2010 MBP i7 High Res - Video garbling, screen not refreshing

I'm having a problem with my 4 month old 15" MPB Core i7 High Res display. Sometimes when I am surfing in Safari, I'll navigate to a new page, but the center 1/3 of the last page I was on will remain on the new page, covering up the new page content with the old page.
Also, sometimes some images appear as blocks of garbled mess, especially when I quit safari and go back to the desktop such as the screen shot below. Graphics card issue? Often, I'll close Safari, and a chunk of the web page is still on my desktop, and it's all garbled up...it's like the graphics card isn't refreshing that area of the screen.
See example screen shot:
http://i53.tinypic.com/2dux4i.jpg

I am having the same problem with my i7 anti glare...it seems when I use safari and it has flash in the web page this problem occasionally occurs. If I turn automatic graphic switching off and then on it seems to work okay. I posted here:

Need to split one large high-res video into sub-parts

I have a very large high-res video (5760 x 3240) that I would like to split into 9 separate videos, each 1920 x 1080. These would make up the content of a 3x3 video wall and would be 'stitched' back together by the media players driving the wall.
I am new to After Effects, so sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but I was told this was possible using AE.

Thanks for all the responses.
My next question was how I can make sure I am positioning the video in the composition to the exact pixel. Seems a little inexact just dragging, but I will try the advanced sizing controls.
I am being told that the individual media players can sync up to the ms. We are going to test everything this week once we receive the final video. Since the entire video will be 60gb, there is the question of storage, so we are adding 64gb flash to each player.
We are doing a similar wall in Europe and they are using a single video server along with a matrixer to get the job done.
I've done 2x2 walls pixel perfect and most hardware will choke on that, so I am hoping the multiple media players will be better in handling smaller chunks.
I will let you know how it works out.

I have a new MBP with high-res display, and the color seems washed out compared to my old MBP. Is this normal?

Putting the two laptops side by side, blacks on my old machine look dark grey on the new one. I also have 24" and 27" cinema displays, and the new high res laptop display looks washed out in comparison.
I have tried to recalibrate the screen color settings, but this doesn't seem to make much difference.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
David.

Yes, the gamma settings are the same on all 4 displays (my two laptops and the two displays).
After a little experimentation, I think that it's down to the brightness of the high resolution display. It would seem that it is slightly dimmer than the low-res one on my other 15" MBP, so I think that Apple have set the default colour profile to be slightly washed out to compensate. If I use the same profile on the high-res MBP screen as on the low-res MBP screen, then the colour is much better.
The cinema displays are a lot better than the laptop displays, but I was expecting the new high-res display to be as good as the old low-res one - especially as I paid a lot more money for it!
Ah well! I think I might take it into the store and just check that it is the norm for this...
Thanks for your help.

Garbled Screen & not consistent colours on Equium M40X-230

Hi, I have a M40X-230, a couple weeks ago I started to see a garbled screen where the colours were not consistent and the screen looked as if it was vertically chopped in 3 and all three parts were blending in and out of each other.
This lasted about 10-15 minutes and it persisted through reboot. However, this would not happen everytime the machine was used. After another week or so when the machine was started even the Toshiba splash screen is broken up as described above, this persists when in BIOS config (hit F12 at startup).
The machine is able to boot in safe mode but the same problem occurs and when an external monitor is attached the problem is seen on the attached screen as well.
Has anyone seen this before? Any advice, I am thinking it is my graphics adapter or maybe the LCD but really not certain.
salleyne

Hi mate,
this sounds cleary like a hardware malfunction. If you have already the symptoms at the toshiba logo, then I would recommend you to contact urgently a ASP for a hardware checkup because this error cannot be resolved with an bios/software update.
Check this link for the nearest availabel ASP in your country:

SALV in Split Screen - not refreshing

I have a Report based program with Selection Screen
Upon entering valid Inputs program calls screen 100.
On Screen 100, I placed following elements
Docking Container
       Splitter Container with 2 rows with Docking container as Parent
              Placed a Toolbar object on the Top container of the split. Toolbar has 2 buttons BSID & BSAD
              If user clicks BSID, then I have to show a SALV report in Lower Split
              If user clicks BSAD, then I have to show a bit different data SALV report in same Lower Split
I tried several methods to refresh the data in SALV( I used 1 SALV)
Data is not refreshing in the second split...
I see that Lower Split container has children attribute set.. I tried to free() the lower container, but it deletes cmplete container itself, what can I do to refresh the data without completely redoing all the container stuff?
Also Children attribute in Split container is Read-only, how can I change this one ?
Valid answers would receive points...

ARD screen not refreshing

I'm running ARD 2.2, and OS 10.4.6 on my laptop and a G5. When I try to log into the G5, it brings the screen up fine, but will not refresh. So, for every change, click, drag or whatever, I have to close the window and relaunch the session. I have no problems on any other machine. Any suggestions on what I might have to change on the G5 to be have the screens refresh automatically (btw, Refresh Screen is greyed out also)
Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

So cool!!! Thanks very much, Brent, for solving my problem.
Maybe you can answer another one while we're at it. Before I knew the problem was on the G5, I tried deleting ARD (and all its parts) from my other machine - a g4 tower, also running 10.4.6.
I reinstalled it and I updated it, but each time I try to launch it, it tries to reinstall itself again. Obviously, it's missing something, but I don't know what it could be. Any suggestions?

[ATI open source driver, laptop] Screen not refreshing properly.

Hi guys, I've been using ATI Catalyst driver and everything was working well until I decided to switch to open source driver.
Now I have strange problem. My screen is not refreshing properly, I mean, for example I use Facebook and I decide to read something in other card in browser and after I switch cards I can still see some of the facebook page elements, window title does not change. After I move cursor over page elements are refreshing. When I scroll page, even a little bit, it refreshes as well. Or I use terminal, I type some command, press enter and sometimes screen doesn't refresh and I can't see output until I try to resize window or select text (which I can't see...).
Sorry for not the best description, I will give you screens tomorrow because today I can't.
My graphics card is Radeon HD 5400 Series and I use ASUS X52J laptop.

The radeonhd works. It's the radeon driver that doesn't work, I tried no xorg.conf and it still used the vesa driver.

Remote Desktop Session - Sections of Screen Not Refreshing

Remote Desktop Session Not Refreshing
I have 3 monitors.
When I connect to any RDP session, my screen seems to lag. For instance, I click the start button and nothing displays, but when I move the mouse, I see parts of the start menu appear.
This seems to be a recent issue. I RDP sessions throughout the day, so you could imagine how annoying this could be.
Can anyone please give me some advice?

Hello NBell_DF,
Please try to use other Windows 7 computer in the same network environment to see if they can normally remote desktop to the corresponding computers.
If they also have the same issue, it may be related to the network. And then use the command ping <destination IP> to check the network delay.
If other computer don’t have the similar issue, please update the network driver.
Additionally, we could choose your connection speed to optimize performance.

Screen not refreshing after sleep mode

Hello All,
I have had a problem since 10.7.XX where my screen does not refresh after the computer goes into screen saver mode and then into sleep mode. When I move my mouse to resume i get a line drawn where I move my mouse and it reveals the login screen slowly. I can click on a login account and a small section of the screen refreshes where the login password is. Once I login it goes away. Was hoping Mountail Lion would address, but the problem continues from Snow Leopard. I am on a Imac 24" 2009 3.06Ghz dual core with 4 Gig of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS 512mb. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Macbook pro core i7 high res anti-glare screen garbled graphics

My two month old macbook pro consistently (once every day or two) produces a garbled up screen after using it for a few hours. The only way to resolve this is to restart the computer. I've talked with apple support and have gone into the store for help and so far everyone is clueless and offer no real advice. I can't take a screenshot on the machine once this occurs, the picture just comes up blank, but I did take pictures with my cellphone.

Has anyone else had a similar issue and is this most likely a graphics hardware error?

Drm31078, it sounds like you've made up your mind what the problem is and decided to wait for it to fix itself. In light of ryanfitz's experience, which now indicates that the problem occurs when using each of his two GPUs, I question your conclusions that there's a graphics switching problem and that Apple's basic software is at fault, simply because there are thousands of other users with the same machine and the same Apple software who aren't seeing the same behavior. Therefore, I recommend that you run the extended Apple Hardware test repeatedly in hopes that it will eventually detect an intermittent hardware fault, bearing in mind that if there's a fault in the video cable or the LCD panel, AHT can't and won't detect it. And I recommend showing your pictures to a Genius or an authorized service technician for evaluation. A single Apple employee's failure to detect a hardware problem is not conclusive evidence that none exists, and I don't think there's any good reason to dismiss that possibility out of hand on the basis of what you've seen and heard so far.

New Higher-Res Video File Format?

Regarding this "near-DVD" quality--I know Apple upped the resolution of video offerings on the iTS to 640x480, but any word on the encoding format and bit rate? If movies are offered in surround sound, is it still 128kbps AAC? Is it still 540kbps AVC0/H.264? Or has that all been upped? I would hope it has been...Looks like movie offerings are about 1GB, give or take 500MB...

I downloaded one of the free videos (ABC's promo video for Desparate Housewives), and compared it to the season primiere for Blade which was downloaded before.
Both have 128k stereo AAC for audio, and AVC-encoded video.
Only difference I can see is the resolution of the video has been increased from 320 wide to 640 wide. (How high depends on if it's widescreen or normal.) Video bit rate has been increased as well, due to its higher resolution.
Also, the new video wouldn't sync with my 60 gig iPod with Video (most recent model before last week) before updating its firmware with today's iPod 1.2 Updator. Now it works great.

Looking for high res video & good audio on my TV, plus use VPN. Is mac mini what I need?

I live where I need to use VPN for streaming of radio or services like Netflix. Works fine on Apple devices, but would rather use my normal TV (reasonably good TV, HDMI hookups, etc.). Tiring to always mirror from my daughter's iPad, and can only mirror inconsistently from my laptop. I also want to access my own music library, but iTunes match doesn't seem to be the best fit.
Was thinking of getting a mac mini and using my TV as monitor + get wireless keyboard. Does this seem like it would work? Definitely have well under the limit of storage that the mini can hold. I currently have Apple TV, which I love, but need more access to those things in my library when not using Apple TV.
Basically, I want to have what I have on my laptop, but in my living room with a better screen.
Any and all advice appreciated.
Many thanks...

High Res-Videos run choppy and slow

Hi!
I don't know if that's normal, so i ask - yesterday i downloaded Big buck Bunny in a high resolution ( 1920x1080, i just wanted to see the difference )
But - as the title says - it runs very slow, actually the sound works fine but the movie is just 1-2 frames, then nothing.
Low resolutions work fine, all codecs are in place and my computer is a Athlon 3500+, 1 Gig ram and an GeForce 8600 - ok, not THAT fast, but it should manage it shouldn't it? I mean i could play Warcraft3 in this resolution with more fps.
I use vlc and kaffeine/xine for playback

thanks for the reply - i just realized (after i downloaded the video as a .avi) - it't ogg-video that runs so slow!
The same Movie in 1920x1080 and avi runs very smooth.

Can I stop Adobe Flash from switching to HD/higher res video?

I'm attempting to use HBO GO via Chrome on a Windows 7 PC. When the streaming video begins to play, the resolution is relatively low but the picture streams well, dropping virtually no frames. Then within a minute, the resolution increases dramatically, but the video no longer plays smoothly or watchably. The software is kind enough to insist that the video has been "optimized," apparently unaware that in arbitrarily increasing the resolution, the video becomes unwatchable and decidedly unoptimal. Is there a way to stop this "optimization" so that the video resolution remains lower (hence actually optimizing my experience by making it possible to watch the video)?
Thanks!

That would be a Chrome setting. Most likely it's using the PPAPI plug-in ("PepperFlash").
Try disabling it and let either the standard (NPAPI) plug-in play it or if HBO-Go has it, use HTML5 video, which requires no plug-in at all.

2010 iMac 27 Inch flicker and black screen, not solved by firmware updates

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I've got a 27 inch 2010 imac that has started to flicker black, and sometimes turn completely black. When this happens the only thing I can do to remedy the issue is to put the computer to sleep and wake it again with the power button on the back. I have tried using the 2009 firmware fixes floating around on the net but to no success, and having seen youtube videos of other people's flicker issues that were fixed by this, and as far as I can see it isn't the same issue. The whole screen flickers, not just a horizontal band.
I have no secondary monitors plugged in, and my only peripheral items are external hard drives. The issue still happens regardless as to what's plugged in.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm awaiting a call from apple support, but they have had me in a queue for a week so I thought it prudent to shop around for help.
Cheers
Simon

Here are other links to try: Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.
