I can hardly see my MBP screen in outdoor daylight.

I would like to use my MacBook Pro outdoors but the screen is barely visible or has too much glare to see it in normal daylight. Does anyone know of a way to do this? My iPad and Kindle both show up very well in daylight - why not my MBP?

Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue. Have you played around with the brightness & dim keys (F1 & F2)? Check your display settings?
Mac OS X (10.6.6)
Consider updating to 10.6.8

Screen is dark can hardly see

Screen is dark and can hardly see.Help?

If not successful then try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults.
If still the problem that indicates a hardware problem. Likely the backlight or its driver circuits and service is necessary.

My i phone screen is so dim I can hardly see my apps or my messages, I have brightened the settings as bright as it will go. what should I do?

I would recommend taking it in to your local Apple Store to see what the people at the Genius Bar can do for you.

After installing lightroom 4 and cs6 extended from a disk on a new lap top everything is very small. I can hardly see any tools or text.

I can hardly see the tools and text to be able to navigate after installing lightroom 4 and cs6 extended from a disk on a new lap top. I changed the screen resolution too 1280x800 and it still looks the same.

I got an update message for iOS 7 but can't download as it keeps shutting down and the wheel goes so slow that you can hardly see it moving and says it will take 5-6 hours to download approx. 64 megabytes

Which way are you trying to update - iTunes or WiFi in the iPad settings? Try switching from one method to the other method. If you don't have a computer and need to use WiFi, try closing all apps and then reboot your iPad and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the apps in the recents tray. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar when you are done.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
It wouldn't hurt to reboot your router either by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds, plug it back in, let it fully start up and then try to update again.

I can hardly see calendar alerts on macbook. How do I get it back to where I can easily see them?

I have a macbook pro 17" bought in 2011 running OS X Yosemite Processor 2.3GHZ Intel Core i7, Memory 8GB 1333MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512MB.
For the last two days my calendar alerts and notifications are appearing so light that I can hardly see them. How do I get them to show up so I can see them? I have no idea how this started. I have tried looking at Notification Center on System Preferences and changed them from Alert to Banner but it made no difference.
Thanks for your help.

With respect, you actually cannot store folders on the left side of the Dock - only on the right side. I wonder if you're talking about Launchpad, which looks like a silver rocket and shows you your installed applications? It's not actually a shortcut to the Applications folder, though. You can certainly drag Launchpad into the left side of the Dock from the Applications folder.

My bookmark seperators in a newer version of Firefox are too light. I seem to remember in older versions they were much darker. How can I make them dark again. Now I can hardly see the seperator.

How can I make the bookmark separators dark? They are very light and I can hardly see them. I seem to remember that in older versions of FireFox they were much darker and easier to see.

On an older 1.5GHz PowerPC G4 mac, and on a
newer iMac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
both running OSX10.5.8, and using the default FF 3.6.6 theme.
The separator lines are so faint as to be not there, giving the impression of just a big gap in the menu being displayed.

Dear all, I just downloaded the now IOS7 on my iPhone4S, the background picture has faded a bit, the folders that contains my icons are solid bright grey and the keyborard is pail/bright grey and I can hardly see it. Is there a way that I can change it?X

Dear all,
I just downloaded the now IOS7 on my iPhone4S, the background picture has faded a bit, the folders that contains my icons are solid bright gray and the keyboard is pail/bright gray and I can hardly see it. Is there a way that I can change the colors, the shades, etc? I don't like the new layout, it's too bright and too pale, like the face of a Georgian monarchy. Thank you for your help and support.

I changed the background picture, which is a dark pink flower, now the folders have become solid pink! Not esthetically pleasing

When I launch a video from Finder the video is not visible, it's like it's playing on an extended desktop but I can't see the other screen - what is going on?

Hi Dan - I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'kick in Expose', can you please explain?
It's a weird one as it doesn't happen all the time. Could it have anything to do with running Apple TV and the MacBook 'thinking' there is another display (extended desktop) and playing the video there?

Can you change colours for events to make them darker. I can hardly see them in year veiw.

How do you make the colours for events in my calendar darker. With the up grade to Yosemite the colours in my year view are so light I can hardly see them.

i wanted to know the same thing, as wanted to change some of the dates to red, but also because it accidently imported birthdays from address book and all of the birthdays came up in red. so maybe if you want to change one or two dates to red maybe christmas day. you make a contact and set the birthday to 25th December and the date will go red.
silly but might work.

How can I see the whole screen on my original iPad, without having to scroll up or down. Something changed and I don't know how to get it back. I don't have a computer to hook it up to. Thx!

My front screen seems to zoom in when I start it now. AND, now I can not see the page fit the screen. It makes me scroll on the borders to move parts of the screen into view. Something changed and I don't know what happened or how to get it back to normal. Please HELP!!! Thx!

it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
hope this helps

Can't see the my screen at bottom right

When I Use an application, my screen is too large and i can't see the bottom right. So i can reduce it and i don't see some information.
Can You Help me please?

Hey Rafa and welcome to the forum -
Is there any room to the upper left to move your window in order to expose the lower right? If so, move the window up and to the left by click dragging the title bar.
Is your resolution set to 1280 x 800? This can be checked at System Preferences/Displays and the Display button.
What application is it? Some are available to resize using the menu.

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.
