IBook turning yellow

My girlfriends iBook G4 is turning yellow where her palm usually rests..
Is there any chance one can fix that or get it fixed by Apple?
Thanks in advance,
Jörg.

Hi there;
There is a very easy fix for this. This happens on my G4 iBook after a while. All you need to do is get a good cleaner to take care of the dirt and sweat that get embedded in the wrist area.
I personally use Mr. Clean eraser pads. They quickly and easily clean this area as well as the keys. You need to be careful what you clean with these kinds of pads because they can scratch smooth surfaces. However, I've found them very safe for the keyboard and wrist rest areas of my laptop.
Hope that helps!
Dean

  • Macbook Air 13 turns yellow when starting

    I've recently had a replacement because my macbook air turned yellow when I start it.
    It starts okay but right before it moves on to the desktop screen, it turns yellow. And it feels like the overall hue of the screen proceeds to be kind of yellow tinted.
    What bugs me is that my replacement has the same problem :(
    Is this normal?
    I went to the apple service center, and the guy there told me it  happens to all macbooks with the new OS X.
    I'm also kind of concerned if the replacement is not a new product.
    ( bought it on the online apple store )

    Yeah it's happening to me too.
    I read from several sources, it's just Lion in general cause animation lags. It should be fixed in the next bug fix software update; don't worry, it's not just you.

  • Dispathcher turn Yellow after changing SDM mode to standalone

    Hi,
    SYstem- Dual stack NW04
    Does SDM mode change to standalone cause dispatcher status to go yellow?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It depends ,whether the SDA/SCA/EAR file selected for deployment is an Offline or Online deployment.
    By default,SDM will be in integrated mode.When SDM is supposed to do deploymet,It comes to Standalone mode.
    And if the SCA selected is an Offline deployment,Whole insatnce will get restarted,As a result dispatcher may turn yellow and come to Onlline state after the deployment.
    Meanwhile if the problem is not with the deployment,u can right click on dispatcher and see the developer trace.
    You can also see dev_dispatcher log file under /usr/sap/SID/JCxx/work folder.

  • Mac Mini Casing Turning Yellow / Beige

    I have three Mac Mini Intels, two at work and one at home.
    The one at home which was from march 2006 is white, the brand new one at work is white, but mine at work which is from around May has turned Yellow, an ugly ivory colour on the top, when the white remote is put on top, it is a totally different colour. Has anyone else got this?
    I can only assume it is the daylight or flourescent tube on the ceiling above affecting the plastic.
    Not very pleased about this.

    I haven't noticed any significant discoloration in my mini's, though when compared to a 3rd generation iPod, both look slightly yellowish. I have one in my office under fluorescent lighting, and one at home in daylight/partial sunlight but both look the same color, and both match a brand new mini I set up for a user.
    The only mini I have seen show any real sign of discoloration was used in a smoking environment, where not surprisingly it turned a rather unpleasant shade of yellow.
    Is it possible that there are trace chemicals or impurities in the air in your office that may have affected just that system?

    I'm almost certain the white colouring is underneath the glass, so it wouldnt be coming into contact with your sweaty hands

  • I click on the bookmarks star but it does not turn yellow

    It use to work just fine ,just click on the star and it would turn yellow but now when I click on the star it does nothing just stays transparent

    Does the star get highlighted if you visit a bookmarked link?
    Do you otherwise have issues with the bookmarks or history?

    I'm not sure this is a Leopard install problem.

  • How can I get the URL address of a secure https site to turn yellow

    The older versions of Firefox would turn the URL of a secure website yellow when accessed. Even with poor eyesight, I found this easy to see. When I upgraded to version 3.6, this feature was gone. Some of you programming capable users were kind enough to provide me with a chrome.css routine that made 3.6 act the way I needed it to. Unfortunately, I've been forced to upgrade Firefox to version 16 and the chrome.css file that worked on 3.6 seems to have no effect on 16. Would someone please provide me with a way of getting Firefox 16 to turn the https addresses yellow.

    That was a feature last used in Firefox 2.0 in 2006, a real long time ago ''(in software time.)'' This - http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/2008/05/06/635/ - explains the changes which came in Firefox 3.0.
    The code used for the Address Bar was completely changed for Firefox 4.0, which is why the css you were using in Firefox 3.6 doesn't work any longer.
    You could try looking for a "retro 2.0 style" Address Bar for that code, but I spent 15 minutes searching for a newer code and didn't find anything for 14.0 plus versions. ''Note that my search skills aren't the best.'' <br />
    http://userstyles.org/
    This is the closest I could find, but it isn't even close to what was used in Firefox 2.0. <br />

  • Backgrounds turned yellow on every app?

    All of a sudden tonight after waking up my powerbook all the normally white backgrounds, like where I am typing text right now in Firefox, every document in word, even portions of every icon in the finder, have turned a light yellow.
    I've restarted twice, etc.... nothing changes.  Even the username/password screen on startup is tinged yellow.
    Anyone have any bright (white) ideas?   HELP!!!

    Check your color profile in the Displays preferences (Color tab).

  • IBook turning itself off

    Hi,
    I've recently upgraded my iBook G4 to OS 10.5.8. Since then it's started turning itself off during use (at least, the screen goes black - I can't actually tell if the computer is completely off). It's invariably connected to mains power when this happens. I then have to force a restart (which in itself sometimes takes a bit of persuading - the last time I had to take the battery out first before it would even respond to the on/off button) to get it to work again.
    If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it.

    Sounds like the logic board is dead. This was a big problem with the iBook G4. I had this exact same problem and it would die with about 40 minutes left.. just randomly. I had to get a new logic board, which was about $300.

  • Ibook turns itself on???

    Yes I turn my ibook off then 10 minutes later even if I have my screen locked down it will turn itself on, I have tried to find any system preferences for letting you're mac do this but I can't find anything

    I had precisely the same problem with an iBook Dual USB. I reset the Power Management Unit (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449) and thought I had found a solution. But, when I plugged in my printer, the problem returned. I suggest you try disconnecting any peripherals when you put your iBook to sleep. The culprit in my case was an HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer.
    I question whether the cycling of the display does any damage. While asleep, my iBook had been happily turning its display on and off for months.
    Good luck.
