White mark on the retina screen

My new iPhone 4S had a white mark on the right bottom of the retina screen.
Is this a hardware problem ? and can I have a new replacement ? Thanks.

I just got it from Apple Online Store on 17 Nov 2011 and the warranty period should be 90 days from the invoice date ?
Please refer attached picture for details. Thanks zsnow.

The logo, w/out the white part in the back...

I designed a logo with Illustrator. I will place it over a background image that has different colors. I want to ‘cut out’ the white portion behind the logo (otherwise it sticks out like a white elephant when placed over the colored background). I tinkered with Photoshop and was able to cut out the logo with the quick selection tool , but there’s no getting rid of the white artboard-like portion behind certain portions of the logo (which is odd, given that I supposedly cut out or ‘quick selected’ the image). I would appreciate the help…

CloudUser,
Are you sure there is an issue?
In vector artwork, white normally means nothing (literally).
What happens if you create a coloured rectangle and place it behind the artwork (beneath it in the stacking order as shown in the Layers palette)?

Discoloration also on the back of the display?

Hello everyone,
I bought my white MacBook last June, and backordered a 13-inch MacCase sleeve. I’ve been using a 14-inch sleeve they sent me for free, until they finally sent the 13-inch model last week. These sleeves have a square see-thru window in the middle, so the Apple logo shows up from the outside. I am overall satisfied with their build quality and design.
About a couple of months ago, I’ve started noticing a grayish square mark on the back of the display of my book, around the Apple logo, exactly the same size as the window on the sleeve. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking that I could be just dirt coming from inside the sleeve. One day I thought the computer was dirty enough, and I decided to clean it but, to my surprise, realized that the mark wouldn’t come off. I’ve first tried to remove it with a dry cloth, then with some water, and finally Endust Electronics to clean it, to no avail. It is permanent.
I contacted the sleeve manufacturer to explain the situation. I spoke with the president of the company, who was very polite, and he asked me to email him pictures of the marks. Emailed the pictures, and he got back to me about couple days later, telling me that out of 26,000 sleeves sold, I am the only customer reporting this issue. He also mentioned he spoke with many experts in the plastic industry, and they told him that this could be a problem with the actual material used in the shell of the computer, that it was molded or formed incorrectly, heated or cooled too quickly etc. He suggested that I contact AppleCare, which I –being familiar with the discoloration problems on the white MacBooks- did.
I scheduled an appointment with the genius bar at the local Apple store (where I bought the computer from), and went there. They took a look at it and, sure enough, said that the marks were caused by the sleeve. They also told me that this is considered a “cosmetic defect” and as such, it is not covered by the warranty. Out of curiosity, I asked them how much would it cost to replace the outside shell, and they said $280. They opened a case# for me, writing all the details, and suggested me to contact AppleCase by phone to see how they can work this out. I haven’t called AppleCare yet, but I will do it soon.
So, right now I’m in the middle of this likely-lost battle. I just find the idea of being a single case out of 26,000 a little hard to digest. And I find even harder to digest that after buying a brand new computer, and a brand new sleeve *to protect it*, I now have to deal with these marks on the case, especially when the computer is not even 4 months old.
Has anyone else out there experienced this issue with a white MacBook and a MacCase sleeve? I will appreciate your input.
Daniel

Take a look at this Replacement Program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook-bottomcase/
Typically, they will not announce a program like this until they are sure it will resolve the issue. It sounds like both of you had your repairs done before this program was initiated (5/27/11), so your replacements probably didn't have the final corrections in the bottom case.
I would contact Apple per this article and see about getting it fixed. I have seen a couple of other users posting that they did the Self service option and were very pleased.

I used to be able to go back multiple pages at once, by selecting what page I wanted to go to by the back button. Now I apparently don't have that option and can only go back one page at a time? Am I mistaken, and is there a way to do this?

I miss the old back button, when I could go back multiple pages at a time.

You can also:
*right-click the Back/Forward button for the drop-down
*add this extension to add the drop-marker to the Back/Forward button: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

What is the best way to obliterate a scratch on the back of the iPad?

As the subject says, I need to make a scratch go away on the back of my iPad. I don't know what made the scratch, but it is about 2 inches long and extends from near the center (doesn't touch the apple) toward the edge. I don't want to touch any steel wool to it for fear that it will make a worse mark. So I am curious if there is a good (and well tried) way of making it look new again.
Thanks,
Tom

There is absolutely nothing that you can do that wouldn't be even more noticeable than the scratch. You can't polish it out, because the back of an iPad is not polished... You'll end up with this big polished mark on the back that stands out more from the "matte" texture than the scratch does. I believe the texture is achieved by something similar to sand blasting, but that process would not be something a home user could do, and would probably be VERY detrimental to the finished iPad.

What are the spots that are appearing on the back of the iphone 5s?

I have had the iphone 5s since launch day. about a week in i started to notice little white dots on the back of the phone. ( i have been using a bumber case with a clear back) the white dots are mostly on the bottom part of the iphone on the black section. some of the dots have showed up near the apple emblem. i have taken a scribe and carefully tried to scrape it and some of it comes off but its back within a few days. Does anybody know what this could be?

UPDATE:
I have four accounts on my MacPro (which hosts the server). Server/Local/Basic Administrator and Dummy Acc (SA, LA, BA and DA respectively). Only SA and DA are in the OD (as per standard server setup assistant); LA and BA are on the local account of the computer, not the server's OD.
When I login with and of the SA, LA or BA users locally, or SA remotely evrything appears as it should. It is only when I log in with DA, which is fully managed within WGM (Finder, Dock, Apps), that I get odd behaviour.
DA behaves as expected on client Macs but the Dock management settings, at least, don't appear to work when logged in on the local server machine.
Once I have logged in as DA on any machine (and then logged out or not) and then log in with any of the Administrator accounts I get this Boot OSX harddrives appearing, as previously described.
The Boot HDs then seem to no l;onger appear after some unspecified period of time with the server logged out of by all accounts.
None of this affects the performance (as much as I can tell).
Any thoughts? Is the Boot OSX some NetBoot type thing (which I haven't touched). Why is this behaviour associated with this dumb account?
Many thanks,
Francis.

HT1553 I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error...

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

Can I get the back of my iPhone 4 white autographed?

I want to get my favorite band to sign the back of my iPhone 4 white with a BLACK SHARPIE marker. Will it stay on? I don't want it to smear.
Thank you!

Highly unlikely. Get a sharpie and a piece of glass and try.

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

My iPad 2 screen has turned a weird colour. The background is black and the letters are white instead of the other way round and colour photos look like negatives. How do I change it back.

My IPad screen has turned a weird colour, the background is white and the letters white instead of the other way round. Colour photos look like negatives. How can I turn it back to a white background.

Dear Steve,
You are wonderful! You are the best! I'm Stephania and I recently purchased a refurbished ipad2. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and updating & fixing it so my liking. The only thing that I couldn't correct were the photos that looked like negatives. Every photo, even on the internet, on apps, everywhere! I just couldn't figure out how to fix it. I contacted Apple Care and its too difficult to get in touch with them. I had looked through support before but didn't put in the right question. Well, today I got lucky. I did the two things you suggested and turning the "White On Black" off did the trick. I'm so happy! I had a feeling it was something simple and this is not even in the manual!

They told me to bring it to the genius at the apple store. They will change it for free but I don't have any physical place to back up my computer, they said it will take a coupe of days. I am not really sure if I have to back it up.
Thank you.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
