New to Mac

Okay so I just got a macbook pro on Monday and I love it except for one thing, which I find odd so hopefully someone here can help me out.

There's a problem with the display that happens sporadically but I don't really know how to describe it, and since I'm new to mac I have no idea how to post images on here, so can someone be kind enough to tell me :Blushing: (it's probably really simple and I'll feel stupid afterwards but hey I have an excuse right)?

And then hopefully someone could tell me what's going on with the screen once they see a picture?


A million thanks in advance!

Hit 'CMD+SHIFT+3' to take a screenshot of your screen and then post it here.

Thank you; I should have described my post better though.

My screen is fine now, but when it was messed up I took a picture and sent it to my email. So what I what to know is how do I post the picture from my email on to here?

Thank you.

Actually I figured it out

Thank you though.

So now that you guys see the picture can anyone tell me why it does that?

Here are some more (sorry if this is not the place to post this):

It doesn't happen often, but still it's concerning.

You need to upload it to a image hosting service (photobucket, imageshack, etc) then post it on here like this:

[img*]www.thewebsitehere.com[*/img]

Without the *'s. Or better yet just post the web address for the image.

I posted the pictures, anyone know what's wrong?

You posted links to gmail.

Oh god I'm clueless.

Lol I'll try again thanks for letting me know.

Hopefully it works now.

Looks like a bad GPU.

Do you still have a warranty on it? I would take it into an Apple store and have them look at it.

Yes, I got it three days ago.
Is it easily fixable?

Thank you!

I would call the nearest Apple store as they could give you more info. As far as an at home fix, I would not recommend as you might void the warranty or something might get messed up.

Straight back to the store where you purchased it and demand a replacement.

Read up on Return and Refund beforehand:-

This looks normal to me. Enjoy your new computer!

I would be at the Apple store yesterday with that. They will take care of you.

I would ring up your local Apple store and make a Genius Bar appointment. And take the Mac in to let them have a look at it. But I would take some photos of the issue too. Just in case they can't replicate the issue instore you have the photographic proof of the issue.

Thank you everyone for your help!
I've made my appointment for tomorrow and have pictures also.

Hopefully it is easily fixable.

Thanks again.

Update:
Okay so they ended up just giving me a new mbp. Good thing I didn't upload much and all my pictures are on photobucket.

Thanks again to everyone here for being so nice and helpful.

Remember to take the screen shots with you as it's bound not to play up in store.
