Yellow hue appeared on my screen...
Yesterday I turned on my Mac and the screen started first to flicker with colored pixels and lines and static and then turned completely yellow. It does this same thing every time I turn it on now. I've tried unplugging the power cord before restarting and have looked up on different forums what the problem could be. Doesn't seem to be anyone with my problem. Does anyone know what this could be?
I've heard of overhead projector screens being yellow because of bad/loose power cords. I know mine isn't loose.
Additional info: I'm living in Germany and have my Mac plugged into a Step-Down Converter Fuse Protection box as my particular model of Mac does not have a built-in power converter. This has been working great for one year now.
Let me know if you have any suggestions as to how I might fix this.
Thanks,
Jill

Mac OS X 10.4 Help-My Dispay Doesn’t Look Right
If the above is of no help then you will need to do the following:
System Preferences>Display>Display
Check the Colors & Brightness settings.
My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.
Now click on the Color button.
Check Display Profile
Is Show profiles for this display only enabled or disabled?
If necessary click on the Calibrate button & do the necessary.
Now in the bottom right corner, click on the purple button w/the black ? mark in the middle. This will bring up the help window.
Midway down, click on the Colorsync Utility link.
The next window should be Profile First Aid.
Read & follow the instructions/details of About Profile First Aid: & do the necessary to Verify & Repair.
If you have AppleCare, contact them and/or take your computer to your local AASP.

The right side of the screen of my MacBook Air a yellow line appears very thin and dotted. What can I do to eliminate it? Marco

A black border and semi circle have appeared on my screen of my iPhone 5. It wasn't there this morning it just appeared now a yellow tinge has appeared around the semi circle and sometimes I get a line going across my screen which then disappears
Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained here:

If still no luck, get it serviced by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place and let them have a look at your device. -
Screen problem ( yellow hue ) ???
I had received the Sony Xperia Z1 today from O2.ie (Ireland) and I have a screen problem ( yellow hue ) ???
I have tried with and without X-Reality
I tried taking different photos and different places but all my photos came out with a bit of yellow hue in it.
Especially the front camera came out way too yellow.
I also tried to take the photo with Iphone5 in the same lighting area but the Iphone5 didn't came out yellow as I used the sony xperia Z1.
Is there something wrong with the screens ?
Or any problem with the processing system ?
Do you have any idea to solve this problem ?
Hope to hear from you soon.
If you would like to see the comparison photos I can send you by e-mail.

Display has a yellow hue/tint...
My display has a yellow hue/tint and it is not being caused by a screen protector (which is clear). Also did a factory reset (didn't expect it to work) and it didn't help. I'm comparing the display to a at&t iphone 4 display. The hue/tint is consistent throughout display, no lines nor spotting, nor has the phone been in the heat.
Message was edited by: robk627Verizon's iphone has a Yellow hue. And I dont believe its going to "cure" or go away ...
PS: For those of you like "Thomas" who say its "Just fine". Please hold your AT&T iphone up next to your Verizon iPhone. You'll see its not "just fine". Love when people just rattle off comments like this with zero research...
Since I don't happen to have both an AT&T iPhone and a Verizon iPhone, I did a different test. I viewed a photo on my Verizon iPhone and held it up next to the identical photo on the screen of my MacBook Pro. The iPhone photo was very slightly darker, but there was absolutely no color cast. I repeated this for a number of different images with different palettes, and none showed the slightest yellow color cast.
Note that one should not confuse reading posts online from people with zero technical knowledge talking about a "problem" with actual research. -
Yellow Spots on iPhone 5 screen
Hi everyone.
As you can see from the picture, there's a faint yellow spots on the iPhone screen. The phone was purchased in December but the spots didn't appear until yesterday. I've resetted the phone using iTunes and basically ruled out this is a software issue.
I know I need to have the phone serviced if I want it fixed. But the problem is I purchased the phone from the Apple Store in Hongkong and I''m currently in the Philippines. I don't know someone currently in Hongkong to send my phone to. I just wanna ask if someone had the same experience and what they did to fix their phone. Any suggestion would be appreciated.you havent gotten a answer ;-; well your having a very very mini kernel panic thats all

Iphone 5S warmer color temperature (yellow hue)
Hi guys,
Yes another yellowgate thread I am afraid...
Ive compared my iphone 5 with the iphone 5s. Both devices set to full brighntess...both running ios7....and its quite clear that my iphone 5S seems to have a much warmer color temperature when compared with the iphone 5. The iphone 5 produces white as brillaint white...whereas the iphone 5S seems to have a yellow hue to it....whites look yellow / washed out .... This is even more noticable due to ios7 which is primarily an OS with a white background / theme throughout.
Question being, is this "the norm" for the iphone 5S or a manufacturing defect ? Anyone else compared the 5 to the 5S side by side see the same issue ?
Its either a defect or apple has changed the default color temperature for the iphone 5S .... anyone got anything to back this up ? I thought these devices had exactly the same LCD panel in them ?
I dunno if I can be bothered with the whole returns process thing if all others out there are the same....
Side by side - all on full brightness...
from left to right
iphone 4s
iphone 5
iphone 5SHy james!

Since two days the right side of my screen (iphone 5s gold 64Gb) became Yellow with a normal use.
If i touch the alluminium case i feel that the temperature is increase a lot and at the same time i see a stain in the right side of my screen.
My iphone is out of warranty.
Maybe your problem is similar of mine? -
Lenovo G550 laptop - red, blue, yellow specks and lines on screen
Hello,
I have a 2 year old Lenovo G550 laptop, system model 20023 ( Dual-Core CPU T4300 2,10Ghz, 3,00GB RAM) running 32-bit Win 7 Home Premium OS with graphic card Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family.
Month ago, I started getting 2 vertical lines on my screen, which change colors and tend to disappear when I tilt it. Recently, problem graduated to red, blue, yellow specks all over the screen. Tilting no longer works, but I noticed a definite relationship with the degree of pressure on the case. When I push hard enough on the left spot below the case (where hard disk is located), the problem resolves completely. I also tried plugging another monitor in and there seems to be no problem either. Please, help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Graphic card issue sounded highly unlikely with the external monitor image appearing to be normal. I tried reseating the lcd cable and it fixed the problem.

Does your iPad 3 have a yellow hue?
Just got my iPad 3 set up. I had original iPad, iPad 2 to compare. Screen on iPad 3 has a noticeable yellow hue. Does yours?
I ordered an AT&T and a Verizon iPad 3 because I couldn't decide which one I wanted. By the time I got them, I decided I wanted to go with Verizon.
However, the displays on the two iPads were significantly different. The Verizon iPad was yellowish, and the AT&T IPad is bright white and gorgeous. Side by side, there's definitely a difference.
I exchanged the Verizon one for another one -- it was also yellowish.So I'm going to keep the AT&T one and return the Verizon one.
I asked a friend who works at Apple, and he said they are probably made in different factories. Also, I heard that there are multiple manufacturers of those retina displays, so that might be another reason. The guy at the apple store said, (and I quote), "Well, they're not all going to be identical." I don't know if I expected identical, but for $903.76 I expect it to be a lot closer. If I wanted something marginal, I'd buy a $200 tablet, right? (Note: Even my Kindle Fire is brighter than the Verizon iPad).
I'm not sure I would have noticed if I hadn't seen the bright white one, so I'm glad I did. It's disappointing that I have to keep the AT&T one instead of the Verizon one, but I read more than I'm going to use a data plan, so it's more important to get the right display. -
I have a MacBook Pro, 10.10.2 Yosemite. My external hard drive no longer appears on my screen or in Time Machine. I have gone into Disc Utility to repair disc, and get the message: Error: Partition map check failed because no slices were found. I was trying to follow Melophage's instructions by going into "Terminal" and entering "diskutil list; diskutil cs list; mount" and "diskutil info disk2." Then I entered the command "sudo got show disk1." I am sure I have made the problem worse. Can you give me some help? Thank you. blelambert

have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if that makes a difference with the heat? -
At log-in Firefox the screen opened up with the message "Oops, We're embarrassed, we are having trouble closing tabs" or similar wording directing me to click on a tab to continue, which I did. At which time a screen full of rows of thumbnail pictures of a young girl in appeared on the screen. Some of the pictures had the girl imitating a sexual act. When I tried to close out of the screen by clicking on the 'X' at the top right of the screen, another screen opened with another larger picture of this little girl. I finally got out of Firefox. When I open it up again the message wasn't on the screen. As these pictures were disturbing I cleared them out of my history.
My questions are - 1. Since these pictures appeared to be of a minor, can you backtrack to the source to find out where they originated and have something done about the individual who posted them? And,
2. - Did my clicking on the link as directed - by Firefox, I thought - open my computer up to the personal information on my computer being compromised?

I got my ipad2 replaced yesterday. And this new ipad started giving me problem by crashing aps. Then I restored the ipad twice but the problem was still there. I called apple and they fixed it by doing Reset All Settings. But now I have this weird problem. When I open Mail the screen flickers random blue and gray appeared on the screen. I took a video too. Will that happen again? Is it hardware problem? This ipad2 32GB was replaced yesterday and I think it is refurbished. Are replace product refurbished?
There is no way for anyone here to know if your replacement iPad is a refurbished unit. Per Apple's replacement policy, replacements can be refurbished units. If you feel the unit is not working correctly, take it back, let them check it out and if found defective, they will replace that unit.
