Screen goes red orange and yellow

what the heck is up with this thing! ok so about 4 months ago i started having a problem with the screen on my laptop. all of a sudden it would go red green and yellow and loose its resolution causing severe overlap on the sides. i called apple and the there was nothing it could do from the phone.
I did the hardware test and nothing. so im at a loss here does anyone have an idea of what it could be. the guy on the phone was talking about some wire perhaps being pinched or so?!

Hey jk
I would suggest that when this tint happens you log out and then if it is still like that then its a hardware problem. well at least thats what the guy on the phone told me to do. and of course once its a harware problem there is pretty much nothing you can do but take it to a store.
hope its still under warranty
Cheers and best of luck

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

You're welcome
You had Safari in full screen mode.

I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I want to download a video from youtube

No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

Screen goes red

Hi
The screen goes red in preview and after the movie is
published. It only seems to happen on slides that contain animation
/ movie clips.
Has anybody got a solution to this?
Thanks

The changes are usually a "season to taste", or "trial

may be a more scientific method, but someone else will have to step
in for that. I have had success changing display time by as little

I wanted to restore my ipod touch 4G, but everytime it is restoring with the apple logo, the screen goes partially white and my itunes says "error 9"... what should i do?

I wanted to restore my ipod touch 4G, but everytime it is restoring with the apple logo, the screen goes partially white and my itunes says "error 9"... what should i do?
plz answer me~

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

The touchpad on my Macbook has become irresponsive. It works sometimes but normally remain insensitive. Sometimes the screen goes to back and forth by itself as I am dragging it using the touchpad.

Problem with screen going suddenly blurry and no controls working

Allo everyone,
I bought a brand new iMac a few months ago and twice I've had the problem of the computer freezing with the screen going completely blurry and none of the controls working. No mouse clicks, no keyboard taps, nothing.
The last time it happened is tonight, and I had Firefox, Safari and Quicktime running at the same time. I can't remember what I had open the first time, I think it was just Firefox.
Nothing short of hitting the power button and switching off the computer can solve the problem. After rebooting it works perfectly.
It's got me a little worried as my partner and I work on some quite major projects, and I'd hate to think it's going to do that in the middle of our work.
Is this a software or possible hardware malfunction? Or am I doing something wrong here?
Many thanks in advance.

Definitely take it back, quickly. Most likely, by symptoms, you have a failing motherboard. Seems to be an issue with HP with many of their models. If your warranty expires your goose is cooked. I'd recommend you show the repair facility the actual symptoms before you leave the store, and get them to write up the problem accurately at time of drop off and get a copy. Get a paper trail. If you ship it in include a detailed description and keep a copy.

Screen goes to sleep and won't come back on - how to fix?

My 2009 MacBook screen goes to sleep and won't come back on. It just stays black while the computer is still running. This just started happening one day for no apparent reason. Anyway to reconcile?

TV Screen goes Black - Airplay and ATV3

Hey there,
I had been using airplay and had no issues at all. I have been trying to use it today and it won't work.
As soon as I turn AirPlay mirroring on my mac the tv screen goes black.
As a test I used airplay with my iphone and it worked.
Someone has posted a similar question but his solution did not work for me, I did restart both ATV and mac and still have the issue.
Could anybody help?

For me, Problem solved... sorta!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19417133#19417133
It appears that Parallels 7 is not compatible with Airplay Desktop Mirroring in ML
If you remove this file com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist
inside
/Library/LaunchDaemons
then reboot.
ATV3 now works again with Airplay Mirroring.
However, it breaks Parallels. And you simply cannot put the com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist file back inside /Library/LaunchDaemons. You need to re-install Parrallels. Could be a permissions thing, but I tried to repaire and follow Parallels instructions on how to start and stop the service.
I Hope this helps... If you don't use parallels, then it still could be something in the /Library/LaunchDaemons or /Library/LaucnhAgents directories

Screen goes to sleep and won't wakeup

13" macbook screen goes to sleep but won't wakeup reliably. I can see a faint dark screen and I hear the computer working but can't see anything. If I press the screen light keys it will flash a view and almost seems to fix the problem. Closing / opening clamshell a number of times eventually causes it to work. The sleep light on the front sometimes stays solid instead of throbbing. I can even plug a remote monitor in and it will display on the remote. Using 10.6.8

I've had this issue twice with my 2009 white MacBook. Fortunately I still had the apple care support which expires in June! The most recent occurrence was last week. The inverter board had to be replaced and they actually ended up replacing my LCD this time. Evidently its a faulty design with this model. The repair was free to me, but I noted the cost on the invoice when I picked up my computer. The inverter board and another part were a total of $75, and the LCD was about $300. But like I said, the first time they did not replace the LCD screen, so it could be a minor repair.

After startup screen goes multi-coloured and then restarts.

I started up my mac pro into windows today, a few seconds after it had loaded my desktop the screen went multi-coloured and then it force re-booted.
Anyone know what could be causing this? Will booting in safe-mode help, if so how can this be done on a mac?
Thanks in advance.

This is only happening for bootcamp, my OSX partition is working fine.
It could be a graphics driver issue, or a hardware issue. I can't say for sure without access to more information. I would suggest performing full diagnostics testing, and if you are still under Apple Care, schedule an appointment for a Genius Bar and have them run some tests. If you are no longer under warranty, they should still run the tests for free, but you would have to pay for any repairs.

MacBook Pro 13" Screen going red and cyan at certain angles

Started doing this yesterday out of the blue - at certain angles the screen turns cyan and red. Brought MacBook around year ago, not sure what to do next. Tried doing the command R thing at start up to reinstall OS X as one feed said to do that, but it didn't work. Tried getting an appointment at the genius bar, but can't until next week! Any ideas what's going on/what to do next?

around year ago
Check to see if your Mac is still covered under the one year limited warranty.
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
Command + R gives you access to the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
If your Mac won't boot using OS X Recovery, definitely mention that as well when you take it to the Apple Store.
T'hat's the only way you can restore or repair OS X on your Mac.
The display color issue doesn't sound like a hard drive issue. Perhaps an issue with the graphics card or a problem with the display.

Red green and yellow buttons

Could someone explain how the three buttons in upper left corner are suppose to work.I know that the red is to close out the current page.The yellow is to minimize down to dock.but the green I thought was to either shrink page size to user preference and then when pressed again go to full size.Do you need to set both of these sizes? The other day I was on MLB.com and the next thing I know my screen became about half size then I hit the green button and it got slightly smaller.Up till that time I always had full sreen.Not quite sure why or the correct way to fix this.
Thanks ,
Bill

The green resizes the window to and from the minimum size the program thinks it needs to be
Apple has no consistent rule for the green button; it isn't worth trying to figure it out. In Safari and others, it will resize to content. In TextEdit, Mail, and others, it will maximize to full screen. In iTunes 9 and earlier, it will change the window mode. In iTunes 10, the green button is gray...
Except for iTunes, it is consistent. But, you have to understand the concept and what is being displayed. The Zoom button toggles between a user state and the smallest size which will hold all of the content of the window. In Text Edit, there is no wrapping. A line of text will stretch across the entire screen. So, if you Zoom to the content state, the window will fill the screen. If you tell TE to wrap to page, the zoom width will be only page width, not full screen. Mail is similar in that there are no line breaks in a message, so the smallest size is the full screen. I can't defend iTunes and the debacle that is it's Zoom button.
I think the observation of the red button is correct; if an app has one window it quits, if it has multiple windows the window closes but the app stays open.
The Close button closes the document window. In accordance with the user interface guidelines, if the App has no reason to stay open without a document window, the app can close if the last document window is closed. Utilities will often do this. A Document editor will likely not close the app as it is much faster (with very little resource overhead) to keep the app open waiting until the user begins a new document.
Also realize that these are not System defined behaviors. They are listed in the User Interface Guidelines, but it is up to the developer to implement the features to comply with the UIGs.

HT1414 My camera is working on iPad but when I slide to video the screen goes to grey and stays stuck there 3 week old ipad

I got my iPad 3 weeks ago and has been fine, yesterday went to use the video and it won't load the screen

Try this
tap home button twice to show open apps. Press and hold video app till it jiggles then tap red circle to close.
Tap home button again to go back to home screen. Open video app and try again.
Still problem? then try this
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
