The left side of my iMac screen is greyed, like a shadow.

It looks like the display is damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

  • 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.

  • Display discoloration on the left side of my iMac monitor.

    I recently notice a dim discoloration on the left side of my iMac monitor. From top to bottom and about 1/8 of the screen. Kinda like a faint burn but has not a distinguishable image just seem to be wavy lines up and down and starts happening as soon as I bootup. Is this common and will my applecare cover a replacement?

    I'm not even sure why you posting on a help forum when you have AppleCare, the first thing I'd recommend you do is   pick up the phone and call AppleCare, describe the problem and they will advise how to proceed. It's that simple, follow the directions they provide and the issue should be handled.

  • 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.

    iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier
    Not possible.  Which OS is currently installed on your iMac? 
    If your iMac came w/DVDs when you originally purchased it, run the Apple Hardware Test and post back the results. 
    If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them.  Let them deal w/it. 

  • Line on the left side of my screen

    Hi, i have a 2.4ghz macbook white, it fell from me recently but before that i noticed an almost invisible line on the left side of my screen, it wasnt broken or anything, after it fell the line became more visible, it turned into green and sometimes two lines, but now it is a thick white line that can cover 1 letter...
    i ran the hardware test and an error occurred 4SNS/1/40000000 TCOD-100.125
    Thanks for your help

    I had line(s) on my screen that would not go away and I only found one solution. Well, they would go away when I tried the Genius Bar (the only bar I hang out in these days). Anyhow, the lines were vertical 80%-90% of the time no matter what I was doing. Mostly one, sometimes 2, rarely 3. They even faded in and out when I was just sitting there! I took it to the apple store once and I couldn't show it to them. I took it home to see if it could get worse. Fearing it will eventually just fail as soona s my wrranty expires in teh end fo Feb, I took it in again. They are going to replace the logic board, but they have to order it then replace it; which takes a couple of weeks at least.
    So, the only solution was to replace the board. Oh, and if you can't prove it to them because the iMac seems to know the "doctor's office", just take a photo of the screen problem and take it in. That will be evidence enough.
    Applecare is great!

  • My vertical column of bookmarks down the left side of my screen has disappeared and I need to find a way to get it back in the same place.

    This is purely a lay-out issue. We used to be able to choose to permanently display our bookmarks vertically down the left side of the screen, and I want to continue to be able to do so. My bookmarks are not lost; I know they are in my library. But the system doesn't seems to allow me to leave them on permanently down the left side. Please help. I have Windows 7 64-bit and the latest version ofFirefox.

    Do you mean that the bookmarks sidebar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks) gets disabled?

  • How to I make pop up windows go back to the left side of the screen when they are moving to the right?

    Whenever I click on a link, a new window pops up. That's good, that's what I wanted. They've always opened on the left side of the screen. However, they are now opening in the middle of the screen. This has happened before and the screen eventually opened completely on the right. Last time this happened, I ended up having to delete something. I don't remember what, but it solved the issue. Please help!

  • When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes on my PC, a screen comes up that has the music square icons with music notes in the squares.  Not the home screen I am used to seeing that shows all categories on the left side.

    When I plug my iPhone into PC to sync, I am getting a screen with music squares with notes in the icon.  I was getting the iTunes home sync screen with the categories on the left side.  And it had options along the top as sync items.  It will sync, but I have no idea where the iTunes screen went. 
    I also will get an error message that says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected".  But, it does back up and it is connected.  Any ideas out there as to what is going on and how I could fix this?  Thanks. 

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • The top button on my iphone 5 stopped working recently.. Well it works but barely at all if every. Most of the time it only locks the screen if I click on the left side of the button. Also my Camera causes a blue pixelated spot on pictures I take.

    The top button on my phone recently stopped working. Well sometimes. Majority of the time if I click it hard enough on the left side of the button it will lock the screen... Otherwise it doesnt work at all anymore. Also the camera appears to be placing a blue pixel on pictures I take. Its annoying. What should I do?

    It's completely situational. Without being able to directly compare the "scratch" on the original poster's iPhone with your iPhone, what gaamcc had happen could not be extrapolated to guess what Apple may do in your situation. It will depend entirely on what the Apple technician diagnoses after examining your iPhone. He/she may decide that any damage is strictly cosmetic and didn't have any connection with the problem you're taking your iPhone in for, or he/she may diagnose the problem as stemming from user damage. You'll just have to see when you go to the Apple Store.
    Regards.

  • Where is the photo tab on itunes? My device is not listed on the left side of my screen and there is no photos tab on the right of my screen. I want to delete photo albums that were synced through itunes to my ipad 3.

    I synced several photo albums to my iPad 3  from my computer through iTunes. Now, I would like to remove them and have discovered that they cannot be removed except through using iTunes. Instructions that I've read say that once the device is connected to and selected from the list in iTunes, select the Photo Tab and then the folder that contains the photos etc.  I never get that far because I do not have a Photo Tab to select in iTunes. How do I find this illusive tab so that I can delete these albums that are merely duplications of other pictures and are just occupying space. I need to get rid of them. Can anyone help me find the photo tab. I cannot move past that step until I do. Also, my device is not listed on the left side as stated in the instructions. It's in the bar on the upper right area of my screen and is automatically selected when connected. I am using the current version 11.1 for iTunes and IOS 7 on my iPad 3, if that helps.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

  • My scrollbar unexpectedly has moved to the left side of the screen (only in Firefox), and I don't know how to move it back

    my scrollbar has unexpected moved to the left side of the screen in stead of the right side, and I don't know how to move it back. This only occurs in Firefox.

    Set the pref layout.scrollbar.side to ''2'' to place the scroll bar at the right side.
