Mac air screen problems.

Any ideas? It started on the left and moved to the right.

Try a pram reset, This will reset the data that carries screen resalution and configuration.

If that doesn't work its most likely a video card issue and needs to be taken to the apple store

    Sure it's possible.
    Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo on the top left of the menu).
    Choose "Display".  There's a slider bar for the screen brightness.  Adjust it and you're all set.

  • Mac air screen flicker

    my mac air screen flickers for no reason, does not appear to depend on the hinge, or power connected or not.

    You can perform the following two procedures and see if there is a difference:
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    But, I would strongly suspect a hardware issue related to your display, for which no online troubleshoot exists.
    Perform the Apple Hardware Test (or Apple Diagnostics depending on your model), and see if anything turns up:
    Using Apple Hardware Test - Support - Apple
    If the issue isn't resolved, bring your machine into Apple for a definitive and free diagnosis

  • Mac Air screen dimming

    My Mac Air screen has started to randomly dim.  To get it back to normal brightness, I have to click on the color tab.
    In Display options, I have the 'Automatically adjust brightness' box unticked.  In Energy Saver options, all the options to dim the display are unticked.
    Help!  It only started happening a couple of weeks ago but it's rather annoying!
    Thanks.

    There's a slight chance this will help:

    Otherwise it needs to be serviced.

  • LINES DOWN MAC AIR SCREEN

    I have lines down my mac air screen, but they are not always there. And also, when I first boot the mac and presented with the apple logo they are not there, they only appear when it goes to the log in/enter password screen. Making me think its not a hardware issue? Its like a bar code, not coloured. I fresh installed Mountain Lion today.

    Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    If this does not help, contact Apple.
    Best.

  • Mysterious pinhole in Mac Air screen?

    Hello everyone, I have been reading about a similar problem on some pro models with retina display but I just want to see if anyone else has this blemish on their devices.  Recently I cleaned my 13 inch mac air and realized that there is a tiny pin-sized hole in the screen.  I am very careful with my laptop and always make sure that the keyboard is free of dust before I shut it.  I have been reading things about 'exploding pixels' online, is this true?  I see no possible way how anything could've punctured my screen from the outside.  My Mac air is an early 2014 model and I have had it for about 7 months now, Thank you for any help you can offer!

  • Mac air screen not displaying correctly

    I have a Mac Air 13' screen. Recently I was using it and someone put a lemon head on the keyboard and slammed the screen down on it for no reason.
    The screen is now displaying a grey screen with a white vertical line down the middle. When I turn the computer off and then back on the screen is
    exactly the same. When I type I cannot see anything that I type. I have a two year warranty on my computer. I am just wanting to know if there is anytthing
    that I can do without sending it in. If there is not, who or what am I supposed to call to send in the computer to fix it. Also would Ribbit computers or another computer repair store, would they be able to fix my screen without me sending it in to Apple. Any information would be appreciative and very helpful! Thanks for reading!

  • Mac Air connection problems

    So I just got my new MBA yesterday. Wifi connected in the apple store. I get home and it's not working. My iPad has been working no problems. My cousin has a pro and that's been working with no issues. I've  been on the phone with Mac support for 30 mins and their final diagnostic is that my network has been hacked that's why it's not connecting. Is this real?

    Within the Displays preference pane in System Preferences is a choice whther to extend your desktop, or mirror your desktop. Apparently, the current selection is to "extend the desktop".
    Set the preference to "mirror the desktop", so that your internal display shows the same image as your external display.
