Black housing frame glossy finnish wears off

I think that the paint finnish comes off extremely easily. Idropped it once (on soild not even concrete) and the upper left black corner looks like it has a patch. Even before i dropped it, i noticed 2 corners of the back side had that problem too (probably caused by just placing the phone on tables etc, and i am extremely gentle with it) . It is really annoying. Am i the only one facing this problem?

  • Black coating on MPR wearing off

    Sorry- Please ignore earlier incomplete post:
    The black coating on the top left of my MBP Retina 13" late 2013 is wearing off. I also seem to be getting small dots on the screen: Are these what are being called "pixel explosions". Why are these things happening? As there does not seem to be any cure for this and I do not have Applecare, can anyone tell me the kind of replacement costs involved?

    Hey shankar9,
    Oh no! It sounds like you may have a hardware issue with your computer. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like the warranty on your MacBook Pro may have already expired. While it is difficult to diagnose and estimate a repair cost without seeing the device, I can definitely get you into the hands of someone who may be able to do so:

  • Black "picture frame" around window

    A strange black "picture frame" shows up around windows which are active. Doesn't show up on Entourage. Appears like a non-damaging virus, but I don't know what it could be. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

    Hello teddyloop,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It looks like VoiceOver was activated. Head to *System Preferences -> Universal Access* and click on the Seeing tab and there is where you should be able to turn it off.

  • Letters on Keyboard wearing off

    I have an iBook G4 with a british keyboard. i've only had this machine for a matter of months and already the letters on a few of the keys are starting to wear off!! is there anywhere were i could cheaply order a few keys?
    in particular i need an "a", "s" and "n". if it is possible to get custom keys made, i'd like a #/€ key (as i remap the chapter/plusminus key to that).

    Hey Sam,
    im having the very same problem even though iv only had my ibook g4 for just under 5 months. i believe that puts me still under the 1 year warrenty for the computer itself. will they still replace the keyboard if this is the case. if they decide not to do so. i was wondering if anyone here new the part number for the keyboard that is easly installed on the g4 ibooks. if anyone here knows anything on the matter please feel free to email me on this.
    as most people can see, i also have a power mac g5 desktop, otherwise called a cheese grader. if you know what i mean. theres very little i dont like apples computers. thats probally why everything in my house is mac related. having 3 ipods, 1 g4 ibook, a power mac g5, isight cam, and lots more. the point here is in the event people are trying to decide what kind of coomputer there wanting to buy. several things need to be considered before you should go out and buy one. obviously price has alot to do with your choice, but in that decision you must also consider whether or not the computer has teachnical type issues. is the company well known for having lots of problems. will you be able to get the technical support you need in the event there is some major problem with the computer that you may be inquiring on. having the apple care protection plan on all of apple's top computers is the single one thing that people dont think about when buying a new brand name computer. i cant tell people enough that buying this apple care plan is vital to the survival of you and your new computer. an extra $200-$400 is well worth the expense down the line.

  • I accidentally dropped macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!

    I accidentally dropped my friend's macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!
    I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
    Please help me..

    Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty.  And it seems there is much accidental damage.  Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
    Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
    There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

  • This mini is operating OSX 10.6.8 and trying to update to Mountain Lion but upgrade stops and a black overscreen displays saying to power off and power on.  The upgrade fails.  What's the problem?

    Hi Fred,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • My phone died last night and when I plugged it in it wouldn't turn on.I tried restarting it but it has yet to turn on since last night,It was just a black screen,i try the on/off and home buttons together but its not working,What should I do?

    How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

  • My Smart Cover is causing the aluminum to wear off/ipad crashing

    About two months ago, I noticed my Smart Cover started to wear the aluminum off. The spot is getting bigger and there are others areas now where it is wearing off. On an unrelated not, my iPad crashes apps ALL the time! Even after resetting it. My one year warranty expired in June 2013.

    No one addressed those Apps crashing....
    I had a problem with Pages and another Apps crashing all the time.  The advice was to delete the App (data is not effected) and then re-download via wifi from the store in purchases (no charge of course).
    It fixed my problem apps.
    If this doesn't fix the Apps then the iPad itself may need to be restored.
    PLEASE! do a good backup to a computer first!   Save stuff to dropbox, reduntant backups are okay!
    Then restore to factory and then setup as new with backup.

  • T440 external wearing off

    Unbelievable! After 1 day of usage (about 3 hours) , I found the external edges of body completely discolored. Looking the locations, it sounds like the wearing off has been due to the palms of my hands but I have never experienced something like that and I am thinking what can be happened. Probably, in the evening, I smeared my hand and arms with one oh those anti mosquitoes spary to reject those annoying mosquitoes and soon after I set to work with this laptop. But I am not sure... I do not belive the spray can be the culprit but really, I do not know what to think about... this accident is so odd. Anyway, please  do you haveome ideas to repaint those areas? What product can I use for a similar job? Just to improve a little bit those unaesthetic areas.
    Thanks 
    Regards

    this is probably due to the chemicals in the mosquito repellant reacting with the surface coating on the ThinkPad.

  • Keys getting dirty look--paint wearing off!  What does Apple do for this?

    This is dismaying. I received a brand new MacBook Pro (early 2008 model) from Apple only a few months ago and the silver paint on several keys is already wearing off! They're getting that dirty look. See http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=451259
    I went through something similar with an old iBook G4... On those, the keys' lettering wore off. Apple service was responsive for sure, although it was pretty silly that they kept sending me replacement keyboards Instead of individual keys or decals. After pushing by me, they even sprung for one of those iSkin plasticky keyboard covers (which turned out it interferes with typing and some say can cause a heat problem). Eventually, they sent me a 4th keyboard that didn't wear out at all. So, it seems that they fixed that issue.
    Has Apple solved this paint wearing problem for the MBP's? Do I just go the Apple Care route--again-- and do they send out an entire keyboard? What have other people experience and done?
    In this case, obviously, they can't send decals as this keyboard is the backlit (underlit) kind!

    This is a known issue with the Early 2008 MBP (as well as earlier models). It has nothing to do with dirty hands, or lotions or hands or anything else. Just from plain old use, it wears down the paint on the keys.
    The MBP keyboard keys are no longer removable one by one on that model and onward -- you have to bring your MBP into an Apple Store (or call Apple Care) - they will take it in, change it out for a new keyboard (its under warranty for one year, and if you have Apple Care for two additional years). If you are beyond the one year warranty and did not purchase Apple Care, then you will have to pay to have it replaced (probably a couple hundred dollars plus shipping).
    The turnaround for something like that is usually about a week if you have to send it in, and a day if you go to the Apple Store. The Apple Store, after deeming it a repair issue, will order the keyboard. Then they will call you to bring in your MBP and leave it for the time it is required for them to fix it -- usually an afternoon, or overnight.
    But this is a well-documented and much discussed issue over the years -- it occured to my old MBP as well. Luckily, I have three apple stores all within a half hour drive of me, so I don't worry about those sorts of things. But it's annoying if you have to send it it.

  • I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro.  It is the wifi in my house.  I get kicked off like every few minutes or so.  Why is this and how can I stop it?

    I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro.  It is the wifi in my house.  I get kicked off like every few minutes or so.  Why is this and how can I stop it?

    I think the other devices are fine.  I'm not sure.  It usually only happens like a couple days out of the week.  I do know that the network I'm using when I click on the wifi symbol at the top of my screen doesn't have a padlock on it.  It IS MY network that is at my house, but maybe that has something to do with it.

  • How can I repair the the letters  wearing off of my keyboard?.

    The letters are wearing off of my 4 year old iMac keyboard.  Is there a good way to mark the keys that will not rub off?  Everything else works great and I would like not to buy a new keyboard if at all possible.

  • Anti-reflective coating on iPhone camera lense wearing off

    In the past few days, I've noticed that the anti-reflective coating on my iPhone lense has begun to wear off in blotches, producing a "rainbow" effect when observed in the proper room lighting. I purchased this phone on June 30, keep it stored in a Marware Sportsuit case that completely envelopes the device, and only use iKlear to clean the device every few days.
    Although this doesn't seem to affect photos shot from indoors, it does seem to be producing funny lighting "spots" when shooting outdoors.
    I'm curious to know who else out there is noticing this with their iPhone and, if so and you've contacted Apple for assistance, what sort of response did you receive? Was it handled under AppleCare, did you have to send it in or was a replacement provided in-store, etc?
    TIA

    Yesterday I made an appt with a genius and we compared my camera with his. Pointed them both side by side at the overhead lights in the Apple Store. We could plainly see the haze on my phone most pronounced on the illuminated signs that say 'Kids', 'Peripherals' or whatever.
    The genius said it would have to be sent for repair or replacement - he wasn't sure of course whether they would actually replace the lens or just send me a new iPhone. I'm guessing they'll just send me a new one though b/c it would seem pretty crazy for them to actually repair it. I haven't looked at disassembly photos of the iPhone but maybe the lens cover is part of the back metallic case cover and can be easily swapped out?
    Either way I'm sure they'll take care of it. I did get a loaner iPhone and had some minor issues getting that going but that's another story.
    Another note - while waiting in the store I checked out another customer's iPhone that was bringing his in for some other problem looked at his lens and it had spots on it that wouldn't come off as well.
    While I have the loaner I'm going to experiment with applying some sort of screen protector material to cover the lens so I'm ready to preserve mine when it comes back!

  • IPhones screen wearing off. Is it a major issue?

    My iPhone 5 warranty is void so I won't be able to repair it for free. The problem is the screen is wearing off slightly from the Middle right, its just slight + in the dark if the phones brightness is high you can see the light emitting from there. Is this a major problem?

    To answer your question more directly, no, it's not a  major problem. All it means is your finger prints will show more easily and you'll end up cleaning the screen more often. A dry microfiber cloth works well and no need to buy any solutions.

  • Black Outline Frame!!!!

    Hi Enzo2;
    May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
    Do you have Voiceover in Universal Access in System Preferences turned on? This can cause that problem.
