IMac has only half the screen working/illuminated.

Is this a problem with the backlight?
Is it expensive to fix?
No Applecare.

Take the machine to your local Apple Store or AASP they can quote you how much it will cost to repair.

Only half the screen updated in Camera Raw.

My system stopped updating half of the screen for camera raw. If i make a change in Camera raw, it only updates half the picture. I have to drag the window onto my second screen and back to see the entire image updated.
This did not occur from the beginning.
I am using an EVGA GeForce 8600GT 512 MB Video Card. The system is a quad core with 4 GB of ram running Windows XP.
One monitor is a 30" LP3065 (this is the one which is not updating).
The other is a 20.1" dell 2001FP
Anyone know what would cause this to occur. It has greatly slowed down my work flow.
Thanks

Also, can you swap the video cables connecting the monitors in order to rule out a defective cable or connection on one of the outputs of the graphics card?

Only half the keyboard works after sleep

I have a fall 2011 Air running Lion. It has a weird problem: sometimes (maybe 1 out of 10), after waking up from sleeping (closing the case - I haven't tried manually putting it to sleep - only the left hand portion of the keyboard works. At the login screen, all the left hand keystrokes generate their little password dots, and all the right hand keystrokes do nothing. I wondered whether there was some sort of genetic remnant from earlier macs with Num Lock keys or toggles between numbers and letters with the fn key. That's wrong, apparently, as I've tried using shift, option, fn command and a bunch of combinations to no avail. The only thing I've been able to do to recover is power it down ugly and then when I restart, things are normal again.
Remember, this happens at the login screen, so I have no menus to work with.
Anyone seen this and found a solution??? Thanks

Hi Alex H.
Thanks so much for the advice. I was near an Apple store yesterday so I stopped in and one of the employees shut down the Music app completely and this resolved the issue. I could have sworn that I had tried that before, but it's possible I hadn't.
Thanks again,
Tom

Only half my screens work - nouveau

Hey all
I am running arch with 6 screens (3 graphics cards). I have had my X working for ages but when I upgraded recently I now boot up/login and only have 3 of my screens working (one from each graphics card).
General Background:
I keep my /etc/ under git so I know my xorg.conf is correct (unchanged).
out of the 3 monitors that arnt working at the moment, two are blank/boot logs and one is reporting no input.
The monitors that are correctly functioning are at their correct resolutions.
I have listed below the information that I think is important, please let me know if you need any more info I am happy to provide any details required.
Versions of things:

On a possible related (or possible not) I get kernel panics about 30-50% of boots (null pointer dereference and the dump mentions both drm and nouveau. So if someone could please let me know how i can log the stack trace that would be great.

So you have two GeForce 210, and one GeForce GTX 560 Ti. Then shouldn't you be using Nvidia proprietary drivers? Because dual head support for "NVC0" is set to "mostly":
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix
Is the GTX 560 Ti the card that doesn't output anything?
Either that, or check pacman's log file (/var/log/pacman.log) for whatever was updated and try downgrading it. It's probably either nouveau or xorg-server.

HT1725 I purchased an album and it downloaded. However, one song on the album has only half the song. I've tried to "download" the "available downloads", but the darn itunes states that it's already been downloaded. How do I get the rest of the song?

I purchased Alanis Morisette new album. All the songs have downloaded, or so it said. While listening to the album, only half of "celebrity" downloaded. I've checked the "available downloads" section and it says that all have been downloaded.
How do I get the rest of the song to download? I've read the support page about wifi issues, blah blah blah. Not the issue.
Thanks for any help.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

IMac has a half darkened screen

My new iMac is about a month old. Last night it started displaying at about half its intended brightness...as if it is stuck in the transitional energy saving mode. I keep restarting, but it won't go back to normal.
This is the second major problem I've had with the new iMac (first was a bad firewire port and they had to replace the machine).
Thanks for any help or suggestions

Have you checked the brightness setting in System Preferences?

Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

Probably too late to do anything but replace the device at this point.
Once electronics get wet, the best thing to do is turn it off and put it in silica gels packs or uncooked rice for a minimum of 72hrs. Only then should the user attempt to power the device on.

My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.

Everything on all the webpages are so small, and only take up half the screen. How can I make it bigger, without changing the settings on my computer and by that change the size of everything on my computer.

Half the screen on my 2010 27" imac just went grey today. I just bought it six weeks ago. Is this a common problem. I am getting a headache ... grey

Half the screen on my 2010 27" mac just went grey today. I bought the computer six weeks ago. Is this a common problem with the monitor?

I think there's some provision for a home visit if you have AppleCare. Don't know about the standard warranty. Maybe you can arrange to ship it? Give them a call on Tuesday. Bummer.

IMac freezes when changing the screen saver

Hi all:
I originally posted this in the "Using Mac OS X" forum (iMac freezes when changing the screen saver, but thought I'd post here as well since the issue arises on a freshly installed OS.
We've got three 350MHz slot-loading G3 iMacs (with 512MB RAM) which we're planning to use for basic word processing. The install of Panther (10.3.5 from black retail cds with 10-seat volume license) went fine on the first two. Ran the updates to 10.3.9, installed MS Office 2004, everything working great (they're a little slow, but after all, they are only 350 MHz).
On the third, the first problem we noticed was the computer would lock up whenever we changed the screen saver from the default (Flurry; Computer Name also works). It continues to do so even after: repair permissions; repair disk; Disk Warrior; reset pram; reset nvram; reset pmu; change RAM; change hard drive; erase hard drive; write zeros to hard drive; reinstall with different set of retail CDs; trash preferences, and delete cache files. (If there's anything I've left out, it's in the other thread).
Now we've noticed that we can't create any new user accounts. We've thought about putting this one in production, just warning the user that they can't change the screen saver, but god only knows what will turn up next.
I'm starting to think it's a logic board issue, but could it be that selective? And would you see the same problem with another hard drive and different install discs? Am I missing something?
BTW, there's a crash log with the other thread.
Andrew
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I'm going to mark this one as answered.
I removed the hard drive from the iMac, and put it into another 350 MHz iMac, and everything works great. I can select any screen saver without having it freeze, create new accounts, whatever my little heart desires.
In checking the history of the problem iMac, there was an assortment of problems with booting (both from the hard drive and from the CD-ROM drive) which were never satisfactorily resolved. The problems just seemed to go away after sitting unplugged for a few days, as much as for anything we actually did to it.
Now we just have to decide whether it's worth fixing, or using it somewhere in a non-critical role with OS 9 installed.
Cheers,
Andrew

Aperture 3.2.4 macbookpro lion: image disappears after loading from any project; repairing everything on starting app doesn't fix it. Only restarting the computer works. Any help, please? ... in non-technical language please. Thanks

“Hi Kirby, thanks a lot for your answer.
I got one answer, from DMoore, saying:
“Try Safe boot and then restart with only Aperture open. Still doent work write back with more details like Ram, HD capacity/free space. Are these thumbnails or Previews? Have you turned off building previews in AP preferances?
Safe boot http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
Starting up into Safe Mode does several things:
1 It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
2 It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
3 In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
4 It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
5 It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
6 It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
7 Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.”
As I don’t know much about the technical aspects of computers, I don’t really understand the first answer, and it sounds like following it might produce unwanted changes.
But I understand your questions, so I’ll try to answer them;
"loading from any Project" means that I encounter the problem when I’m using a project, possibly after/because I’ve left the Mac on overnight, and/or I’ve made a lot of adjustments, and, once the problem is there, it happens in any other project which I open – the images load then disappear.
I can see images in the Browser, so it only happens in the Viewer(s).
I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by: “If you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector, does it show you all of your Images?”. I am a newcomer to Aperture, so I don’t know what some of the buttons are for yet, but when I want to look at and adjust my pictures, I import them, as referenced images, then Aperture creates a folder/project in the Library. When I click on that Project (when it’s working properly), all the images appear in the Browser or the Viewers – without me needing to “select Photos from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector”. I selected it and looked at all the items in the dropdown menu, but none of them seems to offer the option to ‘show all the images’. So I’m not sure how to answer your question except to say that – yes, I can see all the pictures in the Browser or the Viewers (when it’s working properly), but I don’t seem to need to use the Photos button to achieve this.
Did Aperture work before?
Yes it worked ok for a while, but I only purchased it on 24th May.
If I understand correctly, the difference between thumbnail and preview is that the thumbnail is what I see when the “Loading” wheel is turning, and the disappearance of this wheel after a few seconds means that I am now looking at the preview (also, the thumbnail cannot be adjusted).
So I think the problem occurs when the thumbnail has finished loading; the viewer going blank/grey might mean that it is not showing the preview.
But I have not changed the default Preview settings in Aperture Preferences.
My macbookpro details:
2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3
Hard Drive capacity 499.25 GB
Available 387.36 GB
I have noticed another problem: I cannot apply the same rating to multiple images: following the instructions, I select a group of contiguous (or non- contiguous) images, choose a selection eg “5stars” using the keyboard, but the stars only appear in the last selected image – even though all the images are still showing as selected.”
I hope this helps you to understand more.
Thank you for trying to help me.

How do I get rid of the images taking up half the screen?

Just got a Classic 160 and I love it EXCEPT for the fact that half the screen is taken up by a useless image. I want to use the full width of the screen for the title/artist, etc., So if I'm listening to a song from "The Skiffle Sessions: Live in Belfast" with Van Morrison, Lonnie Donegan, and Chris Barber, I get the full information instead of "Van Morrison, Lonnie ..." and "The Skiffle Sessions: L ..."
Please, how do I get rid of the useless image?!?!?!?!?!

I THINK it doesn't work. When you connected your iPod, click on the iPod in iTunes, click the music tab. there you got a list of playlists (most likely grayed out) and below there there should be something like "include music videos" (or something similiar. i'm not using the english version of iTunes, so the text could differ slightly. and right below that there should be an option "show covers on ipod" (again, the text could differ. but the meaning should be the same.) uncheck that and save it. if this option doesn't show: do you have the newest iTunes version?

IMac has only half the screen working/illuminated.
