Mac graphics failure after updating

Sometimes, if I'm playing a game with demanding graphics, my entire screen freezes except for the mouse. I tried SSH connecting to the computer, and it works fine. I can issue commands and open stuff without problems. The computer doesn't freeze, it's the graphics or something. Also, it only happens with games, not anything else like Final Cut Express or VirtualBox running a virus-ridden Windows XP.
I am pretty sure that this is an OS problem because it started happening once I updated to 10.5.8 from 10.5.0.
P.S. I don't really like the new discussions interface, although there are some good points to it

Hi I have just got back from the apple store and the guy at the Genius bar looked at it and said it was a manufacturing fault, and because it has been like it since new, and seemed to be getting worse he replaced the computer and I have a new warranty from today.
We got the feeling as soon as he looked at it that he has seen this before, I did say to him I was concerned it would be a replacement screen and I was not really happy about that as it was so new, and he said that was the normal procedure, but as the fault was already there at new and it was getting worse they would replace. I could not have asked for a better service.
Not unpacked this one yet but am hoping all is good, its a great little machine.
Thank you for your responses, and I hope this might help someone else. One thing it did not seem to be missing pixels but something to do with the screen production?

IPhoto update failure after updating to yosemite

Updated to yosemite, now I can't use iPhoto without updating that too.
Error message when I try to update iPhoto : "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled". Neither is true, no other option or explanation given. The iPhoto was bundled with the computer when I bought it in 2009, never had any updating problems until now, checked Apple ID and it is the correct one. This was obviously caused by the update so why is a fix not obviously available. Makes me wonder what other problems will arise.
How can I get the proper update?

That means, that iPhoto has not been associated with your AppleID. You do not say, which iPhoto version you are trying to update from.
Associating iPhoto with your AppleID should have happened, when you bought the computer with iPhoto preinstalled with MacOS X Lion or later or with the Mavericks upgrade, if your Mac came with SnowLeopard. Try, if you can "accept" iPhoto now:
Sign into the AppStore with your AppleID
Open the "Purchased" tab. Do you see iPhoto with an "Accept" button?
Accepting associates your Apple ID with the preinstalled iPhoto. It should move iPhoto from the "Accept" portion of the App Store to the "Purchased" tab. After that, you should be able to update iPhoto from the Updates tab of the AppStore.
If you do you not see the update there, try to buy iPhoto. iPhoto may show for free, so you do not have to pay again.
Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, otherwise you cannot buy it again. But do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
After you update iPhoto, your iPhoto Library will need upgrading. Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before you open iPhoto the first time after updating.

Start up failure after update

My HP Pavilion 17-e073ed fails to start up after updating. (Windwos 8.1)
The failure id is OU6G62-6RN71F-MFPWWK-60S303
Automatic system recovery doesn't work and starting up in the safe mode isn't possible.
Can anybody help

Hi PECAKO,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having some problems upgrading to Windows 8.1. The Automatic System Recovery was that trying to restore Windows 8 or trying to recover 8.1? How long have you had the Pavilion for?

Graphics Problem after updating to OS X 10.8.5

After updating to OSX 10.8.5 yesterday, I now see a vertical line that flickers and changes colour on my display - see attached image for example (when I tried to screen shot directly it didn't show up, this is photo using my iPhone). Has anyone else seen this ? Is there a known resolution ?
Thanks,
AdzyH

Dear keg55 try to answer the points you (sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia):
- +5V voltage is present on the USB-ports.
- After the operating system is not working only the mouse and keyboard, but after sending the computer into sleep mode (press on / off) ports are included. To enable the ports necessary every time you reboot go into sleep mode.
- To reinstall your operating system from the MAS result does not. After reinstalling the bug persists.

IPod failure after update : do not panick (too much)

This message is both to thank helpers on the forum that saved me from having to send my iPod to repair and to those of you who are (or about) to experience the same problem.
My profile :
40Go 4th generation iPod with 20Go music in, always handled with extreme care, used daily for 16 months (so out of warranty) without a slightest faillure, including ripping to my new computer.
PowerBook G4 under Mac OSX 10.4.6. Just to say my message won’t help PC users, sorry.
Connection Firewire or USB2.
My nightmaric experience of 2006-03-23 update.
After I had updated, I transferred a recent playlist OK onto the iPod but to my surprise read 0 playlists, artists, songs etc on the iPod screen and could not access any tracks.
Did the 5Rs several times with no success, ie different alarm signals would show (not the sad face icon though), the iPod would not connect or would refuse to disconnect or would freeze every app. on my computer which always get a bit scarying. Checked the iPod under disk utility found out several errors.
After much fiddling around and thanks to fantastic help on the forum (track these by browsing my posts), I think I can tell you now what to do if the same happens to you and help you to recover a fully functional iPod in a couple of hours. But beware that this only applies if you don’t have any physical damage of your hardware. My iPod never made the strange noises that many users report. I should add that I am absolutely convinced that it is the update that interferes with some iPod models and so just the software has to be reinitialized.
First try a 5R of course, but if this does not solve the problem (in my case it surely did not), switch to disk mode and connect your iPod. If it opens iTunes, quit iTunes and go to disk utility. First check the disk in the SOS panel. It will give you an idea of bad sectors and/or failure to complete. If the checking is OK proceed to erase with the security option « zero out data ». If the disk has bad sectors, you should first do a quick erase with the « don’t erase data » option, then check if the disk passes the check up. If yes return to erase and erase again by selecting « zero out data ». The computer will warn you that you are going to lose functions of the iPod but don’t worry, you will restore these straight afterwards. This reformatting will take maybe a couple of hours but you should see it progressing smoothly with the elapsing time moving on. After it is completed, re-check the disk once more. You are now ready to restore, and I recommend that you do it using a previous soft version, eg, 2006-01-10 for instance, not 2006-03-23 which initially caused the problem. It may freeze while restoring. Don’t panick and try restoring again. I was successful at my second go. Complete restoring, as asked on your computer, by plugging to power supply. Then enter your own settings, langage etc, and come back to your computer, go to iTunes and…
… I wish you that, a couple of minutes later, you have hundreds songs back onto your favorite music companion and that you are ready for hours of bog-free listening like I am now.
Just to end up, I’d like to thank all the helpers on the forum (Mitch, Lyssa, Jeff… and co.) who give a lot of their time to the community in avery friendly way. I am in touch with Apple so that if ever the problem happens to be reasonably frequent, they do release a note asap.
Best of luck to everyone don’t hesitate to contact me on this thread if you need more details on the procedure, I’ll try to help as much as I can but I am not an expert just a regular user of Apple computers and slightly ; ) addicted to music and daily use of iPod (so not so mad afterall… ; ).
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) iPod 40G 4th gen

Don't give up HOPE ** this work for Mac users only**
so, after 4 days of trying the disk utility erase mode-- sometimes working sometimes not,,, ditto to all of these posts- my ipod seemed to have a hard drive failure the way it was clicking-- anyways-- here is what worked for me--
hold the middle button and play/pause until you see the check mark- (this puts the ipod into disk mode)
plug it in to your computer
open up the disk utility
choose Mac OS extended - **make sure the jornaled in not selected, and also **uncheck install OS9
then erase- you may get the question about naming your ipod if itunes opens and all that -- I'd name it, but make sure you check the option to manually update- you don't want to keep the box checked to sync with your itunes at this point-then eject it by using the eject button from itunes in the window on the left-
go to your ipod software updater folder (located in your utilities folder)---- here's the catch- the only updater that seemed to work for me- after 4 days of torment- was the
11-17-05 updater!- (I actually talked to a tech. on the phone and he said the latest update does not have a bug-yeah right,that's when all my problems started- but he said the one before it does!!- thanks for letting us know apple!)
so, double click it- hit restore - and wow- it actually worked- Good luck peeps- I know, myself, I was very disappointed in apple with this situation- My warranty ran out two months ago!- like many others I see here, I feared i was looking at another 300 dollars for the 30GB- but, alass it worked Amen- Let me know if I can help anyone- I'll check back on the board soon- to answer any questions i can

Lower graphics quality after updating 2.2.1.

Is it just me, or any body else has notice that some of the buttons and transparencies on the iPhone are lower in quality than the early 2.2. version of the firmware? I just update to 2.2.1 yesterday but ever since I've notice this, for example, *look closely on the keyboard of the phone app, check the green button to place the call, it looks blur!* I don't remember if this looks the same on the previous 2.2. version, but I don't remember notice it before. Is like if they use a lower render bitmap here.
Am I becoming very demanding with the graphics or just been paranoid?
By the way, have no trouble with battery or dropped calls. Everything seems to work fine, except for the lack of quality in some graphics and some minor bug when I wake the phone, the click sound does not sound louder all the times, sometimes it sound very low.

I hope I'm just been paranoid, I'll hate to see the quality of the graphics on the iPhone dropped, because the interface is just so beautiful and well care in every detail. And well after all, Apple has always been in the market of graphics ever since they came up with the first graphic interface for the Mac back in 1984. I'll always think that mac os graphics look better that other OS, and now the iPhone looks like nothing before, so, that's what I'm been so demanding on the graphic quality issue. Right now, my iPhone is what keeps me close to Apple Computer, because right now, I'm stuck with a windows pc computer for the moment, and the iPhone is my Mac right now, so I don't want to lose high quality graphics, imagine how will you feel, if all of the sudden your mac os X desktop looks like Windows desktop? That's a nightmare! Right?

Multiple failures after updates Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium

After loading the latest set of updates for my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system and rebooting, I am now experiencing a cascade of failures. None of my network (wireless or ethernet) adapter or miniport drivers
will load. my firewall will not load or has failed. I cannot logon to my Event Viewer to figure out what failed and my Microsoft NET is giving me errors when I try to access anything that might help me figure out what went wrong. So far I
have done a system restore back to before the update, but it did not fix the problems. I have tried to use Microsoft Fix it, but that must access the internet. I am sending this from a different computer because I cannot get online with the other.
Can anyone give me a clue where to start fixing these problems or do I have to completely reinstall my operating system?
Thanks.

Hi,
In this case, you can try repairing windows image using DISM command.

Java applet failures after updating to Java 6 Update 19

Hi,
I'm currently experiencing a failure of unsigned Java applets after upgrading to JRE/Plugin 1.6.0_19. The problem with the update has been narrowed down to an interim fix for a TLS/SSL Man-in-the-Middle attack (see http://java.sun.com/javase/javaseforbusiness/docs/TLSReadme.html). This fix intentionally fails attempted renegotiations.
The environment consists of Windows XP PCs running IE6/7 and JRE 1.6.0_19 as clients connecting to a website using SSL connections and SmartCard(PKI) authentication.
Previously, clicking a link on the website produced a new window to an URL with some HTML that uses an <APPLET> tag to open a Java applet. Prior to the applet loading, a Java "Request Authentication" dialog would pop up to allow selection of a certificate to be used for authentication from the browser keystore.
Now, no such dialog displays. And, depending on client and chosen applet, these responses are observed:
(1) complete failure of the applet to load with "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException" and "javax.net.ssl.SSLException: HelloRequest followed by an unexpected handshake message" errors in the console;
(2) the applet loads but is unable to read its data files with "java.io.IOException" and "javax.net.ssl.SSLException: HelloRequest followed by an unexpected handshake message" errors in the console.
Overriding the interim fix with "-Dsun.security.ssl.allowUnsafeRenegotiation=true" results in a return to normal operation, but our security team does not deem this override an acceptable solution.
Any ideas?
Eric

Thanks for the detailed log.
Your server requested a renegotiation, and as renegotiation is unsafe, the client refused to renegotiate the connection. That's the expected behavior.
However, it seems strange that the server send a incorrect block of data immediately following the renegotiation request. From the bytes, I don't known what was the data the server sent following the handshake message. It would be of help if you could load your another log with the debug enabled (javax.net.debug=all)and unsafe renegotiation enabled(sun.security.ssl.allowUnsafeRenegotiation=true).

Login failure after update osx 10.5 server

hi,
i have a somewhat silly problem. I have installed OSX 10.5 server on a G5 DP 1.8 MAC Pro and have been using that for a couple of weeks. Now i installed an update today and since then i can't login to OSX anymore on my server. none of the user accounts have acces. and the same goes fot the administrator accounts i have set up..
i had this problem with 1 specifik account because it was registered to a group that had no acces directly to the server. but i see no reason for this to happen after an update.
so now i have no way to administer my server.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Paul Thijssen

can you access the server via screen sharing? WGM? server monitor?
if so, but the SA is the only broken part, read this thread:

Skype out on Mac bad quality after update to Version 7.9 (746)

Hey, I've been using skype out on a subscription calling from US to US or Canada, for over 2 years now. After the latest update (on 7/1 I believe) skype out on my computer became unusable... everyone complains that they can't hear me properly. But when I call the same person with my cell phone(on the same WIFI) they hear me perfectly... same headphones too. Anyone else dealing with this? I'm thinking of cancelling my skype subscription and getting an unlimited Canada/USA cell phone package! regards,

Wow, lots of replys so fast, sorry i took so long to get back to you all.
Well thanks for the welcome.
When I say "grayed out" i mean that the botton is there but faded.. get me? Its like an option that is no longer available. e.g. while going thru normal options like FILE or EDIT and the like the options that are not available are "grayed out" or faded. And yes I am using Software Update from the blue Apple menu.
I am not well versed with the Mac, it's my girlfriend's Mac, I know a bit about it but I try not to mess with it too much.
I didnt know that I was able to update any other way (System Preferences > Software Update > Update Software) I will try this and see what I can find. But I would guess that all those settings are at DEFAULT.Is there an option to make it look for updates automatically on a set date/time or everyday/week/month? I was only trying to update recently cuz I heard that some Mac viruses were loose and I want to update her Mac. I hope to get this fixed soon.

Application Launch Failures after Update: shared library error

Soon after installing the latest Security and Operating System Updates, I discovered that I could no longer run Microsoft Office. I get the following error message when attempting to open any of the components: Application Launch Failure The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "3<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CommonPanels>" I have tried reinstalling the updates but it hasn't helped. I can't reinstall Office because the same error message comes up when I try to open the Microsoft installer. Can anyone help? I'm stuck. Thanks.

Again, thanks.
It's somewhat confusing. The folder /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CommonPanels. framework
contains 3 items, a gray screen marked Common Panels with a small arrow pointing to the lower left edge, a folder marked Versions (which holds folders marked A and Current), a folder marked Current (which has a small arrow pointing to the lower left edge and holds a gray screen marked Common Panels and a folder marked Resources) and a folder marked A (which also contains a gray screen marked Common Panels and a folder marked Resources. When I click the gray screen marked Common Panels, I get a message that there is no default application specified to open the document "CommonPanels".
I'm not sure what all that means. Are there too many Common Panel screens? Does the small arrow have any significance? I've also discovered that, in addition to not being able to run Office, I can't install any new applications (same CarbonLib error message). If you think I need to archive and install the System, I can try to do so.

BT Cloud mac app broken after update?

The cloud app no longer works after the update (Mac) - same errors appear when newly downloaded version of app is installed. It's the app, the cloud can still be accessed thru the website.
Error messages in console are....
11/10/2013 15:45:51.659 [0x0-0x18c18c].com.fsecure.sync.BTCloud: Traceback (most recent call last):
11/10/2013 15:45:51.659 [0x0-0x18c18c].com.fsecure.sync.BTCloud: File "sync/gui.pyo", line 861, in update

11/10/2013 15:45:51.659 [0x0-0x18c18c].com.fsecure.sync.BTCloud: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'
which would (to this amateur) appear to point to a coding error in the sync/gui.pyo file, that I'd expect to be a compiled piece of Python code. In the unlikely event I can even find this file, is it OK to delete it?
I tried to get this question over the phone to one of the BT Cloud help centres. With the expected level of success, it's somewhat techy for a call centre to handle??
Anyone sorted this?

I'm the OP on this thread.
It's not been fixed yet for me, but there's a promise that the tech department will get to it in a week or so. thanks to NeilO the mod for sending the info over to them.
I did try removing the app altogether (with appdelete, which removes all plists and caches, every trace of an app) and re-install. On the first run there were no error messages but the Mac now appears to the Cloud to be a different machine to the one it orginally synced with (?). Since then I've upgraded the machine's primary hard drive to a hybrid to speed things up, and have yet to decide whether to bother with the BT Cloud or just go it alone (sync backups) instead, with a local network RAID volume and judicious use of Dropbox.
I'd like to get the BT app working again, but it's always been clunky on the mac, slower and less user-friendly than dropbox or Google drive: the price you pay for using them is in your own time to setup and maintain, but at least you know what's happening.
I'm waiting for a definitive word from the BT techies (or the F-protect techies) but nothing yet. The fact that a backup app can break on upgrade, in such an impenetrable way, means I'm losing confidence in it anyway.

Graphic failure after full on memory consumption

After few hours of usage mostly after a high memory consumption, my mac starts doing these lines. Now i never had this issue before maverick upgrade. Can someone let me know what is going on. Rebooting fixes the issue for now.
MacBook Pro
15-inch, Mid 2010
Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 288 MB

Yup, same thing happening here. Just upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks.
2010 MBP 15-inch, i5 2.4GHz.
Kind of odd that all that all of us have the same model Mac. I hope this isn't related to another issue described over here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
I just spent money to get my logic board replaced because of that issue, as the diagnostic test said I "passed" even though I was still getting kernel panics occasionally. Now I upgrade to 10.9 and see video artifacts everywhere.
Random video/graphics glitches appear all over the place after a while. Sometimes it's minor, other times it makes the system unusable as you can't see anything. Usually goes away again if you restart, but it's obvious there's some kind of graphics issue with 10.9.

Mac wont boot after update

I ran the latest combo update for OX X Lion. After it restart the mac no longer boots. What gives? What kind of update hoses my machine? Is there a fix? How do I roll back the update?
This is very fustrating. Please produce better software.
Thanks,
Carlos

go ahead and ddo a force quit - hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Then release it and press as normal to restart. you didnt mention seeing any installing screens so the file was downloaded but the installation didn't start so probably when you restart the installation will commence. If it doesn't, open the App Store program again and switch to the updates tab. You'll either see the restart button (which hopefully will work this time) or have to download it again.
