Dark Fuzzy stripe along top of screen

I have a new Mac Pro and a 20" cinema display. I have had a dark stripe running across the top of the display, looking thicker and kind of like liquid toward the right side. Nothing has been spilled on it. It just appeared one day a few months ago. I don't think it's a toolbar shadow issue, it persists in screen-saver mode.
It's not the machine, it happened with my Quicksilver as well.
Anyone have an answer?

My iPhone 3G has a dark verticle line from top to bottom on the screen and no home screen, why , and what do I do to fix it?

As stated above, it is also fully charged and I reset it by holding down home and top button. This is my old phone and was given to my nephew to use as a iPod to play games. It is not being used as a phone, I have the five. He showed it to me on FaceTime and it originally had several stripes about one quarter inch wide, grey and dark grey and verticle top to bottom. After I had him reboot it by holding down the two buttons, it just has one stripe down the middle vertically. Is it dead? It's way out of Apple Care. Also he says the home key doesn't work but he activated some other " button" that appears on the screen and acts like the home key. I have no idea what this is. Thanks for any help. Jon

"What is this from and how do I get rid of it?"
Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

Just got a 5C, is it normal that when you transition from Siri to calling someone that the symbols along the top or screen go all feint and blurry?

I have one it works fine. yeah, the Mac instructions aren't great. Try this.
(1) make sure you have your VCR audio and video outputs connected to the side with the two selection switches.
(2) be sure you know the difference between the audio and video outputs no matter which colors you use.
(3) make sure the indicator light is green on cable that connects to your computers firewire port.
(4) when you operate the vcr through Imovie. you will only be able to play your vhs tape. so to fast forward or reverse. you must use your vcr remote or your hand.
(5) to import your footage just click on import in imovie.
That should solve your problem. Also, in the future put these questions in the imovie forum.
P.s. if this is helps you give me a vote or two. LOL

Is there a way to get rid of dark hue at the top of the screen for the iPhone 4 with iOS7.1?

I was just wondering, after updating the OS to iOS 7.1 to see if there is a way to get rid of a dark hue at the top of the screen. Before updating the wallpaper looked normal (just like the original picture), but after updating there was sudden a dark hue at the top of the screen. Is there anyway to get rid of it, because it's getting in the way of the wallpaper.

Try and slightly zoom in on the image and relocate it until the hue is gone. You shouldn't have to zoom in too much just a little bit Nd try moving the image around until the phone believes it doesn't need to contrast anymore. Good luck

Dark area extending in a band across top of screen

This may be a variant on this problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1191580&tstart=0.
I have a irregular dark band across the top of July 2005 20" iMac display. It looks like thick dust - behind the display. I suspect it's some kind of LCD delamination.
I have a picture of it on a blog post, but Apple doesn't allow personal URLs in posts. I've seen images in forum posts, but I don't know how to do that!
Anyone know the cause and outlook? I'm betting I will have to live with it until it gets worse -- any repair is likely to be pretty darned expensive (no AppleCare). I'm disappointed to have the display dying after about 2.5 years of life -- I expected more.

I've gotten a comment on my blog from someone with a similar problem. I suspect it's delamination of the LCD panel probably related to the well known heat issues of the G5 iMac line (Hot hot chip, small space).
I haven't contacted Apple because I don't have Apple Care on the machine and it's out of warranty. (I get an extra year through my AmEx card, so I had two years of coverage. The extra year from the card is why I don't buy Apple Care.)
I would call them if the problem were more common, since then there would be a (small) chance of some kind of extended warranty problem, but I haven't really seen that many complaints. It's probably a bit unlucky to get it.
If it doesn't get worse I'll just ignore it, but if it does worsen I'll probably buy a second display (if the iMac supported extended desktop I'd already have the second display) and making it a children's machine.

Black plastic strip that connects the screen to the keyboard is cracked, ideas for fixing without replacing the whole screen?

The black plastic strip that connects the top portion (screen) to the bottom portion (keyboard) is cracked and getting pretty bad. I brought it in to get fixed, but I was told it is just a costmetic problem. I am worried that soon it will be cracked completely. Is there any way to just replace that portion without replacing the entire screen?

I completely agree. If it does crack all the way through, does it effect the use of the computer though?
I'm just trying to plan ahead.

Empty "Strip" at top of Pages

I hope somebody can find the answer to this one. Been ripping my hair out!
I have no idea what I did, but now there is a white (or blank) strip along the top of my pages on http://www.aloe-vera.org
I've retraced all my steps, but nothing seems to get rid of this strip. I would be grateful for a second (or more) set of eye on this one.
Many thanks, David

When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still?!

When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still. So I need to hold down the keyboard while i open it. Other than that it works fine despite the fact that the fan noise some times is loud and sometimes it's getting warm at the base. I wonder if this can be fixed if i go to one of the apple branches.

Yes. Take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.

How do I only show typed URLs in the Top Sites screen?

It's really obnoxious to see hundreds of ephemeral URLs that you'll never visit again on the Top Sites screen. Is there a way to make this user friendly so I can only see the URLs I typed. I am happy to set something in about:config.

No, this is for Android version. I would love to disable the stupid "Awesome" screen. The link you posted explained how to turn the tab garbage off on the desktop version, but Mobile (i.e. Android) version ignores the parameter value.
Likewise, the above "browser.urlbar.default.behavior" parameter set to '32' produces the reasonable behavior I want on the desktop, but the Mobile (Android) version just ignores this configuration parameter.

After updating to ios5 the shortcut 'tapping top of screen' to scroll back to top does not work! Is there a way to get that back?

Since updating my ipad2 to iOS 5 the shortcut 'tap top of screen to quickly scroll back to top' no longer functions! How can I get this back?

It still works on my iPad - is it working on any of your apps e.g. Safari, Mail, Notes, and are you touching right at the top of the screen (I've seen a few other posts implying that the area of the screen that you need to touch isn't quite as deep as it used to be) ? Have you tried a reset to see if it works after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why does my Lightshop 5.6 hangs on opening with "not responding" at top of screen.

I managed to use the programme for the first time after original install. Next day it just hung on opening with the panels all their on screen but with the splash screen still centre and "not responding" at top of screen. I am totally new to Lightroom and set it up using Scott Kelby's book Lightroom 5 everything appeared to set up properly. I uninstalled the programme and reinstalled exactly same thing has happened. Is their a maximum caralog size that is usuable, mine is 2.7TB and is on one of the desktop's 3 discs.
Advice please, thanks

No, but try terminating and restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

Qosmio F30 starts with blue stripes during the start screen of Vista

My Qosmio F30-114 runs since years without Problems with Vista Ultimate.
Since some Days there is a huge Problem.
The Qosmio starts with blue stripes during the start screen of vista.
So I deleted the driver of the graphic card and used the standard vga card driver. the hardware assistent found a driver on the system.
For a short moment i was very lucky.
After a restart, there was a blue screen. after the next restard, again the standard vga card driver.
What can i do?
The download section of toshiba has no drivers for graphic card.
And really ... i wonder - how does it works all the years without problems...
Has anyone a solution?
thanx
toshibalover ;-)

Hi!
First of all do you have this issue on an external monitor too or only on the internal monitor? Maybe its not a problem of the graphic card so check this with an external monitor.
I have checked the Toshiba website and there I can find some drivers for the Qosmio F30:

I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15".

I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15". It doesn't resemble dead pixels I've encountered in the past (it is only visible behind a white or brightly colored background), and I'm positive it isn't sitting on the surface. The computer is only a year and a half old and my software is up to date.

Hi austinbread,
It is hard to tell exactly what your issue with the MacBook Pro’s display is, but it is possible that there is a pixel anomaly. See this article for further information -
