Color BUGS with new ATI 2600 HD

People with the new MAC PROs with the ATI 2600HD cards - list your Color bugs here. And solutions if you have them!
Here is what I am seeing:
1. In the Color FX room, if you try to make a VIGNETTE and set the Type to anything other than "0" or "1" you get a graphics bug - basically the vignette goes crazy and creates black lines all over the screen. Both zero and one only give you a circle vignette, and 2 is supposed to give you a square vignette.
2. Also in the Color FX room, trying to get your vignette to track along the path of a tracker seems to fail, and have the vignette move in the opposite direction.
Anyone else seeing this please pipe in - and if you have the same video card please give these a tes on your machine and report if you can reproduce this bug!

Stuart,
http://www.barefeats.com/harper8.html reports that the X1900 will work in the new Mac Pro towers, with one caveat: you must flash the card with the new firmware upgrade in an older, 1st gen Mac Pro.

Color printing with new Pixma very slow

(this was also posted on the general Airport Extreme forum, but I realized later that it's more pertinent to this one)
I recently replaced a Canon Pixma iP4300 printer with an iP4700. It works fine when it's connected directly to my iMac, but when I connect it to my Airport Extreme (to share it with other computers in the house), the color printing is extremely slow. Regular document printing is fine, but a color graphic or photograph takes a very long time. This never happened with my iP4300.
I've tried all the suggestions in the Printer Troubleshooting file and all my drivers and software are the latest versions.
Any other things I should try?

Hello Andy, Thank you!
- The computer is a New MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM.
- Many times, I try with new libraries, even I try Format to zeros, and when import new pictures, the problem appears again.
- All the pictures are imported to the main HD.
- Is a regular spinning type.
- I had try every option, even change the computer for a new one.
- Yes, the OS en every case was updated to latest version.
- No problem by the questions, I apreciate your help.
Best regards!
Ps.
In some users chats, the people says that is a bug of the last version of Aperture, but not in all cases appears.

Display bug with new catalyst driver & xorg

Hello everyone,
I have just updated catalyst (fglrx) from fglrx 8.40.4 to catalyst 7.11-1 and Xorg server from 1.2.0-5 to 1.4-5. Indeed I have an ATi Radeon Xpress 1100 (RS485) on my laptop.
Everything is well except...this bad bug :
almost each time a window is created (xterm, dialog box which pops up, firefox ...; there are maybe other trigger events) a strange blurred square appears at the bottom right corner of my screen, and my cursor has a strange trail, as if a piece of widget was attached to it. The cursor trail disappears quickly, but not the square. I have to switch in console mode and to go back to X to make it clear. It is composed of pixels of different colors.
Does someone have the same problem ?
Moreover the driver gl (or gl2) does no more work with mplayer, I have to use the x11 one, but glxgears is ok and I have, according to glxinfo, direct rendering enabled.

There are many problems with the latest AMD xorg driver. To fix the display corruption, add
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
To your fglrx device section in xorg.conf
Also, try disabling AIGLX - it's not working well and is known to cause some problems.
In xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Boot Camp bug with new Mac Mini?

OK, so I have used Boot Camp now for years, on a variety of Mac platforms, and I have always been able to set it up and run Windows, including Windows 7 64 bit. That is, until I purchased my new Mac Mini i7 (non server version) with the WD 750GB internal, with 8GB ram. As the new models no longer offer a built in SuperDrive, I purchased a Pioneer external Blu-ray drive and have it connected via FireWire 800.
I have a brand new retail Windows 7 64 bit installation disc and have downloaded and burned the Windows 7 drivers to a CD.
I followed the instructions implicitly, but always hang on the reboot that should go into Boot Camp and begin the Window 7 install. Instead, I get the dreaded "Boot disc not found. Please insert a bootable disc and press any key" error, from which there appears to be no return.
Anyone have any ideas or is this just a known bug?

This same message was displayed in my MacBook Pro yesterday when I partitioned the HDD, however in my case I hit the "Quit & Install Later" Option as I planned to install win 7 later. When I rebooted my Mac to my surprise it had defaulted to my DVD drive and could not find the disc (obviously, since I wasn't planning to install it). I remember that in SL this issue was not present. Ultimately, I had to hit the option key to boot back into OSX Lion and reset my Macintosh HD as my start up disk via system prefs.
As for your case I would suggest hitting the "option" key during start up and see if your Mac can recognize your Windows 7 disc. If it recognized select it with the keyboard arrow keys and when it is selected hit the "return" key. Then the Win 7 DVD should boot and then follow the instructions of the Windows 7 Installer.
My suggestion is to fill a bug report to Apple via their feedback section:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
As far as I know Bootcamp 4.0 is extremely buggy, yet I do think that OSX Lion overall is a very stable and snappy OS, I noticed that my system performance has not been that much impacted by it very much. My boot times went up by 3-4 seconds longer than SL and shutdown times went up by 1 sec only, as for app launch time they have remained the same. Hopefully further updates to OSX lion will address these and other issues.
Good Luck!

Bugs with New/Updated content icons

In the "My Subscriptions" page, there are two problems with the update icons on the left. Unless someone can prove me wrong or explain how this actually works, these look like bugs to me.
When I list my subscriptions I see that some have the half blue icon. I understand that that is the "Updated" icon (as opposed to the "New content" icon) as the sole definition of what the icons mean is at the bottom of each post page and it clearly states:
[Solid blue]: New content since your last visit
[Half blue]: Updated content since your last visit
When I click on a thread flagged with the half blue icon (from My Subscriptions) I expect to see that one or more posts have been updated, however *none of the post have the half blue icon*. This is problem #1.
Once in the thread I do see one or more posts with the solid blue icon. Here's my second problem: if blue means "New content since your last visit" *why am I seeing posts for the second time flagged with the solid blue dot* ?

Hi,
In the instance you give, it is because the TOPIC has been updated (half-blue) with a new (solid blue) POST. IIRC, when some one EDITs of of their posts then you may see the half-blue dot for that post.
Ah, I was right, I just edited this post and it had a half-blue dot.
Hope this helps.

Aperture will not run with new ATI 4870

I just received my ATi 4870 card from Apple today. Installed it in my early 2008 MacPro. Card works fine for everything except when launching Aperture I get the error "The graphics card installed does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture to run". Huh?? This is replacing a nVidia GeForce 8800 GT. The Ati is a newer, faster GPU than the nVidia and should absolutely run under Aperture. I'm guessing that Apple has not implemented the support for this card in Aperture, which is ridiculous since they're shipping it. Anybody else having this problem? Is there a work around until Apple fixes this?
Thanks

Chacro, it's definitely faster than my 8800GT. I don't wait nearly as long for images to render in Aperture, iPhoto, or Photoshop. I work strictly with Canon RAW 5DMarkII files that tend to be ~22-25MB and it loads 'em up like "right now" quick. Overall, I'm happy with it though it was a bit spendy. My advice would be to maybe wait for the nVidia GT285. Rumors are that Apple will be offering that in June, though I don't know if it will only be a BTO option, or sold separately as well. Sounds like that card is going to be just a little more expensive than the 4870, and will pack a full 1GB or RAM. I would have probably waited had I known that was coming when I ordered my 4870. I may wind up selling the 4870 then, or ordering a new MacPro with the GT285 option. Seems I can never have enough power to sling my photos around At the very least, I'll be selling the 8800GT though. Still a great card for someone looking for a bargain
Thanks again!

Anyway I do about 27000 in 3dmark2001se but I just ran 3dmark05 and my score was very bad about 3700. Is there something I am missing here?? Or is this card bad even though it does OK in 3dmark2001se?? Thinking fo taking this vid card back. Suggestion??

actually at stock settings that is about right for 3mark05.
i have a 3500 and x800 and at stock got 3850, thats with the latest omegas.
however if you overclock the gfx card to say 530/560 then you will see an increase of about 1k.
3mark05 like 3dmark03 before it are more gpu intensive so the gfx card is generally the weakest link. 3dmark01 is more dependant on the cpu and mem speed with a little of the gfx card hence the big difference in scores.
So in short, no there is nothing wrong and it does not mean an x800 pro is crap.
X800XTPEs and 6800 Ultras are scoring around 6k or less in 3dmark05 and thats mainly due to the extra 4 pipes.

WARNING: BIG bug with new Ovi on phone!!

Few days ago I gat the message there was a new version (version 2.08.042 I believe) for Ovi on my C6-01 phone. Download and instalation were okay. But I did found out that once you download something through Ovi store on my phone, the GPRS connection is not closed!?
As far as I know there was no other dataload then my download but battery was drained very quick cause of that constant connection.
So if you use Ovi on phone and did download something, make sure you check if the connection is closed or close the connection yourself. At least, that is what I have to do on my C6-01.

Ok, contacted the UK Nokia Care (there seems not the be a Dutch contact page). Have to say, they are surprisingly fast with reacting: got 2 reactions within 24 hours
On the downside, they do not read. Think they only scan for keywords cause the first reaction was the advise to turn off applications to prolong battery life. I reacted back again explaining and then the reaction was the advise to turn the phone GPRS setting "Packet data connection" to "When needed" (to which it was already set and has nothing to do with Ove Store bug). Reacted back again so see what happens now

Weird Bugs with new 4th Gen Nano

I've been getting weird bugs only a week after I bought a 16GB Orange 4th Generation iPod Nano on ebay New of course. First off, while at school the other day, it shut off and the apple screen showed for about 30 seconds. Then none of my 600 songs would play. However, I reset the ipod by pressing the center button and menu and holding them down for a few seconds. What do you think is wrong? Thank you so much.
John

I just bought a PURPLE 4th Gen Nano 8gig, and I have been having the same problem. If I skip to the next song more than 4 times, the Nano shuts off and reboots. I did have one particular song, when "played," that was causing it to shut down, so I removed it. I did not attempt to re-sync it. Now, if I skip to next track more than 4 times, it shuts down and reboots. This happens a few times a day. Depending on my mood, I may not want to listen to Rock tracks that day, so I skip them to get to my R&B tracks. Some days I want to listen to DANCE tracks. So, for clarity's sake, I do tend to skip songs a lot. But that should not be cause for constant reboots, from any MP3 player. It certainly was never a problem for my Sandisk Sansa e280, that I owned before switching to iPod.
Another item that bothers me is that my tracks are not all in alphabetical order. Or rather, I should say, they are listed alphabetically in multiple sections. Out of 1500+ songs, there are approx. 20 sections of A-Z. For example: If you scroll through the song list A-Z, you will not find Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy." But after Z, the list "continues" A-Z again!! But "Nature Boy" is not in that list either. The list continues on AGAIN, A-Z... and viola, there is "Nature Boy." In the THIRD section of A-Z of the song list. Anyone, have a clue as to WHY the entire library of music is not listed alphabetically? But rather parceled out in sections?? None of the tracks are repeated, each section of A-Z contains different tracks!! It makes finding a song you are wanting to hear, a real chore!! And is NOT indicative of a world class company, nor a world class product.
And before anyone reads off their teleprompter as to how "I should check to see that my computer is blah, blah, blah......" It IS up-to-date. Every driver, every piece of software, every security definition, every release, every add-on. I spent an entire weekend making absolutely POSITIVE that THAT issue was resolved. Vista SP1, Windows Defender, IE7, Firefox 3, iTunes 8, eve-ry-th-ing!! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I'm looking for a little thing called "real answers." Thanks.

Bug with new software

I upgraded to the new software, and my Ipod keeps resetting. furthermore, although I keep the backlight off, it keeps turning the backlight back on, wasting my batteries!!! please help!! I think apple suld release another version of the software

i would restor your ipod to the factory settings to fix the resetting problem. i think your backlight keeps turning on because it is set to turn on whenever you press buttons or scroll. if you go to the settings menu in your ipod, then go to backlight timer, an select off for it to be off.

Slow render speed with new Mac Pro / NVIDIA 8800

I bought a new Mac Pro to replace a dual G5 because I have a number of Motion projects to finish quickly. My local dealer recommended the NVIDIA 8800 as it has 512 mb RAM (versus 128 on my old machine). I'm finding that the render time is worse than with the G5. I have yet to successfully render a 1 minute segment using Compressor (I've left it to run overnight several times with no success).
In Activity Monitor I'm seeing this message: CompressorTranscoder (Not Responding). But none of Batch Monitor, Compressor or Motion are unresponsive - not indicating any hung applications.
I've read that version 10.5.5 has compromised the NVIDIA card with Motion but haven't been able to get any reliable corroboration. As the Mac Pro shipped with 10.5.5 I can't really roll back to an earlier version.
Any advice? Anyone with similar experiences? I'm trying to render on a new iMac with 4 GB of RAM (with the ATI 2600 video card) but it doesn't seem to be working as it is an hour in and shows at least three more hours.

Bug related to ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 / Different graphic cards ?

I have posted in different post regarding a color shift I experience in my pictures using Aperture.
All my displays are hardware calibrated and I'm starting to suspect it's related to a bug related to spesific graphic cards?
A picture illustrating my problem can be seen here:
http://homepage.mac.com/mr.lee/Aperture/
What graphic cards do the rest of you have that experience similar problems?
I have read that Apple maybe will include an update on some grapic cards in their 10.4.4 update and hope this will solve my problem
It's strange to see that the loupe function in the illustating picture shows the correct blue colors in one of the frames (the frame normally used to view the details in pictures not zoomed to 100% like I did in this example)
1,33GHz 17" PowerBook G4, 23" Apple Cinema HD Display Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2GB RAM

I've got the same problem with my ATI Radeon 9600 XT. The histogram on a B&W image even shows non-identical RGB curves
http://www.mungosmash.com/ViewPhotograph.php?GUID=246
I'm almost positive it's a bug with the ATI drivers.

Where can I find 24" ATI RADEON HD 4850 video card or if there is one compereble to it or dose Aple replaces with new one, because ATI RADEON HD 2600 is deffective and APPLE dose free replacment. Thanks

Where can I find 24" ATI RADEON HD 4850 video card or if there is one compereble to it or does Aple replaces with new one, because ATI RADEON HD 2600 has been recognised as deffective by Apple and APPLE replaces for free. Thanks

This [post|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6724880#6724880] mentions the possibility that the ATI 2600 cards are manufactured on two separate lines, and that problem cards may be associated with just one of them.
Thought it might be helpful to start posting specific card info and see if a pattern emerges.
There are 3 main places on the bottom side of the ATI card where potentially relevant information is written. There is also info in System Profiler. Please include what you can but at least Part Number, Serial Number (mask the last few digits), and a brief summary of the problem symptoms you are seeing -- or that your system runs trouble-free. Feel free to copy/paste my text as a template.
Please continue placing general comments in the threads listed above, and help keep this one focused on the card info. Thanks.
