The screen dim on 24 inchs imac

The screen dim before sleep on an Intel-based Mac's built-in display, even if the Energy Saver setting "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep" is disabled. This setting may no longer be in effect after restarting the computer.
any body has a fix for this.
see the bug description at.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304092

Yes, I do, I am hoping for a permanent fix from Apple, but in the mean time I have a script which will run each time you reboot to disable the screen dim.
I have posted this as a separate thread.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Sometimes when taking a pic on photobooth, then the screen dims.....reboot

sometimes when i take a picture on photo booth it counts to 3 and then right when its supposed to take the picture the screen dims and i can't do anything and i have to hold the power button to shut it off and then restart it.

First, I would suggesting resetting PRAM and NVRAM. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
Now try taking the picture again and see if it cuts out.
If you still experience the shutdown, then it may be time to try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US)
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
Press the Power button to restart the computer.
Let us know if either of these help to resolve your situation.

Is there a setting for iphone 4 to have the screen dim to black while on a call?

is there a setting for iphone 4 to have the screen dim to black while on a call?

If you put the phone to your ear, the proximity sensor darkens the display automatically. If you are just holding the phone in your hand or something similar, the proximity sensor is not activated.

How to make the screen dim while music is playing

I can't get the screen to dim while playing music on my iPod Nano. It used to be that the screen dimmed while music was playing until it lit up when I hit a button to change volume, track, etc. This preserved the battery life. It seems that I inadvertantly changed some setting just a few days ago because I saw the apple logo appear on the screen and since then have not been able to figure out how to make the screen dim while playing music. I think the fact that the screen is staying on while I'm listening now is making the battery out very quickly. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you!

Hello ZingMA,
You need to reset the backlight timer.
Go to settings, general, and backlight. You should be able to set if from there. I am assuming you have a 6th gen nano. If you have a different model the user manuals have the steps. Found here:
iPod nanos
Hope this helps.

Can I wirelessly display the screen of my 15 inch retina Macbook Pro to a Thunderbolt display ?

Can I wirelessly display (like via bluetooth) the screen of my 15 inch, late 2013, Retina Macbook Pro, to a thunderbolt display ?

They can fix it, but not for free. Macbook repairs supposedly are classified into 3 tiers by an Apple Rep, I for least amount of damage and III for most. I have a dent in the corner of my MBP and it would require new housing to get it fixed. $450 (tier I) or ~half the cost of a Macbook Air on education discount... HA.
If it doesn't affect your everyday computing, I wouldn't worry about it. It's awful, but welcome to the club

Post a screen shot if you can by pressing cmd+shift+4 for only a certain section or cmd+shift+3 for a full screen shot.

How do you change the settings you have the screen dim before it shuts off

I know on older OS the screen would dim before the computer shuts off. I was wondering how to do that on Maverick. It doesn't seem to come up on display settings or energy saver.
Is it not on Maverick or have I not found it yet?
Thank you

This is all I have, I do not seem to see an option for what you are saying

Wavy lines on the screen in Vista with 20" imac

I am having a problem in Vista on a 20" imac (mid 2007). On dark screens I can see wavy lines going across the screen. I have tried updating the drivers but that didn't change anything. This doesn't happen in OS X so I don't think that it is a hardware issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

If they do, you'll probably find them in the Boot Camp forums:

White Border around the screen? 1/2 inch...

I have a white border around the screen, very noticable with any dark background...
Whats the deal with this?
Could this cause the display brightness to have to be turned up all the way just to get a good solid picture...?
This is not acceptable?

The lack of information, feedback, confirmation, etc that apple is famous for is exactly why I am deathly afraid of ordering the new 17" mbp. I have been stealing my girlfriends' peecee to catch up on emails and websites since I sold my old 15" mbp a couple months ago.
I was just about to pull the trigger and buy the new 17" mbp until the "delay", again no specific information given out by apple. Some people were charged secondary charges and had ship dates of the day of the announcement of the delay - which would logically dictate that there were plenty of machines that had to be un-packed, cracked open and "updated". So with all the unibody related issues, all the 9600 related issues, and all the screen issues of the 15" led, I am not sure i'll be able to play guinea pig for apple... yet again...

Bottom line, I'm hoping for a C86 or C87 to show up. Maybe that's hoping for too much.

A click anywhere on the screen causes a spinning ball. iMac 27inch

We get a spinning ball when we click on anything on the screen. We rebooted. We disconnected periferals. We disabled TimeMachine. Still spinning ball. Very slow bootup of any app.

The SBBOD can be caused by many things so it's a little difficult to troubleshoot. I would recommend starting by restarting the computer in Safe Mode. This will clear some caches, it's possible one or more have become corrupted. If that doesn't do it there is an excellent article that lists trouble shooting steps, the cause for your problem is probably located in it. The article is Spinning Beach Ball of Death .
Common causes are a too full HD, failing HD, not enough RAM, a process that is taking too much %CPU etc. If you still can't find the cause after using these tools you will need to bring the machine into an Apple Store or AASP to be diagnosed.

Half the screen on my 2010 27" imac just went grey today. I just bought it six weeks ago. Is this a common problem. I am getting a headache ... grey

Half the screen on my 2010 27" mac just went grey today. I bought the computer six weeks ago. Is this a common problem with the monitor?

I think there's some provision for a home visit if you have AppleCare. Don't know about the standard warranty. Maybe you can arrange to ship it? Give them a call on Tuesday. Bummer.

I am unable to mirror the screen from a Mid 2011 iMac using AirPlay?

All I get is a black screen.
I am running OS10.10.
EVERYTHING is up to date.
Both are on the same wifi network.
iTunes WILL play to the AppleTV 3d generation.
AppleTV is up to date also.
When i open the icon on the menu bar, I can see Mirror iMac and Extend Desktop.
Only Extend Desktop can be checked.
I have restarted the Netgear R7000 router (up to date), the AppleTV, and the iMac.
No luck.
Thanks in advance.

Is anyone having this problem? iTunes will play from the iMac (10.10) to the Apple TV (7.0.1) video and audio no problem iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 (8.1) also. I can NOT select Mirror iMac at all.
