Icon become pixelated with rough edges after 10.6.5 update.

Hi, I have this annoying problem after the 10.6.5 update, my icon at the dock appears to be pixelated (rough edges), and all the pictures/text that I view in facebook has this issue as well, not only facebook but all the images basically.
During the time of this posting, I realized this issue has extended to video. I have tried to reinstall mac OS X, repair permission, and do another round of update using the 10.6.5 combo. But doesn't seems to solve the issue here.
Any kind soul can advise on this?
Thank you.

After trying out all the possible resolutions (repair disk permission, reinstallation..etc) it all didnt work out.
I decided to try a fresh installation: it yielded 2 results which i wish to share, don't consider this to be a resolution to the problem but my mere experience to resolution.
1. I first deleted the partition and install a fresh copy from apple disc. Boot up to mac, and install the 10.6.5 combo, after restarted, problem persist, all the icon, text, video still appeared to be pixelated. I'm not doing the installation in full resolution mode in this attempt but 1920x1080. After this has failed. I decided to give it another try in my max screen resolution.
2. Same process goes, i deleted the partition and begin a fresh installation, after booted in to mac, the auto update ran by itself, and i was prompted for update. I'm trying something a little bit different this time by not using the combo update to install the 10.6.5 but letting the auto update take place by itself. Restarted after installation finished....
ALL ARE BACK TO NORMAL. NO MORE PIXELATED SCREEN.
I'm not certain of what is the cause. But i would like to think the new update might not handle lower screen resolution well.

Why is my rendered color corrected movie pixelated with jagged edges after rendering?

Hello All,
I am new short film movie producer and have just started using Adobe Premiere CS6 and Audition CS6. Comparing my flat footage before adding it to a sequence and color correcting it and rendering it, it looks fair. But after all these transitions it now looks pixelated along with very jagged edges. This is my first short film for my first client and I am at my witts ends! I have tried to copy the sequence and transfer it to a new sequence with differnt settings comparing the pixel aspect ration, fps, trying to match the clips specs and I am so stuck. Can anyone please offer any suggestions or let me know if there are procedures I have overlooked. Thanks Adobe Community.
Michael Diaz

Let's back up a step - what camera do you use? If it's an HDV model, then yes you have anamorphic footage. Simply choose an HDV sequence preset to match. If your camera shoots 720p or full 1920x1080, those are square pixel (1.0) formats and are not anamorphic (anamorphic does NOT mean widescreen, it means "stretched to widescreen" basically).
In any case, drag a clip to the New Item button for best results until you get more educated and confident about the different formats you may be working with.
If you copied and pasted the contents of the SD sequence into an HD sequence, all filters and effects you had applied before should remain intact and not need reworking, except possible for titles and things involving scaling (since the size has changed).
As for exporting, you typically will NOT want an anamorphic export, except for widescreen DVD. You will not see anamorphic mentioned though, just choose "MPEG-2 DVD" and an appropriate widescreen preset and Adobe knows what to do from there. For web/computer viewing, best to avoid anamorphic footage, since many players assume 1.0 PAR and do not adjust the image for non-square pixels. So if working with 1440x1080 footage, and exporting to web or YouTube for instance, export as 1920x1080 (1.0) or 1280x720 (720p) so the viewer sees the proper 16:9 output, or the image may be squished otherwise!
Thanks

HT204490 OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 Update - I had problems with my iMac after installing the previous update and I removed that update. Have there been problems associated with this update ?

OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 Update - I had problems with my iMac after installing the previous update and I removed that update. Have there been problems associated with this update ?

I've been using it on all of my computer without any problems. Remember you won't see any positive comments here. Everyone here is complaining about a problem. If you want a good experience with any upgrade or update first make a backup from which you can boot the computer. If you are installing an update, like 10.10.3 for example, always download and install the Combo Updater - OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update. Before you install any update or upgrade over an existing system you should do this:Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Icons become white with grid

OOn my WiFi only iPad, about half of the icons are white with grid lines. I am able, though, to access the sites they represent. How do I get the app logos to return

How is the available space on your iPad? Aside from that, you might try powering down and restarting.

Can not start up with internal HD after 10.9.4 update

After installing 10.9.4 update, can no longer startup from internal HD on late 2012 iMac, 2.9 ghz, 8 gb ram, 1 TB internal
Used Disk Utility to starup from external 10.9.3 drive and that works fine.
Loaded the manual 10.9.4 update onto external, and tried updating the 10.9.4 internal. No luck.
Attempting internal startup with 10.9.4 results in black screen, followed by several seconds of lit screen and spinning icon, then back to black screen.
After starting up on 10.9.3 external, 10.9.4 internal shows mounted, files appear fine, and can copy back and forth. Just can't start with that drive, and can't risk updating external 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 until I find out and fix the problem.
Thank you

This was reported by another user:
I had the same issue with my 2008 iMac and Apple support walked me through the fix yesterday...
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
Apparently it's an issue with an automatic update that never quite got past the login screen.
If the above doesn't help, then move on to these:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

Mac mini not booting up with 8GB memory after 10.7.2 update

My mac mini is not booting up with 8GB of memory after the 10.7.2 update. It just keeps on beeping and flashing the led.
If I take out the upper DIMM (Bank 1) It boots just fine, and it does so with either one of the 4GB DIMMs in Bank 0, so the DIMMs are fine. It also boots up fine with two 1GB DIMMs installed simultaneously, so the Bank 1 seems to be somehow working as well.
This trouble started right after the Lion recovery update, meaning the mini has never booted with the full 8GB installed after the update.
It worked just fine before that, with the full 8GB of memory installed.
Anyone else having similar problems?
Cheers, Otto.

I have upgraded my 2011 Macbook Pro and my 2011 Mini Server
to 8 gig with Corsair RAM and have had no issues
(CMSA8GX3M2A1333C9). What brand RAM was used?
There have been issues in the past with some RAM
brands.
Something to try is a PRAM reset with the 8 gig installed.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
Also, make sure the Minis are booting into 64 bit mode.
Open Applications->Utilities->System Information
On the left side click the software heading. There should be a line
64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes
This should be the default for 2010 and 2011, but something could
have got hosed.

Video scaled down becomes pixelated with graphics

Hey everyone,
I have a clip in my time line which I resize (720 x 480) scale down to 32% from 100% to the corner.
Adjusted all the Pixel Aspect ratios which are set to NTSC CCIR 601 (lower) & TIFF images (square). Tryed also RT which is dynamic.
My lower 32% scaled down video is a bit distored blurry with any graphic file or motion file. Tried adjusting the layers,aspect settings, codec. If I remove the graphic..it clears up to normal. The full 100% scaled is fine.
I'm trying maintain the digital quality in the small scaled down video.
Suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!

Render it, then view on a proper external ntsc/pal video monitor.

Colors become oversatured with green tint after last import

Hi,
I use Lightroom on Windows Vista and after last import from my D300 my images have colors that are oversaturated and have a green tint that makes eyes bleed. Following advice from http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402862&sliceId=2 and upgrading to 1.4.1 didn't solve this problem.
I also noticed this same problem on older images which were fine before so my guess is that this problem is self-inflicted. I would really appreciate any ideas on how this could happen and how to fix it.
I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in KB or forums.

>my green colors issue was "fixed" by adding the sRGB profile to my windows monitor settings and setting it as the default in place of the manufacture-provided profile (which i made sure was up to date). i don't quite understand why that would make things better as my monitor is surely not capable of reproducing the full sRGB gamut. is it correct for me to assume that there is some other lightroom or windows problem at hand for which this procedure happens to be a workaround? or is there something more fundamental about color management that i'm missing here?
Chalk another one up to a bad manufacturer-supplied profile. We have seen these here hundreds of times now. Technically what happens is that Lightroom uses the perceptual profile present in such a profile, while most other color managed software (Photoshop, Safari, etc.) use the relative colorimetric. For some reason, many manufacturer-supplied profiles have corrupt perceptual intent in them. This makes Lightroom (and any other app that uses it) appear weird. Bottom line is that you cannot get good color on any system without calibrating it yourself. Rarely is a manufacturer profile any good, even if the perceptual intent is not broken.

Problem with contextual menus after 10.9.3 update

Hello, since the update to 10.9.3 i am experiencing problems with contextual menus. The problem is more frequent when I use an external screen.
First problem: I am losing the icons in the top bar of the finder. This happens mostly on external screens.
Second problem: The arrows indicating submenus upon a right click are lost. This problem is also present when I use the internal screen of my Macbook.
Sometimes, the icons in the left menu bar of the finder are also lost (mostly Dropbox):
Is there anything I can do? Is this a known problem?
My current system:
Macbook Pro Retina 13" (late 2013)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
8 Gb Ram
Intel Iris
Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Issues with Character Pallete after latest PS CS6 update

Since the latest update earlier this week, I've experienced major issues with the character palette - particularly the point size and tracking. The tracking issue is by far the greater of these two evils and the following explains the issues I've observed:
tracking - the number you type isn't the number used to set the tracking. The slider and up/down arrows do not remedy this problem, though they make it slightly more predictable. The number that appears seems random, though I've noticed a pattern in some instances (typing 20 sets tracking 18, typing 40 sets it 36, typing 60 sets it 54, and so on). This issue also appears to be connected to free transforming a text layer, so the pattern is possibly based on the percentage of scaling.
font size - the number you type works if size is increased in small increments to a certain point. Then it max's out, and this error appears repeatedly (after ok is clicked the error pops back up)
I've searched the web for resolutions to the issue and haven't found anything. This is what I've tried and none of it worked to any lasting degree:
- set units to pixels in preferences and restart photoshop
- set units back to points in preferences and restart photoshop
- restart photoshop and pc (several times)
- shut down photoshop and pc (several times)
- unplug pc and discharge static

I dont know the the below link. But if you go to Photoshop .com feedback. And go to Topics>Problems and sort by most recent, these text bug topics should be on that page. (I created the last one "Scrubby Leading Bug")
Text layer inconsistent property values (new in 13.0.5 / 13.0.1.2)
Photoshop: Font style size problems in CS6
Photoshop CS6: program error from vector tools, multiple text layer font size weirdness
Photoshop 13.0.5 Scrubby Leading Bug in Character Panel (appears after Free Transform of Type)

No ringtone icon for all my purchasaed songs after 8.0.2 update today

what in the world is going on with itunes?? I've never had a problem in the last gazillion years with this application until today. First it started with my purchases not all being downloaded today, then I started getting 'this computer not authorized' in all my music, then I upgraded to 8.0.2 which got rid of the authorization issue, but now none of my songs I purchased can be turned into ringtones except for songs I just bought last week and none of my music is showing the ringtone icon so I cannot tell what can and cannot be turned into a ringtone until after I try it and get told to logon with the account I used to purchase the track from, then agree to an agreement, click on the song again, wait for it to check itunes, only for it to tell me that it cannot be converted to a ringtone. this has been **** today... and all because I was just trying to update my iphone to 2.2. I never got to do it. after all this i probably won't.

Same problem here. After updating to 8.0.2, no ringtone icons. Anyone have any thoughts?

The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!

Problem with Pages 09 after latest Snow Leopard Update

I upgraded Snow Leopard with the latest update this afternoon, and now I am having all sorts of problems with Pages. Most importantly, the Pages templates are all messed up, with formatting all screwed up and the typesetting a mess. Has anyone else experienced such problems with Pages after the update? I may have to revert back to pre-update Snow Leopard if this can't be resolved, since I use Pages for my work. Any assistance here would be appreciated!

You can install the combo over the delta (Software Update version). I did after I inadvertently used Software Update on my MacBook Pro. That's what I get for trying to update 3 Macs at one time.
Here is the link to the Mac OS 10.6.4 combo updater.

Problems with Wireless connection AFTER 10.4.2 update

I have read several topics on wireless problems AFTER the 10.4.2 update and wondering if anyone (or Apple) has found a fix to this problem. I cant get to my network or the internet via airport. I have tried zapping the pram, resetting the permissions, rebooting, checking for more update on a wired connection, reinstalling both 10.4.2 combo and 4.2 update and still nothing. This happened RIGHT after the reboot upon completion of the update. Im stuck and wondering if anyone has a solution or has any one SUCCESSFULLY contacted Apple and have they got a solution to fix the problem??

I'm having the same problems with accessing my airport base station (first generation snow at 4.0.9) after loading the airport admin 4.2 patch. I loaded the 4.2 patch on my g5 and G4 running 10.3.9. The response/across of the wifi connection is very poor. I can't use chicken of the VNC to manage the G4 from the G5 anymore at all due to the slow response and accessing the internet via either the G4 or the G5 is like a dial up connection. The broadband speed test results are 192mb to 274mb up and similar down.
I have a 12"powerbook (DVI 1gig version) with 10.3.9 that I have not loaded the 4.2 patch on and I am not having any issues with wifi access to the base station or the internet. broadband logs in right at 2.8mb via DSL. I also have a Dell laptop that I access the internet through the airport base station and I have no issues with speed and the same 2.8mb broadband speed test results.
Conclusion something in the airport 4.2 patch has changed the airport cards ability to see the base station.
With all that said, my question is - How do I back out of the 4.2 airport admin patch provided by apple or how do I resolve the slow response times between the airport cards in the G4 and G5 and the base station?
Any help?
