Discolored Display/not image persistence or burn in

I have a late 2007 Intel iMac. I had this problem once before already and Apple replaced the display. I see that it has happened again. There is a random amount of grey discoloration happening on the left side of the screen. Not evident with a white background, but quite evident with a grey background. It does not appear to be burn in or image persistence. I wonder if the small halogen desk lamp I have on the left side (some 8" from the edge of the computer) could be responsible? Anyone offer an explanation for this?
I do have AppleCare and can take it in. I'm assuming I can't fix it myself.

I do NOT have a halogen lamp next to my iMac 7,1.
I do have 2 small Bose computer speakers on either side.
I have horizontal discolorations on the left side similar to yours.
LCDscrub http://toastycode.com/lcdscrub/ might fix it, but you will have to buy the software as the trial version is really useless (for obvious reasons).
I am living with the problem until next Summer (AppleCare expires in August 2010) when I will take into Apple for a fix.

Image persistence / Screen burn

Hi,
I'm having problems with the screen on my iPad and was wondering if this is a common issue as I've already taken one back with exactly the same problem.
If I'm surfing the internet for more than 10 minutes and then quit back to the home screen and rotate the screen I am left with a faint image of the top navigation (battery status/time etc) where it was when the screen was previously rotated the other way.
This then lasts for a number of hours when the iPad is switched off to fade (the length of time varies depending on how much I've been using my iPad)
Any body else noticed this, am I just unlucky to have had two iPads do the same thing or is it common?

Hi B0b,
Thanks for your reply. I am aware of the issue with LCD screens, it just seems to me a little excessive that both iPads I've had develop the problem after only being on for 5-10 minutes (the first one was worse - starting to do it in under 5 minutes).
I was just wondering if this is an issue with all iPads as I don't really want to take it back again but at the same time, it seems a little annoying that it happens so easily.
Many thanks,
Rob.

My iMac 27" Late 2012 has Image Persistence Problem

I'm wondering what to do about an annoying image persistence problem on my 27" late 2012 iMac. I got the iMac just a few days ago. Monday actually, so 4 days ago.
It's the 3.4GHz i7, 8GB, NVIDIA 680MX 1TB fusion drive model.
Overall it has become the love of my life, but the image persistence thing is getting harder to ignore. This happens after only a few minutes of use. If I follow Apple's instruction on dealing with LCD image persistence, I can make it go away for a while, but it comes back very quickly.
It is extremely noticeable on a plan dark background. It looks as thought he screen has been left on for a very long time with the same windows open, but it occurrs in less than 5 minutes of use with nothing more intense than a bit of web surfing.
I've read that this is happening a great deal on these new iMacs, particularly teh 27" machines.
While the problem seems to be known to those of us afflicted I don't know if Apple has acknowledged an issue or not.
Here is a sample of the complaints: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1509571
I can make the ghost image vanish by bringing up an all white scree for a minute or so or using LCD Scrub.
I'm wondering if anyone else has foun a solution other than asking for a replacement computer, which Apple seems to be granting on this issue?

If you cannot resolve the issue yourself, then return the computer for a replacement. You may do this freely within 14 days from date of purchase, so don't delay.

Image persistence on New 24" LED Cinema Display - Quick Reply needed please

Hi
I have a new 24" LED Cinema display - delivered 14 days ago today (hence needing a quick reply!).
Yesterday I noticed image persistence down the entire left hand-side of the screen - should this happen on such a new display?
Should I return it / take it back?
Thanks for any advice.
For what it is worth the image persistence is the left-hand column of the iTunes window - I can read the entire column from the top where it says "Music" down to the "Selected item" that appears above the album artwork window.
I do use iTunes a lot but certainly nothing out of the ordinary and often in reduced size mode or behind other windows. (i.e it does not sit in the same place all the time).
Since I took the screen out of the box the screen-saver has been set to turn on after 15 mins and the Energy Saver is set to turn the screen off after 20 mins (i.e I have taken screen saving measures).
Finally, I have done the "display an all-white image on the entire display" as per here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807) and after six hours of this the problem has improved, but certainly not gone away.
So, to return, or not to return, that is the question.
Many thanks.
Rob
PS - I bought this online at Apple Store - if I do return it, could I do this in person at physical Apple Store, or do I have to do it online?

I've had this same problem on my 24" iMac for some time (it's still under my AppleCare warranty, but it began doing this long ago). I searched these forums a year ago and never found anything about this, so I'm glad I found these posts here today.
I guess it's time to haul mine back into the store. Also I note that my screen has developed some dark areas, as if the fluorescent backlight has become irregular.

HT5455 Can long periods with no screen saver cause permanent image persistence or other damage to my IPS retina display?

Can long periods of login screen idle or no screen saver cause permanent image persistence (or other damage for that sake) to my IPS retina display?

Aperture 3 project does not display any images in one Project

This is a strange situation. The bullets below outline the situation:
The project does not display any images
When I place the pointer over the project it shows there are 500+ images
I have located the RAW images stored in my aperture library
I can pull up the images using a smart folder and searching for photos taken on the event day
This is happening only to one of my projects that I know of (weird!!)
I have tried to 're-add' the image by both importing and dragging and dropping into the project, neither works
I tried the following basics:
Fixed permissions
Rebuilt the database
Tried to re-import the data, but when I have the 'don't import duplicates' these are not an option
Found the images in my Aperture library
I created another project and drug all of the images into that project
Any idea how I can fix this?
My fear is that if I delete the original project, the original master images will be deleted.

The most common cause of this is some sort of stuff in the search box at the top of the browser that you don't expect to be there. Just clear it and all your images should show up.
RB
One note - if you drug your images from one project to another it moves them vs copies them unless you hold down the option key.

Safari on iPad does not display GIF image anymore after upgrade to iOS 4.3

1) Could anybody (especially those in Apple iOS or Safari teams) advise me why the Safari on my iPad cannot display some images (probably in GIF formats) on some webpages anymore, after I upgrade my iPad to iOS 4.3? These images on the webpages can be properly displayed on when my IPad runs with iOS 4.2.1. There should be no problem with these embedded image files because they can still be properly display in Safari running on my Macbook air.
2) Is there any solution to this problem?
3) Is it possible to downgrade my iPad back to iOS 4.2.1?

I am having the same issue with two different ipads (one Wifi and one Wifi-3g) running on our home network (Verizon FIOS). The website in question is www.tvwc.com and the main logo in the upper left corner, a .gif, does not display, only a "?". Other images on the site, in .jpg format, display correctly.
I was running 4.2.1 and am now just upgrading to 4.3.

Firefox not displaying some images linked from Photobucket

Firefox 19.0 there is a website where they have a gallery of pictures all the images from the gallery are hosted on Photobucket, they use to show up as normal but now for some reason they don't, I tried clearing the cookies and the cache, I made sure the download images automatically is check and every other bit of advise I could find on the web to no avail.
One thing I notice though is if you right click the missing image to get to view image information you will see Location: the address of the image is correct (copy and paste in the address bar bring up the image)
Type: text/html (This is odd it should be img/jpeg)
Size: 0 kb (of course the image was not downloaded)
Dimension: 0 x 0 (again no image downloaded)
So if anybody has an idea how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The images on that page aren't links to real images, but at least currently link to an html page (page info > media shows type text/html).<br />
You can see that if you right-click an image and open the image in a new tab by middle clicking the View Image entry in the right-click context menu.<br />
Firefox seems to have a problem to display the image in this case.

Mail 6.0 does not display embedded images

This was true in the prior version as well, but now I'm about to give up on the product.
While HTML emails do display images ("Display remote images in HTML messages" is checked in preferences), those with embedded images do not. Instead, I get a series of attachments, which I can go through with QuickLook (but alphabetically by filename, not in the order in which they're embedded in the email).
This can't be how it's supposed to work.
FWIW, the emails do display properly in other mail clients.
All suggestions much appreciated.

I was beginning to think I was the only one having this problem. I can view animated GIF's in my Verizon Yahoo account with Safari but not in Mail 3.0. Can also view it in my .mac account only if I go on the web to view my mail. Cannot view them in my .mac. account with Mail. All my settings are correct also. It sounds like there is something buggy with Mail 3.0. Mail 2.x worked fine with animated GIF's with me.

Hi,
how do you access the image? Put yourself in our shoes and look at your question and then add the missing information. E.g. does the image show if loaded on a page itself and not a popup ?

Outlook does not display linked images after installin 7525 printer

Installed 7525HP photosmart printer earlier today. Since installation, Outlook does not display linked images when I open emails. p6620f HP desktop computer.

You're probably not going to like the answer: Welcome to HTML-based email, and web (browser- or mail-based) rendering incompatibilities and quirks.
Newer Microsoft Internet Explorer is (much) better than older releases, so see if a newer Windows client or a newer version of Outlook does better.
If you really want to see what's going on here, view the raw HTML that's getting generated, and see what Microsoft wants or uses or expects within Outlook, and send that.

How to display an image if user does not have flash installed?

Hi, Not all people have flash and the ones that don't will
have an unpleasant experience on my website. How can I display an
image instead of the flash itself for people that don't have flash

website. Please explain how I can do this! I haven't done flash in
a long time so be simple! Thank you!

In the site you can download the SWFObject1.5.
It includes a javascript which is embeding the flashmovie

Why are some emails not displaying remote images

There have been a few threads on similar subjects but I haven't found a solution, or even a reason for the problem I'm seeing.
I've the display remote images option to "on" and in most of my emails images are shown. But for all the messages from one domain no images are ever displayed. The URLs are valid because the images show on my iMac in Thunderbird. On my iPhone I get a placeholder (box) with either a question mark or the "alt" text for the image.
Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing the problem?

Sent messages moved to the account's Sent mailbox indicates the message was successfully sent by the SMTP server used to send the messages with the account but is no guarantee the message will be accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server.
The recipient's incoming mail server may be incorrectly flagging messages sent by this SMTP server as junk (messages sent via webmail access for the account does not use an SMTP server) and with the large amount of spam being circulated, a return email error message from the recipient's incoming mail server is no longer always provided if the message was not accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server or when flagged as junk by the incoming mail server.
This is not a problem with the Mail application. The recipients reporting this problem need to check with the email account provider for their account.

Safari not displaying all images

Safari does not seem to display all images on certain pages. For example, on
feed : // news.google.com/?output=rss
all images for news headline items show the "questionmark" icon.
And yes, "Display images when the page opens" is checked in Safari preferences.
Has anyone had the same problem, and found a solution?
Using: Safari Version 5.1.3 (7534.53.10), OS X (10.7.2).

I recently downloaded Mountain Lion, and now have Safari 6.0. I heard so many good things about this new version I decided to try Safari again as my main browser. But now, I get this old problem. Images not displaying. Not sure if I will go back to Chrome or Firefox.
There is no Appearances Tab in Safari 6.0 Preferences, and in thumbing through the tabs, I don't see anything under any of them re. displaying images.
It has happened many times, but the particular site I am at now is
http://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-analyst-commentary-2012-7?op=1
I do get pics at http://news.google.com
Hmmm, I get pics at http://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-analyst-commentary-2012-7#
but they have an ability to see the next 12 pages all on one page which is
http://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-analyst-commentary-2012-7?op=1
Does this mean the site is doing something "wrong"? and Safari therefore won't show the pics? perhaps I will go back to Firefox that will show "wrong" pics
