Screen flashes on macbook pro

I'm getting a flash on my screen when I go from regular to full screen and vise versa, also at times in IPhoto the is a thin horizontal line of distortion across the screen, Has anyone else experienced anything at unusual with the proformance of their Pro 15" retna screen?

Hey TxRed,
I would go over all the steps in this document:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
It will cover troubleshooting the video issues you're experiencing, and I'd make sure to go all the way to the end if necessary.
Have a good one,

Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables.

Either buy the $99 Apple TV or
Connect the MBpro to the TV with a HDMI cable.

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15".

I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15". It doesn't resemble dead pixels I've encountered in the past (it is only visible behind a white or brightly colored background), and I'm positive it isn't sitting on the surface. The computer is only a year and a half old and my software is up to date.

Hi austinbread,
It is hard to tell exactly what your issue with the MacBook Pro’s display is, but it is possible that there is a pixel anomaly. See this article for further information -

Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Screen defect on MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro that appears to have a screen defect, as shown by the image below. How can I have this fixed? If I have to go to the Apple store, will they still repair this screen, considering the MacBook Pro is over five years old (early 2008)?

See my reply to you in that other thread.
Good Luck.

Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help

Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!

Hi ..
Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and has a brightness flicker every few seconds since june 2013 upgrade of airport utility.

The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and a flicker every few seconds this happened after this weeks Airport Utility 6.3 upgrade.

Hi John,
I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.

Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro.

Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro. Any help? Thanks!

I'm surprised that Apple would attempt such a "hack" design... Switching graphics adapters mid-stream is no small task, and I can't imagine that they could ever make it work seamlessly.
Keep in mind that the nature of the complex GPU beast is that graphics hardware doesn't all work the same (or right) and application software has to make decisions about what to do and what not to do, and even when to invoke certain workarounds - or it would never be possible to run on multiple platforms.
Yes, that seems wrong, but it's necessary and it makes developing cutting-edge graphics applications in the real world much more expensive.
The decisions aren't re-made by an application all the time - that would slow things down terribly. Instead, often the run-time environment is characterized at application startup and the features remembered for later use. Modern applications actually even create programs (e.g., shaders or OpenCL programs) to run on specific GPU hardware, and they have to be compiled - something usually done by the application at startup.
Now imagine that someone changes the capabilities of the graphics hardware completely after the application has started - even from one vendor's implementation to another (Intel to nVidia).
Like I said, I'm surprised a reasonable system designer could ever think that swapping GPUs at run-time could be made to work. At least Apple allows you to turn it off!
Does Apple offer any "geek-level" configuration options that can force the use of a particular GPU for a given application? It seems that this could be an automated workaround that would allow a given application to see only one GPU, which is what Photoshop appears to need here.

Slave screen setup for MacBook Pro

Trying to use a dell flat monitor as a slave screen with my MacBook Pro (v10.6.8). Have cords, monitor connected and on, but nothing is on "slave" screen. Would appreciate any tips on how to get it going.
Thanks.

Nothing on the slave meaning (a) the slave screen is black, (b) the slave screen is white, (c) the slave screen has a desktop background without any windows, or (d) something else (what?)?
