Macbook PRo screen brightens with white

My macbook pro is doing something weird. lets say i log into my account, my deaktop has a nice red flame background and its a good red.. then ill do a fast user switching to my girlfriends account which is fine but when i switch back to mine.. the red background develops into a pinkish red. no longer the nice red it normally has.. its kind of like the screen had a white film pulled over it. Is anyone having this problem? I disabled alot of the automatic dim the screen options in both energy saver and monitor options.

YES! Thank you! thank you! You rock! Wish I could buy you a beer or a dinner at olive gardens!

MacBook Pro screen turns blank white when try to turn on!

My MacBook Pro is turning on to startup screen with apple icon and loading signal, but then after a few minutes the screen just turns white. What is wrong?

Reset the PRAM > Resetting the PRAM
If that doesn't help, if your Mac is running v10.7 Lion, v10.8 Mountain Lion, or v10.9 Mavericks, startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to repair the startup disk if necessary and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
For OS X prior to v10.7, insert your install disc then startup your Mac while holding down the C key. From there you can use Disk Utility to repair the disk.

MacBook pro screen blury with a splash of colors starting in the middle

Hi, I am a new Mac user, and I've had my macbook pro for 6 months now. Yesterday, when I started the computer, the graphics were blurry and then there was a splash of colors (rainbow of colors) covering the middle to upper part of the screen. The rest of the screen was blurry and a bit blinking.
I had been moving around with the laptop the whole but I cannot figure out what happened or what I can do to fix this.
Please help. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Go to System Preferences>Universal Access and be sure the Zoom is turned off and the Enhance Contrast slider is all the way to the left. Sometimes UA features get turned on accidentally with disconcerting results.
Also, if you can, run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test. You may get a clue in the form of an error code, which could indicate a hardware problem. You should still be under the one year warranty, which should cover whatever is wrong. If UA has not been turned on accidentally, you might have a graphics chip problem or possibly a display problem which Apple would need to fix.
Good luck!

Macbook Pro Screen blink with Genius bar. What should i expect?

Hello!,
I have to say in my almost 20 years of being a mac user i've never had a problem with any of my mac's. I now have a minor issue with a brand new Macbook Pro that i bought on New years day. The screen has an odd blink on the upper 1/3 portion of the screen. So i've decided to make an appointment with my local Apple store to show it to a genius. I was actually able to capture the blink on video so that i can show it to the genius.
Now my concern. If its a software issue, thats fine, i'll wait for a patch. But i feel weird about Apple fixing the machine. I feel like the laptop will lose its "magic". The receipt said there is a 14 day return policy, i guess im over that otherwise i would have paid the restocking fee to get a brand new one. Do you think I am just being dumb?

Rany,
This is a support forum. Your question isn't really something that anyone that here can answer. Only someone that knows you will be able to say if you're being "dumb"
Of course it's a bummer when you get a brand new computer... especially a high end one like a MacBook Pro... and you find you have a problem with it. Apple's service has always been among the best. If you do have a hardware issue... bring it in and have them take care of it for you. If you get it back and discover there is something more wrong with it than when you brought it in, then address it. I wouldn't not get it serviced for fear of it losing its "magic". If you're just slightly over your return period... there's no harm is asking them if they would be willing to replace it. There's no guaranty that they will, but they have the flexibility to do so. The worst case scenario is that they fix the one you have.

MacBook Pro screen black with cruiser

I turned on my MacBook Pro today to find it starts up all normal then it just goes to a black screen with the mouse cruiser... I've tried shutting it down and turning it back on a couple of times but it just does the same it was fine last night when I was using it. Also the brightness goes up and down and it makes noises when I press most of the keys /: please help

Hello Olivepal,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your computer is not booting like normal. I'd like you to do the two processes below, first starting with the SMC reset, followed by resetting the NVRAM.

Macbook pro 2009 unibody with white screen and kernel panics

I upgrade to Lion a month or two ago and things have been working fine. A few days ago, I try to wake my computer from sleep and it freezes on a white screen. I reboot only to continue to find the white screen. I hear the chime every time on boot. From then on, I am having different responses on startup.
Initially I could boot to single user mode no problem, but would continue to get white screen on regular boot. I tried to reinstall lion, and on restart midway through install I got the half-gray "you need to restart" kernel panic screen.
Yesterday at apple store, it would not boot to single user, OS select, verbose, etc. modes. They told me it was logic board or hard drive.
Bough a SSD, successfully installed Snow Leopard, and then continued to have similar kernel panics.
Now, replaced originaly harddrive and successfully reinstalled Lion, although got a kernel panic on the halfway reboot (log posted below). Install finished, and now up and running for about an hour. Decided to reboot to check, and big surprise, one more kernel panic. (2nd log posted below).
Is this a logic board? Seems like the HD is not the problem since same issue with a SSD.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated, apply was very unhelpful (I am out of warranty, no applecare). Thanks

Run the Apple Hardware Test:
How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
Some "common" error indicators:
SNS - sensor error
MEM - memory error
HDD - hard disk drive error
MOT - fan error
Cannot guarantee that it will reveal anything. As for using the other GPU all I say is you can try switching to it in Energy Saver preferences.

MacBook Pro screen freezes with error report

Today, my screen froze suddenly, and since the I have this problem reoccurring in certain intervals. I ran /sbin/fsck -fy and got the following results. I assume this is something with the processor? Would be nice if someone could help me out here.

I have to say that I have a bad battery, but as long as it is plugged in, it shouldn't be a problem?
Also, i unfortunately dont have the hardware diagnosis dvd and cant get it to run by holding down d
Thanks!

This log is showing an input/output error with the hard disk. It means that your hard disk is damaged.
If you have a backup of your files, I recommend you to install a new hard drive. It can be done at a reseller or Apple Store, but it's cheaper to do this yourself. Any 2'5" SATA hard drive will work, so you can have a look for hard disks at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/

Translucent impromptu possible "hacker" message interrupts current session, locks MacBook Pro screen and demands that I restart by holding down the power button of my LapTop to turn it off first. Any thought? Could this be another way to mess with us?

I was listening to a YouTube video on the history of X15 rocket airplanes. All of sudden, out of the blue a translucent back message drops top down, stops the video, locks up my MacBook Pro screen and demands that I restart my lapTop by first holding down my power switch, then turn the lapTop back on. This has never happened to me before. The message was in black & white, and in about 6 languages: English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese. Does any one recognize what this might be?
The Computer turned back on just fine as if nothing had Now I am freeking out that they could be reading my key strokes or something. Could they have used this tactic to install malicious software on my computer by first taking away my ability to do anything about it being that I am not a software engineer? Can any one think of anything simillar? I reported this as a bug to APPLE the regular way, then cleared my Safari cookies, then run software update which returned nothing new as in " your software is up to date at this time."
Can any one please help?

Hi stedman1,
Thank you so much. This seems to make sense to me now. I was freaking out a bit that some hacker could be messing with my MacBook Pro. I will be monitoring this issue from now on as it has never happened before.

Why won't my MacBook Pro start up? White screen and flashing question mark.

Hi,
I've had my MacBook Pro for almost 2 years now and I installed OS X 10.8 about 4 months ago.
Today I turned the MacBook Pro on and a white screen with a flashing question mark appeared. I tried then getting the startup manager up: turning on the laptop and immediately holding in alt (option). But nothing appeared for about 25 seconds until a rotating Earth labelled 'Internet recovery' appeared that gave me options to join wireless connections. However, my internet wasn't in the options and when I tried typing in the information required to join my internet the laptop would just load and never find it.
I then tried putting in my Mac OS X install DVD (10.6.7) and help in C until the apple logo appeared on the screen and the little rotating loading circle appeared. That then disappeared and a cicle with a cross through it appeared (similar to a no entry sign). Then after about 30 seconds a blue screen followed by a grey screen appeared until eventually the disc ran properly. I then went into Disk Utility but there was no option called Macintosh HD, only the discs content. It wouldn't let me first aid, erase or repair anything.
I'm totally stumped and have 4 exams at university within the next 2 weeks. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me out here?
Thanks,
Best wishes,
Connor

The support article linked below is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to starting up from an installation disc, you should instead start up in Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
If you don't have a current backup of all the data on the startup volume, and you want to preserve that data, then you must try to back up before you do anything else. Ask for instructions if you need them.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to reinstall OS X from Recovery, if necessary. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

Gray and white smudges in MacBook Pro Screen

About 1 week ago, I noticed 2 faint grey smudges in the middle of my MacBook Pro screen. I dismissed it at the time because I could barely see them unless I looked extremely close on a dark screen. I opened my computer up yesterday to see that the amount of spots had tripled from 2 to 6, are becoming more apparent, and all in the same area in the middle of the screen. They are still only able to be seen on a dark screen. The smudges are about the size of the cursor Also, when I tilt my head or tilt my laptop screen far back on a white screen, I can see that those spots turn slightly brighter white than the rest of the screen. While the grey smudges aren't connected, these white areas appear to connect to make a circle.
Another quick note, in December, I had a similar problem with my screen. The white spots were in the same circular shape and clear on any background, however, instead of grey smudges, I had spots that were black in the exact same circular shape. Apple labeled it as pixel anomalies and replaced my screen for me with no problems. Do you think it is pixel anomalies or something different? I bought the laptop in September 2011 and it is under every

Take it in for repairs while you are still under warranty.

Why does my MacBook Pro screen have white marks on it and how do I get rid of it?

My MacBook Pro started having these white marks right in the middle of the screen and I don't know how to get rid of it. I brought this MacBook online so I only have the invoice from seller. Is this sufficient evidence to show apple to replace under warranty?

you will have to bring it to apple so that they can determine that.

Comparing MacBook Pro screen with Intel iMac

I'm wondering if anyone here that has a MacBook Pro has had a chance to compare its quality to another mac's screen. I've been working on trying to colour-calibrate my MacBook Pro using SuperCal, and I've noticed that the colour on the MacBook Pro is nowhere near as nice as on the intel iMac.
Obviously expecting a laptop screen to look as good as the larger iMacs is a bit much, but I was still very surprised at the difference in quality.
Anyone else noticed this?

The MacBook Pro screen is not as bright or vibrant as any plug-in type LCD I've compared it to.
However, it is much nicer than any of my previous laptops (including an Aluminum Powerbook G4). It is significantly brighter, with somewhat better color.
It would be nice if the laptop had a better backlight that could turn on when plugged in, but that's probably up there with my wish for a 2nd processor that would turn on during plug-in as well...
Cheers,
Josh

You should be able to turn off your MBP by pressing the power button down continously for about 5-10 sec. When you reboot it you are going to want to enter into a terminal screen. Hopefully the following YouTube video helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKOX72xNmbo
