Why does my screen go blank and only Adchoices advertising show up, all other content is gone?
I open firefox, go to pages that have scrollable content or open sub windows and all content dissapears and only an advertisement shows. I've done a virus scan, malware scan, updated java AND adobe. Still the same.
hello LexiDaddy, can you try the steps described at [[Firefox opens with a transparent or blank window]]. in case this works for you, it would also be interesting which extension caused the issue, thank you!

When I turn my ipod on why does the screen stay blank and then turn itself off?
When I turn my ipod on the normal start up screen appears with the apple logo in the middle, but then after a few seconds the screen goes blank and it turns itself off. It was working fine the other day. I even charged it overnight to make sure that it wasnt because it was out of battery. I dont know what to do, it has over 600 songs on it and around 300 photos, I know that the memory isnt full because I checked the other day and it said I had around 1GB left. I cant do anything on at all because the screen just goes blank and then turns itself off. Please help, thank you
Well, I strongly suspect that a gig isn't quite enough "extra" storage to allow operation.
However, 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 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. It could take well over an hour! 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.
Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
<About NVRAM and PRAM>
<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input. -
whenevenr I call a person sometimes the phone gives me an option of callback and end when I press the callback button the whole screen goes blank and only the upper Taskbar where it shows network provider , time and battery percentage is shown
Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue. -
Why does my screen shake up and down?
My macbook computer screen shakes up and down so severely that it make me lose my place. Sometimes it just suddenly drops the page I'm reading a few inches, as if someone were controlling it remotely and couldn't see what I was reading unless they lowered the screen... This seems to only happen when I am on the internet, and my mouse icon sometimes disappears or goes a little haywire as well, as if someone else were controlling it. When I try to repair the permissions on my HD, I repeatedly get the message:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I also get other remote management error messages as well.
I am being stalked and would like to know if this means my computer is being routinely hacked into through remote management. It seems like it is.
Thanks!Thanks for responding. I tried verifying the disk and both HD icons were error-free, but I can't understand why I have 2 icons for the HD in Disk Utilities. 1 is simply labelled MAC HD and the other is labelled:
Hitachi HTS542516K9SA00 Media
The following was found out about it under INFO:
Hitachi HTS542516K9SA00 Media Type : Disk
Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
Disk Identifier : Media Name : Media Type : Connection Bus : Device Tree : Writable : Yes Ejectable : No Location : Internal Total Capacity : 160.04 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes) S.M.A.R.T.Status: Verified
Disk Number : 0 Partition Number : 0
disk0 Hitachi HTS542516K9SA00 Media Generic SATA IODeviceTree:/PCI0/SATA@1F,2/PRT0@0/PMP@0
Why do I have 2 HD icons when I only have 1 HD? I don't know how to partition anything.
Thanks,

Why does my screen keep dimming and brightening?
I'm just sitting here in front of my fire during a mid-March snow storm in Maine, and my screen keeps dimming and then brightening. It's getting quite annoying. What is going on?
OK, I figured it out - it's the auto brightness adjustment. Found the answer in the pane to the right of my comment.

Why does my screen keep flashing and then turn black when I use the marquee tool?
When I bring up a photo to work on and i try to draw circle or square with the Marquee tool my screen flashes black and then stays black until I use the move tool?
This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

Why does iphoto screen go grey and a spinning wheel in the middle of the page and nothing else
can someone tell me why i always get a spinning wheel in the middle of the page and nothing else when trying to open iphoto
Either the program, the iPhoto Library or the iPhoto preference file is hosed.
First thing is first, backup your user file folders to a external hard drive and disconnect.
The easiest (and most likey the cause of your issue) to fix would be the iPhoto preference file
iPhoto preference file fix
Look in your /Users/Library/Preference for a file like
com.apple.iphotopreferences.plist
or
com.apple.iphoto.plist
and delete it and reboot, restart iPhoto and re-enter your preferences.
If your on OS X Lion, your going to have to use the Finder's "Go To" to get to the Library as it's hidden as in Snow Leopard it's not.
Reinstall iPhoto
If that doesn't resolve your issue and your on Lion, you can redownload the iLife software from the MacAppStore and simply reinstall it, which will overwrite iPhoto and fix it.
If your on Snow Leopard you reboot holding c from the 10.6 grey installer disks (only) that came with your comptuer and simply reinstall OS X 10.6 which will reinstall iPhoto (the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk doesn't have iLife)
If you purchased iLife from the boxed set, then reinstall it.
If you had iLife from 10.5 and your on 10.6 or 10.7, or got it free with 10.6 and now on 10.7, then your going to have to wait until you try the next step (then extract iPhoto from the installer disk using Pacifist or purchase iLife)
Rebuild iPhoto Library
If that doesn't resovle your issue you can right click (or control click) on the iPhoto Library and "Show Package Contents" inside will be a folder with all your original photo's. Copy these out and move the iPhoto Library out of the Pictures folder and rename it (if you can) so iPhoto can't find it.
Then restart iPhoto and see if it creates a new iPhoto Library, then simply import the pictures from the copy you made.
If it fails to work after this, there is a corrupted picture in your iPhoto, you'll have to repeat the same process with importing a few pictures at a time until you can locate the corrupted ones. -
Why does the screen shut off and I have to re enter my password after a few seconds?

Why does my screen turn blue and lock up the computer?
Screen randomly turns blue, I have to restart the computer to get it back up.
Your newer mouse has a scroll wheel plus keys on the side. Those keys on the side activate screen features in the default configuration, so when you unwittingly squeeze or touch the sides of the mouse, windows can move around, you are activating Expose (a feature that lets you see many windows at once).
Go to System Preferences, select Mouse. You can turn OFF those side buttons (which will stop the behaviors you noticed) or assign them to other functions. You can also configure other features of the mouse to your liking.
The old mouse doesn't have these extra buttons so you don't have the problem with it. -

iPhone 4 screen remains blank and only the apple logo appears on and off when connected to mains or PC. Only on mains occasionaly proceeds to display IOS 6 logo and a slide sign to start recovery which proceeds to an instruction to connect to iTunes. Hwever, as soon as disconnected from mains (in order to connect to the PC) screen goes totally blank again. On connecting to PC the Apple LOGO starts appearing intermittently but does not proceed to display IOS 6 LOGO. I have recharged overnight and followed resetting instructions as per the iPhone support page. Any suggestions (short of taking it to a service centre) ?did you get any help regarding the problem?? because even i have the same problem!!! guess it all started after updating to iOs 6

Why does the screen on my iPad mini start jumping--larger, smaller--can't close apps. I reboot and still it happens. Any suggestions?
If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, 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 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 you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -

why does the mac pro (late 2013) only support up to 60Hz at 1080p? TV screens are pretty much all >120Hz. So much for future proof.
