Not image burn - but a weird discoloring...

I had a slight bit of image burn on my 23" LCD yesterday, but it seems to have gone away (thank goodness)...
However, up along the top, there is something that looks like a.... a blob shaped thing running down from the top of the monitor. Almost looks like a large drip...
It is possible that someone here might have cleaned the monitor at one point with a wet cloth (before I got to tell them to NOT do that...).... is it possible that that could have "stained" my monitor?
Would a lot of pressure - i.e. pushing down while cleaning - cause something like that?
Thanks,
Jon

I had noticed some odd ghosting of my finder windows while playing WoW some time ago. I noticed it again tonight and started investigating... The burn-in is mostly gone after a restart and clearing my desktop of windows/icons and trying various desktop pics/colors to investigate it. Mostly. I still have a narrow band, on the left-most edge, where I can still see some sort of ghosting. It's wider at the top... When I restart, I can see a very clear ghosted image of the apple icon.
This was the first similar report that I saw... I'm going to dig a little more to see if there has been any more info on this problem.
Here's a quote from a post in May of 2006 in the following thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2245972
Glad to know others are having the same issue - I have a twin pair of 23" ACDs, I run a lot of FCP and the windows of the app are getting burnt into the screens after just a few minutes use (strangely my left screen suffers from the problem far worse than the right). The burn usually 'heals' after a few minutes but if I display a peak-white frame it remains visible for hours. Awful trying to do critical work in Photoshop with these smears and shadows all over the screen - it's like staring at a lightbulb and blinking!
I love Apple kit, but everything I've bought so far has struggled to last a year before being swapped out, recalled, or serviced. My iBook had the logic-board replaced, I've had it back a month and now the backlight on the LCD is starting to flicker!!

This matches my current experience perfectly, particularly the note about the left side being worse.

HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
Do I have to buy a new scanner? It seems so close to working correctly.
I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
Thanks

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

I just purchased Export PDF to Excel and it does not export anything usable. Your terminology should not be "export" but paste image, which is of no value. Please cancel my account and refund my money. What a shame you would advertise this as a product.

Reduce FILE size, but not IMAGE size

pardon the blasphemy, but on windows, Paint lets you "stretch" an image to 99%, which reduces the size of the image practically not at all but reduces the file size big time, you know like a 600kb file reduced to 99% the size of the originals ends up at 60kb, or whatever, but is only a few pixels smaller in size. How would i do that on my mac? tried the export thing, but if you reduce size a few pixels, you get bigger file size... know what i'm asking?
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I discovered Edit>Constrain>Custom>Crop>Export (give it a size in pixels). Reduces size and file size.

Installed New DVD burner, but it will not burn DVDs

I just installed a new Pioneer DVR-112D DVD burner but when I try to burn a DVD with iDVD 4 it will not burn a DVD. It looks like iDVD 4 will get to stage 4 of the process but it will not finish burning the DVD. Can anyone help me out?
Thank you

If you don't have Tiger, or iDVD 6 or higher, you will need PatchBurn

Creating that blur using my brush my entire image changes too and becomes blurry. Not only that but the area I painted also becomes over exposed. What can I do am I missing something here all I want is to blur a section and not change the rest of the area

Creating that blur using my brush. When I paint the area, which highlights in red, I bring the clarity down to create more of that blur but what ends up happening is that my entire image changes too and becomes blurry. Not only that but the area I painted also becomes over exposed. What can I do am I missing something here all I want is to blur a section and not change the rest of the area I am painted by automatically becoming over exposed. Does anyone else have this problem that can help me?

Do you think I should try to find a cheap mobo to OC my current CPU? How about trying to find one (mobo) used? I fear that my only realistic choice will be to scrap the CPU and eventually buy a new mobo and CPU, but as the CPU was only released just under two years ago I would value being over to overclock it with a cheap enough mobo to last me another year or so.
Who knows what additional problems may be run into by switching mainboards & such. The OS would have to be reinstalled fresh, etc. Money wise, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to invest more into a system that is rather outdated. The small performance gain making the switch to another board using the CPU you have, just doesn't really make much sense, especially if what you have now is completing the tasks asked of it. Save up some money, set it aside for a future build. There are plenty of new platforms in the works.

I am trying to burn a cd from my playlist but after inserting my disc I do not get (burn playlist to disc) from drop down menu

I am trying to burn a cd from my playlist but after inserting my disc I do not get( burn playlist to disc) from drop down menu?

Hollie,
Do things in the following order:
Make the playlist you are going to burn, and open it.
Have the blank CD-R handy.
Use the command File > Burn Playlist to Disc.
When it asks you to insert a blank disc, do so.

I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
Hope this helps.

Hi Buckyball1982,
What version of Android phone are you using?
Do you have a built-in file explorer or any third party File explorer installed on your phone?
If no, then i would recommend you to install a File explorer on your phone and then you would be able to browse files from within the Acrobat DC app on your Android phone.

Where is it possible to batch process the size of images?--I am able to change pixel dimensions in image processor but not image size in inches.

Hi- I need to batch process images for video project. I am able to change the pixel dimensions in the image processor but don't seem to have the option to change image size in inches. Please advise! Thanks

You don't need inches for video (or screen viewing in general). It all goes by pixel count. Inches is for print, nothing else.
But to answer the question, you can run actions in the Image Processor, and this is where you set size in inches. Just bring up Image Size, uncheck "resample image", and specify size. You'll notice resolution changes to reflect the fact that the existing image pixels are now redistributed over the new print size.
But again, screen doesn't care about size or resolution. It only counts pixels.

Image Burn-In (still images)

Does anyone have any info/experience with image burn-in? As in where images are permantly burnt onto TV screens.
I'm doing a training DVD which will have various slideshows like a powerpoint. Some slides may be up for a while, plus there would probably be consistent elements to teach slide, like a logo. I'm just wondering if there would be much risk of causing image burn in? The training sessions would go for 90-120 min.
Thanks
Mike

I googled a bit for burn-in and couldn't find anything definitive on how long it takes for a CRT to burn an image in.
I think it's because it might vary depending on how old the TV is... newer TVs (as well as newer plasmas) are much more resistant to burn-in.
http://www.insideapple.com/articles/purpose_screensavers.php
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/displays/topic2160.html
The one Inside Apple article states "24 hours" but I'm not sure where he gets that number.
So, I'm guessing, but I'd say you wouldn't have to worry about 2 hours of static image. If you were concerned, you could always set a menu's time-out value and have it jump after the time-out has expired to a looping video with a constantly-moving image.

I have a problem with vertical images burned on a cd

I have a problem with vertical images burned on a cd either from a Mac or a stand alone burner. What happens is the images come from the card and are put on the cd. Also note the the camera has been set for the computer to automatically show images vertically when shot that way. The images look good on my Mac, but are horizontal on windows computers. Both XP and Vista. What can be done?

Supported disc not available; i.e. imac not recognizing "burned" dvd

After using iDVD, and not being able to create a finished dvd from an iMovie project with my 1000mz iMac, I had to use my daughter's 1.4 gz iBook, and successfully burned a disc image.
After I burned a DVD from the disc image, it played fine in my home DVD player, and the iBook from which it was created. However, when I put the disc in my iMac, the disc was not readable within DVD player. I kept getting the following message:
"supported disc not available".
Although the name of the DVD appeared on the desktop, DVD player could not play the contents of the DVD. After visiting the Apple store, the "genius" suggested the super drive in the iMac is very sensitive, and after age, may not read all discs.
Now my question:
If i need to upgrade to a MacBook (so I have a faster processor to finish DVD projects), and the finished discs are not readable in my iMac, does this all make any sense? Is there another explanation as to why the finished disc was not readable in my iMac, yet was readable in 6 other Macs at the Apple Store? Could it be the media (I doubt), the super drive in the iMac, or the way in which the disc was burned using the iBook? (I used "Toast" to burn the dvd, not apple's "disc utility" .Any advice is most appreciated.

Is there another explanation as to why the finished disc was not readable in my iMac, yet was readable in 6 other Macs at the Apple Store? Could it be the media (I doubt)
Yes it could be the media....some drives don't like some kinds of media. You might find if you switch, things get better. I like verbatim. Is it a DVD-R or DVD+R? How old is your iMac?
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia
the super drive in the iMac
Yes it could be that too. Could even be a dirty/dusty lens in the iMac. If it's not working now, I'd try a CD/DVD lens cleaning disk. Some users don't like these and think they can damage things, but not me. But use at your own risk.
or the way in which the disc was burned using the iBook?
Since it worked well in many other players, it sounds like you've got a pretty good burn. But I said pretty good. You can get better burns if you burn at slower speeds - I use Toast at 1X when I want the "best" burn. I doubt Toast is the problem though, just maybe the speed of the burn.
DVD compatibility is still not where it should be for home computers, Macs or PCs.
