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.

  • 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 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.

  • Negative eMac Display

    Our school has four eMacs. One of them, a 1GHz, 10.3.9 Panther, 256 MB RAM, and out of warranty, has started to have a display problem. The display is showing negative colours, like white shows as black, blue shows as orange etc. This only affects our Student account, the Teacher account and Administrator accounts are just fine. Can anyone help me? I would hate to have to tell someone to take the entire machine to the Yorkdale Store to get it fixed, as it is a long drive away. Thank you for responding to this issue.

    I just had this exact thing happen to my eMac last night. Im at work, so I'll post a follow up later when I get home. This started right after I started remotely controlling the Mac via Chicken-of-the-VNC in full screen mode from my powerbook (the eMac is in the basement). I bet anything that the key combo to toggle in/out of VNC fullscreen also sets some of the options mentioned to change the display.
    Thanks for the info, I'll post a follow up.

  • 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.

    Kensall,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    As in the other thread I wrote:
    Being from England, you may find the repair program under these pages:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/
    Check both of them as they refer to different models.
    If neither of yours is under the program, please start a new topic thread so someone can help you.
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=881
    First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

    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.

  • Why is netflix having display problems on my macbook pro... HDCP compliance?

    Watching Netflix and all of a sudden it says "Display Problems"  Make sure your monitor is HDCP Compliant and is not setup for mirror airplay??

    The issue is from Safari defaulting to HTML5 vs using Silverlight like it did in Mavericks.
    So the options are, if you want to use Safari goto your Netflix account, playback preferences and turn off HTML5. This will revert to Silverlight and will AirPlay fine*in Safari.
    If you want to use HTML5, just leave the setting for HTML5 on in Netflix and use Chrome, Firefox, etc.
    You can't currently have both Safari and HTML5 Netflix when using AirPlay. You'd think Safari would be a little bit more powerful with Apples stances on browser extensions.

  • Windows 7 64 bit on iMac display problems and instability

    I received my iMac 27" quad core with 8 gig ram & 2 x 1 TB hard drives last Friday. I'm using Boot Camp to run windows 7 64 bit on maximum 2560 x 1440 screen resolution.
    I get intermittent but often display problems in windows 7. I get areas of the screen covered in little yellow dots or blue squares (never red artefacts.) This will happen at random areas of the screen, inside an open window, around borders of windows and so on. Most often the screen will go black and come back with a message in the bottom right corner of the screen saying 'Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered' with the sub message saying 'display driver ATI radeon family stopped....etc'. Sometimes I lose the screen wallpaper. Once I've had the system just shut down, once I've had Photoshop seize up and I had to do a cold reboot. Could this be an overheating problem or resolution too high problem or driver problem? Windows 7 tells me my drivers are up to date. I tried installing the drivers for the card from ATI's website which made no difference
    The reason I bought a Mac is because it's the only effective way to code for the Mac family of OS's in XCode. The reason I didn't just attach a miniMac to my PC monitor was because there's rather a lot of advertising by Apple about the fact that you can use a Mac with a PC OS via Apple's own Boot Camp. Now I have a lot of Windows software (some of which is not available for the Mac or requires buying again) sitting on an unstable system. Any ideas would be much appreciated...

    Sorry, that thread got moved for edit and as a user tip... which I didn't want and won't be doing....
    Here is the post:
    A tip and workaround for how to get ATI mobility/laptop drivers so that Windows no longer thinks the ATI is a desktop card:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11286987
    Summary (my own edit steps):
    1. Install Boot Camp 3.0 and upgrade to 3.1
    2. Uninstall graphic drivers and run Driver Sweeper
    http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/
    instead of:
    removing the crashing driver by going into windows 7 setup via its install cd and deleting the ati driver manaully
    3. Install ATI Mobility (link)
    4. Uninstall ATI (Programs control panel?) Device Manager (rollback; uninstall?)
    5. Device Nanager: update driver and BROWSE BACK to 8.681 (the original apple driver that was causing freezes and purple artifacts) - navigate to /Apple/Drivers/ATI
    (Apple uses) a 4850 card in the iMac, its modified a bit for apple. Enough that desktop drivers don't work, and modded-for-laptop desktop drivers don't work either.
    Now the upshot of using modified drivers is that it FORCES the catalyst control panel to be installed, meaning you get a few more options to mess around with the card.
    I couldn't use the original apple drive, it locks up, the newer one had banding, the newer radeon drivers direct form ATI wouldn't work until they were modded and then they cause black screens.
    SO the solution, as obscure as it was, was to download ACTUAL mobility Radeon drivers - version 10.3 still, but made for laptops.
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
    THESE drivers I was able to install - and here is where things changed.
    THIS driver changed they way windows saw the video card in device manager.
    As I mentioned before, its NOT a desktop card, its a modified laptop card, but installing mac drivers makes windows THINK its a full desktop card, and running the original 8.681 driver crashed it.
    Once installed 10.3 LAPTOP driver it now appeared in device manager as a MOBILITY card.
    +These Steps "should" work:+
    delete ATI driver manually
    reinstall apple driver after that and see if that works,
    otherwise try the steps above
    (mod drivers, remove via windows recovery off setup disk, install laptop drivers, reinstall apple driver over it)

  • Display problem in macbook pro 13

    I have been facing a display problem in my macbook pro (mid 2010, 13 inch) for more than six month. I talked to many persons from applecare and conformed to their advice. but the problem remains same. I went to apple authorised service provider at least 8 times. they changed my logic board, RAM etc. the problem remains same.
    finally, I talked to applecare again. they adviced me to run fresh Lion installation and observe the machine without any thridd party software. I got the same problem.
    when I call them, every person attending the call advices me new thing ! they are very polite and say: "if you have this problem again, please inform me." unfortunately, when I write them again about the same problem they do not care it !!!
    I am very much frustated and psychologically tired with this issue.
    Thanks a lot for your assistance.

    I can only do wild guesses at this popint, only thing I can think of on your end is possible AC power problems, but I've not been impressed with Apple's quality since the 68K or Beige days.
    THe iMac7,1 I'm on now needed repair 3 times & still scares me with it's PSU temps.

  • Display problem- Missing letters

    Hello there,
    I had a display problem with my 15" mac book pro. Sometimes the words on the menu bar will have missing letters. For example, F le Ed t Vi w and etc. This does not only happen in the main interface, it also occurs when I'm browsing websites (the contents have missing letters too)or open other applications(iphoto, imovie) The problem is getting worse these days, I 'll have to restart my computer every single time when it happens.
    Does anyone have any solution to this technical issue?
    Thank you very much,

    I tried IVMichael's suggestion above and had no joy, but when i restarted i found a file called /Users/your_name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServicesQuartantined
    after deleting that and restarting i seem to have solved the problem.

  • IBook G4 Display Problem

    I am having a display problem that looks exactly like the video link below:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFzfdq3xMrI
    What could be the cause of the problem?
    Some possibilities:
    If the display cable, how can this be replaced without taking the whole thing apart - is there a simpler way?
    If a video card heatsink problem, is this an easy fix?
    Many Thanks.

    This appears to be a continuation of an issue you noted in September, as the
    display had some problems then and after trying a few things, it seemed to be
    stable at the time.
    Perhaps the components involved with the iBook then are behind this problem.
    Does not seem any easy path could be available to fix the problem, since the
    parts most likely to be affecting or contributing to the symptom are deep enough
    into the computer to require tedious disassembly effort. And odd screw locations.
    Looking into the iFixit guide for iBook G4 12" 800MHz to 1.2GHz series build:
    https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iBook_G4_12%22_800_MHz-1.2_GHz these
    items may be weak or failing: the inverter, inverter/airport cables, and there
    may be an indirect issue with the data display cable as they get bent & can
    fail. The rolling & flickering image may be the inverter, but there are a few
    components that essentially are not replaceable on the logic board that can
    be the cause of display failure when these other items have not failed.
    And a failing graphic processor or overheating may be contributory causes to
    the symptoms. A complete diagnostic test, probably beyond most AASPs interest
    may be required to troubleshoot the device accurately. So many don't want to fix
    the older hardware, perhaps they're fearful of someone not willing to pay a lot to
    have an older machine repaired. Hard to say...
    You may need to enlist the aid of a specialist who restores and refurbishes
    Apple portable computers and who has sufficient facilities to repair almost
    everything in most any of these computer models... wegenermedia.com.
    Since they have devised methods to fix these correctly & more efficiently
    that may be a way to go. To call them &/or email after looking at their web
    site can be helpful to discuss the matter and their processes of repair, etc.
    Sorry to not be of much help, but in the process of locating correct service
    and repair, you may also consider obtaining a second iBook or something
    that can run the software of that vintage, to extend the usefulness of it.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Display problems of UML diagrams

    Hi,
    I'm using UML class diagrams for a code generation, rev.eng. project etc.
    I experience display problems, the classes sometimes are not displayed correctly, or don't show up at all, after I changed something in the model.
    The classes have the package as background.
    My guess is a partly incorrect drawing order (from back to top).
    When I move the slidebar, or enforce a refresh by clicking the package,
    everything is drawn from scratch on, and therefore correct then.
    Project size: 50+ classes
    My first guess was to blame the system, but I'm having the same problems
    on a different computer.
    Thus, please also state if you have experienced the same problem.
    Gets a bit annoying over the time, when doing serious work.
    Greets

    This is a known issue with redrawing/repainting when the elements are containing the container, eg, package. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • MacBook Pro and Cintiq 12UX display problems?

    Hi,


    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so I'm sorry if it isn't - this is just the only place I could think of to ask about a display problem?
    I’ve just got the new model Cintiq 21UX, and I’m running it off one of the newer model MacBook Pro’s (using Apples adapter to connect the two).
    Everything seems to be working fine, although on the Cintiq’s screen I get flickering green pixels in darker areas of the screen? The confusing thing is it doesn’t happen all the time, it just seems to be the one particular ‘shade’ of dark grey/dark tones it happens on - an example is if I move an image around then its the same area of colour it has problems with across the screen, or if I zoom in the effected area gets bigger etc. I can also edit the colour to a slightly different shade and the problem stops so it can’t be a dead/frozen pixel. If I turn on the mirror display option it is still only the Cintiq display that is effected.
    I currently run the MacBook using the Nvidia 9600M GT, I did try switching to the 9400M but it made the situation a lot worse and caused green pixels lines to flash horizontally across the screen.
    I can save the image or drag the window that the problems happening on and drag it back to the MacBooks’ screen and there is no problem with the pixels there - it’s only on the Cintiq display.
    I was just wondering if this is either a fault with the Cintiq tablet itself, or possibly a problem with the MacBook?
    If it’s useful the spec of the MacBook is:

    Late 2008 unibody 15.4”
    Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard
    2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & 9400M
    I’m not sure what other spec would be of use but if theres more I can let you know.
    Any help would be appreciated, as it works fine other than this occational green flicker, and it’ll cost me a lot to send of either the Cintiq or the MacBook off for a service or replacement in the UK?
    Cheers!

    It could just be bad. Do you have another computer to try it with?

  • Graphics display problems (dialog boxes) Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1

    Graphics display problems Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 Greetings to all. After having spent a number of days trying to find a solution to a display problem, I turn to this forum for help. I own a Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 ever since November 2014, and have had display problems ever since the first day, be it while using internet (Firefox or Explorer) or various software (Text editors, etc.). Many dialog boxes, including colour settings and controls (open, close etc.) either have an inappropriate appearance or even do not appear at all! I manage to "click" on the right places using memory: most areas are INVISIBLE! Another example would be that I do not see any backround colour or image on most webpages such as this one).  Some suggestions included checking for graphics updates (but the drivers used were already up-to-date).  I 'd be most obliged for any new suggestions. Thank you very much. George

    Greetings to all, I finally decided to express my utmost discontent with- the Lenovo G50-45 I bought before Christmas 2014,- the summary response with inappropriate links that I received after exposing  my problem- the fact that I tried to dowload the following graphics driver  (Beema) AMD Driver (VGA, HDAudio, SATA) for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
    exe
    526 MB
    Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
    VGA V14.502.1002.1002-Logo'd_HDAudio v9.0.0.9905_SATA v1.3.1.220;VGA v13.302.1601.1001_HDAudio v9.0.0.9905_SATA v1.3.1.220
    3/19/2015from here(http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-45-notebook-lenovo/downloads/DS100174), and after REFUSING to accept cookies and some "Lenovo Service Bridge", finally managed to obtain something  HERE(http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-G50-45-Notebook-Review-Update.125641.0.html).  I find it quite disrespectful to NOT provide customers with EASY support, as well as avoiding to  answer their requests for further help when some simplistic "assistance" that one can find almost anywhere on the web leads to no further solution. I shall not repeat the problems I have faced till now: vide supra. The problem, however,  is NOT just with browsers.I simply cannot see any dialog box content and colour in MANY software programs, such as OPEN OFFICE; for instance:  PRESENTATION colour dialog boxes show BLANK squares instead of squares filled with different colours. This has occured AVER SINCE DAY ONE! Finally, a new bug has appeared: Windows 8.1 keeps popping up some email program to which I am invited to register - I never created a Windows email account, and certainly don't intend to do so.NOR shall I accept some "Lenovo Service Bridge", however "discreet and inoffensive" it might be. I don't know if there are any legal grounds for customers to complain for all these problems. I DO know, however, that I shall NEVER buy a LENOVO device ever again. The pricing and processor might be competitive => yet,  the support that ensues is, as far as I'm concerned, LAMENTABLE. To make a presentation, I have to switch to a Samsung R20 using XP..... What is the meaning of all this? George
