Glitches and artifacts on my screen

Hello there,
1. i'm having a small issue with my macbook. I've latest Leopard with all recent possible updates. Bellow i'm posting few pictures of artifacts that i'm talking about. in such cases it is likely to say it is ram/vram issue.. but the thing is it's happening all the time in the same places on my screen.
http://img30.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=zrzut1.png
It's happening in Firefox, in context menus.. In flash spots on pages that are currently rendered there are stripes after object moves.. on html sites there are horizontal stripes left on pictures, these stripes are there beacuse of browser edge, of tabs belt edge... kind of refreshing issue?
2.how to reinstall Safari on Snow Leopard? Im having some problems so i'd like to reinstall it but after downloading it from Apple.com it says i'm having wrong system version.. On page there is a note that it is for Tiger and Leopard, so where download it for Snow Leopard?

I also need to say that it seems that problem touches something more general.. to be specific - even if i click on random menu, from top bar, let say now "firefox" there is a drop-down menu (context menu) which is rounded in Mac OS, and if i look closer, rounded corners are filled with white.. so it's the same effect as i attached previously, clicking on any icon in the doc.. there is more white, here just a little bit.. but it's some system issue i guess..
Next week i'm going to reinstall system.. while buying Macbook i thought it's not gonna happen i'm rather an advanced user so.. maybe it's a matter of 3rd party software... i installed office, parallels with XP, lot of apps, but the problem appeared suddenly..

IMac 27" (late 2012) GTX 680 MX, glitch and artifacts on the screen.

Hello.
I have a one year old iMac 27" (Late 2012) i7, 8Gb RAM, GTX 680MX, 1TB Fusion drive. I was working at the computer and was away for two hours. When I woke my iMac from sleep mode on the screen appeared glitch and artifacts.

That could happen? This is a GPU problem? Or software?
I am very sad.
It happened a month later after my 1 year warranty expired.

Kernel panic and artifacts on the screen

Hello everyone!
I'm having kernel panic on my 2006 24" iMac A1200.
Also, there's small artifacts (little colored dots) on the screen. Can I assume that this is a GPU problem? Maybe GPU and Logicboard?
If it's the GPU, is it easily replaceable?
THese are the screens with the kernel panic message and artifacts

Greetings mig_akira,
It seems your Mac is suffering from kernel panics, and video distortion. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your Mac needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

IPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???

iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini. It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive. This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?) all to no avail.
I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
SO - any suggestions:
1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
Cheers,
Todd

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Hi guys.
I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it.
I don't think I can access my disk anymore as I've moved across countries since I've first gotten my laptop. it was working perfectly fine before it kept going to the dark grey screen with a little blue on the bottom.
If it helps, my camera light is still on, and it seems that my computer is working properly itself, but won't go past this grey screen.
I'm a college student and am really panicking about this - can anyone please tell me what to do?
Thank you & sorry for the long post.

What operating system are you running on it? (iOS 5.1 is for iPhone, iPad...not a Mac).

Problems with iMac retina 5K (artifacts, glitches and etc.)

Hello dear Apple.
I have bought new iMac with retina 5K display and I have found lot of problem with it. It was December 2014 when I got my first iMac. And after then I have found few real problems with it.
The first problem is I can't open high resolution image with standard Preview.app. I mean 'high resolution' - more then 30-40 megapixels. When I open them, I can see image, but only 2-3 seconds, and after that I see horizontal artifacts only. I can't open images, like this Rembrandt.jpg; Carpaccio.jpg; Holbein.jpg
The second problem, when I change resolution in to scaled mode (System Preferences/Display) for increase image on display. I found when select some area on background of desktop it has left some lines after itself. It is particularly unpleasant if you have plain colour desktop background. You can view, how does it look here.
The next problem with animation in different parts of interface, e.g. sometimes when I open Time Machine some parts of windows are freezing or appear some artifacts or glitches near borders of window. And I have the same situation, when I open Mission Control, or any Adobe app or other, or simply rename a files. I have found few discussions with problems like mine, but in the separate places
5K iMac - bad GPUs?
Graphic Problems with Retina iMac
iMac 5K and indesign glitch
And after that I want to tell you that I have this problems on four (4) iMacs. It was really difficult to arrange four replace. I have lost a lot of time an spent a lot of nerves for discuss and resolve my problems with Apple support. Finally, they told me that they do not know about problems with iMacs, and they could offer give my money back. I glad to get my funds, but now in my country price for iMacs has doubled. And if they refund my money, I can buy half new iMac only.
I am sorry for my language and style, but I do not know what I should doing with that. And should I hope, that my problem resolve with OS X updates? Or it is hardware problem of the whole iMacs 5K...

Yes Ralph, absolutely correct, 4 times. Do you have the graphic card the same as me, or m290? Could I ask you check your iMac for few things, please?
For the first, can you enlarge scale in System preference/Display and install plain dark color desktop background. Are there any footprints after rectangular selection like in my video https://youtu.be/dBglFvjJx1Q?
And for the second, could you download this image https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Rembrandt_Harmensz._van_Rijn _-_Nachtwacht_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg and open in plain Preview.app, and zoom it? Are there any glitches?
Thank forward.

13" MBP Screen glitches and computer freezes when I hold it wrong...

Sorry for the newbie question. I just got my MBP and ordered the Kingston 8gb deal on buy.com last week. After install I noticed if I pick up the computer and hold it on the right hand side almost underneath the option button, the screen glitches and turns into a bunch of colored lines then crashes. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off then restart. I kind of feel a little bit of give at that area...is that a known issue or does it have anything to do with the new 3rd party ram? Please help!

Hi c,

I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
While downloading click the download icon at the top right and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

Major Problem With Black Screens, Restarts, and Artifacts.

1. HP m7790y
2. Vista 32-bit
3. No error messages or BSOD.
4. No changes were recently made.
For about a month now, sometimes my computer will display a bunch of artifacts on the screen and the visuals won't change, but I think my mouse and keyboard still work. I can do CTRL + ALT + DELETE and that screen pops up with no artifacts, but as soon as I get out of it, the artifacts come back and the escape sequence doesn't work again. If I have a video going or music, I can still hear it for a bit, but then it gets screwed up. Then my computer does something that is like shutting off, but it isn't. The GPU's fan stops going, the screen goes black, and only the power light on my pc is on. Most of the time I have to push in the power button, and then turn it back on again. Sometimes it restarts on its own, and displays a screen asking me how I want to start up.
I've used the HP Hardware Diagnostic Tools and tested everything, but there were no errors for anything. I can even play video games for long periods of time just fine (Rome: Total War, The Walking Dead, Mass Effect 3, Company of Heroes). If the problem is going to happen, it happens within the first 5-10 minutes of me having the computer on. I've even used Furmark with stress tests and there are no problems.
This question was solved.

Hello mpthemaster,
The issue you are experiencing is related to the video card, but we need to figure out if the problem lies within the hardware or the software.
Software is the easiest to rule out so let's start there. Your video card has drivers installed on the computer we need to uninstall the drivers that are there and reinstall new drivers to see if the issue goes away.
1. Navigate to the link below and download the drivers for your video card do not install just yet
http://goo.gl/dBmyj
2. Click on start and then type "Device Manager" in the start search box (without the quotes)
3. Open Device Manager and expand the display adapters section
4. Right click on your video card driver and say uninstall
5. Press the win key the right arrow twice and the letter R and your computer should reboot
6. After it reboots Windows will load a generic driver for the video card
This may or may not work. If everything on the computer looks fine (things are not blown up out of proportion and you are able to adjust settings) see if the issue comes back.
If the issue comes back or the generic drivers didn't allow you to use the monitor properly then install the link you downloaded earlier and again test to see if the artifacts come back.
The computer you have comes with a choice in video cards. Which video card do you have installed? Does it sound loud?
While you are at you might as well clean out your computer and make sure it's not dirty or dusty. Check all your fans and ensure each are in working condition and there is adequate air flow for the machine. Especially check the fan on the GPU and make sure it's not dirty or getting clogged.

Need help with Leopard: screen saver glitch and very slow internet

I performed an erase and install leopard 10.5.1 on my upgraded G4 AGP Sawtooth Computer several times. Has anyone had the following 2 problems with leopard and any suggestions to solve them? Apple telephone support has not helped thus far. The Issues include:
1-Internet surfing (Safari and Firefox) is extremely slow worse than dial-up. I have verizon fios. Upgrading leopard to 10.5.3 and upgrading Safari did not help and took about 10 hours to download when it should have been quick.
2- A screen saver glitch: When I click on screen saver such as beach I get this message. " Screen saver "beach" did not load properly. Error Can't load bundle" When I click on the screen savers folder, there is nothing in it. Desktop pictures work fine.
Computer upgrades include:
Processor-OWC Mercury Extreme [email protected] 2MB L3 Cache
2GB memory
Two 120GB hardrives.
Firmware is updated.
Thus far, all this was done:
Apple exchanged install disk. Same results with new disk.
I ran disk utility and everything is ok including permissions.
I performed a safe boot with apple support.
I Threw away cache folder and com.apple.safari.plist
Tried firefox with same very slow surfing results.
I even checked file system structure problem fsck -yf. Everything was ok
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Althought the behavior is the same in all three accounts, if all are working accounts I would suspect there is something all of them have installed that could be the source of the problem. Try creating a new admin account, and leave it just the way Apple creates it--don't add anything nor modify it in any way. Log into that account and see if it works correctly.
If that account is also misbehaving, try restarting, and when you hear the chime hold down the Shift key so that you boot into Safe Mode (you'll see a notice in the splash screen about being in Safe Mode). The boot will take longer (perhaps even considerably longer) as the system runs disk repair, empties some caches, disables all third party startup items, as well as all Apple startup items not strictly necessary for the machine to run. See the menus and Dock now behave correctly.
Since the problem is evidently somewhat intermittent in nature it may take some patience to discover what is wrong. You might also disconnect everything that didn't come with the Mac, reboot, and use only the Apple keyboard and Apple mouse and run for a bit to see how that works. If you are using a third party mouse that required installing something that would be my guess as a "prime suspect" for the cause of the problems.

Odd display artifacts, glitch, and freeze

For the past month, upon starting up my computer after having traveled with it my screen began to glitch, fade, show mutiple colors or go gray to the point of being beyond recognition. I took it to an apple store and they told me that flexing the screen would solve the problem because it was problem with a connection to the panel. This worked for a week or so, but now often upon starting my screen goes gray, flickers, gets glitched, and shows a gray text box that tells me I need to restart. Restart does not help.
The interesting part however, is that if I hold down the option key while starting to select between OSX or Windows, all of the problems go away. I can start up in osx, no problem. I really have no idea what's going on. Any help would be much appreciated!

Updated my computer info at the bottom :P

Macbook pro early 2011 - overheat and crash with blue screen and glitches

Hi
since last wednesday my MBP has started to freeze and then crash with bluescreen, glitches and so on...
Most of the time doesnt not restart with any command as is overheating as well.
I did a clean installation on friday night and i am now running mavericks and then again on sunday it start with all the above issue. At the moment i am able to restart only if i reset NVRAM each time, which i do not think is really safe to do it everytime.
i also tried
Macs Fan Control
gfxCardStatus
to fix but they doesn't help.
I read many customers are now experiencing similar problems with this mac as the GPU Amd is faulty.
APPLE SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE IT or will lose many custumers
I am now waiting to be seen at Genius bar on sunday, however i read about etrecheck in this related post
http:/https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5081857?start=0&tstart=0
and meanwhile i want to hear your opinion...

1st gen Mac Pro graphics glitches and unresponsive

I'm not sure if this is related to
a) Snow Leopard
b) Safari 5
c) something else
but after recent updates I get graphics glitches, such as in Safari, lines across the browser window, not on particular content, it might be pure HTML (the old kind) and can be flash, or multimedia...
When using Final Cut (6) I get some weird graphics related errors from time to time, and after hours of editing suddenly my computer stops, becomes "frozen" (I have the clock in the menu bar set to show seconds and they stop) I have to do a hard-reboot to get anything back.
And the thing that happened now, which makes me post this thread is I was doing some web development, while watching some iTunes U movies, suddenly I had green graphical artifacts over the screen(s) and the computer froze.
Is anyone else out there experiencing this, perhaps found the source of the problem ?
My console reports 2 things that doesn't seem too "serious" TimeMachine finished doing a backup successfully and mDNSresponder got a "Bad DDNS browsing domain: (unknown)" just before the latest break down.

Sorry you're having this issue. It is a common issue and I have it as well. I ended up replacing my card which fixed the problem but, after 6 months, the problem is back.
There is something nasty with the Mac Pro's and graphic cards it seems. My first card was a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and now I'm having trouble with the ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I'm trying to get to the bottom of the problem... no luck so far... I'm not interested in replacing the card if it's going to happen again 6 months down the road and I'm not interested in buying a new computer either.
Any luck with your problem?

Intel imac display glitch and involuntary restart

Just want to know if anyone else has experienced this specific problem, there are plenty of complaints about intel imac displays but I can't be bothered to sift through them all trying to find a match for my problem.
A couple of months ago I was watching a video in quicktime and noticed that my screen was glitching and flashing fragmented diagonal lines - like a commodore 64 loading type thing. Then the spinning-ball came up and a force quit didn't do anything so I had to force shut down. I started up and it occured again. Then the screen went blank/black, but still lit up, and restarted without me doing anything. It also got stuck during start up the second time this occured. I panicked and ran out to buy a 500GB external drive, backed up all of my work and then re-installed mac osx from disk, archive and install job. This seemed to sort it and for the following two months it seemed OK. No sign of any problems.
Since then I have updated from 10.4.7 to 10.4.10 (which I have suspicion that it screwed the firmware in my motu 828 firewire audio interface, costing me a £130 repair - but that's another painful story).
It happened again tonight (the screen thing, not the motu). And the ball came up and I couldn't do anything. Force shut down, restart - screen glitching again. Then I had 2 unexpected restarts, one getting stuck in startup. Then a successful startup but accompanied by the glitchy graphics, mainly red/pink pixellated diagonal lines flickering in and out. I ran a disk first aid - no problems. Did a disk permission repair. Shut down and ran a hardware test, the first few minutes of the test the screen was still at it but then stopped glitching, hardware test found no errors (it was an extended test too). Now I'm back on it and it's all OK.
Any suggestions/similar stories?
When it occured 2 months ago I had the original ram that came with the imac. Now I have 2x1GB sticks of crucial ram.

That's it! Well, that's what I have. Unfortunately, I don't know about the cause, but I don't ever recall having it prior to an update going back about a year ago. I recall an update, and that update being immediately followed by some sort of Apple Graphics something-or-other. I feel pretty certain that's when I first noticed this. I just had my LCD replaced for another reason, but I think you'll agree, it's not an LCD issue. In my case, browser activity, scrolling up or down in a page, seems to be the most common trigger. I've also seen "pieces" of the torn page, on the screen when minimizing the browser to the dock (usually Firefox, but I think I've seen it with Opera and Safari too). Is there a way to find update packages installed somewhere? I'd know it if I saw it, and I'd definitely try removing that suspect package/update.
