ISight shows some lines and weird colors in every software and user

Since saturday, the day i got my brand new mac, i've been reading the topics around here. None of them seem to resemble my issue.
On saturday i charged the mac, turned it on and took a picture on Photobooth. Everything was normal until that very same night when i turned it on again and the camera showed some lines and went from normal color to green, then to red. I could see myself but not in proper colors. Got no message of camera in use nor it was undetected.
I let it rest for a while and tested again on Sunday, Monday and today and it's the same thing. It has nothing to do with photobooth effects because 'normal' shows an image with the issue and the lines appear in every effect.
I've already followed all troubleshooting guides and nothing worked (every software and every user has the issue, USB is recognized and SMC restart made no change) I'd love to call the support line but my work schedule keeps me from doing it.
I'd love to show you a picture i took with this issue but i have no idea how to post it around here.
hope i can get some help before giving up and sending it back to the store.
Thanks already!

Welcome to Discussions, alequihdez
You have posted clear explanation of thorough troubleshooting!
Your new Mac almost certainly has a hardware problem.
Return your new Mac to see if the retailer as soon as possible.
If he cannot immediately correct the problem, he may exchange it.

And never heard of one case of AHT finding or reporting a real GPU related problem.
It does sound like the graphic card and best way to know is to swap it out, even if you have a PC card around.

Mail app not showing some png and pdf attachments.

I'm using the iPhone 4s and recently, both mobileme and yahoo email accounts are not showing some png and pdf attachments. I'm seeing the attachment is there, but it doesn't load. Load remote images is turned on in settings. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution/explanation?

My work email account is an IMAP account.
I removed my work email account on my home computer this morning to test out this problem on my computer at work. I just sent a test message to my work account from my iPhone. My iPhone, iPad and computer at work still have my work email active on them and all the devices are showing the test message as new and unread. The problem seems to be that when I have my work email activated on my home computer, the messages do not show new and unread on the rest of my devices.

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!

Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available

I am having some issues with the spy menu. In order to try and fix my issues I built the menu from scratch again on one of my pages. Everything works now on that page and when I upload it to the server, it is all there.
However, when I then copy and paste the menu to all the other pages and upload the the server, the submenu doen't show anymore. When I go and troubleshoot it and highlight the menu in its entirety and click properties, no properties will show. On the working page, this ation delievers me a properties bar where I can + or - menu items. Why is this? As this must be why the submenu is not showing either?
The page where everything works is this (See sub menu under coaching clinics) http://www.golifecoaching.com.au/go-beyond-registration-test but on every other page on this website, this submenu disappears.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out and don't fancy having to build the menu from scratch for every page. There has to be a better way.
I use CS4 and this is my menu;
   <div id="navigation">
    
    <ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">

That is brilliant, that is exactly it! Thank you sooooo much for your suggestion. I am so relieved.
Yes a template would be best, but I am not sure how to do that, so I am left with doubling my work evertime I make a change on this site.
Thanks Jen

Subject: Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available
Disclaimer: I am new to coding in general and this is my first attempt to help someone.
I think the properties bar with the + - has to do with the javascript coding that is generated when you create a new tag, and it is located near the bottom of the page just before the closing body tag.
looks something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar2 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar2", );
</script>
so dont forget to copy that over too. Also, check the CSS that is associated within each page and make sure they are all in the same style.
P.S. Have you considered using a template for the menu bar so you dont have to copy it over each time?

Just received iPad2 and don't understand setting up WiFi and Cellular connections. When I turn it on it shows some bars and AT

When I turn iPad2 on it shows some bars and AT&T in the top upper left corner of screen. Does this mean I am connected to AT&T cellular service? I have not signed up for AT&T service yet. I have a Wifi connection at home and have been trying to connect to it, but I am not sure I have been successful since AT&T is howing in the left side of screen. If I ap Settings, Wi-FI the screen shows my home wifi connection with a check mark beside it. Is Wi-Fi connected? If not, how do I connect. When I first tried, after tap on my home Wi-Fi identity I got another screen asking for details on the connection that I didn't have any idea of. When I went to the game center I was asked for password for Wi-Fi which I entered, but Wi-Fi identity never showed up anywhere in the top of the screen. So, I don't know what type of connection I have going and it appears that the AT&T connection is always on. That'snot what I want. I would mostly use Wi-Fi and only AT7T when away from home base.
Appreciate any help and sorry for such a basic question. this is my first Apple device.

What you might find useful is the user guide, the address of which was on the card that was in the iPad's box:

My firefox doesn't show some lines, graphics, words

I can't see inside boxes when writing email; boxes don't show up, lines are missing, options for fonts, colors, backgrounds are all blank.
Many words overlap making them difficult to read.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.

PB G4 with 10.4.5 - Safari only shows some images and system won't update..

Hi,
I really hope you can help me with some good ideas on how to fix this problem.
A PowerBook G4 running 10.4.5.
Suddely Safari stopped showing some of the images on webpages (only white instead). I deleted the Safari preferences, did a reset to default of Safari and even created a new user to test Safari - same result.
As the machine is running 10.4.5 I startede Software update to update to 10.4.6 as I was hoping this could take care of the strange problem. When trying to update the Software update gets halv way in the status bare and just hangs in the same spot.
I then downloaded the 10.4.6 combo updater from Apple.com. When I start the update program I get to the screen where I have to choose a disk to install onto - the only problem is that there are no disk icons !
I have tried doing a fsck -yf on the disk and I have also fixed the permissions - still I get the same result when trying to run the combo updater.
Please help - any good suggestions to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated !
Cheers,
Finn

Give this a try:
Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Dropped iPhone 3G shows vertical lines and dark/light stips only--but works.

I just gave my son my old 3G (to use as iTouch basically). He bought a case to protect it and then dropped it (which I had done tons of times without problem). Now the phone only shows vertical lines, darkness, lightness--but it does sync and sounds like it actually opens up when you slide your finger in the usual spot.
Is the phone a gonner or is there hope for a very sad 9 yo boy? thx.

I misspelled stripes in the sub ject line, but you got the idea

MSI FX5600-VTDR128 shows vertical lines and blinking dots even in BIOS

Just got a MSI FX5600-VTDR128 and tested it with three different mobos. This issue happens in all of them.
The screen shows blinking dots and vertical lines even in bios sceen, and also in Windows XP.
This is a random issue, I mean... it doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while!!
I want to avoid all the RMA pain in the *** as I bought it via Internet, and wonder if there's somthing I can do as flashing bios, testing the card's memory etc... before sending back my card :(
As it's a issue that also happens in bios I'm afraid this is a bad hardware failure and the only thing I can do is to send my card back, am I right?
Thanks in advance...

Hi!
Well... I managed to change the DVI mode of my LCD screen to normal analog mode and.... BINGO!! no blinking dots and no lines!! :D
I think I'm going to avoid RMA hell at last!. I'll keep analog mode, as far as I know it's way faster than DVI (16ms vs 20ms) and I'm going to avoid a real hell here :D
I passed through a RMA with a DDR400 module and I can say it was a real pain.
I'm into advanced computing (power user 8))since 1994, and I'm really dissapointed about how things are developing. I mean hey! there was absolutely no crap with my 486 DX2, my Pentium 100 & Pentium 120 nor with my AMD K6-III 450Mhz.
Almost no mem/mobo/vga issues or incompabilities...
As technology develops, now with DDR400, lots of crappy hardware, lots of incompabilities, RMAs, strange issues, faulty hardware....
Please note it's just my point of view, but it's a sad reality...
Well I'm becoming a doomsayer and pessimist, and I'm having a happy day since I managed to solve my problem so I'll become perpetually overoptimistic happy
btw I'm from Spain (Europe) and I usually buy from a very big hardware shop because it has very good prices (185€ for my FX5600 card), the downside of this is the shop being 600Km from my city!...
Have a happy nice day you all!! :D
PD: pls don't hate me, gfilitti :D

Help - ipod shows red lines and displays white screen?

This is the 3rd Ipod Touch, 4th Generation, I've had in 2 years. Something has been wrong with each one of them. The one I have now is only 2 months old and unfortunately my Apple Care Warranty has expired, last month. I was not allowed to purchase a new Apple Care warranty for the new Ipod, so basically I am stuck with another "lemon". Here's the problem, this time.
My Ipod shows 2 thin red lines which extend half way across the screen from left to right, upper left corner when holding Ipod vertically. sometimes when turning the Ipod on, the screen is almost all white and I can barely see the time and "slide to unlock". It always happens when I plug into power. Also, the red lines flash bright white at times and then extend across the entire screen. If I take a picture of it, (holding down power and home buttons) it looks normal.
Has anyone else had such a problem? Can anyone suggest a solution? I'd like to take this to Apple and say, "What the heck?" Is it policy to replace a defective product with one that they wouldn't sell in their store but is OK to give as a replacement? I love my Ipod Touch, but this is extemely frustrating!
IPod Touch, 4th Generation, IOS 6.0.1

I have not seen that problem here before. Likely a hardware bproblem but
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
I'd like to take this to Apple and say, "What the heck?"
Do that but nicely
Is it policy to replace a defective product with one that they wouldn't sell in their store but is OK to give as a replacement?
No. The replacment is a refurbished one that should work like new.

Norton utilities claims version 24 has adware in it and will not show some URLs and disables other URLs.

after upgrading to version 24 Firefox for windows, the Norton tool bar is incompatible with Firefox, no big deal I did not like it anyway, disabled it.
But when Norton Antivirus went and scanned my system it comes back with the message that Firefox has Adware in it and must be removed.
Firefox now will not correctly display some URLs that I use Particularly the WWW.wunderground.com ones and others are just disabled. These are ones that I use with my Weather-station hobby. I am not sending this from the machine that has Norton installed but my work machine, I can work on this later when I get home.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 24: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Display showing grid lines and craziness.

How can I find out what is causing this issue?
From what I've read it could possibly be a failing graphics card, failing LCD, or loose wire.
Here are my specs:
iMac (27-inch, Late 212)
Processor: 3.4 GHZ Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (upgraded myself)
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
I'm a photographer and videographer, so I'm sure my graphics card gets quite a workout often. I've also come back to find that my computer has restarted itself, likely due to the issue.

I would make an appointment with a Genuis and show them the screen prints. I had this issue with a Macbook and it was a motherboard issue. That does not mean your issue is the same - but it needs to be checked. Screen prints like yours are so helpful for them to diagnose.
