Why do I get some kind of checkerboarding across my display and then a freezeup?

on occasion I get some kind of an odd what I'd call "Checkerboard" on and about my display.  It does NOT affect my TV when I'm using it as an outboard 2nd display but on the built in only.  Occasionally this ends with the system locking up and I have to reset using the power button.  Yesterday it must have taken 4 or 5 resets to finally get things to settle down.

  • Why do i get a run time error box pop up and then close itunes when I search in the iTunes store?

    Wnen i search in the itunes store, a ren time error pops up and then closes my itunes. why is it doing this? I have to go thru power search to get around the problem and is not as convenient. thanks, Jamboy72

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Can anybody help?!

    First correct the pirate disc issue. Buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard from Apple for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is the latest version your macbook 1,1 will run. Oitlook is part of the Microsoft Office suite, if you want outlook you'll need to also purchase Office. If you can get by with Apple's mail program there are free alternatives to Office like Libre Office or Open Office.

  • Can we get some kind of effect for iphone lock screen???

    i'm looking into changing my lock screen. i would like to get some kind of effect instead of the plane lock screen that we already have. any suggestions if any and possible to do???

    Switch now, don't wait. You sound like you are more of a Android OS type user (a rooted Android device at that) and Apple is probably never going to make the changes you want. You definitely do not want to look at Windows 8 mobile which is even stodgier than iOS.
    Good luck with your Android device.

    Have you the latest version of iTunes installed on your computers? Sometimes it is a matter of agreeing to the (new) terms and conditions. If all else fails, uninstall iTunes and then re-install it.

  • External Callers occasionally get "Sorry, I didn't get that. Please enter a Conference ID and then press #"

    Cisco Phone System with Lync Server 2013 CU4
    I now have two instances where a recurring meeting of 17 callers where some external callers get:
    They dialed the number and get the response “Welcome to the Audio Conferencing Center.  Please enter a conference ID followed by #”
    They typed the conference code, it waited about 15 seconds then replied with “Sorry, I didn’t get that.  Please enter a Conference ID and then press #”
    this lasts about 10 minutes, then folks can get into the conference.
    This audio file matches what occurs if you call the Conferencing Center and then do not press any buttons.  That makes me think that DTMF are not arriving from the Cell Phones.  This is a weekly meeting that works most of the time.
    Any ideas where I should look?

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen only for this Lync meeting or for all Lync meetings? Please create another recurring meeting with the same 17 callers to test if the issue happen again.
    It may the issue of because the PSTN Conference ID mapping is orphaned in your SQL database. Therefore, Lync Server 2013 cannot find the Conference ID.
    You can refer to the link about how to repair the issue below:

  • When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

    I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

  • HT3775 I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0.  I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards.  I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?

    Hi James,
    I am listening to embedded training files on the Quick Time player (I think). They cannot be copied to protect the information.  You only have the option of listening.   I used to be able to click on the Q in the audio strip and it would provide a diagonal arrow and this would allow me to expand the bar to a full screen. I then had the bar which would allow me to navigate in case I wanted to listen again or in case I wanted to move forward.  After my upgrade, I can no longer expand the strip to a full screen with the adjuster.  Now I have not chance to take a break in listening to these audios and most of them are at least an hour long.  Thanks for your help.

    have an ipod and then got the wife an iphone4. all passwords are screwed up. she can not access playstore cuz she doesn't have password. i can not get find any help on how to get or update a password for the ipod. and then get her a separate password for her iphone. we need to save her photos, music, etc to ? icloud and the phone stuff to verizon cloud? so when she gets her new Iphone6 she can have all her "stuff" back on the new phone. hope this makes sense. please offer suggestions here or at [email protected] thanks for your help!

    Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.
