Macbook Pro, Screen Yellow or Warmer?

Hi, I got my new Macbook Pro (Late 2011) yesterday, the grapics card is 6770M-1GB and the screen is Anti-Glare Hi-Re 15".
But when I'm comparing it with my old Macbook Pro (Early 2011, 6750-1G, Anti-Glare Hi-Re 15" screen) which I bought two months ago, it seems the screen of new one is yellow or warmer, right?
I mean, I do things about photos so I'm senstive about this issue, did you guys meet the same issue?
PS: Here is the picture. The left is the old one and the right is new one.

The right one is so wrong, it should be bright white like the left one is.
My Early 2011 17" Anti-glare is bright white.
All I can suggest is run the System Preferences> Monitors> Color > Calibration
If that doesn't work, then reinstall Lion by holding command r keys while booting.
If that doesn't work, call AppleCare and email them a picture/link to see for themselves it's not right.

Appears and quickly disappears a new screen overlaying the screen in use, it starts at the bottom of the screen tela.MACbook pro retina.O what could be causing this?

Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them. They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent. They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover. The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free. If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store. For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

What color calibration tool do I use to calibrate my MacBook Pro screen to get accurate color when I print my my photos?

What color calibration tool do I use to calibrate my MacBook Pro screen in order to get accurate color when I print my photos?

This what I have been trying...... Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

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.

Macbook Pro Screen wakes up from sleep without any acitvity

I've set my MacBook Pro screen to turn off after two minutes of activity. I've had this setting for all my Macs and I've never had any problems.
Recently though, my MacBook Pro's screen turns on by itself without me touching the computer or any mouse attached to it. What could be the problem?
It's really annoying when the screen turns on at night.
Any help will be appreciated.

I have the same problem. I brought up console and there is nothing at the same time as the screen turning on. My situation is as follows:
I put on a podcast. The only applications running are firefox and iTunes. I turn the screen brightness all the way down with the F1 key, then mouse over the corner of the screen set to turn the monitor off.
After about 6 minutes, the screen comes back on at brightness level 1. If I touch a button or the trackpad the screen turns back off. It stays off for about 6 more minutes and does it again.
Edit: I just checked the logs with all showing and the only thing I see is a Wake Reason = EC LID0.
Any tips?

Crack in MacBook Pro Screen

Hello,
I am not entirely sure how it happened, but in the right corner of the glass of my 13" MacBook Pro screen there is a crack stretching down to the bottom of that portion of the screen. There is nothing wrong with any other part of the screen, just the crack in the glass.
I intend to get it fixed before I head back to school in the fall but I was wondering a couple things;
1. I have the Apple Care Extended Warranty, is there any chance repairs would be covered?
2. If repairs aren't covered, around how much should I expect to spend to get it fixed through Apple?
Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
Probably not what you want to hear, but I doubt it would be covered as it was likely caused by some kind of physical trauma. AC doesn't cover that. But there's always a chance, and only Apple can decide, so I'd certainly ask. Sorry, I don't know anything about cost. Good luck to you.

Small MacBook Pro screen scratch: Are they normal for a 2+ year old computer?

Hello,
I am writing about a topic that may have been mentioned around on these forums multiple times, scratches on the MacBook Pro screen display. In August 2010, I bought my 2010 MacBook Pro and since then I have been very careful with the screen by avoiding to touch it and clean it around every two to three months. However, today, I was cleaning my MacBook Pro screen and a way I examine the screen cleaness is by placing my iPhone 4S LED flash light illuminating the screen which shows the smudges and dirt that the screen has. Unfortunately, today I found 2 scratches on my MacBook Pro screen which run horizontally, these scratches are very small at around 1mm in lenght. They are not noticeable when the screen is on, which is why the scratch may have gone undetectable up until today when I used my iPhone's LED.
Off course I am a little dismayed because through all my carefullness when I clean the screen (I use a gentle up and down motion to clean the screen), still I was not able to prevent a screen scratch. When I close my MacBook Pro, I still use the plastic material that came on top of the keyboard to avoid any contact of the screen and the keys; I always shake that plastic material before placing it on top of the keyboard . So here's my question is it normal for a almost 2.5 year old computer to have two small scratches as the one I am speaking about.
I did find the screen bezel at Amazon and I may buy one as a spare and store it in a secure place and use it if there are more pronounced screen scratches.
Thanks in advance for any answers and suggestions to my predicament.

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro. I do not take any care to put anything in between the keyboard and screen... I just use it as it was made to be used. I don't take any particular care when cleaning the screen... often, it's just rubbing off a fingerprint with my sleeve or the tail of my shirt. No scratches whatsoever.
How your screen got scratched is not something anyone here can answer. We can speculate, at most, but that's not likely to be very useful. I'd recommend not putting anything between the screen and keyboard when closing the machine. That could very well be the cause of the problem, if something got stuck to that material when you closed it between keyboard and screen.
Thanks for the suggestion... I will apply these changes to my MacBook Pro's storing procedure and remove the plastic out of the equation. What bugs me is the fact that because the scratch is 1mm long and horizontal it tells me that a force dragged the material. The only thing I can recollect is when one time a family member accidentally passed close to my MacBook Pro with his headphone jack disconnected and hanging, unfortunately the metal part scraped over the screen but there were not scratches to detect. The impact area as I recollect is close to the scratch but the force of the impact and travel distance was not something as forceful to create such damage. Maybe the plastic is the culprit which makes me feel disappointed because I was using it to avoid problems rather than creating one. Anyways, I think I'll buy a spare bezel for my MacBook and in case there are more future and pronounced scratches, I will send it to repairs to an Apple Authorized Service Provider and give them the bezel.

Calibrating PAL CRT monitor and Macbook Pro Screen

Hi,
Can anyone offer any tips on how to calibrate a monitor and the macbook pro screen for PAL colours.
On my monitor you can adjust the brightness, contrast and the colour temp (which is set to 6500). You don't seem the be able to adjust the colour, for example make it black and white, unles you can do that by lowering the colour temp.

... but the MXO won't help the OP with his MacBook Pro screen.
True, but he did say that he wanted to not only calibrate the MacBook Pro, but another monitor as well...

Just offering a suggestion...not knowing what that other monitor was.

How do I resize Photoshop - it's too large for my Macbook Pro screen and I can't get to the resize corners?

Photoshop is too large for my Macbook Pro screen. I cannot access the resize handles - they're off the screen and I can't drag it. Any solution?

Do you see the red, yellow, and red window buttons? If so click on the green one.
If you don't see them then you are possibly in full screen mode, and pressing the "F" key once or twice allow you to get back to normal mode.

Broken Macbook Pro Screen

So my Macbook Pro screen broke today. The laptop has Applecare and I was just wondering if Applecare covers any part of it? With my IBM Thinkpad T41, the screen broke and IBM paid for half of the $500 repair fee, does apple do anything like that? How much would it be to replace the screen?

If you must know how I broke two laptop screens, I take my laptop everywhere, I mean everywhere. I am a photographer (I use a Canon 30D if anyone is wondering), as for my Macbook Pro, the screen breaking was the result of me hiking up a rather steep hill, loosing my footing with my laptop in my laptop backpack. The backpack is well padded (Crumpler) but my camera with lens still attached and me falling, isn't too great for a laptop screen. The superdrive was also damaged and there is a nice dent in the bottom.
The T41 was in a Targus black laptop case, loading a bunch of stuff into my vehicle, left it on the black asphalt, never noticed that I didn't load it into the vehicle, backed up, and you can imagine what happened. Surprising, the casing of the laptop was still fine, didn't even look like it was ran over. Still worked too, I needed an external monitor though

Tried a pram reset?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US (altough I doubt this might affect this issue, it can't hurt)
Have you tried a Safe boot? Left side SHIFT at power up, hold till you see the progress bar then release and allow to finish booting,. (note this will take longer that usual) Thsi will disable 3rd party software/extensions. Login and see if the issue still persists, if not logout and boot normally.
Another thing you can try is creating a test account and see if it has the same issue there, this will help determine if it is related only to your account.
Also check About this Mac (Apple logo) option, system information, power in the left side bar and check the battery info.
If you have already tried these steps, you should include what you have already tried so people will not offer redundant suggestions.
If you still are having issues, it looked as though you were typing that you thoght you may still be under warrany, if so you may want to take it in and have it checked out, as there the keyboard/screen issues along with the no wake on battery, it may be related to a battery problem?
You can check warranty status by going here and entering your serial number.

For several months my MacBook Pro screen randomly shuts off. The keyboard is on. To fix it I use the power button to shut the computer off. Today the entire computer turned off. It took several tries to turn it back on. What is causing this?
