Emac Screen problem

I have an issue with an Emac 800MHz. When the computer starts up, the screen is blue but when the desktop loads and the dock appears, the screen reverts to black and white. At this point the screen preference pane shows that colours in thousands are in use and even changing between b/w and colors and between the various colour settings makes no difference - any ideas or help would be welcomed.

Macbeard,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Check System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing tab and make sure you don't have the "white-on-black" or "use grayscale" options checked.
(if you accidentally pressed command-option-control-8, that switches to white-on-black.)

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 Screen Shakes

Hey Guys,
My eMac Screen shakes a little if yo look at a corner. It looks like a vibration. The speaker volume thing doesn't work, neither does resetting nvram or PRAM or even changing the resolution.
What can i do?
Oh, i know a lot about macs, but not displays. Can someone tell me what "refresh rate" means?
(just out of curiosity.)
Thanks.

As you no doubt already know, this is a monitor and not a software issue. Prognosis is not good, though I've been able to prolong the life of my monitor by decreasing the refresh rate from Millions to Thousands. This doesn't stop the problem, but it seems to slow it down.
"Refresh rate" is pretty much how it sounds; a higher refresh rate "paints" the image on the monitor at a faster rate. That's why a lower rate might give your monitor a bit more life. I was able to make a monitor with the shakes last six months longer, though your success may vary.

EMac screen going brown

Hi there.
I have searched this forum trying to find the right answer, but I'm not a hardware guru so I can't really identify my problem. I hope you can help or point me to some relevant posts.
To summarise, over the past few months I have noticed faint brown patches appearing. One of them covers the bottom left handside of the screen and is about 1/3 of the screen size. The other is smaller in the top right handside with an even smaller patch just below the eMac logo at the top. The two largest patches are diagonal and extend to the screen edges. They are present all the time at both start-up and after several hours of the machine running.
As I said, they are very faint, but if I use a blank Keynote presentation or Safari loads a page with a lot of white background, the patches become much more distinct. In general the screen just doesn't seem as crisp as I remember when the eMac was first bought.
The eMac has been used extensively, but not to the point where it is left on 24/7. It has no external speakers and the nearest radio is some distance away in another room.
I have read on here about some eMac's being recalled for display issues but can't find any official notice of this. Mine is a 1Ghz model purchased in 2003. I have also seen in a local computer shop cleaning kits for the internals of CRT monitors. Could the problem be caused by dust and if so how is the best method to remove dust without zapping oneself with a million volts?!
Any help or links would be much appreciated
Regards
Will.

The eMac used to be kept in a conservatory (garden room) which was always relatively cold but until 12 months ago it has been moved into a proper 'indoor' room.
The eMac hasn't had anything new added to it except extra RAM which was added at the start of the year before I was aware of any display problems. The only display related software I have is Teleport but I shouldn't think this would cause screen problems?
The screen hasn't been cleaned with any nasty cleaning agents. If finger prints appear, I use a damp cloth.
Being an environmental guru I do have many energy saving light bulbs, but even as I sit here in the darkness, I can see brown patches.
As far as I'm aware electricity doesn't come into this side of the building, though the eMac sits on the desk directly above the wall socket it plugs into so I might try plugging it in on the other side of the room.
That certainly doesn't sound promising what you quote at the start of your post Mike, but I will look up what nvram means and have a go at resetting it after a thorough backup.
Thanks for your tips.
Will.

My eMac screen goes grey, with a box appearing instructing me to restart my computer. It appears every time we use the machine, sometimes straight after login. Help!

tb8,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Refer to What's a "kernel panic"?. You can examine the /Library/Logs/
panic.log file to get a better idea as to the cause of the kernel panic (if necessary, post the last dozen lines or so for others to offer comments). You may need to do a safe boot (see below) after disconnecting all but the Apple keyboard and mouse to get at the log. If you have access to another Firewire-equipped Mac, you can use FireWire target disk mode to get at the panic log.
A general troubleshooting checklist and references are in Gulliver - kmosx3: MacOS X 10.3: Basic trouble-shooting. As Sherry earlier noted, disconnect all peripherals other than the original Apple keyboard and mouse to isolate the hardware. You can check if third-party add-on software is affecting things by Starting Up in Safe Mode; if that resolves the issue, you'll need to examine what's in /Library/PreferencePanes/ as well as what's listed under Login Items for your account.
If you can't startup in safe mode, you can boot from the OS X Install disk and run Disk Utility> Repair Disk from the Installer menu. If you don't have the Install disk handy, you can start the computer in single-user mode and use the Unix file system check utility fsck. Both procedures are described in Using Disk Utility and fsck.
You can further troubleshoot software issues (once you can get onto the computer) by creating a new troubleshooting administrative account and seeing if the problem disappears, which would indicate a problem with your account preferences. You can use Preferential Treatment to check your account's preferences. If kernel panics recurr when using a particular program, start with the preferences for that program (move the .plist files from /Library/Preferences and/or ~/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences to a holding folder on the desktop and restart or log out/back in, depending on whether the preferences in question are system or user level). Since you're seeing kernel panics shortly after login and not before, a user preference or login item is a likely suspect.
You can use MemTest to check your computer RAM; it's a more exhaustive test than the one built into Apple Hardware Test.
You'll also want to reference the <following User Tips Library links:

"shivering" emac screen

Over the last month my 1 year old 1.25 ghz emac has starting to have a screen problem, wondering if anyone else has come across it. It doesn't happen all the time but it erratically starts to shiver and seems to be getting worse...still have warranty.

I have exactly the same problem.... and I too seemed to have singled it down to when ever the hard drive is being accesed. Although it also happens randomly and when you have loud music playing. I have bought my eMac (same as yours)off eBay, think it has warranty left on it but not sure.
Just wondering if you had got hold of Apple... what they might have said?.... and if you have found any fixes?
Slightly worrying as didn't get any reciepts from the original purchase with it.... AND it was bought in FRANCE!!!
Many Thanks
Andy

How to How to install ATI Radeon HD2600 driver on bootcamp 3.0 windows 7 partition w/black screen problem

Ok....so i've posted this question in a different way, and i gotten several "scratch the surface" answers from people just saying to install "Ati catalyst", or insert the os x dvd and run set up.exe, and update to boot camp 3.1 or 3.2...while these all seem like great suggestions, I am finding myself needing more specific direction or "hand holding" so to speak.....here is the MAIN problem...
The Background/history
I used boot camp (3.0, and i found updates for 3.1 for imac and for windows, but can't find for mac pro, AND they all are ".exe" files which run on windows..which as you'll see is the big part of my problem...So I recently updated my mac pro (with the ATI Radeon HD2600 graphic PCIe card with 10.6.7 from 10.5.8. I created a single partitioned drive to install windows 7 professional 64 bit. The download software function didn't work (Thanks, APPLE for that poor level of support) so have to select the option that i have already downloaded, or have other media with the drivers already on it....i restarted with the windows 7 disk in....
The installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
So the installation of windows 7 seemed to go flawlessly, was able to use my existing 23" hd apple cinema display (so somehow it has drivers that work with the graphics card, or maybe the motherboard's on board video components) and i select english, and install now, custom, blah, blah, blah...installation causes a few reboots, then restarts ultimately back in os x since that is the default boot os i use on this desk top and have to do the "opt" button to select booting in windows....so when i try restarting in windows, now using the actual boot drive on which i am installing it, it ran through another reboot or two, but then after that, my display goes black.... in the communities, the solution sounds super simple... "go download the ATI catalyst for the black screen problem....windows 7 doesn't have device drivers that work with the ATI radeon hd2600...no problem, just go download and install...."
The problem, re-emphasized : I cannot even finish the install for windows, because of this driver problem....i cannot see anything....I have tried to reboot in safe mode, and that then seems to invoke whatever basic drivers that do work, likely through the motherboards onboard video vs the actual graphic card, and the screen works and says that it's wanting to complete the installation, so i'm thinking awesome this is gonna work....and then.. "windows installation was not completed and cannot be completed in SAFE MODE, need to restart, blah, blah, blah" pops up...and forces reboot...so Safe Mode allows me to see, but won't allow me to finish the install of windows 7...and without completing the install i can't run (ranther I DONT KNOW HOW TO) any of the various .exe files everyone is telling me are the solutions to my problem...like update 3.1 and 3.2 bootcamp...they're all .exe files? not sure why, because bootcamp runs in 10.6.7 i thought, but whatever...it needs running Windows to execute...then the ATI radeon hd2600 driver for windows 7 that i downloaded from the site has an installation program that is an .exe file, which needs windows to run... Does this make sense, why i can't just use these fixes, that seem to be the only fixes out there....so can someone school me step by step here (not just the highlights) of how to update bootcamp, and how to install the ati radeon driver without having been able to complete the windows 7 installation because the monitor goes and stays black????
This is so very frustrating for the record...and any substantial help "not just go download this..." would be immensely appreciated.
Some other things i've been told to try that i've tried and nothing seems to happen as i'm told it will....
---I've been told to install the osx dvd and run "setup.exe" - AGAIN...it's an exe file...and 2 - when i put in the os x file it just wants to re install 10.6...so need more help if this is even a real solution to understand how to make it work...
---I've been told to update boot camp to 3.1 and/or 3.2 from 3.0, using Apple Software Update....Well, my software update is saying everything is up to date and there is nothing new to download at all, and when i reverify the bootcamp version it is still only 3.0.2...and again downloading the updates from www.apple.com/support/ for 3.1 and 3.2...all of those are .exe files...need windows to run them...again, refer to the problem described in detail above...
---I've been referred to the black screen on imac early 2011 thread saying it should fix my problem...and reading it it SEEMED like the most promising resolution...it involves creating a boot flash drive for windows 7 and an xml file that sets the imac drivers to auto install during the windows installation..and it got me farther than anything else..but still ultimately ended up in the darned black screen...my assumption is that it's because it's for imac and not mac pro so not ati-radeon specific drivers....ok....that's enough..please...anyone who thinks they can help...your help is desperately needed...thanks so much in advance!

hey Hatter, thanks so much for getting back...so just to be super clear...is there no way to install the drivers using an exe file given my current state? no way to do it with command prompt or something? if can make work with existing card, i'd prefer it...now when you say it's 'toast' how do you mean? it works well with the os x partitions and always has...so i'm not sure i follow, just want to be clear...
Now to your point of starting with only the one drive installed...so i would put that bootcamp drive in bay 1 and disconnect the rest...i'm not totally sure what you're suggesting the effect should be of doing this? just that i'm just installing windows without the bootcamp deal...but if windows 7 doesn't support the ati radeon hd2600, it still will go black screen no? or you're saying it will run video through the motherboard if it's the only bootdrive, and will run all the way through the windows install without trying to switch over to the hd2600? (slrry flr these questions..just really want to make sure i understand what you're telling me..thanks so much for your patience and help by the way...it's very greatly appreciated...your support is priceless!
So now, assuming none of the above is possible...referring now to the ati 5770 that you referred to...you mention it works with 10.6 well, and that windows 7 supports it ...2 questions on that
1) Windows 7 supports" meaning, out of the box windows 7 supports it? or will i have to install drivers still through some update, because again, if that's how i have to do it, then won't work, cuz can't start windows to see anything to install any drivers or run any thing at all...so it would have to just work with initial installation.
2)hardware wise for my Mac Pro 3,1...intel dual quad core xeon, blah blah....will this card work? it's a PCIe and should fit on my board no prob, etc?

Trying to update OS to fix White Screen problem.

Hello, I have had my Blackberry 8520 on a Virgin contract for about a year and a half now. Recently it has started randomly just changing to a black white screen that won't allow me to turn it off or perform any functions. The way I temporarily fix this is to plug it into the charger which acts like a reboot and brings it back to normal (pulling the battery to reboot it just restores the white screen after loading). In trying to find the resolve to this problem, which I haven't yet, I rang the Virgin helpline who told me to update my OS. I currently have the version 5.0 Bundle 1096 and I am trying to update it to the 5.0 Bundle 1168. I have been having increasing problems with trying to do this. I updated my desktop software for Blackberry but updating through this software always brings up the message at the install stage (after backing up my data) - "An error has occured while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." My internet is working fine and I have tried many times to update through this way. I have also tried updating through the blackberry website "web based updates area" that brings up the same message. Looking through over message boards, I tried the attempt at updating through the LOADER.EXE way. However after trying to download the OS manually to my computer, which my internet explorer thought was dangerous, it came up after with another error message - "Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error from reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.' I am now out of ways to try and update my Blackberry and have no idea how to solve the white screen problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Karen x

Just to specify the final type of the updating I tried was following the instructions on this links - http://us.blackberry.com/support/apps-and-software/desktop-and-device-download-sites.html I choose Europe, Virgin Media, Blackberry curve 8520. I got the software on to my computer and the error message that came up, appeared after choosing language and agreeing to the terms and conditions and starting the installation. Sorry about the big clump of writing; the post removed all of my paragraphs when I posted it. New to this! And need help! Thanks x

Screen problem making iPad unusable

My iPad2 is 15 month old and has developed a strange screen problem. It seems to have developed a mind of its own, typing ahead with random characters, doing its own thing when scrolling and trying to select in apps. Two days ago Apple support said restore to factory settings which I did. Same problem came back. Yesterday Apple support said the same thing which again I did. Same problem came back Today Apple support say it's a hardware issue out of warranty. We had a polite discussion about EU legislation but to cut a long story short, they basically said "sorry about that, but there is nothing our policies will let us do, you're on your own"
Not exactly the response I hoped for. So I've now got an iPad that is basically useless, unless I want to use it as a door stopper.
My business made a strategic commitmnt to Apple in Mid 2011 and this iPad was part of our shift away from PC/Windows. It's the first time I have needed to deal with Apple Support, and while each of the people I have spoken to have been professional, understanding and helpful, they have been unable / not allowed to assist any further.
Yes, we could have taken out Apple Care Agreements. We chose not to on the basis of 2 year statutory warranty and Apple's reputatiuon for reliability. Seems I made a big mistake here and am left wondering if we made the right decision in going down the Apple route. Our investment in Apple hardware and software is massive for an SME and our workflow depends on iPads.
I'm left with a problem. Thanks Apple.
I'm still a fan but my blinkers have been removed. No longer will you be giveen the benefit of the doubt when you screw up - Maps, WiFi etc - as you have had a direct and negative impact on my business and missed a chance to keep a very happy customer on board.
Does it help to post this? Not really, but it's off my chest.

And you are within your "rights" to post this. But you do realize that we are not Apple employees - correct? We are just other users like yourself. If you feel that you have been treated unjustly, move up the Apple chain of command. Politely demand to speak to the next higher up and go from there.

Screen problems with photoshop elements 10

I installed Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements.
Premiere Elements works allright, but Photoshop E 10 gives screen problems.
De menu's on the top roll out, but there is no text in them.
The screen in Organiser is distorted.
I reinstalled P E 10 but the same problem accurs.
I dit a computer reset to an earlier date and installed Ph.E. 10 again but the same problem. No text in the topmenus and a distorted screen in Organiser.
Letters become 6x larger than normal.
All my other programms work fine. I never had screenproblems.
I use Elements 8 now again and that works fine.
I use: Windows 7
Card: NVIDEA GeForce GT 220 resolution 1680x1050
Do I have to remove Elements 8 before installing Ellements 10? Is that perhaps the problem?

Ken, The problem is: The buttons don't work. So I cannot use Edit...
But:
I reïnstalled Adobe Elements 10 for the 4th time
Cleaned my register again.
restarted my computer
Did a computer reset to an earlier date
Installed Elements 10 again but .......not the try version of Premiere Elements.
Now Elements 10 has a normal screen.
This was a try and error sollution. I hope it will last.

I ended up calling Apple Support twice. After first time when we checked drives etc, the second time they said we had done everything and it must be a hardware issue. It had to have a logic board replaced.

Apple macbook pro with retina display is having yellow screen problems in which screen is not perfectly white and is yellowish. More over the service frm apple's part is ridiculous as they have faulty spare part. Does ne1 hv email of senior person?

Apple macbook pro with retina display is having yellow screen problems in which screen is not perfectly white and is yellowish. More over the service frm apple's part is ridiculous as they have faulty spare part. Does ne1 hv email of senior person?

Apple service centre employee told me that they do not have this 14 day offer in India.
And My mac book pro is taken in by Service centre people to run test etc and I will be informed the next day if they accept it as a fault or not ?
I feeling ridiculously bad.

IMac G5 Graphic Card Replacement for blue screen problem

When I turn on iMac, I only see blue screen, the apple technician said Need to replace graphic card, Nvidia Gforce 7600GT 256.
1, can it install in IMac? Seem like it work for PC?
2, I had blue screen problem several time, I think I turn on iMac too long, so it burn out graphic card.
3, I have 2007 G5 24" screen model, is any durable and afford graphic card you recommend?
Where to buy for cheaper price?
Do I need to change mother board?
4, can I replace it by myself? Any picture or video for graphic card replacement?
Thank you.

If you look around, you might be able to find someone who will replace just the chip on the graphics card, which is what usually fails. It will take someone highly skilled; they really have to know what they're doing--it's not an ordinary soldering job.
Here's someone who found a non-Apple service to do this, and it proved to be far less expensive than a full logic board replacement. But I think this was in the UK.

Chrome White Screen Problem

Hi,
Thanks for reading - I really don't know where to go with this problem. I have searched and googled but can't seem to find a good answer. Problem is intermittant but applicable specifically to chrome browser loading the site I am developing.
http://www.caitlinmaloneystudio.com/
Should bring up a login when you go to that site. However in Chrome It seems to be loading something and then I just get a blank white screen. Sometimes it loads but if you then hit refresh it will bring you to a blank white screen instead of reloading.
Also interestingly if you are staring at the white screen, if you double click, click drag click around alot on the page it will come up kind of like its there but not being displayed.
this problem only displayed in Chrome -- IE, Firefox, safarii etc. all OK.
any ideas welcome. Perhaps my HTML is bad? I can't believe that because when I use the raw-HTML output from a publish in CS5 It is still giving me this behavior? Also others have had this problem with my site so it isn't just my browser/computer combo.
What can I do?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Tom

Just incase someone else is having this problem. The solution is to use Javascript option to do your loading of SWF. For example I was just using a flat <object> embeded in HTML which was giving me problems. You can check "check Flash player version" under HTML publish options and this changes the output to a javascript version, which depends on swfobject.js (generated by flash). Using this mode, I now no longer have this white screen problem.
Cheers!

Screen problem on iPad3

I have a screen problem with my iPad3. Something has caused the screen to get extremely bright and all the colors to appear wrong. It's as if they have all reversed. I have both restarted and reset it a number of times but it won't correct. All apps have been closed out completely. Operating system is 6.1. This has happened twice in the past but a reset corrected it. I have no idea what might have caused this either time. Any ideas for help would be appreciated.
