Black strips, dots around application windows!!

I think since after updated to 10.6.3, there is a display issues on my computer.
There are black boxes around application windows, such as safari, firefox (like screen tearing). Also, for those scrolling pad on windows, and menu tab on the top are with kinda like a scratch displays. It can be solved by restart the system, but it will appear sooner after.
My model is MacBook (late 2008 version)....Is there any problem with my display chips or something else????

Its not voiceover. This has happened to my computer ever since I upgraded to 10.6. It always appears after I watch some sort of movie, whether it is on youtube or embedded in a website. Black boxes will form around windows, on my desktop, over the dock. I'll post a screenshot the next time it happens to see if we are talking about the same thing. It goes away if I restart the computer.

Is anyone else observing black lines all around applications windows in Mavericks?

Note that when I am in application windows am observing lines around my applistion windows as if there ewre multiple echos of the window and this happened since I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. I will attempt to insert a screen shot of the problem. I'm wondering if this is a common problem with Mavericks and how to stop it or cure the problem.
I'm using a 17" MBP
Image to the left is enlarged image corner

it seems to still be working... I thought the problem is generated by some program conflict so therefore I erased all .plist files in preferences/library from old programs I don't use especially those tweak programs from older versions of mac os x. And also all plist files that has to do with the word graphic. The computer works fine afterwards. The lines appeared after a while after starting the computer but now I haven't turned it off since 30 hours ago and it is still running. I've done a few restarts since the cleansing af plist files in the days before. I don't know still what the problem is but I know that I did one thing more and that is too changing "automatic graphic exchange" in system back and forth. I've a idea that it maybe was the trick.

Black lines appearing around windows and on screen in Pro 9.3.1

I have just installed the update for Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 and now am getting random black keylines around any windows open on my Mac. It does not matter which application, they are appearing on everything. They also show up on the screen when randomly when clicking around the windows.
I have a Mac Pro 3,1 running OS X 10.5.8. Has anyone any ideas as they are very annoying?! Thanks

Today, 3/31/2008, we received a "patch" from Oracle/Hyperion support that consisted of 3 SQL scripts to apply to the BI+ repository. After applying the folder permissions are now able to be set along with the objects in the folders. We found we lost provisioning for MSAD groups to the reporting ans analysis applications (workspace), but not sure if this happened because of not shutting down all the services including Shared Services. Since this was a dev environment, not a problem, but in our production environment we will ensure a complete listing of the provisioning before applying. Awaiting word from support about the provisioning issue.
There is an open bug report from a different client and apparently this is fixed in 9.5.

On my G5 mac at work, I am getting - don't know what to call it - looks like extraneous matrix type code around prompt windows and in applications. Sometimes I will get large shapes of colors, yellows, magentas, cyans. Anyone else experience this?

I will attach a recent screen shot of a print window I opened and the extra code is above and below the window. There are matrix type blocks of code and then lines under the window. I get this all the time and it is getting worse.
Any help to get rid of it would be appreciated.
Thanks

UI/Application window is randomly jumping around... often to my 2nd screen

CS6 running on OSX Lion.
I am having a frustrating issue with InDesign CS6.
Frequently the entire application window will jump around... sometimes with the toolbox shifting to my 2nd screen... other times the entire application window jumping to the 2nd screen...
The only fix I have is to Quit InDesign and restart.
Does anyone know how to fix this...?

try this:
reboot the CPU.
run the application as normal.
If the window goes off screen, reset your resolution to the point where you can see the window for the misbehaving application.
Move the window to the top left of your screen.
quit the program
rest resolution to normal.
run the program.
does its window appear on screen/where it should be located, not off screen?

You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I am getting blocks of black, vertical broken lines to right of cursor, around applications on desktop and over text on internet. I recently updated from OS X Tiger to Leopard on my G5 powermac. Can anyone advise how to get rid of the blocks of lines?

What graphics card is installed?
Have you looked inside to see if the interior is dusty?
Is the graphics card dusty?
If equipped, is the fan on the graphics card turning?
Leopard uses the graphics card harder than Tiger, so weakness in the graphics card is more easily shown.

Small Black Stripe And Dots On Screen (MacBook Pro 15")

Last year July i bought my first mac, amazed at it's performance graphics etc etc.
But recently a black stripe appeared out of nowhere, also there is randomly black dots
on the screen, whom appear from time time.
I've read a couple of thing like resetting ram, running diagnostics etc without luck.
Can anybody help me? I afraid they are dead pixels, if so i am very disappointed in the quality of
the screen (a thing that i didn't expect)
Anyone?

Your computer is new enough that they should be able to know it is under warranty whether or not you have the receipt. If you bought it from the on line store, you may have some paperwork in your email.
If you have access to an external display, you might check and see if the graphics problem is also on the external. If not, the problem may be with your display rather than with the chip. But whatever it is, it will be covered by the warranty.
The store may also be able to refer you to a local Apple Authorized Service Provider should you need one.
Good luck!

Black strip in front panel

Hi,
I'm using LabVIEW 8.6 and I've created a top-level application. On and off I've been working with this for several weeks without problems until now. Before it appeared I was working on replacing the controls and indicator with system types instead of modern.
Now there is a black strip (or rectangle shape) which sits below the menu and tools bar, these are some artefacts I've noticed.
the shape is only visible in edit mode (not runtime)
the shape resizes with the front panel to fit the width of the window
the shape remains beneath the tool bars regardless of where I pan to
I can't select it to do anything
I only see this in this particular VI
when I click save the black strip is replaced with a copy of the menu bar. The previous working menu bar is now non-functional of course.
Restarting LabVIEW and loading onto another machine has no effect - the issue is with the VI not the LabVIEW setup I believe.
I would really like to not have to copy/redo this work into a new VI. Anyone have any suggestions??
Attached are some screen shots which will explain things better.
Cheers.

Update Jan 26, 2015!!!
I put this here as well... We need to smash this bug and help NI Figure out a bug fix...
Same thing happened in LV 2013 SP 1 On Win 7, Saved in LV 11, opened in another machine, STILL has the bug... Can not get rid with resetting or anything.. Is transported with the vi's and LLB's... Seems to STICK with this front panel. Seems to be an "attribute" of the color I added when this happened. I could Ctrl Z "out" of adding the color but the Black Strip stayed there...
Suspect it occured when I tried to change the panel COLOR with the paintbrush...
Here is the BLACK bar... It SWITCHES up and down from the Blue to the Black..
Developers!
KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON??
I put the offending code in the
Service Request #2222205
Go get that bug and let me know when you SMASH it! Will be a fun and rewarding one to find.. Look into the Paintprush interraction with screen extents AND how this interracts with SCROLLBARS... When we paint on a BORDER??? What if panel elements overlap??
What if we SHOW ALL hiddel elements?? I tried that too...

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!

I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

Is there a way to view just one open Finder window (without any other Finder or other application windows coming into view) from a Desktop hot corner in Yosemite?

I just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro. Previously, I could view just one open Finder window by viewing the Desktop via a hot corner and then selecting Finder from the Dock. This would pull only the top Finder winder into view, without showing any other open Finder windows, and most importantly, any other open application windows. I could then easily drag files/folder from my Desktop into the Finder window (which I do A LOT). Since upgrading to Yosemite, whenever I use the Desktop hot corner and select Finder from the Dock, it pulls every open application and Finder window back into view, putting Finder in front.
Is there any way to view just one already open Finder window (or all Finder windows for that matter) without seeing all other open applications, without having to Hide the other applications or using Spaces?

Yes I've created an Automator Application that does the job, but the "watch me do" function that does the Mail Merge is a rather Clunkey work around, as the mouse moves all over the place, thats the part i want to remove and replace with a script, or work out a different way around it that avoids the "watch me do" function.
Is this Possible? or where/who is there i can ask to write me a script, im not a novice to scripting, but i am a novice to Applescript.

My screen dims and shrinks with a blue outline around the window. It won't let me do anything unless it goes back to normal, but it won't stay that way for long. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

When I start up my screen will rapidly shrink to a smaller size with a blue border around the window. It rapidly goes from full screen to this smaller screen with the blue border and back again. It seems to be affected by the use of the mouse. My mouse was old so I bought a new one....didn't help. When I have to tabs or two applications open they seperate, shrink, and appear simultaniously on the screen. This just started happening.

Put in the correct password.

Illustrator Application Window Resizes When Opening Smart Object from PSD

Hi All, I've taken a vector graphic created in AI CS4 and pasted it into my PSD CS4 doc as a smart object. When the original AI file was created the application window was set as I preferred it, filling my screen. When I double click the Smart Object in PSD to edit it back in Illy, the window that contains the application has been switched off of the fill screen mode and is quite a bit smaller. I know it's small but now I have to click the maximize icon in the application bar to get Illy to fill the screen again. It wouldn't be so bad once, but the application window resizes itself every time I punch back into the smart object from PSD.
Any ideas on how I can get the AI environment from switching around on its own??
Win 7, CS4, all patches current, Dual 22" montiors
thnx,
jeff

I just want to point out that when you open the smart object of course it is not the same file as the original but an embedded copy of it.
That might also have something to do with this issue and might also be a photoshop issue with the smart object and one reason might be that Photoshop is see the image as resolution and Illustrator sees it as a dimension and the teams might be able to do something about this but might not actually be aware of it unless you file a report even if it is not a bug it would then be a feature request.
They might not be able to do anything about it but then there might be a clever engineer with an idea, so it might be worth the report.

Adobe applications hidden underneath Apple OS X menu bar. I can't move the application window.

I cannot move the Photoshop application window. It is stuck/hidden underneath of the Apple OS X menu bar. I can't see the maximize, minimize, etc buttons and I cannot grab the frame of the window to drag it around the screen. Extremely frustrating. I've tried reseting the the window, quitting the application and re-opening it, logging off/shutting down and rebooting, etc. Nothing works. Maddening.
Help appreciated.

Glad to see this solution still works. Thanks robrevel2
NOT glad to see that this is still a problem under OS X 10.9.5 - I assume this continues to exist in Yosemite. It's great to see new features, but come on, how about some functional stability? I still occasionally lose the ability to toggle to hand tool with my spacebar.
