Late in the game... Dead Pixel

Just picked up a PLaybook 32GB for $99.00 brand new...
Very excited to recieve the device, But I have a dead pixel in the middle of my screen. Entering the serial number for warranty states its not avail but i i can get per incident support for $45? (see my dilema, as i paid $100 for the unit)
Reading through the forums, the device has been discontined? - Leaving us SOL on support?

Trying to switch (late in the game) from MobileMe to ICloud but having problems!

Please advise.
I have a macbookpro which came with mobileme.
I know I am late in the game but I am trying to get my icloud (on my computer) working.
When I go under apple System Preferences under Internet and Wireless only MobileMe is listed (NOT icloud). I am unable to log into MobileMe ... How can I get rid of and/or update to icloud so that I can add my macbook as a device to my icloud?
My iphone seems to be working alright
Please advise and thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you don't have iCloud in system preferences, it's because you have an unsupported operating system. iCloud only comes with OSX 10.7.2 or later.
In addition, the opportunity to upgrade your Mobile Me account to iCloud has passed, the cut off date was 6 months ago. You could still use your Mail address, but you will have lost any data that you had in Mobile Me.

24" iMac Thin darker line on the screen - dead pixels ?

I have a 24" BTO iMac with 3,06 and GE Force 8800 GS, delivered last year in June.
Was very happy until today, when i remarked, at +/- 7 cms from the right edge, a thin line, extending from top to bottom, and seeming to expand a bit in a blurry way in the middle.
It shows much more in when on a dark background.
Could that be dead pixels ?
I guess I have to ship the machine back to an ARC ?
Or is there some test I could try first ?

A screenshot would not including any effect from a physical screen defect. For the computer, the pixels are there and working properly.
If it appears to be blurry, it may be something casting a shadow between the LCD and the backlighting. Dead pixels are distinct, so there should not be a blur between where the pixels are working and where they are not working.
In any case, since the Mac is still covered by the one-year warranty, you should probably have it looked at by an Apple authorized repair place

The iPhone Dead Pixels

Hi
+I own an iPhone 2G 16GB running on OS 3.1.2.+
+There are some dead pixel on my screen.+
+Is there any way to fix them softwarely or just I have to replace the screen?+
+Also is there any idea about the Knox iPhone Stuck Pixel Fix method?+
+Merry Christmas and the Lord bless+
Mehran

The only way to tell if it is software related would be to restore your iphone back to its original settings and choosing "setup as a new iphone" at then end of the process. Other than that its going to be a issue with the display itself and would need to be replaced.

Creating a sitemap late in the game

I've created an entire site using a single template and about
7 pages. I've been told that the site map is how search engines
find your site info. What is the best way to create one for an
existing site? Is there a better way to make sure search engines
find the site? I have registered the site with three of the major
search engines but it still doesn't show up.

This Site Map Generator does it all (xml, text, html and ror)
- up to 500
pages.

Help! I'm late to the game and need help.

I'm looking for someone with patience that can explain (in layman terms) the whole Photoshop > Lightroom > Camera connection. Two questions right off the bat would be... 1. What does Lightroom accomplish that Photoshop doesn't? I heard that it edits in RAW but so does Photoshop, right? I was told I can use Lightroom to tether shoot with my camera (I shoot with a Canon 5d) is this correct? And if so, does it tether in live view? Thanks so much for any help...... Gary

1. What does Lightroom accomplish that Photoshop doesn't? I heard that it edits in RAW but so does Photoshop, right?
Photoshop edits RAWs with the same underlying software engine as Lightroom.
Lightroom's advantage is that it is a workflow solution, designed to streamline your activities from reading the photos from the camera card to organizing to editing to output (print, web, e-mail, other). Photoshop of course has much more editing capabilities compared to Lightroom, but little of the workflow benefits.
I'm looking for someone with patience that can explain (in layman terms) the whole Photoshop > Lightroom > Camera connection.
This is a very very broad question, and I won't attempt to provide more details than above. Perhaps you could be more specific about what information you are looking for. However, the usual flow would be the opposite of what you have written. It normally goes: Camera -> Lightroom -> Photoshop. And of course, you could get along just fine without Lightroom, OR you could get along just fine without Photoshop. Or you could use both.

So i have a dead pixel on my rMBP does anyone know if apple will replace it or repair it if i take it to the store?

Its a Late 2013 MBP and its the higher end 16gb ram model
Ive only had it a few months so its under the one year warranty, and it had like 1 or 2 really annoying dead pixels.
Will apple replace it or repair it if i take it in?

You'd better make a reservation of Genius Bar and show them the problem, dead pixels and ask for repair if it's possible.

24" iMac with dead pixels

I haven't seen any threads about this so I figured I'd give it a go and see how many others have dead pixels. My first 24" that I took home from the Apple store had one single, almost not noticeable, dead pixel. Most LCD manufactures will not warranty anything less than 6 dead pixels. It was near the center of the screen and after forking out $2400 I wanted a perfect LCD with no dead pixels. So I took it back the next day and luckily for me the manager at the Apple store let me exchange it. I took it out of the box in the store, booted it to check it out and didn't find any dead pixels. 3 or 4 days later I found a dead pixel. Bright blue near the bottom. You can only see it on a black screen. So I told myself that I would just deal with it until the next day I found a second dead pixel. So now I have 2 dead pixels and am pondering whether I should take it back or not..

Hello,
'Stuck' pixels, i.e. those that are stuck at a particular colour may sometimes be cleared by simply rapidly changing the colours behind them.

Dead Pixel and Frayed Charger

Hey guys.Let me start off buy saying that I **do** have AppleCare as of now. I've had my MacBook Pro Retina 13" Laptop for about 1-2 years and I haven't had much to complain about.
However, my laptop's charger has started to fray and charging my laptop has become quite difficult. Here is a picture.
My second problem is quite annoying as well. I have a single dead pixel on the screen of my MacBook. The white dot on the middle of the screen is the one dead pixel on the screen.
My question to you guys is if both of these things will be covered by AppleCare? I'm fairly confident that Apple will replace my charger but I want to know if they would fix my screen as well? Thanks!

3 Dead Pixels after Blue Screen crash, should I make another Genius Bar appointment?

Ok, so yesterday I made a GB appointment, after a friend told me to, when I showed him that I had a dead pixel on my phone's screen. So when I got to apple, I showed them the dead pixel and they told me they were going to replace the screen on the phone. It turned out that the machine they use to do so, was down, so they ended up giving me a replacement phone. So I checked it out at the store and it looked fine. So now today, while running some errands, my new replacement iPhone had crashed and turned blue, then rebooted on me & a few moments after when I got back on the phone and was imessaging, I noticed 3 dead pixels instantly (one on right under the names of the contact on the message, on the J key on the board and to the middle-right where your send messages are displayed)
Now I'm thinking that, because my originally iPhone had crashed and turned blue also and I noticed the one dead pixel on it that same day, that the blue screen crashing could possibly be causing this??
Should I go back to the apple store and tell them what happened?

(Update) the pixels actually all seem to be red, whenever I go on a yellow screen and I just noticed a fourth one. I think I should take my phone in

White Specs and 1 Dead Pixel

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I have a week 36 iPod, without any of the audio or negative black issues but instead with tiny white specs that appear and disappear when I move the iPod in different angles. These white specs can only be seen on a black background and there are so many of them that I couldnt even count them. They also appear to be randomly appearing so they are very difficult to count.
The one dead pixel is to the right of the screen and is green. I am not too fussed about this but I wondered if any of you have the same issue?
I have looked at my iPod video and I do not seem to have the same white spec issues.
Here are some screens of my iPod touch video quality:

I have the same issue as you do. I think the technical word for this problem is a stuck pixel. In my case they are green and white and lots of them. Turn your brightness to full and then test you screen with a black background, and while you are at it show it also to a genius. I am sure they would replace it, please let us know how things went.

What does a dead pixel even Look like ?

I posted a thread 24 hours ago that ended up w/ a missing section, then 2 replies to finish.... a real mess that went deservedly unanswered.
I'm sure I can do better :
Suddenly I've got 2 "bits of dust" towards the lower right corner of my 24" display. They're different sizes ( the smaller close to a pin-head ) and the slightly larger one is a much darker shade of grey. They're also roughly-edged...misshapen.
They look like pieces of grit , is it even possible for a foreign particle to "ride in on a CD" and end up visible within the display ?
I'm sure that's doubtful, but I don't know much beyond what they "look like"
I've tried the Pixel-Fixer widget, but have seen no effect.
I'd just like to hear what else others may have had, the better to determine what these interlopers actually are !
thanks, Dave

The LCD is a sealed unit before it's placed in the computer so no it's not possible for foreign particles to "ride in on a CD". It may be possible for dust to get under the "glass" that covers the LCD, but again, not from a CD.
I'm sure that's doubtful, but I don't know much beyond what they "look like"
Apple has a decent article on pixel anomalies. In order to keep LCD costs down, a certain number of pixel anomalies are considered "acceptable" by most manufacturers. Some resellers offer a dead pixel warranty for an extra cost. They lose money with individual LCDs that are returned with pixel anomalies that are considered "acceptable" (the manufacturer would bill them for repair or replacement) and usually sell them at a reduced cost. In the long run, though, most LCDs don't have pixel anomalies so the more dead pixel warranties they sell, the more profit they make.
I've tried the Pixel-Fixer widget, but have seen no effect.
Software like the Pixel-Fixer widget are often just temporary solutions. Stuck pixels usually indicate a hardware issue with the LCD matrix and the only guaranteed way to make sure they're gone is to replace the display.
This picture mistakenly refers to a "bright" pixel as "dead". When the pixel is stuck in an open position (allowing light to pass through) it's a "bright" (sub-)pixel. When it's stuck in a closed position (blocking light from passing through) it's called a "dark" or "dead" pixel.
This picture shows a dead (or "dark") pixel.
Hopefully that clears some of your questions.

Welcome to Discussions, mrandyflores
The retailer who sold you your Mac can tell you or help you obtain an official answer. Even if some of us users who post here offer answers, you will need to get it verified by the retailer or Apple anyway before you can do anything about your issue.

My new iPad has a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Can I get it replaced?

I've heard that there is a minimum number of dead pixels before apple will replace it. Very frustrating because otherwise the screen is perfect, and it's one of those things you can't stop looking at. What can I do? I don't live near an apple store so I fear that shipping it away is the only option.
Any help is appreciated!

Given that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever.

Late 2010 MacBook Air 13" Dead Pixels Common?

I received a new Late 2010 MacBook Air 13" notebook less than a month ago. The unit had a dead pixel towards the center of the display. I called Apple within the 14-day return period for advise on how to handle the issue. They asked me to send the unit in for repair as the closest Apple store was quite far away. I sent the unit out for repair and received it back a few days later.
To make things short, I had to send the notebook out for repair twice for the same issue, and both times the notebook was sent back with replacement displays, each of them also having dead pixels (apparently Apple's repair guys just pop in a new panel and don't actually check to make sure that the issue's been resolved).
Luckily, after over an hour arguing with a customer support supervisor over the phone, they decided to have me send the unit back to them for a new replacement. The replacement should be arriving within a week or so. However, I find myself somewhat hesitant to even bother opening the new replacement when it arrives. I've pretty much lost all confidence in Apple to supply an acceptable display in such a high-priced premium notebook, and am not sure what recourse I will have if the new unit once again comes scared with dead pixels. I thinking about selling it unopened on Amazon or something, and purchasing from another brand like Sony or something.
Question is, has anyone else experienced this issue with their new MacBook Airs? Are dead pixels on these new notebooks becoming more and more common, or do you think I've just had a serious run of bad luck? I can honestly say that I've never had to deal with something like this before with any of my other laptop / desktop displays. Should I even bother with the new unit or just take my business elsewhere.. I really don't think Apple with replace / repair the new unit if it displays the same pixel issues, and frankly, I've grown tired of arguing with them.

Hi PlotinusVeritas,
Thanks for the quick reply
I did wonder if it was the battery but the usb mouse's left click stops working once the trackpad is touched seems kinda weird... Kind of gave up troubleshooting, guess I'll have to contact an Apple store for repair
Cheers
