Mac Pro Screen not displaying correctly

I have had a problem with my mac which is i have recently bought. The problem is that occasionally the screen will become fragmented and be all over the place and i am unable to see anything and i have to restart the laptop. This happens at least twice a day and can happen when i shut the lid of the mac or i am on it. Another problem that i have is that a message often pops up stating that my mac has to restart and i'm not really sure why. If anyone else has this problem and has sorted it out please let me know.

  • Mac air screen not displaying correctly

    I have a Mac Air 13' screen. Recently I was using it and someone put a lemon head on the keyboard and slammed the screen down on it for no reason.
    The screen is now displaying a grey screen with a white vertical line down the middle. When I turn the computer off and then back on the screen is
    exactly the same. When I type I cannot see anything that I type. I have a two year warranty on my computer. I am just wanting to know if there is anytthing
    that I can do without sending it in. If there is not, who or what am I supposed to call to send in the computer to fix it. Also would Ribbit computers or another computer repair store, would they be able to fix my screen without me sending it in to Apple. Any information would be appreciative and very helpful! Thanks for reading!

    In order for us to give your problem our undivided attention to try to solve it, would you kindly start your own thread, describing the trouble you are having in the fullest detail, including completing your details to show what Mac or iDevice you are using, what operating system, and what version of the application in question.

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

  • Outlook web login screen not displaying correctly on Exchange 2007 service pack install

    Hello everyone,
    I believe our exchange server installed a service pack 3 update and after rebooting the server, we noticed that the Outlook web access login screen is not displaying correctly.  The page looks white with some black X's (I think that's where the
    pictures/background images used to be).  We tried to restart the ISS service with no luck.  I would appreciate any help you guys can provide.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I have seen this issue in another similar thread, that issue was solved by re-creating the OWA virtual directory.
    Please try the following steps to solve this issue.
    Open EMC, navigate to Server Configuration -> Client Access, under Outlook Web App tab, double-click owa (default web site) properties.
    Then check InternalURL, ExternalURL, Forms-Based Authentication settings ect
    Open EMS, use Get-OwaVirtualDirectory get the list of virtual directories and identify the directory which is giving the problem.
    Remove it with this command
    Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory “owa (Default Web Site)”
    Now create it again with the following command
    New-OwaVirtualDirectory -OwaVersion “Exchange2007″ -Name “owa (Default Web Site)”
    Then configure the “owa” virtual directory settings like InternalURL, ExternalURL, Forms-Based Authentications etc… & check the OWA by logging with some test users.
    Best Regards.

  • Screen not displayed correctly using InteractiveViewer

    I have created a report that prompts the User for Start and End dates.  When the Prompt dialogue box is displayed using interactiveViewer the images are not displayed correctly.
    Does anybody have a fix for this problem ??
    Example attached.

    My guess is that the toolbars don't show up when you view the reports either.
    There should be a virtual directory called 'crystalreportviewers' on your webserver. This is where you will find all the images supplied by the viewer.
    Right click on the image that is having problems and select properties.  This should give you location of the viewer.
    You should be able to trouble shoot this way be comparing the actual path with the real path of the missing images.
    Hopefully this will help.

  • Mac Pro (SCREEN NOT WORKING)

    Hi,
    When i start mine mac pro, i hear the boooing sound, the fans are working too.
    But only there is nothing appearing on the screen, SOMTIMES THE SCREEN WORKS AND SOMETIMES NOT  ... i'm using a VGA>DVI connector for it mine model is :
    Mac Pro  (2008)
    2.8GHz Xeon (Quad-core)
    2GB PC2-6400 DIMM
    32GB
    Mac OS X 10.5.8
    ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
    320GB 7200RPM SATA 3.5"
    Model number: A1186
    Anybody?
    thanks in advance !!

    The Analog VGA signal is generated by the graphics card, directly into the pins at the end of the DVI-I port on the computer. All the adapter does is shuffle the signals to get them onto the correct pins on the DB-15 (three-row) connector.
    So as long as all the connections are good and no pins are bent, the display card itself (or possibly the display) is the most likely failure.
    The Apple-firmware 5770 is a good replacement card for ALL models of Mac Pro. Accelerated operation requires 10.6.5 or later, so you would need to upgrade your Mac OS X version.
    The other question is, how attached are you to that old VGA monitor? Are you sure it is still working correctly? How about a new digital display with better picture quality and higher resolution??

  • Captivate 6 Slide Audio screen not displaying correctly

    Upon trying to rerecord a slides's audio today this screen opened up - I could record, but not save because the save button is not displaying.  I was able to record new audio on the same project on Friday.  I tried deleting and recodring new audio and the same screen came up.  I tried a different project - same thing happened.  I rebooted twice.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    If you check the address bar of your screenshot, you will see that you are in "C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Adobe" folder
    Might be a possiblity that "Local Settings" folder is hidden, click on Tools -> Folder Options, under View tab, you have the option to "Show hidded files and folders"
    You will see Local Settings folder once you click on OK, then you can access C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe and rename "Captivate 6.0" folder.
    Hope this helps !!
    Thanks,

  • IPad air screen not displaying correctly

    My iPad Air screen has recently started displaying with a pink hue in two of the corners, showing as a medium sized oval in one corner and a small circle in the other. There are also some vertical pink streaks that are less marked. It's really noticeable when the screen is displaying a white background. The only recent changes I have made is downloading the new IOS 8 update. There has been no trauma or damage to the iPad. It is still covered under the 1 year limited warranty. is there any way to fix this in my own?! Thank you!

    Hello there katelynlc,
    It sounds like you have some graphical anomolies on your screen that have a pink hue. If it is a software issue it will be resolvable by either first resetting the iPad:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Or backing up and restoring your iPad as a new device:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If restoring as new does resolve it, restore your backup and verify it still works. 
    If not, then the iPad will need service:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Why does my passcode screen not display correctly, since ios7

    I STILL hate ios7 -- doesn't make me dizzy, but sure does hurt my eyes.  I find it MUCH hard to read the screens.  Here's an example of what I sure think is a BUG, with this new display design -- my passcode screen is SUPPOSED to look like the one on the left (and it occasionally/rarely does), but it USUALLY looks like the one on the right.  Keypresses are not in any way indicated -- you can't really tell what number you're hitting, and you can't see if you've accidentally hit it more than once, or how many you've entered.
    Am I the only one experiencing this?

    Okay, I figured out from other posts that, if I change from my background to an Apple-provided background, I don't have this problem.
    So the next question is -- WHAT is required of a custom background (due to the overload of whiteness/brightness in ios7, it's REALLY important to me to have my background be all black, to provide the contrast I need to see things) for it to really work, in ios7?  Why doesn't the all black background that I used, with no problem, in ios6, work anymore?

  • FileMaker Pro icons not displaying correctly

    After updating to Yosemite, all of my FileMaker Pro document icons are displayed as generic icons (juts the outline of a piece of paper). This occurs both in Finder and on the Dock.
    Other document icons seem okay. If I do a Get Info on a document, the icon seems okay in the Get Info window.
    Does anyone know how to correct this behavior?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, coreworksnet.
    I was also seeing this problem with FM 13. I was able to get around it, but it was a headache. I had to go into each individual DB file and do a Get Info. That dialog shows the icon for the document (which, strangely enough, showed the correct icon). I then copied the icon over from the FM app (which visually did nothing). But once I closed the Get Info dialog, the icon for the DB file was correct.
    Repeat a few dozen times for all of my DB files, and it seems okay now.

  • Variable Screen not displaying correctly

    Our BW install is BI 7.0, with BEx still in the BI 3.5.  We do not have any web-based reporting.  We have deployed the SAP 7.20 GUI with front-end patch 4.  One office is testing the installation with Win 7, Office 2010.  When executing a workbook from BEx Browser it takes a long time for Excel to initialize and then when the variable screen does appear there are missing descriptions.  A mouse over or a check of the variables will repaint that screen and populate the missing descriptions. 
    Has anyone experienced this issue?  I have tried to recreate this issue, but I have not been successful.  The installation has been redone several times and testing is consistent. 
    Thank you for your time.
    Karen

    Karen,
    Thank you for your reply.  The installation of the GUI was on a PC that was completely clean.  Since this is in a test environment, the IT office had that luxury.  They did a fresh install of MS Office and then the SAP GUI.  We ran the installation check earlier today and are reviewing the results to determine why this particual install is not working. 
    Thanks!

  • Screen not displaying correctly.

    I recently plugged my iPad in to charge.  About an hour later, I unplugged the iPad and went to use it.  When I turn the screen on there are small vertical lines dancing all over the screen.  I can barely make out my background behind these lines.  It looks like the touch screen is fine, however I cant see my desktop because of the lines.  Any ideas?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
