There is a bug (yes, insect) crawling around INSIDE the glass of the monitor. Help?

It's a tiny bug, but it's been there for three days now. It must be able to get in and out. I thought these monitors were air sealed!

Trip to the Apple store would be the best idea. Attempting to open the screen and cleaning him out yourself may not be the best idea. Some of the displays do have a cover that's held in by magnets but if you're not certain how to take it off then the store is definitely the best option.
(I am quoting a reply from last year from T5GP5Ox32)

  • I have a problem with the connection i always have a call drop and there is a sound seems like something loose inside when tapping on the back of the iphone 4s

    does any one have this problem and what is the fix for this issue ... and why all of these issues with iphone 4s??!!!!!

    If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
    You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
    If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • I got the new late 2012 iMac 21.5 inch in February and just realised there are some weird wave lines behind the glass where the camera is. i can't seem to wipe it off because its on the inside and it is ruining the light control of the camera.

    Should i return it to apple and has anyone ever had this before? do i have to backup everything on my computer?

    Is it blurry? As mentoned how light is your room? Light begind you will make your face dark to people viewing. As to backing up yes an external hardrive, timemachine backs up your mac, there are other ways but they all require extenal storage, since time machione is built in use it, if anything happens to your mac without it you loose everything. Always have backups.

  • A bug is walking around inside my screen! Possible to clean?

    Yesterday I saw a bug walking around happy inside my 24". I got livid as I can do nothing about it but watching it crawling around inside.
    So, is there any way to clean this out? I've read posts stating the screen is possible to take of using some sucking device and pull it off (just like the iMac). Is it easy to put back in? Is this even true?
    I really can't live with this bug, even if it dies it will probably just stay there.
    And I thought it was air-tight.

    I have the same problem but more bugs.
    There is a type of fly in the uk that arrives with stormy weather. They are called 'Thunder flies' and are black, around 2 mm long by 0.2mm wide - do you know them? I have 3 of them walking around the inside of my 1 month old 24" screen. It is being collected tomorrow and then being cleaned and sent back to me. I have raised a concern regarding this problem if it happens outside warranty as I can see it happening again. At the moment is is not clear whether it is a seal problem (seal may have not been fitted correctly) or a design problem where there is an open path from the outside to the back of the screen.

  • Bug walking around inside monitor

    Don't know what to say about this. Looks like a gnat walking around inside. Can't take a screen shot of it. Hopefully it will fall to the bottom when it dies.

    My brand new iMac came with a Hair between the Glass and the LCD on the left down corner, I took to apple store and they clean it.
    Apple quality control is not that good nowadays, I heard several issues about this iMac27, and at least was not a dead pixel.
    A random hair and what you read on these forums isn't NOT indicative of the millions of machines Apple sells.

  • HT201328 Hi there, I purchased an Iphone 4S, it is currently locked with one carrier, I am in a contract with another carrier. I am trying to unlock the phone, but the Carrier says I have to activate it through them to unlock it. I so not want to do that,

    Hi there, my daughter purchased a used iPhone 4S from a local newspaper who has had it in the lost and found for nearly a year, and no one ever claimed it. It is locked with Telus, my daughter is a Virgin Mobile customer. Telus told me they will only unlock it if she activates it with them, she cannot do that as she is in a contract with Virgin. Is there anything I can do to get around this problem?

    Only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it. In
    this case, you must work with Telus. If they have a pay as you go
    plan, activate the iPhone on Telus that way and then after
    you meet whatever requirements Telus has, stop using Telus
    and move the iPhone to Virgin. Or sell the iPhone to someone
    who can use it on Telus.
    Telus is the only one who can unlock that iPhone.

  • I stop my IPad and the glass has spiderwebs. It's working but it is annoying. Is there a fix or do I need a new one

    I dropped my IPad and it now has spiderwebs in the glass.  The IPad works but it's annoying.  Is there any fix or do I have to replace it?

    I highly recommend this company. Quick turn around time and precission. iPad looked new again:

    You don't need a new one just the glass replaced.
    Good Luck!

  • Is it normal for there to be a gap between the glass and bezel on iPhone 5?

    As you can see, there's a really small gap between the glass and the rim (frame) whatever you want to call it. I can fit a piece of paper there, as u can see.
    It also collects dust. It's annoying.
    Is it normal and can it be replaced under the 1 year warranty? I bought the device just 2 weeks ago and haven't dropped it or anything.

    Is anyone else seeing this on their phone or is it just me?

  • Why there are fog between the display and the glass?

    Something weird happened to my iMac. I think there is a gap between the display and the glass at the front, right? Today I found some "fog" on the inner part of the glass. I think there are some water vapor in the gap and it condense to form some fog on the glass. I once tried to used a Hairdryer and blew some worm air on to the glass at the front. It works, the fog disappeared. However, after a while, the fog appears again! What can I do????

    According to one Mac genius I spoke with, the cleaning kit is used by repair techs at the Apple Store. Not sure if they sell it since the inside of the glass display is not user-serviceable. The kit I was told has, among other items, a plastic film that peels off the last bit of debris from inside the glass. Check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frfzESC-ahM

    Fixing up some logic around pauseWhenHidden (there were some bugs) and also changing some logic around enabling/disabling.  Also fixing a small documentation bug on VideoPlayer2.scaleMode.
    When a video component (or one of its ancestors) becomes disabled, the video pauses.  When it becomes re-enabled, we do not play the video.  This behavior is baked in to VideoDisplay and does not depend on the pauseWhenHidden flag.

    Thanks Erik,
    If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
    As an aside....
    I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...)  were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

  • When I resize the font for the Page Labels on the tab control in LabVIEW 7, the Increment/Decrement size gets messed up. Is there a solution to this problem or is this a bug?

    I have noticed in LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1 that when the text in the page labels display is enlarged, that the arrows enlarge but the top arrow enlarges more then the small arrow but then when you decrease the text size, the arrows stay remain large. This is not a problem in 6.1 because the arrows aren't available. Is there a work around for this bug or do I have to use small text for these page label arrows to look right?

    I must admit that I've never used the page labels display and it does look like a bug. You can fix it however. Select the tab control and choose Advanced>Customize. In the control editor, select the page label control and do the same thing. You should be in the control editor for the numeric control and then you can go to edit mode and enlarge the decrement arrow to make it the same size as the increment.

  • Bug walking around inside my monitor

    When I first told my son, he thought I was referring to some type of s/w bug. Then I showed him a small gnat-sized insect roaming around the monitor behind the layer that the image is projected onto. I don't know much about the LCD technology or design, but I doubt insects have much to do with it.
    Has anyone else seen or heard of a similar experience with the iMac monitors?
    iMac 20"/2.16 GHz/2GB/250 GB HD   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I recently had a small insect on my screen. I thought it was on the outside of the screen, so smushed it. It was smushed inside the layers and now I have an ugly spot on my monitor. I took it to the local Apple store where I have a ProCare membership and had them perform an annual checkup, specifically mentioning the spot. They gave it back the next day saying they couldn't do anything about it. Believe me, I don't keep any food or any thing which would attract them any where near my computer - I'm very reverent about that. So what can I do? I'm about to take the 'puter apart and see if I can blow it out. Think the Apple guys gave up too soon. This spot on my bright screen sticks out like a sore thumb!!! Anyone taken theirs apart to try something like this?

  • I have an Iad2 and ever since ios6-there are issues.I get occasional lock-ups and have to reboot. The WSJ app freezes when running their videos to the end. The only work-around is to stop the video before it's over. Worse than windows me !!!!!

    My Ipad2 worked perfectly before ios6 upgrade. It now freezes occasionally and I have to reboot to get it to work. Also the WSJ app will now freeze if I try and run one of their videos that is imbedded in the article. My only work-around is to stop (press done) before the end of the video or I have to do a total reboot. The problems remind me of Windows ME . Will Apple resolve these issues or become more like Microsoft. Hopefully there will be a restore button in the future like Microsoft was forced to do because a lot of upgrades are just terrible. Am I crazy or are there other people having the same issues with ios6, or could this just be a coincidence and my ipad2 is starting to fail just when ios6 arrives ?

    I know this will not help but, the bluetooth headset I purchased for my wife works great and it pairs with our car and our sound bar in the livingroom (Motorola Droid Razr) 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US
    However I did not upgrade over the air but from a android web site and placed it on my external sd card. I believe this made the difference in why we had no issues and upgraded functionality has been great.
    Please note when I mention these bluetooth devices I mean the Razr connects with no problems.
    It also had no internet issues and none of the problems others have complained about in other threads.
    unfortunately when you say thousands have these issues I cannot say that is accurate. The hope is when large numbers of owners have updated to the Jelly Bean and are complaining inmase then Motorola will issue a patch to verizon to get out to the affected users.
    Of course now that Google owns Motorola Mobility and has laid off loads of workers it may never issue an os patch.

  • Is there any way to keep a photo/text box  where you placed it after it is checked as inline, I have text wrapping around many photos-Pages seem to move the photos to the middle of the page and that will not do for my project.

    I have a book I want to sell as an EPUB when done...only one problem I got the message when doing so: " floating objects aren't supported in ePub format" So I found out by checking inline format that will work but it moves the text box and photo to where it want to go and not where I want it to be...this will not work so how do I make it stay where I place it and still save without the error of floating object issues.... In addition, when I let it go where it wants to go it lets me stay as an ePub and takes me to iTunes producer ( I have my books on iTunes made with iBooks Author) and is this right...I want to make it ready as an ePub not for Apple but for other eBook readers... Can anyoe help? Thanks

    I copied text & paisted it and then draged the 3 photos from the file...then clicked on the photo then clicked the inline boxon tool bar nexed to floating one and that is how I did it
    I do not know what you mean "cut & paist"  how do I get the photo in from my picter folder if I do not drag it to the page in Pages? 
    I went to my photo folder and copied a photo and paisted the photo on the top left part of the page and it went there but there was no text to the right of photo...I could crop the photo to what ever size but no text to the right of photo...
    This is just too big of a mess of a program as it should be easier then this,,,I hav e 300 photos in this project and would have to re-paist them all...that is nuts...
    I see the button to the right of inline and floating that has 6 [lace to have the photo but the text does not float around the photo...
    If this is what your talking about this very little freedom in my page layout as I need it to let me place it where I need it to be and the wrap the text...
    There has to be an easier way to get my books ready for other formats other that Apple's iPad...iBooks Author was way eisier to make ready for iTunes...Love that program!!!
    Want my books for sale on all the other formats and was told by Apple Pages whould do it...
    I must be be out to lunch or the designers at Apple are ???

  • HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

    There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

    I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
    As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
