Woud like to find out if other people are having backlighting problems?

I am now on my THIRD Macbook Pro 17" return because of faulty construction/quality control, including crooked keys, etc. The biggest problem I have experienced on every single one is that the monitor backlighting is uneven. Since I do video and photo editing for a living, I expect my Macbook PRO to have a professional display - this latest one is slightly brighter on the bottom 1", and has a few slightly dark splotches on the lower right. If anyone does pro photography, you can understand how this is unacceptable.
I would like to know if others are experiencing this, and why it keeps on recurring? My old Powerbook Titanium had a perfect display..in fact, perfect everything (it got stolen, unfortunately). Is Mac using cheaper suppliers for their LED screens and other parts? Is their quality control not what it used to be? If so, the price does not reflect that! My girlfriend has a cheap Sony 17" that has a perfectly backlit monitor.
I don't mean to rant; however, I'd love to find out if there are others with this problem, and if it's at all fixable? After three returns, I'm beyond frustrated.

I think I've figured out what the problem might be behind the uneven backlighting. Because the screen is so insanely thin and the super thin aluminum is so insanely bendable (compared, at least to the awesome titanium that they used to use about five years ago), there is uneven pressure on the screen itself.
By applying pressure behind the screen (to the actual aluminum top) I am able to make the subtle dark spots that I am seeing appear wherever I apply pressure, as long as it is about halfway down the screen (which is where the problems are occuring, all in the bottom half).
The solution for the problem would be to either get a computer that's made well enough so that the pressure is even (i'm not holding my breath on that one - sorry!), or to take it in to get serviced and have them make sure the pressure is even, somehow.

Using powershell to find out how many people are using the on-prem SkyDrive

Hi
Is there a way of using powershell to find out how many people are using the on-prem SkyDrive?
Thank you.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use PowerShell to find out the users who use the on premise SkyDrive.
As this is the forum for SharePoint Server, I recommend you post your question to the forum for PowerShell or SkyDrive.

Is there a way to find out what other devices are using my apple ID?

I have recently discovered that someone is purchasing apps on using my apple id account i have managed to view a statement through the Mac computer but that only tells me what the purchase is, how many there are and how much it totals to. I wanted to know whether there was a way to find out what device i.e. iphone or ipad they are being purchased from? any help would be great!

i am but i have looked though their apps on their device and they have no downloaded some of the apps that have been purchsed on my account?

I just switched to FF3.6.4 from IE. While my gmail pulls up fine, the Calendar does not load. I get an error page telling me that I need to enable cookies, but they are enabled. On the google website other people are documenting this problem as well.

I am having this problem on Windows 7 running Firefox 3.6.6. Gmail opens fine, but when I click calendar I get an error page open in a new tab which says:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

Ok I know people are having this problem. I updated to the latest version of iPhoto and now I get the following: "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable". Can someone please point me to a fix?

This is super frustrating.
I tried to uninstall iPhoto and all related files and then reinstall but I keep getting the same result.
I have spent hours trying to fix this and nothing seems to work. I am pretty good with computers so I think this requires some expert help. I notice many people are stuck with this problem. Do I have to go and buy the disk from the store? How ironic that I was updating the software online so I could use photostream. Now the solution may be I need to go back to the "old school" way of doing things. Lucky I don't have a mac airbook. Lol.

Re-installing the app is unlikely to help because the problem is with the Library and not the application.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I am having the same problem (lost in back-up purgatory) on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad2. I am running Windows XP.
I have tried everything I've seen suggested on various support communities, with no success.
I have gotten used to having to find a windows workaround everytime Apple updates iTunes, and this time it is especially frustrating.
I don't have any solutions, and I am responding to all of these types of messages in hopes of finding something that will work for me.
One person was able to work through it by deleting all of the previous iTunes backup files. I'm trying that now. 4 hours into it, and it does not seem to be working......

Can I find out how many people are subscribed to my RSS feed?

Just curious - I don't want to know who they are, or spam them - I'm just wondering about a count.
--drkenfp

There is no way to do this with the default RSS feed URL and iTunes, unfortunately. If you really want to see stats on your subscribers and stuff, you will need to translate your RSS feed to something like FeedBurner and then advertise that URL instead of the iWeb RSS.
Here is an example of my feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/dirtdoog
There are lots of stats available through FeedBurner... http://www.feedburner.com

After i downloaded Firefox 7, I cannot open more than one page at a time. I have done everything you suggested about ad-on, etc. Other people are having problems. Can I get reall help with this or should I just reload Firefox 4?

Firefox 7 is a dud. Cannot open more than one tab at a time, will not open additional pages. Nothing you suggested has worked.
Can I take down Firefox 7 and reload Firefox 4?
I need to talk with a live person! I am real disappointed with this.

Sorry there is no telephone support. You could try the IRC if you want a quick response, ( whilst it is [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ask open] )
Firefox 4 is not supported, but firefox 3.6 is
* see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
There is a change to a preference which may help, post back with more details of your problems please.

My hard drive is full, i'm being told i have 284.03 GB of other. How can I find out what these files are so i can delete them?

My Mac is telling me that my hard drive is almost full, i have used 7.65 GB for Audio. 16.58 GB for Movies, 9.89 GB for photos, 788.6 MB for Apps and 284.03 GB for Other. how can i find out what "other" is so I can delete it? I hope someone can help me.

If OS X is reporting you need to remove some items you obviously have a more severe issue.
To fix your issue is likely too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here as it sounds like a OS X issue, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
If your under warranty or AppleCare, take it in for service.
You can also hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
Have them look at your Wifi, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
Good Luck.

I doubt you'll get an answer in a user forum, sorry. This forum is meant for users to help other users when they have problems that have to be solved. You should contact Adobe itself.

My Macbook is running on OS 10.5.8. However, I forgot my admin password. I would like to find out if I can use OS 10.6 CD to reset the admin password while upgrading OS? Also, will all my files be still present after upgrade??

1. Should be possible to do that; go to the Utilities menu and select 'reset password' before starting the installer. (while booted from the DVD of course)
2. Standard installation of SL only replaces system components; applications, user data and preference settings should not be affected.
3. But you do have a backup just in case, don't you?
