T400s heat at the bottom of the display frame

recently, i noticed that the center bottom of the display frame is very warm, while the other parts are quite cool.
is this related to the driver of the graphic card? I recently installed tha driver provided by Lenovo (ver. 8.15.10.1855). before this, the installed driver was with higher version number, which is updated by Windows Update itself. And I do not think I have such heat problem before.
other details: i am using win 7, always wireless connection, full brightness of the display
does any other T400s users encouter similar problems?
Solved!

Hello,
do you have an LED or CCFL display?
It´s normal that your display gets warm, if it´s always running at full power Especially the CCFL´s do so.
My suggestion, there´s no need to worry about.

Using Powerbook as a desktop: HDD/battery heat bad for the display?

I'm planning on hooking up my 12" powerbook to an external monitor and use it as a desktop. The Powerbook's display itself is in 100% working order, and I would like to take it with me to use while traveling.
What I worry about is the heat from the HDD, the battery, and the fans - they get pretty hot sometimes when the computer's on. And since using the Powerbook as a desktop would require the display to be closed at all times, would the heat damage the display?
Please share any thoughts and/or experience you may have concerning this.
Thank you!

Usually, the fans don't turn on when my lid is closed, but then again, I'm not doing the same thing you're doing, using it as a "desktop" with an external monitor.
What you can do is leave your lid open, designate the external monitor as the primary screen while the PowerBook's LCD screen becomes the secondary one. Then, you can dim the screen to "zero" on your PowerBook while the external remains on and the primary.
You do this by going to System Preferences and the Displays icon, and on the resulting screen--you have to be connected to your external monitor to do this--click on the "Arrangement" tab and you'll get a screen that lets you drag a bar from left to right.
This bar represents the menu bar and dragging it to, say your external is on the right, will make the square on the right your primary, while on the left side, the square will represent your PowerBook's display and become the secondary monitor.
Hope that made sense. Plus, I don't remember my PowerBook's fans running when I did try that once. Used the PowerBook connected to an external monitor while the display was closed and running as a "desktop." Any which way, closed lid or not, it's the same principal. The only thing you get is something unsightly if you don't like the idea of having your laptop out next to the display and keyboard. As opposed to tucking it away somewhere.

The bottom part of display whiter than the rest, white on right side more brownish

So I got a new replacement of my Thunderbolt Display, this time the one I got is straight (previously left side was lower than the right side), however I can see in new one that the bottom part of the display seems to be more white (you can see a slight horizontal line at the bottom) and also on the right side of the display white colour seems to be more brownish.
I have been wondering if that is acceptable for Thunderbolt monitor? Is that a backlit bleed on white? Can you see anything on the photo I have made or am I going slightly mad?:) Please help.

The display uses LED technology which means there will be some bleeding or clouding of light on dark backgrounds (mostly from the edges). You should not have any brown color on the right side as your image shows unless perhaps you need to make some adjustments on your graphics card. I use mine with a 2012 Mini and it has good colors.

My garageband can't be used because when I open a project (new or old) the program extends beyond the bottom of the display screen and I can't access what is below the bottom of the screen (like the record button). I know there's a simple fix, but what?

two things to try: either click the green "zoom" bottom at the topLeft of the window in the title bar, or go to your System Prefs and then Displays, and increase the resolution that is used

Is it possible to change the display order of Apple TV applications on my home screen? i.e. move Watch ESPN toward the top, move the WSJ to the bottom, etc.

Yes. Just select and hold until the app starts to jiggle and then you can move it.

White horizontal lines across the bottom of Macbook display

Shortly after I turned on my Macbook last night, the bottom of the screen started to flicker and solid white lines appeared across the bottom of my screen. They go up roughly a couple inches from the bottom, and fade towards the right of the display.
When I restart my computer, They reappear as macosx is loading.
When I mouse over these white lines, the cursor is unaffected, yet they dont appear when I screenshot.
I've gone back through all the discussions but couldnt find any solutions =S
Ideas?

I think you may find hope with this article:

The effect is rare but not unknown. Unless it's a hardware issue, you might be able to use this fix.

New Macbook Pro 15 inch heat on the left and back bottom. Also, Fan is constantly running although I am only using Safari and it is a month old machine

I have a new macbook pro about a month old. Have not used for anything but internet browsing it is a 15" machine, I can feel the heat from the left corner and back bottom. Also, the fan is constantly running. Is this something I can do to resolve.

Fans are supposed to run whenever the Mac is on. Default/minimun speed is 2000RPM.
How hot is hot? Mine is running the CPU cores at 45-50C, the Radeon GPU 35-40C when not engaged, the chassis sensors 30-38C. And current ambient temperature is 27C at my location. I currently have Safari, Mail, TextEdit and Temperature Monitor online.
If you want a quick check of what the Mac's hardware is up to, download & install the iStat Pro dashboard widget. If you want a detailed view of the 20 or so different temperature sensors on the thing, download & install Bresink's free Temperature Monitor. And if you want to see ALL the different sensors it has, purchase Bresink's Hardware Monitor.

Blue line at the bottom of my display

My MacBook locked up (I couldn't eject a DVD nor could I turn the machine off) so I had to remove the battery to turn the machine off. When I turned the machine back on (1) the MacBook's display remained dark and (2) my Cinema Display had somehow changed its display resolution to 800x600. I fixed the Cinema Display's resolution easily enough and got the MacBook's display running by changing its resolution to 1280x768 (60 Hz). I don't know what the original MacBook display resolution was, but 1280x768 appears to be it. The problem is that now there is a half-inch wide light blue line running across the bottom of the display.
What should I be doing to get rid of that line?
Any help is appreciated.
Don

The computer appears to have worked out the problem itself. After hitting "Close" and then restarting (as opposed to selecting "Restart"), the display menu came up with "Cinema Display" and "LCD Display" windows set at 1280x800. Everything's back to normal. The puzzling part of this was that prior to shutting off the machine, the display menus were "Cinema Display" and "Display" (not "LCD Display"). I don't know where the "Display" window came from, but now it's gone and things work fine.
Thanks,
Don

Discoloration also on the back of the display?

Hello everyone,
I bought my white MacBook last June, and backordered a 13-inch MacCase sleeve. I’ve been using a 14-inch sleeve they sent me for free, until they finally sent the 13-inch model last week. These sleeves have a square see-thru window in the middle, so the Apple logo shows up from the outside. I am overall satisfied with their build quality and design.
About a couple of months ago, I’ve started noticing a grayish square mark on the back of the display of my book, around the Apple logo, exactly the same size as the window on the sleeve. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking that I could be just dirt coming from inside the sleeve. One day I thought the computer was dirty enough, and I decided to clean it but, to my surprise, realized that the mark wouldn’t come off. I’ve first tried to remove it with a dry cloth, then with some water, and finally Endust Electronics to clean it, to no avail. It is permanent.
I contacted the sleeve manufacturer to explain the situation. I spoke with the president of the company, who was very polite, and he asked me to email him pictures of the marks. Emailed the pictures, and he got back to me about couple days later, telling me that out of 26,000 sleeves sold, I am the only customer reporting this issue. He also mentioned he spoke with many experts in the plastic industry, and they told him that this could be a problem with the actual material used in the shell of the computer, that it was molded or formed incorrectly, heated or cooled too quickly etc. He suggested that I contact AppleCare, which I –being familiar with the discoloration problems on the white MacBooks- did.
I scheduled an appointment with the genius bar at the local Apple store (where I bought the computer from), and went there. They took a look at it and, sure enough, said that the marks were caused by the sleeve. They also told me that this is considered a “cosmetic defect” and as such, it is not covered by the warranty. Out of curiosity, I asked them how much would it cost to replace the outside shell, and they said $280. They opened a case# for me, writing all the details, and suggested me to contact AppleCase by phone to see how they can work this out. I haven’t called AppleCare yet, but I will do it soon.
So, right now I’m in the middle of this likely-lost battle. I just find the idea of being a single case out of 26,000 a little hard to digest. And I find even harder to digest that after buying a brand new computer, and a brand new sleeve *to protect it*, I now have to deal with these marks on the case, especially when the computer is not even 4 months old.
Has anyone else out there experienced this issue with a white MacBook and a MacCase sleeve? I will appreciate your input.
Daniel

Take a look at this Replacement Program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook-bottomcase/
Typically, they will not announce a program like this until they are sure it will resolve the issue. It sounds like both of you had your repairs done before this program was initiated (5/27/11), so your replacements probably didn't have the final corrections in the bottom case.
I would contact Apple per this article and see about getting it fixed. I have seen a couple of other users posting that they did the Self service option and were very pleased.

IMac (27in, mid 2010, i7 2.93ghz) has green and pink squares on the display

This is an iMac in a lab with several others of the same model and specs. This is the only one that has been experiencing this issue with green and pinkish/purple squares sometimes showing up on the display. They seem to go away once someone logs on. The longer it sits, the more of these squares appear. I'm guessing it's a video card issue, but i want to make sure before i call it in for service. I haven't been able to run a hardware test on it because it never finishes the preliminary test before running the actual test.

It seems to take several hours before it appears. So, when it sits for a while, they start showing up.
That could indicate a heat issue affecting the video hardware. Some things to mitigate heat are:
1) Clean the air intakes on the bottom of the computer. It's surprising how much lint can accumulate there.
2) Make sure nothing obstructs the long exhaust air slot at the top of the iMac's back panel. The back of the computer case should be 6-8 inches (150-200mm) from any object such as part of a workstation.
3) Be sure people are not stuffing books and papers between the workstation and the bottom of the computer.
4) That model iMac came with disks. Find the one that includes Apple Hardware Test and run it. If you get an error, report it to us. Error codes that include "SNS" indicate a sensor problem. Codes with "MOT" suggest a fan motor is failing or has failed
5) Review this Apple article to learn how to check if a runaway background process is using too many processor cycle and running up the temps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1473
6) Get a temp monitoring utility to see how hot various components are getting. I like Temperature Monitor:
http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
It puts the temps in your menubar so you don't have to invoke Dashboard like some other temp monitors require. Here is what my Mid-2010 27-inch 2.93ghz quad-core i7 reports with Mail and Safari open, and about 16 tabs running in Safari:

QuickTime 10.1 does not seem to be compatible with OSX Lion - clicking on the displayed file window switches to another displayed app, doesn't play or control the video.

If I open a movie file (appears to be any type - .mov, m4v, mv4) it displays on the desktop, but when clicked, the Mac reverts to another open application (immediately UNDER to point of the mouse click) and not the displayed movie file. It appears the screen mapping is flawed...
Anyone else have this problem? (does not appear to be a problem with QT7) Running OSX Lion 10.7.3 and QT Player 10.1 (501.8) - all most current as far as I can tell...

Yes, same problem. The active clickable area appears to be shifted down and to the right as if it is the shadow mask (to make it look like layers in the display) that is responding. Means you can't move the control palette to the top of the window (to not block security video with time track at bottom) or even close the window. The X in the bubble appears when moused over but the click goes through it.
Most obvious if you open more than one movie at a time and they cascade. You can't get at the ones underneath until a few down the stack and it gets an upper wrong one.
Who's testing these things?
For comparison testing to recreate problem: Mac Pro (System Information has also been dumbed down from System Profiler, push System Report for the useful stuff) with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 driving two displays.
Also viewing desktop of another computer on the network is slower and, for instance in World of Warcraft, the hand pointer flickers.
And finder windows can't be narrowed as much any more to show only a list of file names for drag and drop sorting.
Was hoping that by 10.7.3, it would be safe to jump, since several posts told me how to Terminal > networksetup -setv6off Ethernet to fix iTunes streaming to expresses and other dumb bugs.

I plugged my Iphone 4s in my computer last night and it asked if I wanted to do an update, so I started it and now my phone can not be found and says I have to start in recovery mode, the display on the phone is a circle itunes and the cord to plug it in?

I plugged my Iphone 4s in my computer last night to sync and it asked me if I wanted to do an update, so I clicked to start the update. When I woke up this morning my phone is frozen with the display having the blue circle itunes on the top and bottom of screen has the charger cord, letting me know to plug in, but it was already plugged in. The message in Itunes says, itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore the phone before you can use it. I know if I hit recovery mode that I lose everything currently on my phone. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
patti

If you're in recovery mode, all data is ALREADY lost. You've no choice but to restore.

Windows 8 "Turn off the display" setting not working

Hi all, I've got a TP W520 which I upgraded to Windows 8 with all updated Lenovo packages including the power mgt driver, Lenovo settings dependency package, and the newly installed Lenovo settings metro app. I'm seeing the following problem when trying to set a time for the monitor to shut off under Control Panel -> Hardware and sound -> Power Options -> Edit plan settings: - If I set any time other than never for "Turn off the display" such as 1 hour for example, the monitor will get turned off as soon as the screen-saver launches from the Windows 8 Lock Screen. - I'm not seeing this same behavior if I let the screen-saver launch while sitting at the desktop screen, problem is only seen from the Windows 8 lock screen. You can test this as follows: - Set "Turn off display" to any time i.e. 30 min - Change your screen-saver to launch after 1 min to test this - Type ctrl-alt-del then click lock to enter the lock screen, then let the screen-saver activate after a minute. - Once the screen saver tries to start, in my case, I see the monitor getting turned off and the screen saver doesn't even start. The monitor shouldn't get turned off until 30 min elapses. I'm suspecting some kind of bug with this which is still outstanding and I look forward to feedback from others on this issue. Thanks, John

How to alter the display names of grouped items in a document library?

Very odd issue I want to sort items in a document library by the value in a field, that is no problem. The issue is I want them display NOT in alphabetical order for example I have a list that is grouped into 3 groups (Cases, Forms and Support). When you
look at the page they are grouped in alphabetical order from top to bottom, I want them to show up as (Cases, Support and Forms). I tried creating column with with a value 1,2 or 3 with the "3" value attached to "Forms" items and the "2"
to the "Support" item them sort per Grouped value and that works BUT the grouped names appears as "1" "2" or "3". I need them to show as (Cases, Support Forms).
I was wondering if there is syntax to alter the display name while editing within Designer similar to the syntax used to change the display name of a long hyperlink when quoting it in an email or forum submission??
I want:
<FieldRef Name= "Grouping"/> to diplay the three groups by names other than the values in that column, the display names.
