Small Line of Unavailable Screen at Bottom of 11.6" MacBook Air

Does anyone notice on their 11.6" MacBook Air that at the very bottom of the screen there is a small line that applications don't fill when maximized? I always thought it was supposed to be like this because it was the same on every application, but I installed Office 2011 today and now it can utilize the entire screen.

I think it might be because I had dock set to the bottom of the screen, could someone check this for me? I can get the whole screen filled if I set the dock on the left or right side.

I bought an MacBook Air 13 from Dubai last month. However I see smudge lines on the screen of the laptop which are prominent if the screen is black. Does the macbook air have international warranty ? Since I am in India right now. Can I get it fixed here

I don't know what service options are available in India but if this helps I do know that once you purchase your Apple product the warranty is valid anywhere in the world.

Satellite A100-683: Small Lines running through screen

Hello,
I bought my Toshiba A100-683 for a month ago.
The problem is that I sometimes see small grayish lines running through the LCD screen from the top the bottom.
This is are the type of lines u also see when u use your (phone) camera to make a movie of a monitor / lcd screen.
I don see them always and seem to appear randomly.
I've updated my video card drivers but this didn't solve the problem.
Is anyone familiar with this problem ?? Or knows an solution for it before i will send it for repair.

Hi
I would recommend connecting it to the external monitor. If the small lines dont appear on the external connected monitor so I suppose the graphic card is ok and possibly only the FL inverter could has a malfunction.
Anyway, its no matter whats wrong because the warranty should be valid in your case and all replacements should be done for free.

Pink vertical small line on my screen

There is a pink vertical small line on my I MAC screen...

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

Is a delay before the screen updates normal when waking my macbook air?

Hi,
I just got one of the new 11" Macbook Airs. Whenever I wake my machine, the screen comes on pretty quickly but seems to be "frozen" for about 3 seconds.
If I move my finger on the track pad or type something I don't see the results until it "unfreezes", but everything I pressed or moved is there. Also animations seem to continue in the background, so when it unfreezes anything that was animating, is in a state several seconds away.
This behavior seems very un-apple-like, so I just want to make sure it really isn't working as intended before I trek back to the store. Does anyone else have this?
I tried repairing permissions and wiping pram.
Thanks
Mike

Posted about this a while back but didn't seem that that many people notice this issue. I think all the new MacBook Airs experience this problem. I bought one, noticed the issue, took it back to the Apple store, they replaced it no questions asked, got the new one and it has the exact same issue. Wake from sleep takes 10-20 seconds or longer. And I was so happy with my new MBA...
Being in Toronto, at the Eaton Center Apple Store all of them seem to be Toshiba.. I ran around the counter and checked each MBA - there seem to be no samsung drives at my store.
This really *****.

Has anyone else noticed small lines arcoss the iPad three

My iPad has small lines across the screen when held up to the light is this the new pixel signal structure

Hi Doug,
I'm sure I did not notice a difference in Esc key behavior simply because I have never tried to use the Esc key to stop the Pen Tool from picking up the current path.
I just tested with all these versions of Photoshop: 6.0, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, CC 14.x, and CC (2014) on my PC workstation running Windows 8.1.
Observations:
Photoshop versions 6.0, CS5, and CS6 DO terminate the creation of the current path at the current point upon pressing the Esc key. However, Photoshop versions CS2, CS3, CS4, CC 14.x, and CC (2014). do not terminate the creation of the path upon pressing Esc, and will continue the path with another pen click. Photoshop CC 14.x and CC (2014) may make it SEEM like the path creation is terminated because they hide the points, but the next click continues the path and causes all the points to reappear.
In every case holding the control key down (to temporarily choose the Direct Selection Tool) and clicking off the current path terminates the creation with an open path and allows the creation of another separate path.
No version closes the path (made the path into a closed shape) upon pressing Esc. The only way I know to close a path is to bring the cursor back to the starting point, watch for a little o to appear next to the cursor, then click the mouse.
With Photoshop 6.0, CS2, CS3, CS4, and CS5 the response of the Pen Tool was instantaneous. There was a definite slowdown / sluggishness in Photoshop CS6 and CC 14.x, which is now corrected in Photoshop CC (2014), which is again instantly responsive.
The only other thing I can think of regarding closing a path might be that when using the Pen Tool there are choices in the Options Bar about whether you're creating a shape or a path. Are you ensuring you have that set the same way as you have had it set in the past?

Macbook Air 13" Screen Crack - Will it break the computer?

Just yesterday I noticed a small crack in the left bottom corner of my Macbook Air 13" (2011). In the last day it has already started to get a bit worse with a small crack that extends a couple vertical and horizontal lines a couple of inches.
My question is, I am about to travel for several months and don't really have time to get it fixed. Can the crack in the screen cause the laptop itself to malfunction? Even if it gets worse, as long as I can still use it I can be patient, but I don't want it to die on me while I am travelling!!!

The damage is likely to remain confined to the display, but the display itself will likely worsen. It could range from just a longer crack, to overall failure of the display. I've not heard of a cracked display "causing" collateral damage.

Launch Pad Icons appear small on my MacBook Air

How do I change the size of my icons in the Launch Pad. My icons appear a lot smaller then the icons I've seen on the new MacBook Airs at the Apple stores.

There's not a setting to change the size, they should autosize for an 8 x 5 matrix that fills the screen.

Macbook pro screen vs macbook air screen - Color "capability"?

Hi,
I've been trying to find information comparing the late 2011 15" Macbook Pro with high-res screen vs the 11" or 13" macbook air screens but I could only find one answer saying that the color gamut on the MBP is much better (wider) that on the MBA.
I think I've been around the other factosr (speed, memory, weight, size, etc..) between MBP and MBA but the last thing I wanted to figure out was the screen. I am into photography and I wanted an Apple laptop that shows the "best" colors. I think that will definitely make an enormous difference in my decision between MBP and MBA.
Any thougts on that? Maybe you know some tests that have been done on color rendition?
I was going to post this in the MBA discussion section but I thought I'd see what kind of feedback I can get here first.
thanks a lot!!

The MacBook Pro 13" screen resultion is1440 x 900 which is actually higher than the 13" MacBook Pro, which has a 1280 x 800 screen. In fact, the MBA 13's resolution is equivalent to the MBP 15's resolution, which is also 1440 x 900. So, if you are looking at that point, and that point only, the 13" MBA is pretty nice. It's the lack of a dedicated graphics card, limited RAM (I believe it's soldered into the motherboard), slower CPU (dual core i5), no Super Drive and a few other things that swing it over to the 15"MBP.
I think the MBA has it's place. It's a big step above the iPad in usability. But it's a big step down from the upper end of the MBP platform. The only place where it gets close to flipping a coin is the 13" MBP vs. MBA. I'd take the MBA almost every time.

I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom and a tiny circle at top. The fading on and off light isn't working anymore either. Does anyone know anything about this?

I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen - they look light brighter spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom right and a tiny circle at top right. The fading on and off light on area surrounding the screen isn't working anymore either. Has anyone else had similar problems? Any solutions? Thanks!

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

2 vertical lines, running from top to bottom, have appeared on my screen

2 vertical lines, running from top to bottom, have suddenly appeared on my screen. On a white back ground they appear blue and green. they have a wide space between them. I switched off and on but they are still there. Whats happening?

You don't say what model Mac you have (iMac I assume) or OS version, but it's probably an LCD problem. Do you have access to another monitor? If it doesn't show up on the external monitor, it's your iMac monitor and not the video card. If it shows up on the external, it's the video card. Do you have AppleCare?

My iMac has extremely small gray lines on the screen?

My iMac has extremely small gray lines under the screen? There are 3 of them and they are right next to each other, have any of you guys experienced this? What did Apple do about it? BTW my computer is 4 months out of warranty, because i did not get the extended Apple Care, will they still fix my computer? Im really worried, but its not that noticeable, unless you already know its there.

They won't fix your computer because it's out of warranty, perhaps an AppleCare lesson learned here. Of course you can try which doesn't hurt. The longer you wait though and the less chance they will help. Can you attach a picture so we can see what they look like?

Hi
I've recently notice I have a thin black line in my screen.. I went to Apple store and was told it’s a hardware problem (400$+ to fix as no warranty).
This is the second time I’m having hardware screen issues with a Macbook Air (last time it was 3 months after I bought it, and it was replaced with this one)
Looks like the Macbook Air screens are very problematic! Anyone experience something like that?
Thanks,
Eyal.
