Top 1/3 of screen darker then the rest.. 23" HD
A few weeks ago the top 1/3 of screen got darker then the rest.. It seemed to go in and out from 100% to dark for about a week and now it is just darker. The monitor is still usable but it gives me a head ache after a while of working.
Can this be repaired by apple? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks and happy holidays....
Happened to me and I thought it also was the upper cfl tube, it got progressively darker by the week. Instead of changing the cfl tube, I swapped the inverter board from an exact model that was used for parts. I figured that an inverter change was much easier to do and it was and the problem was solved, works like new. Sometimes it is not always the tubes that go bad, the inverter board is divided into 2 sections, one for the lower tube and one for the upper one that supply the tubes the voltage. If voltage is weak, so are the tubes. If the power button on the monitor flashes it is almost a sure sign of inverter problem. Tubes and inverter are really not that difficult to change, just the right size allen keys and a philips screwdriver and a little patience. Check out moniserv.com for schematics and parts. They also have some very useful suggestions.

Hp Pavilion 23xi monitor brightness in bottom right corner is darker then the rest of the screen
Since yesterday the brightness in the corner in the bottom right is much lower then the rest of the screen.
How do I fix this?Hello @PieterVdw,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that the bottom right corner of your HP Pavilion 23xi monitor is darker than the rest of the monitor and you are seeking assistance in fixing it. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. If it does I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

The top of my iPod touch screen is darker than the rest of my screen after the newest update?
So today I turned on my iPod touch (5th generation) and it said there was a software update available. I updated it with no problem, but after the update I noticed almost half of my screen was darker than the rest at the top. (Posting screenshots below) I don't know if it's supposed to be like that because of the update or not. Also, I have a little blue dot (assuming it's a 'dead' or 'stuck' pixel) on my screen that was there when I bought the ipod BRAND NEW on February 13th of this year and I'd like to know if that may be affecting it? Any help would be appreciated!
The darker top screen:
Using apps and Safari the screen is normal:Hi iBridgetx3,
You can try several things:
1. Go to Settings>Wallpapers & Brightness, and turn the Brightness up or down
2. Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increase Contrast, and play with the three options available there - I turned off Reduce Transparency, and turned on Darken Colors and Reduce White Point, because I like the color gradation on the wallpaper on my Home screen. But if you don't like it, then make sure Darken Colors is off, and try that with Reduce White Point both off and on to see what you like best
There are a lot of new settings specifically designed to address the variety of problems that people were having with the initial iOS 7 "look". Play around with them. You will probably find a combination that will suit you.

When I touch my iPad screen to execute an app, then the screen goes dark then the app icon reappears. The app does not execute. Any thoughts?
Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My ipod(ipod touch 3rd generation) is telling me to plug it into itunes but when i did that my computer said i needed to type my passcode into my ipod before i could do anything, but i cant go to any screen other then the one it is showing me (the one saying to plug it into itunes), i tried turning it off and then back on and it didnt do anything! also i just downloaded itunes to this computer so it doesn't have any music or anything on it that is on my ipod so i cant just wipe out my ipod. please help me! i use my ipod for everything!!!
it is telling me to plug it into iTunes and when I dont iTunes tells me to put in my passcode
That makes no sense. Are you plugging it into iTunes or not?
...phone still tells my to connect it to iTunes and even if I knew my passcode I still couldn't type it in.
If you even knew your passcode why couldn't you type it in?
Please try again: tell us the problem, what you try, and what the result is. -
Just downloaded and installed new LR CC. No apparent problems with the D/I on my iMac, OS 10.10.3. however LR CC will not start. I get a momentary flash of the opening screen and then the program shuts down. From the posts it looks like this if a very common problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

If I want to make a separate apple ID then the rest of my family, but still want to use the same itunes account, is that possible?

Yes, your entire family can use one AppleID just for purchases in the iTunes and App Stores, then each of you can use your own unique AppleIDs for all other services (iCloud accounts, iMessage accounts and so on).
You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), and you can use a different one for each service Apple offers, if you wished to.
By doing what you suggest, you also limit the number of AppleIDs with payment information associated with them, so there is only one single AppleID that can be compromised that way. Keeping one AppleID for purchases and another (with no payment information tied to it) for everything else is not a bad practice for anyone to follow. -
Screen darker towards the bottom.
Apple put in a new hard disk in my iMac. The bottom of my screen is darker than the top and how can I fix this?
Take it back, however remember your machine is close to 7 years old so it may be time to just get a new machine

I have a PB G4 that won't start. It shows the gray apple screen, shows the blue screen, and then goes black. The sleep light pulses. From there, I can't turn it off normally. I have tried restarting the PMU. And I have tried unplugging the ac adaptor and removing the battery. From there I have plugged only the ac adaptor in, and it will begin to start but do the same thing once it shows the blue screen.
I tried only using the battery (without plugging in the ac adaptor) and the same thing happens. I tried starting the computer while holding down CTRL, Option, P, and R, waiting to hear the start up chimes 3 times, and then holding Shift as it starts up. But I still get the black screen once I see the blue one, and the computer's sleep light pulses.
I need something very important from this computer. And was able to start it last night. I did not shut down the computer, and was going to take it to a friends to use his printer today. The computer was in sleep mode in the morning.
Thanks for any help!
GinaWhat your describing could be a logic board or memory issue.
You did or did not hear 3 startup chimes? If you hear 3 chimes when you start it, that would indicate a memory problem. Try reseating the memory to see if that makes a difference. If you have 2 RAM cards, try one then the other in each slot. If you have 1 RAM card, move it to the other slot. Powerbooks can develop one bad slot.
You may need to pull the hard drive out of the Powerbook, put it into an external case, then read it from another mac. -
My family has a late 2010 27" Imac. A few months ago, we noticed that the left side of the screen was somewhat darker than the right. As time went on, it continued to get worse and worse. When you turn the computer off for an hour or so, it helps the display out somewhat, but it eventually goes back to being darker on the left. About two months ago, the display started to go completely black. When the screen is black, everything still runs. My itunes library will still play, everything is functioning even though the screen is out. It has started to become more frequent. It is extremely annoying, almost unbearable. Since the one year warranty went out in November, what are we supposed to do about this?
Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. It's a known issue with 27" iMacs and you might be eligible for replacement. I had mine replaced shortly after buying it. BTW, AppleCare's extended warranty is the cheapest insurance policy one can have for desktop machines. Too bad you missed the deadline.

I have noticed that the screen is much darker in the middle of the screen, vertically in a column. This was improved when i booted to the CD. Now on a fresh install and it looks better but doesnt seem to be completely fixed. I am going to wait and let the screen heat up. Also is there any fix for the high pitched noise yet?
hmm...I just received mine literally 20 minutes ago, and my screen is considerably darker on the right side (especially along the right edge). And I have this backlighting leaking on the upper right corner. I am going to wait a day and see if that clears anything. If not, it's going back....sigh...

Why is one spread's background darker than the rest?
I have the same background applied to 2 different Master's. All the pages print perfect except for Page 12-13. I have made sure that both Masters were not applied to the spread. It is showing that Master 1 is applied to pages 1-11, and Master 2 is applied to 12-32.
However, when I print, Page 12-13 looks like it's at 100% opacity, instead of 60% like the rest of the pages. I will admit, In Design is not my preferred program, but I feel I know it pretty well.
I have deleted all Master's twice, made them again, and reapplied. It is still not fixing the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm running InDesign CS6, on Windows.It's definitely because there's too much things on your wife's computer. You can compress all that media and see if it works. You can also create a separate partition on the hard drive of your iMac and store all the media there.

Pages print in draft mode. first line normal and then the rest faint, how dop I restore this please
Pages printing in draft mode. First line normal and the rest is faint.
Please, how do I reset this.
Thanks
BruceIf you are using a printer (e.g. HP) that has an Economode (powersaver) setting, leave this off. Otherwise, your prints will look washed out as though toner was depleted.
Since Pages itself does not have a selectable “draft” mode, the focus will be on your printer hardware and configuration. -
IMac top screen Darker at the top
iMac screen is dim at the top. I've looked and read every possible topic and there is nothing relating this issued been fixed. I do notice that when I put the computer to sleep and wake it afterwards, the screen regains the brightness for a few seconds and it dims again at the top. Is a bit annoying

Please help
Found this in the voiceover manual. Try this shortcut.
Darkening the Screen
If you are a sighted user, you can use the screen curtain to simulate a non-sighted user’s experience. The screen curtain turns off all the visuals of the display, leaving a blank screen. This is a great way to learn how to use VoiceOver.
To turn the screen curtain on and off:
Press Control-Option-Shift-F11.
Edit: FN Control Option Shift F11
