Leopard 10.5.2 Graphics Update Screws up Resolution?

I have an outboard Viewsonic 22" Monitor and after installing the 10.5.2 Leopard Graphics Update that just released today, my monitor shows as a generic "Color LCD" rather than the Viewsonic. I'm connected using a DVI connector.
The display works, but the resolutions don't show in the display preferences that I need; it shows only resolutions on the native display, not on the Viewsonic monitor.

I have the same problem, however it was working fine for a while. Now, it has same LCD option, not the HP 23" that i have hooked up.
Apple, please fix!

  • Problems with Snow Leopard Graphics Update

    I downloaded the new graphics update for Snow Leopard, but when I go to install it it says I need at least a version 10.6.4 OS to use it. I double checked my OS, and that is exactly what I have. What's the problem?

    Well I found out what was going on in another thread, apparently my computer already has it incorporated in it, just Steam doesn't recognize that.

  • Snow Leopard Graphics Update question...

    How do you know if you have the Snow Leopard Graphics Update is installed on your Mac? Can one check in system profiler? Is that I went from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4 via software update, and then when I ran Software Update in 10.6.4, it only showed the Mac OS X 10.6.5 Update rather than the Snow Leopard Graphics Update and the security update as supposed to, I was hoping that when I installed the OSX 10.6.5 update it also instlled the Snow Leopard Graphics update and all the Security Updates issued in 10.6.4 run.
    Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

    I was hoping that when I installed the OSX 10.6.5 update it also instlled the Snow Leopard Graphics update and all the Security Updates issued in 10.6.4 run.
    It did.

  • Leopard graphic update

    I downloaded and installed the recommended Leopard graphic update, and now certain type on websites appears blurry. I've had this problem before, but fixed it by changing the font smoothing style and text sharpening, however, now no matter what changes I make, the problem persists. Is there anything else I can do? For all intents and purposes major sites like CNN's breaking news banner reads like I'm wearing coke-bottle glasses, and working with larger non-standard type in Pages is giving me a headache. Any advice welcome.

    It's actually what I do all the times. When I say that I start in 'closed lid' mode I intend that I open the lid to press the start button and immediately close the lid. In this particular case the Apple Cinema Display remains inactive and after a short while the apple on the lid of my Macbook Pro turns lit and when I open the screen has a black multi language alert which advise me to restart my machine by pressing the start button. After I restart the my Mac in 'open lid' mode and after I log in, appears a message that tells me that the system was restarted after crash and here comes the detailed error that follows:

    I hope that Apple will fix this issue as soon as possible.
    There is one more thing: as I told before, I thought that the culprit was the graphic update 1,0 but today I have the same problem without it.
    Help needed! Thank you.

  • Display problems after installing 10.5.2 and the leopard graphics update

    Shortly after installing the leopard graphics update, my display started exhibiting problems.
    The next day, the powerbook wouldn't even boot, just leaving me at a blue screen.
    I tried verifying permissions and verifying disk, reinstalling leopard and eventually did a fresh install of Tiger, which boots, but crashes frequently and has graphics corruption as visible in this screenshot:
    http://pics.livejournal.com/dorukai/pic/000fw0hw
    The same corruption is visible on a second monitor if I connect one.
    The timing (being right after installing the graphics update) suggests that the update somehow caused this problem (flashing the video card firmware maybe?) but any ideas at all are very welcome at this point!
    Unfortunately after installing Tiger I kept getting updates, and one has broken the ability to boot normally, I can only boot in safe mode

    I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.

  • Graphics update for snow leopard. HELP!

    Hey! I just downloaded a game app called steam(not too important) and i downloaded this game. The only problem is that its insanely laggy. So  i wanna know if there are any graphics update for 2011 snow leopard. I checked my version and it says im running 10.6.7. Im not sure if thats goodor bad so someone let me now what i have to do to make my mac a little better with gaming. I do not game a lot, but i really want this game :')
    Heres some of the info!:
      Model Name:    MacBook
      Model Identifier:    MacBook4,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:    1
      Total Number Of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache:    3 MB
      Memory:    2 GB
      Bus Speed:    800 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:    MB41.00C1.B00

    If there is a graphics update, it will be incorporated into an update via Software Update. There is no other way to update graphics cards or drivers in a Mac.
    Your Macbook only has 2 GB RAM -  it may help to increase RAM (of course that won't help the graphics issue), but it may help.

  • MetaX is suddenly Failing after Snow Leopard Graphics Update?

    Is anyone else experiencing any problems with MetaX (http://www.kerstetter.net/index.php/projects/software/metax) causing movies in iTunes to no longer play? I have been using that software extensively previously but since installing the last few updates (Snow Leopard Graphics Update?) everytime I use MetaX to set the tags on my video files it causes them to display a black screen with no audio.

    Thanks amop. I was having the same problem intermitently and this worked a treat.
    Cheers....

  • 10.5.2 update and Leopard Graphics update = no sleep mode

    All, After updating my MacBook Pro to 10.5.2 and the Leopard Graphics update, my computer will not longer enter sleep mode after a specified time. I can manually set the computer to sleep mode, but it will not automatically go to sleep mode. I have tried resetting the System Management Control Center VIA http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 and everything else in that doc.
    Any suggestions?
    TIA Jon

    Call AppleCare and see if they can help.
    Regular trouble shooting
    1) Create a new account, name it test or something
    2) log into that account to see if the behavior changes
    3) If it does, then there is some problem in your own account.
    4) If it doesn't, restart.
    5) If the behavior still doesn't change, there is some system configuration error
    In this case
    6) Open Disk Utility. Verify your disk, then repair permissions (not likely to fix the problem but will at least eliminate that possibilty)
    7) Get a copy of Leopard Cache Cleaner and do a MODERATE cache cleaning
    8) Restart
    If still not fixed, reset PRAM and the SMU. Look on the Apple web site for instructions for your particular computer.
    If still not different, do an Archive and Install. However go to the Apple web site and download the 10.5.2 Combo updater first. After you Archive and Install from either the disk that came with your computer (assuming that it is Leopard) or the retail Leopard installer. Then run the combo updater. Then run Software Update.
    These problems are disturbing and really shouldn't happen, but they do. However, they can be fixed and you'll find that Mac OS is, overall, much better than the alternatives.
    BTW, I just went through this whole mess for crashes on wake from sleep (USB issues) and failure to sleep (printer driver issue). Another computer had DHCP problems and actually needed a reinstall. However both of them are working fine now even though it was a pain getting there.

  • Battlefield 2142 plaing SLOW after latest Leopard graphics update

    I love using my MacBook Pro to play Battlefield 2142... but ever since I updated the software (which included a Leopard graphics update) the graphics are choppy, the play is stalling and generally slow.
    What gives? It was working great before the update!?

    I had the same problem with 5.3 and went back to 5.2 in order to play vid games. I saw 5.4 and thought befor I tried it Id call apple tech support to see what the deal is. I didnt get a straight answer. I am going to wait on the game manufactures to see if an update is planned. other wise I may have to get a microsoft dedicated machine for all my vid games. and it doesnt make sence to have to purchase 2 laptops.

  • Leopard Graphics Update

    Has anyone noticed an improvement in gaming on the Santa Rosa Macbook? Specifically, I was wondering if frame rates on WOW have improved.

    Trying to install the Leopard Graphics Update (via Software Update).
    When I do, it gives me the following error:
    The update "Leopard Graphics Update" can't be saved
    You do not have the appropriate access privileges
    The Installer package has been moved to the Trash
    To try again, open the package from the Finder
    I am the only user/administrator for this computer. It is not connected to a network, nor does it have any enabled sharing.
    I just loaded up all the other updates from today (I think Garage Band, Keyboard Firmware, etc.) without problem or error message.
    So here's my question: Is this update worth the aggravation of trying to figure out how to install it? If it is, what steps should I take to get it onto my system?
    It's worth fixing only because it is a symptom of something else that is wrong. It's little things like this that should not be ignored because they may portend a larger issue.
    I would first run DU and check the HD and also permissions verify/repair, if necessary.
    You should also create another user account temporarily, with full admin privileges and see if you can install the Update via that user. If you can, then there is something wrong with your present admin account that must be fixed.
    If not, then you have to proceed further, looking at the system logs, console, etc., for what it causing the problem.
    It's important in keeping an OS running perfectly, never to go past an issue without resolving it.
    This is often why upgrades or updates fail in the first place.
    Thanks!

  • Snow Leopard Graphics Update refuses to Install

    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4
    And the Snow Leopard Graphics Update won't install, and reports:
    "Snow Leopard Graphics Update can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.6.4."
    So far I've tried...rebooting and disk verify, and would welcome any other suggestions.
    Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    the Snow Leopard Graphics Update was released before your 2010 Mac Pro was released so chance are very good that the Graphics Update is already incorporated in the Snow Leopard version you have on the Mac Pro.
    Plus the 2010 Mac Pros are not mentioned in the "Products Affected" list of the Graphics Update http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4286
    So, in short you don't need this update.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Mac: Graphic Update of Snow Leopard (08/19/10) stopped LR3 from working

    I wonder if I'm the only one who has a problem with the latest Apple Update  named "Graphic Update 1.0 for Snow Leopard" from last night. After I installed the update on my iMac 27" with quad core i5, 8Gb RAM I accidently used LR 3 RC 3.2 when I recognized that the brushes and all other editing tools where really slow. Even after clicking the brush it took sometimes up to 15 sec. until the tool got selected. Using the brush was slow and without any effect on working either.
    I recognized that I was usign the RC 3.2 release which I stopped working with as I have had several issues on that release before with long loading times of photos to edit. So I switched back to the normal release 3.0 which was working OK for me before. But now I have the same issues on the official 3.0 release. Even 3.0 is now very, very stringy and tools aren't working, too. Using the loupe, which shows the magnification immediatly takes now 15 sec. to show the magnification and some more sec. until it is sharp. Switching to next photo takes around 25 sec. which was done in around 3 sec. before.
    Now idea what happend, but I think I have to reinstall the OS and get the latest data from my TM.

    thanks exploded view, you're right, I should try it before. It was so obvious that only the update could have been the matter....
    If so normally I expected more people having that problem.
    Bert,
    Was this specific to the iMac?  I just checked for updates on my Macbook Pro and nothing came up about a Graphic update.  I went through the process of backing off an update (10.6.4 back to 10.6.3).  It wasn't exactly pretty, but not impossible.  You may have to do some reinstalls afterward if you find you need to choose that route.  In my case I reinstalled Snow Leopard from the DVD first, preserving current user settings and then reinstalled 10.6.3 from a download.  A few hours effort, but was back in business, so it is doable.

  • Leopard Graphic Update v1.0

    I am now installing Leopard for the third time. It's getting tiring.
    After installing the above software update, my display will no longer come back after the computer has been asleep. A hard start is required to get back in operation.
    Any ideas?
    Jim

    mine isnt going nuts but the display wont come back on after waking from sleep (each time and has been replicable since update installed). so i turned it off from sleeping (the computer) but the display sleeps and that also wont come back on when moving the mouse or pressing any keys. only way to get screen back up is performing a cold boot which kinda *****.
    ive tried clearing pram but that didnt help. im not sure whats in the graphics update but the next time i reinstall os, i might just skip this update because its causing me more issues than it supposedly solves (im not a big gamer anyway)
    this occurs on a mbp 7,1 (13" early 2010). i have not seen or heard it happen on a mbp 5,4 nor have i tried it on my mbp 6,2 (15" early 2010), but even then the screen on my mbp 6,2 has been going nuts before the update (im guessing a faulty card?) but i use my mbp 7,1 for main development work.
    i hope apple solves this issue soon

  • Leopard Graphics Update won't install

    Software Update updated my PowerMac (dual 1.8 G5) to 10.5.2, then I got the alert for iLife 08 and Leopard Graphics Update. The latter install has failed twice with the following message:

  • Graphics update integrated into Leopard?

    I have problems with a flickering external 23" display (HP L2335) and my MBP (it's not an issue with my Mac mini) so I was happy to see the graphics update but then it wouldn't install in Leopard. is it integrated? If so, then I have to figure out of it is a problem with this machine specifically.

    If there is a graphics update, it will be incorporated into an update via Software Update. There is no other way to update graphics cards or drivers in a Mac.
