Graphics problem on lion 10.7.2

i got a problem with sims 3 on my MBP 13" (early March), Intel HD Graphics 3000. within the game there are texture problems. sims have different colours, it looks very strange. they have colour stripes on their body body, eyes are black with stripes and the stripes are on movement all the time. and there's one big more: assassin's creed 2 and assassin's creed brotherhood won't even start (since the upgrade to lion all characters in assassin's creed 2 have been green and red, so it was pretty unplayable). since the update to 10.7.2 lion works better und programs don't freeze anymore, and in dragon 2 blood is red again (since the upgrade to lion it has been green and blue,), but the new problems are realy annoying. does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
hopefully there's an update coming within the next weeks...

I have the same problem. I also have the following problem : iTunes 10.5 told me that my iPad needed resetting which I started to do and then it errored out on me leaving my iPad stuck. I eventually upgraded to OS5 on my daughters Mac which was running iTunes 10.5 with OS X 10.6.8 but have lost all my apps etc which I presume are on my iTunes . Unfortunately my iTunes will still not let me access my iPad. I haven't dared plug in my iPhone since upgrading to 10.7.2 in case it does the same thing. Help!

MBP 7.1 - Lion 10.7.1 Graphics Problems (Video Example)

Hello!
Just noticed this problem on Lion today. I was able to record it with my iPhone and just uploaded it to Youtube. I have other graphical bugs under Lion on my Macbook Pro 13" C2D 2.4, for example, some folders on Launchpad seem to lag to open a bit and there are a couple more situations where graphical lag is encountered. My battery life seems to be diminished a bit and memory usage is increased (currently have 4GB).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNGAAhxjnw
I just want to share this situation with the community and who knows someone from Apple will actually see this, since I couldn´t find a way to e-mail them this video.
I´m really hoping 10.7.2 fixes most of the many graphical bugs/lags present on Lion.

your monitor definitely didn't like that you were doing that. is it only when you bang the icon on the side of the screen that it does that , or does it do that when you don't?
Looks like it's a constant thing. Meaning, it looks like it's trying to go to a new space, but doesn't, or you have a third party application that is activated when you do that. Are you on a completely clean installation of lion?
orr it could be your video card, in which case there is this fix:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/09/fix-macbook-pro-2010-crashes-kernel-panics-black- screens-in-os-x-10-7-lion/
but never used it so don't know how good it works (research that).
ultimately VEA said it best, if you are still under waranty, go to a store and show them. Have them fix it. Apple will not see this here, it's a community supported forum.
please post your complete computer specs because there are like a million different variations of MBP. you can see the distinguishing characteristics of your machine in > About This Mac > More info, in which it'll tell you the model number.

Graphic problem with OSX Lion - freezing all windows

I try to define my graphic problem with OSX Lion. Simply if you have set for example hot cornes and switch between desktop, all windows etc. the move of switchng windows i chopping and freezing. I dont idea why, but it hapennig since I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp. But the problem is still here after I remove Windows. Cleaning cash doesnt work. Can anybody help me please?

No, it's not Lion. It may be something you installed. If you just bought it you could also take it back to the Apple Store and they may be able to help.

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!

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.

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:

Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer

Hi
Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer
Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
Best Regards

Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

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?

Switchable Graphic Problem AMD & Windows 8.1- Solved

Follow the steps accurately
1. Open This Pc or My Computer and then go to Uninstall or change a program
2. As the list is displayed, you will see Intel Graphic Driver & AMD Catalyst install manager. You have to uninstall it both in express mode so that no other previous setting are available anymore.

Startup problem with Lion OS 10.7.3

Just recently, I've been experiencing a startup problem with Lion. I don't usually have any issues running my Mac, so I'm at a loss why this is happening now.
I have an Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.3. I usually leaving my Mac running all the time and only restart when the need arises. In addition to being my main computer, this mac alsocontrols a MacMini that serves as a music server thru screen sharing.
This past weekend, I restarted my Mac and could not get past the grey screen. The mac chimes, the apple logo appears with the spinning gear, the blue screen briefly appears, but instead of progressing to the desktop it reverts to the grey screen with a repeating cycle of the spinning gear appearing (spins for a while, stops, disappears, reppears spinning, stops, disappears, over and over) - never progressing beyond that stage.
I decided to reinstall the system and things have been fine for the past few days. Today, restarting again resulting in the same problem.
I've tried several things without success. I disconnected all peripherals, reset the PRAM/SMC, ran Disk Utility from a install volume and ran repair and permissions (no problems reported). Tried safe mode startup - a progress bar appeared but never fully progressed and could not get to the desktop.
Recent changes included updating the OS to 10.7.3 and Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 - no recent hardware changes. No bluetooth devices connected.
Any thoughts? Thanks -

Thanks -
I've reinstalled the OS today and am back up and running.
But, since this is twice this has happened within the past week, I'm worried about might be causing this issue - besides bad luck. My Mac is usually rock solid - can't remember the last time I've had to reinstall the OS in the past few generations of OS X.

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!!!
