External Apple logo shows through to display

I just returned to my iBook after 5 minutes (the time I have set to have the display turn off) to find that there is the vague outline of the Apple logo (the illuminated one on the outside over of the iBook) showing through to the display. It is a fuzzy white rendering of the logo in the middle of the otherwise black screen. I was wondering if this is a problem? Or if it's normal and no big deal. The reason I'm concerned is because this has just happened for the first time. Thanks in advance.

Daniel,
It's normal. The Apple logo is just a clear panel in the cover which is illuminated by the screen backlight. If you have a light somewhere behind your iBook, it will shine through when the screen sleeps.

    Do you mean a circle with a slash through it?
    If so, the drive doesn’t have or can’t find the necessary startup files.
    Boot into Recovery and reinstall.

    You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing.  It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable.

    It appears you are in Thailand and currently the iphone hasn't been released there so you most likely have an unlocked iphone, you most likely wont find anyone here to assist you with your iphone nor will Apple assist you, i would suggest going back to the place or person where you purchased this iphone for them to assist you.

  • Computer wont start after apple logo shows up..

    I have a friend who owns a MBP 13 Late 2012, and suddenly he explains computer after he shut it down, the gray screen shows up and apple logo too, but never enter to the OS.
    I have had this problem with a 2009 iMac in the past and they told me it was a problem of humidity and or dust, and so they had to change the Motherboard.
    Have any one experienced this ?
    I even did the PRam reset several times with no luck, actuallu It wanted to start (get into the OS) but MBP kept with little spinning circle.
    Any thoughts?

    So I received the MBP, and did the Command R to get to recovery mode, and after the World spinning, I got this Message: www.apple.com/support and then -5010F ... (image 1)
    Power it off and reboot it with OPTION key, and selected Macintosh, and after that the Apple logo shows up with the little circle spinning infinitely.
    What do you think? Doesnt go any further than this: (image 2)

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Boot into Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot can take a few minutes compared to a normal boot.
    Once you are in Safe Mode open System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items
    If you have anything listed there to launch when you startup your Mac, delete all items.
    Then go to the Apple menu / Restart.
    You can also use Safe Mode to do a "live verification" of the startup disk in case it needs repairing.

  • Why is my apple logo shining through my screen.

    I noticed today that my apple logo is showing through my screen. Whenever I am on a white background or app, I see it. It is an outline of a backwards apple logo. There is a disk around it. It is located in the sampe place as my external logo. Please tell me why.

    Pay no attension to most of the above posts, they are fooling with you. Especially Ogelthorpe.
    The reason it is showing through to the screen is because there is a strong, bright, light shining on the back part of the lid.
    The Apple logo is just white plastic of some type and it will transmit light both ways, from the screen light to the outside and from a bright light outside to the screen.
    Ogelthorpe suggestion of asking the Genius Bar guys is like walking into a hardware store and asking for a Left Handed Hammer or a Sky Hook, or a Board Stretcher.
