Watery-like effect in the screen

I just bought this computer, my first mac, last friday. I absolutely love it, but my screen seems to have some strange defect in it. Whenever the screen shakes at all, an area near the top right of the screen jiggles like water. Kind of like the effect when you press something against the screen, but not. I think the best way to describe it is like water. It's quite noticeable, being about 2 inches in length, and about a cm deep - it just jiggles when the screen shakes. Has anybody heard or have this problem. Would I be able to get it replaced or something?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This does not sound normal to me, nor have I heard of this phenomenon. There is a "liquid" effect when you add a widget, but it should not be a part of your regular display. You should speak to Apple about this.
Good luck!

  • I would like to extend the screen from my circa 2013 27in iMAC with thunderbolt onto my circa late 2006 imac using the DVI port on that iMAC. Is this possible? If not is there another approach I can use?

    I would like to extend the screen from my circa 2013 27in iMAC with thunderbolt onto my circa late 2006 imac using the DVI port on that iMAC. Is this possible? If not is there another approach I can use? My 2006 iMAC is showing it's age but I figure I can use it as just a monitor just fine. Assuming I can connect the two together.

    That older iMac isn't designed to receive video input through the mini-DVI connection. Only certain newer iMacs are able to be used as displays.
    Your only options are to use something like ScreenRecycler mentioned above.

    Unfortunately you do not have any options, the iPad one cannot be used for mirroring.

  • I dropped my iPod touch 4 generation on my kitchen tile and it shattered, like chunks of the screen are coming off. But everything works and I've had it for a 1 ½ years now. I don't have the extended warranty or anything but can I get it replaced somehow

    I dropped my iPod touch 4 generation on my kitchen tile and it shattered, like chunks of the screen are coming off. But everything works and I’ve had it for a 1 ½ years now. I don’t have the extended warranty or anything but can I get it replaced somehow? if anyone knows anything please let me know. thank you!

    Depending on the extent of the damage, Apple may replace the iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to repair the iPod for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty will be void.
    Regards.

  • Why does my iPad have yellow like spots on the screen when the screen is on dark images.?

    When I open dark images, my iPad has this yellow like spots around the screen next to the bezel.  It only happens when there is a dark screen like for instance when a YouTube video is loadeding or when I have dark pictures. Is this normal.? Or should I take it to the Apple Store.?

    first of all was your ipad dropped on a hard floor or something if not then you should just take it to apple as that is not normal you should probably get the device replaced

  • My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off. I recharged and reset. What else should I do?

    My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off.
    It disappears when turned on. It must mean something. I recharged and reset. What else, if anything, should I do?

    You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Changes to desktop effects freezes the screen

    Recently I installed Arch linux and Kde for the WM.
    I am currently using "KDE Platform Version 4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1)"
    The desktop effects "composting" works but everytime I make a small change to any of the settings the screen freezes for an idefinite amount of time! and when this happens I have to do ctrl+alt+F1 and go to the command line and kill X and then re-enable composting !
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening? what should I do to rectify this?
    I am having an Intel onboard G41 chipset.
    I installed "xf86-video-intel" driver.

    I was referring to the problem you reported "the screen freezes for an idefinite amount".
    I thought it sounded like this:

    iPhone 5S does not turn on after using it earlier in the day.The screen shows a cloud-like image and after swiping the screen repeatedly, it shows a large numeral 5 with the letters J K L underneath.

    Hey penguin42,
    So it sounds as if your iPhone is not completely starting up, a distressing situation to be sure. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Start with the section titled If your device gets stuck during startup.
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • I let my 1 year old watch cartoons on my iPad 2. However she likes to hit the screen and will exit the app. Is it a way I can lock my screen and she still watch cartoons

    I

    At the moment no, but when iOS 6 is released later this month there will be new 'accessibility' features - from here :
    It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen.

  • Iphone acts like im touching the screen when im not

    my phone wont unlock and i can only get it to slide about 1/4 of the way across the unlock bar and if i do get it to unlock it types in a random pass code and locks me out and if i manage to get past both of these it sometimes will open up apps and messages and it always types in the bottom row of the keyboard and tries to copy and paste random stuff. i recently had my screen replaced and im wondering if that has anything to do it but im also wondering if it might bw an iOS problem because ive read on here that some other peoples phones are acting weird and a few of my friends are..

    do a reset
    hold home /sleep buttons UNTIL Apple logo appears , ignore red off slider .
    If the screen was replaced by a " Phoneshop " rather than Apple then take it back they have screwwed up your iPhone and now the warranty is void and Apple will not ever provide service or help with that device

  • Does anyone know how and where to get the software the creates a ripple effect on the screen when you click you mouse?

    I have been searching for the download, or software which creates a ripple effects or waves when you click anywhere on screen with the mouse pointer. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

    Waves
    Your screen gets liquified with Waves, which creates a rippling radius around your cursor. Drop a rock in to watch your screen undulate and shimmer, without any nasty chemical aftereffects. You can rock the boat just a little, or hang ten until you're seasick with the wavelength options.

  • Effects of the screen

    Hello Everyone. Well after a few weeks of waiting for a local target to get the 8GB iTouch in stock, they finally did.
    The problem is, that I just ordered the invisibleshield sunday, and wont expect it for a few days.
    So I am worried about putting smudges on my screen, and fingerprints. To add to the problem outside right now its 82 Degree's with 63% humidity (my fingers might be a little sweaty from the heat)
    Are the fingerprints easy to get off?
    Thanks.

    or you could just do what im doing. I left it the way it came in the box, wrapped in the clear wraps, and just took a small sharp knife and cut a slit where u sync it to the computer. U have access to the headphone jack, and can use the touch screen just fine. My invisiblesheild should arrive soon, and when it does, my week old iPod will be cherry!
    (the home button is stiff to push this way because it's receeded below the plastic, but its acceptable for a week)

  • Pacman Like Effect (Left Side To Right Side)

    I would like a pacman like effect when the character goes outside of the left side of the game window then they come from the right side of the window. My character can only move left and right so they would be using the same left and right parts of the window. I need help on the actionscript for this i am using 2.0 on flash 5

    Thanks a lot for your continued support, it means a lot.
    After a bit of error work-arounds I'll show you my code, because while there are no errors it doesn't seem to work. My character just goes endlessly off the left of the screen.
    onClipEvent (load)
        speed = 4;
    onClipEvent (enterFrame)
        if (Key.isDown(39))
            this._x = this._x + speed;
        } // end if
        if (Key.isDown(37))
            this._x = this._x - speed;
        } // end if
    character._x -= 3
    if(character._x < leftboundaryX) {       // check if it stepped over the boundary
         character._x = rightboundaryX; }  // if so, move it across to the other side
