Is this on all MBPs, or is there something wrong with my screen?

i know what you mean and it is around the whole display where the image is. and it is normal.

It should be around 1-3 mm tick this area around the display real estate and the black edge around the screen. and it should be on all 4 sides of the screen.

 

no problem. you should even be able to see that on your ipod touch but the black/brown frame around your display would be around 0,5 - 1 mm

just glad to help

 

that i cant help with but i have not had that issue more than ones myself. and that was this morning.

not really an issue but strange.

anyone out there that have seen it before?

going to do a little search in the forum for some answers

 

Hello there

I might be able to help. After i upgraded my harddrive and did a full carbon copy my mac was doing that also. I would turn it on, white screen for like 10 seconds and then the apple would appear. What i did was go to system preferences>startup disk> and make sure youre hard drive is highlighted. If this works, the reason why it took a while for apple to appear was because it had to search for a hard drive at the beginning.

Hope this helps.

 

This happens a lot when you install new updates or programs.

CoolBook does this too sometimes.

 

I've experienced this too, even when I haven't made absolutely any changes or installs recently. I'd agree that mine probably happens once a month also. I don't know what it's doing but I've assumed it to be the norm.

 

I also found that I needed to do this after changing HDDs.
