My early 2011 MBP 17 started showing a thin vertical red line one inch from the left edge of the screen. Does anyone know what causes this problem?

Does anyone know what causes a thin vertical red line on the display?

There is a problem with the display or the connection to the display.  Take it to an Apple store genius bar for a definitive diagnosis.  The diagnosis will be free, any repairs will not be free.

  • Every so often when using safari my bookmarks disappear and then later the list shows up again.  Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

    Every once in awhile while using safari my bookmarks list disappears.  Later it just shows up again.  Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

    I have had exactly the same problem now with two mini iPads.  Everything was tried; 1) restarting; 2) restoring factory settings etc.  NONE worked.  Eventually Apple agreed to replace it.  I have had the replacement now for two to three months and exactly the same thing is happening again. So off to Apple tomorrow to get another replacement.
    I am quite a heavy user of the iPad so wonder if this is something to do with the fault.
    It is so frustrating as sometimes reset works, and then after 10/20/30/40 minutes (you pick) it goes unstable again.

  • I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?

    I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working perfectly. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?
    Where does the imovie.library reside? where do the events and projects reside?

    Hi winkydb,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you do not see the events or clips you were working with previously, first see if you can switch back to the library you were using with this method:
    Show or hide the Libraries list
    You select libraries and events in the Libraries list.
    To show the Libraries list: Click the Show button on the left side of the toolbar.
    The default location for iMovie libraries is the Movies folder in your home folder.
    You can find this information here:

    Hi RodNando,
    If you are getting an issue with the display on your iPhone such as you describe, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Specifically -
    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Verify the issue is not content related, by viewing different content.
    If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and Wallpaperand slide the slider.
    And -
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Outlook 2007 doesn't show icloud service running.  Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook?

    Outlook 2007 doesn't show the icloud service running in Windows 7 within outlook.  Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook?   I've installed the icloud control panel app and set it up to synch everything, but after initially downloading my icloud calendar, it won't process any calendar updates (new entries made on either iphone 4 on ios 5 or outlook). 
    So since the control panel installed, but the service doesn't show running in outlooks "trust center" add-ins list, anyone know the actual dll file it would point to so I can see if I can add it the hard way?

    I had the same issue and figured it out.  First you have to start Outook as administrator.  To do this, shift and right-click on outlook and click run as administrator.  Next you need to enable Hard-disabled add-ins:
    Hard-Disabled Add-Ins
    Hard disabling can occur when an add-in causes the application to close unexpectedly. It might also occur on your development computer if you stop the debugger while the Startup event handler in your add-in is executing.
    To re-enable an add-in
    In the application, click the File tab. 
    Click the ApplicationName Options button.
    In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
    In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list.  The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
    In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
    Select the add-in and click Enable.
    Click Close.
    Then you need to activate it. 
    To re-enable an add-in
    In the application, click the File tab.
    Click the ApplicationName Options button.
    In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
    In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Inactive Application Add-ins list.  The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
    In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the check box next to the disabled add-in.
    Click OK.

  • I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?

    Hi. It could be that the more you pile on the HD, the longer it will take to boot. When I first bought my MBP, it took maybe 30 seconds. But as I began putting more content on the HD, it seemed to take a bit longer to boot. You may also want to consider putting your MBP in sleep mode. That's what I do with mine and it doesn't hurt at all as far as I can tell.

  • HT201272 So I preorered an album from iTunes and now it won't download into my libraray.  It says that I purchased it on iTunes, but it won't even show up in the "Purchsed" library in my account. Does anyone know what I am supposed to do to downlaod it?

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

    Hi SDP1,
    Do you use Outlook or Entourage? If so, that's where all of your emails are stored. If you don't use either of those applications I'd go digging through the folders and see where all the space is tied up. Check the Identifies folders, that's probably where everything is located.

  • I have a macbook from early 2008, and when I sign onto safari I get an error message for fast browser search plugin.  After that error comes up my computer freezes and I have to force it to shut down.  Does anyone know what that means and how I can fix it

    Means you have an incompatible Safari extension installed. Look in the /Home/Library/Safari/Extensions/ folder for the offending plug-in and delete it.

  • My appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy, does anyone know what the problem could be? I don't think I have been hacked (no money subtracted, etc.)

    Hi all,
    For some time now, my appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy. When I try to update it it asks for my ID and password (all normal), but then it gives an Unknown Error.
    I am 100% sure I didn't buy the app, I do not see any transaction on my card or in the appstore apart of this one, so does not seem to be a hack.
    Does anyone know what is happening, this is a tricky thing which is making me lose trust in the payment/account system that Apple is using.
    Thanks!

  • I seriously don't know what caused this to start being a problem until today it worked fine, but I added an exception for popups full question in DETAILS

    is there anyway to allow Firefox to allow pop ups from this 1 page of Facebook / well this 1 game https://apps.facebook.com/vampiresdarkside/ and not the entire pan in the Ass Pop up happy site, I cant see any sense in allowing popups from all
    apps.facebook.com
    and when I try to add it as the exception should be your program edits it to be that crap above instead of the exception I entered specifically,
    apps.facebook.com/vampiresdarkside/
    I seriously don't know what caused this to start being a problem until today it worked fine, but I added an exception for popups from this one site in Chrome and Firefox decided it wouldn't allow it popups from this part of Facebook and no I am not allowing all the FB apps to have popups I never had to before
    apps.facebook.com/vampiresdarkside/
    have popups after adding the popup exception in chrome, and no I did nothing to Firefox but it is kinda asking me to switch to Opera or some other crap browser with it acting like this, I modified the exception in chrome and Firefox now wont allow the pop ups it always had up until chrome allowed them WTF

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    I tried to start my computer and just have a white screen. Does anyone know what this might be?

    Not good news. But you will need to be more descriptive. What version of OS X are you running? Did you do anything different prior to turning it off the time before this happened? Is their an Apple logo on the screen? Is there a spinning gear below the logo? What version of OS X was installed when the computer was new?
