Bluish tint on a new glass?!

I dropped my iPhone 4 (white) on the ground and the front glass cracked today. I went to the shop and they replace it but now the screen color seems to have a bluish tint, it was not like that before... any ideas?!

the problem is for macbook pro 2010 with ssd installed.
mountain lion cannot load the discrete graphic driver well and it mistakes when it switch to this using some programs (like chrome, ps, Transmission and so on)
by now u can just logout and login after every restart to fix this.
i hope they'll fix it forever in the next update.

A720 Screen has Bluish Tint

Hello,
I need some help with my screen I have gone through numerous steps to adjust but the screen still seems to have a bluish tint. A newer driver is out but I am unable to install it for some reason. Reinstalling the recommended driver has not helped.
Any suggestions?

dcxman:
Not sure if you have resolved this issue yet, but I had this issue this morning. (I have a B320)
If you go to the Intel (R) HD Graphics icon located in the Notification area of your Task bar>Select: Graphic Properties>Select: Adcanced Mode>Select: Monitor/TV Settings>Scroll to bottom and select Restore Factory Default.
I had to do it a few times, then restarted the machine. Everything is back to normal now.
Hope this helps if you are still dealing with the issue.

Bluish Tint

hmmm I got this problem w/my glass screen mbp15" that I just sold 2 days ago. Now I have the new mbp 17" matte & I thought this problem shouldn't exist but just notice the BLUISH TINT again NOW.
anyone has the same issue. Is this a defected sign of the display or just an apple thing?
J

My MacBook Pro 15" (march 2009) does the same thing ocassionally as well. I have it connected to a 24' LCD display most of the time.
I discovered last week that when it does it, I can open the Display control panel, click the color tab and then toggle the color profile to any other, and then back to the normal one and it resets everything back to normal again instead of rebooting.

Bluish tint on screen when Photoshop CS6 running

Hi!
I just bought a MacBook Pro three weeks ago. I'm running Mountain Lion. Also, I have my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Something very unusual is happening. I'm a Graphic Designer and currently doing an Interior Design major. I calibrated my monitor perfectly. But now, ever since I installed CS6, every time I open Photoshop, a bluish tint sets on the screen, affecting every program running (browsers, for example) and it's very annoying (not to mention it disrupts any color calibration I made to my monitor). The only solution to this problem is closing Photoshop (the problem persists even if I minimize Photoshop to use another program).
I tried opening Illustrator and it works fine. Only with Photoshop this is happening.
I searched on Apple discussion boards for similar cases and found nothing.
What's interesting, I took screenshots to send them to a friend and the screenshots don't seem to be affected by this phenomenon.
Have I gone crazy or someone here has an idea on this?
Thank you!

As I said in my post on the Apple board, my bluish tint problem when switching graphics cards eventually just went away - no idea why. And I tried recalibrating when I had the blue tint screen but do no avail.
I can open Photoshop and use it with my Intel integrated card sometimes - PS itself doesn't seem to make the switch automatically. But when I open Bridge (which I use almost always) the discrete graphics card kicks in. My temporary solution was to use gfxCardStatus on discrete all of the time. And after a while, when I began switching to integrated while on battery, my problem vanished.
But if you've a new MBP (mine's a late 2011 yet still under warranty until 2015) I'd take it back to the Apple Store and have them switch it out for another machine. The problem doesn't seem to crop up often (else there would be many more complaints) and it seems to be only on 2011 and 2012 machines. I don't think it's an Adobe problem at all as it happened to me when any app that uses discrete graphics would kick in (including Google Chrome).
I didn't send in a bug report to Apple because I thought that the problem was only with my machine. Yours is only the fourth time I've heard of the dreaded blue tint occurring. Take your machine back to the Apple Store and show them the problem. Maybe they will have a better fix than just using gfxCardStatus.
Regards,
Clinton

Lite bluish tint to screen

Hi -
Just got the new Imac dual core a few weeks ago and woke it out of sleep mode and noticed a slight flicker happened, and now I feel like there is a lite bluish tint to all the whites now (for example looking at the Google homepage), almost as if a light blue thin film has been placed over the monitor screen.
I reset all the monitor calibrations in System Preferences but nothing seemed to change.
It's not interfering with any work but is driving me crazy, like an itch I can't scratch.
Also, don't know if its related but I notice a light constant flicker with the monitor goes into sub-sleep mode and the screen dims for a bit.
Anyone else had this problem or heard anything like it? Not sure if its worth taking in to Apple store...
thanks for any input

A very reasonable approach; I suspect you enjoy using your computer.
I never understood how important work could be done while viewing grey bars across one's screen looking for minute colour variations. When my screen blanker was displaying my photos with the Ken Burns effect, I looked hard to see the colour variation in a given portion of the photo as the photo moved at various angles across the screen - couldn't swear I could see a problem on the monitor I'm using now. If I stare hard enough at alternating light and dark grey bars on the screen, I might even see the Shroud of Turin on the screen eventually. On this monitor or any monitor.
Okay, I'll be serious for a moment...
I am not denying there are some with very evident and serious colour problems of course. But for the vast majority, considering the price of the entire 27" iMac is less than half the price of a professional-grade colour Eizo monitor... e.g. $4,400 for a 30" monitor with 97% Adobe RGB colour-space and only 290 cd/m², I don't think every monitor will be perfectly uniform. Eizo verifies uniformity over 25 points on the display. I don't know what Apple does of course.

I have noticed several people saying they can tolerate a little colour variation, but the flickering / tearing / blackouts are not acceptable. I agree with that and also expect those problems will be resolved in our first year of ownership so everyone will be covered by their warranty.

You have posted in the G5 forum, but yes, there have been reports of color problems with the new intel, usually a yellowish tint near the bottom of the screen. In any case, call Apple and discuss it with them, and make sure you get Apple Care before the end of your first year of ownership!

Need Help Fixing Bad Color Profile (Leading to Bluish Tint)

Hi folks,
I've been experiencing problems with my late-2011 Macbook Pro for the past several months. Whenever it switches to dedicated graphics, the screen results in a bluish tint.
I believe it's a problem with the color profile on my machine. The diagnostic identifies two problems with the color profile, but the system is unable to fix the problem (see attached photo).
Does anybody know how I can fix this?
EDIT: I should note I'm running the latest version of OSX 10.8.4. I never experienced this problem with 10.7.x.

The new glass on the iphone 4.

i read some reviews and this "super glass" doesnt seem that great. they did a test dropping it from 3.5 feet. the 3rd time they dropped it, it completely shattered. however in the iphone video it shows them BENDING the glass in a factory. i dont understand why it is still weak. anyone know anything about this new glass?

The test was done with an "empty" iPhone 4. Hardly conclusive as there is also no video evidence showing that it was a standard drop. There could have been some force behind the throw. Another note - This test was performed by a company who so "conveniently" provides repair as well.

Take it how you want it though.

Anyone having an easy time w/ the new glass trackpad?

I'm really struggling with the new glass trackpad. I think I've mastered it one minute and then the next I'm selected text I didn't want to select or zooming in on something I didn't want to zoom in on. And then when I try to select text I get a contexual menu instead, etc, etc.
So my question is, is anyone having an easier time of it and if so could you share some tips? One thing I've already trained myself to do is to keep my thumb off the trackpad. With previous laptops I always kept my thumb on the trackpad button ready to click. That isn't possible now because it will mistake it as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th finger.

No problems at all...

Way off Topic - Need to improve my vision with new glasses

I’m sorry posting this kind of question here but I thought since we are all all Mac users and some of us work in front the screen everyday I decided to ask a recommendation here.
I’m a EPP operator and my station is an iMac 27 hardware calibrated, at home I use the 23 aluminum cinema. My vision has degraded a lot in the past 2 years. I’ve seen a doctor who gave me a prescription for new glasses. Is it better to get a pair of glasses just for the computer (wich I have most difficulty to see) or a lens that is for both, long distance (which my is not that bad) and for arm distance (computer). Is there a specific type of lens grade that I should look for?
I asked this question for the Dr. he says I should get one pair that I can use for both but I’m having problems with that.
I really need to see the screen well for color correction and setup the files for the presses.
Thanks again and sorry this type of question

OK...I've spent weeks trying to find a way to save my library. Finally I came across a little program call
"Podup". This little application did the trick exactly right.
But...first application I tried was "Touchcopy". I'm sorry but this thing just didnt work good. Touchcopy tried to do way too much. Everytime I would try to send large selection of my music back to itunes Touchcopy would freeze. Touchcopy was not copying over all of my album work either. This was the slowest program! I spent at least 2 days trying different ways to make this thing work right but no luck. If you're looking for a simply way to save your ipod music dont waste your time or money on touchcopy. I'm hoping they will at least give me my money back.
Now...If you want a simple way to save your ipod music then try "podup". I've been looking everywhere for the right tool. I've read hundreds of reviews and all of the products seemed to have alot of problems...some people even losing their songs off of their ipods. I came across "podup" and did not see too many reviews but the few i read were all good. No cost and EASY to use. I was really tired of looking and gave it a shot. Plugged in ipod and hit the copy button. It was really about that easy. Now it took a very looooooooong time to copy 23,000 + songs but it did it! Album artwork copied over also. Out of 23,000+ songs Podup only had 446 errors (songs that did not copy) and i'm pretty sure these files were no good either way.
I hope this helps because it really saved my library. This was the only product i found that would work right with my mac. I had to do the same thing about a year ago on my windows pc and I used "tunejack" which worked just as good.
Good luck

Can you help me fix my screen? It randomly has a bluish tint, bad resolution and horizontal flashing lines

Hi all,
It's a 15" 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo MBP running on Leopard 10.5.8, bought spring 2008.
About a couple of weeks ago, my screen started randomly switching to a strange blue / purple tint along with a bad resolution (can't really read text on screen) and flashing horizontal lines in the background. It started worrying me given I'm working with it all the time and am hoping for this machine to hold on for a few more months until I can buy a new one.
It would happen randomly for a few minutes at a time and then revert back to normal screen.
I found a lot of references to a similar problem in a few threads such as this one:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1456983?tstart=0
My screen has gone strange again now and isn't reverting back to normal so far even after I tried restarting it. It was normal for 2 min only ans then back to bluish. I tried all the display fixes indicated in the threads but none of them work and I'm not exactly sure my issue is the same given I can still see the tint and horizontal lines in particular if the screen saver goes on, and the resolution on screenshots I've seen of other people having blue tint screen issues seems to be normal (as in text is legible).
Any ideas on how to fix it? Do you think it might be more of a software or hardware problem..? Would it help if I try upgrading my Mac OS?
Thank you very much for your time

Thanks a lot for the reply, I was worried would say that outright. Screen just only reverted back to normal after a couple of hours. As you said probably best to bring it in for diagnosis, I'll try to do that asap though of course I'm nowhere neaar any AASP at the moment.

Mac has a bluish tint to it, just happened last week

Hello! My Mac is a refurb, early 2011, I got it in the September. It's always run a bit low, because it's only 4gb. But a few days ago the browsers turned a bit, well, grey. Sometimes a bluish colour. ColorSync says no problem. I need to know if I'm losing my marbles! Perhaps it's always had this grey tint thing, but the blue is most odd. It doesn't happen all the time; just sometimes, when I load a page, the browser goes blue for several seconds. Screen grab here: http://tinypic.com/r/zjf7mq/8
It's not harming anything, I suppose, but I wonder if it's the beginning of problems for the Mac. I've already started thinking about buying a new one and flogging this one...

"MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)"
So there's a recall on this model. Run your serial number here to see if you're in the recall pool.
Since it's a refurb it might be different but it that's actually the original date of manufacture it should be one of the ones affected.
Apple Recall:
https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
Take it to the Apple store and they'll run tests on it. Make sure they run the tests many times. Sometimes it twakes a while to get the diagnostic to kick our an error code.

Reddish tint on front camera glass on Nokia 808 Pu...

Some time ago I replaced the somewhat broken case of my Nokia 808 Pureview with other one, used, but in good physical condition. Everything went ok, no problem here.
There is a strange thing however: the front camera glass of the "new" case has a slightly reddish tint, whose color resembles a skylight photo filter. It can be observed quite well in the attached images (in the one with both, the "new" case is on the left).
I am unable to spot a difference in colors of the photos taken before and after case change, but that doesn't mean much. The colors of the 808 were never on my favorite side (I always prefer the N8 colors, but this is also a matter of taste) and those taken with the xenon flash have a pink white tendency almost all the time (especially on subjects having lot of white) – but that was the same with the "old" case also.
My question is – was this physical optical adjustment intentionally made by Nokia at some point ? Or this is something common and just my old case was different than the average ? The glass on the old case seems just a little bit dark, but this could be only an impression and for sure it has no particular color tint.

Dust? Behind new glass 24 led lcd, on top of lcd

there appears to be a piece of dark brown material behind the outer glass of the screen. It's not dead pixels because when flashing light on it, and brightness set real low, it has texture on top of the actual lcd.
Also, maybe i'm not used to such a big screen (went from 20"), but it seems the bottom third is slightly brighter than the top.

I called apple and explained to them that I had purchased one, went back to the same store the next day and after much grief, got them to hold a second and last one, took it home. I found the second one had yellow specs all over. They stated that they would set up a case, sent me a paid fed ex tag and would be sending a replacement. I still have not recieved the new one, but I would rather wait and get one that is perfect than get another and have to repeat the process. I like the phone support much better than in the store. I feel belittled sometimes by the management when I go in and they "can't see it" gets old. If its so invisible, why do others write about it, and why would I choose to hassle myself and drive 45 minutes each way.
They do a great job of taking care of me on the phone which is why I am probably going to just shop online now with apple. Good service, I recommend you call them and get them to set you up for a replaceent. Otherwise you will go crazy trying to call the stores to see if they have one in yet. I simply would rather do other things and know that they will get me one as soon as its available.
Good Luck!
