Is it normal to see a shadow at the bottom of the macbook air?

My Macbook Air has a shadow that runs along the bottom of the screen. It's more noticeable when there's a white background. Is this normal on a Macbook Air?

Only if you put them there....

  • Is it normal for MacBook Air to have a shadow along the bottom of the screen?

    My MacBook Air has a shadow that runs along the bottom of the screen. Is this normal?

    Since the actual 'button' or switch you press is in the middle of your trackpad button it actually could be a bit lower on either side without affecting operation.
    I don't think it's dangerous, but if you really can't stand how it looks, you can just ask the folks at your Apple Store; they're the only ones who could do anything about it

  • When doing the app exposé gesture, is it normal to see a thin white horizontal line at the bottom of the screen after minimizing a window?

    I noticed that when I open two windoes (say Safari and Trash can) and minimize both windows so they go on the dock, when I do the swip down gesture with 3 fingers (App Expose´) there is a thin white horizontal line at the bottom of the screen. Does it happen to every macbook pro out there?  Is this normal?  Hope it's not a display screen problem...

    You would have to have multiple pages of the app minimized.
    This is what it looks like with Safari with 1 page open and 4 minimized.

  • Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black but I can see the arrow (pointer). And only after few seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down.

    Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black (although I can see it is stil on) and I can see the arrow (pointer). Only after 15 seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down. It did not occur before, as a matter of fact it was instantaneous. What could be the problem?

    Note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece. Then, press the button to put the MBA to sleep. Wait until the cursor disappears and for all indications that the Mac appears to be asleep.
    Then, wake the Mac the way you normally wake it.
    Then, find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    Open Console.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's sleep problem. To do that type the words sleep cause in the Filter field at the upper left of the Console window:
    That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you woke the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to putting it to sleep.
    Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
    Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
    All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
    Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "previous sleep cause". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before putting the Mac to sleep. This will result in a selection of perhaps 50 to 100 lines or so.
    One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the fifteen second delay.
    Copy and paste those log entries in a reply.
    Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

  • How do I get rid of "Open All In Tabs" from the Bookmarks dropdown menu? [STUPIDITY] Also, my bookmarks run off the bottom of the screen and I can't see them all.

    The bottom of my bookmarks in one subcategory extends beyond the screen on my TV and I can't see them all. I can't see where any arrow to extend the bookmarks to the bottom of the list is so I've been clicking below the last visible bookmark in that list and I hit that STUPID "Open All In Tabs" crap (then everything locks up). WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD WANT TO OPEN ALL OF THEIR BOOKMARKS AT ONCE???? Seems really, really stupid to me. And why won't the bookmarks drop down list allow me to see all of the bookmarks I've saved on that topic? It does not automatically scroll down as large lists on other drop down menus routinely do.

    I agree. It is a brainless moronic subcategory!!! I would love to get rid of it!

  • When my husband and I try to share our libraries and import from each others libraries, we get as far as seeing the library on the screen. The next step is to look for the 'Show' menu at the bottom of the screen, but neither of us has any such thing. ?

    When my husband and I try to import from each other's libraries, using Home Sharing, we are intructed to look for the "Show" menu at the bottom of the screen. Neither of us has anything like this on our screens. How and where do we locate it? We both have the latest itunes running.

    Hey fantail163,

  • When I reply to emails my reply is at the bottom of the thread-is there a way to have my replies at the top so my recipients see them?

    When I reply to emails using icloud my reply is at the bottom of the thread where none of my recipients see it-they think I am not adding any content.  Is there a way to have my replies at the top of the thread so my recipients see them?

    This is so horribly frustrating! If you just hit "Reply" and start typing, your new reply starts right at the end of the original message, without even a carriage return. It's the exact opposite of how MobileMe -- and most other mail apps -- work.
    Can we either:
    Move the cursor position in replied messages back to the top, as it was before; or
    Add the option in Preferences to determine where you'd like your cursor to appear when you reply to messages

  • How do you reactivate the grey utilities scroll up tab at the bottom of the screen that should reveal wifi, bluetooth etc? Doesn't matter what orientation the ipad is in, it won't scroll up from the bottom. All other screen functions work normally.

    Doesn't matter what orientation the ipad is in, it won't scroll up from the bottom.
    All other screen functions work normally.

    Settings/Control Center. There are two options which are pretty self-explanitory...one enables/disables access on the Lock Screen and one enables/disables access within apps/games.

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

  • I have bought a Macbook Pro Retina, and the iPhoto which comes with it, has a different iPhoto Book menu.  I cannot see how to put text at the bottom of the pages of photographs, instead of the default place in the middle.  Is there a way to do this?

    There are different templates for iPhoto books and they differ from version of iPhoto to iPhoto, so explore the other options.

  • Why have Link previews been moved to the bottom of the page? I have a toolbar on my my site and my users cant see it because the link preview is obscuring it...

    Well as I can see from other questions asked people are already aware that when you hover over a link the link preview appears at the bottom of the page instead of the status bar.
    Other people have said to install https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
    Well thats fine for me to do that but what about the users who come to my site and cant see my toolbar at the bottom because the link preview (with a long URL) is obscuring it? I cant tell them to go and install an addon, what bright spark thought of this I find it very disrupting.

    As far as I know, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ the Classic Theme Restorer add-on] is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.
    # Install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
    # Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
    # Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
    # On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
    # Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
    # Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
    # Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
    That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
    * Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
    * Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
    * Press F5.
    * Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

  • How do I view the Horizontal Scrolling bar and status bar at the bottom of the screen. I can only see the top menus, toolbars and vertical scroll bar?

    Before the most recent upgrade, the bottom horizontal scrolling bar and status bar appeared on my screen. Now since upgrading, I cannot see the. Anyone ideas how to restore them?

    If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
    Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
    And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
    Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
    Good luck & happy computing!
