Image garbled after upgrading to 10.6.1

When I open faces with the "faces" button below the main iPhoto screen, the display is garbled and blocks of the screen are repeated across the picture. There seems to be something wrong with the way 10.6.1 displays certain pictures. This effect is new since I upgraded to 10.6.1

Solved with hint from KT. Trashed some pref files:

My Dock icons looks garbled after upgrading to OS X Maverick.

My Dock icons looks garbled after upgrading to OS X Maverick.Not all but most of them look like scattered dots instead of the icons, tried restarting multiple times still no use.
I installed OS X Maverick last week and for a week it looked fine. I have restarted the OS for copule of times after upgrade. Now the Icons in the dock seem to be garbled.

The dock preferences may be corrupted ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash

Is partition "PBR Image" unnecessary after upgrading to Windows 8.1?

Laptop Vostro 3560, bought with Windows 8 installed and upgraded to 8.1.
The disk has a “PBR Image” partition (NTFS, 9.3 GB). I suppose this partition is used to restore the factory configuration, with Windows 8. I do not expect to go back to Windows 8. I will create backup images of the Windows 8.1 installation regularly.
Question: Can this partition, PBR Image, be deleted? Would deleting it cause any problem?

When the laptop goes into this stall, sometimes the “Not Responding” (when loading a web page), in the lower right hand corner, the notification area shows the RED ICON, Dell Backup and Recovery. Then, when I go to “settings,” under Devices and Drivers, there is a RED BAR nearly full for this PBR Image thing. It stays just briefly and disappears and I cannot locate where this bar thing disappears to – to look at it again.
But when I go to Disk Management, the 4th box shows:
OS (C:)
456.04 GB NTFS
Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition
Still, prior to my accepting this Dell Recovery, my Web Pages used to really “pop” – fast loading, no stalling. I WAS impressed with the incredible speed of this Laptop! Now I wait for it to think about loading.
I have normal regular sites I visit on a regular basis and any pictures or documents are worked on, viewed and saved to a Flash Drive to keep available space in the laptop. I made no changes to the system, do a regular Defrag and Disk Clean-up, so it makes no sense for this “slow down” after a few months. (Also, I have a new Router with Max speed, so it has nothing to do with the wireless connection).

HP dv6662se microphone garbled after upgrading to Windows 7

I recently upgraded my dv6662se laptop to Windows 7 (32 bit) from Vista. It has the built in webcam and microphone. I also downloaded all of the subsequent Windows updates for it. The webcam still works but now the microphone only produces garbled noise. The microphone worked okay before the upgrade. The built-in speakers seem to be working okay.
The internal microphone appears to have the latest driver (6.0.1.5869) that is available for it.
I've been hesitant to uninstall the driver since I have not been able to find that driver anywhere. All I can find is what I believe was an older one (6.0.1.5448 A) that is a Vista driver. I also have seen where Realtek just released a new driver (R2.47) on 4/9/10 but haven't heard whether that will solve the problem or not.
I first discovered this problem the first time I tried to Skype someone after the upgrade. When I check the microphone using Skype's Audio settings, I can see that the microphone is responding to my voice. When I make a test call to Skype, it is all garbled.
I have not torn into the laptop yet to see if I can find which Realtek chipset it is using.
I was shocked to learn that this 2 year old laptop is no longer being supported by HP.
I'll appreciate any help anyone can provide. I'd rather not have to install an external microphone.

Unplug the printer, and uninstall it. Then download the Windows 7 CP1215 plug and play driver package from www.hp.com. Install the printer using that package.

Safari on iPad does not display GIF image anymore after upgrade to iOS 4.3

1) Could anybody (especially those in Apple iOS or Safari teams) advise me why the Safari on my iPad cannot display some images (probably in GIF formats) on some webpages anymore, after I upgrade my iPad to iOS 4.3? These images on the webpages can be properly displayed on when my IPad runs with iOS 4.2.1. There should be no problem with these embedded image files because they can still be properly display in Safari running on my Macbook air.
2) Is there any solution to this problem?
3) Is it possible to downgrade my iPad back to iOS 4.2.1?

I am having the same issue with two different ipads (one Wifi and one Wifi-3g) running on our home network (Verizon FIOS). The website in question is www.tvwc.com and the main logo in the upper left corner, a .gif, does not display, only a "?". Other images on the site, in .jpg format, display correctly.
I was running 4.2.1 and am now just upgrading to 4.3.

Desktop images disappeared after upgrade to 10.4.7

I upgraded from 10.4.4 to 10.4.7 using the Combo download available on apple.com. (Every time I tried to download the upgrade through Sofware Update, it kept timing out.) The upgrade fixed the Mac Help app, which was not working.
After installing the upgrade, the Apple-supplied photos I had selected to use as my desktop have disappeared. It's back to the default blue screen. In the Desktop and Screen Saver System Preference pane, the choices are there but are grayed out and not selectable. The Screen Saver works just fine.
I've considered reinstalling 10.4.4 then doing the upgrade to 10.4.7 right after, but I don't know if that will even work. I'd like to have desktop images available, but have already spent several hours trying to figure this out. Any ideas?

I just checked it again, and in fact, the Desktop photos are not even grayed out. They aren't there. I click on the left pane to view "Nature" images, but the folders appear empty.
I tried to find the actual folder files on my HD, not sure where they are.
Any ideas?

Unsupported image format after upgrade to 3.4.5

I have just upgraded to Aperture 3.4.5 and have connected the previous library which had been comiled in version 2.
I am now seeing loads of Unsupported Image Formats appear in the random sample of files I have checked.
I use two cameras mainly, a Nikon D2x and a Canon Powershot G15 and shoot a lot on raw with the Nikon but mainly high res jpegs on the Canon. Images from both are subject to this occurrence.
Initially the preview and the image will appear in the main panel but when I attempt to do anything in the adjustments panel then I get the Unsupported Image format appear.
Any inputs would be most appreciated.

Also the Aperture Trial library that appears at the top of the side bar.
Aperture shows the name of the Aperture library at the top of the Library Inspector panel. If you bought Aperture originally by downloading a trial version and then unlocking the trial with a serial number your library may still be called "Aperture Trial". You can rename the Aperture Library in the Finder. Select the package "Aperture Trial.aplibrary" in thePictures folder,or wherever you keep the libraries and rename the package to Aperture Library.aplibrary" or similar.
I have gone through a few folders and reconnected them and this is working so far. Is there a way to connect the who;le library without having to go through every folder as there are many of them.
You can select several projects at once to reconnect the originals. If Aperture can guess the location of the originals from the ones it just reconnected it should work to select all images at once, then pair the first image with the original, and then to select "reconnect all".
The easiest way to select all images at once is the Photos tab.

Wrong Images played after upgrade

I upgraded to iLife06 and the edited movies now play the wrong bits of the video clips (but not the wrong media clip). Additionl audio seems to have slipped (music track)
Has anyone had this trouble?

How best to proceed depends a lot on how much editing you intend to do with those iMovie 4 projects. Here are some options:
1. Reinstall iMovie 4 and finish editing them with iMovie 4. (Note that if the clips of Media files are indeed messed up, they will be messed up in iMovie 4 too.)
2. Use iMovie 4 to export to the camera, then re-import to iMovie 6. Most clips will return as discrete clips, just as they were in iMovie 4. Some will lose their "clip-ness", but that may not matter.
3. Create a new iMovie HD project and import the movie "Your iMovie 4 Project Name.mov" that's inside the iMovie 4 project folder into a iMovie HD project. Everything will arrive as a single clip and play in the proper over. (Stuff that's missing will still be missing.)
4. Drag the DV clips from the iMovie 4 project folder's Media folder into the iMovie 6 project. They will arrive in no particular order.
5. If lots of clips are damaged there may be little value in trying to rescue them. Rather than try to make sense of the mess -- which can waste a good week or two -- it's probably better starting over in iMovie 6. Starting over usually goes a lot faster than you think for you know WHAT you want to do; you just have to DO it.
6. Don't forget too that the project.mov in the iMovie 4 project can play in QuickTime Player without iMovie 4. Playing it will help you see what may be missing.
Yes, iMovie HD 6 lets you edit both (normal) DV and (high definition) HDV. Plus several other types of movie too. See iMovie Help.

Quality of images poor after upgrade

Hi - I just updated my 2012 rMBP 15 to Mavericks and notice; the screen (fonts, images) not to be as sharp as earlier - images are more dithered and pixelated the whole display is looking more gray and not as bright.
Appreciate help and suggestions

Do not transfer/share your iMovie project to iDVD, this compresses the image. Instead, open iDVD, under the media pane, select your iMovie project. This should improve the quality.
Other tips to improve quality, in iDVD save as a disk image, use Disk Utility to burn to DVD at 1x or 2x. Use good quality media such as Verbatim or Maxcell.
Hope this helps

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found. I had created a book to print (before upgrade) but, after the upgrade the book can't be created as I get the message that images can't be found. However, if I search for the filename I can find the image. I tried repairing library as per support instructions but it hasn't helped. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.

After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Canon MX870 doesn't print text...just images

After upgrading to Snow Leopard (yes I know I'm slow to upgrade) my Canon MX870 isn't printing text. It is printing images but the quality if horrendous because it's not printing the black ink.
Here's what I've done so far
Installed the latest drivers for Snow Leopard from Canon
Cleaned the heads of the printer
Added new ink to all cartridges
Run printing tests (nozzle print patterns)...all good
Reset my printers in the Print Fax Preferences and added in the printer again
Numerous restarts
Now I'm at a loss for what else to do. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
BTW, printer is connected via USB not wireless.

OK well I can see now that all of my files are present on the hard drive (mybook) only they are not showing up in aperture. It seems that there has been some sort of communication breakdown between the two.
As I said several files are missing and or corrupt in my aperture library. I'm wondering if there is a way to rebuild the library without using the vault technique? Does this make sense to anyone?
I was able to go into finder - mybook - aperture library - show contents and see that all my raw files at least are there. Now I just need to get aperture to recognize them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Facebook images do not load after upgrading to 6.0. What to do?

After upgrading to Firefox 6.0 my Facebook images will not open. I see a white box with a frame but after clicking on it a totally black square opens up instead a photo. All is OK when using IE9. (Also, the same with Twitpics on Twitter.)

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
