  • HT3131 I would like to darken my Mac Air screen, so I can use may external display and the keyboard on the notebook--it is possible on a PC-does it work on a Mac?

    Sure it's possible.
    Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo on the top left of the menu).
    Choose "Display".  There's a slider bar for the screen brightness.  Adjust it and you're all set.

  • Mac air screen flicker

    my mac air screen flickers for no reason, does not appear to depend on the hinge, or power connected or not.
    hard reset keeps it down for a while **** screens out while writine this....

    You can perform the following two procedures and see if there is a difference:
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    But, I would strongly suspect a hardware issue related to your display, for which no online troubleshoot exists.
    Perform the Apple Hardware Test (or Apple Diagnostics depending on your model), and see if anything turns up:
    Using Apple Hardware Test - Support - Apple
    If the issue isn't resolved, bring your machine into Apple for a definitive and free diagnosis

    Congratulations. I think this is very hard to do.
    However, this is a forum devoted to video editing. You want one associated to the MacPro.

  • Mac Air screen dimming

    My Mac Air screen has started to randomly dim.  To get it back to normal brightness, I have to click on the color tab.
    In Display options, I have the 'Automatically adjust brightness' box unticked.  In Energy Saver options, all the options to dim the display are unticked.
    Help!  It only started happening a couple of weeks ago but it's rather annoying!
    Thanks.

    There's a slight chance this will help:

    Otherwise it needs to be serviced.

  • LINES DOWN MAC AIR SCREEN

    I have lines down my mac air screen, but they are not always there. And also, when I first boot the mac and presented with the apple logo they are not there, they only appear when it goes to the log in/enter password screen. Making me think its not a hardware issue? Its like a bar code, not coloured. I fresh installed Mountain Lion today.

    Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    If this does not help, contact Apple.
    Best.

  • My Mac laptop screen is black but everything else is on

    My Mac laptop screen is black but everything else is on.

    Hey Cdronet14,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 5. I see that you have already attempted a reset of the device. To isolate the issue further and determine if it is hardware related, the next step would be to backup and restore your device as new:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord.  Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on.

    New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord.  Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on. Sometimes holding the power button for a second is enough for it to come back on.

    I took it to the Genius Bar, and they identified it as a hardware issue. Just got it back today. Parts replaced were:
    620-5629 Display Module — Symptom: Distored/blurred/focus video issue
    605-3284 Top Case with Keyboard — Symptom: specific key(s) do not work
    So far so good. I'd suggest taking it in and not trying to work around it — it's a rare hardware issue (given the number of threads about it) and should be replaced.

  • Mac air screen not displaying correctly

    I have a Mac Air 13' screen. Recently I was using it and someone put a lemon head on the keyboard and slammed the screen down on it for no reason.
    The screen is now displaying a grey screen with a white vertical line down the middle. When I turn the computer off and then back on the screen is
    exactly the same. When I type I cannot see anything that I type. I have a two year warranty on my computer. I am just wanting to know if there is anytthing
    that I can do without sending it in. If there is not, who or what am I supposed to call to send in the computer to fix it. Also would Ribbit computers or another computer repair store, would they be able to fix my screen without me sending it in to Apple. Any information would be appreciative and very helpful! Thanks for reading!

  • Mysterious pinhole in Mac Air screen?

    Hello everyone, I have been reading about a similar problem on some pro models with retina display but I just want to see if anyone else has this blemish on their devices.  Recently I cleaned my 13 inch mac air and realized that there is a tiny pin-sized hole in the screen.  I am very careful with my laptop and always make sure that the keyboard is free of dust before I shut it.  I have been reading things about 'exploding pixels' online, is this true?  I see no possible way how anything could've punctured my screen from the outside.  My Mac air is an early 2014 model and I have had it for about 7 months now, Thank you for any help you can offer!

  • When I flip open my Mac the screen is black but it lights up as I close it it lights up

    I recently had my screen replaced and now my screen isn't working. When I open my Mac the screen is blank. As I start to close it the screen lights up but goes black as I go to open it.

    You should take it back to where the screen was replaced and have them look at it. It sounds to me as though the inverter cable is broken.

  • Mac air screen broken

    the screen of my mac air (11 inches) is partly broken.
    can it be replaced?  how?
    thanks

    You can look at the iFixit.com and the Powerbookmedic.com web sites for parts and instructions.  Or you may take the MBA to an Apple store genius bar and have them effect the repair.
