Display problems after installing 10.5.2 and the leopard graphics update

Shortly after installing the leopard graphics update, my display started exhibiting problems.
The next day, the powerbook wouldn't even boot, just leaving me at a blue screen.
I tried verifying permissions and verifying disk, reinstalling leopard and eventually did a fresh install of Tiger, which boots, but crashes frequently and has graphics corruption as visible in this screenshot:
http://pics.livejournal.com/dorukai/pic/000fw0hw
The same corruption is visible on a second monitor if I connect one.
The timing (being right after installing the graphics update) suggests that the update somehow caused this problem (flashing the video card firmware maybe?) but any ideas at all are very welcome at this point!
Unfortunately after installing Tiger I kept getting updates, and one has broken the ability to boot normally, I can only boot in safe mode

I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.

I know why I have been having problems with FF 3.6.16 and the last thunderbird update

I am in Canada and for some reason downloads for both 3.6.12 FF and the last Thunderbird update was the BritishVersions thats why I have UK search engines, not the US versions maybe that is why I am have trouble with my email and addons. The other 2 computers in my house is the US versions.
But there is still something a bit screwey with 3.6.12 some of the addons are not working properly on the other puters. Can you please change the sofware to the US version please????? Thank you
I have deleted the software twice already. before realizing I was downloading the british version.....same problem with my Thunderbird can't connect to isp even though everything is done correctly!!!!! Help!!!!!

You probably can do that.<br />
If you keep the wrong language then remove the offending language pack from the chrome folder in the Firefox program folder.
You may need to (re)set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the preferred language ("en-US") on the about:config page.<br />
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, like you open a web site.<br />
Use the Filter bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.

Preview app and retina display problem after installing Maverick

Hi everyone, i upgraded to Maverick yesterday and i now have a problem with the software "Preview 7.0". I've got a macbook pro 13" retina.
Before Maverick i could visualise image in high resolution using Preview, and the 100% view was showing the image full quality. Now my Preview software acts like i'm not on retina and i can only visualise my images with the resolution of a standard monitor.
Does it make sense ? Please help !!!

I'm having the same issue with Preview not displaying images at the correct resolution. If you also look at the info in Preview, there are metadata issues showing up. Under "Creator's Contact Info" this is the info displayed.
Creator's Contact Info: , CiAdrCtry, CiAdrExtadr, CiTelWork, CiUrlWork, CiAdrPcode, CiAdrRegion, CiAdrCity, CiEmailWork
Something is broken with the program.

Display Problems After Installing Graphics Card Drivers

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem that's got me stumped?
I've just upgraded my pc (CPU, Motherboard, Memory, Hard Drive, Sound Card, Monitor) - the only things that haven't changed are my graphics card and PSU.
I've built the system, installed windows and the motherboard drivers, which all work correctly. But after I install the graphics card drivers and reboot, the display becomes all scrambled when it loads into windows. The display is fine with the initial boot and up until the Windows XP screen, with the moving bar comes up.
The graphics card was fine in my previous system and I have tried my old monitor, but neither works. I've updated the BIOS, using the MSI Live Update program and have also tried various versions of the nVidia drivers (including the latest).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
****UPDATE****
I've now managed to install the nVidia drivers and now windows loads normally, but after a short amount of time the screen scrambles again.

I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update.

[solved]display problems after installing nvidia driver

hi
i have nvidia geforce 8400 gs card, after i uninstalled all other drivers, installed nvidia,nvidia-utils, then nvidia-config,then installed vpdau-video,then restart
i noticed that hardware and deamon checks screen after boot became huge letters as if no driver installed yet, and when i run lxterminal i noticed black window on the top left of the screen exactly the same size as the terminal window, and when i browse using chromium and the page contains flash video, the video window image stays on the screen.

I think current nvidia driver is broken - I have these black windows at some rare situations also (under KDE without effects; no under OpenBox). IIRC, nvidia developers mentioned somewhere in Arch bugs system they are aware of the problem.

Problems after installing OS X 10.5.4 Leopard

I need a bit of advice.
After a long delay I have finally upgraded my iMac G5 from OS X 10.3 Panther to OS X 10.5.4 Leopard.
I chose to use the ‘Archive and Install’ option and everything seemed to go smoothly. After the installation was completed the computer re-booted with the new Leopard desktop.
However, ‘Set Up Assistant’ did not appear as stated within the instructions. I couldn’t create an Apple ID (maybe my old ID is retained?) or MobileMe subscription or register my copy of Leopard with Apple. Why is this?!?
My other problems are as follows:
a) When I try to open my ‘Appleworks’ (don’t laugh, like it!) from the dock, up pops a message ‘The application Appleworks quit unexpectedly’. If I try to launch it by clicking on an Appleworks file they open successfully but in a Swedish version of Appleworks!
b) When I try to open my old copy of Photoshop 7.0 I get a pop up message stating ‘An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error’ and I have to quit.
Both programs worked perfectly fine in OS X 10.3 Panther.
I’d be very grateful for any advice on how to cure these blips.

You don't need to register Leopard. Try deleting Appleworks .plists and caches User>Library>Preferences>Appleworks, delete the .plists and the caches and see if that helps.
Also, try deleting Recent Items. User>Documents>AppleworksUserData>StartingPoints>RecentItems and empty it, perform this regularly and things should go back to normal.
Then, make sure that the input menu you chose is NOT Unicode (SystemPrefs>International>InputMenu).
Then Repair Permissions and you should be all set.

TS4006 After installing IOS 6.1, and the ICloud I am unable to find my contact list on the Iphone. Help!!

I am unable to find my acontact list after downloading IOS6.1 and the ICloud. When I open contacts up on the Iphone is says that I don't have any????

I'm sorry for the delay in my response but I was away for the weekend. I went through and tried all of above and still not working. To answer the question about connecting to another router ie Starbucks was not tried as I haven't had a chance to get over there yet, BUT I do have hot spot on my iPhone and I don't see that either. Currently I connected to the internet through the hot spot using Bluetooth, so I am able to use it but only if my phone is around. It is the only way that I can get the iPad online currently.
As for the answer regarding SSID/router changes, I am not very technologically sauvy but I do know that it was working perfectly for several months and just suddenly stopped connecting, but as I mentioned above every other device connects to the router in my house and nothing has been changed or added. It does seem weird that it won't find my iPhone when the hot spot is on and every other device will.
Thank you all for your responses, and please keep them coming. Is there anyway that maybe I changed a setting on my iPad accidentally that I am not aware of? By that I mean other than the obvious wifi on/off switch. I keep hoping the answer will be something silly, obvious and a quick fix.
Once again, thank you all for taking the time to answer. Hopefully we can all work to figure this out and help out myself and the others having this ANNOYING. issue!!

10.5.2 update and Leopard Graphics update = no sleep mode

All, After updating my MacBook Pro to 10.5.2 and the Leopard Graphics update, my computer will not longer enter sleep mode after a specified time. I can manually set the computer to sleep mode, but it will not automatically go to sleep mode. I have tried resetting the System Management Control Center VIA http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 and everything else in that doc.
Any suggestions?
TIA Jon

Call AppleCare and see if they can help.
Regular trouble shooting
1) Create a new account, name it test or something
2) log into that account to see if the behavior changes
3) If it does, then there is some problem in your own account.
4) If it doesn't, restart.
5) If the behavior still doesn't change, there is some system configuration error
In this case
6) Open Disk Utility. Verify your disk, then repair permissions (not likely to fix the problem but will at least eliminate that possibilty)
7) Get a copy of Leopard Cache Cleaner and do a MODERATE cache cleaning
8) Restart
If still not fixed, reset PRAM and the SMU. Look on the Apple web site for instructions for your particular computer.
If still not different, do an Archive and Install. However go to the Apple web site and download the 10.5.2 Combo updater first. After you Archive and Install from either the disk that came with your computer (assuming that it is Leopard) or the retail Leopard installer. Then run the combo updater. Then run Software Update.
These problems are disturbing and really shouldn't happen, but they do. However, they can be fixed and you'll find that Mac OS is, overall, much better than the alternatives.
BTW, I just went through this whole mess for crashes on wake from sleep (USB issues) and failure to sleep (printer driver issue). Another computer had DHCP problems and actually needed a reinstall. However both of them are working fine now even though it was a pain getting there.

Networking problem after a zone is created and installed

Hi all,
I've got a networking problem after a zone was created and installed on a Solaris 10 box. The box was configured with two NICs, one (e1000g0) with a public IP address, the other one (e1000g1) with a private IP address and connected to a local switch. All worked fine so far.
Then I created a local zone with shared networking (e1000g1). The zone has a private IP address which is in the same subnet as e1000g1 on the global zone. After some time, I noticed that I could not access (ssh, ping) the global zone. Then after some time, the global zone became available. The problem happened quite frequently.
Also I observed that: 1) When the global zone was unavailable from outside, it was available (ssh, ping) from another box within the same subnet (e1000g0); 2) If I shutdown e1000g1, the problem was gone.
Any idea what caused this problem?
Many thanks,
Xiaobo

It was a route problem.

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Display problem after update XP service pack 2

Can anyone advice me on the following :
I installed the XP service 2 (Xp pro) on my Satellite Pro 2100 and ever since I have at the right side of the display a black border that is not used of about 2 cm wide.
I've tried installing the latest nvidia geforce driver but that didn't solve the problem.
Before the update my resolution was put to 1024x768 32 bit colors, but now I can only put it to 969 x 768 ? Never heard of this resolution before but now my screen is no longer jumping from left to right.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks already,
pLippo

Hi pLippo,
it seems the display driver is not compatible to the Service Pack 2. I understand your issue in this way, you have this problem after installing the Service Pack and not before.
In my opinion you could download and install the latest display driver from toshiba (https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com) under Support and Download page.
If this doesn't solve the problem you could wait until toshiba releases a new display driver or you uninstall the service pack 2.
Bye Hans

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....
