Graphics Issue in Lion (MBP 13" Mid 2010)?!

I installed Mac OS X Lion without any problems, but if I drag a file from the Finder to the right side of my desktop, I get a graphical defect for about 0.5s!
I was able to make a snapshot:
This defect only appears if there are min. two columns on my desktop. I also tried to reinstall Lion, but the problem last!
How to solve it?

I have a simmilair problem on my Mid 2011 iMac , mine starts when playing a youtube video fullscreen. Not always but it gives pink dots over the screen and when i leave fullscreen my navigation bar on top is messed up but the dropdown menu's are ok

Graphic Glitch - MacBook Pro, 15-inch, mid 2010

Hey everyone,
I have a MBP 15" mid 2010
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB
HDD1 OCZ-VERTEX2 SSD 120GB
HHD2 (replacing optical drive) Seagate Momentus 2.5 inch XT ST95005620AS 500GB
I have a graphical glitch quite often, which consists of some on screen corruption that lasts for a few milliseconds - enough for me to see it, but rarely enough for me to actually take a screenshot of it. Last week I managed to finally take a screenshot of it, which is great, as I can finally show that I'm not crazy. Please see below.
I pretty much assume it will be a problem with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (which is usually in use all the time, since I use an external screen in addition to my mbp 15" one).
Now, because this is not a crash event I doubt there'll be any log about it (but I'm all ears).
Regarding it's consistency and frequency it's very hard to say... it does happen a lot throughout the day. I have tried not running programmes that I feel interact with graphics a lot (F.lux and gfxCardStatus) but to no avail.
Anyone has any experience with this or some advice for me?
Thanks!

Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,
Clinton

Crashs of MBP 13 mid-2010 (MC375LL/A)

Hi,
I am using a a MBP 13 mid-2010 (MC375LL/A) with the following characteristics
MacBookPro 7,1
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz
RAM: 8Gb (2x4Gb in replacement of the 2x2Gb)
HDD: WD Blue 500Go 5400trs/min (in replacement of 320Go)
GPU: Nvidia 320M 256Mo
OSX: Maverick 10.9.1
Use: office software applications + Multimedia + scientific computing and development (one raeson for changing the RAM)
Since the middle of december 2013, the MBP crashes many times a day. It stops by many differents ways:
- black, white, blue, orange or green screen and freezes (I need to hold power button to shutdown);
- come back to logon screen;
- reboot (black text on gray brackground screen);
- screen with many multicolor lines;
- just freeze (I need to hold power button to shutdown);
These problems happen with battery (i need to change it (670 cycles)) but also with magsafe. When the MBP crashs, I am not doing special thing (sometimes just on website, sometimes on youtube watching video...) but it is very randomly.
Sometimes I can obtain a Kernel Panic but sometimes not.
You can find at the following link the last kernel panic I obtained http://goo.gl/mPR29q
So I am looking for one solution to deal with this problem.
Thank you in advance

Sounds like you have the mid-2010 problem. There's an issue with the graphics module on that machine. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard within 3 years of purchase, but you're probably outside of that. Some folks have supposedly gotten theirs changed outside of that period, so you can try.

What you can do to use it is download gfxstatus from http:gfx.io and force the graphics to Intel.

Blue screen tint with Yosemite 10.10.1 - MBP 15" Mid 2010 Model 6,2

Who is having this issue, have you resolved it, and how did you do it: Coinciding with Yosemite 10.10.1. my entire screen has begun to take on a blue tint. This was not an issue with 10.10.0. This is a MacBook Pro 6,2 with 4GB system RAM. Graphics is with built-in Intel HD Graphics (and standard 288MB VRAM), and the standard NVidia GeForce GT330M graphics in PCI (and 256MB VRAM).
The blue cast appears when using Microsoft Outlook 2011 (back to normal when it quits), Adobe Photoshop CS6 (sometimes yes, sometimes no), and intermittently when running Firefox or Safari (where the blue cast seems to coincide with invoking plug-ins). All of these applications are up to date.
Attempts to resolve this include:
1) Downloaded and installed the latest software updates for Outlook, Photoshop, Firefox and Safari. Made no difference.
2) System Preferences -> Displays -> Color -> Calibrate. I initially thought that the Color Sync profile had been corrupted, but the color was so 'off' that my attempt to manually recalibrate the screen could not go far enough. So I abandoned this.
3) System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Automatic Graphics Switching. Checking Automatic Graphics Switching works, but un-checking it and the blue cast comes back immediately.
4) Running Disk Utilities -> Repair Permissions. Didn't work.
5) Cleared all caches using Onyx: Worked for 10 minutes, then blue came back
6) Reset PRAM: Worked for two days, now the blue is back.

Hi, I also have had this issue on my MBP 15' Mid 2015 but not since updating to Yosemite.
Recently I have upgraded the optical drive to a SSD with a fresh install of Yosemite and everything was working well until I installed Photoshop & Dreamweaver CC along with the latest Java. When I opened Dreamweaver for the first time the screen switched to a blue tint but reverted when the program was closed. When using the Spotify app, along with the blue tint I noticed some lines randomly distorted on the display.
I installed the above Nvidia driver and also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player after reading on another old discussion there has been an issue with it leaking memory. Maybe there is a similar issue with the latest release? This seems to have fixed my problem, sorry I cannot say which one of the above worked, I completed both steps before restarting. I still need to reinstall a previous version of Flash player so I will get back if I have any updates.

Why is my MBP 13 mid 2010 not waking up and gets hot

My MBP 13" mid 2010 will get very hot and won't wake up after going to sleep. Have to restart using the power button.

plumber2014,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as you. Have you tried resetting its System Management Controller?

Lion freeze at start up mbp 13" mid 2010

I've recently installed Lion on my macbook pro 13" mid 2010. Then it freezed end i never got it back up again. If I start up my mac, the screens just black. Sometimes it freezes when the spinning wheel is visible. If I try to boot with the recovery partition it freezes to. Plus my lion DVD is now stuck in my machine.
Can someone please help!
thanks in advance.
And offcourse my waranty is expired for 2 weeks.

if it is a mid-2010, and you purchased the machine from July 2010 to May 25, 2011, and bought AppleCare, the AppleCare is good to 3 years from date of the computer's purchase. If you haven't bought AppleCare, and it was purchased after May 26, but around June 9th, you still have an opportunity to buy AppleCare now and register it right away. Any hardware repair will likely cost more than AppleCare itself. So you might as well get it.
You can try these methods to eject the disc. Command-S at startup gives you a command line you can attempt it from.
Once you clarify if you can still get AppleCare, do you have the original installer CDs?

MBP, 15", mid-2010, Yosemite, is sluggish!

Hello,
I have read the post below this one "MacBook suddenly started running slow" posted by "stephjonas", and have completed the first step given by Linc as follows.... (also, I checked my battery cycle count which is 262 out of a maximum of 1,000)
               "First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
               Step 1
               This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself,                solve your problem.
               If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web                browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
               Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
               Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
               Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
               ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
               ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that                opens.
               ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
               Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
               The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
               A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the                TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit                window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that."
I completed this step and the anonymized results are as follows:

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NEXT? Thank you all in advance...

"Hacked" is not my terminology, and I don't believe it's intended to be derogatory. What you describe is a perfectly legitimate reason to alter Hosts.
If your Mac still isn't working as expected after uninstalling Intego and Trend Micro, read on. The necessity to have a reliable backup cannot be overstated, since what you describe may be an indication of impending disk failure.
Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to to that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
If your Mac is momentarily unresponsive, consider the following.
Launch the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder. You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu. Select Show Toolbar if it is not already shown.
Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem.
To do that click the Clear Display button in the Toolbar. All previously displayed log entries will be disappear.
Next: Perform whatever actions cause the Mac to exhibit the slow behavior. If the problem is caused by errors logged by the system, the Console window will show them being recorded in system.log.
One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the problem you describe.
Copy and paste those log entries in a reply. If hundreds of the same repetitive messages appear, please edit them before posting. There should be no need for more than a few log entries.
Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

MBP 17" mid 2010 Snow Leopard Native: why not possible to install Snow Leopard in some new Hard disk?It appears "impossibile 'cause you have Mac OS X" 23.1.1."

Guys, I want to install SL in some hard disk. It's the native OS, the one came with the MBP. But after having installed Lion, my MBP doesn't allow me to install from the original dvd of Snow Leopard, telling me "impossible because you have Mac OS X” 23.1.1. istaller".
Someone can help me?

hey thank you for your answers. I've written that I want to install snow leopard in a new hard disk, not over the lion. In other words, I want a hard disk with the faster snow leopard, that was the native OSX of my MBP mid 2010. But using the last procedure you suggested me, the dvd doesn't appear. I repeat, there's something changed in the firmware that blocks snow leopard.
the comunication that appears when I insert the original dvd of SL is something like "impossible to install snow leopard because you have Mac OS X” 23.1.1. istaller".

Graphics glitch Mountain Lion MBP

So I loaded Mountain Lion on my late 2009 MBP and while the computer was fine before the upgrade, afterwards is a different story. Despite the fact I have 8GB of RAM, it seems to be sluggish, but the main problem stems from the graphics on the display. When I go to use any two-finger gesture (about 70% of the time) the screen will flicker and then "tear" and show portions of the screen in random places, if I don't touch it or restart it, it will change to the "snow" or static fuzz look.
This happened shortly after I bought the computer, which I took back to Apple and had them replace the NVIDIA graphics card and I've been fine since. Now the issue, with the newer card, only 30 mins after installing Mountain Lion, has come back.
This graphics card is one of those dual cards, the one that allows for better battery life or better graphic performance.
Any suggestions?

I decided to call Apple Care, the first person (girl) was very helpful, she had me reset my PRAM, do a disk repair and even a full reinstall of Mountain Lion. She told me that if after the install, the problem still persisted, to call back (as she had given me 90 days of support for Mountain Lion). However, when I called back, because the issue still kept happening (surprise), I got a guy, who barely spoke english, which was the first time this has ever happened when I've called Apple. He was very rude and didn't really seem to fully understand what I was trying to explain to him, regardless of the fact that my entire case was on the computer in front of him. After explaining to him that I had one logic board fail over a year ago, that had since been replaced, my computer had been working fine, that is until I installed OS X 10.8. He said that is impossible as this is a hardware issue and Moutain Lion is software. After trying to explain to an "Apple" rep that the software in Mountain Lion contains drivers for "hardware" and that, that could be the issue, he refuted the possibility. I then pointed out that I've posted on the Apple support forums....want to know his reply, you'll love this.
He said and I quote: "We" [Apple] don't reference or acknowledge the forums for issues like this, because our competitors can change their names or make accounts and post false information in our forums, attempting to degrade our products and make us look bad."
Can you believe that?? So regardless of the fact that my logic board has now failed twice in 3 years, he tells me since I don't have Apple Care extended support, I'll have to pay out of pocket. Frustrated and annoyed by the most unprofessional Apple rep I've ever encountered, I hung up the phone and will be making a trip to my nearest Apple retail store (an hour away) this evening. At least I'll have someone who speaks english and I can actually show them the issue first hand, as the computer can't go more than 5 mins without the glitch showing up.
To see if you are having similar issues: Go to YouTube and type this in exactly (or copy and paste it)
"MacBook Pro graphic issue after Mountain Lion install" minue the quotes. It will be posted by me, mtwewerka.
I just thought I'd share this issue with the CSR at Apple with you all, oh, he also said he has never heard of this issue. He said since ML has been released, he's been taking calls for days and I'm the first person that's reported this problem. After reading all of your responses, I can only assume he's lying. However, in case he isn't, if you haven't already, I highly recommend you call Apple at 800-APL-CARE and tell them of your issue so we can get this noticed by a few representatives. Seeing how I run my own tech new blog, believe me, I'll be spreading the word...just not with the same level of hostility as I am on these forums.

Mbp 13 mid 2010 freezes

hi all my mbp 13" late 2010 freezes I have to press the power button to get working again

I just got my mid 2010 Macbook Pro back from Apple for the second repair in two weeks (first they replaced the logic board and then they replaced the harddrive). I was having the computer freezes like you described and having to do a hard restart to unfreeze. I took it into the Apple Store for help. The Apple Genius ran some test and found my logic board needed to be replaced. Thank goodness for Apple Care, because without it the cost of the repair was over $500. Now my screen no longer freezes in sleep; however, I started having kernel panics moments after starting the computer. I took the computer back to the Apple Store 3 days after getting it back from the first repair. The Apple Genius duplicated the issue in the store and sent my Macbook Pro out for repairs. It came back a week later with a new hardrive.I am still experiencing kernel panics, which is weird because before the logicboard repair this never happened; however, not immediately after restarting the computer once the hard drive was replaced.

I recently installed a new SSD and installed Mountain Lion on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and now it randomly crashes sometimes upon waking from sleep. What's wrong?

I have no clue how to diagnose this problem. I've run disk repair but nothing seems to work.
Here is the crash report:

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Issues with Macbook 13 inch (Mid 2010)

So I have been having issues with my Macbook. It has been going on for a week now.. Mostly Youtube is the issue. Some videos will work and some wont. I have updated all the software updates. Firefox, computer update, adobe flash, silverlight. ect. None semed to work. I also downloaded the new OS Mavericks software but since I have 2GB its going slower. My laptop is an older version as well. I have the 10.9.3 version right now. I went to the Apple store yesturday and it seemed fine there, but when I got back home it started again. I kind of want to uninstall the new Mavericks but I'm afraid I will delete all my files and such. If anyone can throughly tell me how to do that, that would be greatly appreciated. Also before doing that I want to uninstall Firefox and I thought I did but when I pull it out of my trash everything is still there and doesnt ask me to intall. If anyone knows how to fix any or all of this please help me. I am not good with this techy stuff!!

The Genius bar or specialists there are on staff and on payroll
so they can suggest a course of action, and diagnose the slow
action of the computer.
Take along your Snow Leopard 10.6 or maybe they can re-install
from their own tech discs the former version of 10.6 but without
your old Snow Leopard applications that came with the MacBook.
Since people here who answer inquiries are not Apple staff and
do not represent Apple Inc, it should be clear that some of us
who volunteer are owners and users of their product but are not
and do not have an affiliation with Apple. This is a user-to-user
discussion help forum; and you can ask as many questions as
you like & in different sections if you have different things to say.
Had you posted in the Mavericks 10.9 area, for example, and said
"How do I revert my Mavericks mid-2010 MacBook to Snow Leopard"
that would be front exposure to people who focus on or know more
about a new latest OS X than a MacBook series (2006 to 2010) era.
Did you re-install Adobe Flash player in your system, and get it to
work past Gatekeeper's watchful security? There is a way to do it.
Anyway, once you revert to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 you could then run
any older applications you had from that era, including some that
will not run in Mavericks or any system past Snow Leopard.
If you have the original grey-label install restore DVD set that came
with your MacBook, that would be the ideal way to revert the OS X.
An "erase and install" should do nicely if you don't want any of the
things you did in Mavericks to survive... Then update to 10.6.8 combo.
Then run Software Update again. Also, then get a Flash player for it.
{You could ask a question directed to Carolyn, or others; I will ignore it.}
Good luck & happy computing!

Trackpad glitchy when charging mbp 13" mid 2010

Hi everyone, i have a mid 2010 MBP 13" and when i am charging it the trackpad becomes completely erratic. Any suggestions? Any easy fix or is this a repair or new charger case? Any other times the trackpad is fine only when charging !! Thanks callum.

This sounds like a job for the genius at the Genius Bar in the Apple Store. Bring your charger with you. Good luck.
Ciao.

Suggest a better graphics card for my mac pro mid 2010

I use my Mid 2010 Mac Pro (not macbook pro) to do very heavy visual / special effects editing for film using the programs Blender, After Effects, Premier Pro and Element 3D. I need a graphics card with at least 3GB of VRAM but I am having a hard time finding one that isn't outrageously priced. I would really appreciate any suggestions for cards that aren't overclocked that would have the above VRAM or greater that would work with my particular Mac Pro. Thanks so much for any help.

How about HD7950 Mac Edition?

Audio Jack Stuck on Input (MBP 13" Mid 2010)

Hello,
The audio jack on my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro is stuck on "input" mode. Whenever I plug in headphones and change the setting to output and try to put a signal through it (like changing the volume using the F11 and F12 keys), the computer freezes and resets the audio jack setting to input again. I know that the headphones are not the problem since they work fine with other MacBooks and my iPhone, and I have tried other headphones and gotten the same result. I'm running OSX 10.9.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello dipp293,
I'd suggest resetting your system's SMC and PRAM.
