Logic 8 Glitch: Blacked out screen to the left of the play line

Using: Logic Pro 8.0.2 / Macbook Pro 2.8GHz i7 / 8GB ram / OSX 10.9.4
When I play anything on Logic, everything that has been played (everything to the left of the vertical play line) is blacked out (see figure 1). When I move the screen back and forth horizontally, it returns to normal. Sometimes the glitches are even more extreme (see figures 2+3). I went to reinstall logic off of the disk, but the DMG no longer works on this version of OSX. Is there some alternate way to reinstall this version of logic, or is there any discount for upgrading to a newer version?

Hi
This is a known issue with LP8 and OSX Mavericks, with no fix other than:
Downgrade your OS
Upgrade Logic: there is no "upgrade path', so either buy Logic Pro X from the AppStore, or possibly locate a "second-hand" LP9 (Logic Studio 2) upgrade (EBay?)

Is there a program that allows you to black out most of the screen content of a PDF and slide down like you would with an overhead (covered with a piece of paper)for teaching purposes??

Maybe this online manual would help.

Not sure how well printing it out would work, though.

Ipad2 with blacked out screen fix by spanking

Hi All
Just found out from the forum that if your Apple IPad2 goes into a black out screen mode, you may be able to fix it by spanking it.
I had taken it to the Genius Bar and they would have replaced it but was out of warranty.
So taking it out of its case I gave it 5 slaps to the back of the unit with my open hand.
Supprise the when I turned it over and pressed the power button the Apple logo appeared.
Thanks to the support community.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does your hard drive spin up? And do you have access to another MAC?
If so, you could see if you could mount your Mac's hard drive on the other Mac's desktop using FireWire Target Disk mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Also mount an external drive equal or larger than your internal drive on the host Mac. Then use a cloning utility like Super Duper on the host Mac to clone your internal drive onto the external drive. This will give you a backup of everything that is on your internal drive--it will be an exact copy. This would take some time, but would likely be the best way to back up everything on your drive.
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
It is especially important to back up everything on your drive, because when your Mac goes in for repair, sometimes the drive is erased and the OS reinstalled in the process of troubleshooting. Also, they will likely elect to thoroughly test the machine and do any repairs that are necessary, which could possibly include replacing the hard drive. If you have any sensitive data on the drive, you may even want to erase it before sending it in just on general principles.
Good luck!

I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy. I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval. Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again

Here's some more info.
I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
Any thoughts?

My iphone 4s blacked out you cant see anything but I white line, how do you transfer everything from your iphone to a computer

Next time make regular backups of your computer. The iPhone is not a backup device, and I'm sure you lost more than your iTunes library. See this user tip for your options: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

How do you black out video w white titles showing audio playing ,than slowly fade to reveal video

How do you black out video w white titles showing audio playing ,than slowly fade to reveal video

From the Transitions browser (far right of iMovie's window, shaped like an hourglass), drag the Fade to Black transition to the gap between the Title and video thumbnail. Alternatively, drag the Cross Dissolve transition - rather than fading to black, the image will gradually transform from the Title to the video.
Double-click the transition to open the Inspector - you can change the duration there if preferred.
John
PS. Re-reading your question, if the video is continuous with a Title inserted, you will need to split the clip at the point where the Title ends, then drag in the transition. To split the clip, right-click (or Control-click) at the split point then select "Split Clip" from the pop-up menu.

A broken power adapter is not safe to use. Discard it and buy a new one from Apple.

The built in screen in my Macbook keeps blacking out, even though the computer is on.

Hi
The internal screen on my Macbook keeps blacking out; when this happens the computer is still on - just no screen. This happens when unplugged after a few seconds, and takes a bit longer when plugged in.
If I close the lid and open it again the screen works again for a few seconds before the blackout returns. Obviously this is not the ideal work scenario!
It does not appear that this is a backlight issue (I presume) as I cannot see any image on the screen when this happens from any angle.
If I turn the brightness all the way down and then back up again the screen flicks on for a fraction of a second before anything happens again.
Any ideas what might be causing this? If I can fix it? And/or how much an Apple repair of the problem is likely to cost.
Many thanks for your help!
Martin Faint

Unfortunately it sounds like the logic board... happened on a MB I have at work. That's an Apple Store replacement, and can be expensive if your mac's out of warranty. Free if it's still covered...

UAC runs in the background, does not black out screen and prompt user

This is my layout:
I have a script in the start-up folder that calls a .exe upon first login after the system comes out of sysprep. In one account (Account A), when that .exe is called, the screen darkness and admin approval is asked for. If I
choose to do my first time login on the other account (Account B) the exe will get called, but I will just get a flashing shield on the task bar which i have to click to get the black out and the prompt for admin approval.
Why is that happening? I want the automatic blackout and prompt on
Account B also. Can anybody suggest some security settings i can check?
UAC is all the way up on both accounts, FYI.
Thanks

Hello, and thank you for replying.
I have restored it, but i backed it up before I did, once i restored it, I restored it from the back up, that i had done previously. I do not have warrenty under this iPhone which is quite fustrating.
Sadly this did not solve my problem; the proximity sensor still does not respond to my face during calls.
I think my only option (last choice) is to restore it completely and start afresh, which is annoying since i'll lose all my game data from Jetpack Joyride .
Thank you for your response though, it was certainly helpful.

How to fix hp touchpad: blacked out screen that does not turn on.

I had the same problem but I way able to fix it myself. In fact I am blogging here now w my fixed hp touchpad now!!
I don't know much about electronic but I do know that our touchpad is stuck in some mode and is lost and needs rebooting. However our touchpad lacks power maybe because of low battery last time we used it?...I don't know..but here is what I came up with. For those of you who had used external drive will know what I am talking about but the concept is same. Here is what u need. Desktop computer or laptop computer. U need to find out which of the USB port gives the most strongest power. (Often left side of desktop backside port, laptop on the side w less number of USB ports).
1. Plug in ur touchpad to pc. Ur pc will recognize ur touchpad as USB and will want to install something. Let it do so.
2.After when that's done reboot ur over WITH TOUCHPAD STILL LINKED to pc. As the over reboot push the cetner button w power button at same time as ur pc reboot. Than u will see an USB logo on ur touchpad.
3. Ur touchpad now is in power! Unplug it from pc and get a wall charger and charge it while u do the next step.
4. hold the volume up button w power button at same time. U should see a blue screen for less than one second. Than an hp log. Ur.now in safe mode. U don't enter to mess anything up so turn it off by using the power button once again.
5. Finally turn it back on and give urself a treat. U have just solved ur problem!
hope this helped. If not shoot me an email and I will fill u in w more detail or something...
Or comments below could help too. Positive feedbacks I hope ;-)
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Glad your solution worked for you, but to properly charge a TouchPad, you need to use the charger that was included with the device!
Many "black screens" have been caused by HP shipping defective micro USB cables with the device - I received one myself with a brand-new unit, and it failed to provide a charge.
Just about all USB ports cannot provide enough mA to fully charge it. USB ports are usually limited to 500mA, while the charger outputs 2,000mA.

MBP Random Black out Screen [ONLY ONLINE]

Hello everyone,
My Macbook Pro Early 2011 15 inch i7 with 8GB RAM at the moment is experiencing some trouble. When I'm watching videos online, the screen goes black after a few minutes. I know that the Early 2011 are famous because of faulty Logic Boards, but I don't know how to make the Hardware test without the disk.
And also, this problem started when I updated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. When the blackscreen started, I rebooted the PRAM and SMC, but sometimes it didn't do the trick, and It stayed for hours to the system booted. After I Downgraded from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, this issue didn't happen for 3 or 4 complete days, and it happened again now in Mountain Lion. So, Hardware or Software issue?
Well to summarize:
PROBLEM: Blackscreen only when watching videos or anything flash format on the internet.
SYMPTOMS:
Blackscreen Only Online When Watching videos that are in flash format, or any page that has something inside of it that has flash format (Example: Simulators Online).
Not rebooting: Persistent Blue Screen or No Safe Mode booting or After PRAM or SMC Rebooting no booting.
QUESTION: Hardware (Logic Board) or Software Issue?

You have the problem as found in this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0 - thread. Give it a glance and you'll see that many others are having the same problem with 2011 15" and 17" MacBook Pros. Basically, the solder on your GPU to logic board has cracked. In the end, you won't be able to boot at all (if you've not already reached that point).
Some people have been lucky enough to get a free logic board replacement. Unfortunately, many people have also gone through 3-4 logic boards and the problem is never solved. A replacement logic board is not a 'fix.' The only fix that seems to last any time is a BGA reball of your GPU. Lot of those repair shops around the world - make sure that you choose one who has at least a one year warranty. There is a list on Facebook of reballers across the globe -> http://on.fb.me/WaxddM.
Good luck,
Clinton

Black out screen when editing

Has anyone had problems where the screen blacks out and directs me to my iPads app menu? This happens whenever I try to edit a document , highlight , or even flip pages. I've tried to restore my purchases, I have all my programs updated... I am confused

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I'm using adobe reader. I subscribed to the
covert PDF to word doc and it was working fine then a week or so later it
just blacks out and shuts itself off completely. It happens as soon as I
select a word , then drag the blue dots to choose a sentence to make note
of, it won't even let me finish selecting the sentence before it shuts off.
Hopefully there is a way to get it back to the way it was

Any way to black out screen during remote VNC connection to Mac?

Hi, I regularly connect remotely to Macs in my workplace, via VNC viewer from PC, in order to do support/maintenance work after office hours.
Unfortunately, the security guys in our office building often switch the target Mac/s off while I'm working on them, especially if they can see 'mysterious things' happening on the screen - could be an intruder, or a ghost! =8O
I can't blsme them, nor can I easily ask them not to do it - the place is huge, in a blue chip co, with many different security staff coming and going round the clock. Anyway, if I did ask them, I suspect I'd get an overzealous lecture about machines being left on overnight, blah blah.
So, can anyone tell me if it's somehow possible to black out the target Mac's physical screen while I'm connected remotely to it?
Maybe there's a VNC viewer app that allows this, or some Terminal command I could use?
I usually set up a scheduled power-on for the target Mac, then Shutdown when I'm finished working on it, so it's not as though it's being left unattended at any point, otherwise I could understand the security concerns.
I have to connect from a PC, else I'd be looking at using ARD instead. I can ARD to the Mac client from the Mac server, but that means a remote connection from within a remote connection - not recommended!
It would save me loads of hassle (and danger) if anyone could answer this one please?
Another thing that would help is if I can completely disable the target Mac's mouse & keyboard too?
Thanks for any help,
Paul.

Thanks for your suggestions Bob. I've now sent a feedback request to Apple, for what it might be worth. I'm not sure my user handle will endear me to them!
An excerpt from my message to them...
"Aside from connecting remotely, I've often heard people say they'd like to turn off a Mac's screen and input whilst leaving it running, for example during large overnight disk copies.
I can easily switch off a PC's screen separately (albeit not remotely), but still not able to do that on Macs, after all these years.
I'm sure such a feature would be welcomed by many, especially for privacy/security and energy conservation reasons."
Great if anyone else could also request the same, or, come up with a cunning way to do it?
