Screen appears to have yellow tint

I'm just setting up a 15" MacBook Pro 2.4 which I'm migrating to from a 15" PB G4 1.67. I have the 2 machines running side by side at the moment. When I first started the MBP the screen already seemed a little strange but I simply thought that it unfamiliarity, as i have found before when changing machines. But as I progressed and set up the same screen saver configuration etc on the MBP, it is SIGNIFICANTLY yellow compared to the PB. I tried going to Prefs> Hardware> Displays and doing a custom adjustment to remove some yellow but it seems to just make it muddy, as though the yellow is physical colour in the screen, rather than an RGB in-screen tint. The PB screen, by comparison, is clear and neutral.
Is this a reason to talk to Apple about it for service or am I being paranoid and missing some settings?

The are owners who feel the current MBP with their LED display do have a yellow hue to them. However, I've not noticed much of a difference when comparing it to my previous MBP (the previous C2D model) as well as my Dell 24" display. All display have been recalibrated with a gamma value of 2.2 rather than the default 1.8 which may negate what you're seeing.
Be aware that your PB might be skewing what you see as it's different colour gamut and white point might throw you off. But yes, you're not the first to feel this way.

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 had to do ALL of the above in sequence, but before rebooting, I turned WiFi OFF.
When I rebooted, I turned WiFi ON. I made sure that Location Services was ON for the Apple Store ( the one with the shopping cart).
Then I went into the App Store.
I did that about 3 times then voilà! The App Store appeared again.
To summarize:
- Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead.
- Try App Store. If it doesn't work, continue with below.
- Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off
- Close all apps in the Task Bar.
- Turn WiFi OFF.
- Reboot.
- Turn WiFi ON.
- Make sure Location Services is ON for the Apple Store.
- Turn Date and Time to Set Automatically ON.
- Try App Store.
Repeat the above if necessary. Thanks Demo, Ocean20 and Diavonex.
It worked!

IMac screen appears to have smudges under the glass. They are not on the surface and it doesn't matter what wallpaper is in place.

iMac screen appears to have smudges under the glass along the top of the screen. They are not on the surface and it doesn't matter what wallpaper is in place. Anyone else had this happen?

The " glass" front of your iMac is really not glass, at all, but an optically clear polycarbonite (plastic) that a black border painted or possibly "printed" on the backside (to hide the strong magnets that hold this cover on) that has a metal frame glued to the back to which this frame is held in place with very strong magnets.
You use one or two small suction cups or a suction cup from a windshield mounted mobile GPS mount or purchase a small commercial glass cup, that is used to handle bare glass, to get the polycarbonite frame off.
The reason I mention the material is polycarbonite is that you should NOT be using ANY type of retail/commercial window glass cleaners on this front glass or on the LCD screen.
Polycarbonite easily scratches and clouds when using ANY conventional glass cleaning solutions.
You need to use a lint-free, microfiber style cloth dampened in warm water (completely wring the water out of the microfiber cloth to the point cloth is just warm and damp with NO water dripping at all from the cloth) and use this to get the screen and glass don't screen clean.

Why some ipad 2 have yellow tinted screen? Can Apple give us an explanation?

It's so obvious.
Every ipad2 showed to us in the stores has cool screen.
Yet what we got have warm ones with yellow tint.
This also happens on iphone 4 and 4s.
Is it quality issues or something else.
Apple owe us an explanation.

Seeing as how Apple will have to answer your question, instead of posting it here on the user to user forum you really should post on it on the Apple feedback site,

My screen has lines and yellow tint and at start up left third is white, right 2/3 is black

My screen has developed lines and at start up, the left third is White, the right 2/3 is black. Then it works again. Then it starts a loud noise like it's burning a DVD. Then it works again.

There is a known problem with a yellow tint on i7s. I suggest you call Apple Care and tell them about it, it should still be under warranty.

My ipod 4th generation has been uncharged for almost 2 months...I plugged it in the charger and now a black screen appears with a yellow horizontal line at the top and 4 yellowish greenish spots at the corners of the screen.Battery trouble?

So the ipod has been working working fine. I left it for almost 2 months and when i charge it again this is what i see!! It has not been dropped!! The Ipod still works ...when i connect it to itunes it responds normally. Also the ipod produces the charging sound and sounds for notifications!! i tried guessing where "slide to unlock" is so that maybe the touch screen still responds but yet it was useless!! what might be the problem!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Screen image getting a yellow tint after being on ~2 hours.

My display is getting a yellow tint to it. It seems to come up after I've been using the display for a while. If I go into the display preferences and change the colour profile I can get it looking normal for a while by increasing the blue, but then it will slowly continue to get yellow.

I think a pram reset will help http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
By the way, dont regret not getting a powerbook, there displays are much more prone to problems. Not to mention the worse battery life and warping aluminum due to overheating etc.. Bah im so glad i got an iBook

My actual (brand new) iPad screen appears to have bubbles after on it after I removed a screen protector. HELP

Can someone help:
I bought a new iPad from the Apple Store in Danbury CT the day before yesterday (it's a Verizon iPad). I bought a screen protector for it today and after deciding to remove it, was left with bubbles on the actual screen itself.
Any thoughts.....Thanks.

I just really find it hard to believe that the screen itself has bubbles in to, but we can't see the device. Why don't you take it to an Apple Store and have a genius look at it? Or take it back to Verizon, since they put the screen protector on it.
Is the touch screen responsive ... It works OK?

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.

Yellow Tint Macbook Pro After Boot Up Screen(Apple Logo with White Background)

Hi guys
I have just recieved my macbook pro 13" 2012 base model, the screen is yellowish when compared to other macbook pros.
The strange issue is that I notice when I power it on, the screen is normal(white is white) at the boot up screen(white background with apple logo in the middle). But the screen will turn yellowish at that screen right before it finishes booting up(right before the screen logs in), like it has loaded a display profile. But thats is not the case though because my display profile is at default like others.
So the screen turns yellowish right before it finishes booting up and comes to my desktop screen.
Any suggestions please? this is my first mac

Hi Colloc
I bought my macbook from the apple online store.
I found out that every macbook pro screen changes colour before the booting up process completes. I did a comparison with another macbook pro (same model) and it turned out like that too. but the thing is, during usage, it can clearly be seen that my screen has a stronger yellow tint compared to the other one.
I returned my macbook and got a refund for now. I really want one but not sure if I should try buying one again.
I sure yours is normal

Yellow Tint. Help!

I'm a pro-photog who just swapped to iMac. The screen appears to have a serious yellow tint. Any advice on how to fix this? When I edit images on my PC, they are totally accurate, color wise. I know this bc I've been ordering prints for 3 years based on the editing done on that computer. This is driving me crazy. Can anyone help? Keep in mind...I'm brand new to Mac, so detailed steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Are you using any software/hardware to calibrate the display on your PC? Have you verified that your iMac is set to the default display profile? To do so, open the System Preferences in the dock or by pulling down the Apple menu in the upper left corner and selecting System Preferences. Click on the Display preferences, and then select the Color tab. The default display profile should be listed as 'iMac'. If you see anything else then at some point you or someone else selected a different profile or calibrated the display.
When you open a mail window, or any other window, do the white areas also appear yellow, or is the issue only affecting the images you've previously worked with on your PC? What happens if you import images directly from your camera without doing any prior editing on your PC? I am trying to understand whether there is an issue with the iMac itself, or calibration diferences between your PC and the iMac.
You can perform a basic display calibration by clicking on the Calibrate button shown in the screenshot above. It will walk you through all of the steps. It would be helpful to see whether creating a custom display profile helps resolve your issue.

Mac screen has white and yellow bars on start up but no icons?

I have a 27" Mac Desk Top computer recently upgraded to Yosimite.
On starting up the screen appears white with yellow columns but no icons or dock appears?
Can I fix this myself?

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
Safe Mode - Mavericks
You can also try resetting the PRAM.
