There's a green dot on my sreen

I just bought my ibook g4 two weeks ago and i found the screen defective.
I sent it the back to the shop where i bought and they can't do anything about it, I was even asked to get out of the shop " MAC CENTER" by the sales person in charge. Its not worth buying ibook g4.

Don't downgrade apple just because you have ONE defect in a computer that you bought from a 3rd party vendor. You're going to have problems anywhere you go, not just apple. Like suggested, contact apple support or head out to the store if you can. If you don't do anything that deserves it, they aren't going to kick you out of the store...

Why is there a small green dot on middle of macbook pro screen display

There is a green dot on my screen that always appears when I'm on my desktop. Also, it sometimes appears ranodmely when using other applications... for exapmle: Safari, Microsoft Word, iTunes, GTA, etc... Just randomely it will show and it won't go away. I've tried cleaning the screen with the cloth that came in the macbook pro box. Is it a software issue or a display issue, or is there a burnt pixel? I have the new Macbook Pro 2012.

It's under warranty. Take it in to get it looked at. It's not normal.

3 green dots on my image from the built in camera is this normal?

Whenever I use skype for video calling, Ichat, or photo both there are 3 green dots on my image. They're just anoying and can be seen by the people I'm video chatting with. Is this normal? I can see that beside the camera there are dots one on each side. Are they BOTH suppose to light up green when the camera is in use? Mine, only the right one lights up when in use. Is this something that I should be worried about? Thanks!

Hi,
If you have one of the very newest Macs and the Manual refers to the Internal Camera as "Face Time" one then it could be capable of HD in some apps.
I have a USB External camera in use with my G4 Computer
In this pic I tilted it to capture an Overhead light as well as the top of my head.
The Pic was taken about 7.45 in the evening (I am about 100 miles west of London so it is still quite light outside).
As you can see the Lens cannot cope with the Brightness of the overhead bulb (it is only 50watts) and visual distortions appear as well.
Not only are there the larger flare effects but between the red and blue arrows there are also radiating white lines towards my head.
Your Screen will reflect what is in the room.
How glossy it is will effect the amount you notice.
With a darker background you are likely to notice that you can see your own reflection.
Tilting the screen will move your reflection up or down and possibly at some angles you will not be able to see yourself (you would "drop off" the bottom as you close the lid on a laptop for instance)
If I place a light behind my screen so my face is lit up when it is darker here then it reflects off my glasses and people cannot see my eyes.
I can imagine the case if you wear glasses and have the screen at a certain angle then the green Indicator light is being reflected back to the Camera and is showing up in the pic.
This would certainly "Drop Off" the bottom when you tilt the Screen further.
There may be something that has roundish surface that is behind you that is reflecting the green of the indicator light.
This is a pic of an Effect called Frosted Glass
It is supposed to look like the sort of glass your get in a bathroom.
I post it so you know the type of glass I mean.
My front door, which is close to my computer, has this type of glass but also with a wood effect pattern to it.
this has many ridges and grooves.
At times this produces prism type effects on the walls (I have my computer positioned so they don't get on the screen)
I can imagine that a similar effect may happen from a light that has a galss shade or one of those with coloured glass beads making up the shade is scattering green light in this case all round the room and you just happen to see three of them in the video feed picture.
My thought in the earlier post was an effect from the bevelled edge of a mirror that might be scattering light.
Other causes
You mention a light sensor.
My MacBook Pro has one somewhere that controls when the Keyboard backlight needs to light up.
I am not sure where it is on mine.
It may be that it has been repositioned on newer computers to the top of the screen.
It may also be something to do with the camera as it maybe HD, to actually indicate there is not enough light to do a HD pic.
However I can't see any indication of this in the Specs sheet for a MacBook Pro.

Black Macbook : GREEN DOT DISCOLORATION

I bought my black macbook just a little more than a week ago. Its been good to me...but yesterday, i simply closed it to put it to sleep - i went to sleep - woke up and there was a green dot on the bottom of the frame of the screen, just left of the M of the "MacBook" logo. I would imagine that Apple will claim this as a cosmetic issue and will not take any measures to help me out - but just to check, has ANYONE heard of this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

I had this problem after owning a black macbook for three days (I returned this macbook because of some other problems it had and exchanged it with a White macbook). I had no idea where it came from - it suddenly appeared on the wrist area of my macbook - very small green dots. I tried to clean them, but couldn't get rid of them. I thought it is more of the issue of paint peeling rather than discoloration. But who knows?

I have been using apple tv for 2+ years and i just purchased several new shows that began in Sept 2013. In the past, episodes I have not yet watched were marked with a green dot, but now that dot is not there.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Flickering green dots... What's the final answer?

Hi, I jgot in my 30" monitor 2 weeks ago, but ..waited to find on ebay an AGP video card. Spent far more than I should have to get it, and now have flickering green dots everywhere!
The screen is perfect when directly connected to the monitor. When I use a dual link DVI extension I get them. I've changed out the extension and still get them.
I tried all the tricks I could find... blowing out the connectors, taking off of sleep mode, changing number of recent items (I'm not sure what this refers to) from 0 to 10, going into and out of sleep mode, plugging and unplugging, changing resolution and display from 256 - 1000's and millions.....etc.
All in all, something fixed it once! Then they came back.
Frustrating. So... Is there a real answer?
I'd include a photo, but I'm not sure how to add this as an attachment?
I've put a link to my .mac account here:
http://homepage.mac.com/robertlemke/PhotoAlbum3.html
Thanks in advance!
Robert

OK, I think I solved the problem!
The extension I needed was a basic female - female Dual link DVI
Since I needed a male - female, the store sold me a gender converter. I have since bought a dedicated M/F dual link and it's working. I believe that even though I changed out the gender converter twice, it was just not up to carrying the bandwith needed for this type of signal.
The problem is now solved and Altex took back the extension and converter, no questions asked!
I bought the cable through a local mac dealer.
Good luck to all!

Strange Green Dots/Brighter areas

I just started having a display issue with my 2011 Macbook Pro. Patches of the screen show small, faint green dots spaced in an even pattern. They don't appear in screenshots, and appear faint even when the screen is black, but are nonetheless visible. In addition to this, there's two "splothces" near the middle of the screen that seem to be brighter than the rest, which is especially noticeable when the screen is white. Has anyone experienced similar issues?

Sounds like a hardware issue; I'd bet on the LCD display going bad. Take it to be fixed asap -- I hope it's still under warranty...

I don't have any icons in facebook anymore, faces or message notices or green dot letting me know who is and isn;t on line

I noticed last week that when I was in facebook from Mozilla/Firefox I had no green dots showing in the chat list. These green dots let me know who is and who isn't on line. The message board, friend reqests do not show. I used to have icons on that. And if I:m in chat and I add a happy face they no longer show.

Report packaging materials to authorities (Green Dot)

Hello,
What support, e.g report, is there in R/3 to see the quantities of packaging materials that have been shipped to customers as part of the products sold during a time period? (This has to be reported regularly to authorities, called "Green Dot")
Best regards,
Magnus Berglind

To display the returnable packaging stock situation for several or one particular customer, proceed as follows:
Choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Inventory management on the main menu screen.
Choose Environment ® Stock ® Stock overview.
Enter your selection criteria and enter the special stock indicator V. Then select all fields in the Select display levels section.
Choose Program ® Execute.
Position the cursor on the Returnable packaging stock at customer line and choose Edit ® Choose.
The system displays the returnable packaging stock of the selected material currently with the customer.
hope this helps

IPhone 5 Camera - green dot in bright light

Hey,
I just noticed a prominent green light on all pictures that I took with my iPhone 5 in bright light conditions - sun or articifial light came from the front.
Changing the angle, as suggested to have a workaround purple fringing, wouldn't help and is not helping at all as the green dot appears on the very same position each time.
Who else is facing the green dots?

Same problem here, today I took some 20 photos of a cotton field. The pics were beautiful EXCEPT there is a very prominent green light in the bottom middle of more than half the photos? Just counted, the green light shows on 13 out of 21 pictures?! They're taken at different angles but the dang green dot is pretty noticeable on more than half of them? Some pics were taken at almost identical angle and location yet one pic will have the dot while the other won't??
Didn't know how to post pics here but this thread shows what I'm talking about:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4384663
Those dots are very annoying, destroyed otherwise gorgeous photos for me.
Is there a solution to this besides using different angles? (Mine were and still >50% of pics had the green dot?). I can tell this is an awesome camera, the pictures when there's no dot in them are gorgeous. BUT, should I be planning on deleting half of my photos from now on? I'm concerned... :-(

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad

A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

Power Mac G4 having video problems -green dots and pixelated lines

Yesterday my Power Mac G4 running OS X (10.5.1) started having unusual video problems. I started to notice green dots on the screen where the mouse pointer had been or where application windows had recently been. The severity of the video symptoms seem to vary - from a cluster of green pixels to slight amount of fuzz in text.
I'm thinking that this is a symptom of a problem with the video card starting to fail but I haven't ruled out the Apple Studio Display either. While the Mac was still under Apple Care support, I did have the video card replaced a few years ago due to symptoms that were much more severe than this.
Should I get a new video card? Could it be the display at fault? How expensive would it be to take it in to the local Apple store for diagnosis/repair?

Apple replaced my phone but the problem continues
Tips?
Thanks for your reply

Hi Janeag,
If you open the compass app for the first time it will ask you to calibrate it, once this has been done picture issue should hopefully be resolved.
hope this helps!
