There is a black dot in the center of my new slate ipod touch 5g!

Is it just the touch screen since, I know resistive touchscreens have small dots and a huge on the center since that is how the technology works. It doesn't look like a piece of dust because it is circular and slightly larger than the itouches pixels. I'm always conciously focused so this dot can really be a bother. I didn't get apple care but I just bought it recently. Is it possible for me to get the ipod touch replaced? Or at least explain to me what this black dot really is.

I have not heard of theat problem befor.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective Apple will replace it at no cost.

There is alittle lock symbol on the upper rite side of my ipod touch? what does that mean?

there is alittle lock symbol with a circle around it,and it is in the upper right corner of my ipod touch?? and i cannot sync my music to my ipod

simple... that means your oriantation is locked... turning your ipod.. will not make the screen turn.. you can change this by accessing the multitask menu by double clicking your home button and then scrolling to the left... clicking on the button with a rotating arrow will unlock orientation...
hope this helps...

Do what I did, click it & find out. For me it seems to be a way to move or navigate in the table.

An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.

I believe your only option will be to get Apple to replace the screen for you, which won't be cheap. If the machine is still covered under warranty, you could try to push the case that the screen must be defective for a bug to get in there. Apple has been known to do free out-of-warranty service in some pretty unbelievable circumstances, that that is at their discretion, so be very pleasant and polite so they'll like you and want to help you out. But be prepared to have to pay for the repair.
Good luck!

What is this black dot on the side of my MacBook Pro? What is it for? How do I get to it?

I have a MacBook Pro (2011 Model & 13") and I was wondering . . . What is this black dot on the side of my MacBook Pro? What is it for and how do I get to it?
P.S. I feel stupid asking this question . . .. . because I know those who answer will know exactly about it and what to do with it . .

To be honest when I first got it, I thought I broke that hole . . . see I assumed it was a button to eject the CD slot, and I managed to either push it in deep enough, or smash it off. . .. . I once got a tooth pick and fiddled around in there in atempt to find something. . ..

There's a soft white dot on the screen of my new MacBook Pro Retnia

There's a soft white dot on the screen of my new MacBook Pro Retnia That is visible especially when the background is light. It isn't a sharp dot but rather a soft blurred looking dot. Does anybody else have something like this or does anyone know what it is? I'm thinking its s dead pixel but it doesn't look like one that i've seen on other lcd displays.
I set my desktop background to a 50% grey and that's how I found it. Now that I did, i can't stop looking at it. I tried to take a pic of it its in the center of the photo. Its not easy to see on the photo but, its very easy to see on the display. Oh and its not dirt or something on the surface. Not sure if i should go to the genius bar on it. I am worried that it may get worse. Any input is appreciated.

I also had this problem, same make and model and specifications as you have. Brought it into Apple and also called them about. They stated they have not heard of this yet although I find that hard to believe with the # of cases on this being reported. Must have been a bad lot or batch of Retina MBP's that were made and this got by quality control. But they were okay with giving me a new one on the spot.
As you said, doesn't show on darks but on whites; oh boy it sure does and it is annoying on photo editing and documents where white is all you see; about 1.5mm x 1mm big and bright like a little star. Very hard to detect at first unless you have the white background up as wallpaper.
I sent my MBP back for a replacement and told them I did not want a repair on a computer that was less than 3 weeks old. Stuff happens and no one is perfect so long as Apple and their resellers stand by and make amends by issuing new MBP's. I did not buy mine via Apple direct this time, but rather used a authorized Apple reseller and fortunately they agreed to issue a new one. Keeping fingers crossed.

I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page. There is also an oblong black box

Hi - I'm not only having trouble waking up my MBP from sleep and having to restart repeatedly which is a pain in itself, but now when it restarted, I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page. There is also an oblong resizable black box sitting on top of anything. The content changes depending on the actions I take. Right now it says, "You are currently on a close button. To click this button, which closes the current window, press Control-Option-Space." Right now I'm open in Firefox, but it doesn't matter if only Finder is open, it's still there. I've tried closing all my applications and restarting and I also reset the PRAM. It won't go away. It's probably something simple, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Janet

Thanks so much. I saw this on "desktop strangeness" immediately after I posted and tried to retract my question. It worked perfectly. I'm not sure how VoiceOver got turned on unless something happened when I was trying to wake up the computer. I open the lid and it flashes whatever is open and then the screen goes black and I can't wake it up. Still looking for the resolution to this.

[Solved] On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening.

On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening. It's like I should click where they should be, not where they are. The exact same problem happens on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer. It also happens on some games I installed like, "Crysis".

Nevermind, I solved the problem by downloading this:

Try:
- 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.

there is a Black rectangle on the middle of the screen on the film I've just rented. is this a new thing?

I had the same thing when renting Gatsby last night. I have the original Apple tv, I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it (like a memory thing). I reported the problem and Apple said they will refund.
I also had trouble a few movie rentals ago with a movie, the closed caption would not turn off and wouldn't continue either it just stayed on the same few words for the whole movie.

Proximity Sensor. It's what turns the screen off when you're talking on the phone.

Installed a new battery but there is a black X on the battery icon

My battery my Early 2011 MacBook Pro was expanding so I bought a new battery and replaced it myself.
I turned my MacBook Pro on and it works, but there is a black X on the battery icon. When I check the battery information on the System Profiler, it says there is no battery installed, BUT, when I press ALT and click on the battery icon in the top right corner, it says "Condition: Normal".
Can someone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix this?

Thank you BUT this would be for a completely different Mac. My MacBook Pro is the type where there is no removable battery on the outside. I had to open mine up to change the battery.
I bought the new battery on eBay and am going to get it resolved with the seller, and if he doesn't refund me or replace it, then I will claim the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
Hopefully someone has advice for me still.
