Gradient problems ...funny texture in screen

I just received my new macbook the other day.
The screen seems to have a texture pattern in the display.
I am assuming this is a inherent thing in the glossy display.
The main issue i am having is the color saturation and gradient problems.
I have been using an imac for the last couple of years, and have only started to use leapord for the first time on the macbook. I though apple intentionally desaturated...but in fact, it seems like the screen has a dull saturation.
I am always seeing un smooth gradients and a lot of dithering. In fact, it's almost in everything. I have read things on the internet about 6bit displays and such but never got any real facts.
I have heard of people getting the display replaced because of this issue.
I am not sure if it is common in all macbooks or just some.
Any info would be awesome.
TIA,
ADAM

Thanks for your reply,
I have a few different problems with my screen.
The back of the laptop screen is being illuminated by the lcd,especially around the edges.... It is not as bright as the illuminated apple logo, but is pretty strong.
I've talked to many friends that have mac books and have never seen this issue. I am sending my macbook back and they are sending me another one for that reason.
I also looked at many macbooks just the other day. I looked at numerous friends macbooks and even went to best buy to compare their screens with mine. The screens on those macbooks are far better. Two issues, first, the gradients are really bad. They are not near as noticeable on other macbook screens. Sometimes you have to tilt the screen to notice it, but on my macbook, not very far. It is almost impossible to do graphics work on it. The best I can describe this....it reminds me of a PC that is missing a graphics driver (lots of dithering on subtle color changes.)
Second, the screen has a very light texture being displayed on the screen, kind of a micro check pattern. Again, this is not noticeable on other macbook screens (I originally though it might be on all "glossy" screen).
All in all, Apple is doing the right thing and letting me get it replaced with another. I hope that this macbook I am sending back just had a defective screen...and it's not apple changing the screens on them. If they are in fact changing the screens, then i have to say that they are inferior to the old ones....( and your paying the same price). If the macbook I get in the mail a few days has the same problem, I will, unfortunately, have to return it for a FULL refund. The laptop will not be suitable for the work I do.

Monitors with Gradient Problems?

Hi All,
Further to my recent post "monitor screen display terrible!"
Finding a monitor without spending a lot with excellent picture quality is proving differcult! I have tried a Philips 22" monitor Model 220CW9FB and now a BENQ T900HD 18.5 WS monitor all not as sharp with good contrast as my 4 year old G5 iMac. Also has a gradient problem e.g. as you get up off your chair and continue to look down at the screen the white background of the screen turns light blue then darker and colored parts turn white!? Also looking at an angle to the side anything light blue turns a light brown!? Then as I'm viewing something as in Apple Discussions each box of replies alternate white then light blue and so on but looking at normal distant as you type each box are white. You have to lean back in your chair, twice the distance back to actual see the blue box then white box!?
What's that all about? I have noticed this on the new 20" iMacs too but the three new 24" iMacs are great just like my Rev A G5 iMac of 4 years. Are these inferior screen problems anything to do with them being TN panels as I've just read about?
I really don't know where to go from here as the screen quality is important. I'm use to the great screen quality of my old G5 iMac and don't want to go down in quality for the sake of moving from a Mac PowerPC to an Intel Core 2 Duo even though I need this for EyeTV hybrid and all the features of iLife '09 etc.
I don't want to spend a huge amount for an Apple display as I might as well get the entry level 24" iMac. The main reason for not getting the new iMac is I don't like the glossy screen, although today I heard there is an option for a 24" matt screen... any truth in that? Then again will I be able to return the new Mac mini I've only had for 6 days for a 24" iMac?
Other suggestions seen here is turning my G5 iMac into a stand-a-loan monitor or maybe a 20-year-old CRT 19" TV I have can be used as a monitor and if so what connections are needed? Any ideas on these options?
So buying the new Mac mini has created a lot of unexpected problems. I thought as asked about before getting it was told any monitor would have the same picture quality as my old G5 iMac, but after the fact found out this is not the case.
Thanks for the read & any ideas/thoughts much appreciated...

AFAIK Hmmm Googled "As Far As I Know"... So far I've tried three monitors (all with gradient problem) so it looks like you are correct. I'll try a couple more today as if I need to return my Mac mini with Philips monitor need to do soon for a 24" new iMac even though the Mac mini is not at fault. I'll have to get use to the glossy screen. While writing this an item "iMac or MacBook display too glossy? Apply inexpensive non-glare LCD protective film" has appeared in MacDailyNews.
http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/20561/
Thanks for the idea using my G5 as a monitor but maybe quite an involved process?
It's a shame in all my research before buying a monitor no salesperson mentioned TN display panels. Mind you since the problem no salesperson has said they know about TN display panels or better monitors, just saying any monitor will work with the new Mac mini. Very frustrating!

Gradient banding on X220 IPS screen

Over on the Faint Ghosting on X220 IPS screen thread, I mentioned (twice, actually) that I see gradient banding on my X220 IPS screen. Nobody else has brought up this issue, and at the moment it seems that I may have a defective screen.
Here's a test image to check for gradient banding: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php. View and compare how it looks on other laptop and desktop monitors. Gradients appear smooth on my desktop PC (Dell monitor and low end Radeon card) and MacBook Pro, but banding is easily visible on my X220 with IPS screen. I even see faint banding when I view this forum, the subtle gradient background at the top of each post. My display is set to 32 bit color and 60 Hz refresh.
I'll take it up with Lenovo support. Meanwhile, anybody else who has the issue can post and discuss here.

I have the exact same problem.
When there is a gradient (like on the login screen, or the webpage linked earlier) I can see the image moving for a couple of seconds. This kind of behavior from the screen also makes my eyes painful after a while.
I love this laptop otherwise, but this is a terrible quality issue. I tried to explain my problem to lenovo with no luck.
Anyway, from what I read here, it's common to most x220, what can I do.
If at least lenovo was helpful. Or if they could let me return the laptop without the absurd 15% restocking fee...
Edit: Alright, found by myself after a couple of hours searching: The moving bands when the display is "adjusting" to the new picture is in part due to Intel's power saving tech "Intel Display Power Saving Technology" which can be disabled in intel's control panel. It causes flickering of the screen in general, but mostly gradients.
For those wondering, yes, it does save some power. The computer idling with this feature uses 10 watts. Without it's 11. I don't know how it'll affect battery life, but if I really need longer battery life, I'll turn the brightness down myself.
I still notice some flickering, I'll see how it goes. The banding, while now static, is still clearly visible though.
Maybe someday they'll learn LG is not good at IPS screens (see the ipad2 fiasco too)

I had exactly the same issue after updating to OS X 10.5.7 which was released yesterday.
Updating X11 to 2.3.3 available from xquartz.macosforge.org solved my problem. (Yay!)

Apple IMac 27 has a problem. Random black screen. Over 1 year without any fix

Apple IMac 27 has a problem.
Random black screen.
Over 1 year without any successful fix.
IMac 27 10.8.4 (12E55) - bought in 2010
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1067 Mhz RAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
The IMac computer screen goes black randomly but the machine still running beyond.
In order to go back to normal i need to awake the computer by hitting with the pointer a hot corner previously created " sleep mode" ( top left ).
..the black screen would come back after one second again..and then again and then again and then again..with different intervals..sometime 2 seconds after the other, sometime as soon as appears the user login screen.
I took the machine to an Apple Store two times over one year, they opened, cleaned it but they didn't replace anything has they could not understand what they real problem was. I was happy for that because they didn't try to make me spend money on something which was not going to solve my issue for sure.
Last time i kindly asked them to inspect everything meticulously, part by part, i left the machine with them for over 2 months. They couldn't understand why this was happening..after couple of weeks, 5 more machines came in with the same problem.
On some of them., upon request of the client they changed the graphic card but apparently this was not the fix, the problem come back again. Apparently changing the graphic card or the screen or else it didn't solve any problem to anyone. I'm almost thinking to "trough it out of the window"..we all spend money for this machines and i think we need to know if Apple is looking in to this or not.
Lately i tried to do an SMS RESET and PRAM RESET, it feels it got better a little but problem still coming back.
Also, all usb devices are disconnected and the problem still there
Below you will see a copy of the console report. I honestly don't understand much of it as i'm not a computer guy.

I'm now thinking to try to take the machine to its original firmware and see if it still does it, does anyone have any sugestion?
I use a lot photoshop and other image software, this computer is essential for my work. For more then one year this issue caused me problems.
Luckly i have a Macbook Pro too and i managed to do some of my work there. At last I was thinking to buy an external screen and attach it to the Macbook pro in order to work on my big images. But who wants to spend money again!!!???? This is not a fixture, this is silly. I wish to have my IMAc working again.
The warranty it's obviously over and this problem happened right after the warranty was over...
I write this post because i'm so tired of this issue and online nothing can be found apart from posts from so many people that have the same problem and no fixture has been found.
The only fixture seams to be to buy a new computer... Ole'!!!..new money flowing in in the cashier!! forget it!!! i would rather change company if apple doesn't respond to this.
For over 10 years i have been a Apple owner..
When this problem appears it's like someone it's playing a joke at you...
Comments welcome..
Thanks

Hi, I've seem to have found out the source of the problem.
The issue is related to heat, and an iMac 27" gets hot pretty fast.
If I boot the iMac straight after first start into Windows 7 I seem to get a lit built-in display at all times. I can also boot OS X first and then into Windows 7 and the built-in screen get lit every time as long as the iMac isn't hot.
Strange thing is that the monitor connected to the display port gets lit every time. So I can only assume that the heat only interfere with output to the built-in LED screen.
So this iMac is going to an Apple premium reseller for service, and I'll tell you guys how it went.

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

Problem in AT selection screen validation

Hi,
I am having problem in AT SELECTION SCREEN Validation.
I have 2 radiobutton and 6 parameter. if i click first radio button all the 6 radiobutton should enable and take the user input, that is working fine for me.
if i click second radiobutton , out of 6 , 3 parameter should disable and remaining 3 should enable. thats also working fine.
My problem is program has written the validation for this 3 parameter in the AT SELECTION SCREEN.
For first radioutton all the validation working fine, for second validation as soon as i press the radiobutton it will display error message. Based on 2 parameter user is filling value for 3 rd parameter.
I want the same validation to be done for second radio button after user pressing enter.
PARAMETER: p_single RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1 DEFAULT 'X' USER-COMMAND f1,
           p_multi RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.
PARAMETERS: s_pwwrk LIKE plaf-pwwrk.
PARAMETERS: p_lgort LIKE plaf-lgort.
PARAMETERS: p_kostl LIKE cobl-kostl.
here is my code:
AT SELECTION SCREEN.
CLEAR t001w.
CLEAR t001k.
CLEAR marv.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t001w WHERE werks EQ s_pwwrk.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    MESSAGE e999 WITH 'Plant' s_pwwrk 'does not exist'.
ELSE.
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM t001k WHERE bwkey EQ t001w-bwkey.
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM marv WHERE bukrs EQ t001k-bukrs.
    IF p_budat0(4) NE marv-lfgja OR p_budat4(2) NE marv-lfmon
IF marv-xruem IS NOT INITIAL.
        IF p_budat0(4) NE marv-vmgja OR p_budat4(2) NE marv-vmmon.
MESSAGE e999 WITH p_budat4(2) p_budat0(4)
                            'is closed.
                                        Please try again.'.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        MESSAGE e999 WITH p_budat4(2) p_budat0(4)
                          'is closed.
                                      Please try again.'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

For your Case ,
If i understand clearly,You can do the validation when you want on AT SELECTION SCREEN ON WP_FIELD.
If you say your validation to be done only for Selection of Second Radio Button, then..
AT SELECTION SCREEN.
if p_multi eq 'X'. "<- Make Validation to be done only if user select Second Button
CLEAR t001w.
CLEAR t001k.
CLEAR marv.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t001w WHERE werks EQ s_pwwrk.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
MESSAGE e999 WITH 'Plant' s_pwwrk 'does not exist'.
ELSE.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t001k WHERE bwkey EQ t001w-bwkey.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM marv WHERE bukrs EQ t001k-bukrs.
IF p_budat+0(4) NE marv-lfgja OR p_budat+4(2) NE marv-lfmon
IF marv-xruem IS NOT INITIAL.
IF p_budat+0(4) NE marv-vmgja OR p_budat+4(2) NE marv-vmmon.
MESSAGE e999 WITH p_budat+4(2) p_budat+0(4)
'is closed.
Please try again.'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
MESSAGE e999 WITH p_budat+4(2) p_budat+0(4)
'is closed.
Please try again.'.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
endif.

Translation problem in the portal screen

Hi Experts,
We are facing problem in the portal screen where some texts are displaying in-correct languages.
Basically all the text should come in Chinese if we login in Chinese language, but it is coming in English
For e.g. In Follow on Documents screen u2013 Value (filed label) is coming in English instead of Chinese,
Similarly some Chinese text is wrongly translated.
Help us how to do the translation or should we need to apply any OSS notes for this?
Should we need to use translation SOTR_EDIT to do the translation?if then how to do it?
Regards
Paul

Hi,
What is the SRM version ? Please also check the language setting in your browser.
For wrong translation, you can correct it in the translation tools like SE63.
Regards,
Masa

Why my ipad have problem with the rotation screen

i have a problem with the rotation screen is locked, i try everything but nothing is happening help

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
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 button

Foreground to transparent gradient
Foreground to Transparent will not work by simply clicking 'OK' and dragging mouse across a selected layer. This gradient tool is hyper sensitive, and unstable.
We tried to record the PS method for our gradient. Jing was our first choice, but Jing’s flash engine conflicts with the PS flash engine, blocking the gradient tool’s drag action. Jing can only record steps prior to the final drag-and-drop gradient action. Cam is rendered useless by HDR displays’ high resolution, causing glare white-out. Here is our visible work-flow.
>>
1. Select Gradient Tool on left toolbar, open tool group and select 'Foreground to transparent' tool.
Occasionally, next close and reopen PS 2014 (stubborn gradient problems).
>
When PS 2014 reopens, the specific gradient tool remains selected. This clears some aspects of the PS 2014 cache, which sometimes help.
Notice that selected left tool bar button momentarily changes to Eyedropper, when Gradient Editor opens! A hint of what follows.
2. Select a layer to apply gradient to, this selected layer is the gradient tool's "Foreground". However, gradient is applied in ‘reverse’ (see below, 5).
3. Panels bottom bar, click mask button to 'Add a layer mask', then ‘Filter for pixel layers’ and ‘Add a vector mask' -

This may also help!
                Using only Add layer mask may indiscriminately result the following:

when PS 2014 is unstable, adding actions when Layer mask alone fails, may (often) be stabilizing enough to make gradient work...
once PS 2014 begins performing Foreground to transparent gradients, then simply begin creating new transparency gradients when PS 2014 re-opens,
or just click Add layer mask to get going again;
- Layer mask alone may suffice, or it may slightly penetrate underlying layers with partial transparency, and/or…
- May convert transparent background to a foreground 'Color to transparent' gradient in opposite direction to (reversed) Foreground to transparent gradient;
- Exact/intended layer vs. vector behaviors are unknown, though each provides unique creative applications, in isolation and when used together;
- Use a new PSD file dedicated just to Foreground to transparent gradient. This quickly resolves inevitable multiple layer-and-tool conflicts.
4. Layers panel top bars, click ‘Lock transparent pixels’ and then click 'Filter for pixel layers'. These actions help focus PS 2014 on the current work-flow. Though given this gradient’s obvious corruption, it cannot be said that any method is specific, or repeatable. We are now stepping beyond the sometimes sufficient Add layer mask, experimenting with gradient line attempts as we go.
5. Finally, we will drag from point A to point B in workspace, resulting gradient with greatest transparency at A-side of selected layer. Click workspace anywhere and drag across selected layer: this creates a straight, dashed gradient line. When the mouse button is released at point B, the dashed line vanishes and the gradient is applied. Release mouse button where you want gradient to end. Note that the endpoint B inside of layer object will fade into opaque towards point B, right up to the B-side edge of the layer object. PS 2014 auto-renders an even gradient. Extending beyond object renders opacity curve with midpoint transparency closer to full opacity B-side of gradient line. This gradient tool, in its current structure, performs in reverse and should be renamed to Transparent to foreground: starting Point A is the transparent side of the gradient line!
6. Ctrl-Z or history to undo Foreground to transparent gradient (s). Experiment until it looks best. Multiple gradients can be applied from any direction. Occasionally, once PS 2014 has established effective (reversed) Foreground to transparent gradient behavior or behaviors (?... not sure what's going on there), then closing and reopening PS 2014, one can immediately begin to create new (reversed) Foreground to transparent gradients... without any masking or other workspace preparation!
Office 365 32-bit and PS 2014 64-bit conflict. When image pasted from PS into Word 365, Office pastes image as ‘Object’. Pasted object is distorted as square dimensions are vertically stretched 150% to offset square dimensions – e.g., 2px x 4px PS 2014 copied image layer becomes 2px x 6px Word image “Object”. Also, pasted objects cannot be formatted in any way. Re-sizing is not possible! This dimension distortion and formatting conflict does not arise in Office 64-bit; however, Microsoft will discourage (even withdraw support) as the bulk of corporate clients deploy Office as 32-bit software. PS 2014 is set to Maximize Compatibility.

I have a problem with my imac screen there is a degradation in the display

I have a problem with my imac screen there is a degradation in the display at the toplight is less intense as if you were at rest and half way on this but not if it's some software problem or please someone help me thanks.

Still in guarantee? Apple Care? Bring it to an Apple Store oder Apple Service Provider.

Problem in passing selection screen values using CALL TRANSACTION.

Hi All
I am facing problem in transfering selection screen values to the called transaction. I am trying to pass the path of the transaction filer but to no avail. The variable for filepath is not empty.
Below is my code:
DATA: lt_bdcdata TYPE TABLE OF bdcdata,
       wa_bdcdata TYPE bdcdata,
       opt TYPE ctu_params.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
wa_bdcdata-program = 'RFBASM00'.
wa_bdcdata-dynpro   = '1000'.
wa_bdcdata-dynbegin = 'X'.
APPEND wa_bdcdata TO lt_bdcdata.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'BDC_CURSOR'.
wa_bdcdata-fval = 'RFPDO1-FEBUMSF'.
APPEND wa_bdcdata TO lt_bdcdata.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'RFPDO1-FEBUMSF'.
wa_bdcdata-fval = gv_filepath.
APPEND wa_bdcdata TO lt_bdcdata.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'BDC_OKCODE'.
wa_bdcdata-fval = 'PASS'.
APPEND wa_bdcdata TO lt_bdcdata.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
opt-dismode = 'E'.
opt-updmode = 'S'.
CALL TRANSACTION 'FF_5' USING lt_bdcdata OPTIONS FROM opt.
Please help.

Hi Harsh,
I think you have entered wrong main program for tcode 'FF_5' and wrong screen field for the file name. Use the below code instead of yours.
DATA: lt_bdcdata TYPE TABLE OF bdcdata,
       wa_bdcdata TYPE bdcdata,
       opt TYPE ctu_params,
       gv_filepath type char128 value 'C:\testfile.txt'.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
wa_bdcdata-program = 'RFEBKA00'.
wa_bdcdata-dynpro   = '1000'.
wa_bdcdata-dynbegin = 'X'.
APPEND wa_bdcdata TO lt_bdcdata.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'BDC_CURSOR'.
wa_bdcdata-fval = 'UMSFILE'.
APPEND wa_bdcdata TO lt_bdcdata.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'UMSFILE'.
wa_bdcdata-fval = gv_filepath.
APPEND wa_bdcdata TO lt_bdcdata.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
*wa_bdcdata-fnam = 'BDC_OKCODE'.
*wa_bdcdata-fval = 'PASS'.
*APPEND wa_bdcdata TO lt_bdcdata.
*CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
opt-dismode = 'A'.
opt-updmode = 'S'.
CALL TRANSACTION 'FF_5' USING lt_bdcdata OPTIONS FROM opt.
Thanks.

Jey

Motion 5, 16bit and Gradients problems

I got a lot of problems with gradients in my last project.
I did orange gradient in Motion 5 for background, rendered it to ProRes 4444 and got banding and other gradient problems. Same time rendering to TIFF sequence was fine. Then I imported this TIFFs to Motion 4, change project to 16bit mode, enable float render in rendering preferencres. Rendered to same ProRes 4444 and all things are fine& No any banding.
In other hand I got information from manual that Motion 5 always work in 16bit mode. But my test show that output is have problems with right wripping 16bit video to any codec.
Can somebody conform this problems and may be somebody finded any solutions . . .

I can confirm this problem. I've created FCPX templates that look absolutely perfect in FCPX until they are rendered and there is banding in every version of ProRes. I know this problem is specific to Motion and Final Cut as *other programs* have no problem exporting/rendering flawless gradients in at least ProRes LT.

I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems: my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normal. my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines

I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems:
_ my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normally
_ my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines(as perhaps electrical problems). The phone did fell and I already changed its back and front but everything was normal until these problems appeared suddenly
Please can somebody help me to solve it and tell me what are the reasons?
Thx

you can try turning it off and on again, but i doubt that's gonna work, that sounds like more of a hardware issue. Your best bet may be to contact apple and seek service or replacement
