Theres a tiny white dot on my screen and it won't go away?

I want to know how to get the tiny, cloudy, white dot on my screen to go away. It's directly to the left of the center of the screen. I have restarted my 2014 brand new macbook air and it won't go away. Please help.

What do I do when I have a red dot on my voicemails and it won't go away and no one can leave me voicemails

There is a red dot in my voicemails and when I click on voicemails it calls it and says to type in my 10digit phone number and when I do it says it's not set up and I don't know how to do that. But then my friend called me and it stopped ringing on my phone and said I had a missed call from her but it kept ringing on hers. I don't know what to do!

Contact your carrier. Voice Mail is a carrier function, and setup and management differs from carrier to carrier.

When I try to open a picture from email all I get is a yellow mozilla square in the middle of my screen and it won't go away unless I restart and I can't view the picture.

Why can't I open pictures sent to me in email. All I get is a yellow mozilla box in the middle of my screen that won't go away unless I restart.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Red dot on phone icon and voicemail won't go away

hi there. Since early today I've had a blank red dot stuck on my phone icon on my phone. Same on the voicemail icon. This happened after deleting a voicemail I got earlier.
However the the icons are now stuck there and after switching my phone on and of I get a message saying New Voicemails. There is no voicemails though and none saved.
ive ive tried switching on and off, left myself another message and then deleted it but I'm getting no joy. Anyone got any ideas?

Please check the information in the following thread - How do I make the new voicemail notification (red dot) go away on iPhone 4?
I know the thread started a few years ago, but the suggestions might help you. Let us know.

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.

ATV 3 white dots on TV screen, why?

Hi, so I just got my ATV 3 around 3 weeks back and have encountered the same problem since the first setup. I notice there are a lot of tiny white dots on my TV screen, sometimes it's extremely obvious sometimes it's just a tiny bit. The video settings are all set to Auto. I tried reducing the TV resolution from the auto setting 1080p 50hz to 1280 x 1024 60hz then the white dots disappear at once. I wonder what has caused this to happen? HDMI cable? TV? Internet connection? My TV supports full HD which is why I hope my ATV could provide video output of 1080p. Any geniu

Well, I doubt it's the internet. Makes no sense to be that connect.
Do these dots also show up when just looking at the menu?

It is probably one of the proximity sensors or the auto brightness sensor.

Try a different usb cable, try a different usb port, disable any security or anti virus software. Try a different computer.

My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.

Is there a way to view the code screen and the design screen in separate windows

Is there a way to view the code screen and the design screen in separate windows instead of connected. I would like to have the code on one monitor and the design on another

You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.
Window > Code Inspector or F10

My macbook pro was recently returned to me after having been lost. When I turned it on and connected to the internet at home, the activation lock activated. I put my password in and the macbook went to a white apple screen and now won't do anything else. How do I get it running again?

Take it to an Apple Store. Take proof of purchase with you.
