Easiest way to descibe it is to link to this video of it happening. There is a 'bar', either black, white, static, or rainbow of colors. See videoÂ
Nothing I do seems to make it happen, just happens. Seems to be when the Activity monitor is > 100%Â

My external display (HP w2207) seems to conflict with my MacBook Pro (15 inch Retina display, early 2013) since I upgraded MacBook OS to 10.9.4.The external display works at initial boot of Mac but does not work after OS sleeps and I attempt to awaken, and while the external display is not waking, the Retina display flashes through different screen views, which only partially reflect my normal screen, or do not reflect my normal screen at all.Â

I tried to use some software to test the display. I found when the screen goes to completely dark with the backlight on, the bottom side of my screen is brighter than other parts.... have u guys met any problem like that, or is this some problem with my MBA?
Whenever I try to use Screen Sharing to control this one particular Mac Mini, and someone else is using the mini, and I pick "Connect to Virtual Display", I get dropped to a grey linen screen. Like the login screen, but without a list of usernames or anything. There it sits. Here is what I see in the console of the mac mini when I try and use a virtual display from the other machine:Â

I have my macbook connected to my new Dynex HDTV via a VGA cord. My macbook recognizes the display and I have the displays set to mirror but nothing is showing up on my monitor. What do I need to do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently, after about 5 minutes of use (not sitting idle), my MacBook's screen will go very dim. I hit the buttons on the keyboard to take the brightness all the way up, but it doesn't get much brighter and there's only one thing that I can do to make the screen go brighter: I go into System Preferences and click Display. The second I click that, the brightness returns without me doing anything in the Display section, so after Display comes up, I just close it out and the screen brightness is fine for a while. It seems to do this after the lid has been closed for a while and then starts dimming again after opening the lid and using it for about 5 minutes. Is there a way to fix the auto-dim mode without disabling it? MacBook (white) is running Leopard 10.5.8 with all the latest updates.

I wanted to use a screen saver which is a cool clock since I do not have any alarm clock or anything in my room, and being that my MBP is always on, why not make it a clock when im not using it? I was wondering if it would be detrimental to my screen if I never let the display sleep and leave the black and white clock screen saver on all the time? Would it really make THAT much of a difference to the life of my screen?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy Dell u2711 is my primary display. Sometimes I wake up the macbook out of sleep mode and forget to have the lid shut. Consequently the Macbook screen comes on as well. Everything is working as it should but I am curious is there a quick way to switch the Macbook display on and off with the setup I have described?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new MacBook Pro because my other computer pretty much died, in that the screen can no longer be seen. The guy at the store told me it was probably a bad cable running from the computer to the monitor. Anyways, I am trying to get stuff off of my old computer with migration assistant. Right now, I cannot even see if my old computer is logged in, connected to the internet, or anything. In trying to using the network migration assistant, it prompts me to right in a set of numbers to connect with my old computer. How can I do that when I cannot see the screen? Would it work if I bought a cable to connect the two, therefore not requiring me to put in a password or numbers in my old computer?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am shooting a film using a 35mm adapter, which flips the image upside down. I'll be capturing directly to laptop. Is there any software solution (Nvidia video card) to flip the screen? Or is there capture software that can flip the image? I know you can flip in post, but we are using the Macbook Pro as a sort of makeshift video monitor, as well as capture device, to get accurate focus and to make camera work easier.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently just purchased a new macbook less than a week ago. This is also my first mac that I have ever owned. I just noticed today that when I turn the brightness all the way down, or when I go away from my computer and my screen turns black that there is a circle in the middle of my screen which I can still see what is going on in the background. Its not like its bright but you can still notice it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got the brand new 15" MBP with high res screen, and it is paired with the 24" cinema display.
First thing I noticed is the colors are way off between the two monitors and it is very annoying....I have tried calibrating both with no results, they just have way different profiles to be able to match them.
Is there a way on the older MacBooks to make the display fade down to the low setting before it sleeps? On my Pro right now, it just snaps down. Does anyone know of an application or something?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a core i7 MBP with the high res display, and when the display is showing black, a horizontal green line appears on the screen. It is only visible when the screen is showing black or another very very dark color, and the line is not visible with the screen off. It isnt something on the screen, as rubbing it does not affect it at all. I cannot post a screenshot of it, because it does not appear in the screenshot (it does on my screen, because the line is there physically, but on other monitors it is not visible).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was just working on my MBP a few minutes ago when all of a sudden the screen messes up and the desktop is jumbled up in little colored boxes. I tried restarting, with no luck. It's a few years old, and I had AppleCare, but it has expired. I'm on my iPad now (it's all I have), so I took a picture and uploaded it to my Facebook so you all can see what I'm dealing with. [URL]

don't know what happen since few weeks ago. OS X Tiger can't boot up, （blue screen and only have a mouse icon) only can boot up at safe mode (shift + power) and the screen have a lot of red square (display problems). use the install disk reinstall OX tiger 10.4.5 still the same do hardware test everything OK / now update to tiger 10.4.11 still the smae problems. my macbook pro using only 1 year, and i heard the news about many macbook pro screen have display problems so far.
I was using my Macbook Pro this morning and it was working perfectly as normal. I did a standard shut down and when I tried to turn the machine back on the display would not wake up. The machine itself is booting fine, it still makes the gong sound when booting up and I can adjust the volume and turn the caps lock on and off. I just cant see anything as the screen remains black.
I have tried the P&R boot twice and also took the battery out and removed the power source and pressed the power button for 15 secs and put it back together and tried to reboot with no change. This same issue happend about 2 months ago and a friend who worked for apple knew a command to turn on the screen and ever since there has not been a problem. Unfortunately my friend is in Australia and I'm unable to contact him. I have a University assignment due at the end of the week and I use the laptop for work so I'm really panicing!
The display looks like a photgraphic negative. Is there a simple way to change it back?

Why are colors different on my computer display from my iPhone and other platforms? Is there a way to get accurate colors on my MacBook screen? Usually pictures viewed on my laptop screen are more colorful and vivid than on my iPhone and iPad. iPad 2 isn't retina of course, but my iPhone 4 is, so I don't get why it's not as colorful...
