10.6.2 update - the graphics distortion in Safari Top Sites is not Fixed!

I felt so relieved after updating- 10.6.2, because the annoying graphics distortion in safari when clicking top sites is gone.. gone for about 1 day only. && now its happening again! IDK why??? i installed the update correctly. && about this mac says i have the version 10.6.2.
is anybody here experiencing this? ( apple has to work on this. its annoying! )
oh! another prob. too! THE START UP SLOW DOWN!? -before it takes 32 or 34 sec to boot up. Now with 10.6.2 installed it takes about 50 sec. to boot up. well i don't mind waiting for another 15 sec. - i just wanna know why.

Hello lyon09,
Unfortunately i have not yet made it to the Genius Bar as of yet. I ended up canceling the appointment i re-scheduled too and haven't made another one. Basically, i was only gonna go in just because i said the Battery gave me a "Service Battery" error message, which means that "the battery isn’t functioning normally, and you may or may not notice a change in its behavior or the amount of charge it holds. Have your computer checked by an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). You can continue to use your battery before it’s checked without harming your computer."
So that was gonna be my main reason for going in there, and at that time discussing and showing him what Top Sites is doing to me.
1. Top Sites has a distorted graphics that have been there since 10.6 came out....10.6.1 was supposed to fix it, did not....then 10.6.2 was supposed to fix it, and as of right now it still is not fixed.
I have done an Archive & Install with no success.
2. Battery showed me that Service Battery error message just that one evening. My battery was drained completely and when i plugged it in and got it working again, the Service Battery error was there for about 45 minutes or so until it got a sufficient charge it decided it would go away. I haven't seen it since.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/20865.html
It has now been about a week since i last saw that message.
That was my main reason for canceling the Genius Bar appointment, because the battery seems to be working for the time being. If i see that message again though, then i won't hesitate to take it in.
I'm starting to wonder now though, should i just take it in anyways. Because if i saw that message, on the battery, and they need to replace that - then if there is some other reason for the distorted graphics in Top Sites, like maybe the Logic Board....then i want to get it fixed. It's under warranty for 3 years.
I just haven't found reason other than having that fluke Service Battery message to go in and have it checked out. If my video gets really whacked out or i see that battery message again, then i'll go promptly.
Does anybody else have any input on this? Thanks!

  • How do you restore the black background in safari top sites

    How do I restore the black background in safari from the dull gray to an acceptable black?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No. The general theory is that the pics are easier to edit against black.

  • HP 15 Special Edition p000 - How do I update the graphics card?

    received this message trying to run Windows movie maker. Cannot see the video i was editing. It worked before...Can i update the graphics card online? please help link me....or do i have to buy a new card and get it installed

    Hi @DP21 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a wonderful place to find answers and ideas!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I see from your post that you are unable to run Windows Movie Maker 2012 as you receive an error that your graphic card only  support  Direct X 9.
    You can run the HP Support Assistant  to look for updates.
    I am unsure if this is your exact model or not but here is the  link to the driver page  HP Beats Special Edition 15z-p000 CTO Notebook PC Drivers
    As this is a CTO model I can not pull up your exact build information.  If you would private message me with your serial number I will try to obtain your exact specifications.  Do not post it in the public forum as it is private information and would be in violation of the rules.
    Have you done all your Windows updates as Direct X is a microsoft program.
    I hope this helps

    Using Firefox 27 on the Mac. Video on most sites will not now work. I know I am not alone with this problem. What gives?

    Hi KevinMcL,
    Thank you for contacting support. I am also using your set up and I experience video issues when I have hardware acceleration turned on.
    Other steps you can take to improve your experience:
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Safari Top Sites Not Updating

    My Top Sites is not self-updating. I no longer get the 'star' notice when a web page has been changed and the image shown on Top Sites is from my last visit to the site.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem with the Top Sites thumbnails not updating themselves (without having to manually visit the site). It had been working, but now it has not for a couple months. I forget if it coincided with updating Safari to 4.0.5 or not; it seemed like it was right around that time.
    I should also mention that my internet connection and setup have remained consistent from the time that it was working to now. I am not behind a firewall or proxy of any sort.
    (Note to Jared_Dub: The blue star is shown on thumbnails that you placed there manually as opposed to your most visited pages which Safari automatically places. It has nothing to do with showing you if there have been changes to the page or not. Just thought I should clarify that point.)

  • When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

    When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

    Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
    Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out.  This is ridiculous.
    I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

  • Updating the Graphics Card...

    I have a new iMac 20-inch 2.4Ghz.
    It comes with an ATI RadeonHD 2600. Is there any possible way to upgrade/replace it? Even if it meant taking it into a local apple store to get technical support. People say that the 24-inch is somehow upgradable, but why not the 20-inch?
    Thanks, Ryan Mckenzie

    The easy way to upgrade your graphics card is to return your iMac and get a Mac Pro.
    Then you can upgrade to your hearts content.
    Unfortunately not really. I don't think there are any after-market graphics cards for the Mac Pro yet.... only the choice of three when you buy.  
    Hopefully some will come on the market sooner or later.

  • Family sharing verification has an old credit card number to verify. I have updated the credit card info but it is still not appearing in the verification process asking for the security code of the card. How lng to have account info updated to cloud

    I am trying to set up a family sharing with a new iMac and other Mac pro computer and other apple products. When I click to manage account and the add a member, I am told to verify the user by entering the security code from the credit card. The card listed is an old one and has since been changed. I updated the info on my apple account, but it is not getting to the iCloud for the family sharing. The number shown is the old card. When I enter a code it says invalid. How long does it take for the info to udate to all systems?

    Hi Mofro1,
    Happy Holidays!  The resource below explains how to edit the credit card information for the Apple ID account that you want to use for Family Sharing.  Once you've made the changes, I would suggest you sign out of your iTunes Store on all of your devices, and then restart them.  The changes should take place quickly.  There is a link to the iTunes Store support below if you need more help.

    You can see the payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts in the Payment Type section. If you want to remove the payment method, select None in the Payment Type section. See what to do if None isn't showing or you can't select it.
    Change your information and click Done.
    After you change your payment information, the iTunes Store places an authorization hold on your credit card.

    If you’re using Family Sharing, and you're the family organizer, you can’t set your payment information to None. You need to use a credit card or debit card. Only the Family Organizer can edit payment information for a family group. If you're not the organizer, you'll see this message: "The payment method for your Family is managed by [Apple ID]."
