10.5 Dock and Menulette graphics are corrupted by running some games.

10.5 Dock and Menulette graphics are corrupted by running games like Diablo 2 and The Sims.
<http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/5324/corrupteddockandmenuletpk1.png> Notice the open stack is just grey bars. The icons and names are not showing.
Anyone else encountered this? Quitting and relaunching the Finder and/or Dock doesn't solve this. Only a restart.
TIA,
Jamie Kahn Genet
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

My computer does the same thing except I don't have any games on my mac. I've never noticed something that causes it to happen, but it usually seems to happen after I wake mine from sleep. On mine usually the "glass" part of the dock disappears and then sometime after that the stacks will stop working.

  • When I turn on a video the screen on my MacBook Pro freezes.  I've been through Apple Care and they couldn't fix the computer.  I think the fan and the graphics are the problems

    When I turn on a video the screen on my MacBook Pro freezes.  I've been through Apple Care and they couldn't fix the computer.  I think the fan and the graphics are the problems.  I can restart after two attempts.  Sometimes I use SAFEBOOT

    Please advise the model MBP you have and the OSX you have installed.

  • Adobe Photoshop CC Reset and Most PSDs are corrupted

    I purchased a subscription to Adobe Photshop CC 2014 (2014.2.0 20140926.r.236) about a month ago and installed on a new Dell Precision 2850 laptop.  I've been using Photoshop consistently every day and have had no issues - until today.
    My Photoshop froze and I had to hard reboot my laptop.  When I restarted, my Photoshop had "reset" (all my preferences were gone), I had to reintall custom fonts on my system to be recognized (before reopening Photoshop) and about half of my prior PSD files won't open but instead show the error "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document".
    I know from prior posts (in years past) that any open PSD files during an Adobe crash can cause corrupted PSD files, but any reason why PSD files edited over the last few days would show that error?
    Thanks in advance for any help or direction.  As I mentioned, this was purchased a few weeks ago.  Should I plan to have this happen and lose most of my files each month?

    As Chris writes bad RAM can cause all sorts of problems. Ram failures that are not detected can cause corrupt files. System freezes system reboots and all sorts of strange failures. Run some memory stress test several times. Normal RAM failures can be quite intermittent. Remove RAM and re-seat RAM.  Workstation and Servers use ECC memory. ECC RAM detect memory failures and can ever recover  from a single bit failure.  RAM is very reliable however the more rams you install you increases the number of places ram can fail.

  • HT203167 Has anyone else been ripped off when purchasing music. Paid for an entire album and two songs are corrupted. Then they want me to pay for service, so that I may ask for a refund. Anyone?

    Cannot get any help with this, very unhappy. This was a download for our son. What a disappointment.

    You don't have to pay. If they are corrupt and (assuming that you are in a country where you are able to) re-downloading them doesn't fix it, then login to your iTunes account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account), click on See All to the right of the Purchase History, find that album in your purchases and use the 'report a problem' link on it

  • Intel and Nvidia graphics - set which one support choosen game.

    Hello,
    On some game forum one guy tell me i can set which one - intel or nvidia graphics support my choosen game, cuz i have intel processor and intel motherboard but also i have nvidia geforce 550ti graphics card, and my question is: Can i choose what graphics intel or nvidia support my choosen game ?

    x_user wrote:Yes i have  xf86-video-nouveau and mesa-libgl but performance for game what require only GeForce FX series is really bad, but maybe that model of graphics card is not best for open drivers, maybe this is the point.
    There's no reclocking for this card currently.
    Nouveau runs it locked at 405 MHz GPU clock, 648 MHz memory clock, 810 MHz processor clock.
    Nvidia can run it at 3 perf levels:
        GPU Clock    Memory Clock    Processor Clock
    0    50 MHz          270 MHz             101 MHz
    1    405 MHz        648 MHz             810 MHz
    2    900 MHz      4104 MHz           1800 MHz

    Demo tunes from itunes store sound great, so it seems my library is corrupted.

  • Graphics are corrupted with windows after playing WoW.

    Hello,
    I have a bought new Macbook and up until recently, it has been completely problem free. Recently though, I have had a few issues regarding some slight graphics corruption on windows and software.
    For example the edges of the windows on Preview.
    http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/mrmalachai/Picture1-1.png
    These graphical disturbances seem to come about after I play WoW and seem to disappear again after a quick restart, but I just wondering what might be causing it and if it is something I should worry about.
    Is there any way to prevent these strange graphical disruptions?
    I would appreciate any feedback.
    Thanks guys.
    S.

    You should be searching using Google or going into a WoW forum because it's an issue caused by WoW. It seems to be rare because lots of people play WoW and I've never heard this before.

  • My Elements and Premier DVDs are corrupted physically. How can I install them via online instead?

    I bought Photoshop Elements and Premeire Elements 10 sometime ago and forgotten about it. The box was sealed but the DVDs had streaks for white stuff and thus the drive is unaable to read. How can I install it via online? Please lead me to the link that I can key in the serial numbers as I am unable to find in this website. Thank you. As they have never been installed, the serial number is not in the my Adobe ID account yet. Hence I wish I can freshly install them via online. Thank you.

  • Cmd tab graphics are corrupted! but why?

    When I use cmd+tab to switch applications, I have been getting the following, for a few days now:
    This is from a fresh start with no apps running. It still functions properly and when I release cmd to change app, the colours return to normal for the fade.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
    Thanks!
    Joe

    This happened to me last night too.
    I was also having problems with my iphoto thumbnails too though. But I'd been having this problem for a while. I rebuilt all my thumbnails, and restarted my computer.
    After the restart, the cmd+tab icons got fixed!

  • Finder date and Iphoto date are very different in some photos

    I run Iphoto 9.6 on OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 with an Imac 27" of mid 2010.
    Some photos have wrong date in Iphoto while the right creation date of these photos are in the finder (exif dates are always correct).
    Because, i have more than four thousand pictures with wrong dates, is there a way to fix that issue easily (by a script or a utility ?). I discover when there is a difference between those two dates, it's always a difference of + 6066 days and 11 hours ??? Like that, some photos appears to be done in 2045 ???
    Some body came help me ?
    Many thanks in avance,

    Poelger,
    thanks for your interest, please let me explain it better.
    I have 2 data blocks. The 1st one is a single record, non-database block, where I input some parameters, and one of these parameters is a date field. This date field will be passed via PL/SQL inside the form to compose the search criteria.
    :BLK_PARAMETER.date_field receives 02/02/2009 as typed by the user, being configured as a field which receives data in date format (dd/mm/yyyy). This date is used inside a form procedure called PRC_SEARCH_CRITERIA, which mounts a variable called p_where. Please consider the code below belongs to PRC_SEARCH_CRITERIA.
    p_where := 'trunc (date_field) = ''' || :BLK_PARAMETER.date_field || '''';
    set_block_property ('BLOCK_BEING_QUERIED', default_where, p_where);
    I ran it on Oracle Debugger and I saw p_where being mounted as:
    trunc (date_field) = '02-FEB-09'
    And, when my form executes an execute_query instruction, it raises FRM-40505 error. I copied this p_where value and tried to run it in Oracle SQL Developer, where the error was the same. When I edited it on SQL Developer, changing this date to '02-FEV-09' (since "february" in english is "fevereiro" in portuguese), my query ran finely. So it seems to me that Oracle Forms and database aren't configured to use the same date format, maybe they're using different language date formats.
    I need to understand this behavior and act so this should not happen again; now I solved this problem in other ways, but 1st of all I would like to understand it better, so I won't repeat it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Franklin

  • On old macbook photos would just go into iPhoto my hitting iPhoto button.  On the Mac Pro when I hit iPhoto button they "swish" into some document file on dock and I can't get them into my photos and events. Can anyone please help.  Gabrielle

    I am having major trouble trying to get photos into IPhoto.  On my old macbook, I just had to hit the IPhoto button - I have hundreds of photos and events but now I have this MacPro when I hit the Iphoto button the photos just "disappear" into a document file on the dock and the photos are all contained in some kind of arcs....I'm not computer literate and spent 2 years in one on one just learning IPhoto  Could some one out there please help me.?

    What version of iPhoto are you using?  Where are the photos coming from that go into the document on the Dock?  What iPhoto button are you referring to?

  • Dock and finder bar problem

    A game I play used to run in full screen mode as of last night.  But when i got home tonight the game will not go into full screen.  The dock and finder bar are still in view.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Sounds like it's trying to perform a "safe boot" and failing. I'd try to boot from the install disk and repair disk from disk utility. If the DVD boots then memory is probably OK. If not, then try removing the memory.

  • Can't open files on my lacie or if they do open, they are corrupt

    i just upgraded to tiger from panther. computer is fine but lacie (80 gb firewire) is not: quark files won't open at all or even launch quark; tiffs, jpegs, and eps files are corrupt or won't open. excel and word files open but the fonts and formatting look funky. pdfs and ascii files open fine. i have repaired permissions, erased, and partitioned in mac os extended but no luck so far. firmware is up-to-date. any suggestions?

    Hi LizinKY and welcome to Apple's discussions.
    I hope you don't mind me pointing out but it is not considered good etiquette nor so productive in getting your own problem sorted to tack your problem to the end of someone else's thread. You'll get far better attention and advice by starting your own.
    However, that said:
    I suspect from the problem you describe that you haven't formatted the LaCie. By default they come formatted for Windows.
    With the drive connected powered up and switched on, open Disk Utilities in Applications>Utilities. The LaCie will appear below your internal drive in a box on the LH side of DU. Select the LaCie. Then select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the drop-down box and click the 'Erase' button at the bottom. You will get a standard warning that what you are about to do may well set it train events that could mean the end of the world as we know it, but go for it anyway. If you are leaving the LaCie as one partition then that is all you need to do. OSX will now install to the drive.
    If you want two or more partitions (better plan…) then select the LaCie again and click the Partition tab. Select the number of partitions that you want from the 'Partition Scheme' drop-down & drag the dividers where you want them in the box below. Select each partition in turn, name them in the 'Name' boxes, select Mac OS Extended(Journaled) for each partition.
    Then, take a deep breath, and click the partition button at the bottom. As you have already brought about the end of the world as we know it by the previous step you can ignore any further warnings. Just click Yes or OK to everything and you should be good to go on installing OSX on the partition of your choice.
    Have fun!

  • Copied MP3s are corrupt

    I'm having a problem with MP3 files becoming corrupted when I copy them to an external device.  The MP3s reside on my 15" MBP retina's internal flash drive. When I copy them to a microSD card in the MBP's SD card slot using an SD to microSD card adapter the files become corrupt. I've tried different SD cards, different adapters, and I've even tried copying directly to an external device (MP3 player) using a USB cable. No matter what I do the files are corrupt.
    Another clue could be that the first 10 or so files copy fine, and the rest are corrupt.
    I'd like to try copying in safe mode, but in safe mode the MBP's SD card slot is unavailable.
    Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on, and how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks!

    Guys, I'm sorry for being AWL on this. I'm in Venezuela with limited internet access and limited time. I will get back with more answers soon.
    Let me answer what I can now.
    Q. Were the MP3s created in iTunes? Or something else?
    A. Something else. I picked up these files from varous sources. I acquired them as MP3s
    Q. Has this process ever worked in the past, or is this something you've never tried before?
    A. It worked in the past. I'm not sure what changed.
    Q. And the MP3s play correctly on your Mac? And they are definitely MP3s, not m4a or aac...?
    A. They play fine on my Mac, and they are MP3s.
    Q. Does it matter which files are the first 10? Or not? (i.e. if you copy 10 files at a time, does that work?) How many files are you copying in one go?
    A. I'll need to research that and get back to you. I'll try to do that soon.

  • I am getting no sound from my iPod, although it works when on dock and with headphones. Please help

    I am getting no sound from iPod, although works when on dock and when headphones are in. Please help

    Does Ford say it will work with the 4G iPod?
    Contact them.
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the car system
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    It just may not be compatible.
