This is the Do Not Disturb part in my notification center.
Any Solution?

You could try booting into Safe Mode. If all seems fine in Safe Mode, restart normally and see if it helped.

Graphics problem in OS X Mavericks

Hello,
Sorry for my english in advance.
I have Macbook Air 13" (mid 2012) [CPU: Core i5 with GPU: HD 4000].
I faced problem with the GPU. First after update to OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) I could not boot it.
It's hangs on Gray screen with Apple's logo and spinning loading gray wheel.
After two days I managed to boot it but GPU not working correctly now.
In Hardware, in section "Graphics" there is no text for OpenGL and QE. Text missing.
In Launchpad icons blinks when I scrolling. Can not open 3d applications (application crash).
Is anyone face same problem or know how to fix it?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Is Apple doing anything to fix the problem with displaylink in Mavericks?

I have been doing the Beta track for several years. Apple has been fairly good about ironing out the bugs before a release (as compared to Microsuck and other OS alternatives). But this problem with DisplayLink and Mavericks is about to kill me. I've been running multiple displays for several years and never had problems with prior OSX versions. My work computer (Macbook Pro) is still running Lion and works perfectly with DisplayLink and two 27" Samsung HD monitors. I would really love to get back to using the monitor setup with my Dev environment, however I can't even get a 2013 model Mavericks Macbook Pro to recognize that the DisplayLink device (IBM USB3.0 dock) is connected.
Once or twice I've gotten one monitor to show up after using the computer for a random amount of time. On that occasion, suddenly the main screen blinked and the second monitor came to life. I was reading webmail with Safari at the time and no other apps were running or had been started when it happened. This sort of thing isn't what I would classify as release-ready.
Every seed announcement I keep hoping for a fix, but after 3 since the Mav release, I'm beginning to lose hope. Anyone have info on how this might be made to work?
Thanks
David

DisplayLink also points fingers at Apple, which may be completely valid, but expecting Apple to put much effort into problems that only affect third-party hardware using an unsupported interface seems a bit of wishful thinking.
However, rumor sites indicate a focus on graphics in the next update : http://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/06/apple-seeds-first-os-x-10-9-3-build-to-devel opers/

Graphics problem mac book pro late 2011 model

I have a mac book pro late 2011 model.my screen gets grey after the apple logo pops up and freezes and it becomes extremly hot.as my mac was out of warranty i gave it for repair but it didnt resolve as it was a graphics problem.later on i came to know that a lot of mac book pro late 2011 model users have the same problem.will apple change the logic board for me as its just two years old and i paid around Rs.120000 for that mac and now i am not able to use it.i saw the logic bard price and its like Rs.45000 which is like too expensive.i dont know what to do? i came across a forum saying apple will replace the logic board for free if its graphics related issues for mac book pro late 2010 model if its within 3 years from the date of purchase. here is the link .
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US
I am a student and it took much time and money to buy that mac.please let me know if someone can help me replacing the logic board.its just two years old and as new as i bought. pls help

You're having the problems as discussed in this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0 - thread. There is no scheme to replace the logic boards as there was for the 15" mid-2010 model. Depending on where you are and what consumer rights you may have under the laws of your country, Apple will likely want to replace the logic board (at a substantial cost). The best 'fix' for the problem at this time is to have the GPU BGA reballed back onto the logic board.
Take a look at the thread and see if you've the same problems - it only affects 15" and 17" 2011 models, not the 13" model. If you've the 13" model, you have a different problem.
Good luck,
Clinton

TouchSmart 600-1050 - Graphics Problem with MS Outlook

I have a TouchSmart 600-1050. When I open MS Outlook, and then open the Calendar in a separate window, the window opens as non-maximized and everything is fine. When I maximize the window (I start in Week view), the tasks below each day do not stretch to fit their now wider column. It's as if the graphics don't recalculate for that screen element. Once I am maximized and see the problem, I have to switch to another view (e.g. Month or Day) and back to Week and it will fix itself. Feels like a graphics problem, underpowered chipset or bug in driver (?).
This was not a problem on my HP Desktop I had before, and it is not a problem on my 3 year old Lenovo ThinkPad X60. All are running W7 and using Office 2007.
Any ideas? The graphics driver is up to date according to HP Update and Device Manager.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I tried both of your suggestions and the issue occurred in both. I've never noticed the sub-content not maximizing properly in other apps, but haven't tested thoroughly.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
- Should I checked a different way to see if I have the latest drivers?
- Is there any way for me to upgrade my 600-1050 with the graphics card in the 600-1055? The 1050's "Mobile PCI Express Module" is open/available. Could I buy the nVidia GeForce GT 230 that comes with the 1055 and hook that up?
Only reason I suggest this is that the graphics seem sluggish to update at times.
Thanks.

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

Problem with maps in Mavericks on iMac

I have a problem with my Maps on Mavericks.
I can open it just fine, no crash or whatever but the map itself just won't load, whatever mode it is on. Here is the screenshot of my Maps:
As you can see, it just stays blank all the time.
I'm also running Parallels 9 and don't know if that has something to do with problem.

Spent days trying various fixes, but this is the one that did it for me. Thanks!

Try this
Since my date and time were incorrect and imessage was not working as well, I tried this
1. Go to system preferences and click date and time
2. Select date and time tab
3. Uncheck "set date and time automatically" and manually enter the correct time
4. Go to time zone tab and uncheck the box there too
5. Go back to date and time tab and now check the box "set date and time automatically"
6. Then check the box in time zone as well
Now open maps and see if it works!

X230T - Major Windows 8 Graphics Problems

Hi all,
I own a X230 Tablet with the Intel HD4000 running Windows 8 Release Preview. I know it's still a beta but I was just wondering if anyone else has run into major graphics problems on Windows 8 Release Preview. I'm currently using the most up to date W8 64 bit Drivers from intel.
There is a huge amount of clipping, flickering and white backgrounds being shown as black. The apps I've noticed this in are OneNote MX (whenever pen input done), Windows Reader (All PDF white backgrounds are shown as black) and Internet Explorer 10 Metro (Tab previews have black bacgrounds). This is strange to me, though I've found at least one other X230T owner with identical problems.
Pictures, videos and descriptions can be found here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-winapps/intel-hd4000-onenote-mx-w8-reader...
Just wondering if Lenovo engineers are aware of this issue and if a fix exists/ is being worked upon. It's somehwat fustrating as it makes many core Windows 8 experiences unsuable (which was the point of buying a touch screen laptop).
Thanks
Solved!

welcome to the community.
how do the intel beta drivers you're running compare to the beta lenovo drivers available in the matrix here:

W7/64-bit on W500 - Switchable Graphics problem

Hi,
Did a clean install Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) on my Thinkpad W500 (4062-3CG).
Having problem with "ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver for Windows 7".
ATI driver won't load, so default Intel chipset is used with poor graphics as a result.
I have also tried "Windows 7 BETA Drivers and Utilities" with no luck.
Yesterday the graphics worked for a short period of time, that was after remoting my Thinkpad with RDP? very strange. But after reboot graphics was back to non functional again.
Any ideas?
TIA
Johan

Did you apply Lenovo driver packages in any specific order? Don't really understand what I missed?
My plan was to do a "clean" W7/64 install and after that run ThinkVantage System Update 4.0 for latest drivers.
In my case ThinkVantage System Update 4.0 could not start without Access Help for Windows 7 installed, that was the first dependency problem.
However, after that ThinkVantage System Update 4.0 run successfully and everything works fine but the ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver for Windows 7.
The ThinkVantage System Update 4.0 applied latest updates for everything including the BIOS. When I try to run BIOS update separately for getting around the graphics problem it says BIOS version is OK and no update needed.
Tried to disable Switchable Graphics in BIOS-setup using Discrete but that does not fix my problem?

Follow the steps accurately
1. Open This Pc or My Computer and then go to Uninstall or change a program

4. As the list is displayed, you will see AMD Catalyst install manager, right click it and uninstall it in express mode. Uninstall all the AMD component. Restart your PC as it will ask you.
5. Go to This Pc or My Computer and then C Drive. Open Program Files & Program Files (x86) both of them if you are running 64-bit Os. In the search box write AMD and you will find some remaining files- delete them all.
6. Now you PC is free of previous drives and the remaining files. Although right click to Windows sign and go to Device Manager. You will see Display adapters and uninstall them both. This step is not necessary but just to be sure that your PC has no previously installed drivers.
7. Open your browser and download the latest Intel Graphics Driver for your PC. My driver was Win64_153322. Install it. If you install it correctly than you are half way through. Restart your PC if it requires.
8. Go to AMD web site and download the latest driver. To avoid complicacy best option is to download Autodetect. Because it will choose the best appropriate driver for your system. File name is amddriverdownloader.
9. Open the file amddriverdownloader and download the driver. Download will be completed and it will start automatically the installation. Install it in express mode. Restart your PC as it will ask you to do it.
10. Hopefully your driver problems will be solved. To check it go to device manager and see if the drivers are installed correctly. Turn on CCC and give it a try to play a game in High Performance. You will see the problem is solved.
This is how I solved my AMD graphics problem. I been suffering since I installed Windows 8.1 just after it was released and today 15 Jun 14 I solved the issue. I can play any game in High performance now.

24" iMac (1st Gen\White), Graphics Problem(s)

Hi, I will have had my iMac for two years on Thursday (Christmas present, in a way) and it is currently starting to exhibit some weird graphical problems, horizontal lines are appearing in various applications, at random times, but the weird thing is that they stay in that app when i move the window around and I can take snapshots of them. I posted some to my MobileMe Gallery: http://gallery.me.com/mam693#100105
I installed Leopard on an iPod and those lines even showed up on the install DVD as well as the clean iPod making me believe its a hardware issue.
Now, I have been reading that other people have had similar problems and have had to pay around $800 to get it fixed, if anyone could confirm, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if anyone has any other suggestions they would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Hello,
This sounds like a video card issue but if you haven't done so, check the hard disk for errors.
To check the hard disk:
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the Menu Bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click the Verify button. If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
If it were me, I'd back the system up and erase the drive just to make sure it isn't a hardware issue and not have to shell out $$$$$.
Reinstalling Mac OS X
Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact.
NOTE: To reinstall Mac OS X from another computer on your network, see this topic:
Using Remote Install Mac OS X
To reinstall Mac OS X:
Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available).
Click Options.
If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, select “Archive and Install,” and then select “Preserve Users and Network Settings.”
If you want to erase everything on your computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select “Erase and Install.” You can’t recover erased data.
Click Continue.
Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you’d like to install, or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).
NOTE: If you selected “Erase and Install” in step 3, you may need to use the Applications Install DVD that came with your computer to reinstall your iLife applications (GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iWeb). If you are prompted to use the Applications Install DVD, insert the Applications Install DVD, double-click the Install Bundled Software icon, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you purchased a standalone version of Mac OS X, these installation instructions are in a PDF file located on the Mac OS X Install DVD.
If you need to reinstall the version of Mac OS X that was on your computer when you purchased it, or if you need to restore all the software on your computer, including Apple software, third-party applications, and other printer drivers, review the instructions in the manual that came with your computer.
If you need to reinstall Mac OS X and you’ve been using Time Machine for backup, you can easily restore your applications, files, and user settings from your Time Machine backup disk after you’ve reinstalled Mac OS X.
Happy Holidays!!!

24'' iMac 2006 graphic problems

I have an old iMac which I am planning to give away for free. It is a 2006 24 '' iMac with 2,16 GHz IntelCore duo processor. It had originally 1 GB RAM, but has now 4 GB RAM installed .
The latest OS it had was iOS 10.7 Lion, and there were some graphic issues where parts of the screen was really odd.
I cleared the HD and did a clean install of iOS 10.7 Lion using the recovery HD partition, The installation proscess was uneventful, and with no graphic disturbances. But as soon as I started using the machine, there was again graphic problems. I also got som of the "You need to restart your computer...." messages.
I then again cleared the HD and did a clean install of iOS 10.6 Snow Leopard from a SL DVD. Again an uneventful installation, but the same graphic problems when using the machine.
I repeated the proscess and did a new clean install of iOS 10.7 Lion, this time from an installation USB stick I made some years ago. Same thing.
I then cleared the HD once again and did a clean install of iOS 10.5 Leopard from a DVD. This time I was really optimistic because everything looked so good. But after using the iMAc for some minutes, there are again graphic problems. It seems the problems are less with Leopard than the other iOS I have tried. SOme times the screen looks normal, sometimes there are horisontal stripes across the screen, and sometimes part of the screen is really disturbed.
During the installation proscess there are no graphic issues.
I have repaired permissons, reset PRAM and using Disk Utility to repair the HD shows nothing wrong.
Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong? Is it a hardware or a software problem? I do not want to use much money or much time on this, as this is really an iMac I do not use anymore.

It's not software. It's consistent with a graphic card/logic card problem.
I have an iMac, and I'd be obliged if you could satisfy my curiosity. What kind of computing have you done? Pretty routine web browsing and email? Gaming and video editing? Have the temps gone up very high at any time while using it? Did the problems happen after your latest upgrade? Have you tried downgrading the OS?
Thanks!

New iMac freezing, showing Graphics problems and Wifi Problems on 1st Day

My sister just received her new iMac - 20 inch - 500 GB drive.
I started seeing problems during the download of the FIRST software update from apple. There was a black box in the lower left corner of the software update window where it should have been grey (or metal).
On reboot, I also occasionally show weird flickering graphics in the lower right of the login screen.
My new iMac also frooze about 4 different times during the installtion of various updates during the first 4 hours of use. Mouse and keyboard would not work. Once it frooze at the login screen after clicking on the user name.
I also had wifi issues. After three hours of use, my STRONG wifi connection was lost. Moreover, I could not see any other wifi stations. (normally I would see 5 other wifi access points from my sister's neighbours). After reboot, the other wifi access points would appear including my sisters but I could NOT connect to my sister's wifi access point. It said I had an error. I checked the keychain and it showed the right key/password for my sister's wifi AP. I had to run Mac Network Diagnostics and reset wifi to get things working again.
It sounds like a sick iMac. I know others have experienced freezing. But given all these problems, should I ask for a new imac?
Rob
P.S. My sister got AppleCare as well. Maybe that was a good thing...

I had a long chat with Apple Support. It would appear that Apple's policy is not replace the computer unless it can be determined that it is a hardware problem (even though my problems started to appear right out of the box before I even had a chance to download any updates). According to the Apple product specialist, sometimes there are bad installs of the OS at the factory.
Apple wanted me to format the drive and reinstall the OS.
Fortunately, I did not have to reinstall the OS! I started to see graphics problems when I was asked to run the Disk Utilility off the Install DVD (so I could format the drive). So clearly there was a hardware problem.
In retrospect, I really wish there was an Apple Store nearby to buy Apple computers. I am sure the store manager would not ask me to go home and reinstall the OS etc and try again when the computer doesn't work properly out of the box.
Those who have Apple Stores nearby do not know how lucky they are!
