After 7 months white spots are showing

First I'd like to start by saying, i wear glasses, and I had to use magnifying glass as well to read the serial number. Second, it appears you cannot submit service tickets? 3rd this screen is ridiculously blue. I had to use a colorimeter to correct it as much as possible with a dynamic brightness that can't be disabled..
I bought my Father this laptop and he only uses it for email/web and watching soccer. The laptop always stays in the same place, and it is in immaculate condition. After 7 months there appears to be white spots which appear to be much more noticable with the dynamic brightness at full and only on certain colors, for example white.
There are only 2 white spots and I'm not sure if they are growing yet, but I assume he will have more in the future. Do they know what causes this? How is this fixed?

Faint White spots on LCD Display

Hi,
I have a few faint white spots on the LCD display of my Macbook Pro. I had similar problems with a previous Powerbook G4. The white spots are about the size of a Canadian nickel and are right in the middle of the display. Since they are in the middle of the display, they are quite annoying. I already tried cleaning the screen many, many times.
I tried to call Applecare but they wouldn't even listen what I had to say since I was outside the 90 day phone support. I was under the impression that the Macbook Pro had a warranty of 1 year; but if they won't listen to what I have to say, how can I get them to do any warranty service on my laptop?
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey everyone,
I've also experienced these same "white spots" on my Mac Book Pro. I purchased it about a year ago and they started appearing on my screen in October. It looks like someone used their finger tip and applied direct pressure on my display. They almost form a perfect circle pattern in the middle.
I took my computer to an Apple store in Toronto and they couldn't diagnose what the issue was so they did the screen replacement under warranty.
Unfortunately, it began happening AGAIN a few weeks ago and I took it back to a store today to have a "genius" look at it. Immediately, they said that it was a result of putting too much pressure on my screen. I wondered how the heck I could have accomplished this since I thought I treated my MBP like a baby. I was using a Crumpler laptop bag to tote my baby around and according to them a combination of; all the gear I was carrying (which isn't much), the fact that it was a shoulder bag (resting on my hip when I walk), and the fact that I use one of those Marware keyboard covers together (which applies pressure from within) contributed to the pressure put on the center of my screen. And ultimately, they won't replace the screen because it's "my fault".
I'm just bugged by it because...
1) The genius I originally dealt with didn't know what the problem was so I couldn't take any measures to better protect my computer after it was repaired. I could have bought a tougher case, made sure I was more aware of what else I put in my laptop bag (although I never put that much in it initially), or just left it at home.
2) The genius (who was quite rude actually and treated me like I was stealing from him) I dealt with the second time said he saw this issue quite often but there is no warning anywhere saying that the Mac Book Pro can be succeptible to this. Geez, I have friends/family with Mac laptops that treat them like crap and have no issues like this. Also, I know people with PC laptops that are built like tanks (who spent a fraction of the money I did) and can put up with alot of day to day punishment.
3) I bought the Marware keyboard cover AT the Apple store. Why are they selling something that has the ability to damage their laptop screens?
So I hope people can read this and take the proper precautions when storing their Mac Book Pros during transport. Luckily, the spots aren't too bad, I just make sure my desktop wallpaper is dark so the spots won't be so obvious.
Sorry Apple, you just lost a point with me.

What are the white spots that are showing up on screen?

I have a mid 2009 unibody and have noticed recently that I have 2 white spots on the screen. One is almost centered and the other is half way up on the rigth hand side. They are only noticiable on light backgrounds. I can also see on at the bottom right starting. It is very faint, but still shows on a white background.
I am out of warrenty so I'm wondering how much it might cost to fix, or if it is just something that I can live with and the problem won't get worse.

Dick,
To be honest I don't know what program they are related to. However If the files are located in ~/Library/Preferences (Where is ~ = your home directory) Then You should be safe in moving/deleting them, at worst you will have to reset the settings in one of your apps. What that folder is mainly used for is say for example you have your dock show/hide it self. That will be saved to a plist file in the preferences folder. If you delete or move the dock's plist out of there your dock on your next login will go back to the default view of Mac OS.
Now To be honest you don't have to move/delete those files that are there, especially since at most you will probably reset some of the preferences you set in an application. But its up to you. Also you could always move it first to see what app it is and either move it back or delete it later.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Do they just delete. Are they in a file in my finder somewhere.??
Thanks-Did a search but couldn't find anything.

Unless you erased the disk when you reinstalled OX v10.7, your apps should still be in your Applications folder.
You can only, "Accept" one time...
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

My ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots, I have restored it but it is still white. It shows in ITunes but I cant do anything with it. Can anyone help please

My Ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots on it. I have restored it and it shows in ITunes but the screen is still white. Is there anything I can do? The warranty has run out so I will have to pay for any repairs (if it can be repaired). Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. Help!

I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. In one case, a message someone had sent to me wound up in the mailbox of a third person, who was not included in the address list!! I have only two accounts, and have checked everything; only one account is showing the repeats Now, that account is my professional account, and it resides in three places: I use it on the laptop described here, I use it through Apple Mail on the much newer desktop Mac in my office, and I can run it through Web mail on my employer's server, which is where the professional account resides (I have a mailbox there, etc.) That program is called Zimbra.
My personal account is with Earthlink and is not doing the repeats. I access it either through my MacBook's Apple Mail or the Web; the Apple Mail on my office Mac is not configured to access the Earthlink server.
What IS going on here?? My friends, colleagues, and students (I teach college) are mystified by these ancient messages.
Thanks for any help!!

You possibly set up an auto-renewing subscription with the app - there are instructions on this page on how to manage them, including how to stop them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.

All of my Calendar information is on iCloud. Everything has been syncing fine on both iPhones 4s and iPad 2. Now however only the past two months are showing on my devices while all the information is on iCloud.

My iCloud Calendar and devices ( iPad 2 and iPhones 4S ) have been syncing fine for the past several months. Now however only the past two months are showing up on my devices while the iCloud Calendar continues to show all of the events. Why is all the information still not syncing?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down to the Calendars section and change the sync option to something other than 'Events 2 month back'.

White spot after too much pressure on the screen

So, while cleaning my screen, I accidentally pressed too hard, and now there is like a white spot in the middle of the screen. I can only see it on dark backgrounds, like blue or black or whatever. Can this be repaired or is my poor little Macbook screen doomed to have a white spot forever? Cause that would be really sad, it hasn't even been a month since I got it.

Make an appointment at the Genius bar at your nearest Apple store.
Good luck.
Ciao.

After accepting the new Apple upgrade to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S, I cannot remove the half month calendar view to show only the daily view. Help!

Before you panic, try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
