Why does my current screen just disappear

Often on any computer I have the new windows on, I'll be typing away or watching a short vedio and the screen just disapears and goes to the tiles screen, if I get back into say my gmail my stuff is saved as a draft but it's annoying. What's up?

Hello valintine,
I see that you are having a problem with your current screen disappearing on your computer. I would like to help with this issue but i need some information.
Can you provide the model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.
What operating system are you using?
How long have you had this issue?

  • Why does the on-screen keyboard disappear once a Bluetooth device has been attached?

    Once I've connected a bluetooth device to my ipad 2, the on-screen keyboard disappears and doesn't return until I re-start the ipad.  I've tried this with both a bluetooth keyboard, as well as with a bluetooth pedal, which will do page up, page down, right and left arrows, etc.

    Reset your phone , you wont lose anything. Hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

  • Why with Mavericks some folders just disappear and reappear randomly for just a few seconds?

    Why with Mavericks some folders just disappear and reappear randomly for just a few seconds?

    Hi Alinc,
    I find that this happens with folders that either have a lot of stuff in them, when there is a lot of large files on my desktop, or when my computer has it's RAM bogged down. I'm guessing it's just a benign performance issue, and so far it hasn't cause me any serous problems except for one folder that constantly take a while to load but I'm not surprised because that folder has 8000+ files and is over 25GB in size LOL.
    If this is still an issue for you, or you folders disappear for so long that it becomes an inconvenience, I would recommend trying the following things:
    1) Save your work and close any open programs, but don't close your Finder folders though. Click the Apple Logo  in the upper left hand corner of the screen, then choose Force Quit. In the windows that comes up select Finder and choose Relaunch. This should force all of your open Finder folders to get refreshed. Please note this is a very brute force operation so it might be the most elegant solution.
    2) A better but less potent thing to try is cleaning up you finder folders. If like me you have hundreds of files in one folder, or there is more than a gigabyte of data in the first level of the folder, then it might be a good idea to clean it up by moving some of those files into subfolders.
    3) This is my favorite fix to try, and I recommend it to almost everyone because it's super easy and has a reasonable chance of improving your computer's performance at least a little bit.
    3.a) Go to Disk Utility, and click on your hard drive.
    3.b) Go to First Aid, and click each of the following one at a time: Verify Disk, Repair Disk, Verify Disk Permissions, and finally Repair Disk Permissions. Each of those actions should take several minutes (3 to 30) to complete on a fast hard drive, so make sure you don't need your computer for any serious work during this time.
    3.c) Once those operations are complete click on your Macintosh HD partition (right below the hard drive you clicked before) and repeat step 3.b.
    3.d) If you have any other connected hard drives or partitions you can do this for them as well. BUT, I don't recommend doing this on any Windows formatted drives, like FAT or NTFS, or your Bootcamp partition — although the First Aid buttons on the Bootcamp will probably be disabled anyway.
    Best,
    Vlad

    Right now (and for quite some time!) the community pages are a real PITA.  Trying to link the two did not bring the nice behavior of the Forums to the Community, but rather brought that stench over here!

    Flame on.  I find the community useless.

    Hey nice, I am logged in.

    Actually not mad, just indifferent.  I figure in a few months I'll hear that it was fixed and maybe I'll go back there.

    Hello Helena.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • I bought my iphone less a month, with a week warranty to be replaced should there be any problem, after a week, while im talking or using any of its softwares, the screen just disappear and i had to restart all over before i can operate it. Please help.

    I bought my iphone on 23 June 2011, a week after the warranty period, I noticed that, each time I am on line or using it's software, the screen just disappear and offline just like that, and I had to re-start my iphone.
    I have been facing this problem numeral times and not sure what is wrong with it.
    Went back to Celcom to report, they asked me to deposit to their technical department and to come back after 2 weeks. (2 weeks) is way too long to wait.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Do you live near an Apple Store? If so, pop in and see a Genius, if they discover a fault they may replace the phone there and then, for free as part of your 1-year warranty.

    Then sometimes my screen goes to full screen without me doing any commands, and I don't know how to get out of it without going to force quit and starting all over. 

    Hi,
    When it goes full screen try moving the mouse up to top right of scren & see if there a double diagonal Arrow to click on.
    On the other see if it's the silly implentation of Spaces/Mission Control/Expose in ML...

  • Why does my Epson printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    reboot the router (and the printer). 
    If still happening, check your router settings.  Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
    The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
    You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.
