Horizontal jumpy lines after update to 10.3.9

Hi. I've found similar posts to this but not exactly what I'm experiencing. I recently updated my 10.3 os x. I'm not even sure which one I had; got the mac about a year and a half ago and hadn't updated. I did about 3 updates, one after another and everything was great. (I've been told, recently that I should be doing updates all along, but I'd always kind of worked on the paranoid assumption 'if it ain't broke...')
Anyway, when I did the last update to 10.3.9, I start getting all kinds of crazy jumping white horizontal lines. Sometimes the screen's almost unreadable, sometimes it's just annoying and headache inducing, but even then, it's really bad. The lines seem to get worse if I move the cursor around or open up more windows.
So I backed some stuff up, and got ready to just install the system again with my restoration disks. I put them in and after I clicked English but before I had clicked go ahead and begin on the next window, my boyfriend said, "Wait!" so I canceled. When I ejected the disk and restarted, the problem was gone.
Great, right. But then, thinking everything was fine, later in the day I turned off the computer. When I restarted again, same problem. I can "fix" this by repeating the "false" installation, but that's a hassel and doesn't seem entirely healthy. My computer was turned off again yesterday, and same thing: start up with the restore disk, then eject it, everything's fine until the next time it's shut down.
So I guess these are my questions? Is this a problem with my updates, with 10.3.9, maybe?
If so, can I go back to 10.3.8?
Should I just go ahead and use the restoration disk all the way? (If so, do I have to wipe everything? Sorry, I feel really ignorant right now.)
Or do I have to buy 10.4?
I mean basically all I do is write and use the net on this thing. I was happy with 10.3.whatever I had before.
Or is this a bigger problem?
As an afterthought, when my mac was brand new, the screen went out. It was still under warrenty then, and mac replaced the screen, or something very important in it.
Thank you for your help in advance. I need this thing everyday, starting bright and early (like 2 hours ago) and am kind of freaking out.
many thanks,
kj

If your screen looks like mine (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/punu/powerbook17/apple_quality.html)run ASAP Apple Hardware test. Your mother board is perhaps dead. I also have those lines.
When I ran Apple Hardware tests I got an on the video memory.
Also, try to connect an external display to check if thoses lines appears on the external display. If yes - bad news - mother board is dead !
Hope not...

Fuzzy lines after update to os x 10.4.3

Saw the answer to this question several months ago, but now that I need it I can't find it in the archives.
Just updated to OS X for the first time. Everything went great. Did the firmware update and installed with out a hitch.
The question- I am getting fuzzy horizontal lines across the screen when I move my cursor. If I remember correctly there is a simple fix. Lil' help out there?
thanks

Click on the words "Inactive plug-in installed" and it should activate Java and run the code from the remote site, provided you have the most up-to-date version of Java installed (as of this time/date that would be 1.7.0_17.)

Cannot update phone/add a new line after updating plan

I updated my data plan to a shared family plan and now would like to upgrade one of the phones and also add a new phone but can't - it says 'order still pending".How long do I need to wait?

If you are trying to do this all online, it won't happen. The new shared plan probably won't go into effect until your next billing cycle. And the Verizon website is notorious for only being able to do one thing at a time. To upgrade the plan, add a line, and get new phones all at once is more than it can handle.
So, what you need to do is call Customer Service (800-922-0204) and complete the changes with a rep on the phone, or go into a store to do the transactions. Or wait for one change to take effect, then make another - but it could take a long time doing it that way.

Why can't I get on line after updating to firefox 16?

Firefox updated to version 16. Since then I cannot access the internet with firefox. Internet explorer works fine. Reverting to a restore point allows firefox to access the internet again. Removing firefox as an excepted program through the firewall and then adding it back did not fix it. I still can't get on line with firefox 16.

See:

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Something wrong with my iPhone 5's camera after update IOS 8.1.2

After update to 8.1.2, this issue appears.
I took a picture before update and it was fine. Then, it appears a weird black line after update.
I don't think its something in the lens.
Here are the pictures

Hi,
>>A CHAR datatype and VARCHAR2 datatype are stored identically (eg: the word 'WORD' stored in a CHAR(4) and a varchar2(4) consume exactly the same amount of space on disk, both have leading byte counts).
Ok, but on the other hands:

Table created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into x values ('hello','hello');

I had this same problem with what's app. There is a new update for the app on the app store which is compatible with ios8. Update the app, or delete it and re-add it. I found a lot of apps weren't compliant with ios8, but after updating everything worked fine.

After updating to v. 6.X.X, vertical lines appear around the cursor when typing in webpages such as Gmail and Facebook that persist, obscuring text and other pixels in the webpage. Didn't happen before this update.

I noticed after updating to Firefox version 6.0.1 that vertical lines the same size and shape as the text cursor remain behind on the screen as the cursor moves (either while typing or by using arrow keys). This is most obvious and annoying in text-heavy applications such as when typing in Gmail, Facebook, and work webmail, for instance. (Interestingly, it's not happening now as I type this.)
This is very annoying because these lines obscure parts or even entire letters in words that have been typed. I thought that it might have been a Firefox customized 'skin' I added at the same time as updating, but I reverted to the default view and the problem remains.

Line 6 tone port gx doesn't work properly after updating to mountain lion, i'm hearing artefacts, how is that possible?

i am using logic 9 and line 6 toneport gx for recording my guitar. on the previous version of OSx everything worked perfect, but now, after updating to mountain lion, i hear noise after i play something. the settings were: input: toneport, output: coreaudio, 44100, buffer 512. now they are the same and i have noise. i've installed the latest drivers for toneport and changed the buffer settings. when the buffer is large, i can play some seconds without the noise but it appears after 15-20 seconds. and when the buffer is small it appears faster. i assume it has to do something with the buffer size but i don't know for sure. any ideas?

I have the same problem after updating to ML. It's unusuable for recording until it gets sorted out.
I think it's a problem at the Line 6 end. They are aware of it, and are working on some patch/fix to address the strange artifact sounds, so hopefully it will be ready soon.

Horizontal lines after rendering?

I have a video that is very 'fast' or theres a lot of movement in it.
After I render it, it becomes very 'line-y' when ever there's quick movement. Basically I can see horizontal tearing lines.
The source footage is not like this.
Is there any special method or codec I can use to avoid this?

Sounds like the video is interlaced. You computer is progressive scan and some cameras shoot interlaced. Older TV's are interlaced and some of the newer one's are both. If the end result is for computer only you'll want to de-interlace the video. If it's for TV only you can probably leave it alone and it should playback fine when you play it on a TV.
I believe to de-interlace you only need to change it when you export to "Progressive Scan". However, you can also de-interlace the clips in your project before you export. I called Adobe tech support about this same thing several years ago and they suggested I do both, de-interlace the clips in the project and when you export it.
You may have seen 1080i and 720p, etc... the P is for progressive scan and the I is for interlaced. I believe the reason for interlaced was because it's less bandwith to send half the image at a time (every other line) than the whole image. So, a broadcast need to use interlaced. But, everything I assume is moving to progressive scan. However, I imagine interlace will always be supported since so many things are interlaced.
Simply play with a small clip by exporting it simply as it is and make a DVD of it, play it and see how it looks on your DVD player. My DVD player actually has a button on it for progressive scan. You may need to change a setting on it or your TV, or it may just play it as is. Then, if you're not happy with the results, try simply setting the export option to progressive scan.
I don't have Premiere installed on this computer otherwise I'd look to see how to de-interlace the clips for you, but it's something easy like right clicking the clips on the timeline or something. I may look later and get back to you on that.
Hope that helps!

After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past. How can I get the flexible orientation back??

After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past. How can I get the flexible orientation back??

I agree with what FoxFifth has said, but I want to add a little to the discussion and put my own twist on the explanation.
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen.
If you are running iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

Add horizontal line after each record

I have 10 records seperated by ID. I m using List in SSRS to show data on report. I need to add horizontal line after first record, then after second record till 10 th record. How do we add this line?
Any help much appreciated.

Hi SQL Insane,
Per my understanding that you have add the tablix into the list and group on the "ID", now you want to add an horizontal line between each record which grouped by the ID like below, right?
If so, please reference to the details information below:
Select the entire rows and Right click to select the Insert row-Inside Group below to add an inside row group
Select the new added inside row group and set properties as below to make sure there is only display the black solid line on the bottom just like to add an horizontal line:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
