Hey,

Graphiccard: ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
anyone know a solution to my problem?

OK, if the Wallpaper is set to »tiled«, the iMac goes nuts.

    Mavericks 10.9.1 is causing graphics corruption with my mac pro early 2009.
    ATI Radeon 4870 quit working altogether. Replaced with ATI Radeon 5870 and having different and weird graphics corruption issues.
    Turned off screensaver because once I got all pink screen with occasional snowflakes flickering on screen. That has stopped now but other things still happening.

  • Late 2013, 27" 3.2GHz iMac random "graphics" errors with Yosemite

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I am encountering random "graphics errors".
    Sometimes happens with an Apple report, some times without.
    In some cases, it causes a logout (not reboot or kernel panic).  After logging
    back in the small "graphics error" box is there.
    It is always happening at least once during a browsing session in Safari, often
    more.  It is also not website dependent as going back and reloading the pages where
    the problem occurred will work without the problem.
    With Mail, it is even worse.  Simply getting email is not a problem.  It happens
    if multiple apps are open and I try to create a Mail message.  This is when
    I get the sudden logout situation.  The only way I can compose an email
    is to close all other apps.
    Memory is NOT an issue as I have 24GB installed.
    Anyone having the same issues or clues as to how to fix????
    NOTE:  Everything works flawlessly and as it should if I boot into
                 Mavericks.

    same problem here screen random glitches while surfing the web with macbook pro retina 13 late 24 model. Just graphic issues *for example i may zoom in  photo on the web and it may appear a random line or glitch) yosemite is really bad

  • CS3 install error with Lion

    Trying to install CS3 from install disk onto new MacBook Pro with Lion OS - get this error: "PowerPC applications are no longer supported"
    Had used migration assistant from iMac running leopard - CS3 apps did not migrate. So trying to do from install disk.
    Thanks for any help! - Lesley

    TaoDrum did you originally try transferring the CS3 applications with the Migration assistant?  If so that is probably where your difficulty lies.  You are correct the Creative Suite 3 applications are universal so they should run in both environments.
    If you did migrate over the applications then you can try using the Creative Suite 5 cleaner tool to clean up your installation.  If that fails then I would recommend reverting back to the original image on your Macintosh and only use the migration assistant to move over settings and documents.

  • Why getting printer errors with Lion

    Since getting my new computer with Lion, when I print to my Lexmark laser printer, I keep very briefly getting an error in the printer queue of "Printer does not support IPP/2.0. trying IPP/1.1". The pages do print after the error message.
    The laser has the latest printer firmware update from Lexmark and I have the latest printer drivers from Apple.
    I am assuming Lion is implementing new printing protocols that aren't recognized by the printers. Even behind the curve Adobe products give the same message, so would appear it is the OS that is calling for IPP/2.0, not the software. The error doesn't appear with the software running under Snow Leopard partition.

    Same problem with Mountain Lion, with latest driver from App store. Mountain Lion automatically chooses the driver.
    Easiest fix appears to be to select the default or highest priority protocol at the printer's web page. Bonjour will then automatically use that protocol instead of IPP.
    See Apple fix for Windows - which recommends LPD Printing (BINPS) or 9100 Printing. I read that 9100 RAW uses HP JetDirect Socket.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2236
    My HP CP4025DN supports many incoming protocols, just not IPP/2.0. If IPP is chosen in the printer as highest priorotyprotocol, then that's what Bonjour installs.

  • Time Machine Error with Lion

    Been using Time Machine with no problems for a couple of years now. It's wonderful. Upgraded to Lion two weeks ago and it's been working flawlessly. However, two days ago, my Time Machine backup quit working. I'm not getting the following error message every time I try to perform a backup:
    "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk"
    I have run Disk Utility twice a day for the past two days and nothing. It says the volume is fine and does not need repairing, yet the backup continues to fail.
    I have checked Software Update and there are no updates available. I have checked the drive manufacturer and there are no firmware updates.
    I have (4) internal disks. All of them check out fine, permissions are checked, repaired. Nothing.
    The Apple tech document suggests deleting my backup and doing a new one. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a backup in the first place, right?
    It's been working just fine until now. Any ideas on how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, not really.

  • Graphical error with drop shadow on new i7 MacBook Pro 13"

    I have noticed a problem on my new MacBook Pro with the drop shadow on my finder and application windows. Difficult to describe but a picture will let you see what is happening.
    As you move a window around it kind of "erases" the shadow behind it.
    This behaviour is not specific to xPad or Terminal (both of which were running when I took this screenshot). I've seen it on Firefox and when a Finder window is in the foreground. Usually selecting a screen in the background fixes this but it is unusual and I have some concerns especially as this machine is only about a month old.
    Any idea? Or has anyone seen this before?

    I have the exact same problem, but only when I hook my macbook pro up to an external monitor.
    My post is displayed here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3276589
    Could you do me a favour and show me how the website beanandberry.co.uk appears for you? Does the background show up?
    I think it's probably a graphics card driver problem. However I did update my RAM recetnyl and I'm going to reset the cache to see if it does anything.
    If successful I'll post something again.

  • Screen Field Data Change Error with in Chain/End-Chain request

    Hello,
    I am currently experiencing an issue that I cannot resolve.  I have two fields in a chain/end-chain request that I need to perform some functions when entry is made.  For example, the two fields are amount and percent_of_change and when either is entered on the screen.  The chain request makes it into the module to adjust the other field however when it the program returns to the chain it will reset the value that was in there before the entry was made.  Here is an example of the coding:
    CHAIN.
          FIELD wa_projection-flag.
          FIELD wa_projection-nextclass.
          FIELD wa_projection-raisetype.
          FIELD wa_projection-rank.
          FIELD wa_projection-edate.
          FIELD wa_projection-percent_change
            MODULE calculate_amount ON REQUEST.
          FIELD wa_projection-amount
            MODULE calculate_percent ON REQUEST.
          MODULE group_proj_entr_modify ON CHAIN-REQUEST.
        ENDCHAIN.
    MODULE calculate_amount INPUT.
    *** Calculate Percentage or amount depending on what was entered.
      IF    wa_projection-currsal > 0.
        wa_projection-amount = wa_projection-currsal * ( wa_projection-percent_change / 100 ).
      ENDIF.
    ENDMODULE.               
    Has anyone run into this before?  Is so, please advise how I can resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Jereme

    Combine both the CHAIN MODULEs in one.
    Like:
          FIELD: wa_projection-percent_change,
                     wa_projection-amount
            MODULE calculate_amount_percent ON REQUEST.
    Now, in your module calculate_amount_percent, you will have access of both the fields. So, you will be able to perform the calculation and update it.

  • Graphic problems/errors with Mainstage 3 and MBP (15'' 2011)

    Hi,
    I bought Mainstage 3 for my MBP (15'' 2011).
    When i click con "perform" i get graphic errors.
    I have the same issue with the old Mainstage version since Mountain Lion.
    Also a fresh installation didn't help.
    I think i'm not the only one with this issue!
    I don't know how to report a bug?
    Perhaps someone can help me.
    (and  I'm probably not the only one (see feedback in Apple Store) If you also have this problem, please add a comment with your configuration (Hardware, Software))
    /forgotten ebi
    So, here an example how it looks like when i click on "perform":

    Same configuration,same problem. BUT I found a workaround.
    Mainstage has this error with the AMD video card and/or a second monitor connected.
    With a little app (http://gfx.io)  it's possible to really force the MBPro to use the Intel Graphics card.
    This will work only with the internal screen, not with a second screen connected.
    And sometimes you need to restart, to really make the Intel video card free.
    This works fine...In the meantime of a fix.

  • Error with month end payroll Accruals

    We have an error when posting month end payroll accruals for our weekly payroll, though the bi-weekly payroll works fine!
    I have checked tables T549S and T51A1 and all of the dates are correct and set as I would expect, however the system did not create a month end accrual for the weekly payroll into the following months posting period.  For the biweekly payroll this worked exactly as expected.
    We had no issues with this for the last calendar year, however for 2009 we have changed our month end closing dates, though I do not see that this would prevent this from happening.  I have checked various things in the IMG and have not been able to resolve this, does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this.
    HELP!!!

    Michelle :
    Month-end accrual determination is based on T51A1, T549S (date type '04' and '05'), and T549Q (field Begda and Endda). Pay extra attention on these dates, as if one is incorrect (e.g. miss-type the year in the future entry with an earlier year) would definitely cause month-end accrual to stop working.
    Rgds.

  • Off-the-shelf graphics cards... any luck with Lion?

    I've been hearing online ramblings about Lion being compatible with some off-the-shelf graphics cards and Wikipedia says the Radeon 6XXX HD cards are compatible, but has anybody tried any cards that aren't clearly labeled as Mac compatible?  I know, I know, only the "Made for Mac" cards are supposed to work but I'm hearing too much online to be satisfied with that response at this point.
    The GT 120 is just tired and I want the power of the 5870, but $400+ feels unfair.  I know it's only been out for a day, but I'm already itching to hear if anybody has tried anything new with Lion.

    Tried a XFX HD 4670 Radeon. Once booted everything works fine. Here are my findings:
    No boot up screen (therefore ability to change start up drive) expected based on other discussions
    The card seems to think that I have a second monitor connected - and I was not able to find a way to make it think otherwise.
    Overall the card was speedy and boosted my xbench and geekbench scores - but for now I am back to my GT120..

  • When I migrated the contents of my iMac to my new MacBook Pro (both running Lion), I ended up with duplicate icons in the launchpad. How do I get rid of them?

    When I used migration Assistant to transfer stuff from my iMac to my MacBook Pro, both running the latest update of Lion, I ended up with duplicate icons in the Launchpad. How do I correct this situation. Some can be deleted using the iPad method of holding down an icon until they all jiggle and then clicking the "X" to delete. However, most do not have x's appear next to them. Otherwise, the migration seemed to go okay.

    Launchpad will display an icon for each copy of an application that is currently installed (as well as any aliases to those applications), so you will see more than one icon for an application if you have more than one version of the application installed or aliased. So did you create any aliases of these apps on your old computer? If so, delete them.

  • Error: 150:30 on new iMac with Lion

    Hello,
    My InDesign CS4 does not start after I bought a new iMac (August 2011) with Lion (with the latest updates of Apple):
    'Licensing for this product has stopped working (...)
    Error: 150:30'
    Restarting the computer, as suggested in the message, doesn't work.
    Can anyone tell me what to do to solve this problem?
    Thank you!
    Edzard Krol

    Thanks for the reply. I did try all other suggestions. According to many posts, these steps worked for many people, just not me. Perhap the following will be useful for someone in my predicament:
    - I didn't have FLEXnet Publisher in Prefs (it didn't migrate with everything else to my new iMac).
    - Someone actually said they had success when they added FLEXnet Publisher back to their prefs, but that didn't work for me, either.
    - I changed permissions on the files they suggested, didn't work.
    - I repaired permissions with Disk Utility, didn't work.
    - And finally, could not open License Recovery (error said PPC no longer supported, as I mentioned).
    BUT: this did finally work (which I found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3857489):
    Utilities/Terminal, paste: sudo python '/Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/'LicenseRecover.py
    I did all the steps on the screen until it was complete, then I was able to open PS, which prompted me for my serial number. Worked. There might hve been an easier way that I missed, but I'm just glad it's fixed. Do you really think CS 4 is that old? It's only one version ago, no?
    Thanks again,
    Lisa
