Have you experienced green or multi-colored "PIXEL RAIN" on your screen?

http://www.nikolaislouis.org/applecinemadisplaypixelissue.jpg
Anyone else with this issue? Seems to only happen when booted from 10.4.3, but not with previous versions of 10.4 or with 10.1.x

The first time I saw it... I thought it was a problem... after the second time... I found shutting down, unplug/re-plugging, the display connector and power cord, and restarting made it go away.
My experience showed me that it's probably a loose connection issue - I've seen it on a Dual 2.5 G5 w/30" Cinema Display a couple times when working on it. I believe the card is the 6800 256MB. I haven't seen it in months - the G5's run on OS 10.3.x through to 10.4.2 - so, I doubt it's the software. I wouldn't loose sleep over it unless it happens a lot - and that's after you make sure all your connectors are clean.
I hope that helped.

    You’ve tried to open a JPG as a catalog and LR can’t do that, but it also doesn’t know what to do, now.
    Try to delete your preferences file, which is where LR remembers what catalogs it’s opened, and then, hopefully, you’ll be able to open your actual catalog, again.  The location of the preferences file for LR3 is here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lighroom-3.html
    I think you got into this situation by dragging-and-dropping a JPG image onto LR’s shortcut.  LR opens catalogs not images, so when you drag-and-drop an image onto LR’s shortcut it tries to open that image as a catalog, and it can’t.
    Newer versions of LR won’t even try to open an image as a catalog, instead of getting stuck like yours is.
    I have some vague memory of your situation not being easy to get out of, so maybe deleting the preferences file won’t actually fix it.

  • Have you experienced this audio set-up: Focal Twin 6 Be

    We just downloaded a movie from Itunes but the picture is completely scrambled. Audio is fine but all you can see are funny color pixels on the screen..how do we fix this?

    The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case. 

  • Have you experienced any discomfort using the screen?

    I am looking to buy a second-hand TiBook, but I am just wondering if anyone has experienced any discomfort using these screens, whether short-term or long-term.
    Does it cause your eyes to go red or blurry vision watching the TV afterwards?
    Thanks!

    Kind of a video geek here. Have had an Apple TiBook for over three years, Also have several other computers, flat screen tvs and even a home video projector for movies. The 15.2 Screen in the powerbook is in my opinion fabulous. If you're anything like me, you need to set up the video calabration close to red, not blue, This gives warmth and deapth not found on many laptobs. The more blue, the higher the color tempture and the more one is subject to fatige.
    I use mine 8-9 hours a day and have no problem watching the ballgame at night.
    good luck

  • Have you exchanged a MacBook with dead pixels?

    Everything was going smooth with my MacBook - too smooth...
    My MacBook is developing dead pixels. I've had it for about 18 days and initially the display was perfect but now it seems that fabled mythical beast, the dead pixel monster, is eating my pixels.
    Does anyone know what the official policy is for dead bright pixels? Has anyone actually exchanged a MacBook with dead pixels? If you did get yours exchanged how many dead pixels did it have?
    Do you think I am better off to keep the MacBook for a while (wait untill the supply catches up a bit) and then return it - or do I need to deal with the issue within the first 30 days?

    things were going smooth with my machine until the screen went black. not a doubt in my mind that the inverter was faulty. so that's a mfg. defect right.
    the problem is that apple (like so many companies these days) does not want you bringing a dead/faulty product into their store to just "swap it out."
    they're going to want you to send it in and all that fun stuff. normally i wouldn't care so much, but i'm now waiting on a technician to call me back and tell me what to do with the machine - and i'm traveling on friday. mbpro was supposed to be coming with me as it's loaded with all my work for a project. grrrrrr.

  • QUESTION: Have you implemented solutions involving multi segment item numbe

    My dear customers and colleagues,
    My name is Kannan Tarakad. I am from the order management product strategy team, at Oracle, responsible for order management products. I am collecting information on the usage of multiple segment item numbers, to make some key development decisions. If you have enabled multiple segments of the item number flex field, I would like to hear from you. I would like the following information:
    1. Broad Customer industry (E.g Hi-tech, industrial manufacturing, whole sale distributor etc..)
    2. Release implemented
    3. Broad business flow (E.g. order to cash, procure to pay etc..)
    4. Key reason for enabling multiple segments of item number
    5. Customer name
    I look forward to your prompt response.
    Many thanks.
    Kannan

    We are using version 6.1 with apache web server set up to serve images. We compress the CSS and javascript but can't figure out if it is possible to compress the dynamic html (should be possible) or how to set apache mod_deflate to compress this content.
    ALUI 6.1 has built in compression if you use .net only, does not apply to the java version.
    Are you using mod_delate? I would suggest you investigate it if you are not already since it is easy to at least compress the javascript and CSS which can serve to drop your initial page size down from 350k best case to around 80k.

  • Battery Drain Issue - Have You Experienced This Issue

    Greetings,
    I am having a power problem with my Touch, and I am curious to know if anyone else is having similar experiences.
    I will use my Touch, getting the battery level down to between what appears to be between 20% and 40%. I either put it in sleep mode, or turn it off. A few hours pass. When I then attempt to turn it on, it does not respond. I connect it to a charger and no charging message/battery icon are displayed. I then connect it to my computer, but iTunes does not launch, and my computer does not recognize it as being connected. I let it sit for a few hours (today it was approx. 9 hours), press the sleep button, and the battery icon appears, with a thin strip of red, and the lightning bolt (charge me now!) symbol.
    At that point I can connect it to either a charger or my computer and it responds normally, indicates that it is charging, and iTunes detects it. When iTunes does launch it displays a message stating that it wants my permission to send failure information to Apple. when I elect to view the files, I see a folder under Apple Computer\Logs called CrashReporter. This folder contains files designated as CRASH files.
    As I am on my second Touch, for this same problem, I suspect that this is not an isolated situation. I will start exercising better power management routines, but this would seem to be a power problem that Apple needs to address. I can't even begin to imagine this happening on an iPhone.
    Any input or insights would be great.
    TIA,
    Scott

    Please disregard the platform listed at the bottom of my post. I am running on a P4-based PC, with XP Pro and all the updates. I changed those before I posted my original note, but it appears not to have been passed on to the final post.

  • Have you experienced rendering problems with Adobe Web Fonts?

    Used PT Sans for body text and PT Sans Bold for headings. The Bold font displays properly on iMac and iPad, but the letter spacing is shot when viewed on Android 4.0.4 (Samsung Galaxy SII). I checked that I hadn't emboldend the characters, and when I changed the font to Hammersmith it displayed correctly on all three devices.
    Not many font families in Adobe Web Fonts, where ther is a Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic.
    Has anyone experienced similar problems`/

    Hi Zak
    I've sent the URL and details of a possible cause of the problem.
    The most affected page has small thumbnail images pasted into the text. I
    set it up this way because although they were aligned outside of the text
    but ranged with the headings, when viewed in the browser they had dropped
    and lost their position. Pasting inside the text box and using text wrap
    seemed the best solution. The font Hammersmith isn't affected, only PT Sans
    Bold.
    Unfortunately, Muse doesn't use multiple columns, which allow text flow.
    Kind regards,
    Jerry

  • In a slidewhow in iPhoto '11, can you alter the font size, color, and alignment of your descriptions?

    Putting together a slide show in iPhoto versoin '11 and want the descriptions I wrote to show up on the images!  No worries, simple to do!  However, I don't like the font color, alignment of text, and size of text.  Is this a fixed thing and can't be changed?  I have looked everywhere to try to alter this info!  I do see you can add a text over each photo...however I've already added it into the descriptions and want to try to get around re-entering all the info!! Also that text has its limitations!!! Still can't seem to give that the alignment I want!!
    I am NOT u sing my iPad for this...as it states below.  It can't even use this basic program!!

    Hi Teri.
    You certainly can change the "None" style but I think it is not good to leave text in topics with no style assigned to it. When assigning things like bullets using the formatting toolbar icon it applies a "None" style forcing you to select a style (e.g. Normal). See here for further details (look in the RH8 section).
    If you want to change the "None" style, expand the "Other" styles section of your CSS file. In there is a "Background + Text [Body]" style that can be changed. It is this style that is used by the "None" style.

  • How do you get the time and weather to appear on your screen at all times?

    I was told you can easily do that just as shown on the photo they have of the Droid Incredible on there wireless phone purchase page.
    Anyone know how to do this and can recommend the app to do this also.  I tried installing an app that said it is installed but I can't find it on my phone either.  Thx.

    Hi, I ended up installing the one you suggested but how to you get it up and running.  I have an icon but I can't figure out what to do with it now.  I thought it would just show up automaticaly.....
    Go to page you want to add item to and press and hold, select widgets from list and scroll and select Beautiful Home and this will give you the clock on thay page... You also have a number of extras widgets you can choose from in list... Also you can press and hold on item once on page a move them around on page where you want.
    Let me know if you need more help and I will see what I can do..

  • Anyone have a problem returning one with stuck pixels?

    I have about 5 stuck pixels on mine. I am deciding if I should bring it back or not. Has anyone returned it for that reason? Did you have a problem?

    hello. I am also affected by the stuck pixel issue. I have about 3 that really stand out. At first, I was very frustrated with this and I was going to take it back. After a while, I realized that, unless they are smack dab in the middle of your screen, they aren't there if you don't pay attention to them. If your screen doesn't have the negative black effect, then you shouldn't return it. Plus, Apple has a pixel policy, although I don't know it. You may have a problem if the Genius doesn't see them.

  • Have you had trouble connecting to a WebDAV server over the Internet?

    When I create a Dreamweaver site that accesses files via
    WebDAV on a server that I have to reach across the Internet,
    Dreamweaver behaves very poorly and often cannot synchronize an
    entire site's files without failing.
    Have you experienced problems like this?

    Simple in the end.
