Dark spot (not sure if it is a dead pixel).
I have a dark spot in my menu bar. I'm not sure if it is a dead pixel... it almost look like if there is dust inside my screen. Do you have something to recommend to take it away?
If you have not already solved your monitors problem, you can try PiXel Check, to see if you have any dead or stuck pixels.

I have the ishuffle 2nd generation. When I plug it it, itunes recognizes it but the light flashes green a few times and then stops. It is not charging. Is the battery dead or can something else be wrong? Any advice??
To rule out a problem with the shuffle's onboard software, I would try a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help, you should do a test to confirm there is not a problem on the USB port, such as lack of power to operate the iPod and charge it battery. Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.
If that does not help, it is more likely that the problem is a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as the battery. -
IPhone 4: display has dark spot, brightness is not uniform
Hi!
I'm Hector from Italy.
My new iPhone 4 just arrived from the Apple Online Store. It works fine but the top left of the screen has a darker spot; such non-uniform brightness becomes very evident when opening, for instance, Safari (that has a white background).
Should I send it back to Apple?
Or is this a known software issue?
If I go to Milan's Apple Store will they swap it? I would rather not stay without iPhone since all the phones I have at home have a standard SIM and not the microsim.
(without considering that after spending 800€ I really hoped to get a quality product)
Thank you!Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions....
If I go to Milan's Apple Store will they swap it?
This being a user to user forum we can't say what the policy would be at a particular store but if it were me, I'd take the iPhone and ask for an exchange. Make sure and take proof of purchase with you.
You can provide feedback for "top left of the screen has a darker spot; such non-uniform brightness becomes very evident when opening, for instance, Safari (that has a white background)." here.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
And check out the Apple store / Milan website.

Hi,
I have accidently deleted safari from my iphone and can't find it to put it back. I did it ages ago as I didn't know what it was and I was trying to create extra space! Now when I click on a link say in an email, it doesn't come up with a browser. I have looked at the apple site but can only see a download for mac users. Not sure if this is the case because it is preinstalled on the iphone.
Help needed please!

Impressive iMac 24" Dark Spots
Sorry to repeat. But I don't understand why what I posted yesterday disappeared.
My story is long to write down. I hope any of you who got experience with dark spots/patterns on iMac screens can help me to look into the problem I appreciate your help.
The associated pictures of this post can be found here in my google album:
http://picasaweb.google.com/zhangchao/IMacDarkSpots?feat=directlink
I purchased my iMac 24 inch in July 2008. After using it for 2 months, I noticed some dark patterns started to appear on the machine’s 24 inch screen. I should have taken it to Apple back then if I wasn’t using it all the time.
These patterns become clearer if you set the background to white. A lot of iMac users have reported similar problems. Actually, if you google "iMac dark spot", you can find a lot of such posts. The patterns I got are very similar to what’s reported here in the very first picture here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1915086&tstart=15
I contacted Apple two weeks ago when I finally got some time free. I was asked to go to the Apple Store here in Milwaukee’s Bayshore mall and left my machine there for 3 days for them to investigate. When I went to the store to pick up my Mac, I talked to the gentleman who did the repair and investigation work and a manager. They basically told me that I got the patterns because there was some weird “white substance” everywhere in my machine. The substance was circulated between the layers of glass cover and the LCD etc appearing to us as the dark spots. However, it’s easy to remove the stuff between the LCD and the glass cover but impossible to remove the stuff which got into the LCD.
They strongly suspect the white substance came from where I placed my machine (my living room indeed). They don’t think the “white substance” is hair or fiber. It’s like pure dust and very subtle. Since they believe the cause of the problem is environmental, they will not fix it for me under my warranty.
But I disagree and I think the white substance indeed comes from inside of the machine.
Overall, I think my apartment is pretty clean. The machine is always placed on a wooden table which I clean every week. There aren’t a lot of things around my iMac so it gets good air circulation.
My apartment is located in an apartment community. Hundreds of people live here. The community is not new (20+ years old) and is professionally maintained. I talked to the manager of the community and some of my neighbors, none of them have ever heard of anything similar.
In my apartment, I have never been able to observe the "white substance" anywhere aside from the iMac. I did some investigation into the case, placing some blue tape under the hole of the back of the iMac where air comes out. After doing that for over one week, the only place that I can observe any "white substance" is on the piece of blue tape. The pictures in the album will make everything clear. This makes it really hard for me to believe the problem is environmental. In addition to that, if the "white substance" is so subtle and so weird (as if the only purpose of its very existence is to get iMac into trouble. Other computers and electronic devices in my apartment are completely fine), how can so many people got similar dark patterns on their screens?
However, Apple doesn't take this as evidences that the problem is not environmental. Right now, I am gonna buy air purifiers and hire professional indoor air inspectors to help me to find where the trouble is.
I read several posts re "iMac dark spots" problems. Some lucky guys simply got their screens replaced by Apple and others were just left with no help.None of them actually gives detailed explanation of the cause of their problems. I notice most of reported problems happen to iMac 24 inch machines shipped in early and mid 2008.
If you have any insights, please let me know. I greatly appreciate it! Thanks!Since you purchased your iMac in July of 2008, you are right on the edge of your one year limited warranty.
Go here https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do and see if you iMac is still within the one year limited warranty. You will need the serial number which is located... click the Apple Menu then click About This Mac. Where you see the Version number 10.5 click there twice. The serial number will be displayed there. If you can't see it there, open the System Profiler. (Applications/Utilities) Select Hardware on the left. The serial number is on the right.
If it were me, I'd take the iMac back to that Apple store and *ask to speak to a manager*. Tell them you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your first visit and want your iMac repaired.
Make sure and take in your original purchase receipt from when you purchased the iMac and any other pertinent paperwork.
*"They basically told me that I got the patterns because there was some weird “white substance” everywhere in my machine."*
I don't believe that.
This problem started within 2 months of using your iMac. It would take the force of an F1 tornado to get that much dust inside the monitor that fast.
If you still can't get that Apple store to repair your iMac, if you can, go to another Apple store OR find an Apple certified repair provider. Perhaps you know of a friend with a Mac that might be able to give you some recommendations for a place to take it. But make sure they are Apple certified.

Please help
My iphone camera got a dark spot. Im really sure that this happen to my cam not a screen.
A dark spot is very annoying when I want to take a picture.
I have tried to clean and looked for the way to fix it, but its not work.
If your iphone used to be like mine and you can fixed it, then teach me please.
I really need some help.Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

I was just working on some homework on my macbook pro and all the sudden I noticed this dark spot/dead pixel in the right center of my screen. At first I thought my screen just got dirty, but that was not the case. Can anyone tell me what this is... and if apple will cover this?
http://home.comcast.net/~eddie8t/DSC00533.JPG
http://home.comcast.net/~eddie8t/DSC00534.JPG****... well here is the weird thing... there hasn't been any sort of blunt force or anything even close to that, that happened to my laptop. I make sure that if I ever take it out that it is gentally set down. I have the laptop sleeve as well as a laptop bag.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe when I sent my Macbook Pro into Apple to get the logic board replaced that somehow some sort of pressure was applied to the screen to cause this. Would the problem that I'm having appear several days/weeks/months after the actual day when some sort of pressure is applied to the screen? I think this whole dead pixel or whatever it is happened sometime within the past 3-4 days in which my laptop has been sitting here on my desk with nothing stacked on top of it. -
there is a dark spot on the apple logo on my macbook pro. my screen is fine and i can see clearly. im not sure what to do? will this mean something worse is going to happen on the screen?
Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple). If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

i dropped my iphone yesterday on its backside from my computer desk to floor.the distance is about 50cm. and it has a phone case. it did't work any vertical direction lock .then i restarted my phone, it recovered.but i am not sure is it ok ?
Good job with trying the two-button reset, that would have been my first advice for you. Next, I suggest you take the reset/update a step further. This step may risk losing the data on your phone, but since it's not working already, there may be no other solution.
On your computer, make sure you have internet acces and the latest version of iTunes installed.
Launch iTunes and connect the iPhone
Press and hold both sleep/wake and home buttons
After ten seconds, only release the sleep/wake button.
If you were successful, the iPhone screen should stay dark and the computer should display a popup.
If you see a message saying "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode," then continue by clicking yes to each subsequent popup.
If the iPhone displays the silver Apple logo start over with step three of these instructions. -
My MacBook is stuck on the loading screen. Please help! Not sure what to do
Hi, so my MacBook has stopped working for some reason
I've just tried switching it on but it has stopped on the loading screen.
I am scared and not sure what to do.
Please help!!!Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider. -
Hi, I bought an Imac 27'' like 6 months ago, but my screen seems to have some dark spots in the corner, when I put any white image, on that spots it shows like the screen were dusty but is not, at the same time in the middle screen when if Iput some black image some pixels show lighter than the others. is there any solution? thanks for answer .
Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

Code Doesn't Run - Not Sure Why.....
Hello Everyone:
I have an Oracle “program” (I wouldn’t call it a program, but just some code for a one off move of data). I use TORA as the interface for Oracle. I do not have a copy of TOAD. But for some reason, when I run this code, it takes all of 0.003 seconds and doesn’t actually move any data. Below is a copy of the code. If I take the query being used in the cursor, it does return data and takes about 1.5 seconds to execute, but when trying to run this code, it takes 1/10th of that time, so I am doing something wrong but I can’t figure out what.
I also tried to copy this code into SQLPlus, but that also does not run. Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong? I am not sure if it is my environment and how I am trying to run this or the code itself is flawed.

Photorec - not sure if stuck or still doing something
Hi!
I'm trying to recover files from a ~8GB thumb drive (or sd cards? not sure.) image I dumped to disk a few years ago. Because I don't remember what exactly I was trying to rescue there, I started photorec with just about everything enabled (including brute force), set to the "fat32/fat16/ntfs" mode and selected - among other things - the "find deleted partition" mode on the whole image even though there's also a working partition on it (figured I'd try the whole / raw file first, partition later).
It's been running for ~2 days now @100% CPU (one core only) but barely takes up any RAM / Disk-IO at all. There are a hand full of "recup / inode" directories + recovered files in the recovery directory + xml files, but all of that has not changed since the very beginning. The tty still looks like this:
PhotoRec 6.14, Data Recovery Utility, July 2013
Christophe GRENIER <[email protected]>
http://www.cgsecurity.org
Disk /home/user/Desktop/stick.raw.image - 7948 MB / 7580 MiB (RO)
Partition Start End Size in sectors
No partition 0 0 1 966 80 10 15523840 [Whole disk]
Stop
... and nothing is moving / changing.
Now... I'm not sure if it's still doing anything or if I should try to "Stop" / kill it. Also not sure if I can safely attach strace or gdb or something without disturbing the running process and loosing (potential) progress. No idea how photorec is supposed to look/act - and if this is normal.
So - is there anything I should be aware of before I decide how long I'll let it run (or stay frozen) like this?Thanks!
Those change constantly:
< nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 8151747
> nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 8152751
everything else in io + status:
cat /proc/26077/io /proc/26077/status | grep -v nonvol >| /tmp/proc1 && while true; do; cat /proc/26077/io /proc/26077/status | grep -v nonvol >| /tmp/proc2 && date +%T; diff -s /tmp/proc? || cat /proc/26077/io /proc/26077/status | grep -v nonvol >| /tmp/proc1; sleep 60; done;
14:33:56
Files /tmp/proc1 and /tmp/proc2 are identical
.. has been identical for an hour or so unless I did something wrong with that oneliner.
Not sure what htop should tell me except that the process is using 4GB of ram. I've also been keeping an eye on conky for a while now - I think that photorec periodically stops using 100% of one core and starts using 10% of all 6 cores instead... but this forth and back could probably just be the kernel trying to optimize cpu usage depending on what else I do? Photorec leads my conky CPU top5 most of the time and also is holding its spot between firefox + Xorg in the top5 for memory usage.
According to iotop, the PID is - maybe - writing to disk very slowly ("actual disk write") (it "flickers" to ~200K/s every few seconds and then goes back to 0). No reading, also for some reason "total disk write" also stays at 0. I haven't seen photorec pop up in my (always visible) "top 5 IO" from conky since I started it (most of the time that's "sleep, sleep, another sleep and 2 kworkers" with a total of 0), so I might just be using iotop wrong here.
strace - when attached to the PID - says nothing at all (except for the debug output which I don't understand. Haven't used strace often except to monitor file access, maybe I'm doing it wrong).
sudo strace -ff -d -p 26077
new tcb for pid 26077, active tcbs:1
ptrace_setoptions = 0x1f
attach to pid 26077 succeeded
Process 26077 attached
[wait(0x80057f) = 26077] WIFSTOPPED,sig=SIGTRAP,EVENT_STOP (128)
pid 26077 has TCB_STARTUP, initializing it
^Ccleanup: looking at pid 26077
detach wait: event:128 sig:5
Process 26077 detached
dropped tcb for pid 26077, 0 remain
I don't know if that means:
(a) That it's definitely stuck
(b) That it's still doing some sort of bute-force / expensive algorithms on those 4GB of data it has in RAM - without (currently) finding anything useful though that could change any second (or never)?

Series of Dark Spots at the Screen Bottom
Hi all,
Just purchased my Macbook Pro 15" w/ Anti-Glare LCD screen. This is the 4th Mac I've owned over the years so I'm familiar with them. The second time I went to use it, I noticed a series of dark spots positioned horizontally at the bottom of the screen. Each one is absolutely even in shape, size and spacing and it looks as though each spot fans out into the top of the screen, gradually decreasing in intensity.
Unless a person has a white background or black background towards the bottom of the screen, it's not as visible but it is definitely there, it looks funny and I'm wondering if that's just the way it is or is this a defect?
Thanks,
-EvanI have spots at the bottom and left side of my LCD. First appeared to look as the screen was dirty (and as mentioned by another post, only really visible on light or white background). They are not the same size. Took it to Apple Authorized repair, tech said it looked like the liquid (of LCD) was "leaking." Said he needed to send photo to Apple, Apple denied repair/replacement citing abuse / environmental (excessive heat-cold). Needless to say I am not a happy camper, my MBP is a very pampered laptop, no abuse or exposure to cold/heat extremes. Tech said this could eventually "creep" across screen. On top of that, who wants a computer with a "defective" screen? I have appealed to Apple to reconsider their denial; will post here when I hear back.

New to DW, not sure how to do this . . .
Hi!
I'm quite new at this and am wondering how to do something. I
tried to look for it, but didn't know what it's called or referred
to as.
On a page, I have an image and then two thumbnail images
below it, each a different version of the main image. What I want
to be able to do is, when a thumbnail is clicked, I want the larger
size of it to show as the main image (and maybe have the original
in the spot of the clicked thumbnail).
I'm not sure if I am making any sense, but I hope I am!
Can anyone offer a bit of advice on how to do this?
THANKS!!whoops! The finger is faster than the eye... no, wait....
