Black spot in iSight image...

I just received my new iMac G5 20in iSight today...and I love it. However, using iChat and PhotoBooth I noticed that there is a small black spot in the upper left corner of the image. According to other posts, it doesn't seem to be possible to open the case and clean the inside of the iSight at all... Is my iMac defective?

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

  • Elements 13 Spot Healing Tool - freezes & leaves black spot on image

    I am using Elements 13 on a Mac, doing substantial spot healing in restoring old images.
    The healing tool regularly seems to have a delay in responding and then leaves a dark spot on the image.  When I 'undo' to remove it, the spot occasionally extends down to the bottom right with a smudged line.
    Is this happening to anyone else?
    Any tips on how to prevent this?

  • Black spots on printouts.

    We have a Cannon MFC multi color laser printer, we changed the black print cartridge and when we print black/White , the printouts have black spots and other letters in the background. Can anyone please let us know if they had the same issye and what they did to fix it.
    Thanks

    Thank you nvenktesh,
    Your paper, toner cartridge or the need to clean an internal unit can factor into the issue.  Please first ensure that supported paper is being used: Paper drawer/16 to 32 lb (60 to 120 g/m2); Stack Bypass Tray/ 16 to 47 lb (60 to 176 g/m2).  Note:  Highly textured, very smooth or shiny paper do not print well.
    If print or image quality is affected, and when replacing your Canon toner cartridge, cleaning the Fixing Assembly is very useful.  Visit the link and select the article "Cleaning the Machine" for details on cleaning the assembly.
    Please contact us if further assistance is needed.

  • Macbook pro 17 dispaly black spots

    have a glossy screen 17 inch mb pro. In the middle of the screen some light grey black spots have appeared. they seem to be under the screen but over the underlying image etc. has anyone else had this problem??

    Hi,
    I had the same thing happen to my MBP. They changed my display, but unfortunately I got one of these horrible, grainy displays that everybody is talking about. I am trying to figure out which model was originally in my laptop, since the quality was much better (except for the gray spots that appeared). Do you know what model you have in your MBP?
    Cheers,

  • Nokia N8, Camera Issue: Black spot

    Saw others have had the same issue.. and tried the "solutions"
    Black spot in same location on every picture / live preview of the image on the camera mode.
    tired cleaning the lens, does not work. Guess its a hardware problem/ faulty lens?
    need a bit of info before i go back to Virgin to get a new hand set

    I just had the same issue appear on my Nokia N8. I looked back in my pictures and it started about two hours ago based on pictures I'd taken (I take a lot!).
    Anyway I searched for the solutions you had referred to and found ones saying a shake of the phone resolves the problem. I tried but to no avail, I still had a dark spot. I read further about explanation of dust or micro-organism (and how this should not be possible as they units are sealed airtight in the factory) and decided that I would knock the phone against my hand (more forgiving than a wall or table) to see if this helped. Lo and behold the dark spot disappeared!
    It is worrying that there may be something falling around in front of the lens of my camera and just hope it does not reappear soon....

  • N9 - Black spots on display

    Hi,
    Just bough myself N9 and i just love it. One thing i noticed thouhg, that bothers me a bit, are the black areas or spots visible on dark grey backgrounds. If you start the camera on a dark room, you will notice the black spots. Is this a common issue on N9? Should i ask for a replacemet device?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Experiencing with the same issue. I have black lines on the dark grey display when phone is switching on, camera on, multitasking view (no or one/two applications on), dashboard view when empty.
    I have contacted Nokia Hungary to figure the issue out. It seems to be unbelievable why such a small display like 3.9 cannot be homogeneous!
    Image just found on internet but the problem fairly similar (hard to be taken by camera).
    Keep you posted

  • Adobe Reader X prints large black spots in large documents

    I have a user with Windows XP SP3 and Adobe Reader X.  When he prints a catalog with images, it randomly prints large black spots throughout the document.  If I print one of the individual pages that had black spots, it prints fine.  Are there any known issues that would cause this or does anyone have any suggestions?  He is printing to a Toshiba eStudios 5520c copier.  No one else has the problem printing to this printer but, he is the only one using Adobe Reader to print catalogs to this printer.  Everyone else printing catalogs to this printer use at least Adobe Pro of some version (the versions differ between users).  I have increased the size of the page file and reinstalled the printer driver.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for providing the information.
    Could you please try and reinstall the printer driver on this user's machine and see if it solves the issue.
    Also, do all PDFs with images produce the same output from this user's machine?
    Would it be possible for you to share any such PDF? I have sent you my email address as a Private Message.

  • CS6 suddenly shows black spots?

    Since today i've gotten some problems with CS6
    When i import an NEF file into photoshop some photo's suddenly get some black area's
    On bridge or Gimp the photo's are how they should be... but in photoshop i'm getting this:
    If i change the channel mode from 8bit to 32bit it looks just fine... but i cant edit anything....
    It will probably be an setting i've missed or something.. but i'm really stuck, i cant finish my pictures in photoshop!
    Video drivers are up to date.
    Mode =rgb color - 8bit
    I never had any problems until now... i really hope somebody can help me.

    What black spots are you referring-to?  That the shadowed areas have gone to pure black?

    Do you have an ATI card?
    There was an ATI driver problem prior to the 13.4 release where any time the red channel would reach 0 the whole color would go to pure black.  Does the problem go away if you choose Image - Adjust - Curves, then raise the black point of the Red channel to 1 or higher?
    When you say your video drivers are up to date, do you have the latest release (Catalyst 13.4) from AMD's web site?  The Catalyst 13.4 release is generally the one that solves the aforementioned problem.

  • Ugly black spots with open tabs

    I recently purchased a used Powerbook that came with Safari 2.0.3 and OS 10.4.6 installed. I noticed that when I open a tab in Safari, ugly black spots appear in the address bar in the spaces between each button or field in the bar. It looks terible andd is very distracting. Does anyone know the cause of this? Better can, can someone tell me how to fix it?

    Thanks for uploading the image. Thanks also to Eme for the link - I didn't know this site existed. I have to come out of my computer cave more often.
    Haven't seen this type of screen "blemish" in Safari. Not sure if your problem is related specifically to the drawing of the menu bar icons? You may have to reinstall Safari. Before you go down that path, consider installing a customized icon set via Safaricon. This 3rd party app. offers customized Safari icon sets which are much more pleasing to the eye than Safari's default set. Curious if that would remedy the problem?

  • Black Spots before still photos in movie

    Hey There, I'm new to iMovie and seem to be getting a black spot after a transition and just before a still photo. I don't know what it is or how to remove it? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it something I need to change with the transition or the photo? I hope someone can help

    Take a look at iPhoto.
    It has more features for image formats and works well with iDVD.
    Your original image files will be reduced in dimensions to fit the TV "safe viewing" area (about 640X480).
    To get the iPhoto slideshow "movie" onto your iPad you will export it to QuickTime format and select the iPad preset and then add it to your iTunes Library.

  • IPod 4th gen screen lifting and black spot, what do I do?

    Ok so like 2 months ago my iPod 4th gen screen started lifting. I was like woah I have to get that fixed but the weird part was that I had never dropped it. Also after a while it started getting a black spot right next to where it was lifting. I ignored it at first because it was small but then it started getting bigger. My case has kept it together but to clean it I have to take it off and when I snapped it back on the corner where it was lifting cracked. I don't know if this was something like they didn't put on the screen right but I don't wanna have to pay so much to fix something that they did if it was their fault. Help please what do I do
    Would the warranty cover this?

    If the iPod was not abused it is covered by the warranty.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
