How to fix a ded pixel?

Dear Apple Supporter,
How can I fix a dead pixel on my computer?
I have Macbook Pro Retina Display less than 5 months old.
I would appreciate any guidance.
Thanks.
Fabio

Take it to Apple and ask them to check it out. They are the only ones that can give you the replacement that is necessary to fix the dead pixel.

How to fix stuck/dead pixel on my iPad 2

I just got an iPad 2 and I found out that there is a stuck/dead pixel on the screen. I thought that I could ignore it at the beginning but it just gets too annoying and it grabs my eye when doing anything. So I need to fix it. But first I need to know is it dead or stuck.
On some colors it appeared in two different colors, it changes each time I look at it from different position.
So on white : blue and red
On black : it does not appear
On purple : red and blue
On red : blue and red (so it does not appear)
On blue : black and blue
I hope I gave enough information. Waiting for your help...
P.S. I entered on YouTube and saw a video called stuck pixel fixer or something like that and I opened it for like three minutes each day for about three days now, and it did not fix it, do I need to play it for a specific time? Or do I need something else?

there is an app (cant remeber the name sorry) but it it basical flix up soild images of colour (red,blue,yellow ect...) and it did it at a speed to try and shake the pixel into working agian, sorry i cant remember the name....but its sumit like screen cleaner or sumit like that.

How to fix a stuck pixel on IPad 4

I just recently got my IPad 4 gen and have only had it for a couple days. My first impressions are this thing is amazing!!!! But after a couple days I've noticed a stuck pixel in the center of my screen... Is there a way to fix this or do I have to drive across town to the apple store to see if they can help? Hopefully I can do this alone cause I just bought this and I'm a bit low on cash now...

Your product is still under warranty, so the repair won't cost you anything.

The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?

Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.

Boot from your installer disc. If the problem is still present, then take it in for service.

Vertical faded pink lines and pixelated fonts in the Menu, how to fix?

Hi there,
I bought my iMac in Jan 2010, and just after my Apple Care expired three years later I started to have some problems I have no idea how to fix, hope someone can help.
When starting the computer, I get either a grey screen (I cannot go further or see anything else), or after starting the computer, seems like only the screensaver works, and if you try to open any menu, you'll get a black screen.
All this happened right after the last update.
I followed all the steps advised by Apple to fix the grey screen, but none of them worked.
I also formatted the hard drive (I was using 10.8) and installed other OS (10.6).
It worked well, except that I got now time vertical faded pink lines right after starting the computer, and the fonts in the menu looks like pixelated, they're not clear. but it only happens with the menu, Safari and other programs look fine.
Any idea what's going on?

This looks as though you may have a failing GPU.
You can try these resets that may help, but it looks like a hardware failure.
You may want to take it in to an Apple store genius bay, they will diagnose it for free and give you your options.

How to fix a pixelated picture?

how to fix pixelated picture

Pixelation occurs when an image is being viewed at too high a magnification or has been too greatly enlarged.
Show us the original picture at it's full resolution (you may need to put it on a photo sharing site if it's too large for a forum post), explain what you are trying to do and we may be able to give better advice.
Some general suggestion though if you want to try for yourself (work on a copy of the image, or just duplicate the background layer and work on the duplicate) include, Sharpen, Gaussian Blur, Noise Filters (try Despeckle), increasing resolution during a resize operation, varying the resizing algorithms.

Strange colour spots (red & green) appear after RAW files converted to JPEG, anyone know how to fix it?

Strange colour spots (red&green) appear after RAW files converted to JPEG, anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

I use "Export" function to convert the picture from RAW format to JPEG format, resolution 240 pixels per inch. Strange red dots appeared in the area supposed to be dark grey, as per the picture below. The red colour does not appeared in the original RAW picture when viewing from Lightroom, only exist in the JPEG it created. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

How can i color the pixels that are only in the area of the rectangle i'm drawing on the picturebox1 ?

In the form i have picturebox mouse down event:
bool DrawIt = false;
private void pictureBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
timer1.Stop();
LoadPictureAt(trackBar1.Value, sender);
pictureBox1.Refresh();
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
rect = new Rectangle(e.X, e.Y, 0, 0);
DrawIt = true;
pictureBox1.Refresh();
rect is a global Rectangle variable.
The the picturebox mouse move event:
List<Point> NewPoints = new List<Point>();
private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left)
if (DrawIt == true)
rect = new Rectangle(rect.Left, rect.Top, Math.Min(e.X - rect.Left, pictureBox1.ClientRectangle.Width - rect.Left), Math.Min(e.Y - rect.Top, pictureBox1.ClientRectangle.Height - rect.Top));
NewPoints.Add(e.Location);
pictureBox1.Refresh();
In the mouse move event i'm drawing the rectangle i didn't check it yet but in the move event i want to draw the rectangle in real time on the picturebox1.
Then the paint event:
private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
if (cloudPoints != null)
if (DrawIt)
CloudEnteringAlert.pointtocolorinrectangle = cloudPoints;
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
CloudEnteringAlert.Paint(e.Graphics, 1, 200, bmp);
First in the paint event how do i use the rect to draw the rectangle ?
Second cloudPoints contain all the pixels in the pictureBox1 Image. Could be 44000 or 400.
cloudPoints is a List<Point> For example in cloudPoints index 0 i have a coordinate x = 100 y = 200 of a pixel.
Then i send the pixels coordinates to another class with Paint method and color the pixels in yellow.
But instead sending all the pixels coordinates in ccloudPoints i want to send to the paint event only the pixels coordinates from cloudPoints that exist inside the rectangle i was drawing. Only the pixels in the rectangle i was drawing.
So in the end the List<Point> pointtocolorinrectangle will contain only the pixels coordinates exist in the rectangle i was drawing.
1. How to fix the code in the move event ?
2. How to change the code in the paint event so it will send coordinates of pixels only that exist in the drawn rectangle.

I did it this way:
bool DrawIt = false;
private void pictureBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
timer1.Stop();
LoadPictureAt(trackBar1.Value, sender);
pictureBox1.Refresh();
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
rect = new Rectangle(e.X, e.Y, 0, 0);
DrawIt = true;
pictureBox1.Refresh();
List<Point> NewPoints = new List<Point>();
private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left)
if (DrawIt == true)
rect = new Rectangle(rect.Left, rect.Top, Math.Min(e.X - rect.Left, pictureBox1.ClientRectangle.Width - rect.Left), Math.Min(e.Y - rect.Top, pictureBox1.ClientRectangle.Height - rect.Top));
NewPoints.Add(e.Location);
pictureBox1.Refresh();
private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
if (cloudPoints != null)
if (DrawIt)
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rect);
var pointsAffected = cloudPoints.Where(pt => rect.Contains(pt));
CloudEnteringAlert.pointtocolorinrectangle = pointsAffected.ToList();
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
CloudEnteringAlert.Paint(e.Graphics, 1, 200, bmp);
Working perfect just what i needed.

How do I find the pixel size of a photo?

I have taken a photo or found one online.
It's now on my ipad.
How do I tell the pixel resoution of the photo via the ipad?
I have two of the same photos on my device at the moment and want to delete one. They may both be 2048/2048, but without emailing them or putting them in Dropbox, and viewing on my laptop, I don't see how to tell.

Get the Actual Pixels App from the App Store. It's free and will tell you the pixel size of any photo you open.

Hi 22chill,
I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

How I fixed my iTunes 7 / Nano 1.2 problem.

Like so many of you, I too lost the ability to connect my 4gb Nano to my iTunes when I upgraded to v7. Of course, Apple hasn't figured this out yet, but several here have.
Here is how I fixed mine. Once you connect the Nano (after the firmware upgrade), iTunes 7 reports it as corrupt and in need of a restore. The problem is that it won't. Try the following to fix the problem:
(note: this will reset your Nano entirely, and you WILL lose any music which is loaded on it. You will not lose whatever you have in iTunes).
1. Unplug the Nano USB cable and perform a reset on the Nano.
2. Restart your computer to ensure all services are running correctly.
3. Once restarted, open My Computer and plug in your Nano. Wait until it show's up as a disk drive (this can take several minutes).
4. Right-click on the drive which represents the Nano and wait again (up to several minutes) for the menu to pop up.
5. Select Format and (you guessed it) wait for the format utility to appear.
6. Make sure the File System is set to FAT32 then click Start. Do not click Quick Format. Wait some more (up to ten minutes. You'll see the progress bar move after a while).
7. Once finished, the Nano should now be recognized by iTunes. If it isn't, unplug it, wait a minute and replug it.
BTW, this retains the 1.2 firmware. I think the 1.2 firmware is incompatible with the data which written by previous versions. The format clears this data out.
As always, YMMV.
Good Luck,
Steve

I was having trouble seeing my Nano 2nd in iTunes and was afraid to do this step; but it works. My Nano was updated to version 1.1.1 and now everything seems to work perfectly. Keep in mind you will lose everything that is stored on your Nano when you format it.

How to fix applepushservice.dll issues for downloading iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit

I recently had iTunes crash on my home PC, Windows 7 64-bit. I have tried several attempts to uninstall and reinstall the program and it still does not work and I receive error messages. The latest: The program can't start because ApplePushService.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem. Problem is, the articles that I have seen state this is an Unknown source and my firewall will not allow it to be installed. The original error was a Windows Error 7 (registry & .dll issues). Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
