Could I have some help identifying and fixing dead/stuck/hot pixel?

Hello, yesterday whilst watching a movie on my Macbook Pro I noticed something on my screen, at first I thought it was just something stuck on the screen but it seems to be an issue with a pixel. I would appreciate help regarding identifying if it's a dead, stuck or hot pixel and any ways of fixing it. It seems to be smaller than what I had previously experienced (on other machines) dead/hot/stuck pixels to be and I can't really tell if it's white or a light blue. It doesn't show up on any colour other than greys and blacks.
Also, is it likely that taking it to an apple store will yield results if it's still in warranty and I explain that as a photographer it's a very annoying thing to have on almost the centre of the screen.
I hope you guys can provide me with some help, it will be much appreciated.
Stefano.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's a dead pixel or it may be dust, too. In both cases, as your computer is in warranty, take it to an Apple Store or reseller and you should get the display replaced for free, even if it's only one pixel.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's dust. I have seen a lot of cases related to dust in this forum, but it has got the same solution as the dead pixel

4 black pixels appear on the top left

If I work on my iMac for a while, 4 black pixels appear on the top left area of my desktop. If I move an application window over top of them, they are not visible. They are only visible on the wallpaper. If I change the wallpaper they disappear and if I go back to my old wallpaper, they aren't there any more either...
Has anyone an idea, what this might be? I guess a dead pixel, or a stuck one should be permanently visible, even if I move another window on top of it...

: D I have no clue, I've never done it before, i think it had something to do with taking out the batter and holding the power button or something-another
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
i think this is it.
Another problem may be an app you have running. It could be causing a conflict and making the pixels go gimpy. I dont think its a serious problem and it could be fixed software wise. If all else fails, reinstall OSX. : P

Screen has a Dead or Stuck Pixel ! (Pavilion DV6 3158ca)

I have recently noticed a dead or stuck pixel on the top left area of my laptop screen, it shows a white dot, when a white or bright background is being viewed. If the background is black the dot isnt visible. Im sure its a dead or stuck pixel, I have tried a few pixel fixing softwares, no help!
I still have 4 months left on my HP warranty, but I have read they wont change it unless there are 4 or 5 dead pixels! Anyone had any experience with this, or any ideas? It totally sucks to have a good working computer and a white dot which keeps grabbing my eyes attention.
HELP!!!!!!!

What is the size ???
A pixel is the size of a pin point.
If you see a dot that is larger than that it could be press marks.
Press marks come from the keyboard, palm rest, mouse buttons and sometimes from the LCD lid.
Does the dot line up with any of these???
Let us know.

Black pixels on certain colours

One some images, as I increase the resolution, black pixels appear. When the image fits the screen, I can't see anything but as I increase the resolution, these black pixels become very obvious, but only on certain colours, like the blue of this dress.
Help !!! What's going on ?
Anyone know ?
CS5

Looks like a known problem with some AMD/ATI graphics card drivers: pixels with red=0 are displayed black. As far as I know, the very recent Catalyst 13.2 beta 5 is good.

IPhone 5 is rebooting, showing error code on startup and turning white screen with black pixel edges.

My iPhone 5 yesterday began acting weird. Here's a list in order of what is happening.
Phone reboots randomly
Plugged phone into itunes, phone screen lower 3rd started dimming to black after I plugged it in. I unplugged it and it reboot.
Unlocked the phone later in the day and the screen began turning White and an edge of black pixels began forming on the edges of the screen. The phone kept heating so I know it was eating the battery. Got home plugged it into the wall socket and it started charging, batter was empty.
Phone's worked fine this morning
Phone did random reboot, but this time, code was visible in the upper left hand corder on the apple startup logo, it stalled here for two minutes and then finished loading.
Phone worked fine, , did the iOS 6.1.4 update.
Phone did random reboot again, this time the reboot vibrate held in vibration mode for 20 seconds.
Phone is now working fine.
Ah, should I bring it in?
Thanks,
Clay

Based on what you're describing, I'd say make an appointment at the genius bar and have them take a look at it. This sounds like a hardware problem.

New T530 with dead / unresponsive pixel in upper middle of screen

I have one dead or unresponsive pixel in the upper middle part of the screen. It is stuck in red color. It is very difficult to ignore this red dot and it is very annoying to use my machine with this red dot on the screen. What can I do?
I ordered my T530 on July 27th and received it on Aug 20th. I've used it for two days and used UDpixel or similar online tools in attempt to unstuck this red pixel. The pixel is still stuck in red. What can I do about this? Need help. I need to use my laptop for school.
Thanks.

How do i fix my ipod's screen it looks lik black on white and i can barely c the screen.?!

how do i fix my ipod's screen it looks lik black on white and i can barely c the screen.?!

Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn of either Invert Colors (iOS 6) or or White on Black (earlier iOSs).

In iPhoto 09 Info does not show tags on aperture, time, iso etc. Other tags like place, pixels are shown. There is no little arrow on this info menu to go to full info box. How come ?

Draw line between black pixel : coordinates of selected pixels ?

Hi
I want to build a script which can check a Photoshop file and :
- find black pixel
- for each black pixel, look for another black pixel within maximum distance of 5 pixels
- then draw a line between the two black pixels.
I wrote this script below (my first script ...), but it's VERY slow (and my final image is VERY big), I think because I test the colour for each pixel of the image.
So another solution would be to first select black pixel with magic wand, then the script save all coordinates of selected pixels, then my script wil test only this pixels (less than 1% of the pixels are black in my image).
Is it possible with JavaScript ?
Thank you for your response !
Marc

The first alert should have shown the first pathPoint.anchors for all the subPaths in the path.
The xyArray is just something I added for the alerts. The array 'myPathInfo' should have all the info extracted from the path.
myPathInfo.length will tell you how many subPaths are in the Path.
myPathInfo[index].entireSubPath.length will tell you how many pathPoints are in that subPath
myPathInfo[index].entireSubPath[index].anchor will tell you the position of that pathPoint.
The indexes start with zero.
The bounding box of the entire subPath can be hard to work out just from the pathPoints. Unless all the point are corner points the path may extend beyond the anchors. One think you can do is create a new path from just one of the subPaths, convert by to a selection, and then get the bounds from the selection. You can make a new path from a subPath using the 'myPathInfo' array from above.
app.activeDocument.pathItems.add("myPath1", [myPathInfo[0]]);
That line will make a new path from the first subPath. Change the index to use a different subPath.
Some other info that may help.
app.activeDocument.histogram[0] will tell you how may black pixels are in the document. But its no help determining where they are. If that returns 0 there are no black pixels.
If you don't have any luck working with converting the original color range selection into a path and need to go back to searching with the colorSampler it may help to use a grid approach. For example make a square selection, the size depending on how scattered the black pixels are, say 25x25px. Then use color range to select black. With an active selection it will only select pixels in that selected area( if any). You could then check to see if there is a selection. If not make another same size square to the right edge of the last area. If there is a selection, the solid property will tell you if more than one black pixel was selected( unless they are right next to each other ). If solid == true the selection bounds will tell you where the pixel is. If false you have to then search that square. But if there are areas where there are no black pixels checking a square range of pixels at once should be quite a bit faster than checking every pixel. And checking the historgram first will let you know if you should bother searching to start with.

32 bit HDR - black pixel speckling when Remove Ghosts checked

Hi,
I'm using LR4.4, PS CS5 12.0.4, OS X 10.6.8. I'm able to view the 32 bit TIF back in LR, but when I zoom in to 2:1, I can see obvious speckling of mostly black pixels in various dark parts of the image. This only happens when I have Remove Ghosts checked. I actually had just thought of doing a test without it checked to confirm my suspicion, and I was right. Unfortunately I need it checked for some of the images with motion.

Thanks,

Here's a very noticeable example. Others are less apparent.
http://www.johnmaclean.com/32bit_black1.png
And I'm getting these dialogs, which I don't think have any relevance.

I am having a similar problem with Merge to HDR from Lightroom 4 to CS6.
First of all, here is the dark exposure processed entirely in Lightroom. As you can see there is good shadow detail and no blown highlights:
I
Now here is the image using the darkest and lightest (of 3 exposures) manually blended. Here the shadow detail is naturally better (although it isn't obvious on the small image shown here):
Now here is the image from HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the darkest of the 3 images. As you can see there is very bad (practically no) shadow detail (look at the hillside on the left):
Here is the HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the middle of the 3 images. As you can see the clouds are badly blown/posterised:
And here is the HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the most over-exposed image. As you can see the sky is completely messed up:
Essentially unusable for this sort of image. Hope this gets fixed soon!!

Bug with big Black Pixel on Photoshop CC

Hi,
I recently install Photoshop CC (iMac 2,8 Ghz Intel Core i5, 16Go 1333 Mhz DDR33, Mavericks)
When using different layers, I have a HUGE BLACK PIXEL coming on the picture (365x365px) , often on the low lef corner.
It disapears when I strongly zoom inside but it comes back when I zoom out...
Any idea please ????

Many thx Mylenium,
it seems to be working right now without OpenCL... I also had a bug with zoom in and zoom out but it seems to be ok too...
I hope it will continue..
(I use to work on heavy pictures with many layers, hope everything will not be too slow without OpenCL)

Dead or Stuck pixels on brand new iTouch?

I just bought my first Apple iPod Touch two days ago and i just now noticed a dead or stuck pixel on my screen. Its right smack dab in the center of the screen and can get pretty annoying when im watching a video or when im looking at photos. In addition to that you could say that im OCDish about my stuff in the way that one dead pixel is going to annoy the crap out of me. I wanted to know if i took the itouch back to the apple store would they give me a new one or fix it for me? This dead pixel is going to kill me. I mean stuck pixel. Im pretty sure its not a scratch cuz when i ran a stuck pixel finding online app the pixel would change colors when on a certain color. Anyways any help would be great thanks anyway.

Thanks. I will probably just head over there when my dad gets home so he can take me.

Strange black pixels appearing in photoshop but not in bridge, help?

First Photo is viewed in Adobe Bridge (Print Screen Image)
Second Photo is viewed in Photoshop (Print Screen Image)
Third Photo is saved as JPEG in Photoshop (Print Screen Image) - Notice no strange black pixels
Sorry there's no consistency in crop but why am I seeing these strange black pixels and why do they disappear when saved as jpeg or same photo viewed in different viewing software? Please help.
Thanks in advance for all your time and understanding.

No Special Event Stream with QT7.1.3? Just a black pixel. :-(

hi all,
the official link to the stream of the latest Apple Special Event (http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/index.html) doesn't work for me.
When I click the "Watch the Special Event" button, QT 7.1.3 starts but just with a 1 second lasting 1x1 black pixel.
Anybody else with this problem?
I reenabled Flash in the settings and HTTP with port 80 as protocol but that didn't help. Before the upgrade to 7.1.3 I was able to watch every Apple Event stream with no problem at all!
strange thing ...
thx
Stefan.

works now.
changed nothing.
just tried again and again and again.
maybe Apple changed something, maybe it still was the tremendous demand.
