Am I the only one having trouble reading MacBook Pro Webpage?

Hello everyone,
Posting more out of curiosity if anyone agrees that the MacBook Pro webpage linked from the Apple Home Page is terribly hard to read?
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/
The faint text as one scrolls the page is near impossible to read as one scrolls down the page.
At first I thought that perhaps this was designed to be read by users not using CRT displays....but I can't imagine even on a TFT display that it is readable.
What were they thinking? I love the striking look of the black background but the text design/color makes no sense to me.....
Not trying to bash Apple site designers, as I have always been very impressed with the classic designs that I have seen....but this black background with white text trend seems very poorly planned.
Is it just me?

re: "that gray is way two dark two be on black"
David,
You are correct, I should have said "gray" and not white. I perceived the gray to be white, but just fading into the black when, of course, it's grey on black!
I'm glad you posted that.
I'm really surprised that the designer would feel that that made any sense to do the layout that way.
Strange.......
best,

    I am having all kinds of trouble with the apps store. Am I the only one?

    No problems here... I am redeeming codes and downloading apps for my organzation right now.

  • Am I the only one having trouble with netflix on iPad?  When I type in a movie title to search, I get a message that there is no such title.  It's a well known title -- Annie Hall.  Same with other woo

    I wanted to say that I can't find any Woody Allen movies on Netflix on my iPad, but can on my computer.  (I don't think the new netflix ap for iPad works as well as the older one.)  Am I doing something wrong?

    Annie Hall is available on DVD only.
    It is not available for streaming and I believe movies available for streaming are the only movies available with the Netflix app on an iOS device.

  • Am I the only one with a Perfect Macbook pro??

    ok, so i had kernal panics, opted for a repair instead of a replacement. got it back three days after i sent it out. They replaced the logic board and its been rock solid ever since. I get no whine at any time, no matter how small. It constantly runs at about 95 degree F, my screen is bright and amazing, and BOTH speakers have clear, crisp sound. My battery runs at about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours on everage, and it always wakes up from sleep, never shuts down randomly. I am so happy, best 2300 i've ever spent. I still constantly read about problems with wireless connections and faulty airport cards, mine work perfect. Is there anyone else out there that is completely 100% happy with their macbook pro. because i can't say enough grea tthings about mine.

    Mine's nice too, although I've only been using it for four hours. I may have a different opinion later.
    Even Windows works pretty well on it. It warms up faster than my 12" Powerbook (almost immediately) but keeps at that level a lot better (whereas my Powerbook occasionally spikes 10 or 15 degrees up and takes a long time to cool off).
    Only problem I've had is a weird sleep thing which might be user error. I made another thread about it.

  • TS1702 Renewed my subscription with the Sun app, was charged £0.69 but app won't load seem that I am not the only one having issue with this app. How can I claim my money back?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • I have the iPhone 4S. Since I updated to the iOS 6 my phone keeps freezing and the apps crash all the time. Sometimes it freezes up to a minute. And there's no way of fixing that. Is apple going to fix this? I'm not the only one having this problem.

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

  • Poor GPS reception in IPhone 3GS, am I the only one having this problem ?

    Since I have many problems with GPS drop outs and poor signal strength errors when using navigation software for Iphone 3GS firmware 4.0.2.
    First I reset my Iphone completely and installed all apps from scratch, but this has not solved my problem.
    I now tried several tests to compare with both an Android phone HTC Desire and a very old Symbian phone Nokia E65. Neither the Nokia E65 or HTC Desire have any drop outs in the GPS reception while my Iphone has several dropouts, making navigation horrible.
    Am I the only one having this problem ?

    Unfortunately, you are not the only one (I personally use TomTom with car kit). This is one of the numerous bugs introduced by iOS4 and this one has been reported by many in this forum. Be careful not to use your iPhone based navigation system in a foreign country, due to high roaming costs ! I had to use it and nearly had an heart attack when reading the invoice.
    Apple doesn't care. Unfortunately, I have to care for my budget.

  • Am I the only one having problems with ringer volume since the update?

    Am I the only one having problems with ringer volume since the update?? I'm hard of hearing and before updating to IOS7 I could hear my alarm and ringer just fine. Volume is turned up all the way and I've chosen the loudest sounds I could and still having a difficult time hearing.

  • Am I the only one having issues  Resound Linx?

    Am I the only one having issues with my iPhone 5S and Resound Linx?  Apparently it states in the brochure that it supposed to be high qualitiy sound, and  work great with the iPhone. I am having issues, I have to disconnect my iPhone to accept a standard landline at home or work.   Secondly it takes a few seconds to connect the ringing of the cell into the hearing aids which I either loose the call by missing it or have to connect it. It's unfortunate that Apple didn't take into consideration of having the cell ring right into a persons hearing aids like one of there competitors. Furthermore whomever wrote the brochure has clearly lied  it's not true what is stated in the Resound Linx around the steaming quality, and iphone connection!!

    Given my personal experience with both the ReSound LiNX and Starkey Halos paired with my iPhone, i can confirm that the interplay between both hearing aids and the iPhone is far from perfect. However, I don't think it is more Apple's problem than it is ReSound or Starkey. Apple has developed technical and programming interfaces to work with a large universe of Bluetooth devices. Consequently, the responsibility for connecting really relies on the device manufacturers to craft devices that meet the connectivity standard as it is defined. That hearing aids experience struggles there doesn't surprise me. The miniaturization of circuitry and the functionality they can pack into very small devices is astonishing.....but also leads to compromise as any other micro-miniature device would have compromises.
    My more immediate concern for you is that you have been told that you must disconnect your hearing aids from your iPhone before answering a land line handset. That doesn't sound right.

    Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

  • IPad take FOREVER to charge and Apps take FOREVER to download. Am I the only one having this problem?

    I bought my iPad I'd say about a year ago and this problem has been happening the moment I bought it. I can have the iPad charging all night long and still it doesn't fully charge. I took it to the Apple store a little over a month after I bought it and they ran some tests on it and said everything was fine that maybe it was just the iPad charger so he gave me a new iPad charger but that didn't help whatsoever.
    The other problem I'm having is that when I download Apps on my iPad they seem to take years to download. This can't be my wifi as I have other Mac products and an iPhone that downloads App just fine within seconds.
    Is all of this an iPad issue other people are having? Or am I the only one cursed?

    You need to reopen that case file for your initial problem and get that resolved. That's the first thing.
    The second thing (the download times) can easily be checked out while you are at the Apple Store (as a test you do yourself). Find a couple of large apps (like maybe approaching 1 GB) in which you don't have any personal data in them, and delete them from your iPad. Then redownload them and see how long it takes at the Apple Store.
    If it's quick and normal at the Apple Store, then you've got so,e problem with the iPad working right with your home WiFi, and you'll have to sort that out. If it's just as slow at the Apple Store, then you can open up case file on that issue while you are still in the Apple Store.

  • Am i the only one having a wifi gray out after updating to ios 8?

    Am i the only one???

    I'm sure you are not. With half a billion iOS devices in use, no matter what issue you have there's sure to be someone else who has it. But how does knowing that help you?
    See: iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim for help.

  • I can't be the only one having this Finder issue: Finder stops responding and requires relaunch about every third time I open it.

    I have a brand-new MBAir, but I actually noticed this starting many months ago, on my MBPro running Snow Leopard. I've repaired Permissions numerous times, run Onyx and performed all of the scans and checks (everything checks out fine), and otherwise have no problems at all with my system. It's just this constant need to relaunch the Finder, especially after downloading a dmg. In-between these episodes it seems to behave normally.
    I though it was a Snow Leopard problem, and was hoping it would be gone with Lion, but, alas--no such luck.
    I've searched through the discussions and support docs and haven't found anything similar--can I possibly be the only one with this weird issue? I've been a Mac User for over 20 yrs, and can't say I've ever seen this particular problem before....Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!

    OK, Tony--did that. I noticed that it had a creation date of 2009. Wouldn't a new OS create new plist files, or do all of the old ones just migrate over from the previous OS? Interesting....
    Anyway, I'll just have to wait and see if it happens again--shouldn't have to wait too long--LOL. I'll post back with an update ASAP.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Tech support said I was the only one having issues!

    Verizon,
    How can you possibly say no one has complained or had similar issues with this phone when I come to this site to discover that hundreds of people have posted complaints?  I have had major issues with my LG revolution since I have got it and have constantly been told it is a software issue and the next software update will fix it, guess what no software upgrade has ever fixed any issue.  Freezing up, random restarts, never receiving/sending some text messages, claiming it must just be my phone when everyone I know with this phone has issues, short battery life, just to name a few issues and then when I call to say I want a different phone because this phone is not acceptable I receive RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
    As my family has been loyal Verizon customers for many years this is blatantly not acceptable.  These are issues I have never had with any other phone from your provider and now all of a sudden this particular phone will not send texts and not receive others intermittently?  This is a service issue and a device issue!  I don't care how you fix it, but I want it fixed!  Before a service rep reply's to this saying "download the newest software as LG has addressed the issues in it", I have and (surprise) it did not fix anything!  As a loyal customer for many years I want a phone that works.  When my alarm doesn't go off because my phone is frozen causing me to miss class or work that's an issue.  Before you tell me well it may just be your individual phone why don't you look through this forum at the number of people that are having the SAME issues on their 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th phones!  I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER LG REVOLUTION I NEED A PHONE THAT IS RELIABLE.  I spent a large amount of money on this phone expecting it to be a reliable cell phone, this is not what I expected.  Every time I have gone to Verizon to get my phone fixed or traded in I am told that they need to see the issue occurring at that exact time, how can I do that when many of the issues are intermittent? 
    With so many people on here having so many issues with this phone how can you simply ignore this problem?  Switch my phone for another phone of equal or lesser value PLEASE I would love to choose something else other than this phone.  If an issue isn't resolved I assure you when my contract is up I will be switching to a different provider causing your company to lose a lot more money in the long run than if you switch out my phone, and as I am sure I'm not the only person thinking this be ready to lose a lot of customers over not resolving an issue with an incompetent phone.

    Hello
    I did exaclty as VW told me to do regarding this phone.  It locked up, again, I drove to the store and the Manager tells me it is my fault becuase of apps or something I am doing.  VW needs to understand that as a Customer I purchase a product to use.  They advertise them to be used.  I also understand that I am a sucker for staying with VW.  OR it could be the early termination fee that bugs me for a Phone that I can't use.  If there is one App that is a common app that does not work, then all the similiar issues would be an easy fix.  The Manager forgot to ask me about the prior tech support--   this is a phone I have reset 3 times with 2nd tier service.  I have removed every app.. I have installed one app at a time over a period of a month.  The random freezes and lock-ups are never the same.  Today's freeze of the day was the slide lock--no longer worked.  The LG Revolution is the problem.  Now, I try not to make calls on it--so that is does not drop them.   I have removed every app for several weeks and had more lock-ups than if I have apps iinstalled.  The problem with this phone is not the Apps, it has a memory leak, or a design flaw.  I have my calls fowarded to a different phone just so I dont have to have the phone freeze during a conversation. 
    Today was the last straw--It will be replaced, but not replaced by anything other than a LG Revolution.  This is my 3rd replacement. 
    If you were lucky to read this post and have an LG Revolution that works--that is wonderful!!
    For me, this phone has been a reason to leave Verizon.  I just can't believe after following their instructions, I am told it is my fault, and no we will not give you any credit towards a new phone.  I was asking for a$50-100 bucks off a new phone...
    I pay hundreds of dollars each month for the last 10 years and this is what I get for my money.
