Dark band down the right edge of screen ? (17" MBP)

I'm afraid I'm being nitpicky after seeing all those other serious problems, but I'm curious. Let me know if I'm being a nit picker.
On my new 17" MBP (early 2009) with the glossy panel, there is a band of dark area (about 1 inch wide) down the right edge of the screen. It's more noticeable because it then gets brighter 1/4 inch from the edge. It's not that bad... and I doubt that it'd show up in a picture if I were to take one. But it's plainly noticeable when I set the desktop to a solid color.
Is that to be expected? Do you also notice it? I was hoping that uniformity would be better with LED backlighting. Or is this a uniformity issue?

hello,
no i don't think that is being too picky. sounds like a display defect, and it could get worse over time. i think you should take it back.
regards,

Desktop appearance problem: For no apparent reason my Mac running OSX 10.4.11 imposed a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side where I have the dock. How do I remove it?

For no apparent reason my Mac (2 GHz PowerPC G5) running 10.4.11 has put a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also a band of the same pattern across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side over the dock. (See screen grabs below.)
It doesn't affect any operations but makes folder names and drop-down menus difficult to read through the pattern.
I'm not aware of changing any settings so suspect I must have clicked on something without noticing. How do I get rid of the overlaid pattern, please?

Information about my computer is as follows:

CSS Drop down menu; how to align the right edge of drop down and parent menu?

Hello everyone,
I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well.
The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned.
I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned.
I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use.
Thank you!

Weird line on the right edge of the screen with fglrx and KDE Plasma

Hey there,
I am using an AMD Radeon R9 280X with the fglrx driver for my 2-monitor setup: One 1366x768 monitor on the left side, one 1920x1080 monitor on the right side. My current DE is Plasma with KDE 5, but the bug also existed (though not as bad) with Cinnamon.
Now to the problem: On the right edge of the screen is the 2-pixel-width vertical line currently in grey, which even exist in full-screen applications.
On Cinnamon the situation is a little bit different: Here it only appears sometimes, but then it flashes frequently, though full-screen applications cover it.
Interestingly I can hover my mouse pointer over it.
Here are two screenshots: One with the whole line and one showing the above described.
I configured my screens with amdccle and/or the KDE 5 display manager. Here's the generated xorg.conf:

Yes, this only happens on the big screen

DVI
ewaller wrote:What does the display report as its current resolution in the on screen menu?
It reports 1920x1080 as it's current resolution
As a test I changed the resolution to 1400x1050 in the KDE menu, but the monitor reports it as 1680x1050. Though the bug still persists.
ewaller wrote:What effects to you use in KDE? Although this is mitigated by your having had the problem with Cinnamon
I use the standard configuration of effects in KDE. But the bug persists even when I turn off compositing.
There is a small difference in the bug between Cinnamon and KDE: First off the line has a smaller width in Cinnamon and full-screen applications covered it.
Also it isn't an offset per se off the whole X screen, but instead only of the KDE/Cinnamon "workspace". E.g. windows snap with the line, but behind the flickering you can still see the current window, e.g. when moved to the right.
(Sorry for not answering for so long)
EDIT: Also the flickering gets more extreme the smaller the reosultion was I changed to inbetween http://i.imgur.com/WQ4fkmf.jpg

My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. Am near an Apple Store, but anyone else had this problem

My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. I'm near an Apple Store and can take the laptop in, but has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for your input. I didn't completely flesh out what I'm seeing visually. The resolution settings are all correct for my screen. The problem is if, say, looking at the gray startup screens or a completely white full-screen image, there is a perimeter of graying, almost as if the LEDs are somehow not as bright as the rest. It's also curious that the thickness of this phenomenon is almost exactly the same as the metal bezel around the display. I will be taking it to an Apple Store for a look, as I'm also having several minor hardware problems that need to be addressed and remedied.

Get rid of intrusive HUGE and UGLY dark bands behind HUGE icons on Home Screen

How do I get rid of the intrusive, huge and ugly dark bands behind the huge icons, and reduce the size of the icons on the Home Screen?
On my 8320 I can use pictures of my kids for wallpaper. On the 8900 they have wasted half of the beautiful screen with these huge ugly icons and dark bands - cuts right through two of my kids eyes and two of my kids mouths and below.
What were they thinking? They advertise the 8900 (and the 8520) by emphasizing a full screen picture - but when you actulally buy the phones, they have inserted these cursed screenscape hogs. Any firmware fixes yet? Or, now that Nokia has released their E71 that not only handles email as well as my BB, but also allows me to create and edit docx, should I abandon the 8900 as a lost cause and buy the E71? And, as long as we are discussing RIM's myopic short sightedness, why no 3G on this device?
Please hurry, my buyers remorse clock is ticking and I need to send this thing back to the carrier if it can't be fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, to change the size (I have six icons per row not five) go to options>advanced options>accessability and change the amount on the grid. Default 6x6, then 4x4 3x3 etc., you can also change the colours. Hope I`m not barking up the wrong tree but have bbn of help! Regards Kew

I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display

I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display. I've done the following:
-Shutdown the computer, and restarted in Safe Mode by pressing the Shift key after the restart tone
-Shutdown the computer, and restarted by pressing Command, Option, P & R after the restart tone
-Checked display resolution, Best for Retina
-Hooked it up to a Dell external monitor and via projection to screen. There are no lines on the external or secondary screens
-Just curious, I ran a color utility which can not repair 4 items, maybe this is another issue.
This is a brand new Macbook Pro, just out of the box. It was fine for two days without any issues, fine last night while in use, opened it up this morning with the line.
Anyone now how I can fix this on my own?

If you are within the first 14 days from the date of purchase, return the MBP for a refund or an exchange. If you are after the first 14 days of the date of purchase, have the MBP repaired under the warranty provisions.
Ciao.

I grasp that you are having an issue with the display but if you adjust the position of the display it disappears.
Here is a link to Display Quality Issues that may help.
As you stated it goes away when you reposition the display the connection cable may have become loose or damaged from opening and closing the display.
Here is a link to the HP Pavilion 14 Notebook PC, HP Pavilion 14 Touchsmart Notebook PC, HP Pavilion 14 Touchsmart Ultrabo.... Chapter 4 page 36 has removal instructions that may assist you in checking for that problem.

Align select dropdown menu on the right edge of parent box

Hello,
I was wondering if you can help me about an issue i have with Firefox browser.
I'm designing a webpage and i have a "<select>" menu with numerous options.
On Firefox the left edge of the dropdown menu aligns to the left edge of the
parent "<select>" box whereas in other browsers (Chrome, IE) aligns to the right.
The entire menu, is located on the right edge of my page
The result is when the innertext of an option is very long,
exceeds the margins of the page and is cut.
Is there any hidden option (css-fix), so that i could make dropdown menu align to
the right of the parent box , just like other browsers?
(I have some screenshots of the menu, but i don't know where to post them)
Thank you in advance!

Could you post your Screenshot and code.
There is "browse" icon above POST REPLY button, it helps to add your image.

Call bar is now vertical on the right side of screen. How do I get it back on the bottom? I've tried rebooting and changing screens but it won't change. I can't find a setting for that call bar.

This isn't a native setting that I can find Relsea. Did you download an application that maybe has this function? Any luck if you reboot the phone by pulling out the battery?
Please let us know what happens next.
Thanks,

New tab "+" button moved to the right edge; how to move it back?

It used to be (like yesterday) that when I had a number of tabs open, the "mini-tab" "+" (new tab) button would be to the right of the last tab. Now, suddenly, it's all the way towards the right edge of the browser window, regardless of how many tabs are open. If there are a small number of tabs open, there is unused space (where more tabs would go).
Okay -- so I'm change adverse -- how do I move the new tab "+" button over to the end of the list of tabs?
Thanks.

Although the "+" appears on the far right end of the bar when you are in Customize mode, it should slide over next to the last tab once you close out of Customize.
If it doesn't, I wonder whether something else could be in between, such as an old "flexible space" control? (These are no longer in the Customize dialog as an option, but I don't know whether old ones were removed.)
Following the old principle of turning it off and back on again, could you move the "+" to the main toolbar and exit Customize to save that, then go back into Customize and move it to the tab bar again, to see whether Firefox takes the hint?

Hard to help without knowing which variant of iMac you have. They've been in continuous production since 1998 in four major families, and what works for one familiy of iMac may not work to diagnose one from another family.
Doing "About ths Mac" will show the processor info. Post what it says about your processor (and Mac OS version while you are there) and that will narrow what family of iMac you have.
This forum section is for the three iMac families made before 2006.
