The left side of my display/screen is darker than the right side.

Running a 27 inch, Mid 2011 iMac. Left side of screen is obviously darker than the right side. Any one else have this happen? Any solutions?

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Either the display is bad, the GPU has failed, or the display backlighting has failed.

The top of my iPod touch screen is darker than the rest of my screen after the newest update?

So today I turned on my iPod touch (5th generation) and it said there was a software update available. I updated it with no problem, but after the update I noticed almost half of my screen was darker than the rest at the top. (Posting screenshots below) I don't know if it's supposed to be like that because of the update or not. Also, I have a little blue dot (assuming it's a 'dead' or 'stuck' pixel) on my screen that was there when I bought the ipod BRAND NEW on February 13th of this year and I'd like to know if that may be affecting it? Any help would be appreciated!

Using apps and Safari the screen is normal:

Hi iBridgetx3,
You can try several things:
1. Go to Settings>Wallpapers & Brightness, and turn the Brightness up or down
2. Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increase Contrast, and play with the three options available there - I turned off Reduce Transparency, and turned on Darken Colors and Reduce White Point, because I like the color gradation on the wallpaper on my Home screen. But if you don't like it, then make sure Darken Colors is off, and try that with Reduce White Point both off and on to see what you like best
There are a lot of new settings specifically designed to address the variety of problems that people were having with the initial iOS 7 "look". Play around with them. You will probably find a combination that will suit you.

The left side of my iPad mini is darker than the right side.

I have done a hard reset and adjusted brightness but it doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Make an appointment at your local Apple store, take it in and have them look at it. In case they decide to replace it, you may want to do a sync and backup before you go.

The iPhone update 8.3 (12F70) is making my home screen wallpapers darker than the picture itself. Even if I set the same picture as home and lock screen wallpaper, the home screen image is noticeably darker. How can I change this?

Is anyone else noticing the same issue?
I'm really unhappy with the upgrade, the darker home screen images alters the coloring and detracts from the overall "light" feeling.

Apparently it's been an issue since 7.1, according to this: http://forums.imore.com/ask-question/282076-black-tint-across-top-my-lock-screen -wallpaper.html
The iPhone 6 is my first iPhone so I've never used iOS 7 before. Can anybody who has provide more info on this?

Why is the left side of my iMac screen darker than the other, and why does the display randomly go black?

My family has a late 2010 27" Imac. A few months ago, we noticed that the left side of the screen was somewhat darker than the right. As time went on, it continued to get worse and worse. When you turn the computer off for an hour or so, it helps the display out somewhat, but it eventually goes back to being darker on the left. About two months ago, the display started to go completely black. When the screen is black, everything still runs. My itunes library will still play, everything is functioning even though the screen is out. It has started to become more frequent. It is extremely annoying, almost unbearable. Since the one year warranty went out in November, what are we supposed to do about this?

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. It's a known issue with 27" iMacs and you might be eligible for replacement. I had mine replaced shortly after buying it. BTW, AppleCare's extended warranty is the cheapest insurance policy one can have for desktop machines. Too bad you missed the deadline.

How can I get this done? Please help me.

Many apps are not completely removed if the .app file is trashed (which is what I believe you've done so far).
If you don't want to dig through the system to manually remove library files, I recommend the use of AppCleaner, which does the job for you.

Hi An Iphone user,
If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
How do I delete a message?
To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

When I switch back to an ongoing application, from the switcher, it reverts to its own 'homepage' rather than the stay at the state/stage I left it at. How can I force applications to maintain the current state?

Lightroom displays files and exports files darker than the original or from Photoshop

Hello all.
I would first like to preface this by stating I am not technically minded, and I know nothing (or very little) of ICC profiles etc.
Though assume someone will attempt to tell me to do something with them in a really technical way which I won't understand, please treat me like a 4 year child in this regard.
I am using Lightroom 5.6 on a Mac running 10.9.4 I have CS6 Photoshop and have a Spyder 3pro calibration device and have linked all of the Adobe programs to the output of the calibration to "hopefully" ensure quality control.
I recently have been scanning analogue film and importing this into Lightroom 5. I have noticed that the file imported always looks darker than the original.
When I have exported from Lightroom them they look like crap.
There are no import additional settings as they are all turned off. I did that when I installed LR.
I have also noticed than whenever I imported a Raw file for some reason the original file would look great for a second then when clicked on would also change to something less appealing. But I digress.
So in attempt to show what is happening. I have created some images to illustrate my problem.
Also it does not matter if I turn the soft proofing on or off.
Lightroom Softproof on
Lightroom Softproof off
Lightroom vs Photoshop Histogram - Very similar
Left: File opened from Lightroom as the Original      Right: Original Photoshop File
Left: File opened from an Export from Lightroom      Right: Original Photoshop File
Any clues as this is very annoying and at the moment makes Lightroom 5 unusable.

Can you put one of your scans somewhere, like www.dropbox.com, and post a public download/share link to it?   I'd like to try one of the scans on my computer, though, to see if it does the same thing. You can crop an original down to something smaller that includes sky and trees like your screenshots show.
I am guessing there is a gamma problem or a profile problem somewhere. What Profile do the scans have embedded in them from the scanner? You can turn on the three Ask checkboxes in your color-settings and see what it says when you open an original in Photoshop.
My guess is that LR is using a default profile that doesn't match what Photoshop is using, but perhaps there is a gamma issue, too.
Have you tried opening one of the originals in the Camera Raw plug-in, perhaps from Bridge or just from PS / File / Open. You may have to set your PS Camera Raw settings to prefer ACR for TIFs. ACR and LR should be about the same in file handling so it'd be interesting to see if that is the case.

The time on the weather widget on my home screen does not match the phone time. Initially it did, but one day it started being 1 hour earlier than the phone time. I went into Settings/Date

The time on the weather widget on my home screen does not match the phone time. Initially it did, but one day it started being 1 hour earlier than the phone time. I went into Settings/Date & Time & now the time on the weather widget is correct, but the phone time is 1 hour earlier. Any suggestions??

Settings | Date and Time then select Automatic date & time, and Automatic time zone. In this way, the carrier time will populate the phone. If it's still going 1hour off, then I'd call VZW and inquire if they have a tower issue, specially if it happens in one particular place.
