I have a screen problem on start up
can any body tell me what this is
If you have a monitor, connect it to the MBP. If the monitor shows an image, then the display or the display connection is faulty. If the monitor is the same as the MBP, then the GPu is the prime suspect.
Ciao.

I have Possible screen problem with iPhone 5 - Is this normal?
I have an iPhone 5 purchased about 4 months ago and I'm not sure if this is a defect or not but when I boot up the iPhone and the Apple logo appears all around the logo is totally black except for the upper left corner. That corner has a yellowish/whitish tint when I assume like the rest of screen around the logo it should be totally black. There is no other issue or complaint about it I just I'm just wondering if this is common or can lead to future screen problems.
Thanks for all your input!This is not normal. Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation

After few months , my screen have a lot of dirts , and I can see the dark inside.Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -

Screen problem during start up
Is anybody familiar with different start up screen colours? Just recently my start up screen is showing (before the normal grey screen is displayed) a different colour for some seconds! Than it turns to the normal grey screen.....Is this a sign that my computer software is encountering problems/conflicts or is this a hardware problem (coming up) Please your remarks!
Hi hans0555,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have seen colors on your display when you start up prior to the gray screen. I know the following article doesn't specifically have your experience listed but I would suggest the steps to troubleshoot.

A few days ago my window at the top of the page suddenly disappeared, so now I cannot access new or quick to type in internet addresses anymore. As well, also the little google window on the right top side disappeared. To make things worse, even on another top bar were some icons, one of which looked like a house that - when klicked - got me to google. Now I have nothing but only tabs of old internet addresses to access, but not what I want, i.e. a new address that I usually just typed into the address bar.
Full screen mode on Mac: command+Shift+F
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

I uploaded a few photos from a memory card and went on iphoto to crop a few. When I finished a message box popped up stating Your album titled " ____" was deleted from facebook. The photos are still in your iphoto library. The only choice that you have is OK. I did a option command escape and forced quit out of iphotos. I thought this might stop the fb album from being deleted...but it didnt! The album was deleted from my facebook page! The next time that I opened iphoto a message box popped up and again another facebook album was deleted. I am now afraid to open iphoto! How do I make this stop? Note; I do have a lot of photos on my macbook pro and they are all backed up on an external drive. I like keeping the pictures on my mac but if it comes down to it I would rather delete files from my laptop than lose them on fb. HELP!!!!

I have a screen problem with my iPad3. Something has caused the screen to get extremely bright and all the colors to appear wrong. It's as if they have all reversed. I have both restarted and reset it a number of times but it won't correct. All apps have been closed out completely. Operating system is 6.1. This has happened twice in the past but a reset corrected it. I have no idea what might have caused this either time. Any ideas for help would be appreciated.

Screen problem ( yellow hue ) ???
I had received the Sony Xperia Z1 today from O2.ie (Ireland) and I have a screen problem ( yellow hue ) ???
I have tried with and without X-Reality
I tried taking different photos and different places but all my photos came out with a bit of yellow hue in it.
Especially the front camera came out way too yellow.
I also tried to take the photo with Iphone5 in the same lighting area but the Iphone5 didn't came out yellow as I used the sony xperia Z1.
Is there something wrong with the screens ?
Or any problem with the processing system ?
Do you have any idea to solve this problem ?
Hope to hear from you soon.
If you would like to see the comparison photos I can send you by e-mail.
Regards ,

Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB conncected, both worked well before, but both now spinning, blinking, and not showing up on the screen as before,
Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem
my usb devices are: keyboard, mouse, printer, SD-USB-M3, and LaCie d2 DVDRW:
the mouse and printed are plugged into the keyboard: i have tried to move, these around, and have even tried just the mouse, printer and SD-USB-M3, but still the same problem

How can I solve grey start-up screen problem?
Hello all,
my seemingly healthy mid-2010 Macbook running the latest version of OS 10.6 has suddenly become unresponsive and won't boot up past the initial grey screen. Below is a list of things that I thought were relevant:
Over the last few months there have been frequent (a few times a week when connecting via USB internet dongle) kernel panics associated with Telstra Sierra AirCard 320U (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2776956?tstart=0 ; http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/210007-continued-kernel-p anics-can-damage-my-machine.html )
Not sure if related, as this happened when not connected (but hadn’t signed out of USB modem account, which other users say could affect things).
Then yesterday, having removed dongle and connected to internet via ethernet (routed through modem to AirPort): -
Machine was really slow – almost freezing, then froze up.
Hard re-boot.
Got folder icon with question mark.
Did another hard re-boot and got the grey screen of death.
Tried re-booting with install disk.
Didn’t get far until I re-set SRM and PRAM, but once booted up and using disk utilities from install disk the hard drive wasn’t even showing. In Terminal it was listed as five disks of 500GB (approx.), the size of my hard drive, but couldn’t get to mount from Terminal.
On another re-boot (with option key) to choose start-up disk, the HD appeared, but as soon as I clicked on it, it ‘puffed’ (like when you remove an icon from the dock) away.
I read on a forum that a loose connection could be the fault (I just had a battery replaced at the Apple Store, so thought it could have been nudged then), so I removed and re-installed the hard drive.
This seemed to fix it and I booted up from the hard drive, logged in and everything seemed to be fine. I did a backup (previous was two days ago, but good to not lose anything!) to Time Machine, ran Disk Utility, verified disk, repaired permissions, looked at the SMART status and everything was fine.
Then the machine slowed down again. I opened Disk Utility again and the HD wasn’t even listed and slowly the machine froze again and now won't boot up even from the install disk. Just sitting on the grey screen of death. Have reset SMC and PRAM but no response.
Any suggestions very welcome!
Also, any insights into whether this is a HD problem or something else. I live very remotely, so taking it in for service is not feasible, due to both time, but mostly cost. If, despite the apparent OK SMART status and Disk Utility verification it is definitely the HD I can easily get another - if it's something else, well it might be time to buy a new mac.After having no luck, I later tried removing and reinstalling HD, but that was no help. I then re-installed an old failed HD and was able to log in using Installation disk (but not prompt hardware test by holding D key at startup). Disk utility showed no HD (which may be expected as it was a failed drive). I then restarted again with no problem.
I powered down and returned the current HD and was able to start holding down C to boot from disk. Once I was in, Disk Utility showed my HD correctly and I performed a Verify on the disk and ‘Macintosh HD’ as well as repaired permissions on both and the result for all was a pass.
I then used the Startup tool to select the HD as the startup disk and this appeared to be successful. At the login screen I re-started again, this time in Safe Mode, which was also successful. I then saved some media files that are excluded from Time Machine backup and did a Time Machine backup to two separate disks. When I tried to check the time machine history of one of the disks (‘enter time machine’) the machine froze again. I selected restart from the options after pressing the power button, then restarted in Safe mode. Then I created a bootable clone on an external hard drive – just to be sure!
After updating software I then re-booted and ran Apple Hardware Test (extended) off the Installation disk, which ran for 2 hours and found no problems.
I am going to run a test on the RAM (even though I'm pretty sure the hardware test does that) - any other thoughts still very welcome!
I think the next step is to erase the disk and reinstall the operating system. I'm assuming something got corrupted there ...
Will also go through these steps - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
