started saying i didn't have a sound card when i tried looking for it. The next day i turn on my laptop and and the mute button is red when it's starting up. After it was done I unmute it and sound worked fine, but for a while. After that the sound only comes back on a few rare occasions when i get to the login screen of world of warcraft. Then after a while of walking around doing nothing, the sound is gone again, but the mixer is still there (the mixer disappears after i restart). It also doesn't let me successfully uninstall the sound driver. I restart and go to reinstall the driver on the website, but during the download it says that it's already installed and if i want to overwrite, when i hit "yes to all" the lap top beeps LOUDLY, and says the installation failed because it didn't find the device. What's going on?

The boot ROM is static unless Apple issues a firmware update. I just checked and they never released any such updates for the eMac. Without a firmware update available, I know of no way to overwrite the current version.
What did the serial number check show? Don;t post your serial number, just whether it fell within one of those ranges.
The logic board issue was specifically bad capacitors. Look at some of the pic posted here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/gdegagne/EMacCapacitorReplacement#
Open your RAM door on the case bottom and look inside. The third picture in the web site is the view with that door open. You can see only two of several possible bad caps through the RAM door but, if those two are leaking brown goo like those in the image, I think you will have found your problem.
I just realized you are in Tacoma. That makes the closing of the repair place I mentioned all the more sad, as your shipping costs to Eugene OR would be much less than for an eMac owner living several states away. Heck, you could have driven it to Eugene!
Really, I'm not in the habit of preaching 'gloom and doom' but, in your case, we need to deal with the logic board issue first to be able to provide you with worthwhile help should your computer not have the "bad cap" problem. If bad caps are the problem, there is not much we can offer other than to refer you to Google to search for self-repair instructions, or to Apple Customer Relations (1-800-767-2775) to consult regarding a Repair Extension Program that was apparently shut off too early.
