My retina display has shadows from previously opened programs

The retina display on my 13" Macbook Pro is stained from a previous opened program. I frequently work with MO Word and I recently realised it has a shadow on my display. It's a perfect match with the Word's layout, as it has "printed" its image on the screen. It's really light but undoubtedly there. How to reset or restore it?? Please help!!

Hi Userless, 
What you are referring to is image persistence. That is something that can happen depending on use, but will go away over time with general use. Take a look at the article below for some suggestions to prevent that from happening in the future.

  • Ipad 2 shows 'shadows' from previous open apps

    When I close an app after using it for a while, I still can see that it leaves 'shadows' on the screen.
    I opened safari and tried to take some pictures from the problem. Here they are:

    I don't know if you can see it.. but the white area where you type the websites URLs are still visible even at the homescreen, after I closed the app

    I've recently just noticed I've got the same issue, im pretty sure it wasn't there before as I would have noticed it, but this is the first time I've see it. It does seem to fade away after a while. But would like to know what the problem is. Doesn't seem to be any answers or related issues online anywhere either
    Anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it?

  • New iMac with Retina display has attracted a group of ants. Why?

    New iMac with Retina Display has attracted a group of ants to nest in it, while they ignore my old Macbook Pro. What is in the new laptop that attracts the ants? The Apple Support set me up with an appointment at an Apple Store and the Apple Store says it is Apple policy not to touch it with the Ants in it. Wasted 2.5 hours in travel time and in the store with no solution.

    Its the electrical charges that attract them, they sense them as other critters to eat / talk with 
    the swarm of tiny DC power fields inside a computer, and the charges across the screen attract insects that have EM sensors on their exoskeletons. Its a come hither spotlight for insect critters.

    If you want them out, which of course you do.......make a sugar trap for them.... a trail from the computer to a little pile.  One screams the treasure to the others, .....they all come running, then you brush them away, or some other insidious method.

  • My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.

    My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.Only the white screen with the apple logo will appear. This comes and goes randomly. I've tried resetting by holding the front and top buttons. I've also tried resetting using itunes. Neither had any effect, The Ipad was a christmas present and only worked for several hours, the apple store can not look at it for another week. Is this a common occurance? I thought apple products were expensive because they never had problems.

    Call Apple and explain as it is new. They will go over things to try and fix over the iPad over the phone. If they need to fix it they should send you a new one and you put the old one in thePrepaid return box they send you and send back the defective iPad for no cost. This is what they did with my first iPad 1st gen. I had. Unless they changed their policy you will get the box within a day or two and have your replacement for it the same day.
    I hope how they helped me is the same for you.  Good luck.

  • Macbook pro retina display has pinkish tint?

    I have bought a  macbook pro 15.4" with retina display.Everything is good but the screen.When I had a white wallpaper , then I saw the pinkish tint on the left and the normal white on the right, specially in the evening or in low light.How can I fix this? I went to the Apple care center but they said that it was normal. I tried the calibration in color setting but I found it very difficult.
    Doesn't any one else have the same problem?  How to fix that? If you have the calibrated icc profile for this problem please share with me.Thanks!

    Hi Rzeng123, Thanks for sharing. I also sent my MBPR for second time LCD replacement. But I have no confidence with apple now I am pretty sure I will end up with a second YELLOW screen just like you.I bought my mac in London, but I am right now in Singapore there is no apple store only got reseller and authorized service centre. So I can only send my mac to the authorized service centre for repair. Luckily the manager is not blind as yours but they keep telling me that this kind of obvuous yellowish screen has no problem and it is perfect within specification. So he refused to help me change again at first until I speak to a senior apple advisor through phone call( I have spoken to apple technique support for three times before I finally speak to this "useful senior guy".) The manager in the service centre agreed for a second replacement and as he said before no guarantee.  I don't understand why Apple didn't draw attention to this issue. U and me are not the special cases. I did reserch online before I took my mac for repair people were complaining the same problem as we are. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1561150
    As for calibration, this is useless for my machine I have tried to adjust the color.May be I will try after I get my second replacement.  Like u said every apple staff are trying to convince us this yellow screen is normal, if it was why the devices sold in store are not yellow ? They service mananger even told me that those sell in store now are the first batch of manufacturing and they are actually with defects but this yellow one are the second batch with improvement and it is better than the white on
    I also take my mac to a retail apple store for comparison just like the picture shown below the left one is a normal retina display and the yellow one on the right is my poor mac.

  • Ipad mini with retina display has really slow and laggy streaming but very high download speed

    I just got my ipad mini with retina display yesterday. The regular internet works fine as far as I can tell. I tried streaming video from watch espn, netflix, and youtube, and all three apps were so slow I couldn't watch anything. I have a high download speed too, it is 15 Mbps. I tried turning off the QOS engine in my router, and my download speed was up to 30 Mbps, and I still had the same terrible streaming quality. I tried changing the DNS as well, and this did nothing. I tried doing all the restarting and other "quick fixes," and nothing seems to work. Can anybody help me?

    I requested your post be moved to the iPad forum. This is the Mac Mini desktop forum

  • My iPad mini with retina display has blue edges?!

    Similar to what I heard about the new Kindle HDX 7 to my dismay, my iPad mini with retina display that I drove an hour to pickup at the closest Apple store  has an extremely noticeable blue tint on the top of the screen. Also ever so slightly on the right hand side. Anyone else have this? Am I being too picky? Will the apple store replace this? I paid Apple's premium price so I feel it should be perfect.

    Yeah it's definitely not normal. I was thinking I'm not waiting 5 days for a replacement so I drove an hour back to the Apple store and got a replacement. The Apple employee was very helpful and could clearly see the blue hue. I ended up switching to a white model to change it up, and because they had zero 32gb black models. I love the white it makes it feel totally newer versus my old black non retina mini. So moral of the story, don't settle for blue backlight bleeding. This new one has NONE and I'm 100% satisfied!!

  • Does MBP Retina display has any International Warranty?

    Hi everybody,
    My Sister and his family in the US are thinking of getting me a MBP with Retina display (mainly because it's cheaper in the US than in Asia).
    I am of course very happy, but I also have a huge doubt: I live in India so wanted to know is there any International Warranty for 1 year so that if I face any kind of technical difficulties I can check it out in India?
    Please let me know...Its urgent!
    Thanx..:)

    Yes.

  • My new macbook pro retina display has loose keys on keyboard

    i purchased a new macbook pro 13" retina display and upon unboxing noticed a few keys were loose and flimsy.i contacted apple south africa and they are repairing it but my disappointment started with the bad customer service i received and the long time i am waiting to get my unit repaired- the company is still waiting for spares.is this a common fault with brand new macbooks? how long do repairs usually take? does apple train their staff on how to deal with such situations and with the clients?

    Hey i bought a 2015 macbook pro retina 13'' as well, are mainly ur arrow keys loose/wobbly? i may have this issue too but am not sure if this is supposed to be normal or not.

  • My screen displays a shadow from left to right, being darker on the left and brighter on the right. Any advice about how to change this would be appreciated.

    My screen from the moment it starts any program appears to be shaded from left to right. The left hand side of the display appears to be darker than the right half of the screen. Can someone please advise what I can do to alter this. Have I pressed something I shouldn,t have? Or is there a problem with my display?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Does not sound too healthy! You should take it to the Genius bar in the Apple store. May need the hardware looked at...
    It's most probably a backlight issue. Take some piccys of it while it isnt working now!!
