IMac dramatic video issues

i did read that many ppl have the same problem, i post a screenshot so u know what i am talking about:
http://www.kappesante.com/video.png (if u see a website instead an image, reload the page. dunno why but sometimes it's needed)
i installed the fan control panel, http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/ but still no results. after 24-36 hours the screen starts again to draw this odd stuff.
the only thing that works is a logout or a restart. any news?

It's one of two issues: the graphics card is overheating (a problem with some recent-model Nvidia cards, I understand), or the card/card memory has wiggled loose. Both things cause that problem. You need to contact AppleCare and they should repair it free of charge.

IMac G5 video issues.

I have a iMac G5 20" 2.16 s/n W86494YZVUV that has a serious video issue. What appears to be a set of small lines appears on each side of each icon and the cursor. Additionally, large random angular spikes appear all over making the display virtually unreadable. Is there an economic solution to this issue or is it a throwaway?

Hello.
Once my iMac G5 experienced this blue tint problem.
The solution was to:
Open System Preference > Display.
Click on the highest resolution.
Close Display pane.
Close System Preference.
Hope this helps.

Fix that works for the new 21inch 27 inch Imacs Choppy Video Issue. ******

I found the fix on the World of Warcraft forums. The problem is with Air Port. Disable Air Port and plug your computer directly into your Router. My games and video run great. I'm getting 60fps in World of Warcraft and all the flash videos work great. Its the best solution until they fix the issue.

It sure did work... Hard wired to AirPort extreme, turned AirPort off and connected through Ethernet in network system preferences. Able to play videos from YouTube Hulu everywhere....Where is our update??

Kernel Panic on iMac with Pixelated Video Issues

One of our work iMacs has been having weird pixelate video issues recently. Sometimes previews of program windows will freeze on screen... and as you move the window around the screen "erases" this preview from the LCD... It is a 2006 24" White iMac 6,1. Now we get some Kernel Panics with the following error message. Please help me decipher it. Thanks!

Re: Kernel Panic on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Lion 10.7.1, 4gb RAM
27-sep-2011 11:53 (in response to jose guzman) Launch the Apple Hardware Test program, run the extended tests at least twice, and then download and run Rember. All indications are that you have bad or flaky RAM.

New iMac 07 horrible video issues in Magic Garageband

I have a 2.0GHz iMac (Mid 2007) with the ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128MB graphics, when I click on magic garageband the video has interlaced lines and the colors are horribly distorted. When I click on "audition" then "change genre" it quickly adjusted back to normal than quickly went to its interlaced look. I am going to try to reinstall GB from my DVD. I am also having unrelated video issues in Doom 3 even after the universal updater patch, the video resolution is terrible and I am getting artifacts all over the screen as I play.

Unfortunately, the pictures are no longer available. But I think our brand new iMac 07 has the same issues. It started with corrupted graphics when opening or closing the curtain in Garage Band. But it's getting worse, just have a look at my screenshots:

Video issues in mac os 10.6.4 and windows 7 64x

To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory, and wasn't experiencing any video problems until earlier this month. I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
I'm thinking, Ok, perhaps this is a bad install of windows, since it happened in a windows program (everquest 2, an online game), and rebooted into Mac. Almost immediately, I saw video problems (snow, pixels, lines, distortion)on the mac side, which had occurred with the windows side.
My husband is angry, I'm angry, so I decide that I'm going to trash everything and start off completely fresh. I intended to reinstall mac 10.6.4 after erasing everything, so I removed the windows partition, and attempted to reinstall snow leapard, without using the original leapard disc that came with the system. I didn't realize until too late that I had forgotten to erase the original os, but I figured I'd see if there were any problems and go from there. I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side. I was able to fully update the mac side before attempting any installation of the windows os.
I started having video problems really quickly in the windows side after the full installation and update, but the system disabled the initial nvidia drivers and went to plug and play drivers. The only thing that displayed any further problems was the ISight camera, but that was to be expected without the apple updates.
I did read the bootcamp manual afterwards, and saw that my IMac, being an earlier version, might not properly install bootcamp drivers for windows 7 64x, although we had successfully located and manually installed the drivers earlier when first installing windows 7 64x. Keep in mind, I'd had the os installed for several months without any video problems, and in fact, it worked like a dream in both os after the computer had a previous repair of the hard drive, sound card, and logic board.
Anyway, to continue, after the video symptoms occurred on windows, I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums. I had to change os because it was a dmg, so I did so. Now, I still had the snow leapard install disc in the computer, so that's the first thing I saw on the screen when booting into mac. I immediately started also seeing the pixels and some distortion, but it stopped briefly. I tried bringing up Firefox to get to the download, but the computer froze (showed the little round ball)and wouldn't respond further. I tried several reboots, and could usually at least get into snow leapard, but the computer froze each time.
Finally, after several attempts, the computer won't boot into either os, and won't go into the install disc either. I'm completely at a loss, because I'm told this IS NOT a hardware issue, and the problem was resolved with simply resetting everything. The problem was NOT resolved with that reset, because I'm able to reproduce this issue consistently with multiple reboots, and have even recorded it with a camera I have. I'm at my wit's end, because I'm on a fixed income, and this costs me time and money I just don't have. It's caused me to get behind on one of my bills, because I have to have a computer, and further repairs, while covered under warranty, are going to cost me further money to get to and from the service center. Not to mention the fact that it's going to take another month for me to wait for my money to become available so that I can pay for the ride back and forth for the repair.
Anyone, anyone at all, have any suggestions that may help? I have access to another computer, and can try using that computer to help me boot the other computer up, if I know how. Please, this is so frustrating to me, so I'm hoping someone can suggest something that may help.
I know I mentioned in the post what type of video issues I'm experiencing, but I figured I'd reiterate to make it easy. The computer will display a distorted image on bootup, like a pixelated off-center image. You know, kinda like 2 punch cards held up to each other, with the same holes, but off center. You also get snow, when able to boot up, with the screen sometimes showing half the screen, flickering. Like the screen is broken, but it's not even scratched. And it's not all the time either, if it was, I would think maybe an internal screen was broken or cracked (I've worked tech support for devices with internal screens, so I understand you can have a perfectly good outer screen, but a cracked inner screen). Right now, on bootup, I get that punch card effect, then the screen goes blank. I should mention that sometimes the system will show that, but then boot into windows with no immediate distortion, but will show distortion in the mac side if I'm able to boot into snow leapard. Hope this information helps someone give me an answer that helps.

To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory …
I'm assuming you mean the Early 2008 iMac since there is no "late 2008" one. AFAIK, it came with 2 GB of RAM standard & the common BTO option would have been 4 GB, so can we assume that you have installed an aftermarket memory module to get to 3 GB?
I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
What repair and setup? Is this something you did after getting the iMac back from service? If so, what exactly did you do?
I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side.
Do you mean the Windows drivers or something else? Did you follow the Bootcamp install procedure exactly when reinstalling Windows or not?
I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums.
What video firmware download do you mean? AKAIK, there are none for early 2008 iMacs.
No offense intended, but it is hard to understand exactly what you have done because while you mention much, you don't say a lot about the specifics for a lot of that. In general, it is best to concentrate on those things & keep the commentary to a minimum.

HELP: Video issues

ALL my videos whether in iTunes or not, flicker. The video it's self sticks but the audio continues without a problem. If I move the video to the iPad, no problems, it's something on my iMAC. It doesn't matter the type, the podcasts, music videos, and found most recent, FLV videos (these were from an educational website on a course I am taking). The iMAC is from Mid 2011; all video issues I found from the searches were from the older models.
Pleaes help, I can't rebuild this iMac yet as I am in the middle of two online excellerated classes and all my work is on this. If I run into any issues while trying to restore my iMAC I will be in huge trouble if I fall behind in the classes.

tried playing the movie with another player then itunes?

Blqack screen, no chime and it's not a video issue

Hi, I got a big problem and I will like to know what your thinking about.
When I try to open my Intel-Based IMac, there's no video. The screen is black but the light came on and the drive and the fan make a sound. The keyboard and the mouse doesnt work and the computer doesnt make a chime.
I tried to find some info on the website of apple
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300537
but it's not the same problem. The fan and the drive is working but I dont have the chime. Then it's not only a video issue, it's not only the display who is not working because the mouse and the keyboard doesn't work and the chime didn't came on.
It's the second time it do that. I didn't install a new software for the last week. The fist time, the technical support told me it was probably a software issue. After a while, I was able to turn on my computer and I made every update. After that, I made a reboot and everything worked. I taught it was ok and I turned off my computer. After the night, the same problem came on. I tried again to turn on and nothing worked. Black screen, no keyboard, no mouse, light turn on, the drive and cd make a sound and no chime. And this time, I was not able to turn on after many reboot with the power button.
I think it's a problem with the computer himself and not a software issue but I dont want to send my computer to a apple store before to confirm it. I need my computer as fast as I can and I don't have a retail neer of my home.

Your symptoms, though not exactly the same, seem to indicate a problem with your RAM. The startup chime is a signal that your Mac has passed the Power On Self Test and suitable RAM was found. No startup chime is usually a sign of bad or poorly seated RAM.
Intel-based Mac Power On Self Test RAM error codes
I would start by removing the RAM modules and test them one at a time in each of the RAM slots to rule out bad RAM or a bad slot. Then seat both modules securely.

Jabber for iPad video issue

How can I troubleshoot video issues?
I setup the iPad device (G711) and then placed a call to a Jabber for Windows (G729) phone. Audio worked fine but no video. I changed the Jabber for Windows to G711 and video started working?
Is Jabber for iPad going to support G729 and if so when?
Thanks,
Doug

Hello i have the same issue!

HT5313 What video issues were there on 10.7.4 that got fixed in 10.7.5? Any details?

The OS X update bulletin for 10.7.5 lists that one of the fixes in this update is
* Resolve a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
What is really being addressed? Any details?

Hi Tony, Ben and others,
I'm not sure it was the same problem, but a little while ago I have problems too with RADIUS not working on Lion,
and by searching for solutions I found out that it's necessarily to edit /etc/raddb/clients.conf
My problem here it didn't work was with the shared secret.
So I edited /etc/raddb/clients.conf and put at the end of the file :
client 10.0.0.0/24 {
        secret          = shared-secret-type-what-you-want-here
        shortname       = private-network
BEFORE I started RADIUS and added AE's to it
I hope it solves your problem too …
GreetingZz John
PS For some strange reason I had to change the
      'Wireless Security" from WPA2 Personal ---> WPA2 Enterprice on each AE manualy

Audio and Video issue with Windows 8.1 upgrade on Ideapad n585

I upgraded my Ideapad N585 to Windows 8.1 the other day, took forever, but it made it through. Unfortunately, I now get boot erors for the Dolby software, and the AMD Vision/Catalysyt Control Center. Neither of these programs are able to start, from startup or even manually. They just won't run. Sound seems to come out fine still, but I do have video issues.
First off, my computer doesn't seem to recognize a HDtv as a monitor through the HDMI port. I still get an image, but it's set to current screen resolution instead of 1080i. I tried using the detect button to force it to look for a second monitor (my TV), but it showed nothing connected, though at the time I was using two screens. Now my monitor's screen resolution seems to be a little higher than my TV's, but it doesn't fit the screen properly, and will sometimes put a black border around the desktop, not using the full screen. I have also noticed, that when plugged into the tv, if a background program like a screen saver starts (and I am one of the few people who still use them, I like BOINC, sue me), it will reset the screen resolution to what it requires. When the program exits, the screen resolution stays, and that becomes the new max screen resolution until I restart the computer. So far, it only does this through the tv, if I run the laptop monitor alone, it doesn't happen.
I did try updating the software with what's available through the support site, but nothing happened. I even went as far as to use the Windows 9x~XP standbys of completely uninstalling, manually removing everything from the system registry I could find relating to these two programs, and then finally reinstalling the software. Giving the audio and video a complete clean slate to work from, and got no positive results. I restart the computer, Dolby and Catalyst won't boot, and blind to HDtv. Problems as described above still apply.
Anybody else have this issue? Anybody got a fix?

have you found a solution to this?
My computer updated to 8.1 without my wanting it to, I have the same problems as you. I installed the video driver because the brightness was locked on what I had it. (the bar would move but did not change)
I searched for brightness and n585 and I was able to find a driver, now brightness works but HDMI still does not. When I plug in the TV both screens go black with all 4 options in the "project" screen.
*edit*
this worked for me i stumbled across this
I unplugged the power cable with the hdmi cable plugged in. Hit (windows key+p) scrolled to duplicate and it worked.I plugged in the power cord back in and it still worked.

Video Issues in Adobe Presenter 9

Video issues - I have inserted a 3 minute video in a Presenter 9 file and it plays fine when previewing but only 6 seconds when published. Plays 6 seconds and then buffers. I have tried inserting different formats and still get the same results. Anyone else have this issue or ideas on how to resolve?

Hi there,
I got a solution from the Adobe Captivate technical team.
As an attempt to resolve your issue
Uncheck the option “Accelerate 3D graphics” under VM Settings by going to VM >> Settings >> Display>> 3D graphics
Once done please try capturing and hopefully this must resolve your issue
I did this and it worked, yeah. However, it is still incredibly frustrating using VMWare, when I am recording using Presenter it keeps freezing and I have to shut the entire system down. Guess I'll try the Partition!!!
Thanks again

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
Quartz Extreme is Not Supported because Quartz Extreme needs 16meg of video memory. You system has 8meg. & no, you cannot upgrade this iMac g3 video memory.
Doesn't look like Quartz Extreme is support on my 600mhz system either:

KT4VL video issue

New motherboard/chip/memory/HDD in previous case with previous video card. No other cards installed.
I get to the WinXP setup screen fine, and choose to format the HDD in NTFS, but then the screen flashes and I get "synch out of range" on the monitor. I tried XPhome as well as pro out of curiosity...I get the same "synch out of range" at various times.
KT4VL
Corsair 512MB PC400
Athlon 2.1Ghz
MSI-8855 GeForce2 ti-Pro (4x AGP)
CD burner, CD reader and 80GB HDD installed
PSU is 300 or 350 I believe
no other cards or devices yet
I made sure to keep all BIOS settings at safe/default levels while doing initial install. Cannot get past the video issue, and I have never seen it before. Any ideas?

Sorry...its a Samsung 19" Synchmaster...about 6 months old.
It was fine with the old system, as was the video card itself. I carried them both over from my previous "guts"...an MSI KT2proRaid I think, with Athlon 800.
Initial video signal is fine, and as far as I know it shouldn't switch from basic VGA to hi-resolution until it actually gets into XP. It's nowehere CLOSE to that point when it is in the blue XP setup screens which makes it puzzling.

MacBook Pro 2011 Repair Extension Program for Video Issues -Feedback?

Anybody have any feedback from the MacBook Pro 2011 Repair Extension Program for Video Issues?
I had my early 2011 15 inch 8,2 repaired (free) under the extension program. The machine now appears to run well - but much hotter than before. The case is significantly hotter - especially at the GPU corner and the fans are constantly on moderate to high (not full). Anybody else experiencing similar changes?

Run an Apple Hardware Test;
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
Note an error free AHT is not definitive.
install iStat menus:
http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
Set Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.
When the MBP gets hot, post images of both for inspection.
Ciao.
