EMac display problems connected to FCP problems?

I've posted this problem on the boards before, but figured its about time to give it another go. I've an eMac running OS X.3.3 and FCP 4.5 (along with the rest of the Production Suite package minus motion). Over the summer, I had brought the computer to my collegue's work studio. There we have a G5 (1.8 GHz) and a G4 desktop (dunno the specs). I had transfered a project from my eMac to the G4 and finished it there. While working on it, the still pictures apparently all went offline but when clicked, they showed up in the viewer just fine.
I finished the project on the G4 in the studio and moved it back (via ethernet network) to the eMac. When I did this, the problem came with it. In addition, whenever I put text on a project in FCP, it would be green and partly transparent.
Then I noticed certain buttons in FCP were not readable on a few pop-up menus (The 'set scratch disks' menu in particular). There are a black pixelated rectangle with the button-ends instead. Also, when I run Toast Titanium (for burning TS folders from DVD Studio Pro) there are several lines across the program window that appear static-y.
In a hopefully unrelated problem, the eMac (Now back at my house) gets stuck while 'allocating disk space' during capture now. I'm trying to capture to one of my 2 external drives. The one in question is a lacie 250 gig that has a fantom 250 gig daisychained through it into one of the two firewire ports on the computer.
PUH-LEESE give some advice if you have any. I've resorted to the version of Premiere Pro on the PC, which is ok, but not up to par with FCP.

First of all, your last question - when you trash prefs it removes the limit on Capture now. That tells FCP to allocate every last bit of disk space when doing a capture now, thus the beach ball when capturing Now to external drives. Go into your prefs and limit Capture Now. Also, if you are running Norton or Virex, don't. They will also cause the beachball during capture. You can read all about it in Shane's stock answers at the top of the forum.
Second - your display issues - do you have the colors set to Millions? As to the apparently "offline" media, that's just your thumbnail cache. You can delete that and it will be rebuilt.

  • Emac display problems etc

    Hi, I have an emac g4 that has a number of problems, It is a 1.25gz. Sometimes it will boot to a blue, blank screen, on holding down the alt key I see the boot drive and I can start up (10.4os) but will go to the blue screen again. When it does start up properly, which it does for no apparent reason, there are little dash shaped spots on the screen and a flashing horizontal flicker. I ran fsck and disk utility and installed a fresh version of 10.4 to no avail. I do not have the original disks so cannot run hardware test. The computer falls under the Apple emac screen repair but they will not accept it because it is out of the three year time limit, very frustrating and unfair. I read about an IVAD cable that can be replaced to repair the problem but am not sure if it is relevant to this problem. I would be very grateful for any ideas, thanking you in advance,
    Connor

    Hey conner..,
    The computer falls under the Apple emac screen repair but they will not accept it because it is out of the three year time limit, very frustrating and unfair.
    Well there are Apple Stores and there are Apple stores. Is this the actual store?
    Others have had their eMacs repaire even tho' it was beyond the 3 year limit. You just need to talk to the right person. I've had this done twice.
    I read about an IVAD cable that can be replaced to repair the problem but am not sure if it is relevant to this problem.
    That problem was only on the 700 AFAIK.

  • Dell E228WFP 22" display - Problems connecting to Powerbook 1.67ghz

    Hi All
    I've seen this same issue mentioned in another post elsewhere in the Apple Discussions, but it seems to remain unresolved in that instance...
    I've just bought a 22" Dell E228WFP display to connect to my 1.67ghz Powerbook 17", running OS 10.4.9, as a second display. It's connected with the supplied DVI cable, but continually blanks out while using it. The screen goes black for a second, then reappears.
    This only happens when something moves on either screen - particularly when operating the dock or - most severely - when dragging windows around. It's perfectly fine when sitting unattended, or when I've tested running a game on the Dell screen. The problem only seems to occur when interacting with some interface element...
    This seems to suggest that it's related to the video output from the Powerbook rather than a problem with the display. I don't have another Mac to hook it up to to test it under other conditions unfortunately.
    The display does not exhibit the same problem under self-test mode, nor does switching resolution, colours, mirroring or arrangements make any difference. The pwer light stays on consistently throughout.
    Anyone else ever experienced anything similar?
    Cheers

    Powerbook 1.67ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I've just noticed in another topic that the DVI output from Macs is 'exclusive' to Apple Cinema Displays, and can only be used with third-party display via a DVI - VGA adapter. This would make sense in relation to the other post on this subject elsewhere, where the poster talks about resolving the problem with the VGA adapter, although he thought this indicated the DVI cable was dodgy... I've not seen this issue coming up in any other discussion/post here or elsewhere where various third-party (and Dell) displays are discussed.
    In addition to the circumstances listed above in my earlier post, I've now noticed that the problem is at its worse when viewing a web page with Flash content - constantly updating/changing animations and effects...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

  • Emac 1.42 ghz external display mirroring will it solve dark display problems ?

    I have an emac 1.42 ghz and the display is getting dark I have the contrast turned all the way up and the contrast turned up one notch in the universal access. When the computer is shutdown sometimes when it starts back up it is very dark almost unusable until it warms up or is running for about 20 minutes. Then it is normal. If I use an external monitor on the mini vga port with an apple adapter will it have the same darkness/display problems. I really like this computer but if the external display wont fix the problem I will need to wipe the drive while I still have a useable display

    I'd say it's likely to help using a different monitor.
    I think you could possibly check by doing a Screen Capture, which I believe gets it frm the graphic card, then view that capture on aniher computer, or post it here for us to view.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro sleep and external display problem

    I recently upgraded to the new 2010 15 inch core i7 Macbook Pro. The problem i have is that it will not detect an external display (23inch Cinema) after waking from sleep. This happens after using the display to extend the desktop and also when using the Macbook in closed mode.
    I've managed to get it to detect the display only after either restarting the Macbook completely or by going into energy saver and switching to dedicated graphics then going back to detect display.
    It seems that when on integrated graphics it doesn't register that an external display is connected. If i leave a program open and running that causes the dedicated graphics to kick in then it works ok. If i close all programs, shut the macbook pros lid, computer sleeps and external display shuts off. If i click the mouse to wake with lid closed, apple logo lights, machine starts up few seconds later macbook returns to sleep. If i open the screen the machine wakes as normal but the external monitor doesn't.
    Any help is much appreciated as its starting to frustrate me now...
    Many thanks
    oh and im running OSX 10.6.3

    I thought it was intermittent to begin with until i started looking into it. By leaving programs open, like aperture, before i put the machine to sleep it appears to wake the external monitor up without a problem. If i shut all programs or leave basic things open like safari and mail which don't require the dedicated graphics, then upon wake it wont register an external screen is connected.
    Manually detecting displays in settings doesn't work.
    Disconnecting and reconnecting mini display port doesn't work.
    Turning off power to cinema display and powering back up doesn't work.
    To get the display going again its either 1) turn off macbook pro and re-boot or 2) re-start the machine then the display is automatically recognised. Or 3) launch a programme that kicks in dedicated graphics then manually go in and detect displays again..... like magic the display then springs to life.
    No ideas anyone??

  • My original post, locked by this forum. Display problem related

    Hi G5 Gurus,
    The display problem first, we all know when screen savers display, a click on the mouse will bring you back to the active desktop, this was how it worked., but now, sometimes a click cause the G5 to sleep!
    As for the sleep, I dare not to put it to sleep these days, because I am afriad it may cause a fire by over heating. Sometmes, actually four times in the past few months, my G5 could wake up by itself, followed by a extrem high speed running of the cooling fan, it sounded like a hair dryer running in the same room. Sometimes the sreen could light up, just like real wake up, sometimes, it was black. No clicks the mouse or keyboeard could bring it back to normal, I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
    This crazy problem happened for the first time last summer, a dead hard disk was the cost. Apple replaced it, but failed to detect the cooling or power or display problem. I was given one month extended free service, but right after its end, the problem was back and happened even more often.
    Please let me know if any of you had the same problem and please advise what to do.
    100s Gs of thanks.

    I have the EXACT same problem. In fact, I could not have described it better myself. What gives? I brought it in to the "genius" bar and they repolaced the power supply free of charge but the problem is still there. I noticed they ordered a new logic board but did not end up replacing it after all. Did you have yours replaced and did it work? Is this a known issue?

    Hi La teller,
    Thank you for your reply. The 'genius' here in London only replace the dead hard disk, which I belive was a victim of this problem. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
    Now at lest I know I am not the only bad luck guy. Let's wait and see if others are having the same problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue to Apple, even if it is, it may take years before they can offer a recall or free repaire. I noticed that some G5s have already been suffering from power problems and a free repaire was offered.
    Thank you again and hope Apple can take our concerns into their consideration soon.

    Hello,
    I'm also having this problem (fan running, won't come out of sleep), just spoke with an apple care rep. He confirmed my suspition that it was software, not hardware as I have just had the logic board and power supply replaced.
    His suggestions were to:
    1. Run disk repair from the startup CD
    try running OS X from a firewire drive and see if the same behavior happens or
    perform and archive and install.
    When the fan starts to run like that it means the OS is not communicating with the hardware properly. The OS could be somewhat corrupt if you were having hardware issues beforehand, hence the need for a reinstall. I will be performing an archive and install after the disk repair, I'll let you know if it fixes the problem!

    Hi Stopha6,
    Thank you for your message. I never imagined it could be a software issue, cos it looked so hardware.
    Please keep me updated with your progress.
    By the way, as I said in my old posts, a hard disk went dead when this happened for the very first time, how do you read this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Stopha6,
    After reading your reply again, I realized that the system had already been reinstalled. As I said when it happened for the first time, the hard disk died with it, which was replaced, of course with a new OS X, but the same problem is still happening. May this suggest that it is not just a software problem? Thank you. Songyan

    The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on. The screen-saver and sleep problem you describe sounds like something that may just happen on accident. But this sounds mostly like a software problem. Try making sure to always quit all non-apple products and see if anything changes.

    Thank you, Ag-Nate. I will try as you adivised but I con't think the fans were activeted my intensive CPU using. In most of the cases, the problems happened when the Mac was sleeping, when the minimum CPU were being used.

    "The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on."
    That's only partly right. A hard-working process will make the fans run at high speed, of course.
    But, the OS is in touch with the firmware of the iMac, telling it how to run the fans, based upon information the OS X kernel is getting about the state of the hardware.
    If the firmware loses touch with the OS for some reason, and is not getting instructions on how to run the fan, it will default to running them at full blast, to be on the safe side (and this "full blast" fan mode is way louder than anything you'll generally experience during normal usage, I know from experience).
    So it may not be so simple as a hard-working cpu process kicking the fans on.

    Hi I have a 20" G5 imac it's about 18 months old and I am having the same problem, It freezes and the fan runs really loud. It's nothing to do with software as my I.T. guy has done a complete re-install. All of our admin people have imacs of differring ages and the flat panels are all OK but every one of the G5s has had a booting problem. Some fell into the recall for replacement logic boards but the one I have at home is the newest and doesn't. I'm waiting for my apple reseller to get back to me, but it looks like it's the logic board and as none of the serial numbers fall into the recall, I'm expecting a big bill. I'm really disappointed as I've been a professional apple user for over 15 years and have grown to expect a certain amount of honesty and integrity from them. Looking at all of the discussion boards and the amount of people complaining of the same problem the logic boards are defective and apple should be replacing these free of charge.

    I am having a very similar problem. My G5 imac has already had the logic board replaced from the leaking capacitor problem. 8 mos. later the power supply was replaced under the second recall program when it failed to start up.
    It had been working now for almost a year, when about 3 mos. ago I started to experience the sudden dimming effect - if the display was untouched the screen would dim about 30% similar to a laptop in energy save mode. I checked and none of these types of options were set in the pref panes. At the same time I would have the iMac go to sleep after a while from non-use, and then when I tried to wake it it would stir for a few seconds and then go right back to sleep. It took 2-3 attempts to wake it up.
    Then last week, as I tried to wake it, it just shut down instead completely. I had to hold the power button down to recycle it to get it to come back to life (3 times).
    Today was it - I found what I thought was a sleeping iMac, but it will not power up at all. I opened the back cover and the power supply is working, but I cannot get the board to energize, I reset the PMU, but the #2 LED won't even blink. It is completely dead.
    Basically every time I used this computer I held my breath that it would not work. After 2 recalls I still only get 9 mos. out of it? Apple is really starting to show it is like the "big" computer makers, the quality is going right down the tubes.

  • Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display.  The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom.  And the left side of the content is not visible.  I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct.  I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available.  When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart...  The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7.  The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion.  I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...

    That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.
    The 7950 "Mac Edition" card has a very distinctive look:

  • HT5313 Second Display Problem after Update v10.7.5

    I just updated my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) and the new OS 10.7.5 is not recognizing my second display (VGA connected emachines 19''). I have restarted, changed the resolution, and tried many things, but the display that was working perfectly two hours ago now does not work. Help pls

    Hi There,
    I suggested the solution on the link you refer (to solve this type of problem with gfxCardStatus)... unfortunately this solution did not solve the problem when upgrading to the 10.7.5, namely the new "supplemental update" that was released on the 4th of October (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599).
    Here is a simple procedure I followed and solved the problem for me... this worked by chance after starting following the instructions in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19979833#19979833.
    Restart your machine and, when the machine is in booting press "alt" (left option) to show a booting menu.
    Select "recovery mode" (do this with the external display connected)
    In the recovery mode you can test if the external display is detected (it should work normally)
    Do not do anything in the recovery mode... simply Restart you machine (now in normal mode)
    It should work normally now... (at least it worked for me)
    I think this has to do with a kind of "reset" on the external displays configurations... But I still do not fully understand why this happened.
    I hope this helps some people! Cheers!

  • OO4 character Display Problem

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle OLE objects to connect to Oracle 9.2 DB
    The NLS Language for the Database is AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8ISO8859P6
    the client is using also the same NLS.
    When I retrive the information using OO4 some varchar2(Arabic Language) are return incorrectly from the DB, however when I use ADO on the same clinet it's correctly retrive all Data.
    I've only on home at my PC, and its NLS language is correct, even when I use SQL*Pluse the characters are displayed correctly.
    I also retrieved the NLS_LANG from the application using "SELECT USERENV ('LANGUAGE') FROM DUAL"
    and it was correct using ADO and OO4.
    Of course I've checked the registry value NLS_LANG and it's also AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8ISO8859P6
    Any Help????

    I think after all it is a problem with the either:
    a. OS installer, which should really try to delete fonts which are duplicated by new system fonts
    b. OS which should give precedence to new system fonts over old system fonts where there are two the same, especially when the system fonts are in /System/Library/Fonts and the old ones are in /Library/Fonts
    The major annoyance is that this problem appeared with Leopard and took me hours of searching to figure out its origin - when you don't know if it is a character entry problem (which I thought) or a character display problem (which it turned out to be). In the end the fix was simple - delete the superceded fonts.

The symptom is the bottom third of the screen is solid whit, or solid black, if you press the screen/near the screen just right, it goes back to normal (which makes me think it is the screen). Anybody have a diagnoses?

    You may have better luck posting in the appropriate PowerBook forum.
    It is not to say you won't find help here but this forum is dedicated to displays as connected to a Power mac G5.

  • Display Problem:  black stuff suddenly looks red

    Everything black (objects/graphics/print/cursor) suddenly has a "red tinge" to it. Black parts of graphics almost "glow red.." I don't remember changing any settings, but how can I get rid of the red and back to pure black with no red aura around it.

    Hello vichuboy,
    I understand that the color is wrong on your display.
    Connect an external monitor to the laptop and see if you are having the problem on the external monitor.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • X200s Display problem

    Hi all! I would like to ask for help in diagnosing a display problem in my X200s, model 7470-5GA.
    Attached below are photos of how it looks (white flickering screen). There are times when I boot the laptop and everything appears to be normal and okay until after Windows starts and the problem comes back.
    I've tried connecting it to an external monitor. There is a signal but there is no display on the external.
    I've also tried booting Linux from a USB to check if it's only happening in Windows. The issue persists in 3 Linux distros I've tried.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Finej,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understand that you are facing the issue with Display on your ThinkPad X200s.
    As per the snapshot I am sure it is a hardware issue and it might be with Display screen or with system board. However I request you to confirm this in BIOS mode if the issue persists in BIOS mode also.
    And also connect the external monitor while performing the BIOS boot, to perform the steps you have to keep tapping the F1 key after switching ON the system.
    Hope to hear back soon!
    Best regards,
    Hemanth Kumar

  • PHP MySQL data display problem

    I am having trouble getting data to display on my web page.In Dreamweaver CS3, I created a new page.
    Selected PHP as the type.
    Saved it.
    Connected a database and created a recordset (all using Dreamweavers menus. I did not write any code).
    NOTE: The database is on a remote server.
    The TEST button displayed the records from the recordset with no problem.
    On the new page, I then typed some text.
    Then dragged some fields from the Bindings tab to the page.
    I saved it and then went to preview it in my browser.
    The page comes up completely blank. Not even the text shows.
    I then saved the page as an HTML page.
    When I preview this in my browser, the text shows, but the fields and data do not.
    I then tried creating a dynamic table (again, using the Dreamweaver menus.).
    A similar thing happens, ie. If I save it as an HTML, the text shows and the column labels and border shows, but no data.
    Nothing shows if I save it as a PHP file.
    I can view the data online using files created by PHPMagic, so I know the data is there and retrievable.
    It is just in pages created in Dreamweaver that don’t work.
    What am I doing wrong?

    My web server supports PHP. I can disply PHP pages created by other software packages, just not the Dreamweaver ones.

    Subject: PHP MySQL data display problem
    To view php pages - or pages with PHP code in them - in a browser, the page must be served up by a Web server that supports PHP. You can set up a testing server on your local machine for this purpose. Look for WAMP (Windows), MAMP (Mac), or XXAMP for some easily installed packages.
