I need some help re lines on start up screen.

Hi I have a mac pro 2.8 2 x quad processor running snow leopard.
When I boot up horrible lines come up and wont start my mac. I have tried booting from cd/dvd but it freezes and wont let me start up.
Don't know f disk is corrupt or if another hardware problem. Please can someone help.

does "horrible lines" mean horrible lines of text or actual lines (like you'd draw with a pen and a ruler) across the display? If the latter you most likely have a hardware problem (could be a number of things, but is most likely a bad graphics card).  If it's lines of text, what kind things does it say near the end?

  • Need some help with my xorg.conf My screen "flickers".

    Hello. I have a problem with the refresh rate on my screen. I don't know what values to use in my xorg.conf.
    It's a lenovo thinkpad x61 (not tablet).
    The problem is that when something is moving on the screen, the image flickers and I get some lines across the screen (horizontal only). Like 1part of the screen doesn't follow the other part of the screen.

    I've tried that xorg in both kubuntu&Arch.
    It worked in kubuntu but not in Arch.
    I've tried alot of media players and both intel&vesa drivers.
    Tried Xgl (don't know if it's working) but there is no change.
    Maybe if the codecs are bad of the way the media players handles the files.
    I need help with this. Or else I can't live with arch.
    This is my xorg.conf atm:
    # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
    # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
    # values from the debconf database.

    Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.

    Need some help! My iPhone 4 cannot play music through it's built in speaker, only with headphones. I also cannot adjust volume, it only shows "ringer". I really do not know when it starts. I already clean the jack and dock,reset it and still cannot be fixed. I updated it to IOS 7.1.1 recently only, does it have connection with the inconvenience I am experiencing right now? What should I do? Thanks!

    If the file was not originally from iTunes, you'll need to redownload it from it's original source or rerip it from the CD.  Files can sometimes go bad and become corrupted.  As to how or why that happens, there are a number of ways.
    What format are the problematic tracks in? Have you tried converting them to another format in iTunes?

  • My iPhone 3g has 2 white horizontal lines i don't know where did it came from. I turn it off then on but its still there. the lines spreads everyday. I dont know how to fix it. need some help guys.

    my iPhone 3g has 2 white horizontal lines i don't know where did it came from. I turn it off then on but its still there. the lines spreads everyday. I dont know how to fix it. need some help guys.

    If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
    If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
    If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
    Let me know!

  • Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

    need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.  Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen?  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

    Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
    In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
    So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
    How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
    Thanks,
    Wei

    Hi Hussein,
    Thank you for the response.
    Application release is 11.5.10.
    Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
    Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
    The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
    This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
    Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

  • Stupidly partition hdd on window7 in IMAC A1311, and now I can not use the IMAC...... Need some help

    Just bought a used IMAC A1311 core 2 duo, and there are something called Bootcamp and Window7 on it, and i log in to Window7 and stupidly partition hdd on it, and i think it has formatted everything. now the window7 is error and I do hold (alt) key when I start up the machines , it show only the window7 hdd  and i don't see any Recoery HDD........what should i do? Really need some helps right now.........

    There are several models that use A1311. So I don't know exactly what model you have. If you received installer discs with the computer, then you will need to boot from Disc 1, erase the drive, and install Snow Leopard. Some models in the A1311 line can use Internet Recovery:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Need some help and guidance please!

    Hi everyone,
    I desperately need some help because I am at my wits end.   In September I purchased a Compaq Presario CQ60-450US.  Shortly after purchasing, I fresh installed Windows 7 Professional.  Recently I decided to tried to dual boot ubuntu on the machine only to find that the installation failed because of CD read error.  I know for a fact that the CD is not the issue because I have used this CD three other times to install ubuntu thus I came to the conclusion that the CD/DVD drive was bad.  
    I called HP support to get a new CD/DVD drive replaced only to spend 2 hours on the phone with a individual that decided to troubleshoot first trying to install ubuntu remotely (I informed the indiviual that the remote session would end), then by playing a DVD and "skipping throughout" the movie.  He/she said that she could see no issue.  (no diagnostic was run)I informed the individual that I had issues with buring as well.  He/she proceeded to go online and install software asking me to demonstrate the issue after which the call got dropped mysteriously.
    I called HP support back and told them that I am having an issue now burning.  They proceed to connect remotely and look at the software the previous support individual downloaded and said that the software was not supported by HP.  I informed the individual that I give permission to install any software needed to troubleshoot but the individual said that I could not be suppoted because I wasn't using the OS installed by HP.  I was instructed to recover my machine to the OS that was installed with the machine if I was to continue to get support.
    I informed the individual that the drivers and software are the same for either OS considering the CD/DVD rom is a plug and play device.  The individual refused to help and told me I had lost my warranty because of my decision to install an OS directly from Microsoft or a third paper vendor. 
    That is where I stand.  HP is refusing to give me support because I am not running their Vista Home edition even though my issue is hardware.  I cannot find any warrent information stating that I need to have the original operating system installed on the machine to receive support.   Can anyone point me to a reputable division that can help me with my issue?  I feel I was just thrown aside so that they don't have to initiate a repair.  If not has anyone filed a compalint against this outrageous support requirement?   

    Dear ndjumpball,
    I would like to say that I have some good -- or at least encouraging -- advice.  Regretfully, I do not.  I had issues with my dv7 practically since purchasing it a year ago specifically so I would have a reliable computer for school.  My first problem: I bought my laptop a mere 7 weeks before HP started offering their free upgrade to Windows 7.  Consequently, I was forced to purchase the full installation retail or continue to deal with the wonton freezes and system failures that inevitably occurred while I was working on homework -- courtesy of HP's installation of Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  Thankfully, I was able to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit through a significant student discount offer from Microsoft, and I had my new OS downloaded the evening of October 23, 2009; I had to give their servers time to free up, since it seemed like everyone and their dogs were also downloading what the reviews posted on CNET and PC World touted as being more reliable.  I recall (I can't remember exactly which site this appeared) the statement, "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been from the beginning."
    I was all excited and happy now that I had a laptop for school that had everything I was looking for:  decent size hard drive, a fair amount of RAM, great 17.3" display with awesome colors, and a CDRW/DVDRW/Blu-Ray disk drive in the bay.  Not only was I very satisfied with the hardware; it also came with a decent host of software that are thought was pretty cool, too.  It came with CyberLink's DVD Suite 6 that I could activate simply by touching a soft button above the keyboard.  Aside from Vista Home Premium crashing on me at the most inopportune times, I was exceedingly happy with my $1000 purchase and investment.  Then came the "upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit...Because I didn't have a "compatible" version of Vista, I had to do a full ("custom") install.  In other words, I lost all of the cool features I originally bought the machine for in the first place...no more cool one-finger's brush software activation (still don't have that working), and HP Chat Support told me the same thing they told you.  The following is a direct copy/paste quote from an email response I received from HP Total Care:  "In order to help you relevantly I would like to request you to please revert back to Vista operating system and check whether the issue is persisting or not.  If the issue is still persisting after reverting the operating system back to vista then we need to perform system recovery."
    After pursuing my case for 6 months -- finally getting my case escalated to two HP Customer Care Case Managers in Texas/Oklahoma -- the best "customer support" I received was what I'm sure was a truly heartfelt and sincere apology...  Oh, neither case manager was "able" to send me either the true upgrade disks that would have preserved the features purchased, nor were they willing to send me a stand-alone installation of the CyberLink’s DVD Suite 6 that is currently offered with the HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series.  (In massive frustration and anger, I bought the CyberLink’s DVD software - $100 I didn't have to spend on something I had already bought...)
    A month later (late March), MY CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blu-Ray drive stopped working.  After an hour online with Customer Care, I had finally convinced the rep that the drive was working fine after my ditching Vista Home Premium, and that its failure had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 Pro.  After giving the guy my credit card number as security, I had a replacement drive shipped to me.
    My personal recommendation:  clearly state that the hardware failure had nothing to do with whatever software or OS you chose to install.  Bottom line:  your computer is only 8 months old and is still covered under warranty, they can replace the defective part, or you can return the entire machine.  You probably want to be the "Nice Guy" but you need to remind them that you have other brands available to purchase.
    I don't know if that helps or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent!  :-)

  • Need some help...in need of a different way.

    Hi, I'm new to Java and need some help. I have 2 questions that are similar in nature.
    1st Question:
    In a program that I'm writting I have a do-while loop which at the end brings up a dialog box that asks the user to enter '1' for 'Yes' or '2' for 'No' to continue.
    I would rather have the option of having the user enter 'y' or 'Y' for Yes and 'n' or 'N' for No.
    Here is what I have currently:
    int x;
    String data;
    do{
    //Blah blah code
    data = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter 1 for Yes or 2 for No");
    x = Integer.parseInt(data);
    }while(x == 1);
    x++;
    2nd Question:
    In another part of my program I have a Case statement that asks the user to enter a number or a letter from a list of choices. They can enter '2' , 't', or 'T'.
    I would rather have all of this in an if-else chain. Is this possibe? if so, how would I do it.
    Thanks.

    I would rather have the option of having the user enter 'y' or 'Y' for Yes and 'n' or
    'N' for No. You can test the first letter of whatever the user inputs like this:String response = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter (Y)es or (N)o");
    response = response.toLowerCase();
    if(response.startsWith("y")) {
        // the user entered something starting with y
    } else if(response.startsWith("n")) {
        // the user entered something starting with n
    } else {
        // what are you going to do?
    }JOptionPane also has versions that would allow yes/no buttons. Eg, see:
