Colored stripes on my screen

Problem with Mavericks. Various colored stripes on my screen. They disappear after a restart but they come back after some hours.

This sounds like an issue with your display. The next time they appear, take a screenshot. If they do not appear appear on your screenshot, it is display related. If they do appear on your screenshot, it is related to your graphics processor. I highly suspected the former. Both are hardware issues and both are pricey fixes out of warranty, but a faulty display is cheaper to fix than a faulty logicboard. Best of luck.

Satellite SP6000 - Crash with colored stripes on screen

Hi!
I have a Satellite Pro 6000 and it worked good for more than two years. But in the last two months the laptop crashed from time to time with a distored screen out of flickering colored stripes. After that it takes some time to get it work again. XP Pro is fresh installed from the recovery CD's . Unfortunately it looks like a hardware problem. An external monitor shows the same distorted screen. I don't think that it gets too hot and the fan is working and blowing out warm air.
It is out of guarantee now and I don't want to spend much money on a repair task.
So, any suggestions for me? I don't fear opening and replacing/repairing some parts of it but it would be great to get some tips about a possible reason for this.
Thanks in advance and bye,

I'll give it a try. Although these two modules worked good for over two years.
Would be better than the motherboard ;-)

How do I delete Vertical color stripes (pink-red-green) on desktop screen - 6 of them. Anybody have the same problem? Other Mac groups have same problem.

How do I delete vertical color stripes on my destop screen. There are 6 of them in pink, red and green. Can't believe I'm having problems with my wonderful iMac!

Unfortunately, they aren't something to be "deleted." Might be a hardware/graphics chip problem. You should run the Hardware Test in Extended. Might have to run it several times to pick up an error.

My IPad has one half of the screen with vertical multi colored stripes and the other half is normal. Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a solution?

You could have a hardware issue, but try this and see if it helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

MacBook iPhone Sync Creates Vertical Stripes on MacBook Screen

I'm at a loss on this one... I have a black MacBook and I sync my iPhone 2G with it normally. Starting yesterday, when I sync my iPhone with it, iTunes starts the sync process normally, but after a few seconds, the screen switches to thin vertical color stripes. The cursor moves, but instead of an arrow, I get a pale 3 inch square that moves with the track pad. I then must do a hard restart. My attempts to fix this include:
- Repaired disk and permissions in single user mode with fsck and AppleJack
- Deleted iTunes prefs
- Restored and totally zapped iPhone to initial status
- Tested with my wife's iPhone and has same issue
- Downloaded iTunes and installed it again
Any other suggestions here? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jason,
The only thing I didn't see as part of your troubleshooting work flow was resetting the SMC.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
It's unlikely (although anything is possible) that for video distortion the issue is software related, especially when the iPhone is connected. At first I was going to suggest the remote possibility that the phone was possibly the culprit but the fact that a second iPhone also does the same thing would lead me to believe that's not the case.
After resetting the SMC, if the issue persists, the next step is to arrange a hardware repair on the machine or at least have it further diagnosed. What about an iPod? Do you own one or have a buddy with one that you can verify?
It's possible that there's a power management issue between the USB bus and the Inverter (backlight) or even the LVDS cable (video to the display). Resetting the SMC, is the first step to begin to determine what the problem is and how to properly proceed based on the result would be a hardware diagnosis via a service provider.

Wierd color stripes on startup (PC)

I just bought a 23' for my PC.
I know im not able to see the boot screen on startup, but it seems like i get som kind of signal problems. When the screen should be black on startup, it appears a lot on colored stripes and light instead. When the windows os appeares, the screen gets kinda out of focus. Sometimes the screen turns it self on and off like there is something wrong with the signal.
If I turn on the screen after windows had loaded, everything works perfect.
im going to buy a new grapich card soon with a new pc, but i dont know if this is a graphic card/signal problem or a mailfunction on the monitor..
If its not anything wrong with the monitor will theese signal errors damage it?
any help is appreciated!

LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
Anybody know of a way round this?

Hi @dnhowes ,
I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.

Colors different in full screen view

I could as well post this under "Mac OS X", but I think here in the Aperture forum it is more likely to get help.
I have the following problem: when viewing images in full screen mode, their colors are different than in the normal windows mode. The difference is not subtle, but severe. For example blue skies have a lot more red and appear much more saturated.
While trying to narrow down this problem I found out the following (and here it starts to get really strange): I exported one image as a JPEG to the desktop to see what the colors would be. The thumbnail then had the oversaturated colors of the full screen view in Aperture. When clicking on it, Preview showed the correct colors with a normal blue sky. When switching to slideshow mode in Preview, again the oversaturated colors from Aperture full screen came up.
When I disconnect my 23" Cinema Display, the full screen view of Preview shows the same colors on my PB like in window mode. So I believe it has something to do with my 23" CD.
Can anybody come up with a good explanation for this behaviour? Could this be some kind of a profile problem?
Any help appreciated
PB G4/1.5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Aperture 1.1.1

I read Zausel's post that referred to the Colorsync Utility. Under the Devices tab I was able to see both my monitors and confirm they were both assigned the proper profile (they were). There is an option to "Make Default Display" in this utility. I noticed it was defaulting to the Color LCD of the MacBook Pro. I had already set my 23" to my main screen in the display control panel by dragging the menu bar to the big screen in the layout tab. I selected the 23" screen in Colorsync Utility and selected it as the "Make Default Display". Now my full screen previews are accurate. Aperture must use the display profile for normal view screens, thumbnails, light table, but change to the default display profile when it does full screen. (previously, it was using the profile for the 15" MBPro screen for full screen views; thus the inaccurate color) Now everything is in sync and my color looks good on the big display in both normal view and in full screen. Hope this helps someone else.

The picture from my AppleTv on my Samsung LCD TV doesn't fill the entire screen. It is only a strip across the screen

The picture on the screen when viewing movies on Apple TV on a samsung lcd screen is only a strip across the screen and doesn't fill the entire screen. Any settings suggestions?

If you can get to the settings on the AppleTV attempt to adjust the resolution settings to something more appropriate.

Colored Stripes in body of e-mail

All e-mail recevied via enterprise server contains diagional colored stripes in the message body. How can I remove them. Makes it difficult to read the text.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just a quick note on a couple of things. When I got a new 8110 with OS 4.3 and BES migrated over all my settings and data, I had the colored lines show up because they were set on my old 8100. However, when I went into the Security->General settings enterprise and other were set to "none". Very strange. So I set them to different colors and saved the settings. Then went back in and set them to "none", saved the settings, and they were gone.
Also, I have been using Empower Email viewer for a while and it let's you set the headercolor differently for each email account. It doesn't use those hideous stripes at all and I have the header colors set to be just subtly different between each email account. The background color is the same for all messages and I have it set to a soft complimentary color. All very nice on the eyes. I have the Empower Pro version, which isn't very cheap, but I love being able to add a task or appointment from an email and it also cleans up long URL's, so the colors were a nice added touch to all that.

Hi,
I am looking for nearly the same. What I have found is that it seems to manipulate the SAP theme that is used in standard when template is executed in the portal. Just display the source code of the HTML and there you will see the included SAP theme (normally SAP_TRADESHOW). Then you have to go to the SAP portal and change this stuff. But for that you have to know where to find it and what impact this change has.
I am not pretty sure if this is the right way. But as I want to change the standard layout of a whole template to a customer specific layout I think there is no other way in BI7.0.

Peter

Change color depth of shared screen?

I'm using ARD 3.2 on Mac Pros running 10.4.11.
First of all, I'm not asking about changing the color depth when viewing a screen with ARD. I would like to adjust the color depth when using the "*Share Screen...*" feature to put my screen on 10 other machines for demo purposes.
When viewing a screen there is a little slider to change among B&W, Grayscale, Thousands, and Millions. There is no slider or any preference that I can find for sharing, but I was wondering if there might be a plist or pref file that can be modified either client-side or on the ARD admin computer.
I need to have millions of colors, but all it will do is thousands. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

Hi *,
here's a little guide how to patch the Screen Sharing application so it'll allow adjustment of the color depth in full screen mode:
