Issue with Screen, Looks Luminated!

I just bought a mac book pro, 2008 model.
I dont know if there is something wrong with my screen or if i just pressed a butoon but my screen looks luminated. It was fine then all the sudden it changed. any one have an idea? it looks like everything is glowing...including my backround.

Unknown if the newer models luminate like you describe. What does your user manual state?
I believe you should be posting in the MacBook Pro (Late 2008 and Early 2009) Forums

  • Negative black issue with screen

    The negative black issue was very pronounced on my first generation iPhone... and I'm also noticing it on my new one, but to a lesser degree. Anybody else seeing this?
    www.appleservedup.com has a screen test to test for the negative black issue.

    Yep, that's what my screen looks like. Makes it very difficult to watch video with lots of dark colors. I had this problem on my first iPhone, and was hoping it'd be resolved on the new 3G, but nope
    If you have a chance, do the screen test at appleservedup.com. The color in the boxes should be significantly lighter than the black background. If not, you probably have the negative black issue.

  • HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH SCREEN CRACKING FOR NO REASON???

    HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SCREEN CRACKING ON ITS OWN???

    Good Suggestion Tiki  And my suggestion try to keep your Device from getting to Hot, Protect it as well as you can, if your going to Pocket it Make sure it has allot of free space around it..

  • Will I have Issues with Screen if Connected to PC for long periods?

    I picked up a new 80g ipod to replace my old 20g gen 2, and I want to use it at work to play music through my computer. I am concerned about the Do Not Disconnect message with the flashing icon being displayed for 10 hours at a time every day. Am I going to get any characters or images burned on the display? I didn't think LCD's were subject to burning, but seems that some folks out there have had some issues.
    Many thanks,
    Ken

  • Issue with screen resolution

    Hi,
    I need my VI to run on different screen resolutions.
    But the problem is that when the resolution changes the controls get distorted and i have to restart the applicaiton to bring the screen to origional form.
    I need to resize the controls according to the window size so i have checked the option to "scale objects while resizing".  
    I think this is why the controls get distorted besause of resizing.
    Is there any solution if want to keep both options for resizing and adjusting the screen for different resolutions.
    Regards
    Gagan 

    When you resize a VI automatically, the original size is not cached, thus changes are permanent.  If you resize again, the changes start from the changed values, not the original values.  Factor in the some integer roundoff issues and you have your problem.  In addition, different versions of LabVIEW have varying degrees of distortion as you change the screen size and system controls have limits on how they can change their size.  The only way to guarantee nice looking, scaleable panels is to do it all yourself programmatically (change location, size, and font sizes).  This is tedious, but straightforward, and you should only have to do it once.  It is made more difficult by the fact that there is no standard way to change the size of a control.  Use the event structure to determine when your panel has been resized.  Use the Defer Panel Updates property to speed the process.  In addition, you probably want to throttle the events so you don't get behind in processing them.  The easiest way to do this is to compare the new size reported by the Panel Resize event with the value from a property node which reads the panel size.  If they are equal, process the event.  If they are not, do nothing.  The last event will always be processed because the sizes will be the same.
    Good luck!  Let us know if you run into difficulties.

  • Peachpit "Motion5" p. 54, Step 11 drop-down issue - my screen looks different

    This problem requires the Peachpit "Motion5" book to reference because it is copyrighted and I can't take a picture of the page in question.
    The subject page shows a drop-down window with "sliders" for Red, Blue, and Green and one is supposed to enter in new values for each color. HOWEVER, since the book is old and based on an earlier version of Motion5, this is a PROBABLE cause as to why the dropdown I'm getting looks different from the book's version.
    So, either the dropdown has changed, OR, "I'm not getting it." (the latter is a real possibility although I've tried every option I can think of)
    NOTE: I've tried to find Errata information for the book and there are only a few items listed, none of which covers this issue.
    My screen shot:
    The lesson requires that one type in 0.63 for Red, 0.35 for Green, and 0.06 for Blue. Unfortunately, one cannot enter in a decimal point, ergo, this cannot be done.
    The screen shot is for Motion 5.1
    Any ideas?

    The book said to "... click the disclosure triangle ...." and I took that to mean the triangle to the right of the Remap colored square. This I tried numerous times and wound up with the color scheme shown in your right screen shot.
    This has been a while so I don't remember the exact place, but after clicking on the arrow on the left side of the Remap (or maybe it was the colored square like you showed) there was a better window that opened:
    This one allowed me to dial in exactly the paramerters that was asked for.
    WHEW!
    What an ordeal. But it's over and figured out now. A relief.
    Like you mentioned, I also was waiting for the publisher, or some other publisher, to come out with a Motion 5.1 book but couldn't wait any longer. If they continue to print and sell the old "5" version you'd think they'd at least have a good Eratta page somewhere that would provide the changes as well as fill in the holes in the procedures. Certainly, if this was used for class instruction they would know what questions the students struggled with. Oh well.
    Currently I'm up to page 65 and struggling with Step 13 to get the bright orange/brownish-yellow color they show. I'm only able to get a light version of the general background color. Tried the grey also, and ditto there. Just isn't working. I'm getting the colors I want in the color box but not on the screen. Sort of a partial. The HUD looks just like the picture in the book.
    In Step 12 it says to "click the Add Filter pop-up menu ..." but I can't find where they're talking about it. I've looked everywhere. Need to take a rest and work on this tomorrow.
    Thanks for the support.
    Edit: What happened? What do you mean? This didn't help me - Geeze, I wrote it! Need to get some rest.

  • Latest Firmware Update Issues with Screen Sensitivity

    Hi All,
    I synced my original iphone a few days ago and it required a firmware update. Since then, I have had numerous problems with the touchscreen for email and texting. Sometimes, I cannot open a folder on one of my emails or send a text because hitting the "send" icon does nothing. I've restarted my phone and reset it but have not yet tried a restore. Had anyone else had these issues?
    And do you have any other suggestions I should try before doing a restore? Many thanks.
    Kathy

    Do not know about its compatibility and functionality.. but if you are OK with Beta softwares.. you may have a look at..

  • List of issues with new look bt vision

    Hi,
    There are a lot of things that are no longer present in the new look bt vision.
    As such they out weigh the "benefits"
    Will these issues be addressed at all - and is BT aware of them?
    Issues:
    1. crashing - it crashes randomly once a week - the old one never crashed once in years.
    2. Information - less information now about all programs - no director, only half the actors - normally one sentance now - before it had lots.
    3. Slow - sometimes it doesnt react to the controller - then all of a sudden it will "wake up" and do all the button presses i have been trying - in a split second.
    4. Interface - why must it move the chanels down when i just want to look at the info on  a program - not intutative. Yes i have "given it a go" for a few weeks now. so i am looking at the 5 main channels - i just want to get info on one program but it moves the whole thing down.
    5. Interface - on demand. Why cant we fast scroll down any more in the movies section. Why do i have to press Down 92 times just to get to the bottom of all the Vision Films. If this was USA i could sue for R.S.I - oh and new batteries for my controller. Bring back the fast down - it works in the TV guide - but not in Movies.
    6. Recording films that have a 5 minute news in the middle - now means i have to record 2 films
    7. TV guide - just having to press that extra button to get back to the TV is very annoying. I dont like it at all - the designer must think people would liek to spend more time in the menu than watching the TV!!
    there are other points but im at work at the moment and cant remember them.
    Main gripe is its soo time consuming to use the on demand due to not being able to scroll quickly that i dont see any benefit with BT Vision in its present state.
    I used to be a big fan and recommended this to friends - i now say the opposite.
    The menu should be functional - you try scrolling through all the on demand films (in list or the other mode) - how many button presses do you need?
    very unhappy - please fix this
    regards
    Jim

    Issues:
    2. Information - less information now about all programs - no director, only half the actors - normally one sentance now - before it had lots.
    That's a function of using the Freeview+ EPG which BT have no control over. There was no shortage of users asking for this on the old system for various reasons. This won't change unless Freeview changes it, so get used to it.
    4. Interface - why must it move the chanels down when i just want to look at the info on  a program - not intutative. Yes i have "given it a go" for a few weeks now. so i am looking at the 5 main channels - i just want to get info on one program but it moves the whole thing down.
    Not really sure what your problem is here, it's the same amount of button presses either way and it probably makes the interface faster to have a single current channel line than fiddling around with display on multiple lines.
    5. Interface - on demand. Why cant we fast scroll down any more in the movies section. Why do i have to press Down 92 times just to get to the bottom of all the Vision Films.

    Yeah, that's pants and needs fixed. BT are aware.

  • TP Yoga numerous issues with screen and digitizer

    Hello
    Summary:
    I bought a 20CD0001IV about two months ago (Demopool). I need it for work and drawing, but so far I have numerous issues. And right now I'm kinda lost: What should I do? Send a support question to lenovo/IBM EC? Contact my retailer? Are these common problems? I'm also not sure about my warranty. The Lenovo Solution Center says, I still have warranty. The different parts of the website say different things. I'll assume worst case: My warranty is likely expired.
    I tried:
    Fresh Installation Windows 8.1, newest drivers, newest Wacom drivers. Tried different settings. Calibration, Pressure Curves, all the stuff. Have 3 different Pens. Searched google, searches this forum...
    Problems:
    Massive Ghosting, I know, there is a solution on the forum. It says to replace the old screen with a newer model, but is this possible if the warranty is expired?
    Calibration is a mess! The digitizer point wobbles under the pen, this is most obvious near the screen border, where straight lines turn into curves. But it's also an issue in the middle of the screen. In some places the cursor is 2mm top left of the actual pen tip, in other places it's bottom right UNDER the pen. I tried all kinds of calibration already... I know about a "dead spot" issue, but this was fixed with a firmware update and my issue is all over the place, not just one spot.
    The screen is not very solid. Even medium pressure with the pen leads to dark and light display glitches near the tip. 
    Pen pressure "clipping". The 100%-Pressure is reached waaaay too quickly when I actually press with medium force. This leads to a very screwed pressure curve, where drawing lighlty or drawing medium is a lot harder, because there is not much scope. Basically, I draw with 100% Pressure 90% of the time. 100% should only be reached when I press intentionally hard.... I tried this with different pens, it's not an issue of the pen. (This is also not the first wacom device I use, so I can compare... I'm not just heavy handed...). The wacom settings themselves are not of real use, they only influence to curve from 0 to 100, but can't move the 100%-Point itself (maybe someone has a better understanding of the wacom settings and knows how to do it)
    Edit: ...The ThinkPad Logo just came off, too o_O
    To be honest, this is terrible quality for a lot of money. I could live with one or two issues, but this is almost unusable. I wonder if those are common problems and all Yogas have a screen like this. I had a Samsung Slate before and the screen was like solid glass and did not dent at all and I never had so many problems at once.
    I don't expect solutions for those problems. But I hope that someone can point me into the right direction like "Yeah, this is a known hardware thing, read this...". If someone knows a good tool to troubleshoot/analyse Wacom Input let me know (I only tried the Pressure Curve Tool).
    Is there any hope at all if my warranty is really expired?

    I did some more testing with the maximum pressure issue. And it might be related to the pressure level of pens. As far as I know the Yoga supports 1024 levels. I have a new Wacom PL-900 and it has only 512, and the pressure problem is strongest. It is the same with the original Yoga pen, I'd say - even though this should have 1024 levels? But with an old Samsung Series 7 pen I need to press harder to reach 100% pressure - although it is still not really "hard". I'm not entirely sure how many pressure levels the Samsung Slate pen has, thought it was 510, but have seen some reviews mentioning 1024...
    Anyway, I posted this issue in the wacom forums.

  • Acrobat 9: Issue with Graphics Looking Distorted

    Hi all. I'm sure that the answer to this is very simple and I am doing something ridiculous ...
    I use Microsoft Publisher (2007 version) to create documents, and then convert them to PDF using Acrobat 9. Recently, I have noticed that many of the graphics elements that I use are looking distorted when viewed onscreen. They print out looking as smooth as they did in the original Publisher file, but are a lot less so onscreen. Seeing as many people read PDFs onscreen now, this is a bit of a worry.
    I have tried saving graphics as JPEGs, GIFs, PNGs and TIFFs (in PhotoShop CS5) and get the same issue each time. Also, the quality between one save and another can be extremely variable. In the example I have attached (the top section is a screen grab from the Publisher file, the bottom when convereted), once or twice when saving the rotated image looked utterly dreadful (as in completely usable). However, when I would save it again a few minutes later, without having adjusted anyting, it looked a lot better.
    In the example below, you can see our company logo and also the lines around the photograph don't look great. (The rest is just text, which always looks great.)
    Any settings I am missing ... other PDFs I have seen always look great.
    I have set the the PDF conversation to High Quality, so am not sure where I am going wrong.

  • Issue with Screen Resolution-All is enlarged

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    If the image on your screen appears too large, the zoom option might been turned on in System Preferences.
    To turn off zoom:
    1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Universal Access.
    2. Click Seeing.
    3. Click the Off button under Zoom.

  • 10.4.6 Issues with screen saver security and Finder Inspector dialog

    Now that I've updated my system to 10.4.6, I no longer have password protection on my screen saver. I also can no longer right-click, select Inspector, and lock multiple files at once.
    I can open Inspector and lock multiple files using the key command with no problem. It's just when I try to right-click that doesn't work. Inspector comes up, but it's available only for the entire disk -- it does not show multiple files. And a lock box to check doesn't exist anywhere in the dialogue box. Note that this is only a problem with files on my slave partition. My master drive is OK.
    Anyone else have these issues?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Sometimes if preference files are corrupt an update will simply reinforce their being corrupt. Try resetting them from the program that activates them. The password screen saver is in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Security mentioned in:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303548
    As for the inspector, I don't know where that is controlled, but maybe someone else here will know.

  • Issue with screen

    I have a 3gs and the screen no longer dims when the phone is put up to my ear. This causes a good amount of problems when I'm trying to talk on the phone. If this is in the wrong spot sorry but any help would be great.
    Thanks

    I should also note it wasn't long ago that I put a new screen in. Anyone have an idea of which cable 1,2, or 3 deals with this issue so I can make sure its seated good.

  • Pixel Issue With Screen

    I've had my iPod video for less than 90 days. I purchased it through a local Best Buy retail store. Just a few weeks ago, I noticed that there is a discolored pixel on my screen. It shows up primarily when the screen is black (i.e: when loading videos, playing games, etc.) The pixel is red consistently and does not change color with the rest of the screen.
    I know this seems like a trivial issue. However, having the iPod for less than 90 days, something like this really shouldn't have occurred in the first place. The iPod is not damaged in any way. It works perfectly fine, otherwise.
    I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem with their iPod video or if anybody has any recommendation as to what I should do about it.
    Thanks. :]

    I've been to that page multiple times. But, I'm always unclear of what's going to happen to my iPod in the repair process once I send it off (i.e: all my mp3's being deleted, my whole iPod being reset, etc.).
    I've read the legalities and it seems like there's so many strings attached. That's why I was wondering if there's anything that I can do myself to fix it so that I don't have to send it off or if I could just take it to an Apple Store.
    Any other suggestions?

  • OPM 10.3 - Conversion Issue with Screens from 10.2

    Hello All,
    We upgraded one of our rulebases to 10.3 today.
    On build and debug, our summary screen seemed out of order
    In reviewing the screen, it seems that the screen items have been sorted, with the labels at the top and the goals at the bottom.
    The other screens appear to be fine.
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Allan

    Hi Gibson
    I think u can try this...although its not exactly the same issue we had but somewhat similar...compatibility issue...
    On OPM v10.3 u create new project...add all the files from the project folder u had created on version 10.2 to the new project u have created on 10.3...all the files...word files, excel sheets, properties files, screen files etc...now u try to build and run the new project...it worked for us...if u have done any changes to the appearances of the screens with html or css then copy all the files from folders under this folder C:\projects\<ur project name>\Release\web-determinations\WEB-INF of the project created in the 10.2 to the same folders under the same directory of the project u have created on 10.3...I hope this will help
