Small White Dot lower left

I've noticed a small white dot that appears on the screen when CS5 is active. I've changed the background from neutral gray to black and sure enough it's there and only appears when PSCS5 is open. It doesn't matter if I have a photo open or not. I first noticed it when working on a photo and tried to use the clone tool to remove it. It tried cleaning the screen and finally figured out that it is Photoshop that produces the white dot. As soon as I click Finder or any other application the dot disappears. Weird! It appears about 1.5 inches from the left edge of the screen and about 1 inch from the bottom.
Anyone one else see this or is it just me?

It's a bug, we're testing the fix now.

Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

Little White Dot on left hand of screen

Hey guys I have this little white dot on the left hand side of my screen. It seems to be dead center vertically and is just a 3 or 5 millimeters from the left edge. I think it's slightly larger than a single pixel (maybe two?). It's not a stuck pixel. It goes away if I put something darker behind it but if there's something white or very light behind it the spotter stands out as brighter than the rest.
I noticed it a month or so ago. I tried stuck pixel fixers but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm way out of warranty so i can really only do home fixes. It's not a huge deal but it gets kind of annoying cause once I notice it keep nagging at the back of my mind until I leave my computer for a while and forget about it.
Anyway I used it for over a year before noticing it so I think it appeared a while after I bought it but I don't know exactly when. I was thinking maybe the LCD backlight got jostled or something and now has a little bit of focus on the spot along with regularly lighting the rest of the screen. just a theory...
So do you guys have any ideas and hopefully easy home fixes that don't risk my computer's functioning?

I have this same issue. I have two small white smug looking spots that showed up about two month ago. It’s is really apparent when the Apple default blue screen at boot up.
I went to the Genius Bar last night to have another issue looked at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1882651&tstart=0 and I inquired what those white dots/smudges were.
“The Genius” said they are what they call bruises. Bruises caused by pressure applied in a concentrated area on the screen. I asked how that was possible when I carry my MBP in a case inside my bag. He then explained that anything could cause this and most likely was gripping the case of the computer when closed. He also went on to explain that this was not covered by the normal Mfg. warranty or the extended service plan.

Bad video...columns of small white dots, pixelation

Can anyone help me...i've had the apple tv for some time and now i get inconsistent video quality. Just started several months ago. white dot columns, pixilation are the problems, any suggestions?

I have the same problem with mine starting tonight, and I'm pretty sure the internal video card is going bad.
I bought mine years ago during the first few days after the ATV was released. It was running OS 3.02 as of tonight. When I "restore" it installs version 1.0, but the "dots or lines in video problem" is still seen in the menus. And after the restore it started to lock up randomly, with nothing on it, just by going through the menus.
I'm leaving it unplugged to see if the problem is over-heating, but it's not any hotter than usual.

Why do I have this small white dot on my macbook pro display screen?

I have this white dot on my macbook pro display screen. It doesn't go away. Anybody knows what it is? Any suggestions?

Because the developer needed to create the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for both.

White Dot top left of screen that is not a stuck pixel

Hi,
Along with the colour shift issue (that seems to be gone when not on full bright?) I also have a white pixel whenever a full screen application runs (eg DVD Player, Aperture).
It is not stuck because when the screen saver comes on it isn't there. Strange one hey, any ideas?

dust?

I have a small white dot in the middle of my screen.

Is there something wrong with my screen itself? Is it defective? Should I bring it back to the Apple store? The dot does not go away. I first noticed it when I was watching movies on netflix. I spent so much money on this laptop and having something wrong with it after 6 months just *****.

It is possible it could be defective or damaged. Take it to an apple store and have it checked out.

White dot beside icons in Navigation Bar

What does it mean when a small white dot appears beside some of the icons within the nav bar? I assume it means that the application is running in the background. Is it prudent to "Quit" these applications or is it OK to keep it running in the background? Sometimes I don't like to Quit it, as it disappears off the nav bar and I have to retreive it. Thanks!

Hi MagicMan88
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Yes, the white dot indicates that the Application is open.
To retain any Application on the Dock +(Navigation Bar)+ control (right) click on it and in Options select Keep in Dock. Now then when you Quit the Application, the short cut icon should remain on the Dock for the next time you want to open it.

Whats that small balck dot?

Apart from the update today screwing up any publishing ability, no images, no links, just a blank base page for albums, no albums.
BUT
there is a small black dot top left. Why?
None of the workarounds for the update have helped. Even made a Brand New site with a different domain.sites2 file. Same issue. Images not loading but that little black dot is.
that'll teach me for updating too soon, I guess I just have faith that there are techies who know exactly what they are doing with these software updates.
Im still mad at Numbers being so slow and thinking it need 1.5gigs of my ram to function. besides the update for iWeb didnt fix what I wanted it to. The images keep going a shade darker upon publishing. Whats up with that? Secondary now though, since the images arent actually going anywhere.
I wanted to quit using GoLive and Dreamweaver for simplicity. I feel bad for the consumers that this is targeted towards as so easy a caveman could do it. No, wait, thats something else.

I believe the small black dot top left represents the Navigation Bar that iWeb puts at the top of every web page. The web page coding calls for a javascript file (in a folder called "Scripts") that contains the information for the Nav Bar. If it can't find that javascript file, you get a small black dot placed where the Nav Bar should be.
Of course, the question in why the page can't find that file...

Samsung DLP White dots on screen

My 46 inch DLP has a growing number of small white dots on the screen of my two year old Samsung ,any ideas on what is wrong and how much to fix?

Hey mongo3772,
There are a number of different problems that you could be experiencing, including a potentially defective digital micomirror device (DMD). Unfortunately, the only way to determine if a part is actually failing would be to contact a factory-authorized service center. Before giving anyone a call, however, I’d strongly recommend visiting Samsung’s troubleshooting support website:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/troubleshootingGuidesMain.do
You’ll need to have the model number for your TV handy when you visit the site, but you may be able to find a quick-fix for your TV that doesn’t involve a repair technician!
Hope this helps you out!

White dots or pixels on new iPad screen.

I recently purchased a new 16gb wifi New iPad and while applying a new screen guard I noticed 2 very small white dots on the screen under the glass. These dots are not noticeable while the screen is on unless you really look for them. Has anyone else found the same thing with their new iPad and is it worth returning my iPad for a replacement.?

I have noticed the same thing on my new iPad!
At first I thought that I had damaged it but couldn't understand why there seemed to be in the same spot one on top of the other.
It's like there is a small bit of dust that has managed to get between the screens and then when I have been using the iPad it has somehow split in two and stuck to both the inside of the outter screen and the inner screen, if that makes sense....

My imac starts with a white screen, then goes black and a small white line just blinks in the top left corner of the screen?

Try starting your iMac with the original DVD that came with the machine then launch disk utility to repair your hard drive.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another. I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition. The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them. In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

Many small black and white dots on LCD

I bought macbook pro 2 months ago, the 2.33 ghz core 2 duo wid 2 gig ram and ATi Radeon X1600 xt gfx card. Recently i noticed small black and white dots cluttered in one place. The rest of the screen has about 7 - 8 independent dots, I feel as if they are increasing day by day. Is there any permanent solution to this. I contacted the apple support and I'm waiting on their decision.

Thanx, but I think this is more of an hardware problem. Since its on the screen, I tried to take a screenshot, but the dots were not on the image. I have searched many times, it seems many people have this same problem, I think its the dead pixels, but this too much.
