  • Green noise is being displayed where black should be being displayed

    OK, I am really worried that my Macbook Pro is screwed up bad. I've been playing World of Warcraft fine for weeks. Been watching my temps, been a little high but not anything dangerous. However I've recently been noticing that when I play WoW for over 2 hrs or so and exit, my screen glitches and what can best be described as green static is displayed where black should be. Now I've tried reseting the NVRAM and leaving it alone for a few hrs and it went away. Now it popped up again, did the same thing that fixed it before, but now it won't go away. Did my Mac overheat and now the graphics are messed up?

    Are you still under warranty? If so, it would be prudent to report this to Apple and possibly get a case number. It sounds like there could be a hardware problem with the graphics chip, even if nothing showed up on the AHT. Did you run the AHT at a time that you were getting the green noise?
    Have you tried an external display? If you get the some problem on it, that would indicate a graphics chip problem. If you don't, there could be some sort of problem with your built in display.
    Good luck!

  • Laserjet 2605dn color printing problem, Blue/green line on page.

    I have an HP color laserjet 2605dn that has started to print a faint,thin  blue/green line from top to bottom about 3 inches in from the entire right edge of every page. I ran the cleaning cycle with no change. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    I have very similar problem on my 2600n which is printing 2 vertical green lines very close together about 1.5 inches from left edge. All toners are in supply override mode with black toner reading: Estimated Pages Remaining 0
    Color cartridges contain toner with 329 pp remaining according to supply status page.
    Is this problem likely to disappear when toner cartridge(s) are replaced?

  • Red lines on screen where black should be what do i do ?

    So for a few weeks, i have been turning on my lap top and the places where black is supposed to be there is red, and it does not go away..sometimes it will go pink then turn red and will not leave....what do i do or what is wrong with my laptop??

    Hello brenanerzz,
    It sounds like you are seeing some incorrect colors on your MacBook Pro, and I definitely understand your concern with this.
    I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display.  I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

  • Screen displays red where black should be

    I have been having display issues for a few months and can not get it fixed.  Where the screen should be displaying black the color red is being displayed. My system info is:
    I have a G61 laptop with windows 7 64 bit system
    ATI Mobility Radeon 4200 series
    Driver 8.970.100.1100(201304290
    When I connect the laptop to a external monitor dont have this issue.
    I downloaded the Radeon file to detect the proper graphics drive and it confirmed that the latest driver is installed.
    Can anyone please suggest a way to fix this issue please?
    Thank you

    Hi @JereJK1960
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I saw your post regarding the problem with the red where it should be black. Since, this doesn't show up on an external monitor we know it is not a problem with your video card or graphics driver as it would show up on the external monitor. This is a hardware issue with the display screen or the connectors to the display. Give us a call regarding repair options. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

  • Dashboard Widgets: All I get is blue question mark where QT should be

    Hello,
    I have tried installing some interesting Widgets but many of them fail to operate. If there is a QT element to the Widget, all I get is a big blue question mark and the letter 'Q'...as though I'm being told that Quicktime is needed but the widget can't find it. I know for a fact that Quicktime is on my iMac (how could it NOT be?), so what problem am I suffering from and how do I remedy it?
    Thank you!
    Message was edited by: ChrisNH

    Well, it works even on Dialup here, no QT box.
    I'm not clear on what you mean by 'Repair Permissions.' What's that?
    Easiest way...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when complete.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Why blue question marks where images should be ......

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Glad to learn the suggestion helped you.
    Now if I can only find someone who knows what an error code 412 is on System 9. Been trying to find some clue - can't move files to external hard drive on my old G4 before I reformat internal drive and load system 10.
    There are many forums in Apple Discussions covering everything involving a Mac computer and related software. Why not start a new topic in the OS 9 forums. Perhaps Don Archibald will help you. He's one of the best at understanding OS 9.

  • Deskjet D4260 incorrect color (black prints as blue) - Vista

    I installed an HP Deskjet D4260 on my dell inspiron 531 with Vista Home. After updating to vista service pack 2 the color on all print jobs is off. (reds/greens/white seem to be correct, but black is being printed as blue)
    I've replaced the black cartridge. Also, as per other discussions I found online, is was recommended to uninstall, so I've also uninstalled and reinstalled all printer software and drivers, yet the problem persists.
    Do you know of another solution(s) to this problem?
    Thank you!

    Hello Luminosity,
    First thing to find out is if this issue is caused by hardware of software. To do this please print a testpage by Pressing and holding the Power button, press the Photo button and release both. Add this picture to the post by clicking the insert/edit picture button so that i can have a look.

  • Black color overlapping blues/greens ?

    Hey there. I have problems with colors. There is black overlapping blues/greens as shown on the image. This spiral is done with the same color airbrush style so the more saturated the area is the more black color percent appears. I have installed it 2 weeks ago and it was working well for kinda half that time. Suddenly that problem appeared without any idea why. I have tried reinstalling both graphic drivers and photoshop but doesn't help.
    PS ver: 13.0.1

    Good news everyone!  The AMD Catalyst 13.2 beta 4 driver finally fixes the problem, if you want to go for the very latest instead of downgrading. 
    I've been running the Catalyst 13.2 beta 4 driver for a few days now.  It seems pretty stable.

  • 7520e: black and white prints have blue cast

    Black & white prints have a blue tinge to them and are not true black and white.
    Is there a good explanation of what all the various controls do, in the Print dialogue boxes?
    Thanks.

    Hi @organgrinder,
    Your print Dialog box sometimes varies depending on which program you are printing from, but, I found some potentially helpful information about advanced color management;
    Using the default sRGB modeThe default sRGB color space is the most common setting for print jobs. As mentioned, most images are sRGB, and using sRGB delivers automatic high-quality color without user intervention. When sRGB is selected, the driver controls the color management. Color management should not be attempted with ICC profiles while the driver is set to sRGB mode. Doing so will usually result in lower color fidelity.
    Using the AdobeRGB mode
    The AdobeRGB Color Space mode is designed to provide compatibility with emerging camera functionality. This mode can be used for printing photos from digital cameras that support the Adobe RGB color space. For example, if a camera is set to Adobe RGB while capturing photos, those photos can be printed from any application by using this color space selection. For print jobs that involve significant editing or graphics composition in the Adobe RGB color space, ICC color management may give better results. Color management should not be attempted with ICC profiles while the driver is set to AdobeRGB mode. Doing so will usually result in lower color fidelity.
    Using the ICM color management mode
    ICM color management should be selected for the following reasons:Creating ICC profiles to manage printer color
    When using an application such as Adobe Photoshop, which supports the selection and use of ICC profiles.
    From the perspective of the printer driver, the ICM Color Management selection does one simple thing: it turns off printer color management. If this option is selected from an application that does not allow for the use of ICC profiles, or if no profile is selected for the printer, the resulting prints will be dark, vivid, unmatched printer colors. By disabling printer color management, the high-end user has complete, control over the color matching process via the application.
    - Source: Overview of Advanced Color Management
    Whether you are printing from paint or another program, one thing you might consider trying is enabling the HP Real Life Technologies.

  • Printing in green even when black chosen

    Lately, when printing from Appleworks 6.9.2, the output is always light green. Selecting text and choosing black from the text colour chart does not have any effect.
    What do I need to change to get back to being able to choose the colour I want for text?

    AppleWorks has no control over how your printer (via its printer driver) actually treats colors. Many color printers "mix" their own black, rather than use the black ink tank (if your printer even has one). As a consequence, when one of the primary color inks gets low, the black print becomes less black.
    If your printer does indeed use black ink, you might try selecting "Color Sync" from the "Copies & Pages" popup in the Print dialog. Then choose the "Black & White" Quartz Filter.

  • Deskjet 3050 does only print JPG files in color - all other docs are only printed in black and white

    Dear All,
    I have a problem with my Deskjet 3050 Printer. (USB connected with my laptop).
    My printer won't print colored documents in color but only in black and white (except for JPG files (photos) which are printed in color.
    Word documents or PDF files (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if these are in color.
    Copying colored pages with my printer is no problem.
    This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.
    The cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.
    Could the problem be related to the printer settings which I might have changed by accident.
    Thanks in advance for your advise.
