Why does my screen show all windows when mouse moves

When moving the mouse my display shifts to showing all open windows. Why is this happening all of a sudden?
Have checked Disk Warrior and restarted, but it keeps doing this!

What should be in each spot??
Whatever you use the most. As an example I'm right handed to I set the button on the right to Seconday Button so I can take advantage of the menus available for going back a page, reloading a page, etc., when right clicking.
I use the left button to switch between Applications.
It's just a matter of what works best for you

Why does my screen go all chequered when I load a DVD using apple TV?, why does my screen go all chequered when I load a DVD using apple TV?

Hi, hope someone can help me with this one. I've been using apple TV to connect my Imac and new Phillips smart TV. Until recently there have been no problems. Now when I launch a DVD disk in the Imac, the screen goes chequered, like a chess board, and the Tv shows the same. I've tried with three different DVDs but with the same result. Everything else works fine, music videos play and so too music files.Thanks!

it's by design it's the encryption of the dvd which block it
the same thing would happen if you used remote desktop or some of those solutions
some people repport that VLC player works but that could only be the case if they violate the DRM of the dvd in terms of breaking the encryption

Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one). If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model. If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below.
If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears. If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.

Why does my screen come up dark when I press the camera icon?

Why does my screen come up dark when I press the Camera icon? I can neither take pictures nor look at the photos I have saved.

Doulbe tab the home key to see the task bar. Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them by touching the minus sign. Then reboot the pad by holding the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.
You either have another app open that is using the camera, or you just have too much stuff in memory. The reset process should clear it up.

Why does the screen turn back on when the brightness is turned down?

Hi,
I bought a macbook pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8), and just recently last week when i turn the brightness down to black, after a couple minutes later the screen turns back on. Then when i touch the trackpad then it goes back to black. Is there any way where i can change this setting??? because this didn't happen before and now it just constantly occurs.

Why does my mac mini automatically restart when I shut down?
Seems that some process is calling it back.
If I shut down via the log in screen it turn's off. What gives?
Probably a process in your account and not systemwide.
Go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. BShutdown and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Test.
EDIT: Also, unmount & disconnect all peripherals except Apple keyboard & mouse.

Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Why does my iPad show all my Hotmail folders but each empty except for recently received messages?

Why does my iPad show my Hotmail folders but each is empty except for mail received since I activated my new device?

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Hello deniz aya,
Welcome to Apple discussions..
No, you do not need additional software to view the pic, myspace is just not very mac friendly, as they say ( long time coming) they are working on it.
Myspace pages can be a nightmare, a couple of my friends pages for instance
have been known to crash my Safari beta & when on version S 2.
Try using Firefox as well, the "other" browser they recommend other then Safari
for Mac users, albeit they do not say which version of Safari to use.
Check pages including the one you have an issue viewing the pics on with the http://validator.w3.org/ to get an idea of how poorly coded they are.
Eme '~[ ) 
I just checked my page which has not half the items that other pages use & it Failed validation, 91 Errors, one of my friends pages failed with 490 odd........
Of course I presume you have flash, as mentioned by QuickTimeKirk.
To check, in Safari under the Help menu, click on -> Installed plug-ins.
and check for Flash player.
Under Safari menu, Safari's preferences, Security tab- Web Content: you have Enable Plug-ins checked correct?

Why does my screen show itunes and usb plug

Why does my iphone screen show itunes and a usb plug?

Your phone is in recovery mode. You need to connnect your computer to iTunes and restore.

Why does my iPhone remove all music when I switch on itunes match?

How I usually put music on my phone is to switch on itunes match and download from the cloud the music from my library, then when finished
I switch off itunes match and I am left with the music I wanted. However, if i then put itunes match back on it will wipe all songs, leaving me having to download ~700 songs all over again for the sake of an album or two.
Am I doing this completely wrong? Or is this a common problem?

Instead of switching off iTunes match, switch off the show all music tab just below it.
It will hide all the non downloaded iTunes match songs.

Why does an image in Preview disappear when I move the window from my laptop screen to my external monitor?

I have an external 23" Cinema display connected to my MacBook Pro. When I open a file in Preview, moving it from either screen that it was originally on (laptop>LCD or LCD>laptop), the image disappears or "blanks". Only zooming in on the image will re-display it. Any ideas?

Still investigating this problem.

Why does my screen keep flashing white when I use my front facing camera?

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1. Whenever I use my front facing camera, the footage I take shows a white flash on the screen every second or so. It looks almost like the glare that you get from looking straight into a flashlight. This doesn't happen every time time I film, and when it does, it can easily be solved by stopping and restarting again, but it's still annoying.

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 firefo not remove all files when uninstalled

When I install all versions of Firefox prior to my current version 13 it does not uninstall all files. Why is this allowed? Why are all files not uninstalled when firefox is removed

Hello Mace
when drag the Firefox application to the "Trash" to uninstall Firefox, does not remove your user profile, which includes personal information such as bookmarks, passwords and cookies, to do that see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer#w_removing-user-data-and-settings Removing user data and settings]
is in here ~Library/Application Support/Firefox
also : Firefox also has a .plist file at ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist to remove too
thank you
