White blotch on display when dock is in view..??

When the dock is in view, there is a small white dot ( a lot bigger than a deal pixel) no matter what background i have. When the dock is hidden the white dot is not visible but when the dock comes up again it appears.
Can someone explain this to me?

Have you tried restarting your computer? Also, where is the white dot on the screen? And, create another user account (on Mac OS), and see if the same problem exists on the other account.

HT1212 How can I restore my iPod touch 4G with white on the display when it has a passcode on it and I know it butI can't enter the passcode on it?

My iPod touch has white on the display. I need to restore it, but I can't enter the passcode on it. Is there any other way to type the passcode and restore it when I know the passcode?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Cannot dim iPhone 4 display when docked on Beatbox

While listening to my iPhone 4 on the Monster Beatbox accessory, the iPhone brightly displays the battery charging screen. Although not a real issue for me, my wife hates the brightness when listening to music while falling asleep. Any idea as to how to dim this display while docking/playing music via the Beatbox?

Well, that worked out. Guess I need an easier question. Ciao.

Todo tab: Routes displayed when selecting the List View

Hi,
I have a question about the routes that appear on the workspace's "To do" list view, and how to perform validations when they are clicked.
I've created a process that starts with a form being created by a user. Then, it's validated by a sequence of other users. Each one sees a different set of routes. On one of the steps of the process, one of the routes requires the user to input a text.
The condition is checked on the click event of the AWS_SUBMIT button, where I've also put the text request. If the user is using the card view on the "To do" tab and clicks on the item, the form opens and, when the user submits it, all works as expected. However, if he has the list view and clicks once on the item, the route names appear on the bottom right of the workspace, and he's able to select them. As the form hasn't been opened, there's no control on the selected route, and the user is never asked to input the text. On the next step of the process, which depends on this text, the process gets stalled.
Is it possible to hide these routes on the workspace, disable the list view, or stop the submit if it hasn't been started without opening the form? I know you can customize the workspace, would this allow me to remove the route buttons?
The version we are using is LiveCycle ES 8.2.1.3.
Thank you

Is there any way to hide the submit button(green check mark) that appears on the task card when a user saves a form in their draft folder.
Users are bypassing the form validation by submitting a form this way. For instance, a user will fill out the form with values that do not pass validation. They will save the form in their drafts folder. The user will then close the form and navigate to their draft folder. Without opening the form again, they will click the green check box submit button and a form with invalid data will be submitted to the process.
This is LC 8.2.1.3.

Horizontal Menu Bar not displaying when published as it views in live view or preview

I am working on putting together our site and haven't used Dreamweaver in years so very rusty. I have a horizontal menu bar that is working properly in "live view" and in "preview" mode but when I publish the submenus are not working.
You can view the site at www.pulsecc.org
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much! That's a little frustrating how long I pulled my hair out trying to figure something this simple out!
Thanks again!

T530 - Dual boot not displayed on external monitor when docked

Hi,
I just got my new T530, loaded all my applications and data from my T61. The T530 is connected to the 4338 docking station.
I have Win 7 on the internal disk, and Win 8 on the ultrabay disk.
Dual boot works fine when undocked, but when docked and the lid is closed I don't see the dual boot selection on the external monitor and the PC boots into Win 7 (which is my default OS).
When cold or warm booting I also don't see the Thinkpad splash screen.
I did not have this problem with my T61 when docked. There the splash screen and dual boot selection was displayed and I was able to select which OS I want to boot into.
Any ideas whet I can do here?
Thanks

As I came across this it's a matter of the two graphic cards and how they are shared.
The Intel always drives the Laptop-Display and the analogue port, the digitalports at the docking are all driven by the Nvidia Card.
The splashscreen will always be displayed with the intel card and therefore not be visible with the digital ports at the docking.

Electrical noise when a white background is displayed on the screen

My iMac 27 mid-2010 got the LCD and graphics card replaced recently, due to the infamous dark spots on the display and some other video problems (vertical dotted lines on the screen).
Those issues are fixed, but now I have a new problem that didn't exist before the repair:
There is an annoying high-pitched electrical noise, but only when a white background is displayed on the screen. For example: When I open a blank page in Safari, the noise comes up. If I switch to another tab with a black background web page, the noise disappears.
The noise is perfectly noticeable, and very annoying, when using the computer in a silent room. It is not related to display brightness, since it's always there no matter what brightness level I set.
The Genius in the local Apple Store was able to hear it, so it's not a problem of perception. But he could neither find the cause nor solve the issue, so he returned the computer to me, with a vague 'its a normal noise, maybe caused by the CPU or the graphics card when they have to display white backgrounds'.
Well, the thing is, this noise wasn't there before the LCD/graphics card replacement. I'm pretty sure about it, since I have been using this computer in a daily basis for the past two years and I know each and every noise that comes out of it.
I would like to ask if any of you know of this problem. I've done a lot of searching in the internet, but couldn't find anything about this noise in particular.
Thanks,
Miguel

Hi, thanks for your suggestion.
Unfortunately, they have made up their mind about this issue. I even talked to the Store Manager, asking for a solution, but he pretty much ignored me saying he had full confidence in his team: if the genius says the noise is 'normal', then there's nothing more to discuss. Full stop.
They just replaced a fan, which didn't solve anything, because the noise is clearly electrical in nature, NOT mechanical. I suspect it's related to capacitor resonance in the graphics card. The display and LED backlight panel seem to be OK, since the noise is not heard when I use the mac in target display mode via the mini-displayport input.
I gave them this information in order to help with the diagnosis, but they didn't even bother to write it down.
So far, the Apple Technical service seems very un-professional to me. I'm stuck with a defective computer for which I've paid 2.000 euros + Apple Care.
Well, in this case, Apple doesn't Care at all. I can't even find an email address where I can submit a written formal complain.

White boarders around artboard when creating pdf in CS4

Hi,
have been trying to find solution for this issue for 4 hours now and im loosing my mind:)) ... so decided to ask some help from you guys.
Problem: im trying to create pdf file with black background in Illustrator cs4 and white thin boarders keep appearing to the right and bottom of the page. I have streched the background image so that its bigger than the artboard but white lines are still there when pdf is opened?!? I guess there is extremeley easy solution for this (kind a "you forgot to tick the box from x menu") but i just cant figure out .... so all the help is most wellcome!!!
Thank you in advance!
Jimi

@ Jacob --- you're half correct, in that it's a small bug, or smoothing artifact in the Preview application from Apple.
White boarders go away when you uncheck "Smooth text and line art" in Preview Preferences, under the PDF tab. Since that makes everything very pixelated, I don't recommend keeping that setting on.
Instead, consider installing Adobe Reader or using Acrobat Pro, where incidentily, the very same phenomonen can occur. In Acrobat Pro, you can also toggle "Smoothing" in the Preferences, Page Display dialog.
TIP: Preview works best with RGB PDFs, whereas if you are doing print production work, I would suggest using either Acrobat Reader, or Pro which is my preference because of the soft-proofing and print production tools.

T530i multiple external displays without dock

Hello all,
I'm having an issue trying to set up a T530i with Intel HD Graphics 400 with multiple external displays. I have searched the forum and not found anything similar, it looks like most people are using docking stations with their configurations which I don't have. Here is what I'm trying to set up.
External + External + Laptop
Currently, I am running a VGA splitter to the External displays. This works as expected, replicating the display on both externals, as Windows only sees the connection as one external display.
My goal and endstate is to have the system recognize and operate as 3 seperate displays (extended desktop).
In my attempt to achieve this, I obtained a Mini Display Port to VGA converter, plugging one external display into each port (VGA and Mini Display port converted to VGA) the system now recognizes the a 3rd monitor, but it will not allow me to extend (or even activate it). I am only able to run 2 screens simultaneously. Whenever I try to activate the 3rd display ("extend desktop to this display") when I hit apply, I get an error message stating "unable to save display settings".
Is there a solution to this where I will be able to run all 3 displays? The only thing I have not tried is using a splitter on the Mini Display port as I do not currently have access to one.

Hi Bret,
This is a user-to-user discussion forum so your frustration needs to be directed at Apple. Unfortunately, there's no word from Apple directly as to why they do not offer multiple monitor support (on their website that I could find).
Regrettably, the next best thing is to reach out via the appropriate feedback section:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
I'm with you, though, the option would be nice.

W520 Disk clicking when docked into mini-dock

When I have my W520 docked into a specific mini-dock, the hard disk will click periodically. However, I when I dock into another mini-dock (same exact model), it doesn't do this. Any ideas of why or what to look for. Why would one mini-dock cause this but not another?

I've just flashed the new BIOS (version 1.30) but the issue still persist. Is Lenovo aware of the issue with USB 3.0 SAS storage attached during system boot?
Since flashing BIOS 1.26 the behavior has changed, I can now see ThinkPad BIOS screen, then Windows 7 start loading and shortly after the Windows loading logo is displayed I get a black screen with "text mode" progress bar like the one displayed when you insert Windows 7 DVD - then I end up with a BIOS screen prompting me to select a boot device. After selecting the primary HDD, it all happens again so I am stuck in a loop (except now it asks if I want to do a system repair).
In 1.30 BIOS changelog it says:
(Fix) Fixed an issue where the computer might not be booted from bootloader program.
Unfortunately, this is probably referring to another issue which is not related to the connected SAS device.
Is there some way to submit this particular issue to Lenovo or is someone already working on resolving it?

White Question Mark instead of White Apple comes up when booting up. Why?

White Question Mark instead of White Apple comes up when booting up.
Hi guys,
It happens regularly on booting up and then booting up stops, and I have to turn the iMac off and turn it back on again, sometimes several times, before getting a regular boot up.
What is that about, and how to avoid it?
Thanks,
Raphael

Thanks.
I just found an Apple article dedicated to that called "Gray screen on startup."
Symptoms
Instead of seeing the Finder or the login window after startup, your computer may stop responding and the display may only show a persistent gray screen (you may also see an Apple logo, spinning gear, spinning globe, prohibitory sign, or a folder with a flashing question mark on it). Note: The below steps may not apply if a blue screen appears during start up.
Products Affected
Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.6, Mac OS X 10.5
Resolution
Note: Some steps below may reset preference settings or registration settings.
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
Start up your Mac.
If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
Perform a Safe Boot
Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.
If the Safe Boot does not work, or the restart after a successful Safe Boot does not work, go to the next section.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility
Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 installation disc (if you have discs with both versions, use whichever is closest to the Mac OS X version installed on your Mac; do not use a startup disc which came with a different Mac or which contains an earlier version of Mac OS X).
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start up your Mac while holding the C key to start from the disc.
Once started from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Utility menu.
Note: If the gray screen issue persists and you can't start from the disc, go to the "Disconnect peripheral devices" section.
In Disk Utility, perform a disk repair of your Mac OS X volume; if no issues are found, perform a permissions repair as well. If issues are found during the disk repair, try repairing again.
After the Disk Utility operations are complete, restart without holding any keys.
If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
Check your cables and power source
Make sure your power cables are secure (especially if you use a desktop Mac). Try a different cable or outlet if possible. If you use a surge protecter, try connecting directly to an outlet as a test.
If you have power-related issues (such as your desktop Mac shutting down or restarting, or room lights dimming when an appliance comes on, consider contacting a certified electrician to check your outlets and electrical wiring).
If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
Remove third-party RAM and internal hardware
Note: Skip this section if only Apple-brand RAM is installed in your Mac.
Remove any non-Apple RAM or other third-party hardware upgrades (such as expansion cards or third-party optical drives or hard drives, if present) to help isolate the issue. This is necessary to get as close as possible to the original factory hardware configuration of your Mac.
If you are not sure which RAM modules or other hardware is Apple or third-party, or if you are not comfortable performing these steps, or if you have a Mac mini, consider contacting an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance. Otherwise, perform these steps before going to the next section.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Open your Mac to access the memory slots. Refer to the User Guide that came with your Mac, or search Apple Support Manuals for a PDF copy of your Mac's User Guide.
Remove any third-party RAM that has been installed.
Reinstall the Apple RAM that came with the computer if available. Note that Mac OS X 10.5 requires 512 MB or more of RAM; Mac OS X 10.4 requires 256 MB or more of RAM.
If your Mac starts up with only Apple RAM installed, contact the vendor of your third-party RAM.
If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
Perform an Archive and Install installation of Mac OS X
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, and you can successfully start from your Mac OS X Install disc as noted above:
Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 installation disc (if you have discs with both versions, use whichever is closest to the Mac OS X version installed on your Mac; do not use a startup disc which came with a different Mac or which contains an earlier version of Mac OS X).
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start up your Mac while holding the C key to start from the disc.
Perform an Archive and Install installation (preserving users and network settings).
After installation, if the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X as a last resort
Important: You should only perform this step after trying all of the above steps. This process will erase all files from your Mac OS X volume. If possible, back up important files first, or use Time Machine. You may be able to connect your Mac to another Mac with a FireWire cable and FireWire target disk mode, in order to try to manually back up files. Alternatively, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
To erase your Mac OS X volume and reinstall Mac OS X:
Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 installation disc.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Startup your Mac while holding the C key to start from the disc.
Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X.
After installing, starting from your Mac OS X volume, and verifying the issue is resolved, you should use Software Update to update to the latest available version of Mac OS X.
Additional Information
If the issue persists after you follow the above steps, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
If the issue only occurs when multiple peripheral devices are connected
If a gray screen appears during start up only when several peripheral devices (that is, USB and/or FireWire devices) are connected, and you don't want to have only one device connected at a time, the issue may be caused by a combination of the peripheral devices.
To illustrate this hypothetically, you may have three USB devices, which we'll call "A", "B", and "C". The issue may be that peripherals A and C have a conflict of some sort, and a gray screen only appears if they both are connected, but not if each one is connected separately. In the above "Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables" section you may have inferred that you have an issue only with device C because it was added after A. To avoid an inaccurate analysis, connect device C to your computer with no other devices. If your Mac has the startup issue with only device C connected, then you know it is the source of the issue. However if your Mac starts up, you have a conflict of devices to work out. To do this add the other devices one at a time with device C connected until your startup issue occurs (restart after adding one device). Repeat this process until you have just the minimum set of devices to produce your startup issue.
What can you do?
You should make sure each device has the latest firmware installed if applicable--check with the manufacturer for more information. You should also check for the latest driver versions, and if necessary install them while started in Safe Mode per above.
If any of the devices requires a separate power source, be sure that power is connected to the device (for example, even if a device appears to be powered when connected via USB without the power cable, connect its power cable).
Try different USB or FireWire cables with each device, as applicable.
If you have a device similar to one of the conflicting devices, try replacing it with another one.
Contact each device manufacturer or the materials that came with the device. for more support information or, if needed, service options.

Creating an Aperture web page from photos the page goes white and nothing displays. Is this a RAM issue?

I have just purchased an iMac 27" 2.7GHZ running OSX 10.7.4 with 4GB RAM (16 GB has been ordered). I am using Aperture 3.3.2. When I attempt to create a web page from photos the page goes white and nothing displays. Is this a RAM issue?

I have resolved the issue....turns out that, in my case, running OSX 10.8.1 with Aperture 3.3.2 was what was required! I was running Aperture 3.3.2 with OSX 10.7.x and had this issue.
I hope this helps someone else as well.
