HT201257 Screen/ Display Problems- maybe hardware related?

Has anyone experienced a problem with their display- where an open window repeats over and over the entire screen (sometimes appearing like random squares) and the only way to correct the display seems to be by opening finder and dragging it across the screen? This often occurs when using CS5 inDesign.
Does anyone have a solution/ diagnosis?
Thanks in advance!

That sort of problem correlates with a graphics Hardware problem.
It is possible that if your graphics card is clogged with dust, blowing out the dust and allowing it to stay cool will resolve the problem, but I would not get my hopes up.
The Apple 5770 works in all Mac Pro models, about US$250. Do not buy a non-Apple version, as it will not show a picture under Mac OS X.

AppStore and iCloud aunthefication problems (maybe hardware related things)

Hi. I have MBP (2006) with broken ethernet port but working wifi. I never woried about it cause I've used wireless everywhere.I had the interface "Ethernet" in the list of interfaces for years but MBP has not seen any cable plugged into it.
But after update to 10.7.x (I didn't really noticed when it had happened) ethernet interface has been missed from the list of interfaces. And at the same time AppStore stoped to work with my apple id with the message "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance". And now after starting iCloud services it doesn't work too: "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account"
My apple id is ok, I've checked it 4 times, everything is verified, I can buy applications and music at iTunes Music Store, authorize and deauthorize computers use it for iMessage on my iPad etc. iCloud works too on my iPad and at the website icloud.com — I can sync everything, backup to iCloud etc. But neither purchases at AppStore nor iCloud features works on my MacBook Pro.
I think its some eth0/eth1 related things, cause most of solutions for broken Apple ID on Macs are: "Remove /Library/Preferences/SystemConfigurations/* then reboot". I did it thosands of times but nothing happens. I tried to reset SMC but it doesn't work too — ethernet interface is still missing, AppStore and iCloud give me strange error messages and doesn't work.

Right - I have tried booting the MacMini using Chameleon. Using these instructions: http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,1123.0.html it boots.
Basically, Chameleon can be made to work if you re-format your HD to use a MBR boot sector. Even the latest Chamelon (Chameleon_2.1svn_r1686_trunk_pkg) can be made to work by using a minimal org.chameleon.Boot config (i.e. not the one it installs by default - use the one in the first link/post as a basis). You can also use Champlist to control your installation settings.
This enables me to change the model number, serial number, bios/efi version etc reported by the system - and you can also do this by manually editing the smbios.plist file
After booting I added relevant information into the settings to simulate a built-in ethernet port, after matching the specific settings for my macmini - but no luck.
I also booted it as a MacBook Air to see if this would negate the need for an inbuilt ethernet port - however no luck either.
Authentication failed in the same way.
Either the information reported by Apple System Profiler, and changed by Chamelon, is surface-level and the 'true' information is still being read by the authentication process or there is something amiss with my 'hackintosh' settings.
I have a few more things to try including:
Booting using Chamelon and then deleting network prefs and seeing if this resets the authentication process on the next boot
Reverting the MacMini to stock macmini1,1 firmware. (Has been updated to macmini2,1 using method at: http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,874.0.html)

No, the magnet used there is too weak to affect the hardware of your tablet.

Screen/display problem

I have a problem with my screen/display on a four year old Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8. Sometimes it goes black but isn't really asleep, just very dark, but I can't wake it up or brighten it. I have to force it to restart. It also gets vertical light patches in the screen, which I can reset using keystrokes, but it still recurs sometimes. This is starting to happen more often. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Could be LED board has a bad back light, logic board is on the way out. Take it to an Apple store, they have a flat repair rate, it's worth a trip ,as they do a diagnostic for free. I had the same issue and they repaired a bunch of stuff for the flat rate, which is about 1/3rd of the cost of the cheapest MBP.

Screen display problem with Lenovo 3000 N100

Hi,
My Lenovo laptop is having a problem with screen display. When i boot the laptop (keeping the screen at 90 degrees to the key board) , there is no display . However, when i tilt it down (lesser than 45 degrees) the display comes back to normal.
In addition, the mystery is that this doesnt happen if do the same after 5 minutes. No matter at what position i have the screen, it works perfect!
Is there a solution for this ? Can some one explain why the display is normal after warming up, but not in the begining (booting) stage.
Senthil.

Lose / pinched wires possibly.

I had to re-seat mine , and I still have to wiggle the upper right corner .
A common issue I here,although I just purchased a second used N100 and the screen has no issures.

Is there a way to fix ipod touch screen display problem with song list?

I was wondering if anybody has had this problem? I have an ipod touch 64gig 5th gen for probably about 2 years. I hardly use it because I have it as a back up ipod until primary one dies. This is the first time I came across this problem. Upon turning on device, the first artist/song list I choose displays correctly. Once I start choosing any other artist/song list afterwards, the display for the 1st artist/song list re-appears. If the song list is only a single song to 3-4 songs it will display correctly. Any other song list I choose that consist more than 5 songs, the first artist/song list re-appears on screen like the display is messed up.
For example: Upon turning on device, I choose Aaliyah with a list of 9 songs displaying.
Upon trying to select a different artist and song, for example I choose Nachtmar with a list of 20 songs.
The Aaliyah with the list of 9 songs re appears in place of the song list I am attempting to choose. The songs play and it works, but the display is incorrect. Why is it doing this? Does anybody have this problem? I have tried resetting and it has currently been updated. I have came across this problem just very recently a couple of days ago. I have had a couple of hard resets requiring to erase all data in the past and I don't want to go that way again because I have about 3,500 songs. I have never experience this problem before in the past. I just want it to display the current list of songs. It's inconvenient having to type in every song while playing in the car instead of being able to easily pick an individual song.

I have this problem too and it drives me crazy. When I view my ipod, I don't want to see a list of the first 8 songs in my ipod library. I just want to see the current song playing. It's like the ipod display goes into some type of "sleep" mode while your music plays,and the display defaults to show the first few songs in your ipod touch library, even though none of those songs are currently being played. I have to take the time to either flip the ipod over a couple of times in order for that list to disappear just to see the current song playing.
This is an example of what I see on my display after the current song begins playing. These are the first songs in my ipod library. To get rid of this view, I have to either shake the ipod or flip it over a couple of times and the current song is now displayed, allowing you to see the current song, also allowing you access to the arrows to either fast forward or playback/reverse. On the display, the songs are in a grid or table format (unable to show that here).

FULL SCREEN DISPLAY problema

Hello everybody!
I've written my first code for J2ME MIDP. I'm learning about paint method of Canvas class.
I put below code in the paint method:
g.drawString("Width: "+Integer.toString(getwidth()),0,0,Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
g.drawString("Width: "+Integer.toString(getheight()),0,0,Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
g.drawArc........ etc...
When I ran that application on my SE K700i, I can see the information of the width and height of the display screen, that is "W=176 H=176".
But when I ran it on my brother's Nokia 3660, I got "W=176" and "H=144".
Last, I ran it on my sister's Nokia 6610, I got only "W=128" and "H=96".
My questions are:
- Can I set it to a defined size, so when we ran it on any types of devices, we get the same size of display screen?
- There is a panel on top of the screen that show the battery and signal indicators, and one on bottom of the screen for command action. Can I set the application ran FULL SCREEN (no any panels)?
Thanks very much for any reply!

Hi,
There are no standard methods available for scaling images.
But, when you are using TiledLayers and moving Sprites, then you just can keep the images the same. On a phone that has a large screen, you just 'see' more of the game. When you're using a phone that has a smaller screen, then you just 'see' less of the game screen.
There are tutorials and other documents available on the web describing the creation of games using TiledLayer, Sprite and GameCanvas.
But, don't use (create) images that are as large as your screen. It will cause an attack on your device's heap memory and it will introduce inconvenient problems when running the game on different devices with different screensizes...
Good luck!
Cheers,
Jasper

Screen Display Problem in Windows 7 OS

Hello Gurus,
I have a scenario for creating sub screen area in sales order 'Additional data B' tab.I created screen and its working fine.But problem is if open sales order in Windows XP system its displaying screen properly,but if i open same thing in windows 7 screen is not showing screen completely. Sub screen is displaying only 70%. I thought it is issue on SAP GUI side.But am not able to find a solution.Please help to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Chittoor.

Hello.
As Miguel mentioned, it might be because of different screen resolutions.
I feel this is one of the drawbacks in SAP screen developments. There is no way we can develop a screen that looks uniform across all screen resolutions which is possible with web application programming.
I would suggest you to develop the screen in a resolution that is most common across PCs and layout various screen elements from the left end of the screen.

Screen display problems, LCD?

I bought an iPhone 5 six months ago from Roger's Wireless and I also paid for the application of a screen protector, for a long time both of these worked very well and I had no problems. The other day I put my iPhone into my locker at work and came back a few hours later to find that two spots had appeared on the display. One was near the top of the screen and it looked like a dis-colored splotch while the other one, that was near the bottom of the screen, looked like someone tried to scratch the screen with a dull object . When I turn off the display and examined the outside of the phone there is no scratches or any other physical damage to the phone, I think it may have something to do with the LCD screen. Also, my locker was locked so I know no one was fooling around with it although humidity or something could have played a factor but I'm not entirely sure. The spots are relatively small but pretty annoying, before this my iPhone was in perfect shape . I'm not sure if I am covered by the one year warranty because my phone may have water damage (although I am not sure). I remember a few months back dropping it into a deep pile of snow and when I took it out it was pretty wet, but still continuted to work perfectly find. Regardless, I'm pretty sure thats accident caused the water damage indicators in my phone to be set off . I looked all over the internet and there is different ways of taking off the actual LCD screen and replacing it yourself but I think I would much rather get this done by a professional. I have also heard that the spots may go away eventually. I am not sure if I am going to send my phone in right away but any help at all would be awesome. Thanks!

Do not attempt to work on your iPhone yourself, doing so will result in Apple refusing all further support for you. Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar or Authorized Service Provider for evaluation. Water damage will result in an out-of-warranty status...replacement will be $229 in the US for an iPhone 5.

Screen/display problems

I have a xMII web page (irpt) that will sometimes cause the display/screen to go crazy (don't know how else to describe) - no way to recover besides killing the browser window via the task manager. Not sure if it is an xMII problem or if a problem with my html??? The page that this happens on has ~10 applets in 10 different divs that are not displayed until a user clicks on the appropriate checkbox to refresh and display. Has anybody seen something like this?

Hi Sam,
I have seen issues in the past when applets are placed within div tags, especially if the the height and width are expressed as a percentage as opposed to defining the height and width in another measurement such as pixels (see the xMII Best Practices Guide on the xMII Wiki).
You could also consider an alternative technique - the iframe - which I have had better success using to hide and show applets.
Kind Regards,
Diana Hoppe

Ipad black Screen display problem?

Having a problem today. My iPad fell off my desk (with its case on) and when I picked it up & tried to unlock it i was completely black. I connected it to itunes and did a reset but it's still black it actually talks now and any kind of display or the apple logo appears very briefly (like a second or less) but disappears ?

You could always try the general steps of restarting, resetting, and then trying to restore but Im thinking that this is most likely a hardware issue so you'd be better off visiting an Apple Store first to see what a Genius rep thinks it could be.

System problem - MAYBE OSX related...?

I have no definitive answer or resolution thus far for this
problem in the forums and wanted to re-summarize it here, one more time, to see if anyone has
any other suggestions before i toss in the towel on self-repair efforts and invest in Apple Service.
Problem:
On a dual MDD G4 1.25, which i normally boot/use OS 9 on)
there is now a system 'hang time' of anywhere from 15-25 secs. in various circumstances including:
On boot-up, just after the Finder has loaded, I can move the mouse cursor but the Mac won't respond to clicks for up to 15-20 secs. Then, the "buffered clicks" get executed at once.
This hang time also occurs within certain applications, and on startup of IE Explorer there is an abnormal delay between the Open command and completion of startup cycle(opening to Home Page).
At first it appears a system freeze, but then ultimately system interactivity resumes eventually.
This machine is on a high-end Tripp-Lite power conditioner in a recording studio.
The problem seemed to begin after a day where i had multiple power fluctuations/outages requiring cold reboot several times.
I have swapped out both 512 Dimms and tried running with each separately and the problem remained.
TechTools has been run, OSX Permission Repairs run/re-run..
and i've done an OS 9-only "restore/reinstall" of that
System. I also ran a defragmentation off of techtools.
Memory 'tested' as okay.
My internal HD is a 160g, one partition.
Since the problem occurs within OS 9 and i did reinstall that system, i would tend to think that rules out the System.
I can't detect any similar problem under OSX!
Things tried that didn't resolve it:
Emptying Servers Folder in the System Folder. Desktop Rebuild, PRAM/NVRAM resets, VM Off, Extensions OFF restart, (no change), Startup Items Folder/Prefs Folder EMPTIED and restart; no change. All Devices (USB/Firewire & Cable Modem, Keyboard/Mouse) disconnected/Restart; no change.
MemTest run on Dimms; Reported as OK.
Is there any point in reinstalling Sys software given all
this, or any ideas on what else to try?
Thanks,
Mike

Ron, I did, (conflicting opinions about Norton notwithstanding) run a Volume/Directory test from NDD (it is
a cumbersome process given that Norton must be on a separate computer and the machine in question must be in target-firewire mode to "access" the OS 9 System Folder - since the Norton app will not startup on the MDD machine...
"Apparently," it was able to process a test and no errors
were reported after running it, or, Tech Tools, on that System Folder.
I appreciate the idea. Not sure if there's an easier way to 'get at' the folder off a Norton Utilities disk as long as it resides in the peculiar dual-boot environment which presents a variety of challenges for anyone seeking to run any type of OS 9 diagnostics from a non OSX-based startup disk... not to mention the screwy reinstall/restore configuration of this particular Apple incarnation's install disk "set."
To put it bluntly, Mac really went out of its way to discourage any OS 9 loyalists with their "last OS 9 machine"
--but i digress....
Thanks
Mike

6800 Problem maybe Motherboard related

Ok im just going to get straight into it....
I recently replaced my built by ATi 9800 non pro for a brand new BFG 6800GT.
So i bring it home about 2 days ago, reformat to make sure all the old drivers are gone, installed win xp, then sp2 (w/ DirectX 9.0c), then my Chipset/AGP drivers and finally my video card (61.77) and soundcard drivers.
So far so good...
I run 3dmark and get some very good scores (3dmark03: 10,900 / 3dmark01: 19833)
So next i install call of duty and thats where the problem begins...
Terrible and i mean TERRIBLE performance, my 9800 non pro beats out my GT in alot of situations. The biggest problem is the FPS dropping randomly from about 125 to 30 then getting choppy then going back up to normal (On LAN and online servers).
The problem only seems to be occuring in OpenGL / Quake3 Engine games.
So from there i went and downloaded the 65.73 and 65.76 drivers, tested them both (After uninstalling and running driver cleaner) still no luck.
From there i tried all the drivers between 60.xx - 66.xx and still no change.
So finally i run live update 3, get all the new updated mobo drivers and flash my BIOS to the latest version and still terrible FPS drops and random choppyness.
At this point im almost ready to return the 6800GT and buy a X800 Pro and see if that works which i have a chance to tommorow (Friday).
If you know anyway to fix this or what the problem might be or if i should just buy the X800 please let me know asap.
My system specs are below in my sig
Thanks,
Phourstar
*EDIT: Forgot to add I've tried playing with AA/AF off and Vsync off and still bad results, i currently have everything set to low detail in my games and 800x600 no AA/AF and vsync off *

Hi
there are several things that can cause problems some which can be solved easily and some not so easy. Ive heard many problems with BFG ultras but not so many with the GT's but i suggest your first port of call should be BFG to see if they have a new BIOS for your card as they had to release one for the ultra.
Other options to try are ... turn OFF fastwrites in the mobo BIOS , raise the agp aperature size to 256Mb , make sure nothing else is on the same power cable plugged into the GT , increase case ventilation or leave side of case off while testing as the 6800's throttle back if they get too hot , or trade in for a standard GT not a pre overclocked one from BFG
thats all i can think of right now ..
best of luck

Hiding the screen display

hi folks,
I have an issue, I am executing a report program , at the end of which a screen gets displayed and the module pool program is MP400000 which in turn calls another include program MP400030 within this include program there is a perform statement which Calls an transaction screen.
CALL TRANSACTION 'PB60' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
I need to hide this screen from display. I do not want this screen to be displayed.
Can I just comment it? because i want the action to be perfromed but no screen to be displayed.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance
Vinu

I did that but I found out that it is an include program and tracked back to the main module pool program MP400400 (which is screen) displayed for infotype 4004 (related to recruitment). it does not have any executable program It looks like it is a dynamic screen.
How can i control that?
Thanks
Vinu
