When moving the MacBook09 screen, turns display black/dimmed

This problem might be a loose wire, but which I highly doubt it...
Anyways everything is working fine w/ the MacBook09, it's just that when I move the Screen; tilt, display screen turns dimmed black(still able to see through it w/ all my programs running etc.) The lights of the screen ONLY come back on if I sleep the laptop OR not move the laptops screen at all.
Has anyone have this issue, and had it fixed some how. By the way, sadly that I don't have warranty for my laptop hopefully it's still fixable.
Please notify ASAP. Thanks Community

I've been havign the same trouble and I tried resetting the SMC (you can find the instructions on apple.com/support/macbook ) and it didn't work for me. I'm taking mine to an authorized shop to see if I should replace the backlight or not. Apparently this is very expensive. My macbook is also from Mid09.

Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black but I can see the arrow (pointer). And only after few seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down.

Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black (although I can see it is stil on) and I can see the arrow (pointer). Only after 15 seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down. It did not occur before, as a matter of fact it was instantaneous. What could be the problem?

Note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece. Then, press the button to put the MBA to sleep. Wait until the cursor disappears and for all indications that the Mac appears to be asleep.
Then, wake the Mac the way you normally wake it.
Then, find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
Open Console.
If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's sleep problem. To do that type the words sleep cause in the Filter field at the upper left of the Console window:
That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you woke the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to putting it to sleep.
Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "previous sleep cause". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before putting the Mac to sleep. This will result in a selection of perhaps 50 to 100 lines or so.
One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the fifteen second delay.
Copy and paste those log entries in a reply.
Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

hiskebdb,
If it happens when moving an object/text, the issue may be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution,

The camera screen turning black and locking up.

I see a lot of people having issues with the camera screen turning black and having to restart phone to fix it. I have the 6 plus and the screen turns black and locks when taking a second picture on the txt screen. I have replaced the phone and the new one does the same thing. I went to the Verizon store and they just scratched their heads. I have reset the old phone 3 times and restored from my back up which did not help. I put my sim card in new phone and restored it and it had the same problem. I thought my back up was the problem so I restored the new phone to new again without using my backup and it worked. After a few hours of turning off and on every setting I use and many many many factory resets I found the problem. Whenever the option for "speak screen" is turned on it causes the camera software to glitch and freeze after one picture is taken. I have verified it on 3 different Iphone 6 Plus.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This might be a problem with the movies themselves, where are they from, are they your own movies that you have converted yourself.

Do exactly what the screen is telling you to do. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. You either have to update the software that way, or you have to restore the iPad because something went wrong with the update.

FM9 crashing when moving the mouse to the pods

Hi,
I've FM9 (on XP SP3) frequently crash when moving the mouse cursor over one of the hidden "pods" in the lower side of the window (Conditional Text, to be precise).
I've sent Adobe several of the crash logs, but it seems there is no update fixing this issue.
Is someone else having this problem? I feel I alread asked this in this forum, but I can no longer find the thread.
Paolo

Paolo, just to be clear, "undocking" the pods by moving them away from your work area is different from actually "de-podding" -- which means stopping the pod from being displayed -- by changing your workspace settings.
There are some instructions about creating a custom workspace, in which you can stop the pods from being displayed or being "active" even when they are being minimizd, here:
Workspaces in FrameMaker 9

Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device?

Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device? I feel that having this information readily available to any who can turn on my device is a security flaw.
I have change the network name and password and would like to secure that information .

Worked with VZW tech support and finally found where you can disable or mask the display of the network name and password on the Jetpack LCD screen. You need to access the admin screen of your jetpack (http://my.jetpack/) . From there, navigate to Jetpack Settings --> Click on Wifi tab -- Click on the Wi-Fi Options link halfway down the page and it will show the two settings that control the display of network name and password.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...here are screen shots showing how to get to these settings. ...
The LCD display will show ********* for the network name and password if the two checkboxes above are unchecked. I really think these settings should be disabled to be begin with.
Oh well...posting here to share with those interested...

HT4528 How do I disable Siri when in the lock screen?

I tried Settings, General, Passcode Lock, and turned off Siri when locked but, when in the locked screen if you hold down the square button Siri still comes on. All day I can here my phone in my pocket turning on and off and telling me it didnt understand what I said.

That's not Siri, that's Voice Control which is what you get when you turn Siri off. Perhaps a different pocket or a belt clip. If things keep pushing that hard against the screen of your phone in your pocket, eventually, you could do some damage.
Best of luck.

Sorry my bad. I have tried to print the same document on another printer and all the formatting is fine.
