Screen turns grey but can still see image

Hi all,
I don't really know how to explain this but recently I am getting this grey shading on my screen. I can still see the content if I tried to but it's really hard. At first I just wiggle my screen a bit or give it a tap around the screen then it will return back to normal. But the problem is getting worse and worse. Wiggling and tapping the screen doesn't really do the job anymore. I just got this new screen about a month ago under Apple's warranty. I'm thinking maybe when the technician installed the new screen, he didn't attach something secured enough and it has come lose.
Anyone having similar problem or know what's going on? My warranty just expired 4 days ago.... Hope it's nothing major or I'm spending my own money :/
Oh and I've been reading about snow leopard having screen issue.... not sure if this is related but I did upgrade to snow leopard.

this sounds like the same problem i am having. for me, the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the screen will fade, like every other pixel is going white. then it will start turning grey. by the end its all dark shades of grey, but streaked vertically to match what's displaying on the upper part of the screen. the whole thing happens in a few seconds. the rest of my screen is fine. does this sound like your problem?
if it helps, i bought the mac in 2007, and had to have the video card (i think) replaced because it had the problem of the screen staying black when opened from sleeping. if anyone has any advice, please let me (us) know. thanks

Help! Black screen but can still see cursor.

Help my screen has gone black but I can still see the cursor. I have tried starting it up in safe mode but nothing. Help as all my children's photos are on it.

Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

Contact has deleted me - but can still see their c...

I have Skype on my iPhone and I am always logged in. This morning when I clicked on Skype icon I could see that this contact had indeed been online as it shows me who has been online just for a second before refreshing.
This contact profile says they are offline, I can still see their picture and I can still see the circle with the x in it.
However in their contact count information it has gone from 13 to 12 since they were online yesterday. I suspect they have deleted/blocked me???
Would this be right although I don't see the question mark in their information

I think there is really no way to know.
1. if they have blocked you, they will indeed appear as offline, but basically you are still in their contact list so their contact count will not be affected.
2. if they have deleted you, the grey icon with a question mark inside will appear opposite their name, plus the notification that they have not shared contact details with you.
3. if they have blocked and deleted you, it will be the same as #2

There are no warranty papers, never have been for iPhones.
Take the device to Apple, an Out of Warranty replacement is $229.
Warranty does not and has never covered damage. The device has suffered damage (cracked screen).

IPod screen turned black but it still syncs

Hi,
starting from yesterday my ipod screen turned white at first and now is black. When I connect my ipod to my macbook, it still syncs and it looks like it's still in work. I tried to hold the sleep button and the center button together but it will just turn the ipod off. I don't know what to do.. is the lcd broken and i need to chnage into a new lcd? or my whole ipod is broken? My ipod is first generation, and used it for 4 years.. please help me..!

Try:
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It could be the display or maybe its driver circuits.

Help: Macbook backlight off, but can still see webpage, non-reponsive

Ok. Here we go. I bought a used Macbook for my daughter (her first Mac!).
The Macbook was in great physical shape, in fact it looks almost brand new despite being an older 2.0ghz model. Everything has been going great for the past month, until today.
The first issue came when I went and tried to wake the Macbook up from sleep. When I opened the lid, the display was on and all of my pages etc. were still open. However, it was unresponsive to any sort of input. Eventually I had to just force it power down and then restart it.
The second issue (same day), my wife went to use the computer, but discovered that the backlight was off. We could still make out the items being displayed on the screen, but again it was unresponsive. Normally, if the computer is on and the display isn't working, you can usually at least get the capslock button to light up or here the tick sound when you push the volume keys.
I am a bit concerned about this because it is the second time today that the Macbook has become unresponsive. This time when I rebooted it (after forcing it off), the fan came on for about 2 minutes. Then I ran the disk utility, but got nothing abnormal.
The Macbook is way out of warranty, which is why I turned to the discussions forum. Any help of advice would be appreciated!
Thanks

Does the display work normal when booted from the install DVD?
Also, try running your hardware tester, resetting your SMC and PRAM.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?

When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it. I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
thanks,

The screen on my MacBook goes black often. I can still see a faint image of what's on the screen, and can only get it to illuminate by moving it back and forth. What could the issue be? How can it be fixed?

The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

reset the ipad by holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the ipad turns off. Ignore the slide to power off message if it comes up. Then hold the sleep/wake button for a few seconds to turn it back on. You should get the apple logo then.
