A cloudy spot appeared on the center of my iMAC, how could I get rid of it?

After turning my IMAC on for about 30 minutes a cloudy spot appeared right at the center of my display, it's about 2 palm size of iregular shape. How can i get rid of it?

If you are still under warranty or have Apple care, you should have your machine examined by Apple.   It is not unusual but it is covered.   The exact reasons vary but do not be deterred by talk about environmental issues, unless you are a very heavy smoker, that is.   It is not advisable for non technical people to remove the glass screen however easy some may suggest it is; that's what a warranty is for.

  • I deleted the 4oD app from my iPad but it still appears in the list in Settings. How do I get rid of that? It is causing problems when they issue updates as it apparently thinks I still have it when I don't.

    Can any one help me get rid of a deleted app 4oD that still appears in the Settings list. I deleted it from the home screen and Spotlight search confirms it has gone. It is causing problems because I get notified of updates and I cannot get rid of them either. I have tried re-downloading via my MacBook because there isn't a download option from the iPad (App Store clearly think I still have it when I don't) then deleting again but the listing in Settings remains.
    It is really irritating me.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried deleting the App within the Settings menu (rather than from the Home Screen)?
    Settings>General>Usage>
    From the Apps list, find the App (press "Show all Apps" if the app is not in the immediately shown list), tap on the app you wish to delete, then tap "Delete App"

  • What is the bar that appears at the top of pages and how do I get rid of it?

    Whenever a page is showing on the screen, a bar appears at the top of the page with a lot of squares ending with a square that says "diagnose." It sometimes causes a printing problem when the document prints out so small that you can't read it.

    It sounds like some kind of advertising. Often behaviors that affect multiple sites are caused by an add-on, particularly an extension. You may want to review your extensions on the following page and disable ALL nonessential extensions.
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    After restarting Firefox, is the bar gone?

  • HT2513 In my iCal, "new reminder" does not appear in the menu under "File". How can I get reminders to show up on my iCal

    In my iCal, "new reminder" does not appear in the menu under "File". How can I get reminders to show up on my iCal?

    If you're running Mountain Lion (10.8.3), reminders is now a separate app.  Launch reminders from your applications group and you will be able to access File>New Reminder.

  • I'm running OS 10.6.8.  A file (C1EC7F00) has appeared and can't be trashed.  How can I get rid of it?

    I'm running OS 10.6.8.  A file (C1EC7F00) has appeared and can't be trashed.  How can I get rid of it?

    Where has it appeared?
    You can forcibly remove it via the terminal..this will bypass flags/permissions preventing you from deleting it.
    sudo rm -rf /path/to/file/C1EC7FOO
    Note that the path to file needs to be the actual path. What you do is type sudo rm -rf , then just drag the file right into terminal and the path will be entered. Make sure there is a space between "-rf" and the "path." Make sure you copy the exact command and path to file. Make sure NOT to hit Return before you drag the file into terminal if you choose the latter method. This is a dangerous command if used improperly. Very effective, though, in cases such as yours.
    Once entered, hit return. Enter your password. Type "exit." Close Terminal.

  • Before opening this message appears:"TypeError:Components.classes(id)Undefined". How can I get rid of this?

    Before opening Firefox 4 this message appears:"TypeError:Components.classes(id)Undefined". How can I get rid of this

    Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

  • I keep getting this pop up.To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment. How can I get rid of it?

    I keep getting this pop up - To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment. How do I get rid of it. 

    Most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple, such as the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

  • Suddenly i have an error pane directly under the normal display area. How do I get rid of this

    I have a sidebar with the bookmarks and then the Tree-Style Tabs add-on as a sidebar. The right hand side of the screen was previously dedicated to the active site. Now suddenly it has been split into 2 horizontal sections - the upper part with the web-site and the lower part with a pane containing error messages and warnings. How do I get rid of this error pane, which is a real pain.

    That is the classic error console and not the Browser Console that current Firefox releases have as part of the developer tools.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Browser_Console
    Are you using an extension that adds this version or the error console?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • My ex husband had the kid's iPad.. how do I get rid of his info and ability to track me?

    Hello,
    I am recovering from a control freak.  Please help.  My ex husband took off with the children's iPad for over a year.  So the warranty is expired.  How do I keep the games he put on there (like Angry Birds) but get rid of a "restrictions Passcode" he refuses to give me and get his AppleID off of there and most importantly take his ability to stalk me via GPS tracking away?
    Yes he has been stalking me.
    I would like to add an internet browser and be able to have my own restrictions passcode so that when the children are not supervised I can turn off the internet. 
    How do I get rid of his passwords and ability to track me and set the iPad up for my children.  (I have no money, no child support and definitely no cash for tech support.)  I would deeply appreciate the help.  Even after I find a new job, it will be tight.
    Thanks so much!

    You'll have to restore the device, but with out the restricions passcode you'll have to put it into recovery mode first.

  • Something called My Start has just appeared and it screws up everything. How can I get rid of it?

    When I installed Firefox on my new computer, it came with a new thing called incredimail and My Start. It screwed up everything, making it impossible to restore my settings. I deleted Incredimail using the Control Panel but My Start continues to upload everytime I open Firefox. I can't find it in my list of programs or in my program file on my C drive. How do I get rid of the damn thing? Jim MacNeill

    After uninstalling Incredimail (free) on my laptop, I also couldn't get rid of the MyStart search option. Waste many hours. Easy answer... Firefox home page... Firefox drop down menu on upper left... select help... select troubleshooting information... click on Reset Firefox! Voila! Problem gone!

  • My emails are appearing along the top of the page in the tool bar area? how do i get rid of this and back to the regular email page

    I opened my Mozilla yesterday and noticed my email page format was different then after a second, I noticed all my emails were now appearing along the top of the page in the tool bar area below "Fine Edit View Go ...etc" I'm not sure what happened. PLEASE help me I'm sure it's probably an easy fix, however I don't know how to fix it :)~ Also they are oldest email first, and since I normally save them for 45 days before deleting, I cant seem to get to the most recent email first. Ugh.
    Truly appreciate your help.

    This is what happens when you continually open messages in tabs but never close them. Pretty soon all you have are message tabs showing and you have pushed the Inbox off the screen.
    Get in the habit of closing message tabs after you read them.
    To get out of your situation now, right click one of the tabs and select Close Other Tabs. Then use the x to close the last one.

  • Malawarebytes flags hkcu\software\conduit\ff which appears only after I have started Firefox; how do I get rid of?

    Malawarebytes detects and flags the above and says it successfully removes. This appears to be true if I rerun a scan. However it continued to appear in later sessions. I finally think that I have tracked it down to firing up firefox. If I turn on my desktop and just run a scan, all is clean. I load firefox and run a scan and the pup is detected. I did in the past pick up the search facility Conduit but thought I had got rid; there is no outward sign other than the HKCU, and that was months ago.

    Hi ibru, if you still have a Conduit-created "Community Toolbar" extension, those preferences will keep coming back. Make sure you've removed the extension.
