Not Liking The Yellow Tinted Screen

I'm kind of disappointed that Apple decided to put a cheaper screen in the new phones. Hopefully I'm wrong and that it's not a screen and can be fixed through an update or something, or I can return this phone in a month or so and they'll have the newer shipment of phones with old iPhone lighting on the screens. I'm currently doing a restore on my phone to see if it fixes the lighting at all, because I read somewhere that a restore makes it less yellow tint-ish. Also not liking the 1 bar I'm getting at my house with 3G on, not cool.
Now I got a question. I don't know much about MobileMe but I don't have it. I also don't know anything about Push and if it has anything to do with MobileMe. I have 2 Gmail accounts loaded on my iPhone, should I keep Push on? And does it have any effect on battery usage with it on?

This is the partial breakdown:
1st Gen iPhone had a white point of 8300K;
iPhone 3G has white point between 6800K - 7300K by design, intentional.
Native white point for a Mac monitor is 6500K (D65)
Mac monitors are usually at Gamma 1.8 (subtly blu-ish IMO), and PC monitors are at Gamma 2.2 (slightly fluorescent yellowish)
What is the Gamma of the screen of the 3G iPhone?
Because if a future adjustment is available to screen settings of 3G iPhone, then I would try to set it to 6500K and a Gamma of 1.8 to most nearly emulate a Mac monitor.
So I wonder if Apple changed to a yellowish 2.2 Gamma, to slightly cater to the larger PC user base , who is used to seeing screens at Gamma 2.2, with its inherent yellowness?
Either way, I don't think I'll have a problem with new screen, cuz I got an idea of why it was chosen.

2010 21.5 iMac anyone get one not yellow tinted

I made the mistake of looking at the forum before picking up the base 21.5 iMac and all i see is the yellow tint issue
Then i googled and it looks like a real issue impacting most 21.5 iMacs. . . .seriously ?
I realize this is the er of issues but it seems larger than that
So any good 2010's out therE ?
Tia

I had the 21.5" iMac for a couple of weeks. Decided I really wanted the 27" so back the 21.5" went.
Mine had a very yellowish tint in the bottom-right corner (4th quadrant) that radiates to the center of the display. It was so bad and extremely annoying when working with photos. My observation is from a person who's an avid DSLR photographer. It's less annoying when looking at the browser (surfing the Web). Depending on your use, you may or may not overlook this issue if you have it on yours. YMMV.
Do realize that my experience is in no way, shape, or form representative of all 21.5" iMacs. Just my personal experience with the one I had. BTW, it was ordered from the Apple online store.

Time Capsule will not reset - just flashes yellow

I have a 2 TB Time Capsule that will not reset - it just flashes yellow.
I have tried all the various reset options, left the unit uplugged overnight and all I get is a blinking yellow light.
Via airport the only option that I see is to set up a wireless network, there is no configuration window for the time capsule. I am not using this a wireless device, I have a comcast modem for that. It is being used for backup only.
When I select time machine under system settings, I can see the drive. I can select it but it will not accept the password. I have verified that I am using the correct password from the keychains utility.
I don't know if this is related, but I named the capsule TMBackUp and it shows that name in disk selection list, but when I select to use it for backups and it asks for the password (which does not work) it says, Enter your password for the server "Time Capsule d629db" so that Time Machine can access it. I don't know if the name differenc is even relevant, but thought I should mention it.
I really suspect that it has something to do with the ip address. Up until recently I have had ip addresses that were similar to 192.x.x.x, now I have ip addresses that are similar to 10.0.0.x. I just resolved an issue that this ip change was causing with two tivo units. So I assume the issue with the time capsule is something similar. My problem is that I see no interface with the time capsule to check the ip address that it has been assigned.
I am willing to wipe everything to start over, I just can't figure out how to get there.
I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer.
Thank you.

I have a 2 TB Time Capsule that will not reset - it just flashes yellow.
The Time Capsule will flash amber when it has been reset. This is normal. A reset takes the Time Capsule back to its original factory default settings.
This is what you have done.
You will need to set up the Time Capsule again just like you did when you originally installed it on your network.
You can use the same name for the Time Capsule and passwords that you used previously, if you wish.
You do not need to "wipe" the Time Capsule hard drive. Your backups will continue from their previous point once you have the Time Capsule reconfigured to operate on your network.

What's Wrong? My iPad Lost it's Yellow Tint!

My new iPad never really had a yellow tint. The display, though, was obviously warmer in tone than my iPad 2, and the warmth was across the entire display, not just part of it.
Space around text was, in particular, whiter on the iPad 2, and the text seemed to be darker - more contrasty. I had to call my wife over to take a look and she confirmed what I was seeing, when the two iPads were side-by-side.
As others have noted, if the two iPads were not compared side-by-side, the new one looked fine. Put them together, and the difference was very apparent.
However, having read from several posters that it's an issue with glue, I decided not to panic. Last night, I spent a few hours with the new iPad on the Web, reading people's comments, and then browsing the topic of color - how we see, Edwin Land's ideas about color perception being based on context, etc. It made for interesting, if not hard-going reading.
Just before I went to bed, I did a last comparison check. I discoverd, to my amazement, that my new iPad's display had lost most of its warm tint over the past few hours. As far as I can tell, it's now totally gone. When I compare it to my iPad 2, the new iPad still looks warmer, but only in comparison.
Now the iPad 2 has a bluish cast to my eyes, especially when I'm looking at a page with black text and white space - the white is blue. With photos, the difference is down to a slight saturation gain with the new iPad. And the retina display increases sharpness just enough to make some photographs, along with their increased saturation, appear to be 3D.
I have a feeling this problem of tint/color will resolve itself for most people, one way or the other. For those who can relax for a few days, they might find, as I did, that the yellow will disappear. Or they might trade in their iPads, but there's no guarantee, if they get an iPad fresh off the boat, that it won't have the same problem, at least for a few days.

That's good to hear that the "Yellow tint" has sorted it self out.
Maybe the "Heat" issues that that people have with the batteries will sort it self out after a few discharge - recharge cycles.

Why haven't we heard anything from apple in regard to the yellow tint screens till now?

It is really sad & frustrating from Apple to get manufacturers who do not produce quality work like the others. It really more sad when I pay more than 800$ with a one year contract & do not recieve the correct handset.
After lots of arguing & fighting with customer care in UAE, all I was able to get is a third replacement however same issue & they tell you most of our phones are like this for the black.
What a shame Appple, am quite sad & learned my lesson, I will not rush to buy any of your products anymore, let it take its time then If you have no issues I might think about buying.
Now what troubles me the most is that I could not find any announcment from Apple on this though there are so many users with such issue. What a shame!!!!!!!
People out there, any news about this. What can we do.

wissam, just letting u know that my 3 days old black iphone 4s has a yellow tint and the serial number starts with DNQ, I am very upset with this issue and will never get any apple product till all the problems are fixed

Brand new, white Verizon iPhone4, has a yellow tinted screen.

I just bought a brand new Verizon (white) iPhone and noticed the color of the screen had a warmer (yellowish) tint to it, comparing it my iPod4 which has a cooler (bluish) tint. I then compared it to a friend's AT&T iPhone4 and noticed he had the cooler tint to it as well. We both had the brightness turned all the way up.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I really like the bluish look a lot more because the whites look more like whites.
I'm wondering if maybe my iPhone was color calibrated incorrectly or if this was done intentionally.

Hi
How did it go with Apple customer care? Just wondering because I exchanged my white Verizon iPhone and I see it exactly the same yellowish tint on the screen and compared it to all the black iPhones they had at the store, so I'm just wondering if Apple care was able to do anything??
Thanks
I haven't called Apple's customer care service but instead brought my iPhone into an official Apple retail store. The employee has never been approached about the yellow tint yet, and assured me there was nothing wrong with it. He also couldn't give me an answer I was looking for either; if it was Apple's intention or not. He himself had a brand new Verizon white iPhone and we compared ours and they both looked the same. I showed him my friends AT&T black iPhone and set it next to mine but he really didn't notice the difference. My friend also had a protective screen over it and the employee said maybe the blue tint I was seeing was from the plastic (which I know is not the cause).
I brought it to Verizon's store and the employee there said he didn't see any real problem with it and since Apple didn't send them a notice about a recall on their iPhone's, there was nothing they could do about it.
So I thought, this is must be what they are doing for all their new iPhone's. Every new one I see, it's tinted yellow. Although when I was in the Apple store and compared it to one of the new iPad2's displays, the iPad had a blue tinted screen.
The mystery over the yellow screen continues!
[However, I've been getting used to the yellow screen and I don't even notice it anymore.]

New 3G - yellow-tinted screen...

My wife and I just bought two new 3G's (after having owned the original iPhone for 8 months). The first thing I noticed after powering my 16GB 3G up was a very noticeable yellow-tint on the display. After searching the internet I realized that this was a common issue- I even came across Apple's statement that the temperature change in the display was intended. However, my wife's 16GB 3G does not have any hint of yellow... and resembles the temperature of our old iPhone's (blue-tinted). What gives?!

Just make sure you upgrade to the latest firmware... there was upgrade shortly after the release of the 3G that corrected the problem. If this doesn't work... Hi Ho Hi Ho... I'ts back the Apple store you go!

Yellow tint back after 2.01 update

I just updated my 3G iPhone with firmware ver 2.01 and noticed that the yellow tint that many users experienced with the initial 2.0 firmware version, is back.

you didn't read my post at all.
You are not comparing the 5A37 firmware to 2.01, you are comparing the older iphone to the newer one, which has been designed with a warmer screen, so your assertation that the tint is "back" after 2.0.1 is flawed. In fact, the 3G screens do vary from phone to phone, so it is scientifically impossible to determine that 2.0.1 reverted the phone to a warmer color.

I need to know the reason Why Macbook Pro Mid 2012 have yellow tint screen?

I am confusing about the reason Why Macbook Pro screen have yellow tint color?
There are few reason that I got from some apple shop saleman(In Thai) and someone in discussion experience.
First (1), The reason is IPS or PSL Technology made the screen to be yellow tint color.
Second (2), Someone told me, It is depend on production lot some lot don't have yellow tint screen but, some lot have yellow tint screen.
Third (3), Someone told me, It is normally case of Macbook Pro Mid 2012. Yellow tint screen will be recovering when using it long time.
(In the third, I'm not believe. Because, My iPhone 4s got a Yellow tint screen too. And, I used it for 7 months. The screen was the same at 7 month ago)
I need to know that what is true and what is false.
I just confuse Plz answer to me.
And, ...
Now, I am deciding to buy Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13 ". I need to know the surely reason. Why Macbook Pro have a Yellow tint Screen?
If it is not normal case when I found a Yellow Tint Screen. I will reject that machine.
so that, I used the knowledgeto select the best Macbook Pro for me.
Plz answer to me, Plz Help me ^^
Thank you

Hi, carl wolf
Thank you for your answer.
You mean the below reason is hoax or incorrect or fake right?
First (1), The reason is IPS or PSL Technology made the screen to be yellow tint color.
Second (2), Someone told me, It is depend on production lot some lot don't have yellow tint screen but, some lot have yellow tint screen.
Third (3), Someone told me, It is normally case of Macbook Pro Mid 2012. Yellow tint screen will be recovering when using it long time.
Sorry for more question. I fear saleman lie me when I go to buy.
Thank you very much. ^^

Yellow tint! the 3rd Screen of my iMac 27, it's getting worse and worse...

Hi everyone not sure if there is anything more i could do with this, I have a 2010-13 week iMac, it came with a 'bearable' yellow tint problem from the beginning, after a hard drive failure i had to send my iMac back to Apple care, i was hoping the screen problem had been solved so I asked them to replace my screen as well, it came back with a worse panel showed much larger area of yellow tint...
Then I decided to wait for a few months until a week ago before my holiday i called for another exchange, was hoping for a perfect screen after my holiday, now holiday is over and iMac is back, just right after I pressed the power button, the start up screen with apple logo clearly tells me that i have got a even more disgusting panel - the worst of all i have to say, a new uneven shadow line on the bottom plus the usual yellower tint spreads over the middle of the screen, oh yes, they decided to make it even worse, a big dead spot as well in the corner ....
after a few hours, when i was editing a photo in Aperture, I have discovered something even more disturbing, from right edge of the screen inwards there is around 8cm wide vertical band shows obvious brighter tone than the rest of screen...
I do a lot of black & white photography plus a lot 3D graphic work, for a while I had tried to live with the yellow issue until it got really frustrating - now i have to once again arrange an exchange as this one is just unbearable!
Is this really Apple? Hard drive failed after a year and this is the 3rd screen of the iMac, and it just gets worse...
I wonder if there's anyone who had the luck to get the yellow screen replaced by a decent one?

Are you talking about a mid-2011 iMac or a 2010 iMac?
As it seems, the issue of color inconsistency of the iMac display is far from solved. Yellow tint, uneven brightness, light-leaks are very easily found even of newer models. I have a two-week-old mid-2011 27-inch iMac that I tried to replace for a new one because of yellow tint issue. It turned out that the replacement iMac had a worse screen... So I kept the first one. Not sure if the right thing to do is just get the screen replaced. It seems users have done it with no success...
So, I guess these problems are structural on the iMac line. They seem very much to be omnipresent. And I don't see Apple offering a genuine/trustworthy solution through its in-warranty support.

Yellow Tint issue

I know this isn't the first thread on the yellow tint issue, but I've had some strange experiences that need to be addressed.
http://lh5.ggpht.com/TLglqt0-RdM/SVlOWBinyjI/AAAAAAAAArM/ZjMXtH60po/s640/P10306192.JPG
See, when I first started using this iPhone (bought it from a friend) it seemed fine. Then moments upon boot, I started noticing this feint flickering, each time it flickered (as it still does) the screen would be "brighter" but not by the normal brightness settings... and it had a yellow tint to it compared side-by-side of my normal other iPhone.
So I explored more, and since they have both already been opened before, I reopened them and tested a theory. If this iPhone has a yellow screen, maybe the screen needs replacing. I take them both apart, swap the screens, and voila!...... still Yellow?! Hmm, so the screens not the problem...
Now I'm even more puzzled, because I'll just be staring at the flickering, so faintly but distinguishable. And if I catch the right moment for a split second it flashes totally normal, then back... its so brief, but does this mean theres software fix potential in this?
I know nothing about what to do next. Apple, the Community, someone point me in the right direction. Obviously the reason I seek help is because these iPhones have been opened before, but only to switch screens and never deeper. Does this honestly count as a warrant breach or can this be considered justifiable to replace a cracked screen on your own?
Thanks for your help!

You are absolutely right there is a difference and I have not read the small print. I'd put money on it tho. That said you may be lucky in that they'll help you even if you have defaced it.
You should find what you need [here|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_3G_Important_Product_InformationGuide.pdf].

Yellow tint; How to export

Hi I have two very important questions,
1. When I open a picture with white background in Photoshop, Picasa, Windwos Viewer, or online, the background is white. When I open it in lightroom, it's got a yellow tint, like a ight sepia effect, and some bloom or other effects seem to be applied to the image. While this is certainly a nice effect, I would like to know how to turn this on/off.
2. When I right click a picture and click export, no post-processing (everything I did under "Develop") is saved along with the image, I only get the original picture. I know that LR works with virtual copys/Catalogs and only saves metadata thus not actually editing my original. But still how do I apply the changes I made in LR? I even tried exporting a catalog and a web slideshow, but always only the original picture gets exported. I shoot in RAW (CR2) format.
Please help me!

Thank you Jao vDL, that was indeed the problem!
By the way I have a Samsung monitor. I searched the internet and it seems many people have problems regarding this
wit their monitor drivers.
Samsung-1
I just used the AdobeSRGB .icm instead.

My 2013 15" retina macbook pro screen has a yellow tint, should i ask for a replacement?

So yesterday i got my retina macbook pro 15 " and right away i noticed my worst fear ( since i previously had read some similar stories) my screen has a noticeable yellow tint specially on white tones, websites have a "newspaper look " to them, since i bought this computer because im starting web design in university in a couple of months i would say i'm pretty much ******, people say i shoud just calibrate it, but most people dont calibrate their screen, so it would be a mess, my work would look good on my computer but ****** on other's people computer
I'm very surprised because i thought this issue only affected the initial batch of retina macbook pros, but i checked my serial online and my computer was made in January 2013 so its quite new, the panel is a Samsung "LSN154YL01001.
I have read that usually LG panels don't suffer as much from the yellow tint but they suffered from Image retention, is it stil like this? what do you think i should do should i keep this computer with the samsung screen or get apple to give me a new one hopefully with a LG panel or at least a samsung without yellow tint

Actually MOST People that work in all parts of the Design field DO Calibrate their screens. It is the only way to make sure what you are looking at on your computer screen will be the same on other design professionals screens and to the general public.
Wherever you got the notion that Design professionals and or design schools of all types don't calibrate their screens is completely incorrect.
So it is up to you whether you calibrate or not and or to return that Retina for one that has a better color balanced screen from the start. Along with that the new unit you get may have other problems as the Retina models are plagued with random problems. The screens only be one of them.

No monitor profile available. Yellow tint after import

Hello. I have bough last week a new Toshiba notebook which has Windows 8.1 preinstalled on it.
I have noticed a problem that seems other came also on the same issue. When i watch images on a non profile managed software, the images look fine. Once i import them on Lightroom or Photoshop, the images get a yellow tint.
The problem and a possible solution is also described here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1164320 . This is setting the sRGB as a monitor profile. I know this is not a great solution, but surely better than what i see on my monitor. In any way, this unfortunately this did not work for me.
This is what i mean with the yellow tint (left Lightroom, right Irfan)
Today i tried following:
Step 1
The image is in RAW format. I import it in Lightroom and gets that yellow tint i described.
I export it with sRGB in jpg format. The jpg file has still that yellow tint. Please note here, that others that report similar problems, they mention that after the export they image looks again fine.
Step 2
I open the RAW image with Irfan (not color managed) and save it as jpg. The image is saved "correctly", as you see on the right side of the image above.
Step 3
I import the exported jpeg that was created with Irfan and import it to Lightroom.
The yellow Tint now does not appear on the imported JPEG.
One more tip i can give is: When i do a Soft proofing on Lightroom and choose sRGB i still see that yellow tint.
What exactly is happening ? I try to identify the problem. Why i see just raw images with this yellow tint, no matter the profile i set for my monitor and no matter the proofing options on lightroom.
I don't want to spend 100+ euro for a calibration device and not being able to use the profiles.
Any suggestions for further testing ?

First - Irfanview needs to be at least IV 4.35 and needs to have the LCMS.DLL plug-in installed as well as having the Color Management enabled so that you have some chance of your Photoshop and IrfanView versions of an image matching:
Alright we have the first conflict here.
I have the latest IrfanView version (4.37) , i saw that the Lcms.dll exists in the plugin list, and i have set the settings as suggested.
Furthermore at the moment i have sRGB as my default monitor profile. Still this is how i see things.
IrfanView and Photoshop have the same difference as before. Yes i have rerasted IrfanView on every change. I actually freshly installed also the latest irfanView version with its plugin.

About this
As you can see the Adobe default processing with the Adobe Standard profile, at top left, is a little greenish. This is compared to the default camera processing as viewed in the camera-embedded preview jpg from the CR2 at the bottom right which a white frame around it.
When i open the raw image on LR, i have (from what i can see on my monitor) the same results as your Adobe default processing (Top left) . What confused me on your image above is bottom left image "Adobe processing - Camera standard". What is with Adobe processing meant here? The camera profile? If yes then how can we have Adobe camera profil but also camera standart ? If you mean the process LR provides, mine is set on 2012. But no adobe available for selection. I do not know if this is meant though.
Here is my comparison between Adobe Standart Profile and Camera Standard.
LR: Adobe Profile vs Canon Standart Profile
One more comparison is of the files you made available including the IranView jpg you supplied as compared to the Canon JPG preview that I extracted from the CR2 file:
What you can see is that the CR2 as viewed in LR and LR's exported JPG of that CR2 look about the same (top and bottom left), and the IrfanView and Canon-JPG versions of the CR2 look the same (top and bottom right). This is your IV version of the JPG, not something I made, but I expect IV has just extracted the camera-embedded fullsize preview JPG from the CR2 file just like I did using a different tool, so they look the same, but it is possible your IV is using a Canon-specific plug-in that uses the Canon-supplied SDK library DLLs that can also duplicate Canon processing. I only have the Formats.dll and the CRW.dll but not all the extra SDK DLLs so I expect my IV is only extracting the camera-embedded preview JPG.
Yes i can confirm that also on my environment. The exported CR2 from LR matches the exported JPG as also there is a match between IrfanView CR2 with the Camera standard profile export. Unfortunately i cannot confirm if IrfanView uses a sort of Canon-plugin to make the RAWS rendered automatically with the Canon standard profile.
And if you want your Adobe treatment of CR2 files to look much more similar to your camera's treatment, then use the Camera Standard profile in Lightroom and the PS ACR plug-in.
Question on this. Should i always put a Camera Standart profile on all my images after importing them on LR ?
Also please, let me know what you meant with Adobe Processing. I searched on the web with "Adobe Processing lightroom" , but i could not understand what is meant.
If using the Camera Standard profile doesn't make things look almost the same, then please post a side-by-side of LR's view of the CR2 and IrfanView's JPG extracted from the CR2--what you've linked to, just above.
Here is a comparison between an exported JPG from Lightrom with camera profile (Right) compared to an exported JPG with IrfanView from the RAW (left). As mentioned before the images look identical, with the one exported from LR with Camera profile being a bit more vibrant. But not much of a difference.
IrfanView vs Camera Profile export
So in the end it seems you see also that green-yellowish cast on the RAW image. From what i see on the screenshots you made.
The question now is why i do not see RAW the same as Adobe software ? Could i do this test with an other viewer?
To summerize from my side as well. A monitor calibration is surely good to do. On the other side the cast i see on the RAW in this case has not to do with the profile but rather with Adone profile and the way this image was captured.
PS. I must admit that is one of the best on line support i have ever seen. Thumbs up ssprengel !

Not just a yellow tint!
