Display switches to green and black colors

New RFB 2.4gig MacBook Pro display switches to green and black colors and looks like a 256 color mode. It has done this two days in a row and only after surfing for about 1 hour. Restart fixes the problem. Usually when this occurs I have Safari, Opera, Mail and maybe another program open and occurs when closing windows in rapid succession. Situation does not occur for the remainder of the day.

The problem has not occurred for two days after extensive use of the laptop. Both times that I got the green and black screens was after using the 5.8GHz telephone handset near the laptop. I updated to the latest Flash Player but I doubt Flash was the cause of the problem since Flash is regularly used and the condition only repeats when the telephone handset is used near the laptop. Never have had a problem like this with 6 previous Mac laptops.

Why has my new Yosemite begun to display purple, green and black

why has my new Mac Yosemite begun to display un purple, green and black

This behaviour takes over the whole screen. Restart brings back normal grey/white but the colour problem returns during further computer use.
No changes have been made to the colour preferences.

Has anyone experience Mac Book Pro screen went alien green and black?

Hi...I was using my mac when the screen suddenly turned alien green and black, I can still use it though (like save the file and so on). It turn alright after you restart the computer, but I'm afraid if something has gone wrong.Does anyone ever experience the same problem? Does anyone know what is wrong with my mac? I start using this computer since November 2008. Cheers!

Update:
I brought it into the Apple Store near my house once. Booted up fine twice. Brought it back, because the green and black vertical lines, and the inversion of colors froze the computer 4 times after the visit. The Apple Genius ran a MacBook Pro NVIDIA graphics card test, which went well until it FAILED one of the tests.
I had the option to have it fixed in the course of a week, but I thought that since it froze only a few times, that I could work through it (I have important final projects coming up), but now it won't start up. I will have to have Apple ship it away to fix it, because they are behind in their repair shop in the store. So, I will be without it for a week.
They said it had something to do with the logic board, which I think is part of the motherboard. So, I am glad I backed up most of my projects' data, as they said they might have to erase data when they fix it.
So, save your files onto external media (HD, flash drive, CDs, DVDs, etc.), and don't let this problem persist; have an Apple Genius check it out, so that you're not in my boat.
I wish you the best in your troubleshooting!

EXAMPLE - red/white/yellow are scart cables.
scart cable doesn't have any color....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scart?red/white/yellow are A/V cableyellow for video, red and white for audio. Those 3.5mm cable Creative uses are simply stereo cable. What Creative do is join 3 pieces of stereo cable together only. Nothing special about them.

Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Illustrator cs6 white and black color changed to "blanco and negro"?

I created a "user defined swatch" and it was working fine until today I opened my file and wanted to update the file and then I realized the white and black color on the swatch changed! The white is still 0,0,0,0 but the black changed to c=71.39%, m=65.35%, y=66.87%, k= 76.71%. Not just that, the red changed to "Rojo CMYK" and the yellow changed to "Amarillo CMYK".
May I know how to change it back to normal black, white, red, etc...? Thanks!

No. Never in spanish. I've been using this Illustrator and this "user defined swatch" for so long and never in spanish. And my system is in English too...coz I don't know any spanish.
What changed is that...in my "user defined swatch", the black value from c=0, m=0, y=0, k= 100 to c=71.39%, m=65.35%, y=66.87%, k= 76.71% and the name is not "BLACK" but "negro". The white is still c=0, m=0, y=0, k= 0, but when you hover, you will see the color is not called "white" but changes to "blanco". All the gray color is not 80%, 70%, 10%...any more. All the cmyk number changed. All the gradient names too.
I am sorry that I couldn't provide any screen shot coz yesterday I already deleted my own swatch and create a new one...which has no problem.

ITouch camera blinks green and black, sometimes purple

I have an iTouch 4G and a few months ago I dropped it, there are cracks but everything worked fine, now after five months the camera will not work. The screen blinks green and black and sometimes purple, I reset it, restored it, but it still doesnt work. I'm sure it wasn't from dropping it because it's the camera on the back that does not work. I'm still eligible for the warranty but will they not honor it because of the cracked screen? Thanks

Apple will exchange your iPOd for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
Accidental damage like dropping the iPod voids the warranty for the entire iPod.

My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.

Export Issues: Green and black flashes and dropped frames

Hello,
So I've been having in issue in the last week exporting videos in Adobe (CS5, Premiere 5.0). It's happened both in AME and direct exports from Premiere. The sequence settings match the footage settings (1280x720 (1.0) 23.976fps MTS files). I'm using a mini matrox mxo2 hardware accelerator to speed up my export times. The sequences start with 5 seconds of a still image with a simple Title laid over it in Video two (the person's name, city etc. that is the focus of the video) which then dips to black into the footage. Everything plays back fine but after I output the sequences within the first 5 seconds (while the still img is up (a .jpg) there are flashes of green and black as well as dropped frames. It only happens a few times but it does happen in each video, only while that title is on the screen.
I've made hundreds of similar videos with the same export settings, same sequence settings, same footage settings. I know because it's a lot of the same cameramen and I've made templates for my projects, sequences, and export settings.This has never been an issue before this week.
I've tried mining Google and forums for an answer but can't even find other people having very similar problems.
Any help on ideas to troubleshoot this would be much appreciated and let me know if you want any more info from me.
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply J_Heffernan.
So my understanding of the issue is more clear. The green fields is from a rendered clip, not from playback.
Please try the following:
- in control panel, go to user accounts, and locate your account, and confirm its UAC level is all the way down, reboot if required
- if you downloaded the Matrox driver with another browser, besides IE, then redownload it again, with IE. Once completed, right click the file, go to properties, if there is a message stating its blocked, click the unblock button
- uninstall the MXO2 driver, reboot and reinstall it
- go to http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu let it scan to see if there is an intel chipset driver update availalble, and install it, reboot
- lets try with a brand new project - select matrox.avi as your capture mode
- select a matrox HD/SD sequence - try HD 1080i 29.97
- give a new name
- place colour bars on the timeline and streach it out
- now do a file export, use a Matrox h.264 option, and let adobe media encoder export it
- after it is completed, how is the playback?
Typically you can have premiere and media encoder open at the same time.
Regards
MTS

Apple TV 1G black screen or green and violet colors please help me

Hi, I have an apple tv 1G and from one day to another is not black screen, the strange thing is that on another monitor "HP w2207" looks good. But I've tested Sony LED TV, LG, .... and does not work in some apple when starting out and color is violet and green and looks bad but does not exit the main menu. I've reinstalled the factory, I tried to change resolution I miss everything but nothing. I'm desperate please help me

I also periodically have this purple/green color showing on the screen when I turn on and sometimes it happens when I turn on Directv so not an Apple TV issue. I believe in my case it is the HDMI cable/port causing it. But it corrects and gives normal picture if I turn off the tv and all devices and turn all on again.

Sapmmc - jstart.exe keeps restarting, switching between green and yellow

Hi Friends,
I installed the SAP core server ( as part of SAP convergent charging) , but jstart.exe and dispatcher-1 process in sapmmc are noticed keep switching between yellow and green. when the jstart.exe turns green (all process running) , dispatcher-1 turns yellow (waiting to start) and when dispatcher-1 turns green (restart-yes) , jstart.exe turns yellow (some processes running). Only for a small duration , they both remain green (may be during transition).

HI,
Import the SAP profiles in SAP transaction RZ10: Utilities - Import profiles - of Active Server
OR
Check what messages do you have in jvm_server0.out, dev_server0.out and bootstrap traces,
also have a look at the note 142100.
The first problem is that in the SCS instance there are no running enqueue server as its starting line have no line break at the end in the start profile. Without this NT cannot parse the line. After adding the line break the enqueue server could start.
The second problem is that in the global dispatcher configuration for the LockingManager the en.port was set to 3201 instead of 3200 (which is correct as the SCS instance has the intance number 00).
After correcting these problems the J2EE engine could be started fine.

My iMac display occasionally flashes green and purple horizontal lines... is anyone else having this issue, or know of a fix?

The screen occasionally flashes purple and green horizontal lines across it. Then the buttons on the left side of my menu bar turn fuzzy, and when I click on them they become black rectangles with green and purple lines running thru them. The dock also has a hint of green and purple in it. And some of the shadows around application windows are just black outlines, instead of gradiating shadows. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone have a fix? I read about the other supposed graphics issues, but I think they're unrelated, or at least left unfixed by the firmware update.

All Macs come with a one year limited warranty.
If you purchased AppleCare, contact info > http://www.apple.com/support/products/
Why can't you use the Bluetooth keyboard?
According to the link I posted for the AHT..
"For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead."

I bought a macbook pro retina ME665 in Dubai, and 3 month later its display stopped working properly.some white lines appeared on it and display itself became white and black. Can anybody suggest what should I do to fix this problem?

In October 2013 I was on Vacationin Dubai and bought there Macbook pro retina ME665. I returned to Kyrgystan (home town) and for New Year I was away for a week. When I came back i found that the dispaly of my laptop became white and black, some lines appeared on it. Everybody in my family told me that no one has dropped my laptop or done anything that can cause this problem. there is no any service provider of apple in my country. WIl, the international warranty cover this case? I bought this laptop not from apple store,but in a simple store and I lost reciept.

Put the Serial Number in here...

Are you opening Safari directly from /Applications rather than using a Dock shortcut ?.
If the one in /Applications won't work either - what happens exactly... if there's a crash report, please post it here.
Also, check Software Update, and/or manually install Safari 5.1.9 for Snow Leopard

27" apple cinema display switch between mac and pc

I have a 27" ACD with a standard mini display port and USB connector for my macbook pro. I'm going to bulid a PC (for gaming) and I'd like to connect the mintower PC to the 27" ACD. Is there a product that will allow me to switch between the MBP and the PC? If possible I'd also like to have the sound run through the switch as well.
One other thing to note - I'm considering the GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphix card, the card does not have a mini display port, it have two dual link DVI's and one mini HDMI.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Simple, the gaming PC must have a GPU with minidisplayport output. Then use Kanex snap X switch to do the switching between the PC and the Mac.
