10.4.9 and corrupted screen display

I updated my 1.83Ghz MacBook Pro to 10.4.9 today, but when I wake it from sleep, the screen display is severely corrupted. I need to hit the power button, and get it to sleep/wake up again before the screen clears and the machine is usable. Anyone else notice this?

I am experiencing the same issue on a new MacBook Pro after going to sleep.
However, you can actually enter your log-in details (if you've set up log-in after sleep under security), and access the Finder, but the screen is still corrupted.
However, if I close the lid, and reopen, the problem resolves itself, i.e. the screen is no longer corrupted, and I can log-in as normal, i.e. so, you don't need to power cycle.
Previously, I tried resetting P-RAM, and that also seemed to temporarily resolve the issue, but it occurred again about a week later.
I have a feeling it may be something to do with the "Safesleep" file being corrupted, and I have tried to disable that via Terminal using the following command (usual disclaimer about making changes via Terminal): sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
(NB. default setting is 3 if you want to turn this feature back on).
I tried that yesterday, and the issue hasn't re-occurred yet, but will keep you posted. I suspect that isn't really the issue, because I'm not always trying to recover from the safesleep file, i.e. just normal sleep after a few minutes without any power loss.

A536 corrupted screen display

Hi,
Good day!
Anyone can help me with my A536 phone?
It has corrupted screen display (with horizontal lines)
Please see attached pictures for your reference.
Thanks,
PJ

Factory restore would restore everything back to default, note that factory restore would delete all data and apps.
This would narrow down if there are any apps which could be causing lines issue. Also I would suggest to do a System Update first. If that does not help then factory restore. If factory restore does not help then service center.

You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.

Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown

Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown immediately.
Repeat and crashes again. Help it won't start!

Solved! Tried everything in the support documents and none of it worked. Massive frustration with Adobe Chat staff who know nothing and just kept telling me to look at the support documents over and over. They also gave me a contact number in Australia that has a recorde d message saying the product is not supported! What is that about?
Finally Anand from Adobe tech support called me (from when I reopened the original support case that gave me the serial number).
Just had to rename folder SLCache in c:\program files(x86) and reaccept the EULA and reactive. Now everything works fine. Way to hard.

ATI Displays rotate corrupted screen display

I'm running Mac OS Tiger and running AT Displays 4.5.6 and I tried to use the rotate command. I am not running an external monitor. Now the screen is rotated but totally garbled except for the mouse pointer. Even if I restart the PowerBook the screen gets messed up just before the log-in so I can't change the preference back. The computer is unusable in this condition.
I am able to start-up the computer via an eDrive I had created on a separate partition so I know the PowerBook still works fine and I can access the hard drive, but what files do I remove to get rid of this problem? Or is there some other way to get around this?

mine did this too. It used to not be a problem under 10.4.2, but the one time I tried it after upgrading to 10.4.3 it did it, I ain't trying it again.
I paniced a bit too, however, all you have to do is start up without the extensions loading (cmd shift at login). At that point my display became usuable again. I tried narrowing the pref file down, but didn't nail it - after removing all the prefs, then slowly adding them back 50% at a time through restarts I couldn't reestablish it, so I presume that one of the prefs file was remade for a standard orientation, and slipped through my net.
I repeat though, it does NOT require a reinstall, but until it's resolved, I shan't be trying to rotate the screen for better bedtime movie watching
cheers

I turned on my iphone this am and the screen display is larger than the phone and I can't resize it. How can I make it smaller?

The screen display on my iPhone won't resize. How can I make it smaller?

You have Zoom on... double tap with three fingers to turn it off. Go into Settings > General > Accessibility to disable it.

Hetis 965 and large-screen displays

Has anybody tried to use Hetis 965 barebone (or any MSI motherboards based on Intel 965G chipset) with 24" LCD monitors? I wonder whether the barebone provides native support for 1920x1200 resolution.

From: http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/index.htm

If you want to watch video on your PC, then utilize Intel GMA 950 graphics for smooth video playback, native 16:9 format support for wide screen flat panels, motion compensation for smooth DVD playback and support for popular HDTV display formats.
I guess the answer is yes then
FYI, you can find the latest 965G graphics drivers here:

Hi, Kindly assist my phone went frozen and no screen display

Hi,

Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start. If still nothing, connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

Ipod permanetly on hold and DND screen displayed - Help!

hooked up my iPod to my PC and then attempted to start up iTunes. After several failed attempts to start up iTunes (i.e., double-clicked several times, waited, and nothing happened), I disconnected my iPod. Only then I was able to start up iTunes. However, the "Do Not Disconnect" notification is frozen on the iPod screen. I tried to reconnect the iPod to my PC (with and without iTunes running) and the iPod screen remained frozen. The computer no longer recognised the ipod as a drive, nor in itunes. The hold icon remains permantly on even after toggling the hold switch on/off several times. Resetting the ipod does not work as the click wheel is not responsive (ipod on permanent hold)

If holding the MENU and SELECT (center) button doesn't work, you might just have to let the battery completely discharge. This will force the iPod to reset the next time you connect it to power.

Problems with safair and yahoo screen display

Is anone else having issues with their screen flashing when they use safari and go into their yahoo email account? Only from mail. And only on the inbox screen.

My mac screen flickers in yahoo email

When I try to open a picture it does open but closes very quickly and the screen displays a black border with a white circle and a ! in the middle????? Help!!! GM

WHEN I OPEN A PICTURE FROM IPHOTO IT CLOSES VERY QUICKLY AND A BLACK BORDER WITH A WHITE CIRCLE WITH AN ! IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. WHEN IT START A SLICE SHOW THE PICTURES ARE NOT THERE. HELP!!!!

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Other than that, what version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later try
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Good morning...all of a sudden my email stopped working and the screen displayed nothing at all.

I tried to log out but it said to try again quit mail and choose log out from the apple menu. I went to quit mail but it was faded out and I could not click on it. I then went to the task bar at the bottom and tried to click on mail but nothing happened. I also turned off my computer and turned it back on again, email still not available. This just seems to be on my iMac. I am receiving email messages on my iPhone and iPad. Oh, Safari still works on my iMac!!
Help.....

You've left out some very basic information: iMac model and Mac OS version.
There are four broad familues of iMac going back to 1998, and they have different troubeshooting procedures. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu to see your OSX version, While there tell what the same window says for "Processor." That will at least narrow your model to its family.

TS1372 I have iPod Classic in Disk Mode and when i connect it to my apple computer it does not appear in iTunes and the screen displays a message saying "Do not disconnect" with a circle with a line through it, flashing. What do I do now?

I have iPod Classic in Disk Mode and what do I do next cause it's not showing up in iTunes?

Does the iPod appear on your desktop as an external hard drive? Has the iPod ever successfully connected before? Disconnect your iPod and reset it using the Select (Center) and Menu button combo. Then reboot your Mac, open iTunes, and reconnect your iPod to a high powered USB 2.0 port and see if it's recognized.
Have you worked through all the troubleshooting here?

Brand new Thinkstation D10 server fails to boot, no beeps or screen display

This server had been working fine for several weeks and today I needed to reboot it. It has been rebooted several times before so so I wasn't trying something new. I hit the Vista Start button and it immediately shut down. I couldn't recall if Vista prompts you to Stand-by/restart/shutdown but I think it does - this time it didn't. :/ Afterwards, it would not boot.
I tried:
Unplugging and replugging it in: it then attempted to boot but shut itself down again after about 30s.
a Power Supply Reset
Reseating the memory cards
Removing one of the 4GB memory cards
Trying the other memory card
Swapping the two memory cards
Inserting a bootable disk (it never gets to the point of reading anything although the drive spins up)
Checking that everything in the system board was plugged in
Making sure none of the wires were hitting anything else (shorting out)
When replacing that annoying cover from over the memory cards, made sure again I was not pinching any wires
The server does not beep and the (directly connected) monitor never comes alive to display anything when I attempt to reboot.
Per the docs, I observed the power supply Diagnostic LEDs and front panel Power LED while attempting to boot and only the green Diagnostic LED on the power supply is ever activated. The table indicated this means replace the system board.
Aack!
Before I head for the support # and an eventual shipment back to Lenovo, would it be worth my while to try and replace the CMOS battery? Or would a failure of that battery still have resulted in some indication of the problem (beeping and/or screen display)? Can anyone think of something else to check?
Just thought I'd ask around before assuming that I'm stuck with the system board diagnosis).
Thanks

The list of things that will make a computer power down on it's own before it can ever get into the OS or initiate a video feed is a short list.
A CPU thermal trip usually occurs within 30 seconds. This can be cause by a loose or improperly seated heat sink or a failure in the thermal grease coverage. If your D10 arrived with one CPU and you recently installed a second CPU, try taking the second CPU out. Should this work, verify the second CPU is the exact match to the first CPU and that the thermal grease is properly applied to the heat sink and the heat sink is securely mounted.
Ambient temperature thermal trip usually takes longer, but can be significantly shorten if the air baffle for the memory is not installed. Computers with high Front Side Bus frequencies result in memory DIMMS that get very hot.
DC power trip. This can happen if too much power is being drawn through any of the PCI ports or through the power supply itself.
When you are using a highend video card, check to see if the video card has it's own power connector(a small six lead box). If it does, there is a power connector, from the power supply, to plug into it. Without that power plugged in, the video card may appear to hum, and the it will draw too much power through the PCI slot.
Should you have added any additional PCI adapters, try removing these for a test. If that works, add one card back in at a time to isolate the offending PCI card.
Disconnect any USB or Firewire devices you may have attached, including the mouse and keyboard. If it comes back up and you have video, power down and reconnect the keyboard and mouse only and try again.
If you have the memory card reader option and kids, check to make certain no one has inserted something into the memory card readers. My kid inserted a quarter into one of the slots on my reader. My workstation powered down pretty fast. Consider moving the workstation to higher ground.
Last by not least, disconnect any additional optical drives you may have added. Some SATA devices have both the standard PC power connector and the SATA power connector. Do not connect both of these power sources to the same drive. The drive will be damaged and your computer will not stay powered on for very long.
Should this all fail to resolve the issue, contact Lenovo support. To make your support experience faster and more pleasurable, send them this list of things you tried. If this list of possible fixes fails, it's probably a power supply or system board issue, and I would start with the power supply.
If an electronic device has a defect it will fail within the first 90 days. Once you get it past the first 90 days, it is generally good for years.
I hope this helps!!!

Windows 7: No On-Screen Display

I have updated my T60 to Windows 7 and have installed all the latest drivers for my system. I have installed the latest drivers for hotkey and system interface, but still cannot get the on screen display to show up. I do get the on screen display tab on my thinkpad display settings, but if I apply them nothing works. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem on my T61P. This site had the solution.
http://superuser.com/questions/83367/lenovo-t61-mute-button-and-on-screen-display-mute-indicator-doe...
Basically insert shortcuts to
c:\drivers\hotkey\osd\lvosdsvc.exe
c:\drivers\hotkey\osd\tponscr.exe
c:\drivers\hotkey\osd\tposdsvc.exe
into your startup folder and it works.
