White patch

This morning, I opened my Macbook and there was a white spot where the screen just
appeared to stop at. It has been getting bigger all day, especially when I try to adjust the screen tilt. Now, it encompasses about the bottom right quarter of the display. It almost looks like an index card (white with vertical blue and pinkish/red stripes.) There is no display where the screen starts. I am using a white 13" 2007 macbook that is running on Leopard 10.5.5. I am not in a position to go to an apple store currently, so what should I do and what is up with my screen.

I am having the same problem on my 21" Cinema Display but my white patch is in the top right hand corner which is quite big about 4cm and now one is starting in the right top corner which is small. My daughters boyfriend who knows a bit about mac computers said it seems to be a heat problem and because it is still under warranty to take it back to the store I purchased it from which I am going to do, I will let you know what they say. The screen has not been exposed to constant sunlight. I will keep you posted.

  • Mountain lion finder window white patches

    This is difficult to describe, I'll try and do a screen grab next time it happens, but simply, occasionally, when I wake up my iMac there are big areas of random white patches on the desktop ... it's totally corrupt and I have to bring up the 'Force Quit' dialogue and 'Relainch' finder which clears it so no big deal - I'm more concerned that it might be pointing to a more profound problem.

    OK I couldn't get a screen grab (well the phenominon didn't appear in the grab) but here's a photograph, it is a small area of white in the top corner of the screen, often it takes more of the space in random rectangular 'patches' ... any thoughts welcome.

  • Appearence of white patches when application is launched by Acrobat 8.0

    Hi All,
    When I launch an application(scanner) from acrobat 8.0(createPDF->From Scanner) I can see some white patches on the application but this doesn't happens when scanner is launched as standalone application.
    Can any one faced this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    You print to the Adobe PDF printer using the PDF Port. That is how AcroTray notes the file that is produced and starts Distiller. Printing to file with the Adobe PDF printer and then opening in Distiller is the base line of PDF creation that all other methods depend on. If this one does not work, then you have a problem. If you can print to file, then open the file in Distiller to get a PDF, then it is typically AcroTray that is the problem. Sometimes you have to kill AcroTray and then restart it.
    It sounds like you may need to do a repair on the Acrobat installation. That is done from the control panel. In XP it is in the Add-Remove Programs. It was moved to another icon name in VISTA. It seems MS and Adobe both like to move things around and rename them!
    You say you get an error when you check the print-to-file button, or at least that is what I think you said. Is that correct, or were you able to get a PDF with Distiller? Some folks have also found the need to do a repair after a Windows update. You might also want to look at the subversion you have. AA8 is up to either 8.1.7 or 8.2. You can check in the help file and then download any updates from Adobe.com>downloads>updates>Windows Acrobat. Be sure you install any updates in order, they are no cummulative unless it specifically says so.

  • A white patch has appeared on my Sony Bravia LCD TV.

    A white patch has appeared on my Sony Bravia LCD TV. The patch is slowly growing in size and obstructing the picture. Unable to see what is under the patch. Does this forum also involve customer care?  We bought the TV almost 3 years back. Not sure if the international warranty that I got still exists. Need to check. Appreciate help. Cheers!

    I am having the same issue. My LCD's model is KLV-32BX300. I bought that TV 4 years back. The TV was working fine before that issue. The amazing thing is that the patch was initially a small spot and it size got increased within 2 days even the TV was powered off. Please help...

  • Black or White patches on Photoshop images

    I use Photoshop CC on a new iMac.  Recently my images have been randomly filling with black or white at varying zoom levels. Or they have rectangular black or white patches on one corner/side.  If I zoom in or out these fills/patches will disappear at some levels and reappear at others.  Anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to rectify the problem?  Shutting down PS and/or re-booting the computer usually deals with the current issue, but then the problem reappears on another image at a later stage.  It's happening frequently enough to be very annoying!

    Google updated the plugins recently to correct this problem:

    Version 1.109 (December 11/2013) is the latest:

  • White patches appearing on the screen after some time

    I have bought an iMac recently. And for some days white patches like something occurring on my screen after sometime when I opens it. And the patches are there after closing it till sometime. So what can i do now? PLEASE help me .

    That sounds like condensation forming between the display and front glass panel.
    If you live in an area with high humidity, then might help to run a fan or dehumidifier to help reduce the moisture in the air.
    It also might help to leave the iMac on and running for a day or so to compleatly dry out the trapped moisture.
    If those steps do not help, then you may want to take the iMac to your local Apple Store or AASP and have them clean between the display and front glass panel.

    Hi shashwat315.
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    If you have a screen protector on the screen, try removing it and see if the white disappears, if however this does not help, then you are likely looking at hardware, in this case you would be best contact Sony Mobile Customer Care to advise.

  • Applet resize white patch issue

    while resizing the applet white screen is coming w.I am using jre 1.5.Anybody have any ideap lz share.

    Hi friends ,Not to put too fine a point on it, but while I am not your enemy, I am also not your friend. We are just two developers with a common interest in Java. Salutations such as 'Hi!', 'Hello' or 'Hi Friends' are generally not considered necessary in a technical forum - so I recommend you leave them out entirely.
    With JRE 1.5 versions ,how we can solve the applet resize related issues?Perhaps I did not express this clearly in my first reply, but you seem rather naive about applet/browser interaction. Something that works in Java version 1.5 on one browser, might not work in another browser running 1.5, or it might not work in a different version of the same browser (also using Java 1.5).
    For that reason, I am sceptical of your claim that it 'works in 1.5'. Sure, it might work for the particular flavor of browser/OS you are testing in, but what about the other browsers on different systems?
    If you can assure me that users are all using version n.n.n of browser X on OS Y, the claim that it 'works in 1.5' makes more sense.
    Is your application strictly limited to one set of the constraints mentioned above?
    ..It will get fixed with JRE 1.6.But we are not allowed to use that 1.6 version.If any body already found any work wround SP.What does SP mean? As to a 'work-around', I suggested one in my initial reply. Launch the applet using Java Web Start.
    Now, be warned that I am very close to abandoning this thread. One of the main reasons is that I get the impression that I am failing to communicate important things to you, and am therefore wasting my time and yours. One of the things that gives me the 'failing to get the point across' impression is that I asked you two specific questions in my first reply, and got no answers to those questions. Again, they were..

  • IPad 1 has bright white spot

    I have an annoying problem with my original ipad 1.
    It has a bright white spot (more visible on white pages) about a cm above the round button on the screen
    And a red dead pixel on the right side.
    It is now obviously out of warrenty but would an Apple Genius Bar worker replace my device for free?
    (below is an image but the picture didnt take very clearly at all, the white patch is very bright)

    Apple provides out of warranty service, but obviously for a fee. See the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

  • Transparant area turns white in 8bit png format

    Hello Experts,
    When transperant is set in photoshop then exported to png 24bit then when opened in MS paint(which supporst only 8bit) the transperacy turns white.
    When transperant is set in illustrator then exported to png 24bit then when opened in paint, the transperancy is shown in black;.This behaviour is what i need with the pngs that are created in photoshop. I really dontknow why this transperancy behaves differently with PS and  Ilustrator.
    Could anyone tell why transperancy set in  PS turns white in 8bit format(in MSPaint). This is because, My touch screen device will show pngs in 24bit and 16bit. And in some cases my device has to display pngs in 8 bit also. When pngs are shown in 8bit, i am able to see white patches where transperancy is given. These pngs are mainly created in PS. But we do not find any issue with pngs created in Illustrator.
    Could anyone tell whats going wrong wih PS.
    If i get answer for this, i would be able to find the root cause of the issues that we face in our project.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Ashok

    I can only guess at what the difference may be between PS and AI.  The PNG file format has some ancillary chunks, one of which is the default background color. Ancillary chunks can be ignored by the opening program if it chooses. It is possible that AI declares the background to be black and PS does not. As far as I can tell, the PNG default background color chunk is independent of what the background color is set to in Photoshop when you save an  image with transparency from PS.
    One work around is to place the PS image in Illustrator and save from there. You may have good reasons to use Paint, but I've found other problems in having Paint digest  png  files and never use Paint. Png files with transparency written by PS seem to work fine in other programs.

  • Filling "Ignore White" holes after Live Trace/Expand

    I'm relatively new to Illustrator CS4's Live Trace feature but have been using it a lot lately. When I place a Photoshop image (shot on white background) using Live Trace with the "Ignore White" box selected, it does a nice job of knocking out the background. However, after I Expand the Trace to create a vector image, I am often left with see-through hot spots on the object itself. When I try to select a hot spot to fill it with white, I can't select it. Normally one would use the Group Selection tool to select a specific path but the "holes" can't be selected. The only thing I can think of is to place a white "patch" behind the the object. Any other simpler ideas out there? Thanks!

    First - before you can edit any LiveTrace object, you must expand the artwork (Object>Expand or Expand Apearance).
    The paths created in LiveTrace are compound paths. You'd have to release the compound paths (Object>Compound Path>Release). All paths will default to the fill color of the original. Select the paths you want to color and fill.
    You could avoid this by not ignoring the white when you trace. After expanding, use the direct selection tool (open or white arrow) to select the white background and delete. If you need some of the remaining white areas transparent, you may now select these and their surrounding elements and create compound paths.
    One other way, again after expansion of the artwork, would be to use the LivePaint tool. Select the artwork, choose the LivePaint tool, convert to LivePaint object (Object>LivePaint>Make), then fill as needed.

  • Basic white balance questions

    1.) What do you do if you are working on an image that has absolutely no white in it or neutral colors? Maybe the white detail is all washed out, maybe the image is made up of blues, reds and yellows. How do you use the white balance tool in this case?
    2.) If you have the option of choosing both a white color or grey color to use the white balance tool on, is there a general rule of thumb for using one over the other? Or do you just try both to see which looks better? Does clicking on white result in a better white balanced image generallly than when clicking on grey?
    Thanks.

    Jeff Schewe wrote:
    Most of the time I don't bother with the White Balance tool and simply adjust the image to taste. But if you do need an "accurate" WB, then it's better to use a non-specular non-blownout white. Grey is too far down the tone scale and can be a bit less accurate.
    A non-specular non-blownout white would be best. Unfortunately, such a target is not readily available. The "white" patch of the Colorchecker has a reflectance of about 90% (optical density = 0.05) and is not spectrally neutral, so it is recommended to use the second brightest patch for white balancing with the color checker. It is apparently difficult to make a spectrally neutral white paint. The second brightest patch has an OD of 0.23 (~60% reflectance) and is reasonable spectrally neutral. The darker neutral patches will result in a higher signal:noise in the image, but can work relatively well if your sensor has good noise characteristics, and a darker gray neutral area of an image can be used if a lighter neutral area is not available.
    Babel Color used to provide a spectrally neutral white target, but it is no longer being offered. Their web-site FAQ gives useful information on the section on the of a white balancing target. Besides not being spectrally neutral in many cases, the Kodak 18% target is too dark, but can give acceptable results as many photographers have found. The WhiBal target has a reflectance of 50% (OD = 0.32, L* = 75) and is a reasonable choice for white balancing.
