OS X Mavericks :: How To Get Rid Of Shadowed Border Around Screen On MacBook Pro
Jul 1, 2014
how to get rid of this shadowed border on the screen of my macbook pro. I think my young daughter made it appear when she was striking various keys at random on my computer when I was not there. The cursor does not work when its over the shadow (i.e. will not depress the red 'x' button to exit a window and I have to drag window out from under shadow to close it).
It also appears in the middle of screen when airplay is turned on. (See screen shots below)
Above is screen normally and below is when airplay is turned on.

A tiny piece of the inside border around the screen on my white macbook chipped off. It's on the far right right above the thing I don't know how to describe it but it looks like this: --------. I don't have warranty or apple care or anything like that anymore but i was wondering how much it would cost to repair. Would it be a quick fix that I can just pick up later in the day? I heard that simple repairs like this cost around 40 or 50 dollars but I don't know really.
I bought my Macbook from someone so I don't have the receipt or anything but I do have some papers from when he went to repair cracks before. I don't know I'm really good with my MacBook since I got it used and it was already sort of beat up. I've never slammed it shut so I don't even know how it cracked.

i have, in the past, had my macbook's palm rest crack. I brought it into apple, and was happy to have it replaced, free of charge. Recently, the plastic cracked again, this time in a new place. The plastic border above the screen; more particularly the area directly above the indents that come out to help separate the screen from the keyboard. I'm not sure if this is covered by Apple's policy with cracked palmrests. Any advice or help is appreciated of course. If you think Apple won't help me, would it be risky to use an adhesive to hold the plastic down, as it's near the screen?

I am getting these black border boxes around my web pages, text input boxes, around some of the icons on my desktop, widgets, and small sections of different websites around the screen.
When I typed this message there was a box around the text input section, after I scrolled down the box stayed in the middle of my screen (this time not around a particular section). All the other stuff on the screen scrolled up and the box remained in the same place.

All of the icons and screens have been blown up which extends beyond the boundary of the monitor. It acts as though the display has been magnified and the Dock and other frames disappear off the screen.How to reset this to normal display?

I've seen a few posts about this problem on Macrumors and through Google searches, but I haven't found a solution to the "Black Border" problem some of us are having when connecting Macs to HDTV's via HDMI cables. Nor am I certain what the cause of the problem is: Mac?, TV?, HDMI cable length?
For me, resetting PRAM by holding Command-Option-P-R at startup and waiting for two chimes removes the black border for up to several computer restarts, but eventually the border comes back until I reset PRAM, again.
I have a 55' long HDMI cable from Monoprice ("HDMI Tin-Plated Copper CL2 Rated (For In-Wall Installation) Cable (22AWG) - 35ft (Gold Plated)") running from a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon video card to a 52" Mitsubishi 1080p HDTV.
To clarify, this is not just a black bar at the top and bottom like when watching certain DVD's, but a black border around all four sides that effectively reduces the size of your TV from, e.g. 52" to 46" whether watching movies, surfing the web, or otherwise using the Mac via an HDTV

Kinda as the title says, I've fixed my macbook upto my tv with a mini dv to dvi > dvi to hdmi and it works great. But, theres a black border around whatever I view. It's manageable to watch, but I would much prefer the full screen.

I am working on a short film for youtube. And I am wanting to find out how to put this slightly blurred border around the video. I am editing this video in FCE. Also I know how to do color correcting in FCE but is there any other way I can make the colors look as HD as possible?

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have been unable to print borderless documents from Pages.app onto plain A4 paper using my Epson R2400. Under page setup, I select A4 > Borderless Sheet Feeder but then under the print window, the option to print on plain paper is greyed out:
If I go back to page setup and change the paper size to non-borderless (e.g. standard A4) I do have the option to print onto plain paper. But of course I loose the borderless printing.
The problem with using the Premium Matte Paper setting for printing borderless is that the printouts are very saturated - obviously the printer is putting down far more ink than required. I am printing onto 350 GSM card and have used this paper for a couple of years with excellent results. Traditionally I was just printing borderless with the plain paper option ticked and the results were perfect.
I followed some advice on the internet on another forum after updating to Snow Leopard and downloaded Printer Driver v6.57 for my printer. I'm told this is the most up-to-date driver currently available and was released in June. But this does not seem to fix my printing issue and the Gutenprint drivers don't seem to support borderless printing on the R2400 either.
I've phoned Epson twice now but their support is hopeless. The first time they emailed me a link to download updated drivers, but this link started downloading a .exe file which evidently was not Mac compatible. The second time I phoned I was past between assistants for a while before receiving the textbook "revert back to Leopard or wait to see if Apple fix the problem in an update" answer.
Are there any R2400 users or others with the same problem or got any solutions? My research on the internet hasn't turned up much other than a similar issue with some Canon printers.

How does one go about removing the dotted border that shows up around a link that has been clicked in Firefox? I had it turned off before, but I had to delete my profile and no longer have any clue as to how I did it.

I've got a 2001 Blue Dalmation that has 100 GB HD and is running OSX (10.4).The display is really fading and has a one inch black border around the edges. Is the display toast, and/or is it cost-effective to replace it?

A border appears around everything I click on - for example, the text box I'm typing in right now or any icons on the main screen. It moves as I'm scrolling down a page. It is annoying and I would like to get rid of it. It suddenly started doing this after my son hit several keys on the keyboard at the same time.

Is there a wayof changing the color of the border of the active cell in excecl?
I have a very difficult time seeing the pale green. I waste a fair amount of time modifying formulae because I'm in the wrong cell. Making it a different color or making it more vivid, or bold, would be great.
Tried going into Apple preferences and Excel preferences, but did not have any luck. Maybe I just didn't do the right thing once there.

after color balancing a clip I get a flickering border on top and bottom of my clips, visible in timeline and also after rendering. It's easy to see in this clip (starts around 15 seconds in): URL....
If I remove the color balance it will go away. I wonder if it has to do with the source clip being in 1080i instead of p. The preceding clip is also color balanced but is in 1080p. It's less noticeable but sometimes still there when other color correction is invoked. I'm using a late 2013 Haswell 27 in iMac with 8gb ram.

Starting my MacBook Pro running Mavericks gives me a 'Blue Screen'.
Starting using Cmd-R does not give me the option to use Internet Recovery and eventually gives a 'blue screen' (sometimes grey)
Starting using Opt gives me the choice of 'Macintosh HD' and 'Recovery-10.9.3' - both choices give me a blue (or grey) screen
Starting using 'Shift' displays a progress bar, which completes, and then gives a 'blue screen' (sometimes grey)
Starting using Cmd-S gives me a :/ root# prompt
After running fsck -fy twice I get the message: '** The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.'
typing 'exit' to attempt a re-boot gives a 'blue screen' (sometimes grey)
I have tried resetting NVRAM and PRAM
I have tried resetting SMC

I'm using macbook pro 13" late 2012 (2.5 GHz, 8GB RAM), with mavericks. As from the last week, the screen fades to white as shows in the attached picture.
At first, the phenomenon occurred just for parts of the screen - the area below windows got a mark of that window after I closed it with a faded white color. Now it's all the screen.
Notably, the colors on a second screen I tried to connect via thunderbolt are normal. However, I do believe that it's not an harder problem as it sometimes works properly - when I waked it up today it was normal for a few minutes.
I'm tried restarting, reseting SMC & PRAM and logging in with new user account, without success.

I've been using my computer like I normally do this morning. I was listening to iTunes on it and noticed it was acting a little slow and glitchy. When I went to get back on my computer I opened it up and nothing showed on the screen, it was all black. However the little white light is shining so I know it's on. I've only had my Mac for a little over a year now and have never had this problem before.

About 6 months to a year ago, I had water damage onto the macbook pro, it completely didn't work for ages, however yesterday I thought I might as well try it again, and it worked! I was super happy that the laptop worked completely fine!
However, in system properties it was only saying it has the intel chip, not the nvidia one, so I thought maybe the graphics card was broken from the water damage? I was not too sure.
I then went to upgrade to mavericks, as soon as the update finished, black screen! From the second I turn on the notebook its black, no cursor no nothing, the PC turns on fine, I can type my password, then search for itunes, hit play on the keyboard and music plays. So its literally just a pure black screen. I try to hold CMD-R when restarting the notebook and nothing, pure black screen the screen never comes on at all!

I got a new Macbook Pro Retina (mid-2014) a few weeks ago and the trackpad and screen randomly freeze even when the only thing I have open is Safari. In other words, it doesn't feel like my computer has a 2.6 GHz Processor and 8 GB 1600 Mhz Memory. My downloads folder also constantly has the loading bar under it; it goes away when I remove it from the dock and replace it, but appears again after downloading one thing.
This is really frustrating when I got a new Macbook so that I wouldn't have to deal with these types of problems. They're all issues that I never encountered with my Macbook Air (mid-2011).

In the upper right corner of my desktop there is a “Nag Screen” about installing updates. I do not want to install the updates for some time. My only choices are, in an hour, tonight, tomorrow.
This reminds me of Windows! How do I get rid of this so I can install the updates later without the annoying, constant, unnecessary reminders ?
