Macbook Pro Retina 15" strange stain on screen

Hi guys. Today i noticed a strange stain on the bottom right corner of my Macbook Pro Retina 15 screen (plase see the photo provided). I thought that it's just dirty but it's impossible to clean it. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi!, this is a message that I left in another post that is related to this case:
Hi guys. I have the same problem and this clearly is a design problem.
We all have had bad experiences in both official Apple stores and partners stores separately so I think is time to make Apple seriously aware of this issue and ask them to find us a free and permanent solution. We are all Apple loyal customers and this problem clearly is not our fault, it is not driven by bad use so we need to join forces and push the company to solve this.
I have created an online database so the people that want can get it and share your problem details, pictures as well as your Macbook details and contact info. As soon as I have an important amount of people (let's say 50 - 100 people) I will start contacting Apple employees via social networks and provide them with details of the people in the list.
https://macbookscreenproblem.wufoo.com/forms/zsnnv1p0gc67dc/
Of course this DB is STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL and will ONLY be used to contact Apple and show them that there is a significant amount of people with this problem and that we are demanding a solution to this.
Let's join forces and fix this annoying problem.
Thanks,
Eduardo

Connecting HP 2311x display to new macbook pro Retina - no output on external screen

I have a brand new MacBook Pro 15 in. with Retina display. I also have a HP 2311x monitor. When I plug in the HDMI cable, the external monitor says "check video cable" and the preferences "arrangement" thinks there is a display - even recognizes the type - but the external display just wont display anything but the "check video cable" box. I spent 2 hours on with apple yesterday, they had me do all sorts of resets and stuff - but no luck. The HDMi cable works when connecting a pc to the screen. When connected to by macbook, the screen on the macbook likes to flash black and its annoying. I have gotten really used to working with two screens.... and apple's suggestion was to buy a thunderbolt cable and try that. As it is, with this new macbook I have to buy a bunch of cables, I really don't want to buy another one when I am not sure that will work. Darn things are expensive when you are buying 4 connectors at once (ethernet connector since the speed via wireless is noticably slower; magsafe to magsafe2 converter; thunderbolt for my printer; and a connector for the monitor at home which doesn't have an hdmi port).
Any other suggestions before adding another to that list? Since Apple seems to be out of ideas... any info would be appreciated.

I have an HP 2311x as well. I'm using an HDMI cable and am not having any issues getting the screen to display. I know you said the cable works with a PC but have you tried a different HDMI cable just in case. It might be worth a try. Other than that, I'm not much help.
The issue I had when plugging this monitor into my MBP retina was that the image was very blurry on the HP 2311x. I almost gave up on using it and was going to just buy a Thunderbolt display but after much research I found a custom firmware update that fixed the underscan/blurriness issue. So be prepared for that if you get the screen to display.
If I can find that resource, I will post it here.
Good luck!

Macbook Pro retina, Windows 8.1 dual screen, Dell E228WFP problem/blurry

Hello brainiacs,
I am running my Macbook Pro 2013+ edition with Retina display and an extrenal screen.
Problem: Fonts and windows on secondary screen (Dell E228WFP), in extended display mode, appears blurry and/or large (see screenshot)
I use a Mini Display Port to DVI for my Dell Screen, Apple original product.
I use Windows 8.1 with latest Boot Camp, version 5.1
My Macbook is latest Macbook Pro with retina 15'' 2560x1600 px.
Dell Screen has a resolution of 1680 x 1050 px.
When I view the display settings in Screen Resolution mode in Windows, I get the following warning: "Your resoltuion is lower than 2028x1440. Some items might not fit on your screen". I do not believe this warining is regarding blurryness, but rather moving windows from primary to secondary monitor.
Here's a screenshot:
Some of the texts look fairly sharp and crisp, for example the pop-up menu (except, this has huge fonts). Outlook is very blurry. Chrome is, - ok, but not perfect.

Macbook Pro Retina late 2013 Display Yellowish Screen

I am Mac user for last 7 years. I have 3 other Mac at home. The latest one I bought is a Retina Display. First time I saw a Mac with a Yellow screen. I have tryied to calibrate, but not much success. Then I took it to an Apple service centre, they madeout the differece and replaced the screen after 7 days. But after replacing, the problem is still there. I just can not accept yellow screen as I am so used to with white screen on my other Macs.
Now the question is how do I solve it?

With the initial LG Retina display, folks were seeing image retention. Thereafter it seems that Apple was replacing the screen with Samsung screens, which exhibited a yellow-ish tint. There haven't been many complaints of image retention or tinting on the Late 2013 models even though the screens may be LG or Samsung. It looks as if Apple finally got it just right.
However, as I understand it, Apple is still using the older screens for replacement parts. The only thing that I can advise is to keep having the screen replaced until you get one that you can live with. The tinting in your photo is obvious and I know of no way to 'calibrate' a warm screen to get an acceptable white point.
Good luck,
Clinton

13" MacBook Pro - Retina, Late 2013 (A1502) Blank screen on startup, how do I fix?

The model experienced a minor water spill via the rear vents (from left to right). After "drying" the model, the system turned on with the display, everything worked great for over 6 hours. After adjusting the display brightness up via the F2 key, the display went black shortly thereafter..
Attempted all of the on/off tricks, including clearing the startup ram, so now it voices to hit the return key to run the setup in English (annoying).
External Sony TV and Samsung LCD display were blank. The TV stated that no signal was detected.
Plugged in iPhone 5S on both left and right USB ports, received buzz on startup for both, yet no charging indication.
Please assist me in determining what I need to replace or be looking at. Thank you, I do appreciate your input and suggestions!

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. They will make a diagnosis and let you know what the repair cost will be.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you connect an external display, the dedicated GPU is used. This GPU generates more heat and needs more power, being this probably the reason why your Mac is hot. It also depends on the applications you use, but in this case, I do not find any application that takes a lot of processor and RAM.
Anyway, those temperatures are still not dangerous. Fans should be working to decrease the temperature.

Macbook pro retina ghost image problem

I have heard about the burn-in problem on macbook pro retina display especially on LG screen. After I got my macbook retina for 3 months, the ghost image problem become really really unacceptable. After 4~5mins, the image on screen will burn in obviously for quite a long time. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS!! So I drop by apple store and find a genius, he did a persistence test on my macbook. The test is under a very low brightness, and I can not even know how he was operating. After 6 minutes, he said there is no burn-in problem. He explained that, if my macbook pass the test, it means my screen is within inspection. But I can tell if this screen is good, APPLE you should take a look at your inspection and change it RIGHT NOW. Everyone of my friend who have seen the problem on my screen says it is unacceptabe, how can it be within inspection? If anyone need a photo of that, i will provide.

Good work...
Back-up all your data.
If they replace your MacBookPro, you can avoid a service charge for runniing the back-up for you.

Macbook Pro Retina's screen with a lot of issues (big vertical lines)

I discovered recently that my MacBook Pro Retina have a lot of strange verticales lines on the screen.
Not visible in current usage, but when I switch to dashboard and his black background sreen I can clearly see those issues.
Anyone get this problem?
Have to change my computer?

I would certainly take it into an Apple Store and, if you can reproduce the problem for them, insist that it be fixed. If you're within your 14-day grace period, you can exchange your unit for another, no questions asked.

2012 macbook pro retina display artifacts on screen when using onboard video

2012 Macbook Pro Retina Display artifacts on screen when using onboard video.
About a month ago I've noticed these strange artifacts (blocky pixelated looking) running vertically down the screen. It first started when using Safari. Then it started to happen all the time. I turned off the auto switch video in preferences, which I'm assuming forces the computer to use the separate video card and the artifacts go away.
On top of that issue I also have had the ghosting issue.
Anyone else have this problem?

artifacts onscreen could mean a faulty gpu. You said by forcing it on inbuilt gpu you do not find this issue highlights that. Do take it in to apple for service and also tell them of your ghosting issue.
There are a few retina owners who have faulty gpus.

Screen flashes when waking up from sleep, Macbook Pro Retina 13" early 2013

Hey guys,
I have an issue with the wake up procedure on my new Macbook Pro Retina 13". This is how it looks: http://youtu.be/pBK8vRiVdX4
When my computer has been in sleep mode for a longer time (approximately 1-3 hours) it does this strange thing when I open the lid. It is black for a time and suddenly there is a blue flashing screen before it goes to the desktop. This process is about 10 seconds.
Does anyone know if there is a solution for this? Have you had the same problem? I called Apple support this morning and he told me to reset SMC and clear the PRAM, but the issue is still there.
Please let me know if you know something about this.
Kindly,
Mikael

i had the same problem too and i think i could isolate its cause. I tried a few things on my 13 inch retina macbook pro like switching off functions like ''put hard disk to sleep when possible'' but this wasnt a solution to the problem... after alot of playing around with my macbook, i realised that this flashing problem only occured when my macbook was scaled up to any resolution other than the native resolution... when i went back to the native resolution, the flashing stopped and my macbook started almost instantaneously after opening the screen... you should try it out... and tell me what you think...
think it is pretty annoying that we get this issue when scaled up to some other resolution and wish there is a solution somewhere online to solve this... but for now, i think it is quite an annoying bug but still not something i cant live with...
tell me what think about it:)

Macbook Pro Retina screen black lines

Hi everyone.
I have had my macbook pro retina since june 2013. I have had two strange experiences with the screen, all of a suddent after the screen went to sleep (on battery) and i turn it on again I get the screen filled with black and gray lines like this
and I cannot restore it to normal without turning it off and on again. I could take a screenshot though.
So I was wondering if you knew what it is due to and what should I do? My laptop is fairly new and I still have warranty.
It was purchased in New York but now I am in Copenhagen, Denmark.
We do not have a proper apple store, but some "Apple stores" which are affiliated with them and they normally ship them to Netherlands for repairing. Should I bring it in and get it fixed? Also I can do that here in DK too even though it was bought in New York right?
Hope someone can help me.

Yes. Take it to the store and have it checked out.
Best.

When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15", my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen. How do I fix this??

Hi Everyone,
This problem just started today. When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version), my screen is light gray like normal, and then after a few seconds my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds, and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen (where I choose to login as myself or a guest user). This suddenly started today and has not stopped since. This keeps happening every single time I turn on or restart my computer.
Yesterday I installed all the Mavericks and other updates that were available in the App Store, so I'm wondering if this is related to that since this never happened prior to my doing those updates yesterday. When I first installed the new OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) update, it went through the whole installation process (took about 10 minutes), and then during the installation I got an error message saying that it couldn't verify my iTunes application that was on my laptop, and then my laptop finished installing the updates. Then once my laptop restarted, the App Store "Updates" section said that I had to do the whole OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) and iTunes (Version 11.2) updates all over again. So my laptop did the whole installation again (took about 10 minutes, but this time I didn't get that "iTunes error message" during the installation process).
Now, when I go to the App Store "Updates" section, it says the following under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 days":
-Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update (Version 5.05) installed May 15, 2014
-OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
-iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
-OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
-iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
-Security Update 2014-002 (Version 1.0) installed April 22, 2014
I'm wondering if this flashing bright yellow screen upon bootup is related to the fact that my laptop installed the OS X Update and the iTunes Update two times each? Or is this new problem totally unrelated? It's just that this problem started a day after these 2 updates were installed twice.
My Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version) is otherwise working fine at least as of now. The only issue so far is this flashing bright yellow screen every time I turn on or restart my computer.
If anyone could please help me fix this so that my bootup screen doesn't flash completely bright yellow anymore, I would be forever grateful!
Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can provide.
hope everyone is well,
Elaine

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

My screen flickers in Safari MacBook Pro Retina 2012

My screen flickers in a totally random fashion and only in Safari when I am on the internet. It happens more or less on certain web pages and not very often, but it is very annoying when it does happen. My machine is a Macbook Pro Retina 15" late 2012 release. I have seen other posts on this issue dating back to 2012, however, there were not solutions submitted leaving me to believe that there is no solution or I may have missed it. People with the same problem say they have taken in their laptops to have them replaced by Apple only to find out their problem still exists, leading many to believe it's likely to be a software issue. Anyone have any ideas or answers to this issue?

Hey dhaynes3818,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with Safari on your MacBook Pro. To troubleshoot these issues, lets follow the steps in this article:
