Can't wake G5, odd black square on left side

I've been having intermittent problems when trying to wake my G5. I have a KVM switch and everything has been work with no problems up until the last Security Update. Now, on occasions, when I switch to the G5, the desktop is still showing, when it should be the screen saver. Moving the mouse pops the arrow up to the left side of the display with a icon sized black box around it. The arrow can be moved down, but it jumps by the size of the icon. Requires a hard re-boot. I've repaired permissions several times. The problem is intermittent. I've check some of the logs, but nothing jumps out. Any ideas which log I should look in?

First, it would be a good idea to determine whether the problem is Software related, or Hardware. If software, then you could possibly remedy by restoration from a backup, or complete reinstall of the OS, if you don't backup.
Do a screenshot (Shift-Command-3), and view this screenshot on another computer. If it is visible, then it is definitely software related. However, I don't think it is. I think the coincidence wit the connection of a USB key is just that, coincidental. But we must eliminate the possibility before proceding.
If the screenshot does not show the "bar" or "strip", then you should really consider the problem to be hardware related. As the MBA is not really user serviceable, the next step would be taking it to an Apple Authorized Service Center or Apple Store Genius Bar for diagnosis and repair.

red blinking light as well as trailing black broken black line going on left side that goes in a square trail

Did you ever fix this? My daughters is the same. Treated with tender loving care, we reset to factory and it disappeared but was back again after 2 or 3 days. Still in warranty so going to take to the genius bar, however a bit concerned that because it belongs to an 11 year old they are going to assume she's damaged it.

Mini-DVI to s-video: black bar on left side

Hi,
When outputting video through "the mini-DVI to s-video adapter" i have a black bar on the left side of my television.
It seems like the 1024*768 resolution is not able to completely fit the 4:3 area of my television (the image is to small).
any ideas?
thanks!

I'm absolutely sure everything is displaying and that the image is not deformed in any way.
So my conclusion is that the image is just smaller (in every dimension) than it should be and than it was before.
I will try a lower resolution later today.
thanks for your help and interest!

How Can I Achieve Sliding Out Social Icons on Left side of Page?

I have been trying to find free plugins, but ways to work with the various states in Muse, but am having trouble deciding which was is best. Here is an example of what I mean,,, but all are only for Wordpress.
http://smartcatdesign.net/sliding-social-icons-free-wordpress-plugin/

ok try and explain this best as I can....
ok,,, I used a set PSD document size first to make sure all Active Icons were same size....(screen shot 1)
2) Then after I had every icon I needed,, I saved each one as for instance facebook_active for site purposed,, but leave this document open to simply bring in the icon to next file
3) Next I opened a new PSD document and set size to 153px x 47px (was size I was looking for, which would be my hover state in the end)
4) If you look at my layers closely you will see kinda what I did,,, just added new layer and went little passed left edge of each icon with its own color: facebook=blue youtube=red.....
5) Then I centered text to make sure all text would be in the same spot and look good.
6) then when u have my 2nd screen shot,,, save that as facebook_hover
7) Muse time,,,,, go to muse and make rectangle of the size of your hover size (my case was 153px X 47px) and place with left edge alligned to left side of page.
go to fill,,, and image icon to upload your active icon first and make sure is original size and set to far middle left......then make sure your color fill is transparent,,, nothing.....
8) Then go to states and rollover and then go back to fill and upload the hover image and do original size,, should fill rectangle exactly

3 to 4 mm black line on left side

Hi all I have a iMac 20 inch and have a 3 to 4mm black line down the left side of the screen. Could someone tell me if this is a fault or is this common. I have had the mac for 2 weeks and it appeared yesterday.
Thanks Les

Well, it appeared just as your 14 day return expired, so call Apple under the 1 year warranty. No it is not common or expected.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

TS1314 i can not find a photo folder on the left side on itunes

I can not find the photo folder on itunes

It doesn't appear on the left-hand side. If you want to sync photos to your device then you need to connect it to your computer, select the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch on the left-hand side under 'Devices', and one of the tabs on the right-hand side should be Photos i.e. it's similar to the other tabs that you use for selecting what to sync to the device : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the device together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the it- not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the it.

How can I move the home button back tothe left side of the screen. In 4.0 it's on the far right, like IE, which sux.

None.

Right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize to open the customize toolbar dialog. With this dialog on display you can drag and drop the icons and place them where you want.

IPad 3 - black line down left-side of screen

My new iPad has dark thin line down left-side of screen.
Any ideas why this appears?
Screen appears fine apart from this line.

take it to your local apple store and have them take a look at it. You probably want to make an appointment first.

Can you raise audio level on just the left side of a stereo track?

Video with two lavs and two channels but capturing as stereo. One of the lavs is really low. Anyway to just raise that one side? I have Premiere CS5.52 and Audition 5.5 but don't see an obvious way to do what I need in either program.
Thanks for any help.

Jim Simon wrote:
For myself, I prefer the Fill effects. That'll center the channels. You'll have to duplicate the audio track and use Fill Left on one and Fill Right on the other, but you end up with easily adjustable audio.
But doesn't that leave you with two same mono tracks with the whole signal from both channels in there?
For me the easiest way is either apply the Channel Volume effect from the effects panel to the audio clip in the timeline
or, as Bill suggests, the Break out to Mono from the context menu to the source clip in the project panel.
and keep smiling

Can I put check box prompt on the left side of box?

Thanks.

Yes but you have to delete the label and use the prompt property instead. Once you have specified a prompt set the Attachment Edge to Start.

Black Square on Boot Screen after last update

Hi everybody, I made the last security update of OSX on May 25th, (osx 10.9.3), and iTunes 11.2.2 on June 10th.
I do not use to reboot so much the computer, but I do that every 10 or 20 days. After one of those updates, I got these screen while booting up the computer:
As you can see, there is a black square, with the cursor over it. I can move the cursor and the computer seems to start without problems (actually faster) but showing that square. The other difference is also that now I cannot see the usual spinner under the apple logo.
I do not have any kind of boot camp or other OS installed. I have only changed the HD for an SSD one, but this was at november of last year, and everything has worked without problems until this date.
If anybody can give an idea on how to solve it, or if I am the only one who is havving this issue, please, post it here.
Thank you very much

42ZV625D has a black vertical bar at left side when used as monitor

My 42ZV625D LCD TV displays a black bar at left side of the screen when used as monitor at resolution 1366 x 768. When I adjust the position of the screen a grey overlay appears at the opposite side. Can someone help me with this?

Hi there
If you like you can do a System restore to a previously known good state.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=in&lc=en&docname=c03327545
Alternatively try uninstalling current graphic driver from Display adapters section in Device Manager & reinstalling the latest Graphic driver from your HP support page.
Then restart the system, check.

Installing a program,added password,all i get is a black square that says REPORT BUG and Setting up,in the middle says procesing login,what can i do? thanks

Hello everyone,I have an IMac that is stuck with a problem,after installing a program,bought from Apple store,inserting my password,started the installing it stopped everything and a black square in the middle of the screen says,REPORT BUG, setting up and in the middle of the square says processing login, I waited a few minuts but nothing else happens,I tried to shut down,but it's still there,what can i do? thanks for any info.Icarorsv.

I'm sorry. Too old to understand this stuff. I'm sure this seems real stupid to you. But I have no idea how one
would "right click on the Original iPhoto Library" (I know, I know, 'as stated").
Do I right click on the symbol in the dock?? Or open it first and then, . . I can't find a way to right click on the word iPhoto in the top bar.
Or should I open the program you had me download. There I can find something called "original iPhoto library".
When I "right click" on that I get some options. None of them are "original folders". There's "reveal library in finder", and "dupilicate library and "sort libraries". I have no idea if any of these are what you want, or if any of these might change something.
When I clicked on "reveal library in finder" earlier on it showed me the copy of the photo library that I made a while ago, sitting right where I know it is on my desktop. And if I click on that symbol it shows me all the pictures again. Just like in my regular iPhoto files - all the thumbs are there, but most can't be opened to full sized.
Are we making progress here? I'm sure this is frustrating to you. This is just pictures of family. Even the thumbs are nice to look at. But this is nothing critical - like work related or anything.
Thanks.
Mike
