More than 50% of the screen = dark, whole screen blurs.

After being driven absolutely batty, resetting plists, display settings, zapping PRAM and anything else I could think of, I finally figured it out. I don't think I had this problem in 10.5.7 -- or at least not as often.
At first I thought this was an Adobe thing, but then I realized that I could make it happen in the Finder too (by choosing a dark desktop image).
Basically, what the subject says. The darker the screen the more blurred the display. I'm guessing it's something specific to my setup (OS X 10.5.8 on a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, mirrored to a Sony CRT Trinitron Multiscan 400PS), but if anyone else can confirm it...
An help appreciated. Thanks!

Try running the *Apple Hardware Tests.* (Instructions should be printed on the disc; if they differ from these, follow them instead)
1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on-screen instructions.
+(note that when your Video RAM is tested, various patterns, colors, and stripes will appear on the screen).+
5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it.

  • How I can view more than 1 page at once on my screen with "PAGES" 5.5.2?

    Hello, I have a iMac 27" and would like to know how I can view more than 1 page at once on my screen with "PAGES" 5.5.2?
    In the past one could do this by clicking in the "zoom" field on "PAGES", but ever since Apple have seemed to "simplify" PAGES.... well, I'm spending more time searching than working... 
    Can anyone help? I'm going nuts with this issue.
    Thanks.

    Hi viking.
    Just to keep you informed, it's the least I can do after the time you spent helping me.
    The best solution I have found and it works excellently is the following:
    - I installed VMWare on my iMac.
    - Created a virtual machine and installed OS X7.0 on it.
    - I "imported" or reformatted this virtual machine with an image disc (a DMG) of my entire système installed on my previous Mac (which was running OS X7.5 and had iWorks installed on it)
    The result is fantastic.
    I now have a virtual machine running Mac OS X.7.5 on my iMac (which is running Yosemite). As, I also managed to import into this virtual machine my image disk (DMG) of my entire MacBook Air (which had MacOS X7.5 and had all apps including iWorks) I can use Iwork just like in the "good old days" !!!
    So I now simply jump from one to the other, its perfect!
    Thank you very much for the time you spent helping.
    Have a great day.

  • CRS Install hostname being used by more than once for the same node.

    Hi, we're installing The Oracle Clusterware and on the Cluster Configuration screen of the universal Installer (the one were you specify the clustername and clusternodes) we get the following error message in a dialog box when the next button is clicked:
    "You must enter unique values for the public node name, the private node name and the virtual hostname for all nodes in the cluster. The name, node1, that you entered is being used by more than once for the same node."
    Has anyone experienced this error message before and know what the cause is?
    Could it be a problem with the /etc/hosts file?
    Thanks in advance,
    M

    Make sure you allocate separate IP addresses on your network for the VIP addresses on each RAC node (this is not the same as the machine IP already configured on the OS).
    Also, the installer may complain if your private and public IPs are configured under the same subnet.
    Finally, as mentioned before, check that name resolution for all the IPs to be used. On all RAC nodes, your /etc/hosts file should be configured with:
    - public name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
    - private name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
    - VIP name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
    Hope that helps

  • Join  configuration cannot be resolved. Reason :more than 1 of the detail .

    Hi Guys,
    I am getting a following error while opening a discoverer report.
    Join  configuration cannot be resolved. Reason :more than 1 of the detail folders uses non-aggregated items .I know this error is regarding the fan trap.
    The report is built from 5 folders(Complex & Simple) and a custom folder.I have 3 more reports which are using some of the simple folders from these 5 folders and are joined with other folders with the appropriate joins.
    Is this the reason I am getting the error ?
    Appreciate your help !!
    Veejay

    Hi Veejay,
    is it that the columns which I am using should be at same levelNo, not really. A item that has a data point property means that Discoverer knows that the item can be aggregated in a report. So if you include detail (i.e. non-aggregated) data points into a workbook from 2 detail folders then Discoverer will generate a fan-trap error because the workbook is not aggregated correctly.
    Let me try and give you an example. Suppose we have 3 folders; A, B and C. Folders B and C are detail folders of A. Now support A has one row; folder B has 2 detail rows to A and folder C has 3 detail rows to A. Now if you create workbook selecting items from A and aggregate (e.g. SUM) items from B and C you will get 1 row containing the SUM from B and the SUM from C. Similarily, if you select the detail data point from B and the SUM from C you will get 2 rows containing rows from B and the SUM from C. However, if you select detail data points from both B and C you will get 6 rows in the report and Discoverer will generate a fan trap error because the number of rows do not relate to any one table. But, if you change the join from A to B to be a 1 to 1 join then you will still get 6 rows in the report, but Discoverer will not raise a fan trap error because Discoverer thinks the number of rows returned is in from table C because you have said that there is only 1 row in B for every row in A.

  • MORE THAN 1 OF THE DETAIL FOLDERS USES NON-AGGREGATED ITEMS

    What does this join configuration message mean? I am a user not an administrator but I notice that sometimes I get this message when I am trying to create reports in Discoverer.
    Currently I have a report that is using a control table and a detail table. I need to link to another table (not a detail table). The join did not exist but I was able to take a transaction and join to the table with sql. I asked that this join be created in Discoverer so I can link to the other table in the report and it was created, but when I go to pull in the field I need I get this message:
    Join configuration cannot be resolved. Reason: more than 1 of the detail folders uses non-aggregated items.
    Can this be resolved and if so how? We seem to get this message fairly often.

    I am always leery of disabling fan traps, as it can cause errors with aggregation (and by errors, I mean including values multiple times). Make sure you check the documentation (the Disco user guide) for an explanation of fan traps, and the types of problems that can occur, and the check the results of your queries (or have the data owners do it) to make sure the results are valid.
    I use the fan trap warning as an indication that there is something amiss in the BA, and then try to find the problem there. Sometimes the solution is changing a join (you can check the box that states there is a 1 to 1 relationship and that will also eliminate the fan traps), other times it is creating a view or custom/complex folder to specify how the data is to be joined. Rarely is the only solution to disable fan traps (and while I am on my soapbox, I'll add that I use it as a last resort).
    Sometimes removing fan traps is the correct solution, but you need to test your reports to make certain the results are valid.

  • More than one "On-the-Go" Playlist - how?

    Hey!
    How do I set up mor than one "On-the-Go" Playlist without using iTunes?
    My brother is in cran canaria right now and he wants to set up more than one playlist - but he hasn't got his Mac with him.
    So, is there any opportunity to set up more than one "On-the-Go" Playlist on the iPod without using any computer???
    Greets,
    crackit

    Yes. You just create your first playlist, then save it (the save option will appear at the bottom of the playlist). Then, start your next playlist.
    They will appear in the playlist menu as on-the-go 1, on-the-go 2...
    Cheers!
