Ios7.1 causing web pictures to show very grainy and low resolution. Help!

Since I've updated to ios7.1, I've noticed that pictures on a lot of apps have become very grainy and low-res (think 2002 dial-up loading images), yet pictures I take with my camera are fine. I tried saving one to see if it was just a temporary display problem but the final saved image would come in clear, but the problem continues. I thought maybe it was part of the visual assistance that came with 7.1 but if it is, I certainly can't find a way to turn it off. Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it? Additional info is that I'm using an iPhone 5c. I don't know if this is going on with any other models, but a friend of mine is having the same issue with his 5c. Thanks in advance!

My phone has been having the exact same issue. Every time I try to look at an image in safari it is grainy and pixelated. I have the 5 and two of my friends who have the 5c are having the same problem. Hopefully Apple will soon put forth a new update to fix this bug that the 7.1 update caused!

It's not an Apple issue and Apple has nothing to do with it.
The only way to buy an iPhone officially refurbished by Apple is to buy it from an Apple store or via Apple's website.
Refurbished iPhones sold via other retailers are not refurbished by Apple.
Sounds like Wireless Wave did all they could... they refunded your money.
Your only issue is with them. Stop getting all worked up over it.

Tecra M11-17V with Windows 7 - Web Cam image is very grainy

Hi,
Yesterday my webcam (built into the laptop) worked perfectly, today it doesn't....
Whenever I use it now, the image is very grainy, almost like a tartan pattern of criss-crossing lines, but I can still just about make out myself in the background. Movement and sound are still being recorded, just the image is strange.
Please help! Has anyone else had this happen? Is this something I can fix myself, or is it a hardware problem? I have had this laptop about 3months, from brand new, and this is the first problem I've had...
Many thanks,
Dom

Hi Paolo,
Thanks for the tips, but I'm afraid my camera is still out of action....
I've double checked that the protective lens film has been removed, and I've disabled/re-enabled the camera device, updated the camera driver, and completely reinstalled all the camera software to no effect. I've also ruled out conflicting software issues, as the problem persists for both skype calls and the laptop's face recognition software used when logging into my account.
The frustrating thing is that the fault happened suddenly halfway through a skype call. It was working perfectly on minute, and broken the next (seemingly irreversible.... fingers crossed). I had used skype for a mammoth 3hr call the night before, but I hope that wouldn't have "burnt out" the brand new camera...
Do you, or anyone else, know if sounds like a physical problem? Are web cam hardware faults common? I have never dropped the laptop, though it does commute with me on the train into work everyday...
When I first got the laptop, the inbuilt fingerprint scanner didn't work very accurately until I updated the driver software. Is it common for faults to suddenly appear when drivers become "out of date"? Any chance these problems could be related?
Thanks again for your help,
Dom

ITunes 'optimizing' = grainy, bloated, low resolution?

I love my iPod touch, and I can't wait to finally be able to buy an iPhone here in Japan next month, but there's one thing that has always bothered me - photos sync'd through iPhoto-->iTunes are grainy and have bad color. Until now, I've been unable to prove this - but finally I've found a way to prove that it's not just in my head. So, I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to get clear photos on the iPhone/Touch ... ?
First of all, after using the app "PhoneView" to download my sync'd pictures from my iPod BACK to my Mac, I've noticed that the resolutions are different for pictures, depending on whether their orientation is portrait or landscape. For portrait 4x6 images, the resolution is indeed 480x320. However, for landscape orientation, the resolution is consistently 640x426. I think it's kind of odd that iTunes would be sizing photos differently depending on their orientation ... I usually have my full-resolution pictures in iPhoto and sync those images through iTunes, but today I also tried manually resizing my pictures to 640x426 (landscape) and 480x320 (portrait) and then syncing them as a folder, rather than through iPhoto. The results were the same as doing it through iPhoto: disappointing. I've put together a sample, below:
!http://www.mavisxp.com/ipod/iTunes_compression.png!
and another example here.
As you can see, even pictures manually resized before syncing are turning out horribly grainy. What's even more disappointing than the image quality, however, is the file size: my original JPG is 84KB, but the iTunes' "optimized" JPG is *five times as large* (456KB) with inaccurate color and awful grain to boot. I mean, it looks like someone dribbled a basketball all over a glossy print (seriously, that grain's pattern is an exact match with the grain on a basketball) ... Is it supposed to look like that?
+After examining the EXIF data for both pictures, I've noticed another oddity which explains the bad color at least - when iTunes 'optimizes' pictures for the iPod, it apparently assigns them your monitor's color profile! Was this just an oversight that has yet to be corrected? When I export my pictures from Lightroom to iPhoto, I always use the sRGB profile because it's the most standard profile to use when sharing pictures (posting online, emailing, etc) ... My iMac's color profile is a custom Spyder2Pro profile, but that profile is only accurate for THIS MONITOR - certainly not my iPod! Anyway, I've uploaded the original pictures if anyone is interested in checking them out - you can download them in a zip archive here.+
This is the second iPod I've noticed grainy pictures with, so I know it's not just defective hardware. So I guess my question is simple: does anyone know of ANY way to get clear photos sync'd with the iPod Touch or iPhone? I hate to think that my new iPhone is going to suffer from the same sloppy coding, and I'd like to find a workaround if possible. I've poked through plists in iTunes.app and preferences, etc - but I haven't found anything. Any ideas?

Thanks - I tried to put a picture together that would show the problem well - I hope it does the job!
Anyway I've already submitted feedback to Apple twice (once last year, and again this week) but I've never heard back from them. Hopefully they'll fix the issue with an iTunes update sometime - but in the meantime I'm still looking for a workaround. I mean, this problem has existed since last summer - so although I'd love Apple to fix their sloppy coding, I'm not holding my breath.

IPhoto 8.1.2 - on a teacher's iBook: Worked flawlessly 2 weeks ago. Now it continues to lock up, it often will not import scans, I can not rotate a picture - it just flips back and forth. HELP I need to get a project out!

I created a beautiful Keepsake book a week or so ago. It worked flawlessly. Since - I've had several problems (nothing has changed on the computer/system). iPhoto will frequently lock up causing me to force quit. Other times, upon opening, it says that I don't have permission or something to open it. It often is not importing a scan saying it is an unrecognizable format (it's what I used before). When trying to rotate a photo it keeps flipping back and forth and wont stay put.
iPhoto 8.1.2
I've run Disk Utilities multiple times - fixes for about 1-2 scans/launches of iPhoto
I've restarted the computer.
I've tried to update - but can't locate a version my computer will allow me to update to.
Using an HP C3180 scanner/printer --- that is also recently not working ---- locks up, takes FOREVER to scan and then show up on the desktop.
HELP ME!!!! We're trying to get 2 books out for our students before the end of the school year.
Thanks

Sounds like your Library is corrupted to me. Simple solution: restore form your back up.
Other than that:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Thumbnails and low resolution pictures both burn on CD

I remeber when starting iPhoto it asked me something about thumbnails. I must have checked yes, because now when I burn to a CD I get a thumbnail of good quality and a picture with low resolution both on the CD. I burned 31 pictures and on the CD were 62. I had the larger imalges printed and they turned out horrible. What's up??

If you used the Share->Burn menu option they you will get an iPhoto organized CD with both the thumbnail files (in the Data folder) and the full sized files (in the Originals folder). That type of disk is intended for use by iPhoto when the disk is mounted in the drive. It shows up in the Source pane of iPhoto.
If you're looking for a disk to uses on PCs or take to a photo finisher then you need to use the File->Export menu option and export the full sized image file to the CD to be burned.

After 5 minutes, all sound goes all grainy and distorted PLEASE HELP!!

Hello people,
After 5 minutes, all sound goes all grainy and distorted!! Using Logic Pro 8.
This happens especially if I crank the speakers semi-loud. This is not a problem with the speakers as Itunes plays perfectly. I have no idea why this is happening! The problem disappears when I restart Logic only to reappear again 5 minutes later.
The sound goes super grainy and I cant really make out anything. Is Logic overloading the sound card or something? Although this never happened before and it is a Tascam US-144, usually very good.
If anyone knows why this is happening I'd really appreciate some help.
Thank you, all the best!!
Tristan

Hello and thank you for your time! The speakers I do believe are active in that they have their own power source. They are Behringer MS40's. The headphones indeed also suffer the graininess, any sound that comes out of the sound card via Logic!
At the moment the buffer is at maximum of 1024 with a large Process Buffer Range as it runs more smoothly this way. Does it help if I change this? Is there any other settings I can try changing which may realistically fix the problem? Unfortunately the technical side is not my forte, being a songwriter rather than a producer.
Yes Itunes also plays via the Tascam with perfect results!
Unfortunately, this distorted sound and graininess happens with every Logic project, the more Audio tracks it seems, the more frequently.
You have been very kind, thank you. If you have any ideas of how I can fix this then please do let me know.
PS. Something I noticed is that this started happening after some guy screamed into the Mic for a laugh whilst recording and the project instantly crashed. I do believe there is a connection between the Audio tracks and the grainiess rather than the MIDI tracks.
Sometimes I can get a good 15/20 minutes of working time before the sound becomes distorted again! Which is what I've been doing these past 2 days.
All the best,
Tristan

HP Mini 1030NR Bad audio, very Tinny and low...

I purchased the mini around christmas of last year and I was hoping this would have been resolved but the audio driver is still nothing like I expected. It is far too tinny and low even after it has had the latest updated drivers.
I have been unable to find help online or with tech support. They have recommended trying other driver sites, but they have no direct links to specific drivers and will not support outside audio drivers.
Any ideas?
Everything else about the machine is great!

I have heard this complaint about the MINIs from other people as well. To the best of my knowledge there is nothing really to be done about it. The speakers in those notebooks are about the size of a quarter, they simply do not put out much noise, or very high quality noise. There are speakers of that size that put out better sound, but they cost considerably more, and the concept of the MINI is a ultra-portable notebook for an affordable price, and the speakers are one of the trade-offs. I would recomend, if the sound quality is important to you, putting the money that would have been in the cost of the notebook towards a nice set of earphones or travel-sized speakers.
They may eventualy release a driver that could concievably make the sound better, but no driver will ever be able to change what the speakers are physicaly capable of.
-Good Luck

Activity Monitor shows very little free space. Help?

I am wanting to do Photoshop Creative Suite 6 on my MacBook Pro and everything is running SO SLOW! I have opened the Activity Monitor to check things out. I am not a computer expert at all, so I have included some information below in hopes that this will help dissect the problem.
It seems to me that the following numbers are high and I am wondering if I can TRASH anything that is taking up too much space? What programs on my MacBook Pro are taking up SO MUCH space? When I open my computer, I only start running FireFox and Entourage. Should I get rid of other icons in my dock that are not running? By being on the dock, does this use RAM?
I had a lot of pictures on iphoto and I moved them all to an external hard drive.
I have emptied the iphoto trash and double-clicked the actual trash can to delete everything!
I don't have any third party software on my computer. I have heard that this can be bad, so I don't have any of that.
I did purchase Mac Cleaner (or something similar) several years ago, and it caused MAJOR problems on my computer. I had to start from scratch and set up everything again with the help of a great MAC products person on the phone. I want to TRASH anything that is taking up extra space (cashe) but I don't want to buy a third party "MAC Cleaning" product.

Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Software: OSX 10.8.5
It also shows in the "About the Mac" that L2 Cache is 3 MB. This seems high for the cashe. Can this be cleaned up somehow?
I realize that the following numbers fluctuate, but gave the "ballpark" numbers as they are coming up now.
The GREEN portion of the "pie" is almost non-existent. The % User fluctuates between 5.00 and 8.00. The RED % System is at about 2.50. The Black % Idle fluctuates between 80.00 and 90.00.

Since your computer is five years old there is no warranty to negate. If if there were, replacing the RAM in a MacBook Pro would not void the warrantly. If you update the RAM, keep the old RAM just in case.
The new RAM is a $100 investment. Compare that to a Retina MBP with 8 GB of RAM for $1,400 (128 GB SSD) or $1,500 (256 GB SSD). Your choice.
Take a look at the free tutorial at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook on replacing RAM in your MBP to see if you think it is easy enough for you. I expect you will.
On a 2009 MacBook (not Pro) I recently upgraded the RAM to 8 GB and the disk to an SSD and it improved the boot time and application start times dramatically. Now it runs most things as fast as my MacBook Air. It even boots faster than my MBA. That was about a $200 investment. So I my expereince is it is worth updating older Macs.
Rather than installiing an expensive SSD, you can boost the speed of the disk dramatically to SSD-like speeds for about $110.
I am referring to the Seagate 1T Hybrid SSHD 2.5” drive selling for about $110 on Amazon. It includes an 8 GB SSD cache that really speeds up your I/O and with 1 TB of storage you should never run out of disk space.
It is fairly easy to replace the disk yourself, especially if you purchase the following inexpensive kits:
Toolkit: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TOOLKITMHD/ (referenced above)
USB 2.0 disk enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BPU2S/
Again, go to ifixit.com for a tutoral on replacing the disk.
Porting the data is easy:
Install the new drive in the external enclosure.
Boot the Recovery Partition (Boot then hold down Command and R simultaneously).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
(If your system came with installation disks, boot from them.)
Use the Disk Utility Partition tab to format the drive Mac OS Extended (journaled) with a GUID partition.
Disk Utility > Partition > Partiton Layout: Singe Partition > Options… > GUID Partition Table > OK > Name: Macintosh HD2 > Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled) > Apply >
Erase tab > Name: Macintosh HD2 > Security Options… > single pass of zeroes > OK > Erase…
(Wait, this will take a long time.)
Clone the existing drive onto the new one:
Disk Utility > Restore > Source "Macintosh HD” or whatever the old system disk is named.
> Destination: “Macintosh HD2” or whatever you named it.
> Restore
(Wait. This well take some time.)
Physically swap the two drives using the tutorial above.
Boot normally.
Save the old disk as an archived backup until you are sure you don’t need it.
Be sure to backup your system before any software updates or hardware upgrades.

Whenever I sign into Safari the web page will show black, blue, and white static. What is this? They said it is not a virus, but I am concerned there is something going on with my computer! Any recommendations on how to fix this?

If you cannot use COMMAND+R to boot into the recoveyr partition, see if a SMC and PRAM reset followed by Safe Boot helps:

Hi dq2dq2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It's always a good idea to first back up your iPhone before making an major changes.
If you have iTunes Match, you have access to all of the music you delete from your device.

Updating to IOS7 caused all files on iPad to disappear and restore from iTunes does not work

I recently updated my iPad to IOS7. Before doing so, I backed up the contents to iTunes. After completing the update, I found that the iPad has been completely cleared out of all files. .It is now completely empty and prompts for a new setup when I turn it on.
So naturally I tried to restore from iTunes. However, although the restore process appears to have completed, nothing changes at all on the iPad. It remains a blank slate.
Can someone please advise how I can recover my files? There are a lot of important photos I want to preserve. Perhaps I am missing some obvious step.
Thank you
