Imac 24" late 2007 with image persistence -- any fixes that worked?
So there seem to be quite a few people with screen burn-in/image persistence on their imacs. I am one and I have tried Apple's solution as documented in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807?viewlocale=en_US
I've tried the white background for a few nights, no go. I also always had screen sleep set to 10 minutes.
The image persistence I get look like left over text/window borders and smudges much like these:

I have also tried jscreenfix and LCDscruber on various patterns for a few days now and I can't get rid of these artifacts.
I suspect heat may be part of the issue. If I leave the imac off overnight and turn it on in the morning, my screen is fine. Wait a bit for it to warm up and the image persistence is back, however, turning up the fans failed to resolve the issue. Room temp is not bad -- about 26c. I've also tried cleaning out dust, but that didn't change anything.
Has anyone with this problem actually gotten it fixed? What worked?
Message was edited by: taii: Just to add, the location is just about dead center and spreads out roughly 4 inches in any direction. This puts it around the hard disk. The hard disk temp is 58c. The CPU and GPU temps are at 49/63c. The power supply is at 78c. This seems a bit high? The powersupply is in the upper left corner though and there is no image persistence in that area.
Hello
I don't have any exact figures as how much the temps went up as i didn't monitor it that closely before, as everyone who owns a iMac knows they can get quite hot.
Last night when i checked the temp on the GPU was 78 degrees celcius and i belive that thats a good 8-10 degrees more that it normally was with Leopard.
If i try and hold my hand behind the screen to the left where i believe the power unit is located it gets to hot for me to keep my hand there for more than a few seconds at a time.
I don't have the other numbers available right now but i can post them tonight when i get home.
I also had the problem before Snow Leopard but not as bad as with Snow Leopard. When i was using Leopard it normally took quite a long time for the problems to occur. I almost only got them if i wasn't using the computer and the screensaver or power saver for some reason failed to start, it was also quite easily fixed by just activating the screensaver or powersaver for a while.
My conclusion is as follows:
1. The iMacs has probably always had persistance problems.
2. The iMacs gets quite hot
3. After Snow Leopard the Imacs gets even hotter and this affects the percistance problems so that they grow worse
All this accordign to me is clearly related to the hardware itself, i.e poor cooling, poor quality components and so on, nothing points to this being a user or usage problem and i therefor think that apple should address it accordingly.
I'm in Sweden and my nearest Apple Store is quite far away and getting hold of someone at apple in sweden to discuss this matter with is easier said than done.

My iMac 27" Late 2012 has Image Persistence Problem
I'm wondering what to do about an annoying image persistence problem on my 27" late 2012 iMac. I got the iMac just a few days ago. Monday actually, so 4 days ago.
It's the 3.4GHz i7, 8GB, NVIDIA 680MX 1TB fusion drive model.
Overall it has become the love of my life, but the image persistence thing is getting harder to ignore. This happens after only a few minutes of use. If I follow Apple's instruction on dealing with LCD image persistence, I can make it go away for a while, but it comes back very quickly.
It is extremely noticeable on a plan dark background. It looks as thought he screen has been left on for a very long time with the same windows open, but it occurrs in less than 5 minutes of use with nothing more intense than a bit of web surfing.
I've read that this is happening a great deal on these new iMacs, particularly teh 27" machines.
While the problem seems to be known to those of us afflicted I don't know if Apple has acknowledged an issue or not.
Here is a sample of the complaints: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1509571
I can make the ghost image vanish by bringing up an all white scree for a minute or so or using LCD Scrub.
I'm wondering if anyone else has foun a solution other than asking for a replacement computer, which Apple seems to be granting on this issue?Avoiding image persistence on Apple (IPS) displays
Avoiding image persistence on Apple LCD displays
If you cannot resolve the issue yourself, then return the computer for a replacement. You may do this freely within 14 days from date of purchase, so don't delay. -
I'm going to give my iMac (21" - late 2007) to my brother. So, I did a back-up on an external disk and now I want to format it and create his new profile. What to do and how? I have OS.x 10.7 (Lion). Thanks very much for your support and help.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There isn't a Late 2007 21-inch iMac. I think you are referring to a Mid 2007 20-inch iMac, right?
In that case, you can't give him your iMac with OS X Lion. OS X Lion is registered to your Apple ID, and he won't be able to reinstall Lion unless you give him your Apple ID.
The best you can do is to give him the Mac with Snow Leopard installed, if you have the DVD. Follow these steps:
1. Insert the DVD and hold the C key while your computer is starting.
2. Choose your language, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility.
3. Choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
4. Close Disk Utility and reinstall Mac OS X. When the installation finishes, hold the mouse or trackpad to eject the disc and turn off the computer.
This is the most recommended way to do it and avoid problems. Anyway, if you insist on giving him the iMac with Lion, you just have to start in OS X Recovery (holding Comman and R keys while your computer is starting), use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD as described above, and finally, reinstall Lion with your Apple ID -

I have several old Kodak Photo CD with PCD image files. I am now using Photoshop CS5. Some years ago while using Photoshop CS4 I copied a file: "Photo CD.8BI" from an older, CS2, version to the Plug-ins/File Format folder of CS4. This does not appear to work with CS5. Any fix?
It can be made to work, but you have to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5, and as I recall there's an additional DLL called pcdlib32.dll that's needed from the old installation.

Image Gallery or Lightbox that works for DW CS6?
Help! I need an image gallery or lightbox that works! I tried the Lightbox Gallery in Widgets and while it works for the most part, the nav buttons don't show up and I've put the files in every directory (path) possible. Does anyone have a fix for this - I've perused forums for hours about this. OR is there something else that's easy and fast and that works? And hopefully free?

beautiful flagstone is the perfect

Is there any form that works like Jtable that can be written into the html
Is there any form that works like Jtable that can be written into the html or jsp format?
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="command" VALUE=""> refer to a Sumbit Button.
There no such thing below "I think"but just dreaming
Is there something like
<INPUT TYPE="TABLESUBMIT" NAME="customer" VALUE={rowcolumn(1,3,"peter"),rowcolumn(last,"name","jane")}> ......Keep dreaming. As long as you are using HTML you are stuck with
all of its limitations. Among these is the lack of a JTable.
You have several options:
1) Use an HTML <TABLE>. For plain text you just put the
text between <td></td> tags. For input you put the input
as <td><input...></td>.
2) Extend #1 by creating your own object to draw the table.
You can do this in either Java or JavaScript. There are several
examples on the internet of how to do this. Some even include
sorting by clicking the column headings.
3) If you really want to use a JTable then you can write a JApplet
and put it on your JSP page. -

The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?
you pay for it up front, and they give you a rebate or $99, so if you buy a $99 printer from them (Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One Color Inkjet Printer $99.95) then the printer becomes free. You can not get this deal unless you also buy a mac with it.

23" Cinema with image persistence after a few minutes
Hi,
I've got a 23" Cinema Display which I purchased in August 2004. It's been fine until about two weeks ago. It's now suffering from pinking down the left and right edges and very bad image persistence.
If I've got a Safari window open for example, after about three to four minutes I close the window, a faint image of the window is still visible on the display. If I leave the Safari window open for say, 10-15 minutes and close it, I can then actually see the icons in the Toolbar and read the text from the bookmarks bar! The image will slowly fade over the next four to five minutes. Of course, this doesn't just happen with Safari windows, it happens with all windows, the Dock and icons on the desktop.
Now, I'm aware of image persistence on LCD's but this is ridiculous. It shouldn't happen after just a few minutes! I don't have AppleCare on this display and my local Apple reseller, where I purchased the display, told me it'd probably be cheaper to buy a new one than have it repaired. I just called Apple, they told me the same thing...
I'm not happy about this. I don't expect to pay £1500 for a display to do this after 20 odd months. I've had other cheap LCD's that have lasted for years without a problem. I see other people on the forums here are having the same problems, even from new, so it would appear to be a design fault with the 23".
Apple needs to acknowledge this as a fault with this display and replace them free of charge.
G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.6)My own 23" Apple Display has a similar problem as well - although it is not suffering from the "Pinking Down" on the left and right sides, it is suffering from the bad image persistance you describe. I have sent the display in three times for various issues, and mentioned the afterimage all times, and none of the times has it returned back to me fixed (I own AppleCare coverage for it as well).
I agree that Apple has to at least address the issue and inform the customers of the problem.
Something else that has plagued my display is the cracking of the back hinge, which is something NOT covered by AppleCare. It was so bad as to once it actually snapped off the entire screen and it would have fallen to the floor if I had not been there to catch it. I do not know if this is something related just to me as it resides on a glass desk or if this issue agitates anyone else.

Are there any scanners that work on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.7.5?
I was using a CanoScan Lide 35 scanner on my laptop just fine until a couple of weeks ago and now it is hit and miss with it. I was looking for a scanner that would be compatible with Mac OS 10.7.5 and I haven't found anything that looks like it works. I don't have time to read every single Google link that comes up and was hoping that someone here could help me out. I'm looking for a scanner that is on the low end of the price scale but also good enough to do some graphic work. I'd appreciate any info I can get. Thanks!
ErikYou will fnd that most scanners from the name brands work...I have an Epson Photo scan that works just fine with Mac OS X 10.7.5, 10.8.5, and 10.9.2...but I always use the included Image Capture application, found in Finder > Applications.

IMac G4 Desktop (Lampbase) with 512 memory. Will +256 work 4 Leopard?
I have an iMac G4 desktop (lampbase) with 1.25 gz process, and I doubled the Ram when I bought it (2x 256, or 512 total).
Came with 10.3. I wish to upgrade to 10.5 so that the kids new ipods can work on it (bummer they don't work with 10.3, as it was running nicely).
It appears, after opening the bottom of the computer, that I can EASILY replace the 256 that is there already and replace with a new 512. That will give me, what 768?
Will that be enough to run 10.5?
I know some people say update to 1 gig (2 x 512). But to replace that 2nd 256 with a 512 appears a little scary to me. More screws and opening the bottom of the computer into the unknown.
And, whereas the manual that came with it says I can add the first card,it says to go to dealer/provider to replace that 2nd one that is inside and hidden.
Q: Will I be okay with a 256 and a 512 for 768total? OR will I regret not going 1g?
AND: can I do that myself? How (link)?
thank you!!The minimum for Leopard is 512 so you really don't need to add anything but the more memory, the better.
I would go ahead and put a 512 MB chip in it now. That will give you 768 MB.
See how the machine runs for you. You can always add the other 512 later if you so choose.
The max for your machine is 1 GB but as you found out, the other 512 is a little more difficult to install.
I had 512 MB in my MacMini and it ran OK so yours should do even better with 768. -
Are there any apps that work with the G2 to block calls reliably?
I know this subject has been covered but, I have been using Call Control for years since I bought Pro way back when. Worked fine up until I got the G2. Now it says that the only proven method of blocking calls is using MUTE CALLS. The send to voicemail and pickup/hangup options are NOT recommended. I have tried a few others, but they all seem to hijack the call screen. I'm not overly worried about Caller ID features in an app. I know Call Control is in beta with a new version that shows ID, but it's rough and not aesthetically pleasing. Blocking texts isn't a big deal for me either. I know a lot of these apps block texts, but require you to use their messaging portion of their app. Anyone know of a proven pickup/hangup or send to VM app that works on G2?
Call Control works well, but being a beta tester I can tell you that features are changing. It's getting better, but even the Premium users are going to have to pay for lookups after x number credits. IOW, Premium users get a few credits per month and free users have to pay each time. Until that app decides to do right by the Premium users who have already paid for the app long ago I use Contactive because the ID seems better and more accurate than Call Control, Whitepages Current, Truecaller, LineWhoscall, and CallApp. Contactive doesn't have a direct pickup/hangup nor a send to VM, but the info is more correct and that means I can better block calls based on better info.

Is there any fix or work around for this year old dictation bug that messes up Photoshop??
Other than disabling it?
Details here https://forums.adobe.com/message/5835501
Encounted a very major bug today that I need to figure out how to get around asap as it's completely preventing me from doing any work.
Whenever I edit any text - be it editing an existing text layer, or with a new one, whatever text is there just randomly and without warning disappears. Doesn't matter wether I'm changing the color, font, font size or any other type settings. Sometimes I just move the mouse while in editing mode and the text just vanishes.
Made a video of the bug in action. Virtual keyboard on screen so you can see that I'm not hitting any keys to make the text disappears. Today is the first day I noticed this issue and I have absolutely no idea what is causing it but it happens 99.9% of the time that I try editing any text. Latest version of Photoshop, CC, OS X etc.

Please advise, I really need to get it figured out as soon as I can - as you can imagine impossible to do any sort of work without being able to type a single character.
Adobe claims it's an Apple problem:
Chris Cox (Staff)
The bug is in the dictation code in MacOS. We are not ignoring the problem - but we cannot fix bugs in Apple's OS code.
So far they say all you can do is just disable diction: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/cs5_text_deleted_upon_sele cting_after_updated_to_os_10_9If it was a bug in Apple's dictation code, every other program with text entry would be affected.
