So I noticed recently that when I try to watch YouTube videos or Netflix in full screen on my Macbook Air, the whole screen will wash out with orange and yellow and I can't see anything, but it's perfectly fine if I don't watch it in fullscreen. And on Netflix if I use subtitles, it's normal when someone is talking, but when the text disappears the screen gets an orange tint again. I've tried calibrating the colors through the display section of system preferences but it always tells me that there is an error. I've searched for someone who is having a similar problem but haven't found anyone. Please help! Thank you.

I have an MacBookPro with Windows installed via BootCamp.  I copied a video off the iPhone and saved it on the windows partition.  The thumbnail of the video looks upside down.  When I play it in Windows Media Player or VLC, the video looks upside down.  When I play it in the QuickTime player (still on Windows), it looks right side up.  I then boot into MacOS.  The thumbnail looks right side up and when I play it it looks right side up.  So what is going on - which app/os is telling me the truth?  I want to make sure because I want to upload it to youTube and the file is huge, so don't feel like wasting time/bandwidth.  P.S. EDIT: Just like a couple of folks pointed out - some programs are ignoring the orientation tag.  I tried it on Windows 8 and all programs seem to respect the tag (including Windows Media Player and Movie Maker and Video applet in Metro screen). So good progress.

I have a mid 2009 MBP which was heating up way to fast because of the fan; then I bought a new one and changed it. I also applied a new thermal grease. Plugged all the cables, tightened all the screws, reset SMC, reset NVRAM and turned on.  The heat is gone and its running perfectly now, but:   the display started showing some "blurry ghosts" at the bottom of the screen which won't show if I take a screenshot, so I took a photo that you can see below.      the keyboard backlight isn't turning on. I tried to unplug and plug the cable over and over again, but nothing happened. the camera isn't working at all. All I see is a black screen.    Is there anything I can do to fix any of these issues?

In the bottom right corner of my Macbook Pro (running MacOS 10.15.3 Catalina with a second screen connected as main), sometimes, there is a region (invisible) where I just can't move the cursor to. I need to restart the MacBook Pro to let me access the region with my mouse cursor. The cursor just won't pass this region, just as if the screen has ended there. I have added a screenshot below and drawn the region. I read about applications that might behave weird and cause such an issue, but the problem persists even when all apps are closed. What could this be? Are there any known issues? Or yet better, known solutions? ... Update 1:  I have appended a screenshot of my arrangement and drawn a yellow box of the area which is not accessible.  Update 2:  The cursor is blocked from reaching the region in the third screenshot (I cannot reach the Files folder for example).  Update 3:  Today (2020/05/25, using Mac OS 10.15.4), the problem re-occured, but the non-accessible area has changed to the top-left, with the available height only being as much as the system menu and a width of 90%. (For example, I have a window in full height/width and I can no longer move the mouse cursor to the 'minimize' or 'close' window buttons).  Update 4:  2020/10/30, (using macOS 10.15.7) I returned my 15&quot; MacBook Pro, because I thought the problem only appears on them. I encountered the same problem on a 13&quot; MacBook with completely different apps installed. I suspect more and more that it's a very rare (race) condition / scaling bug in the OSX core that handles multiple display screens. The problem also happens on macOS 11.1 Big Sur.      Note: In the , someone has posted a video screenshot of what happens.

I'm new to macOS and I really like the way you can assign a window to be it's own Desktop via full-screening. However, I have an issue with the default way the Menu bar works in full-screen.   I often move my cursor to the top of the screen to click on my tabs in my browsers and editors, and accidentally trigger the Menu bar obscuring my tabs. Other times I'd like the Menu bar to be available at a glance rather than having to trigger it by mousing up.  Is there some setting or application that will force the Menu bar to show at all times for full-screened windows?  It appears I'm not the first to have this issue, but the solutions in  didn't work for me and based on the comment for the top answer it won't work for anyone.  If there is no way to do this can anyone give me a hint where I can get started writing an application to do this?  PS: Please don't suggest that I simply hold alt when clicking the fullscreen green button or anything else like just resize the window to fill the screen". This doesn't solve my issue because it strips away many of the advantages of fullscreening.

How to watch Youtube fullscreen on one monitor of a dual-monitor display, in Linux?  If I do it in Google Chrome, as soon as I do anything at the other monitor, Chrome jumps back to normal window.  Edit: added that OS is Linux.

On our Macbook Air (Mid-2011 11", OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks), starting a few days ago, every time we open Finder windows, the right side just shows screen artifacts/cheese. File Open dialogs in MS Word work fine - it is just the Finder windows with the problem.  Can someone help?  I have tried rebooting, and Verify Disk in Disk Utility. Neither helped. Maybe I should upgrade to El Capitan? But why would this start happening all of a sudden?

I have Blank screen disabled but my PC seems to be ignoring this. This issue also ignores the  extension. This is pretty recent behavior as it's been working for a long while now.    Disabling idle-dim in dconf seems to have done it.

My 15 inch MacBook Pro recently has horizontal stripes on the screen. It looks like this:  It happens randomly and sometimes it gets worse (flickering with horizontal lines,stripes)  Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix it?  No such issue during the past year...it has just started happening since yesterday.

This is on an Early 2011 Macbook Pro 17" with i7 2.2ghz and the Intel + Radeon HD6750:     If it is a screen error then I don't mind fixing it myself, but if the GPU is the problem, I'm worried I might have to buy a new logic board assuming I can't use the GPU.

I want to display a text over a video. However, the video may include any color from white to black. What is the best text effect (color/stroke/shadow/glow ... etc) that can be applied on the text so that it will be very clear on any background color.

A couple months ago, I started to see some very small stain spots on the bottom of my MacBook Pro early 2015 screen. It's very annoying to see while I'm using it. When the screen is turned off, I see it as in the picture below. But when it's turned on, I see it as very small water-ish drops. I tried to clean it using water, screen cleaner, and even alcohol, but it didn't go away.  Also that area doesn't feel as smooth as the unaffected area. So, I think it's on the outside of my screen not inside.  Have you ever seen this before? Any suggestions on how to remove it without the need of replacing the whole screen?

My laptop has a 15-inch 4k display. Almost everything works perfectly, but some applications don't scale and are too small to use. Some examples: Hipchat, Ardour, Steam, Gimp, etc.   Is there a way for me to solve this? I've seen to use xrandr to set DPI before running the app, but that seems to have no effect (or I'm doing it wrong.)  If I could fix this one problem I'd have everything working perfectly.  Also, I'm using Gnome, but the issue was the same in Unity.

I never had this problem until today. When I watch a youtube video everything is fine, until I make the video fullscreen. It actually continues to play perfectly when fullscreen, but when I then exit fullscreen my sidebar and topbar are gone, and the screen is just frozen. Also my cursor is gone. It does seem to respond to ALT-F4, but it takes about 15 seconds to even close the window, and after that everything is unusable (basically frozen). What's strange though, when I re-enter fullscreen after exiting (and unity being frozen) the video plays perfectly still.   For now my workaround is opening tty1 and executing pkill -u username which logs off the user. I have looked at /var/log/syslog but it seems to be empty.  Is this freezing a common problem, if not, how can I make steps to fix this?    EDIT with specs:  I'm on a simple Samsung laptop with:  Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit,  Intel® Core™ i5-3210M,  Intel® Ivybridge Mobile (So integrated intel hd graphics 4000),  8GB ram. I don't think i've ever changed my video drivers, but it's reported as i915.  Ubuntu is up to date, and my browser is Chrome 40.0.2214.91 (64-bit). (Will test out now with firefox, but already posting this because my pc might freeze again)     EDIT 2: It doesn't freeze on Firefox. Will try reinstalling chrome now... EDIT 3: Reinstalling chrome didn't help. Will try chrome 32-bit too now...

Currently, embedded YouTube videos don't allow you to fullscreen them. Clicking the button shows the frustrating message Fullscreen is unavailable.  An example answer with an embedded video (embedding isn't enabled on on this site):    It looks like this is really easy to fix, see for example . Could this be enabled?

I have a Dell S2316H monitor which I connect to my MacBook Pro (early 2015) using the built in HDMI port. The fonts are looking very blurry on the external monitor.  I own the MacBook for about a week. Previously I used my monitor with my Dell laptop which had Ubuntu installed on it. When I plug the monitor with my Ubuntu machine, the fonts are smooth and looks good. But when I plug it with the MacBook, the fonts are very blurry.  I know this is a common issue but I'm unable to find a solution. I do not have any DVI port on my monitor so I can't use the solution from . Also tried this script , but no changes. I tried with different font smoothing level too. Is there really any solution for this problem?
