Solution for terrible screen glare?

I just recently bought two 15" macbook pros and they glare so badly they're hard to do work. My old 17" didn't have this issue and I had no idea the screen was different with the newer models. I called Apple, they said call Best Buy (where I bought them), Best Buy said call the store and the store said call the Apple store. I just spent over $4,500 for two laptops I can't use to edit (photography) on location because the glare is so bad. Does anybody have a solution? I can't afford to spend more money! Thanks

Take them back if you can and buy the anti-glare models at the Apple Store or online.
There are online Mac businesses that will replace the glare screen for a anti-glare.
Anti-glare filters are a pain in the arse.
Search for MacMatte and log a protest with everyone else. See this..

Apple's "Solution" for Blue-Screen Crashing Problem

Good Morning,
For those of you thinking of calling Apple's Technical Support for help about the Blue-Screen crashing issue, don't bother.
I just got off the phone with Tech Support about the blue-screen crashing issue. After waiting 15 minutes for help, the first thing they did was act as if I were the first person to report this problem. The tech support guy finally admitted that Apple has received thousands of calls on this matter in the past couple of days.
When I asked for a solution, the only thing the tech support guy offered was to have me disconnect all my external devices, then restart Windows and disable various services, the restart my computer, then reconnect my external devices, then reconnect the iPod, then restart the computer again...Absolutely ridiculous.
I did all these steps, and I got the iPod to work once. But when I restarted my computer again, the problem returned.
So, after a lot of wasted time, I'm back to where I started.
I'm getting rather angry about this.
Apple needs to fix this problem -- TODAY
How could Apple release a new version of iTunes with this problem?
If you call Tech Support and they try to tell you they have not heard of this problem before, just give them this list of links to discussions concerning the crashing issue:

Has anyone found a solution for the screen freeze on iPhone 6 plus?

I have an iPhone 6 plus on t mobile. Since buying the phone, there has been difficulty with the screen randomly freezing. I was wondering if this was a software fix or do I need to have the hardware looked at.

Have you tried these basic troubleshooting steps?
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559
Restore from backup
Restore as new

If no joy, make an appointment with the Apple genius bar for an evaluation.

Production ready solution for full screen?

I am creating a full screen application (simulation/game). Full screen is part of the requirements.
So I set:
primaryStage.setFullScreen(true);
and then add the scene to the stage:
primaryStage.setScene(aScene);
When I run the application I immediately get the message "Press escape to exit full screen mode" on top of the screen (covering the company logo is usually not a good idea). The message fades after a bit.. but then I go to the next scene
primaryStage.setScene(aNewScene);
and the message "Press escape to exit full screen mode" covers the screen again (and I assume it will do this every time I change scenes). This will obviously not fly. Any idea how I get rid of these messages once and for good. Thanks

Even though they look like swing panels from an API perspective, they are implemented using a scene graph (much like traditional 3D programming). Each 'pane' is just a node in the tree with child nodes.
BorderPane.setCenter is the right approach for you. Or perhaps even slightly better is a StackPane at the root which will let you do layers. Add a BorderPane as the first child of this and then use setCenter on this to change your game display. Then add another pane to the StackPane to contain your HUD (eg score, buttons, etc). Use animations to do some cool HUD entry/exits for bonus points.
JFX Flow would probably suit your needs too. Just customize the browser class to not look like a browser. That way you'd get some of the other features too like page transitions, dialogs, blocking while loading, etc, or have a look at the jfx flow source code (particularly the Browser class) for bits and pieces of what you need.

Solution for frozen screen?

My iPod touch is frozen. I have turned it off six times, each time resulting in the same frozen screen. I have reset my iPod only to have the screen still unresponsive. Double tapping the home button still moves the screen. The touch action for my iPod is not responding. I tried to restore the iPod a few times, each time just resulting in the same way. I allowed my iPod to die on it's own, only to have it be fully charged and still unresponsive.
Is there someone out there that can help? Or should I contact a specialist? Due to my location Apple stores are not common and if they are, they do not speak English.

Try what you have not yet tried:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Solution for uneven screen brightness

My screen wasn't perfectly even in terms of brightness; the right side seemed darker than the rest. After experimenting, I discovered that setting the screen brightness to the highest for couple of hours solved this issue. Now my screen brightness is completely even! I don't know how this happens but it works!

I'm not sure either, but I know that some programs out there to solve "stuck" pixels play an intense video on your screen, changing color 30 times/second, and that is able to free the liquid which is actually stuck behind that one pixel. Also, applying pressure with a damp cloth and restarting your computer is another fix I've heard for that problem. Screen brightness, on the other hand, has to do with the lamp behind that liquid display, so I don't know how that would be affected by these things. I just realized this post didn't really make sense. Now I'm debating whether or not to hit "post." I'm really tired and I need to get my work done, but instead on here on the apple forums. Please help!

TX2000 Screen Glare problem

Hi folks,
I just have a quick question regarding the TX2000. I can't use the screen in any daylight conditions due to the horrendous glare on the screen. I can only use it indoors with the curtains pulled.
-Is it possible to replace the screen with a non glare version? I don't care if I lose touchscreen as I don't use it anyway.
-If not, what is the best solution for the screen glare problem? I have tried some stick on glare screens, but found them all useless.
I would love to know how other users are managing in this situation.
Regards,
Topper.

It's the iMac's protective front glass that is causing the additional glare on the screen.
The actual TFT LCD screen is glossy, itself, and the additional front glass and the air space between the actual LCD screen and the protective glass causes extreme glossy look and glare and a slightly out of focus look.
Do as WZZZ recommends and look into purchasing a MacFrame.
I, absolutely, hated the glossy iMac screen and was getting serious headaches with only a short time of sitting in front of my iMac. As soon as I bought my iMac, I started my hunt for a good solution and found the MacFrame. Since removing the iMac's front glass and install a MacFrame, I can work at my Mac the way I used to.
The removal of the extra pane of glass doesn't completely get rid of the glare ( again, the LCD, itself, has a glossy, glass panel), but reduces the glare down to a more tolerable, and less eye straining level.
The MacFrame is just a black painted metal cover that covers over all of the ugly parts that show when you remove the iMac's front glass panel.
The MacFrame kit gives you everything you need to remove the iMac glass and re-install the MacFame in its place.
The difference in reduced glare is very noticeable and the screen actually looks clearer and sharper.
Store the original front iMac glass to protect it from getting broken or damaged.
You will need to reinstall this glass if you ever need to bring your iMac in for any servicing.
Good Luck!

HT201406 my ipad touch screen is not working please give solution for it.

my ipad touch screen is not working please give solution for it.
i have connected ipad to itunes and done it restore seetings then also my touch is not working but
when i connected ipad to i tunes inside functions are working properly but touch screen is not working what can i do

If you have a screen protector on the iPad's screen, try removing it. If you don't or that doesn't help, and restoring the iPad to factory settings has not corrected the problem, then the iPad probably has a hardware problem and will need to be taken or sent to Apple for replacement.
Regards.

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

My ipad is taking restart automatically and screen is fully balck and showing only apple logo.please give me solution for that

my ipad is taking restart automatically and screen is fully balck and showing only apple logo.please give me solution for that

Have you tried a reset first? If it works, you won't have to go through the restore process.
Hold down the sleep (upper right hand top) and the home button at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding down the buttons. The Apple logo shoud appear. Then your ipad might work again. It takes a good 15 seconds. You will not lose anything on your ipad.
If you try it a couple of times and it doesn't work, you might have to go through the restore process as has been suggested above. But follow the steps so you don't lose your data.
Hope this helps.

Anti-Glare Film for Glass Screen

I want to get a new 15" MBP but I'll have to get a glass screen because I don't want hi-rez.
Has anyone found a good anti-glare film for glass screens that works well?
Anyone think that apple may offer regular rez w anti-glare?

revDAVE,
I installed one of these and I love it. In fact, I just ordered a high-res UMPB with the glossy screen because I can add a matte film to it if I want, but I can't remove the matte finish from Apple's offering if I don't like it.
Just take your time with the installation to avoid any air bubbles.
eww,
I have no commercial interest in the supplier of this product and will not gain anything through this recommendation except the satisfaction of being helpful.

Solutions for connecting dual screens to MacBook Pro?

Anyone have any solutions for connecting TWO (2) individual displays to a MacBook Pro? I am currently using "Matrox Power Desk" but this thing *****! I have two Apple 23" Displays (they're older, probably from 2006ish) and want a better method for connecting them both to my MacBook Pro.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

The Matrox MXO is a pretty good solution.
