Screen darker towards the bottom.

Apple put in a new hard disk in my iMac. The bottom of my screen is darker than the top and how can I fix this?

Take it back, however remember your machine is close to 7 years old so it may be time to just get a new machine

I have iphoto11 but do not have the full screen icon at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. where is it?

I am using iphoto11 in OS lion but do not have the full screen icon at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. where is it?

Shift - command - f is the short cut to go to full screen - esc will return from Full screen to normal
as far as to where the commands are - I am (and everyone her is) a user just like yourself - we can (sometimes) help with how to use iPhoto - we can not explain why Apple makes decisions nor can we make or affect any changes

In a playlist, when I select a song toward the bottom it always plays a songe one or two down the list - not the one I selected

In the "Purchased Songs" playlist on the iPhone, when I select a song toward the bottom of the list, a song one or two down the list is actually being played. It's like something got the list index off.
Any help?

I'm in the same boat...so far no one has helped here

Have you tried a soft-reset : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot.
If that doesn't work : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Why does the light go dark at the bottom of my screen

Why is the bottom of my screen suddenly darker than the main part of the screen?

Sounds broken. The brightness should be uniform. Get Apple to fix it.

Why is the left side of my iMac screen darker than the other, and why does the display randomly go black?

My family has a late 2010 27" Imac. A few months ago, we noticed that the left side of the screen was somewhat darker than the right. As time went on, it continued to get worse and worse. When you turn the computer off for an hour or so, it helps the display out somewhat, but it eventually goes back to being darker on the left. About two months ago, the display started to go completely black. When the screen is black, everything still runs. My itunes library will still play, everything is functioning even though the screen is out. It has started to become more frequent. It is extremely annoying, almost unbearable. Since the one year warranty went out in November, what are we supposed to do about this?

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. It's a known issue with 27" iMacs and you might be eligible for replacement. I had mine replaced shortly after buying it. BTW, AppleCare's extended warranty is the cheapest insurance policy one can have for desktop machines. Too bad you missed the deadline.

Screen Darker In The Middle

I have noticed that the screen is much darker in the middle of the screen, vertically in a column. This was improved when i booted to the CD. Now on a fresh install and it looks better but doesnt seem to be completely fixed. I am going to wait and let the screen heat up. Also is there any fix for the high pitched noise yet?

hmm...I just received mine literally 20 minutes ago, and my screen is considerably darker on the right side (especially along the right edge). And I have this backlighting leaking on the upper right corner. I am going to wait a day and see if that clears anything. If not, it's going back....sigh...

My keyboard keeps popping up in the middle of my screen instead of the bottom u keyboard keeps popping up in the middle of my screen instead of the bottom. How can I get back to appear at the bottom of my screen?

My keyboard keeps popping up in he middle of my screen instead of at the bottom. How can I fix this?

Press and hold the 'keyboard' key at the bottom right of the keyboard and after a second or so you should get a popup - slide your finger up to 'Dock' on that popup and remove your finger from the screen and the keyboard should move back to the bottom of the screen.
You can also turn off the ability to undock and split the keyboard into two halves via Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard 'off'

Hello there, ibreathfootball.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with video on your Mac:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

My Screen Expands off the bottom

Sounds weird, I know, but when I slide to unlock, the regular home screen displays properly for a moment and then expands slightly at the bottom, putting the text under the 4 main icons partially off the screen. And when I press the icon for Safari (and maybe others), it shrinks to the proper size, brings up the new app and then expands off the bottom again. What is this all about?

You have the Zoom accessibility feature turned on.
Double-tap using three fingers to un-zoom, and then go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
If you have trouble with that, connect to iTunes and click the "Configure Universal Access..." button in the Summary pane and unselect Zoom there.

Top 1/3 of screen darker then the rest.. 23" HD

A few weeks ago the top 1/3 of screen got darker then the rest.. It seemed to go in and out from 100% to dark for about a week and now it is just darker. The monitor is still usable but it gives me a head ache after a while of working.
Can this be repaired by apple? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks and happy holidays....

Happened to me and I thought it also was the upper cfl tube, it got progressively darker by the week. Instead of changing the cfl tube, I swapped the inverter board from an exact model that was used for parts. I figured that an inverter change was much easier to do and it was and the problem was solved, works like new. Sometimes it is not always the tubes that go bad, the inverter board is divided into 2 sections, one for the lower tube and one for the upper one that supply the tubes the voltage. If voltage is weak, so are the tubes. If the power button on the monitor flashes it is almost a sure sign of inverter problem. Tubes and inverter are really not that difficult to change, just the right size allen keys and a philips screwdriver and a little patience. Check out moniserv.com for schematics and parts. They also have some very useful suggestions.

Why does my screen scroll to the bottom automatically after I've entered a new website on a new tab?

When I'm on a website and click onto information or another site from this open window, a new tab is opened with the new info or website. However, while waiting for that site to load in the new tab, the site is automatically scrolled to the bottom before I can even read through it. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hi thiercito
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It sounds like you have a bad display back light and need to contact your Local Apple Service Provider or Apple Store. > http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/

20" iMac screen gets very light at the bottom.

I just got a new 20" iMac and the screen appears to get lighter and washed out towards the bottom half of the screen. So bad that for example in the itunes library it is supposed to alternate from blue to white, but at the bottom of the screen it looks completely white. Is my screen defective or is this a common thing?

Both. My 20" iMac at work has the same problem. It is common on the ALU 20" iMacs and yes I would say it's defective. Apple may not agree though.

Tap-drag the keyboard icon (at the bottom left of the keyboard) towards the bottom of the screen.
Or you can disable the split keyboard under Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off
