It looked like a small bug going up and down on my screen then it stopped about 12 o clock a quarter of the way from the top, now it seems to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone seen this before?  And what can be done about it,  macbook pro

I have what looked like a small bug that ran up and down the screen and then sudenly stopped in center upper half of screen and now appears to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone had this probelm before and what can be done about it?

Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them.  They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent.  They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover.  The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free.  If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store.  For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

  • Screen is "half out." Anyone seen this before, anything I can do?

    Hello,
    I am a first time contributor to the Apple Support Communities. I have a 2006/2007 era MacBook pro that the screen is half out. I would like to get this fixed for my wife to use as her desktop, but I would like some guidance before I take it into a Genius Bar. Has anyone seen this before? Is it an easy (inexpensive) fix or is it not worth it (given the age of the machine). Any help would be beneficial. The machine runs awesome, I can use it, as long as i use the top 1/3rd of the screen.
    Thank You,

    Hard drives do not appear in 10.1 like they used to in previous versions.
    You can open and close libraries as needed and you can store them and move them as needed.

  • A particular network user can't login to a mac in a classrom but other network users can. Then the network user can login to other identical macs in same classroom. Anyone seen this before?

    A particular network user can't login to a mac in a classrom but other network users can. Then the network user can login to other identical macs in same classroom. Anyone seen this before? It has happen twice. Two different teachers in two different classrooms entering the correct user name and passwords and computer won't allow them to login. Then they try in different computers in same classroom and have no problem login.

    Yes. I can login with a test user. And any other network user can login as well to this particular mac. Actually the mac has bootcamp and boots into either mac or windows. The same user entering the same login username and password can login into the windows side, but not the mac side.
    I had this same issue last semester in another classroom, another mac and a different teacher. This summer I reformatted and imaged that mac and I asked that teacher to login today to that reimagened mac and she had no problem today doing so.

  • My iPad will not connect to a computer with the cable which  means no updates or down loads. I have tried new cables and different computers. Has anyone seen this before?

    Has anyone seen this issue before?

    Possibly. Do you have other devices and will they connect?
    One possible thing that it could be is that the USB port on your iPad has gone bad. It happened to mine. Couldn't sync, could barely charge (it said 'not charging' even when plugged into the wall)
    I'd take it to the apple store, see if they can replicate it, and if they can, then they can diagnose it. Just back it up before you go, in case they do exchange it.

  • I use a macbook pro retina. before i upgraded to maverick my windows stayed the way i put them. now after upgrade i have to resize every time i change the window. i use a 32in. monitor and use it full screen.

    I use a macbook pro retina.  I use a 32 in. monitor and use it full screen. I size the screen manually.  Since i upgraded to maverick, I have to resize the screen each time I change windows.Before the upgrade the screen stayed where I put it.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • MacBook Pro having weird black noise on the screen.  Anyone seen this befor

    So I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.2 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of ram. Recently the DVD drive has died on it but more importantly it has started having weird black things on the screen and it will freeze right up. It has been doing this more and more. It will do it when I have had it running for a long time and everything is hot, it will do it when It has just been sitting there in a screen saver doing nothing, and it will do it when I have just had it on for a few min right out of my bag. I am running Snow leopard on it. I have never seen a machine do this before in my 10 years of having Apple Laptops. Anyone have a similar experience? I have a little video of what it's doing on youtube.

  • My phone spazzes and randomly does stuff on its own like typing a bunch of random letters, or scrolling up/down a page, or going out of an app. What can be done about that?

    I have a 5S and I've had it since december. ever since i got it I've had trouble whit it. It spaces out at random times, types stuff on its own, goes out of applications, scrolls up/down a page etc. This happens almost daily and the only thing I can do about it is lock my phone, go back in, quit all my apps... Along with that now my touch ID has not been working. Although it has started today, I am worried.

    I have an iPhone 6 and have been having this issue since I got it in December 2014. Apps open on their own, scrolling up and down, etc. It's like a ghost is touching the screen. It seems to be the worst when my Verizon connection is only at 3G or my wifi strength is low. I'm not sure if it's an iPhone thing or a carrier issue?? Any ideas?

  • Ipod classic only plays music through the left earphone. Has anyone had this before and is there anyway to fix this?

    I imagine there is a problem with the headphone socket. Will i have to send my i-pod to apple to sort or will it almost be cheaper to just replace it?

    I had a quick search for prices last night. As I recall the site that caught my eye was the e-bay store for this company but I was looking at their page for Nano & 5th gen. They're quoting £29.99 for the 6th gen. service, probably more because it is harder to get into. As I understand it you book the service, send it in via insured post, they fix and send it back. You can shop around, that looks like a reasonable deal.
    Good luck.

  • Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD.  When I boot on Recovery and run verify disk, the error doesn't come anymore. Just when I run verify disk on normal mode. Anybody has seen this before?

    My Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) has been freezing out of the blue probably once every two months. I restarted on safe mode, went to Disk Utility, repaired permissions and ran "Verify Disk" and got  the following:
    Invalid directory item count(It should be 114483 instead of 114484)
    File system check exit code is 8.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
    Rebooted on Recovery mode and ran "Verify Disk" but the message didn't appear anymore, thus not letting me to access the "Recovery HD" procedure.
    When I restart normally and do the disk verification I get the same error.
    Has anybody come to something similar?
    Suggestions?

    I never  ever run a Verify Disk. I simple repair the disk drive and then the user partition(s).
    And do one or two Safe Boots.
    Also helpful to have two full backups: TimeMachine at least, plus a clone of your system drive and data.
    Install or clone the system to an external hard drive, repair that and then boot from it, check that everything works, repair the internal drive.
    You need to use Repair to TRIM an SSD.
    Lots of problems with Yosemite when updating install a new OS. Always better to backup, erase, install, and then use Setup Assistant to import and restore settings and files.
    Probably better to post in the MacBook Pro forum or better yet, in Yosemite forum.

  • HT4557 Selecting a shared library starts connecting and gets to what looks to be 50% of the time circle and stops without connecting to the shared library..... Has anyone experience this before and knows how to overcome it?

    I have an iphone 5 with the current operating system and an up to date itunes as of 01.04.13. The strange thing about this problem is that I have the "remote" app also installed and the Iphone can access the shared library and control what is played on itunes on the PC but not the other way around. What I want to do is play from my library through my Iphone but it is not connecting through the music application???

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

  • What can be done about the terrible font rendering in Adobe Flash 11.6?

    Some fonts in the latest version of Adobe Flash are terrible.  They are almost unreadable!
    Take a look at the fonts rendered from Adobe's own site:   (Can you read what version or OS or Browser?)
    I have other sites where the fonts are readable but they are still very bad.
    Please help!

    I have found a solution. The problem is really with Google Chrome v 25.???  To get it to work properly you will need to go to    chrome://plugins/   and "enable" the pepflashplayer.dll.
    I had to click on the "+ Details" link on the far right, in the plugins header bar.  This will open a hidden portion to the Flash player and you can then enable that .dll.  It looks a bit like this:
    Name:
    Shockwave Flash
    Description:
    Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602
    Version:
    11.6.602.171
    Location:
    C:\Users\mrice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\25.0.1364.97\PepperFlash\pepflashpl ayer.dll

    Enable

    Description
    File extensions
    application/x-shockwave-flash
    Shockwave Flash
    .swf
    application/futuresplash
    FutureSplash Player
    .spl
    This worked for me.
    I also posted this solution on the Google Chrome "feedback" page. 
    Good Luck,
