Translucent impromptu possible "hacker" message interrupts current session, locks MacBook Pro screen and demands that I restart by holding down the power button of my LapTop to turn it off first. Any thought? Could this be another way to mess with us?

I was listening to a YouTube video on the history of X15 rocket airplanes. All of sudden, out of the blue a translucent back message drops top down, stops the video, locks up my MacBook Pro screen and demands that I restart my lapTop by first holding down my power switch, then turn the lapTop back on. This has never happened to me before. The message was in black & white, and in about 6 languages: English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese. Does any one recognize what this might be?
The Computer turned back on just fine as if nothing had Now I am freeking out that they could be reading my key strokes or something. Could they have used this tactic to install malicious software on my computer by first taking away my ability to do anything about it being that I am not a software engineer? Can any one think of anything simillar? I reported this as a bug to APPLE the regular way, then cleared my Safari cookies, then run software update which returned nothing new as in " your software is up to date at this time."
Can any one please help?

Hi stedman1,
Thank you so much. This seems to make sense to me now. I was freaking out a bit that some hacker could be messing with my MacBook Pro. I will be monitoring this issue from now on as it has never happened before.

I dropped something on my mac and now the screen is messed up. Can this be fixed?

I am a performer and I had a mic on a mic stand in my room while I was practicing. I accidentally moved the wrong way and knocked my mic off of my stand onto my macbook pro and now the screen is messed. I don't really know a lot about computers so I was wondering, if I take my macbook to the apple store will they be able to fix it? Also, If they can fix it, any idea how much it would cost. Thanks!

The repair will be a replacement. It is an expensive repair well into the hundreds of dollars.
Ciao.

13" macbook, My screen will go black if I tilt my screen back, but when I tilt it back forward it goes bright again.

I have an issue with my macbook's screen. When I open up my macbook, everything is fine until I tilt my screen back to a comfortable/useable position. If I tilt the screen more than 80 degrees from my keyboard then the whole screen goes dark. It isn't shutting off, but it instantly dim's the screen to the lowest setting (more or less pitch black). If I tilt the screen back towards the keyboard everything is okay again. I'm really just confused. This doesn't happen everytime I use my computer and sometimes I can get away wtih 90 degrees or so, but the problem seems to be getting worse. Not sure what to do and applecare has expired.

It may even be the screen, no way of knowing for sure until you eliminate one potential cause. At least the inverter is cheap.

The part costs ~$5 on eBay.

I have a macbook 13"screen purchased in 2007; I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adaptor but it does not fit. what kind of adaptor will work for this model?

I have a Macbook, 13" screen, purchased in 2007. I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adapter but it does not fit. Any suggestions?

If you connect yourMacBook using a MiniDVI/HDMI adapter you will need to use external speakers for audio since the pre-2010 MacBooks will only send video through the MiniDVI or MiniDisplay Port . The MiniDVI/HDMI doesn't carry audio and there's no audio plugs on the TV to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If your TV has a DVI input plug you can use a MiniDisplayPort/DVI adapter. Then a DVI cable to the DVI input plug on the TV. The TV will have RCA audio plugs for use with the DVI. Plus DVI gives a sharper image than HDMI.

MacBook Pro screen goes black when video is blown up on the second screen

I'm not sure if this is a problem but when I open up a video in fullscreen mode on my second display, the screen on my MacBook goes completely black and I cannot access anything on the my MacBook until I restore the video to windowed mode. Is there any way I can fix this?
Just to add, I can still see my cursor on the MacBook's screen, but there are no menus or docks on there, and I can see my notifications, but other than that, if I attempt to switch tasks and say open up Safari, the safari window on my MacBook will be black, while the video on the secondary monitor is in fullscreen mode.

Obviously there's a bad connection in there. Best bet is to take it back to the GB and show them how it happens.

The screen is messed up, how do I get it repaired?

I have the 60BG Video IPod, and I believe it needs repairs... A small while back, I was raking leaves while listening to music on it. I just turned it off in my pocket, so I didn't notice anything. Sometime during the next day, when I was going to watch a video, I noticed the screen is messed up. It just looks like someone burned a hole in the display, so nothing comes in correctly. The sound still works, just need to find my way to my sounds blindly... What I think I need to do is get Apple, or whomever, to reaplce the screen, but how do I go about doing so? Where on this site do I go, and what procedures do I go through to do this? I really doubt it's something covered in the warrenty, and I don't really care, I just want to be able to sent it in to get repaired... I want it back to being able to show videos and pictures, instead of it being a 60GB IPod Shuffle...

Two options. You can arrange online service from Apple here.

Or you can try one of the many 3rd party repair sites such as http://www.ipodresq.com/

Using Sears Optical Lens Cleaner to clean my MacBook's screen

Is it alright to be using Sears Optical Lens Cleaner to clean my MacBook's screen? I spray it on a micro-fiber cloth first, of course.

Hi jsnlvy, welcome to macbook forum.
well,.. apple recommend to use slightly water damped micro fiber soft cloth to clean the screen.
I sometimes sprayed lightly water based glass cleaner to that dampen fabric to get rid of stubborn smudge, and after that I use dry cotton ball in circular stroke motion to get rid the streak mark.
I am afraid that the Optical lens solvent is to strong for your screen and might damage your screen. But if you want to try it, dampen the cloth with water first as I did and applied at a small area and check it is safe.
Good Luck.

Cleaning MacBook Pro screens

Does anyone know if it is safe to use Kensington's Screen Guardian to clean a MacBook Pro screen? The product contains: Water, 2-Butoxyethanol and Ethanol. Also can this cleaner be used on an iMac and a iPod Touch screens. Thanks for your help.

Apple recommends against using any cleaner with alcohol or ammonia to clean any LCD screen. Those chemicals may damage the screen coating. The best way to clean a laptop screen is to use a microfiber wipe (such as those sold to clean eyeglasses) or a damp ( not wet) soft lint-free cloth. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3226
Butyl cellusolve, a component of Screen Guardian (according to their material safety data sheet), is neurotoxic among other toxicities, by the way, so I'd avoid it even if it weren't risky on LCDs.

Macbook External Screen Mirror?

Hey guys,
I finally have everything I need to coonect my Sony 40" 1080p television to the macbook. I have a mini-dvi to dvi adapter and a dvi to hdmi cable. I was seeing how it works and when I turn on mirror mode for the display I can see everything that is on the macbook's screen with all the apps open and everything, but when I use mirror mode it does not seem like it is at full resolution. Even though it clearly states 1920x1080. Then, when i get out of mirror mode, it looks picture perfect, but I don't know how to run any apps and I don't see the icons on my desktop. The top apple bar is not their either. All I can see is my blue mac background, even though there are a few programs open on the mac. How can I fix this? Am I doing something wrong? Please help. Thanks

you need to have an external keyboard ,mouse and the power pack connected with the lid closed for it to work as the single screen or replacement screen.
you can also unselect mirror mode and have it as an extended screen. to get anything on it just drag an open window over the side of your macbooks display it should move over to your other screen.
you can set which side in system prefs

Replacing MacBook Air Screen

I think I killed my screen. There is now what looks like a 2 inch wide streak going down the screen starting at the top where the WiFi, bluetooth icons are located. Any idea how much it costs to replace a screen?

Hi,
Try googling the phrase...
Macbook Air Screen replacement
You are looking at around the $400 ( US ) mark.
Regards.
