Large blotch appears on display

I have an iBook G4 which Apple replaced for my G3. The G3 was part of the extended logic board program; they tried to repair it three times but were unsuccessful. I've had the G4 for less than 12 months. I've never had a problem with it until today. When I turned it on there was a very large blotch of black and white in a free-form design covering 3/4 of the screen. I tried to restart, then shut-down and restart but nothing got rid of the blotch. I can see the outline of the blotch when the machine is off. Is this another logic board problem? I wrote to Apple and am waiting for their reply.

Not correct. You received a refurbished G4 as a
replacement for your G3.
Hmmm... Interesting concept. According to the
Customer Relations person who sent it to me
originally, it was new. According to the Customer
Service guy my husband talked to today, the only way
to get a refurbished laptop is to actually purchase
one (and he said he couldn't look it up by the S/N
because once it was registered to us, all he sees is
our info.)
Then this is an even better reason to buy from Apple. In the electronics industry, it is standard practice to use refurbished components when repairing/replacing defective one. That is what is written on the fine print of every RMA I have ever seen. That doesn't mean they can't or won't give you new parts for a repair or replacement. It just means if they do, they are going above and beyond anyone else. And, for what it's worth, I would take a refurbished Apple over a new PC any day. I am a proud owner of an Apple-refurbished iPod - works like a charm.
This whole discussion has re-lit the fire in my
husband and he is pushing the issue now (it is still
under warranty until Oct.)
Squeaky wheel gets the grease. I just think that if you had one of the lemon G3 that had to be repaired 6 times and finally replaced, and the replacement screen cracked, they should give you a new machine. You've suffered enough.
We would have purchased what instead?? A PC? And
perhaps run Windows on it?? (excuse me while I pick
myself up off the floor from laughing.)
That's nice to hear to a change. Usually it is something like - "I bought this first generation MacBook and it has a funny noise and runs hot. I'm filing a class-action lawsuit!!!"

    Hi,
    I think it may be <div class="html5gallery-viral-0"> (contains the social media buttons) // screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-08-01_1033.png
    It's the only element that isn't in sync with the other elements on page, when compared to home.html for example.

  • Custom widget - rollover image to make a larger one appear and blur background

    I am working on a Muse site.  I am looking for a way to take an image (say an icon or small photo) and make it so when you roll the mouse over it, a larger photo appears and goes fullscreen - also the background would maybe slightly blur or some type of effect like that.
    Does anyone know of a way to easily do this or if there is an effect I can purchase?

    You can use composition for similar effect but yes this would not work with mouse hover action but user will have to click on content (image) , else you can use any zoom third party widget to enlarge an image with mouse hover.
    Thanks,

  • Black keyboard randomly appearing, sometimes displaying my login passcode

    iPad 3, iOS 8.1.1 (12B435).
    As the title says.  A black keyboard randomly appears, sometimes displaying my login passcode as four digits at the top left of the superimposed keyboard.  It happens any time, during any task (usually not entering text where the keyboard is required).  I always use a quality bluetooth keyboard and only occasionally use the screen keyboard for selecting eMoji characters.  This is achieved by hitting the relevant bluetooth keyboard button to call up the screen keyboard.
    It's difficult to make the black random keyboard disappear.  The usual keyboard-call button doesn't do it, nor mostly does pressing the home button.  When I hit the home button, it works as it should, but the black keyboard stays on top and then half-covers the app icons. See two of the screenshots below, one which shows the (now-blanked-out)four-digit code enclosed in quotes.
    I'm pretty concerned this is a security issue (and I'm far from being a paranoid person), especially since my login code (which I've changed) appeared for all to see.
    Any ideas?  Thanks. :-)

    To attach a screen shot first move the insertion point ( blinking blue line) downtwo rows. Tap the tiny camera icon. Tap the center of the window that opens up. Tap choose file. Tap photo lubrary. Tap moments Chose image by tapping on it. Tap insert image. Unfortunately I don't know how to keep the black keyboard from appearing.
    Edit. I see you figured it out without me. Well done.

  • Parsing large xml file and display using swing

    Hi all,
    I want to read a large xml file and display graphically in swing as a tree structure.
    I implemented it and works fine for files of 5MB size after increasing the jvm heap size (-Xmx). If the file size is larger than 5MB it throws out of memory error. I'm creating a custom datastructure from the xml and I'm using sax parsing.
    After displaying the datastructure, the user could do some operation on this, like search etc.
    Can any of you suggest a method, to support larger files ? What I'm looking for is create the datastructure in file system, rather than in memory.
    Any other tips for memory management would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Large gaps appearing between content when exporting to HTML

    Good afternoon,
    I'm relatively new to Muse and I'm evaluation whether to purchase a subscription, but this problem has got me very frustrated. I have very large gaps appearing between content in my designs, causing the site to look terrible and not anywhere near how it looks in Muse.
    I have seen this error reported on the forums earlier, and I have checked and can't see any "hidden text boxes" or "0 wide content" causing this bug. Please look at my screenshots for an explanation of the problem.
    This is what I see in Muse, it looks relatively clean and I'm liking how it appears.
    But when I export to HTML, I get this atrocity.
    The Muse file is available to download from here:

  • Larger Document Appears Black and Displays Incorrectly

    Hello,
    I have just purchased Web Premium CS4. Photoshop CS4 Extended was included with the package and I installed and ran it. Sadly any large document I tried to open appears black and sometimes when I zoom in partly displays with random black lines through it. I have checked my system's specs and they all match up with the requirements. I am running Vista SP1 on a Dell computer. I have read all the knowledge base articles relating to this matter and have done everything they said (including disabling OpenGL, etc.) but still the problem continues. Is there any way or patch/addon to fix this?
    Thank You So Much,
    Bailey

    Do they open up in other images manipulation software packages? Try CS3 if you have it.
    What size, format (psb, tiff, etc) are they?
    I've only experienced what you say with corrupt files...I hope that's not the case here.

  • Large images appear black

    Large images may appear as black blocks. I've used 9GAG as an example because it happens quite often on 9GAG (so it was easy to find an example), but it happens on some other websites too. The images are displayed correctly in other browsers.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • HT201343 I am trying to stream a video from U-tube on to my TV using my apply T.V. The airplay icon appears on my i-tunes but not on u-tube. It does stream on to my T.V using i-tunes so I take it it does have airplay, but does not appear n display menu. H

    Airplay works on I-tunes but not on sites where you might want to stream, such as U-tube. It does not appear on my display menu settings, but as i-tunes as the icon I am thinking the computer must have the capability. Can anyone help, how to I turn airplay on so I can stream using my apple TV. I am sure as I-tune is working I have everything set up right.

    Mirroring requires OSX 10.8 or higher.
    Just use the YouTube app on the ATV.

  • Flash CC is showing objects too large on my retina display?

    For example,
    If i create an image 2560px wide (which is the width of my screen) in photoshop and then import into Flash CC, it shows up on the Flash stage as almost twice that wide....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    In addition to simple pixel resolutions photoshop has the option of ppi.
    If you choose 144 ppi (which might be reasonable if you target retina displays) and 550x400 pixel
    The picture will appear double sized on flash old-school 72pppi /550x400 pixel stage.

  • Clip appearance not displaying in event browser in filmstrip view

    Some of the clips in the event browser don't display a visual in the filmstrip view until I skim over it.  Any clue?

    Here is a solution to the problem: 
    In the Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder,
    enter   /Users/Your user name//Movies/iMovie Library.imovielibrary/Name of Event/
    (Name of Event is exactly as it appears in the Event Browser)
    Select Go
    This takes you to the folder in iMovie Library for that event, and you will see the contents of that folder as several folders and perhaps a file.  One of the folders is Original Media.  Open that folder and you will see individual files of the individual clips contained in that Event.   Delete the file of choice in the usual OS X way. iI will then appear in the Trash folder.  Empty the trash and it is gone.
    This solution was suggested by Shirt Pocket Support, which provides technical help for the backup app SuperDUper.  I am indebted to them.

  • Problem w/lines appearing on displays

    Need a little help. Basically all the sudden these slanted vertical lines stating appearing all over my dual display setup. They go away if I move a window pane over them or try to grab them with the mouse. Even sometimes when I do drag a window pane the lines appear worse, and the graphics that makeup a window pane become jagged. If I click around the messed up graphics it gets fixed. Is this a video card problem? The fan is working on my graphics card. I don't think it's the displays, more of a software related issue it seems. But wanted to check 1st.

    The US Military has developed a very sophisticated model of failures of electronic equipment. But if you are not using just-invented products and launching them into space, the main factors that dominate predicted failure rates are:
    • Number of transistors
    • chip junction temperature
    Display cards have huge numbers of transistors due to the complexity of their processors and the enormous amount of fast memory. They also run fast, which means they run HOT. They would be predicted to fail very frequently.
    Yet posters here very seldom post problems that are resolved with, "looks like a bad display card". To me this says either:
    • They don't fail as often as we expect. \[In which case, kudos to the card designers for robust designs and good cooling!]
    • When they fail, the problem is so obvious that the complaints never make it to postings here -- they are replaced without any need for additional debugging.

  • Large icon appears in middle of desktop--can't get rid of it.

    Daughter was using computer. Now a large icon--the microphone--periodically appears in the middle of the desktop no matter what I am doing. Can't get rid of it.

    Blakespot:
    If you haven't done this already, boot from the Leopard DVD (hold down 'C' after (re)starting your computer, until you are prompted to choose a language. Then wait until the installer appears.) Ignore the installer. Instead, move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen, wait for a menu to appear, then, from the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Select your Macintosh HD, and perform a "Repair Disk".
    After that reboot again from the HD and check how your disk space is reported by OSx.

  • How to read local large JPEG files and display into Images Tile

    Hi all,
    I can read the local multiple files by FLEX/AIR FileListEvent
    and loader to read the large JPEG files but cannot display them
    into a TileList. Since it is a number of images files, how can I
    put them into a thumbnail TileList.
    Please kindly advise.
    Regards,
    Billy

    1. So I would like to know which is the {color:#3366ff}best way to load local images in ImageView{color}.I'm no expert, but is there a reason that you are using Swing to do the loading?
    2. secondly, currently the system displays all images only after the completion of creating all images. {color:#3366ff}How to display images as and when they are created.{color} So that the user has a feeling that the images are loading.JavaFX Image class let you display a lightweight placeholder, and you can bind the progress to some kind of visual indicator. I don't think you can display an image that is partially loaded.
