LINE DISPLAY PROBLEMS

LINE PROBLEMS - Using photoshop elements 10. Windows 7 - 64 bit. I am having problems with "line" displaying correctly after I draw them. The line tool is working correctly, it's the display on the screen that is not. When I draw multiple lines in an open project some of them seem to disappear on the screen. If I print they DO print but I cannot see them all to correctly complete my project. This happens when I use the grid and when I don't. It happens when I do the lines all on different layer or a single layer. It happens If I duplicate layers and if I just manually draw lines on new layers. The lines will appear and disappear randomly if I zoom in and out... It is not always the same lines, not always in the same place and no other consitencies in this. They don't even show correctly in the print preview pane.... My moniter is working fine and I have no display problems in any other programs. Any ideas what is causing this? This problem does not seem to happen with any other shape just line. Also happens when I creat a line "brush" and use it.

Yes, I just double checked all my drivers now and they were already up to date...... This has me puzzled!

Wierd lines on my display and frequent lock-ups w/ and w/o display problems

When booting I sometimes get weird lines and blocks on my display (the GRAY Apple screen) and then it hangs, other times the computer will boot and run fine for 20-30 minutes and then the display goes wonkers with blocks and lines and the computer does not respond. The only way I can get it to boot is to reset the PRAM by letting it CHIME 3x and then occasionally it will boot without issue and run, while other times I still get the blocks and lines on the display.
When I am able to get it to recover and re-boot after the lock-up and display problems and occasionally the box in the middle asking me to re-boot similar to a kernel panic the OPS gives me the option to REPORT the error and here is the error for others who would know more...
Thank you in advance,
Darren

Anyone know what is causing my problems? I thought it was heat so I downloaded a CPU and FAN temperature monitor and the CPU was getting VERY HOT at first so I then ramped-up the CPU FAN SPEED to maximum - it turns out the CPU FAN was not rotating well at low speed - since then I have cleaned and checked the fans and they all work as they should and blow on high(er) when the CPU temperature is above a certain level.

Is there a kb article or something that would illuminate what to look for in these logs, or is it a matter of learning by osmosis?
Both. I am not skilled in reading logs. It is a very technical and time consuming task for the uninitiated (me!) In scanning a log I look for the backtrace and loading dependencies. The first item in the backtrace is usually the roadblock.
Beyond that you can look at the Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics

Line art problem outputting to pdf

I have a problem with exporting pages of a magazine going to print as pdf, relating to line art placed on the page as a bitmap tiff (typically at 1200 ppi). At present I have a workaround for an annoying problem that really needs clearing up ...
I'm using CS4 InDesign and Acrobat (files prepared in Photoshop). So, high-res bitmap tiff containing line art sized (that is, just placed - no resizing in Indesign) and placed in Indesign, looks fine on the page. Output to pdf using 'export' and the resulting file, when viewed on screen, has a thin line down the right-hand edge of any and all bitmap files.
To ensure no misunderstanding, the 'bitmap' reference is what Photoshop calls it - a bilevel file with black lines in it, which enables me easily to overlay other files such as a photo (because the file is black/transparent) and assign a colour or tint to the bitmap, or even a drop shadow etc. I've used this workflow for years, from Photoshop through Indesign, but the latter always gives me this line on the right edge, in the pdf. It did this in CS3 Indesign/Acrobat as well (but never in Pagemaker).
My workaround is to lay a white-filled box over the edge of the file, thus masking it. But of course, that also limits me to where I can place the file - not easily on a graded tint background, not on a photo and so on. So I'd like to solve this.
Any ideas? OS is Win XP Pro (all updates applied to this and the CS programs - I don't believe they make a difference to this problem, as it has existed through several iterations of both OS and CS).
Anyone else seen this effect? Or is it just me? And has anyone a potential solution?
Chris

I think by reason of not knowing what else I can do, I'm heading to the same conclusion - put up with it! I'll certainly try sending a line to print and see if it appears, but for on-screen stuff, I think I have to stick with the safe workaround I use and accept the layout limitations. (Or resort to Pagemaker for the pages that I just cannot do otherwise.)
Seems to me, if people have reported this for years, Adobe might have tried sorting it out. On screen or not, it still must be due to *something* in the file and/or Acrobat/Distiller to allow it to appear. If I create a white greyscale tiff with the same resolution etc, and place it on a page, there's no line down the edge on output - just a white page with a white (invisible) box. If I do this with an 'empty' bitmap file, a line appears ... Both files created in Adobe programs, so it's not me as a user ...
Just me whinging! I'm really coming from the angle that if this is indeed a display problem, it can only be a display problem if there is something in the file for the display to react to (badly phrased that!).
Thanks everyone for your support and ideas - I think that's me finished for now; I have files to upload and then sleep.

Display problem after apple repair

Hello everyone,
Few weeks ago had this problem with vertical lines on my iMac display, which apple told me it was a display problem and they needed to changed it. So far so good... despite the 300pounds i had to pay for a new screen but anyway....... now look what happened...
i was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before (i wish i could browse on internet about this problem, the thing is: with my screen like this i cant distinguish what is or isn't a good image when i watch videos/pic posted from other users regarding displays problems)... do you think is any graphic problem? or display again?
i'm so upset
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I've just done it and the screenshot looks fine on my iphone. So... LCD problem again...? great
can you see any problem on this screenshot?
Thank you for you help.

Display problem T520

I have a T520 4239CTO. Win 7pro. I'm having a display problem. There's a 1 cm grey line 2/3rd down the screen. The image is split--part of the top display is at the bottom. The color on the screen rotates between orange, red, blue, green, etc.
I use the Lenovo update so my drivers, etc are up to date.
How do I figure out what is wrong? I'm currently using a 9-in portable monitor so I can use the laptop on the road.
I've run some of the basic Lenovo diagnostics but it doesn't seem to find anything wrong. Perhaps I'm not using the diagnostic software correctly.
Any ideas? Thanks

Multi-Line Display Item

I need to populate a multi-line display item in Forms 6i.
The problem that I am having is the actual assignment to the display item.
For example:
:DISPLAY_ITEM := '10';
:DISPLAY_ITEM := '11';
This makes the display item show the value '11' only.
I need '10' on the first line and '11' on the second line, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

well, you can write:
go_block('BL_BLK');
first_record;
:display_item:=10;
next_record;
:display_item:=11;
but for this- 1. block should have one navigable item. 2. display_item should not be the first item of the block.
Otherwise you will need to create a non-databse text_item with width 0 on the canvas for that block.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Mona

Display problem in Nokia XL

I purchased a Nokia XL last month (Purchased online). After a normal usage of almost 15 days, during office hours, the Display got white vertical lines. If you lock the screen and unlock after some time , the display looks clear, after some time the white vertical lines start coming on the display.
is there any hardware problem are any settings problem. The place where i am staying is 75 KM away from the nearest nokia care center.
Any one faced the same issue of Display problem in XL
please reply....
Thanks in advance

This may be software problem. For now, follow instructions given by @dimoff
Reset your phone, it will delete entire data on your device. So create a backup of your data before resetting.

Sort by kind display problem - only folder icons

Hi, I have the following problem with Finder in Lion (happened in all 10.7.0 to 10.7.3):
When I use the "sort by kind" function in Lion, usually the categorie is displayed in a lighter text with a line underneith. Now it happens from time to time (suddenly) that the display changes and instead of the lighter text, the categories are displayed as "folders". Except they are not folders, the sorting still works and I cannot click on them. The category titles just look like folders and even have a folder icon in front of them.
When I re-select "Sort by kind" the problem is gone for a while.
I took a screenshot of how it is supposed to look: http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3913/findergood.png
And how it looks after Lion changes to the "display problem view": http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2347/finderbad.png
Note that in the second screenshot the very left column still behaves like expected but every layer underneith (that is to the right of it) has the display problem.
I also encountered that when this happens, I am not able to simply drag-and-drop files in Finder anymore. Instead I have to select them first (by blicking on them) and then drag them. Usually this first click to select is not necessary. Again, after re-selecting "sort by kind" this problem is gone.
Also, this happened on all the Macs I own that run Lion, so I'm pretty sure it is not a system specific problem.
Is there a solution to this issue?

Does no one have any idea on this?

Display problem, new motherboard.

I am posting really to vent. I have a sick iMac with display problems. It's got vertical white lines and loss of colors. ChumpUSA indicates that the motherboard will need to be replaced and it's going to take four to five business days to get the part.
I purchased the iMac for a client who I encouraged to switch. They trust me and have purchased two other Macs. They are doing fine, so they aren't soured yet. It's a difficult position in which to find myself. Computers have trouble and need to be fixed, knock wood, I've had very few hardware problems in my 10+ years using Apple products.
I'm just in a bad spot with the failure of the motherboard (poor quality?) and the length of time my client is without a computer for one of his employees.
We will work around it, of course. I just don't see why it would take a week to get a part.
Any advise or words of encouragement are appreciated.

Sorted myself but will post solution in case others need it.
Remembered what I had done ages ago when looking at how to stop all recent pages appearing on a new tab.
To get new SEARCHES appearing in a new tab go to address bar and type

Standard vs User Created FI Line Display Variants

Hello folks,
I'd like your opinion on the following problem:
Requirement: Display variants which begin with a special character other than / that is not in the sap standard variant name space, and can
only be defined by selected users.
We have users in ecc 6.0 that may create and save User Specific display layouts (those beginning with an alpha character), but we need to have
the same display layouts saved as User Independent, that is Shareable with all other users and still begin with an alpha character....
But we cannot give access to create/change Standard display layouts (those beginning with a slash / ), as our Standard display
layouts/variants must remain protected and changeable only by designated users.
Any ideias if this is possible?
If it's not possible, no problem, I'll reward anyway.
Thank you for your help.

Officially... cross-posting between the forums is not allowed... but sometimes both a security (technical) and functional aspect is very helpfull.
The ability for moderators to mirror threads is unfortunately not available... ... So I will lock this thread.
Please use => Standard vs User Created FI Line Display Layouts/Variants for security contributions to this question.
This keeps the answers together in one place....

Command line display disappears during boot [solved]

I've brought my machine up to date with systemd, and have run into this latest problem. I boot with syslinux. My machine has started giving me kernel panics when I boot with the primary configuration, which had
acpi=off
in the append line, I believe to address this very problem. If I boot with the fallback, which does not have this entry, I get a boot that I can access over ssh, but the command line display disappears after running through a few lines. Commenting out the acpi language in the primary gives the same result as the fallback.
If I can't boot with it in there, and can't see the screen with it out, what do I do?
[edit]
I was looking for some information on the boot process to explain what changes during the boot to cause the screen to go from visible to invisible. When it used to boot, I remember a font change happening part way through the boot, but don't remember what caused it. Searching for the boot process on the wiki only gives the systemd page, and I didn't find anything there that was helpful in this regard.
I am downloading a live iso and will try booting with that to see if the display issues are present using that approach.
[edit]
Ok, it had nothing to do with acpi. I was running the nvidia driver. My machine has a processor with a gpu, and apparently it decided to hand off to my intel gpu, which has nothing attached to it, instead of sticking with the nvidia. May have to do with KMS (wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Mode_Setting). So I deleted the nvidia driver per the wiki instructions and added the nouveau driver, enabled the KMS per the instructions, and now I have a command prompt.

MacBook Pro and Cintiq 12UX display problems?

Hi,  
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so I'm sorry if it isn't - this is just the only place I could think of to ask about a display problem?
I’ve just got the new model Cintiq 21UX, and I’m running it off one of the newer model MacBook Pro’s (using Apples adapter to connect the two).
Everything seems to be working fine, although on the Cintiq’s screen I get flickering green pixels in darker areas of the screen? The confusing thing is it doesn’t happen all the time, it just seems to be the one particular ‘shade’ of dark grey/dark tones it happens on - an example is if I move an image around then its the same area of colour it has problems with across the screen, or if I zoom in the effected area gets bigger etc. I can also edit the colour to a slightly different shade and the problem stops so it can’t be a dead/frozen pixel. If I turn on the mirror display option it is still only the Cintiq display that is effected.
I currently run the MacBook using the Nvidia 9600M GT, I did try switching to the 9400M but it made the situation a lot worse and caused green pixels lines to flash horizontally across the screen.
I can save the image or drag the window that the problems happening on and drag it back to the MacBooks’ screen and there is no problem with the pixels there - it’s only on the Cintiq display.
I was just wondering if this is either a fault with the Cintiq tablet itself, or possibly a problem with the MacBook?
If it’s useful the spec of the MacBook is: 
Late 2008 unibody 15.4”
Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & 9400M
I’m not sure what other spec would be of use but if theres more I can let you know.
Any help would be appreciated, as it works fine other than this occational green flicker, and it’ll cost me a lot to send of either the Cintiq or the MacBook off for a service or replacement in the UK?
Cheers!

It could just be bad. Do you have another computer to try it with?

My new MacBook Pro has display problems

I am new to Mac. I had purchased a brand new MacBook Pro 13 inches with i7 processor on April2 this year, Within 10 days the display screen started to grey out and later on develop horizontal lines. I telephoned Apple support and when a telephonic solution became unlikely I was asked to take it to an Apple Authorized service centre in my town. The technician there could not clearly explain to me what was wrong with the system, but I understood him to say that he has reinstalled the graphics driver and the system was trouble free for a prolonged time thereafter (at the service centre). I also understood him to say that should the problem recur again, he would have to replace the motherboard. I was on a travelling tour for a week after this and was not able to test out this repair (I took my old windows system with me for the travel) To my utter dismay the problem has recurred again after 28 days of purchase. I have attached screenshots. The button for uploaing videos is greyed out therefore I will have to restrict myself to screenshots. All the three screen images occcur
in turn and the system becomes unusable and I have to use the poweroff button. The display problems start within 10 minutes of switiching on the system.
I took some time to discover these forums. The first time this problem occurred on my machin I posted this problem on mac-forums and I was advised to take it to an Apple store and let the apple genius bar worry about this one. I do not live wihtin any sort of manageable distance from such a place and the repair centre is an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Coming to the emotional aspects of this technological glitch. I feel like I have been hit by a truck.I had saved and scraped pennies to buy this dream machine and I believed I was escaping the ficleness of windows. But no windows system of mine (I have three) become so unusable
Will I have to spend time and effort to lug this machine to service centre to replace each of its component parts one by one ? Can I ever trust this machine to provide a presentation to an audience? What sort of an impression will I create if the system plays this trick on me in the middle of some presentation?

Shootis007, What is CC company? I googled CC and got many different answers.
I called Apple Support and told them my story and pressed for replacement and they told me repeatedly that there is no policy for replacement. The initial support person who attended my call asked me to take it to the seller and ask the seller for replacement. I dont think that is the way to go. I dont know what is his fault. He gave me a brand new system, the package was opened by me. Since I am new to Mac, I had taken a Mac user friend with me who showed me how to get started (right there in the shop) Neither the experienced Mac user friend nor I felt anything remiss at that time or later at the Seller level. Nevertheless I called the reseller and he explained his helplessness. I dont think it his fault at all.
Since I kept insisting on replacment I was put through to another support person who took pains to reassure me that I should get the defective part replaced and thereafter all will be well. For now I trust him. I have no other alternative
I really am puzzled. All you dear Mac users should know that the machine I dreamed of and really saved to purchase is giving me no end of troubles whereas my three windows machines sit there with their numerous stated deficiencies but gives me uninterrupted service

Odd display problems

I run two 19" CRT monitors off my G4 QS...have for years with no problems. This morning, I arrived in my office, computer running with both monitors displaying fine, and, without touching anything, the left one went dark. I thought I might have jostled my desk and loosened the AC connection, so I shut down, checked all connections to find no problem. I restarted, only to find that my right monitor had lost its signal too. The power light on this monitor went from green (normal-on) to yellow after 10 or 15 seconds of being turned on (never seen that before).
I didn't have time to deal with this problem, and had to go home to get some work done, leaving the office computer running. Late this afternoon, I popped by the office again for 5 minutes while running errands and found the yellow light on the right monitor blinking (another "never seen before"). I turned off the power on the display, then back on, and the display actually appeared, but at a very odd resolution (sign-in screen icons were signficantly larger than I'd ever seen them), and there was a strange distorted vertical line that "zapped" on and off. Again, I didn't have time to deal with this and had to leave it.
I've done some research here at home, but still don't have a strong sense of what the problem might be. Might resetting the NVRAM do anything? Can you even reset NVRAM on a QS? Might it be a graphics card problem? If that is likely, what card would be a good replacement?
Many thanks...

Have you tried using only one monitor?
Have you tried starting up from a CD?
You can reset NVRAM. Resetting NVRAM "fixes" some display problems. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
