Long grey mark on top of moniter stretches.... burnt?

There's a long grey mark going horizantally on the top of my moniter, I didn't spill anything and it's not something that can be cleaned externally since I tried. The Apple menu covers it, but when I watch a movie or play a game or even use Windows (where the task bar is on the bottom) it is extrememly visible. I would post pic if I could but I don't have a camera handy.
I don't believe I'm on warranty since I didn't get the extended warranty and it's been over a year since I bought it.
Intel Core 2 Duo Mac, 20"

just a link to a shortcut.
Clicked and dragged out of the window....
Miracle ! it disappears from all folders !

    That's hard to say.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • Dirty Grey marks In LCD

    Hi
    Just recently noticed some dirty grey marks in my LCD, I say in because thats where they are.
    These dirty marks are both blotches and streaks.
    Areas affected are, bottom left, top left down to about a third way down screen and top right with a couple of small marks about an inch to inch and half in.
    I thought they were behind the front panel and caused by the fans sucking in dust. Removed glossy front panel only to find these marks are actually inside the LCD.
    Then I thought maybe image persistance, because I have the same wallpaper picture all the time, but I cannot see how the marks match up with the picture used.
    Trawled the net to see if I could find some answers, did find some other people who had had the same problem with Mac panels and had sent them in for repair. These people said Apple replaced the LCD and all was OK, but within a few months the problem had returned. So I am now thinking it is a waste of time getting my panel replaced.
    Surely this can only be caused by cheapo panels being used ? Sorry to say that about an Apple product but I see no other reason. So what is the way to go if I want to stay with Apple which I do
    Only answer I have is to buy a second monitor
    Sorry cannot take a picture of the marks........
    Anybody got or had similar ?

    I did have the same issue, after 6 mounths of use.

    My LCD panel have been replaced and till now, no new marks... I've read these marks appeared because of an incorrect sealing of the LCD panel...
    So I would advise you to make your LCD changed: thoses marks aren't a fatality.

  • HT1386 Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone no longer appears near the top of my iTunes Window. The Summary lists items that I can sync with my iPhone such as "Music, Photos, Apps" etc.

    Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone with iTunes no longer appears near the top of my iTunes window.  "Summary" lists items I can sync such as "Music, Photos, Apps", etc with drop-down boxes I can use to manage how I sync those items.  An icon for my iPhone does appear near the top right corner of the iTunes window; however, when I click on the icon, the sync automatically begins and there is no display of what is syncing or how much space has been used or how much space is left for syncing music, photos, apps, etc. The new iTunes window no longer lists "Devices" on the left-hand side of the window.  Has anyone had the same issue?

    In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar.

  • Boot drive no longer moves to the top?

    I just noticed that when I switch no another start up disk (CCC clone on external FW drive), that the active system HD icon no longer displays itself on the top right side on the desktop. It just stays were it was.
    Why would it no longer move to the top? I got confused the other day and almost tossed a bunch of important files that I thought were on the active system drive...
    Hope it's just a 10.5.6 bug that will get fixed in the next update.
    Anyone else notice this?
    Dan-

    It's a bug that occurs if you update a bootable volume via Software Update or a backup/cloning app. It's been filed. Boot into each bootable volume, move the boot volume icon to the top, and it should stay there during subsequent reboots.

  • Grey bar on top of page onYouTube ios safari.

    Ok, so suddenly I have a big ugly grey bar on top of the page when I try to look at youtube on safari on the ipad.
    The grey bar is displaying the YouTube app icon, with a button to open the app ( because I have the app installed, I imagine it would say install if I didn't.)
    Now if I wanted to use the app, guess what, I would. I prefer to look at youtube on my browser.
    The problem is that on the grey bar at the top left corner is a tiny (X) button to dismiss the grey bar, which I would very much like to do, but it is impossible because I cannot press the (X) because it is positioned in such a way that its like there is no button there. I tried repeatedly to close it, instead, it just keeps opening the YouTube app, which I don't want to do.
    Is this bar going to remain on safari all the time when I want to look at youtube?
    I don't understand why I'm being pushed to use the app. I know I have it, I don't need reminding, I'm choosing not to use it, i prefer  safari version to app, why is safari doing this?
    I feel like Apple is trying its hardest to annoy everyone and ruin what was a slick seamless service before Steve jobs left the game.
    There are several other little annoyances like this that I can't even be bothered to get into, all beginning immediately after Steve was out of the picture.
    Meanwhile, chrome browser for ios is displaying everything beautifully and is becoming my main browser on ipad.
    Are they trying to push me toward the Google phones and tablets, because it's working.
    Does anyone know how to dismiss this irritating grey bar?

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble getting some things done by changing the html/css
    we use apex 4.1 and sapphire theme 17
    all I want to do is to decrease the size of the bar on top of the page and get rid of the ugly border at the bottom of it
    this is code you find on page 0 , region  
    <STYLE type="text/css">
    #topbar {
    border-bottom: 0px;
    #header {
    height: 15px;
    </STYLE>getting rid of the bottom border ok
    however as soon as I make #header smaller than 50px, the whiole layout gets messed upThe layout is behaving exactly as requested. What you're seeing is not the "layout getting messed up", it's the background image with a fixed-size "header" applied to the page <tt>body</tt>, visible through transparent elements that are now in positions not anticipated by the designer of the theme.
    You need to shift the page background up with respect to the viewport to allow for the 35px difference in <tt>header</tt> height between the theme's 50px and your 15px:
    body {
      background-position: 50% -35px;
    }Note that this introduces a subtle change in the header as the gradient fill now appears to start with a darker shade.

  • Why do I have a question mark on top of Ichat Icon

    why do I have a question mark on top of Ichat Icon ?

    Hi,
    If this is in the DOCK it because that icon (and the links it has) have lost contact with the original app.
    Open th Applications folder.
    Drag iChat to the DOCK (Creates the icon and links)
    If his displays properly drag the old one Off the DOCK and let go (Puff of smoke animation)
    IF it is in the Applications folder that you see this then iChat is most probably broken in some way and you will have to reinstall it  (I will needs to know which version for a more complete answer on that)

  • I have successfully exported subtitles (XML files) from FC version 7 to FC version 6, by choosing Apple XML Interchange Format Version 4. Now the exported subtitles suddenly read in one long line, at the top, not registering any "Enter" keystrokes.

    I have successfully exported subtitles (XML files) from FC version 7 to FC version 6, by choosing Apple XML Interchange Format Version 4. Now the exported subtitles suddenly read in one long line, at the top, not registering any "Enter" keystrokes. The same happens even if I re-import the XML file into Final Cut Version 7 (from where I exported the subtitles). Any tips on how to fix this?

    You might see if you can bring the xml file into Title Exchange Pro

    It's a great program and the author was very responsive when I had a problem.
    If it reads correctly, you can probably save it back out. 
    If you want to send it to me, I'll see if it opens.

  • I have a question mark on top of my old imovie icon

    on my older imac there is a question mark on top of the imovie icon and it would not let me open it.

    If there is an iMovie in the Applications folder, you may be able to restore
    the icon in the Dock. In any event, you could Control + click the iMovie
    icon to see if you have other options. If the iMovie is not in Applications,
    it may have been moved elsewhere, so do a Spotlight search for it.
    And if an iMovie was upgraded but the icon in Dock
    goes to an older version, it may also be inop.
    Hard to say why this happened.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Strange greyed mark on screen?

    Hi,
    I have just noticed a strange grey mark on my screen (I think it is similar to the ghost mark questions some people have posted).
    It only shows up when the screen has a dark colour on it, but is only visible with the backlight on, and seems to disappear when I dim the brightness al the way down, see pics:
