My LCD Display is showing a blue hue for a short time after plugging in.

I'm finding with the display that when I plug in my laptop, after a few seconds a blue hue comes over the screen. I've tried switching to the better performance graphics card on the MacBook Pro and get the same problem. The first few seconds the color is correct.
Can anyone help?

Thanks, this is what I did:
1. In system preferences go to 'Displays'
2. Go to the color tab and click on 'Calibrate...'
3. Check the tick box for 'expert mode'
4. Continue through to Target White Point
5. Change from 6507k to 6024k.

Anywhere you can find it via the obvious Google search. It won't be from Apple, but will be a generic replacement.
Why are you throwing away any future chances of out of warranty replacements when you drop or drown it? Apple will give you a warranteed replacement phone for $199 (in the US, roughly the same in your country)

Ipad mini blue screen for the third time.

Ipad mini blue screen for the third time. Bought in February 2014.
What I restored the first time but the problem persists. I want to know if it is a hardware problem or software?
Thank you.

Could be either. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. It shouldn't be blue screening.

How can I get my phone to show me my passwords for Facebook and Twitter after they are imputed?

I forgot my twitter account password. I need to log in from my Macbook Safari Browser, but I cannot remember the password. Does anyone know how I can access my passwords and view them?

What do you mean by icons? Website favicons for the tabs you have pinned? Your bookmarks? Something else?
Please provide a screenshot.

HDR camera mode shows "Saving" for a long time after taking a picture

I noticed that after taking a photo in the HDR mode with the camera on 4.1 (4th Gen phone), the "Saving Photo" and spinning icon persist on the screen. The only way to stop it is to tape the top button on the phone, which shuts off the screen. When I go back the photo appears to be saved with no harm. Anyone else have this lag?
It makes taking another photo very slow.

You must have an older iPhone. My iPhone 4 takes about several seconds to save them, which was kinda annoying first. I'm not taking pictures in a rapid succession so I guess it is not that bad, taking into account a better quality of the HDR pics. I hope Apple fixes this delay in the future update of the iOS.
I was wondering though if we disable keeping of a non-HDR picture, would that speed it up? (Settings -> Photos -> Keep Normal Photo -> Off)
In your case, Fred, it would probably be better to shoot in a normal (non-HDR) format due to older hardware.

Mail shows wrong creation dates for some older messages after upgrade to OSX 10.9.

Searching for old mail messages I find that the creation date on many old messages is now incorrect after upgrading my system to OSX 10.9.
Searching mail for messages from a person now results in threads that include unconnected messages and messages that are out of date order making the thread difficult to follow.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

8500 LCD display shows garbage after a reset

8500 all-in-one printer: I called tech support for a jam message. They attempt to download the latest printer firmware. They can't get the firmware loader to start up so that eventually ask me to unplug the printer, hold down the # and the 6 keys and plug in the power to perform a hard reset of factory settings. On power up all displays in the LCD printer screen are total unrecognizable garbage. Every now and then an "[OK]" will scroll by but nothing else is comprehensible. They eventually agreed to send a replacement printer and I was back in business. 6 months later the paper jam message starts again. Tech support again tells me to do the #, 6 power off/on reset and again the LCD display goes to garbage. They were again not able to download new firmware to the printer and again a replacement is coming. Each time they say they have never seen the display show only garbage and implied that I was crazy. Has anyone else seen the LCD display only show garbage (this is NOT a foreign language but special characters, etc)? Repeating the power on reset does not change the display to something understandable. I would like to be able to fix this myself and get HP to say that they have seen this before. It can't be just me.

Dude... I just figured it out. Since you cannot read the menus on the printer LCD, you have to go in via the built-in Web Server. Here's what I did:
1) check your main router for printer's IP address in DHCP table. Name of my printer was "HP7243AC".
2) Type that IP address into your browser (does work on Chrome)
3) On the web page that comes up, go to Settings tab
4) On the index at the left of the page, click on International, under Preferences.
5) Set Country/Region to USA, and Language to English.
Boom... done in two tics.
Hope this helps!

White screen after replacing LCD display myself. Help needed!

I tried replacing the cracked LCD display, the fuctions on the iPod is still working but after replacing the LCD display it turns out to be white. I search the internet for solution but can't find any instead the possible problem. I found forums stating it could be the 'GPU chip' is fried on the logic board. I tried the cracked LCD on another iPod Touch 2nd Gen and found out that you could still see the outline of the lockscreen and time but when I tried on the original iPod Touch 2nd Gen it's just white, the same goes for the new LCD display. It's there any possible way to replace just that part without resetting the iPod Touch to its factory settings and how much would it cost?

There

Connecting an Apple 17" LCD Display to my PowerBook

Hello
I'm a complete novice at displays and I need some very basic advice!
I'm thinking of getting an Apple 17" LCD Display off eBay. I know I need a connector/adapter and these seem to be also available on eBay although they do seem to vary from about £4 to £30! Do I need other connectors - say for power? What are the combined power connectors I've seen? I want to link it to my 550 Powerbook Titanium.
Is there a specific connector I need? What do I need to look out for? Is there a reason why they vary in price? Is/was there an Apple part number I can look out for?
Also, can I use the same connector to link up a non Apple display?
What do people think about Formac flat panels?
Any thoughts on what's best?
Thanks Russ

Hi, Russ. The Apple Studio Display 17" LCD (with a
clear acrylic case) connects to a Mac through its ADC
port, which is designed to feed video data, USB, and
power to the display through a single cable. Your
550MHz Tibook has a VGA-out port, which does not
supply power to a connected display, nor does it
supply USB to enable the USB port(s) on the display.
Apple's system requirements for the Studio Display
include an ADC or DVI port on the computer driving
the display. Your Powerbook model has neither, so I
suspect it can't drive the Studio Display at all.
http://support.apple.com/specs/displays/AppleStudioD
isplay17LCD.html
All other LCD displays I've ever seen offered for
less than $2000 are distant runners-up to Apple's
LCDs in image quality. I don't recall whether I've
ever seen a Formac LCD, but I would expect it to be
comparable to the general run of the low-end LCD
marketplace, i.e., cheaper than Apple's offerings and
far inferior to them.
When actual selling prices for identical items on
Ebay vary widely, it generally reflects limited
demand, variable supply, and differences in patience
from one buyer to another. Someone who feels a need
to "buy it now" will gladly pay a premium; someone
who can take it or leave it this time and is happy to
wait for a better deal next time an identical item
comes up won't pay anywhere near as much.
Thanks eww. But can I get an adapter which plugs into my vga port and converts to dvi? As I said in my post, I'm a no-hoper on all this stuff but I'm sure I've seen somewhere that Powerbooks like mine can display through an external monitor.
I mentioned the 17" Apple display because I (like you) think they are the best. I'm not too bothered about the extra USB on the screen but what you say about power also is a problem Can I get a power supply as well as a connecting adapter?
PS - I was also hoping to be ale to use the Apple display to give me a better view when using my G3 iMac DVSE but it looks that's a gonner too!!

Sub-Menus are displaying away from their parent Menu for first time.

Hi All,
I have a problem with sub-menus display location. In my application, I have a JPopupMenu to which several sub-menus (*JMenu*) are added. All the JMenuItems inside JMenu are having an Icon (Image) along with menu item title. I am providing a facility to change the font size of Menu Item names as well as the ImageIcon size dynamically through a dialog box. When the size is changed to larger value than the existing, the menus as well as submenus are getting displayed correctly. But when I change the size of ImageIcon and the font to smaller value than the existing one, then the submenus are getting displayed away from their parent menu for the first time. The location of sub menu display is matching with the location when their size was larger. This problem appears only for the first display of sub menus after their sizes are changed. For the successive display, the locating is resetting automatically to correct location.
So can anybody help me out about how to display submenus at correct location irrespective of font and image size changes for the first time also? Is there any event which gets fired when we change the font size or ImageIcon sizes? Is there any specific method to refresh the menu sizes if any of such properties (such as font size, ImageIcon size) are changed?
If you need any additional information, feel free to ask.

Below is the sample code for the query I placed. Steps to reproduce the problem are:
1. Click on "Increase Font" button.
2. Generate the popup at the right side corner of the screen (using right mouse click) such that the sub menu of edit should appear at left side of "Edit" option.
3. Click on "Decrease Font" button.
4. Generate the popup at the right side corner of the screen (using right mouse click) such that the sub menu of edit should appear at left side of "Edit" option.
You will see that sub menu of edit menu is displayed away from the popup for the first time. The sub menu location matches with previous location when its font size was larger. Location resets automatically for the next successive displays.

LED display has blue cast compared to 23" LCD display

Just purchased the 27" LED Cinema display. It is side by side with my 23" LCD display. The colors are dramatically different. Is there some way to calibrate the new 27" monitor so that it has the same appearance as the 23" LCD or is the technology so different that they will never really look similar? I have a Mac Pro 2 X 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.
thanks
russ

Yes, they do frequently have blue tints which cannot be calibrated out. I had to return two of them because of the problem and eventually just got my money refunded. I was told that Apple Engineering had no fix other than to suggest using a professional calibrator system which would almost certainly have done no good. I'd suggest you return the Thunderbolt display for refund and buy a different brand or wait until Apple releases a new generation of displays, whenever that happens.
Regards.

Blue & White LCD display

Hey everyone, I was going through my old apple items and found an about 14" LCD display, with the outside plastic the same blue and white as the popular G3. It is mounted on a spring loaded base which is height adjustable and can pivot up/down/left/right. There is also the option to remove the fancy base and use a kick stand to hold it up. It has buttons under the front edge, and even the option for RCA input!
I was hoping someone could help me find more info on this, and maybe even how much it maybe worth. Thanks!

Hi an, I have one, are you sure it's not a 15"?

Problem with LCD display on 17" iMac G4

The LCD display on my iMac went wacky on me yesterday. It's as though one of the three primary colors no longer works. The screen has a green tinge to it, and anything that's supposed to be black shows up as green. I've reset everything, run the Hardware Tools diagnostics (no problems found), and changed resloutions, monitor depth, and brightness levels many times. No luck. The screen is readable although very ugly.
Obviously I can take it to an Apple Store, but does anyone have any idea what it might be? I've searched the net and the forums and can't find anything close, but I know I can't be the only one to experience this problem. I called a mac repair shop a few minutes ago, and they said that the logic board would need to be replaced. I just can't believe that because nothing else is a problem.
Please help. Thanks.
17" iMac G4 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I "fixed" the problem a few days ago. Digging around here in the forums, I found another thread that gave explicit instructions on how to open the iMac and re-seat the connections. Here is the link (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=196785&start=30&tstart=30). It's a post from Androcles made on 3/26/06.
Just as he indicates, when I did this I found nothing to be loose at all, however upon putting it all back together, on the 2nd re-boot all was back to normal and still is. It's amazing how clear and crisp the screen is after suffering through the green hue for a few weeks...
Good luck, and feel free to ask me for help if necessary.

Hi! I'm having troubles while the TBD is connected. Suddenly the screen shows only blue colors. Anyone have idea of what's happening?

MBP 13" latest '11.
I've tried to check it in different LCD Displays but it happens again and again.
Example: I'm watching a movie and suddenly it only shows the image with blue colors.
The only solution it's to unplug the TBD, plug it again, and wait for few seconds. It's kinda disgusting repeat this operation, every 5 minutes of movie.
Anyone have some idea of what's happening?
Thanks!

Could your MBP be the issue?

My LCD Display is showing a blue hue for a short time after plugging in.
