10.5.3 - frequent visual glitches, particularly with on-screen animations

Since updating to 10.5.3 on my MacBook Pro (Summer 2007), on-screen animations are jerky and "flashy", with distortions and corruption of the screen image, particularly in Safari. Even the default button in some dialog boxes flash on and off randomly.
Anybody seeing this issue?

This sounds like you have frequently observed power supply issues of the one of the iMac G5s listed in the two links below:

ISSUE: Visual Glitches created when file transferring with Project Manager.

I am color grading a feature film in DaVinci and the person who edited the film only logged the footage in premiere and not even all of it. So, as far as I know, the only simple solution is to use project manager to transfer all the files with their in project labels and duplicates with unique names. BUT, when I do this, I end up with visual glitches all over the transferred files. Some are minor and others are huge and for multiple frames. I have no idea what could be causing this or what I could do to fix it. Please help, I have a very close deadline and need to get this resolved!

As a bit of further info I noticed these warnings when running the command - emca -deconfig dbconrtol db -repos drop

Logic Pro 9 visual glitches with Mavericks update

Hi Guys,
I updated to Mavericks on the day of it's release. I'm running Logic Pro (9.1.6) and everytime I hit play I now get these black blocks that follow my playhead. amongst other smaller visual glitches like midi notes appearing in the arrange window rather than the piano roll... I'm not totally convinced this is anything to do with Logic Pro 9's compatibility with Mavericks however the problems only started since the installation.
Any ideas?

I'm rnning Logic 8.0.2 and i am also having this issue. also my Mbox 2 Mini is not working (i know it's not the best interface anyway, but still.

Visual glitches in exported QuickTime movie (but not in FCP); any ideas?

We shot a short film with a Sony camera (standard def), but it apparently isn't compatible w/ FC Studio software. So we captured and did a rough-cut on my friend's PC rig (Adobe Premiere Pro), burned raw files of our rough cut on to dvd's, then transferred from those discs to my rig. The codec of this footage worked fine in FCP, but wasn't supported by Color. So I used Compressor to convert all referenced files to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), as it seemed the best conversion I tried (no loss of film quality) and obviously now is supported by Color.
However, the final rendered QuickTime movie (exported from FCP) had some odd visual glitches that occur right before the end of a clip (perhaps 10-15 frames before the end): it's like the brightness or gamma level suddenly drops a noticeable amount right at the end of a clip (again, ~10-15 frames). I couldn't say for sure if it's the last 10-15 frames that are appropriate and the REST of the clip is what's out of whack.
Initially, I thought it was a problem with Color (as these were Color-corrected sequences I was exporting). But I just tried it with a non-color corrected sequence, and the errors are still there.
Any ideas what's going on? Any suggestions/solutions? Did I pick an inappropriate conversion on Compressor?

I think this may be an AVI conversion glitch.
Well I am guessing that from Premiere Pro they came out as AVI? If that is the case well the best thing to do would be to open it with Quicktime Pro and export it as DV/DVCPRO NTSC .MOV
From there you should be able to bring it into FCP without a hitch and then put color down,
But in order to save time I would try first exporting just that last little segment again throwing it into Compressor and see if it comes out okay. It may be that on capture there was some dropped frames on the end so double check that last little bit.

Visual Glitch in Labview 8.2 for OS X

Hello,
I recently got LabVIEW 8.2 for Mac OS X and I'm having some problems with visual glitches in block diagrams. When I scroll the window, everything looks ok until I mouse over something (a wire or a function). If I mouse over a function for example, a second image will appear where the function originally was before I scrolled the window. If a structure is highlighted, the corners and centers of each side will turn white where the resize squares would be.
Minimizing the window or dragging something else over the window does not fix the problem. Closing the block diagram and reopening it or scrolling it completely off the screen then back on does fix it, however unless I switch to the front diagram and back the glitches simply happen again. I attached a screenshot of the problem, let me know if anything else would be helpful.
I'm running OS X 10.4.10 and have an ATI Radeon 9600 with a 20 inch cinema display.
Thanks,
Mike

I contacted support about this problem and they were able to reproduce the problem. Since I didn't find anything about this problem when I searched the forums, hopefully if anyone else runs into this they can find this thread.
The things I do to get around it are:
1. Don't scroll with the mouse wheel. Use the scroll bars on the sides instead.
2. If you do scroll with the wheel, switch to the front panel and back before you mouse over anything.
3. If the screen gets messed up, closing the block diagram and using ctrl-e to immediately open it again is probably the best way to fix it.

Retina MBP - visual glitches after returning from sleep

On the new Retina MBP (using the highest res setting), I'm noticing that there are significant visual glitches (ghosting, persistent blocks, lack of redraw, etc...) upon returning from sleep.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Yup, I'm having the same problem, except that my machine keeps crashing over and over again. I've gone through the console, and it seems like different processes keep crashing (crash reporter, MDS (Spotlight), kernel_task, etc.) I can safely boot into Safe Mode, but if I restart my machine, almost as soon as I get past the login screen, I get screen glitches and the machine either restarts itself or hangs. NOT HAPPY.
MBP Retina 2.7 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB hard drive. I installed all of the latest software updates (Thunderbolt, MBP Retina update, MBP mid-2012 OS X version, etc.)
I transferred over all files and apps from my mid-2011 MBP overnight. I thought it was some incompatibility with installed software on my old machine (from which I'm typing this), so I started uninstalling things as soon as I could get logged in. Little Snitch, gone. EyeTV, gone. SMCFanControl, gone. Going through the Console, I saw that an old ATI program was trying to launch, so I pulled that and all of its associated .kext files out. Nothing worked. So, I'm reinstalling Lion on that machine right now, and we'll see how it goes.
I've spent my entire morning working on this *&(%^ thing. I am NOT pleased. I don't have time to be a beta tester for Apple.

Visual Glitches in 720p HD Exported Footage on Final Cut Pro

Hi...
I'm working with Final Cut Pro, on a brand new Mac Book Pro. My footage has come from a Kodak Zi8 video Camera. It was shot at 720p, and the format is MOV.
I've cut up all my footage into a nice little video diary, with simple cross dissolves, and a few text overlays. Nothing fancy. But when I export it, my final file has a ton of visual glitches throughout the length of the video. A lot of the transitions it freezes on and then comes in after.
I'm exported as a self-contained MOV file. I've never had this problem with SD footage. Am I doing something wrong? Help please.

ok... How would i go about converting the footage, considering that the footage comes off the camera in it's raw state in that format. What program should I use... and what difference would it make.
My editing process ran smoothly... it was when I exported the file that I noticed the glitches.
I always export as a high quality quicktime format. Until I clicked the "recompress all frames" option, it wasn't rendering the transitions and text overlays correctly.
The final result looks great now... for a cheap "HD" non 3 CCD camera. See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4rNajjeURM
I have a Panansonic HVX, with a P2 card that I could shoot and edit at 1080i, but for simple video diaries, I need a quick solution for editing this footage. And imovie doesn't give me the versatility that FCP does.

Visual Glitches in Lion

I just bought a 27" iMac, and everything has been fine until a few days ago, when I started to notice some slight visual glitches. They don't show up everytime I use my computer either. I have updated all software on the computer, because I thought that may have been a quick fix. Has anyone had or know of these visual glitching problems? TIA.
My computer specs are

I have since discovered that my Energy Saver > Automatic Graphics Switching" was accidentally turned back ON.
I have now re-installed gfxCardStatus so that I can ALWAYS see the status of my "Integrated" vs. "Discrete" graphics on my menu bar at the top...and force it to stay "Dedicated" always to avoid graphics switching issues that may be related to rMBP system stability.
Also, after having instability issues with my Retina MBP while using AirDisplay, I had uninstalled that for several weeks. I reinstalled AirDisplay after upgrading to Mountain Lion last week.
So, in summary, the Graphics Switching and AirDisplay now represent two additional variables in my crash history.
Since Disabling (unchecking) "Automatic Graphics Switching" and uninstalling AirDisplay, I have had no Crashes.
I will post here again if I am able to narrow it down to one of those two as the cause of my crash problems.
As the two previous posts have indicated, it seems that Firefox was NOT the cause of my crash problems.
Most likely "Automatic Graphics Switching" and/or AirDisplay.
Thanks much.

Visual Glitches On iMac

Yesterday I was working with my iMac (24-inch iMac 2008 with a Nvidia 8800GS), and it suddenly froze, and the screen was covered in dark blue spots, with various visual glitches such as black bars appearing on the screen and flickering. I could still move the mouse and iTunes continued to play, but it would regularly lock up, and I was unable to interact with any of the open apps or the Finder.
I performed a hard shut down and re-booted and the same thing happened within minutes, so I shut down and cleaned the PRAM & NVRAM. Upon re-booting (and after the Apple symbol dissapeared) I was presented with a light grey screen with some artifacts which used to form my desktop, and the bottom half of the screen constantly flickered.
Okay, I resign myself to the fact that I've probably got a cooked GPU, and go to bed. This morning I try the Mac again, to the same result, but afterwards I boot up into my Windows XP partition, and it works... perfectly. So I decide to run it through its paces a bit, and run a game, and it works fine, no graphical problems or issues. In fact the only graphics problem of any note is when I change the volume, and the osx volume controls flickers in and out of view.
So now I'm confused. Surely if the GPU was cooked, it couldn't run a 3D game (I used Psi-Ops to test), yet clearly something's wrong.
The only hardware modification I've done to the Mac, was to swap out the stock 2 x 1gb ram modules for 2 x 2gb ram, but that was two months ago now, and it's all been running without issue so far.
So any ideas as to what the problem could be, and is there anything more I can do to try and fix it myself before bringig it in for repair?
Thanks in advance for any help offerred.

Exact setup as except 4 each 1tb black WD drives and two 2.26 cpu's( early 2009) and no problems at all. I have explanation fore you problems. Just get Apple to replace your machine again...
Willp.

Hi!
I restarted the computer, but the same issue happens again. When I move my mouse over some object or tool, it doesn’t come active at all (only some of the tools works) When I try to change “site properties”, I can’t choose tablet or phone mode or even I can’t select the checkboxes, only thing what I can do is change the numbers (high and width) . After all the main problem is that I can’t select some of the items or functions by mouse, but only by the keyboard.

Visual Studio 2008 with BizTalk 2009 Missing Assembly Reference - Developing under Windows7

I'm having a similar issue to this....> http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2df94010-5755-4982-a02d-81f8feb51fda/visual-studio-2008-with-biztalk-2009-missing-assembly-reference?forum=biztalkgeneral
Prior to going to Win7, I was developing on a Win-XP machine. I used to delete the generated code and have VS generate it again, but no luck. I get errors in the Build, similar to what shows in the Message Assignment shape in the orc. It's complaining about
a missing part of a Multi-part message. Oh, and the Multi-part message is a schema created in VS2005/BizTalk2006 R2, which was created on a separate Win-XP machine.
Just wondering if anyone has come up with a fix to this? The previously documented entry did not seem to have a solution.
Thanks.

Jeff,
Do you see your_orchestration.odx.cs ?
If you do Can you try as following:
1. Take backup of whole solution
2. Delete all .cs files associated with biztalk artifacts, like odx.cs, xsd.cs, btm.cs
3. Open orchestration and in any one of the expression shape copy all statements.
4. Click OK to close the Expression window.
5. Build the solution. (you should get errors)
6. Goto expression and paste code.
7. Build
This has worked for me in past. May be it will work for you too.

Cancelled my Windows Azure Benefit for Visual Studio Premium with MSDN by mistake, and now?

Hello
I have mistakenly cancelled my Windows Azure Benefit for Visual Studio Premium with MSDN subscription a couple of months ago not knowing what I was basically cancelling. Today I wanted to start playing around with Windows Azure when I figured this out.
I still have a valid MSDN Premium Subscription and now when I click the link to Activate Windows Azure from the MSDN Benefits page I have to create a new subscription named "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN" and on the bottom of the page I see "Windows
Azure MSDN - Visual Studio Premium".
I the "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN" the one that I get with my MSDN subscription? I guess that the "Windows Azure MSDN - Visual Studio Premium" has been renamed.
All I see is that my "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN" has a spending limit of "75 euro" / month. This is all so confusing...
Regards

Hi,
It's a good choice to contact with azure support, Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/
Or if that doesn't work because you don't have an active subscription you will need to contact general customer support to have them create a support ticket for you

The Back arrow does not always work, particularly with Amazon and eBay sites.Even the on-page Back arrows do not work either.

I am using version 15.0.1. Since I updated to this version, the Back arrow does NOT always work particularly with Amazon and eBay. This is particularly evident when I go from a list the result of a search to an item on the lis. I cannot get back to the list even using the On-page Back arrow. I usually have to repeat the search to get back to the list again.

Graphics glitches occurring with the GeForce 9400M?

Has anyone seen the same type of graphics glitches occurring with the GeForce 9400M in the new MacBooks that occurred in the MacBook Pros with GeForce 8600M GT?
The link to that previous issue is here: http://apcmag.com/appleacknowledges_macbook_pro_graphics_glitch_offersfix.htm
When viewing web pages with both Safari and Firefox, the page gets corrupted when I scroll down with the trackpad (this does not happen when scrolling with arrow keys). Any type of animation or video on a page is also really jumpy and flashes in and out.
It sounds like this was a hardware issue with the graphics card in the last version of the MBPs. Has anyone seen this issue in their new MacBooks?

Hi there,
the same issue on my new MBP Late 2008. First, it happens in Safari, then I tried Firefox and there it was too. I switched the graphics to the second GPU (the better) and it seems the problem were solved. Back on the mobile GPU it never happened again.
I've never tried, but I think the problem occurs when to much Apps are opened and the Mac runs out of memory. The logout for switching the graphics gave the memory back and the better GPU has it's own memory.

Photoshop crushes frequently when I work with just 2 or 3 layers

Hi!
I am running Photoshop CC on a PC with the following features:
Processor: Intel Core I7-4790 3.60 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bits
Motherboard: Asus Z97
I thought this would be more than enough to run Photoshop without problems, but it crushes frequently when I work with just 2 or 3 layers (file size of around 260 MB). I would appreciate some help to solve this problem.
Thank you!
