Bad rendering on screen, fonts jagged, and a funny blue line

Picked up an indigo. Great apart from this silly little orange pixel on the screen and a faint blue line which changes depending on the application. Shame cos the mac is mint. Also i find the colours quite intense, fonts seem a little jagged to me. Well in fact they are compared to my other blueberry clamshell. Is this screen a problem screen or could it be bad ram or something?
Cheers Thomas

Hi Thomas -
I would suspect your screen is the problem.
To verify this you could swap screens with your other clamshell? Or at least the data cable.

    Lion or Snow Leopard? If Lion, boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and use Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair the boot volume.
    If Snow Leopard, use the installation disc and use Disk Utility in the same manner.

  • Updated to Premiere CC 2014 and AE CC 2014 and now have blue lines/blue imprints of windows and crashes after 5 minutes of use or on start up

    iMac - 27 ", late 2012
    Processor  3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    After I updated from CS6 to CC 2014, my screen started to display blue lines and/or a blue imprint of a previously closed window, and Premiere CC 2014 and AE CC 2014 began crashing after about five minutes of use. Also, an error message popped up telling me to update my CUDA driver. I took the iMac into Apple and after updating the CUDA driver in store with an Apple associate, the error message went away. They were concerned about the blue lines, and after 3 days of hardware testing, they determined that the screen was not failing, the hardware was in great shape and the lines and crashing must be a software related issue. I took the computer home, uninstalled and reinstalled AE using the appropriate installer, and rebooted. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere using the Premiere installer and rebooted again. During the second restart a blue imprint of the Google Chrome window I had had open before the reboot was imprinted over the welcome/password screen. I typed in my password, opened up the Premiere project I'd been working on and immediately, the always dramatic message "A serious issue as occurred..." popped up. I tried opening it again, saved a new recovery copy and started to work on the project. Five minute later it froze up and I had to force quit. This happened two more times, both roughly after five minutes of use....back to square one.
    Obviously, this is seriously hurting my workflow. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated!

    ... a blue imprint of the Google Chrome window I had had open before the reboot was imprinted over the welcome/password screen.
    The apple guys said this wasn't a hardware error? I don't know software errors to save imprints throughout a restart. If I were to live dangerously and assume anything it would be that you got a failing graphics processor.
    Ever tried cloning your boot drive and then doing a complete wipe and re-install of OS and CC?

  • There are horizontal white lines through display picture, and some vertical blue lines. sometimes screen is all black, sometimes whited out, sometimes half white lines, half completely unvisible. white lines have spread from just a few on top

    i just want to know if anyone has encountered this problem and if it is worth getting fixed/looked at. its an older nano so im thinking about just buying an itouch. any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Problems like this can be caused by a cable pinched in the hinge. When you start seeing the display problems, does adjusting the angle of the display make a difference?
    There is a known logic board fault in this model iBook which resulted in the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program. However, in my experience, if the logic board is involved with display anomalies, it causes the system to freeze up, necessitating a hard shutdown and waiting several hours for a restart. Another symptom of the logic board problem is if pressure on the case to the left of the trackpad on the left wrist rest improves the situation.
    Based on my experience, it sounds more like a cable caught in the hinge, since you're not seeing system freezes. Let us know if adjusting the display's angle (a bit forward or a bit back) makes a difference.

  • Editing contents of screen font suitcases in OSX

    I've received a number of fonts from clients in which the suitcase containing the screen fonts contains numerous additional screen fonts which I would like to remove.
    For example, suppose a client has supplied a new font called "Obscurefont" which I need. The printer font for "Obscurefont" has been supplied as a separate file, as well as a screen font suitcase called "Bunchafonts". This screen font suitcase contains the needed screen font for "Obscurefont," but it also contains numerous other screen fonts for Helvetica, Times, etc. which are not necessary, and which often create font conflicts.
    To fix this problem back in the old days, I would boot up my old G3 in OS9, double-click on the screen font suitcase, and drag out the offending extra screen fonts into the trash.
    Is there any way, short of dusting off an old machine capable of booting in OS9, of editing the contents of a screen font suitcase?

    I checked out a discussion on the OSX 10.4 forum which solved my problem, and made me feel a wee bit nostalgic... Turns out that the old "Font/DA Mover" app from years ago (System 6?) still runs in Classic mode, and it can still edit the contents of screen font suitcases. Painfully slow, but it works.

  • My ipod 5 touch screen doesnt work and shows vertical lines?

    So, I was getting ready to go to my competition and my ipod 5th generation fell out of my pocket. It fell on the screen and when I looked it apeared to have no external damage.. I turned it on and it had vertical black, white, and even some blue lines on the screen. The touch screen since has not worked. The ipod apears to be fully functional, the time is changing and it conects to itunes. However I can not use my ipod because the touch screen doesn't work. My cousin is a tech nerd and he says that I internally broke the touch screen.
    As for fixing it, I've been told a screen replacement will fix the problem. I have also heard that apple with not fix my screen but they will send me a new ipod and that is not what I want. Does anyone know where I can send it in to get fixed and for how much? Or where I can buy a screen replacement kit and how much that would be? And most importantly do you think replacing the screen will fix my problem?

  • Staff? Text rendering incompatibility  Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6     Websafe fonts render issue

    Text rendering incompatibility
    Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6
    Websafe fonts render poorly when on top of a
    ‘Browser Fill’  has ‘Image added’  and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
    or when
    Any ‘composition is set below the text and composition is set to ‘pin’
    Comparison Web safe fonts render
    Chrome = all good
    Firefox = all good
    Safari running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad
    As mentioned these are websafe font / also occurs with self/hosted fonts
    unfortunately client is viewing on Ipad that is non retina and uses Safari.
    Any work around?
    Thanks
    Milton

    Hi Zak
    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I have been reviewing this issue on a number of screens an Browsers – I realise the huge hassle of compatibility comments.
    Below links and further explanation and screen shots
    Thanks again
    Milton
    Web safe fonts (e.g. helvetica / arial) render poorly when:
    Any ‘composition’ is set below the text and the 'composition' is set to ‘pin’
    See first scroll page at www.edehorton.com
    The top slideshow is 'pinned' and it is this action that creates the issue for text on the whole page.
    It also occurs when text is on top of a ‘Browser Fill’  that has an ‘Image added’  and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
    See first scroll page a www.edehorton.com/judaica.html
    creates the issue for text on the whole page.
    I can remedy these  situations by ‘unpinning' the 'compostion’ or placing the ‘pinned' 'composition' above the text
    or in the second instance by turning the ‘scrolling’ radio check button in ‘Browser fill’  on.
    Screen snap shots below
    Comparison 'Web safe font - Helvetica' plus 'Webfont' render
    Chrome = all good / Firefox = all good /Safari running on ‘retina’ displays = all good Safari 5.06 on' non-retina' = all good
    Safari 7.06 running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad

  • Fonts jagged in InDesign and PDF export

    I've been troubleshooting this issue for days, with no success. I'm using IDCS6 on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion, and it probably happens with all fonts, but I've noticed it specifically with "Din mittelschrift" at a large pt. size and 100% magnification. It wouldn't be a terrible thing, since it's not noticeable in most of the document, but I'm trying to create a catalog of sorts (as a series of 2-page spreads) and the brand's name on the cover has the most obnoxiously rough edges - I can't send the PDF off to anyone in this condition.
    I'm an experienced computer user but an InDesign novice, so I've been trying various things I've found online that successfully solved others' problems, without having a very clear idea of what many things in ID do. Reading a few Adobe tutorials didn't enable me to fix things, either.
    I've seen others post that jagged-looking fonts can clear up when exported to a PDF, but that didn't work. When I export to a PDF, interactive or not, it appears jagged at 100% - though strangely enough, at 300% it looks fine.
    I checked my ID display settings. It's jagged even at High Quality - and display settings in InDesign wouldn't affect the PDF, anyway.
    I made sure the font was installed in the proper place (Library/Fonts), cleared my font cache, and restarted the computer.
    I tried converting the text to outlines in InDesign.
    I tried setting the opacity to 99.9%.
    I changed the color of the text to a grey (240/240/240) to reduce the contrast in case that was an issue.
    The rest of the document appears fine in InDesign and as a PDF. No extreme jagged edges or low-quality appearance.
    Right now the document is intended to only be viewed on a screen, but since I'm unsure if I'll ever be asked to prepare it for printing I created it using ID's print layout. I've been avoiding converting it to a web layout because that would mean hours of reformatting, and I figure that fonts should render with smooth edges no matter what the layout is set as.
    I think I've done more than what's listed above, but forgotten the specifics.
    I'll try anything short of destroying the catalog and starting over.
    Thank you!

    Can you take a screenshot of what this looks like and post it?
    Also, I've noticed that sometimes weird crap will show up when you view something in Acrobat. Like you can see a line between the font and the stroke, but when you zoom way in, it looks fine. It will print fine as well. Just a display issue. Can you print it? When you print it does it look like crap?

  • Monitor screen font rendering

    I have installed a Samsumg 20" syncmaster monitor to my G5 and made sure my screen resolution is set correctly. BIG problem: Screen fonts are not rendering correctly (bitmapped). Anyone seen this before and have solution? Thanks.

    Hi artsnob56, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I have the same problem on my only Samsung, a 17" one hooked to a Mini, on mine it's the Monitor I'm pretty sure, a Panasonic & ViewSonic do not have that problem.
