What is wrong with my display and macbook pro?

When my MacBook Pro awakes from sleep there is something wrong with the screen. It doesn't load completely and sometimes it doesn't load at all. I posted a video here to better describe what the problem is. How can I fix this?? It is annoying when I have to power off my computer almost everytime it awakes from sleep.

That almost seems like the kernel panic is having a panic...when you can, go to Software Update and update to 10.7.4. It may fix your issue.

What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

What's wrong with the display and what will be the solution?

It shows greenish light on bottom left side every time I it turn on and last for 5-6 mins then It turn into white like brightness is high on that part of the display. It's hard to notice that in a room if lights are on but can easily noticeable in a dark room. I have sent it to warranty but they said it's a rare problem if its not detectable by diagnosis (May be by software) then I will not get it fix under warranty. What i will do if they could not detect the problem through diagnosis? I am from Bangladesh i have purchased it from a authorized reseller in Bangladesh apple store is not available.
Its MacBook Pro 15ins Retina Display purchased on February/2014.

There is an internal screen problem or there is a software bug a lot has been wrong with the mac with retina its just because of the display, my advice just wait until Yosemite comes out then you will resolve your problem hope. Or you can always try an SMC reset just look that up on youtube! ~STEBDOR WAS HÈRE

Calibration issues with 23" display and Macbook Pro 13".

Hi All,
I'm a photographer and link my Macbook Pro to a 23" display in order to edit my work.
I have calibrated both displays with a gretagmacbeth eye-one display 2, however, despite this, when I move images between screens they change considerably, most noticeably the values of reds. I appreciate the laptop display is never going to be as bright as the stand alone, but am I asking too much for the colours to be the same?
I look forward to receiving any suggestions from those who've had similar experience, or those who are experts in the this field.
Thank you in advance!

Line 107 looks dodgy to me and it won't have any effect on your code. However, it is a good idea to post a complete link to your CSS for us to see it in full and to validate it using external tools. In fact, you could validate the CSS (and HTML) yourself..

What is wrong with icloud mail and how do I fix it?

What is wrong with icloud mail and how do I fix it?
I put the icloud mail login address in the browser, it brings up the login screen.
I put the login details in correctly, it says icloud has stopped responding, I always send to Apple.
It restarts and I get the right screen, below, but all of the icons are blurred out. If you hover over them they sometimes indicate what they are but won’t let me launch them.
I am using an Advent Laptop with a Celeron processor with Windows 7 and the browser is Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7. (I know I am expecting a lot of it). All of my software is up to date.
Any ideas? I a not very techy but I'm not afraid to have a go...it communit question. Thanks fr your help.

Sound Switches Between Thunderbolt Display and MacBook Pro

I have an Apple Thunderbolt display and MacBook Pro set-up with dual screens. I have an iPhone plugged into a dock that runs to the display. When I have music playing out of the display and I disconnect my iPhone, it switches the sound to the MacBook Pro.
1. How do I stop this from happening?
2. If I can't stop it from happening, how do I move the sound from the MacBook Pro back to the display?
There doesn't seem to be any options within Preferences/Sound to change it back.
Thank you.

I've a Spyder4Elite that I use on both my Thunderbolt Display and on my MBP - and, while both are calibrated, they don't - and cannot - 'match' one another, no matter how hard I try.
I suspect that you're running up against the same wall? Different technologies in different displays. I doubt that you'll ever get a perfect match: mine are just 'good enough'.

The light on my power cord is orange. What is wrong with it and how can I fix my computer?

You have a Macbook Pro. A Mac Pro is a desktop. The light on your power cord is orange when it's charging. It turns green once it's fully charged.

Apple Aluminum Keyboard and 23" cinema Display and MacBook Pro??

Hello there
I have just purchased an Apple Aluminum Keyboard and have and MacBook Pro with and 23" cinema display, and if i try to connect the keyboard to my cinema display via USB the keyboard don't work.
i have an Apple mighty mouse that works fine wen connected to the USB port on the display...
why is it not working...

have you tried a different USB port on the ACD? Maybe the one you used was defective? I run a 7-port bus off one of the USB ports for all my hardware. OTOH, I do use bluetooth mouse and keyboard!

iPhones have NEVER paired with laptops except for the sole purpose of tethering. Have you read your Mercedes operating manual and made sure the Command is in pairing mode?

Integrating new ext HD with Time Capsule and MacBook pro

I just purchased a 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus that I’m looking to integrate with my mid-2009 MacBook Pro and 2 TB Time Capsule that I’m currently using to store my iTunes library (I know, bad move, one of the reasons for the new Seagate) and run my Time Machine backups. If I can use the TC only as an external HD and backup with Time Machine to the new Seagate I’m willing to do that. If I can’t, I understand the limitations of the larger capacity Seagate with the smaller TC. Probably won’t top 2 TB for a while so I’ll cross that > 2 TB of info bridge when I get to it and need a larger drive for Time Machine backups
The current plan is to move the iTunes library to the Seagate along with the new, and ever growing Aperture library (currently on the MB) while backing up both the MacBook and Seagate to the Time Capsule; unless I can switch them and use the TC as an ext HD and the Seagate for backups. How do I go about doing this? How do I answer the “Do you want to use this new drive with Time Machine” prompt being that I’m currently not planning on backing up to the Seagate but want to backup the Seagate up to the TC? Do I need to reformat the Seagate disc? Still figuring out how I want to configure the Aperture (which I’m still learning) library but I’d like to keep the mobility advantage of the laptop and use the internal HD for a working library and move the post-processed images to the Seagate for archival. I’ll be checking on the Aperture forum.
Thanks for any help to this incredibly newbie type question. There’s usually a similar, but not exact, answer to my questions on forums or the threads are a few years old, so figured it would be faster and more accurate to just ask.

I just purchased a 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus... If I can use the TC only as an external HD and backup with Time Machine to the new Seagate I’m willing to do that.
The Seagate Backup Plus portable drives are Time Machine compatible so you shouldn't have any issues backing up your MacBook Pro to this drive. You also shouldn't have any issues using the TC as an "external HD" if you actually meant "network" drive. That is, it will still be available on the network as a storage device.
The current plan is to move the iTunes library to the Seagate along with the new, and ever growing Aperture library (currently on the MB)...
That shouldn't be a problem.
...while backing up both the MacBook and Seagate to the Time Capsule
Backing up the MacBook Pro using Time Machine will not be an issue, but you will not be able to use Time Machine to back up the Time Capsule to the Seagate. It may still be possible to use some other back up solution for this.
How do I answer the “Do you want to use this new drive with Time Machine” prompt being that I’m currently not planning on backing up to the Seagate but want to backup the Seagate up to the TC?
At this point, just answer "No." You can always choose the Seagate as a Time Machine destination later via the Time Machine interface. Again, you CANNOT back up the Time Capsule to the Seagate with Time Machine.
Do I need to reformat the Seagate disc?
If you got the Mac version of this Seagate drive it is already properly formatted. However, if you got the PC version, you will need to reformat it for HFS+ in order for the TC to share it out properly. That means you will need to temporarily connect it to your Mac, via USB, and then, use the Disk Utility to format it.

Any guess as to what's wrong with the display? Glows but no image.

Helping a friend with the A1226 (15 inch Macbook pro). LCD is lit (glows), but a few light lines/bars on left side, no real image at all that I can see. Works fine on my external display. I removed the top case, and played with the connections a little to no avail. Techs said $350 to fix, based on prices I see on EBAY for displays, might be a good deal but not sure if that's a starting at $350. I would hate to get something and find out it's not the display though.

Since the external display works without issue, it's more likely to be a problem with the internal display or possibly its cables and connections and not a graphics chip problem.
The LVDS cable is what carries video data, so you want to have a good look at it, checking both for physical damage and to see that it is well seated. Do the same with the inverter cable.
You can probably find a replacement LVDS cable:
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Models-A1226-A1260-Displ ay-Data-Cable/IF185-133
It seems to be sold out at the moment, but it may be available from a different source or later on from ifixit. The cable is much less expensive than the display, and may be worth a try.
Good luck!

KVM switch one Cinema hd display (dvi) with macpro (dvi) and macbook pro (mini displayport)

I want to use a KVM switch to share one display with two computers.
Computer one is: MacPro 1,1 dual core 2.66 Ghz with two DVI ports.
Computer two is: MacBook Pro 4 core 2.66 GHz with one Mini Displayport.
Display is: Cinema HD Display with DVI connector.
To do that KVM switches only use (at least that is waht I found) one system either DVI or Mini Displayports
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=3113
DVI --> KVM SWITCH<-- DVI
                     V
               DVI (monitor)
http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-2x1-Mini-DisplayPort-KVM-Switch.html
Mini Displayport (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                                         V
                                                 DVI (monitor)
However what I want is:
DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITHCH<-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                       V
                              DVI(monitor)
I couldn't find an existing KVM switcher that does this.
Then there is the following solution
DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- ADAPTER (Mini Displayport to DVI) <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                    V
                            DVI(monitor)
The question is: Will this work?
I've been told that adapter behind adapter never works. Hope someone can help with this before spending money on nothing.
Thanx David

Maybe you're right just try and see if I can return the stuff if it's not working.
I won't be using a higher resolution then 1920 x 1200 however I still would buy the adapter
Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng
for connecting macbookpro to KVM DVI switch.
However if there's still someone with experiencing the exact same thing I would be much obliged.

What's wrong with the display?!

Of my many macs, one is an iMac snow. It still works pretty good, and recently I put in a new harddrive and installed Mac OS X onto it. It's been working perfectly fine for the last few months now. However, just early today the display went bonkers. My little sister was playing a game, and it said that in order to play the game, the colors must be set to 256. So I clicked okay and changed the settings from millions to the settings the game needed. When she was done playing the game, however, the colors were all messed up. I tried restarting the computer first, but that didn't work so I went into the preferences and tried to fix the color there. Still, nothing worked. I don't know what's wrong. The colors are in the negitive. Everything that is supposed to be white is black, everything that's supposed to be black is white, everything that's supposed to be blue is red, and so forth. I can't get it off this negitive effect. Can someone please help me out?! Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Wow... thanks a bunch. That was SOOOO simple. I feel so stupid now. Just one click, and I sooo overpassed it earlier. -_- Agh.
Thanks!!!
