Faint letters and pictures

HELP!!! Does anyone have the problem with certain letters and box outlines and pictures faded almost so you can't read it. Check boxes are like this also. My letters "m, i" especially and at least one or more letters in a word is faded. It is like the type is not clear and solid black. The technition told me my contrast was turned up and he turned it to the normal level. This has not fixed the problem. My brightness is all the way down and so is the contrast.
Is this a flaw? It is really annoying. If this is apple's fault they should have fixed this in tests before putting the new intel core 2 duo on the market. This is really unacceptable. Words should not be fading in and out. It literally happens to almost every word. Links are like this too.

Hey, When I took it in for repair and actually just got it back and am majorly upset. There are major gouges on the back casing. You can actually feel one deep one and there are 5, the largest being 6" long.
I checked the lcd for scratches because that is what they replaced. It is in horrible condition. A gap exists by the back hinge effecting how the case closes.
Anyway, I asked what the deal with the type is. The guy told me that the resolution for the computer is set to optimally look right at 1280 X 800. Apparently set by Apple. This however is way too small for me to read. So, his solution is to increase the font size. He told me that all lcd screens are like this. (Funny though, I had a compaq presario laptop bought in March, and the text didn't do it at all to where I noticed it.) I did however check some of the notebooks at Circuit City and did see some of this showing. To me though, It is really, really noticeable on the Macs. I can't see anyone comfortably viewing text that small of a size.
Hope this helps as to explain why. It isn't really a solution however.

  • Msn looses letters and pictures when opened

    when i open msn under safari as my home page the letters,words,what ever just dissappear when the mouse pointer goes over them.i have to reload 4 or more times to get it to stop.i have since tried firefox and dont have this problem. what cause this?

    Yes. Since iPhoto is now linked to the proper library you can delete those other library folders.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Hi. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but it appears on a dim letters and i can not open it.

    Hi. I need some help on the following problem. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but is was not the icon on it i previously remembered and it appears on a dim letters and it can not be opened ... How can i recover it??

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • My hard driver is apparently full - but it is full of "other" files.  I have cleared downloads and removed my music and pictures, but it still thinks it is full - how do I access and delete the files?

    I am having real trouble with the mac book air and i dont know what to do.  It thinks it is full, i get warning messages every day, but when i check how the storage is being used it is 45.79 GB of "other" and I can't work out where to locate and delete these files.  I have removed all my music and pictures, there are nearly no documents on the bloody thing, i have cleared the downloads, I have run a cc cleaner programme but nothing seems to touch this "other" amount.  Its so annoying as it is getting to a point where i can't use the computer properly anymore.  Do you have any clue what it could be or how i can deal with it?
    It did this last year but not as bad, i never solved it then i just removed all my own files but now "other" is taking that space too.  On a windows computer you would be able to click through and view what was taking up the space but you can't seem to do that on a mac. could it be a virus that makes the hard driver think it is full?
    Any ideas what I can do?

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Ios8 problem. ibooks individually open up ok black print on white, but the "page" shows as dark charcoal with indistinct pale lettering and I can't read it.  Nowhere to fix the "page".  It's crap. Please help

    I'd still prefer to keep separate user accounts. I never had any issues like this before. The only time I started having a problem was when I was just trying to force empty the trash a few months ago. I came on here looking for a solution and someone posted a way to empty the trash using the terminal. Before then, I hadn't used the terminal for anything--it was just another app in my utilities folder.  (None of this has anything to do with having separate user accounts. Plenty of people with kids make second and third user accounts on their laptops so that multiple people can use one laptop, having more than one user on a laptop is not very difficult.) But thank you, I'll try that out and see if it works!

  • The keys on my mac book pro (2009) are not working properly, both letters and numbers.  I think I pressed something,but I cannot find a numlock key or other to undo this problem

    Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

  • How do I view the songs on my iPod and how do I delete some songs and pictures that are on my iPod through the new iTunes

    I just bought an iPod off of a friend andher ex put alot of terrible music and pictures on it and I want to delete some music but I can't see what is on The iPod through the iTunes so I can erase music. So all I wanna know is how do I see and erase the stuff on my iPod using iTunes on my lab top

    If you have iTunes 11 on your laptop then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to connect the iPod and it should show on that left-hand sidebar, and underneath it should be a Music section e.g. similar to :
    Select that and the music should be shown on the right-hand side of iTunes, which you can then use to delete it.
    You should be able to remove all content from the iPod directly on it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings, as any apps etc that are on it will be tied to the previous owner's id - that will also remove any photos from the iPod

  • Magsafe indicator faint/dim and blinking amber/green

    I am working on a Macbook purchased in November 2008. Until now, no problems, but this morning after a full night's charge, I ran it for about two hours without being plugged in. When I plugged it in to charge, the indicator light on the magsafe would not light and the macbook would not take a charge. Fortunately, I had another magsafe power adapter, but this would also not charge the battery. I reset the SMC, thinking it was the cause of the problem, but still no luck with either adapter.
    I went to the genius bar, where they plugged in my macbook with one of their adapters. Charging and startup. They recommended that I had a problem with my adapters, so I purchased an 85w adapter. I brought that adapter home and plugged it in macbook. Nothing. I went to my THIRD older magsafe adapter and when plugged in I got a faint/dim LED. Unplug, take it back to 85w. No light, no charge. Back to third, older magsafe and I get a faint/dim LED that flashes between faint amber and faint green.
    The computer will not start up now even with the battery removed.
    Thoughts?

    Hi
    The problem might not be with the adapters but with the power source. Try plugging in the charger into different wall sockets in the house. Try a friend's house too
    If that still doesn't work go back to the Apple store with the charger and ask for help
