My display has turned into 3 equal scrambled columns

Did my graphics card just bite the dust? I was watching a QuickTime video. The video started distorting, and now the display shows 3 equal columns (the outer columns are the same, the middle column is a different color) with symmetrical scrambled lines.

I just got this Mac last night!!

  • CS4: cursor has turned into three different "figures" in line. How to fix? [was:janeriklindqvist]

    The cursor in my CS4 has turned into three different "figures" in line. This makes the program almost impossible to use and I cannot fin a way to come back to the normal "cross" again.

    What’s your OS?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • A blue dot has turned into a black smear mark

    i turned my phone on and there was a blue dot on the inside of the screen thats now turned into a blue smear any ideas its not been near any water

    Hiya!
     That isnt water... but it isnt much better.
     Sounds to me like one of the LCD crystals burst.
    Unfortunately that would void your warranty with most every carrier. but all hope is not lost.
    You can buy a new LCD display and swap them. its not really that hard either (kinda fun if you like to tinker)
    Sorry Mate... cheers

  • Fill command no longer works, has turned into Grow

    I've been scouring sites for a solution and have not found one as of yet. My Edit/Fill command (shift + F5) has suddenly turned into Grow. I've seen other people with this problem and the only solution I have seen up to now is to use (shift + delete) instead. That to me isn't a solution, it completely disrupts my workflow to try using a new key command that should be something else. I've also read about people deleting preferences, restarting, etc, and I've tried all of those things. I did have some issues with my Function keys because of something I had clicked in my finder preferences but I fixed that issue, and it seems that only Photoshop has lingering problems. And of course, my PSD keyboard shortcuts all look fine, nothing has changed there so something is overriding the keyboard shortcuts. Could it be something in my Photoshop preferences that I'm overlooking?
    Any help that anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    So you are absolutely certain that the keyboard shortcut is assigned under Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts?
    Could it have been usurped by an Action?
    Did you get the dialog when you trashed the prefs?

  • My "Documents" icon in the dock has turned into a question mark.

    On my MacBook Air my documents icon has disappeared and turned into a question mark. The icons have also disappeared within my Documents folder and some of the applications folders. Where did they go and how can I get them back?

    Where they went is a good question, and not one we can answer without a lot more information.  However, the Dock is pretty resilient at finding things like this if they are accidentally moved into another folder.  So, unfortunately, I'd have to guess that it has been deleted.  If that is the case, your question about getting them back can only be answered with another question: do you have backups?

  • My photoshop has turned into a 30 day trial after upgrading my account to a package with lightroom included!? what is going on?

    I have been subscribed to a Photoshop CC only package since 2013, and a friend of mine pointed out that i was paying too much, and i should at least have Lightroom included. So i checked it out, asked some questions at the (Probably a bot) chat service, before i knew it there it was, my option to upgrade to a package with photoshop and Lightroom (Bridge included) 
    it was time to update my existing bridge and photoshop. After doing this, all of a sudden my photoshop has changed into a 30 day trial! how do i fix this?

    FIXED! I have re entered the chat, with the hope of fixing it with someone there, and we fixed it!

  • 30,000 photos has turned into 118,000 after importing from ext hd

    When I upgraded from iPhoto 9 to iPhoto 11 I lost all my tags, faces,locations, titles, etc. I restored the library from an ext HD which had most of the "old" data. It has morphed into eight or ten face photos of the same person/same shot. As you might expect, this has slowed down everything on my computer. Is there an easy way to banish the dups?

    Yes. The trick is +never import an iPhoto Library to another one+. To update a library simply open it with the new version. So redo that restore and just open the Library with 11.

  • My Mac Book Pro display has turned purple/blue, - why?

    My screen started to flickr and has now turned purply/blue as if something has died..any one know why?

    Your first choice is to go to System Preferences>Displays>Color.  Make sure that your profile set is the appropriate one for the MacBook Pro, which should be "Color LCD".
    I'm going to skip all of the normal suggestions of resetting this and that, because from what I've researched this in the past, and it appears you have an issue with either the graphics chip (low probability) or a worn cable causing one of the color channels to be bad or your LED screen has a problem.
    In other words, it's probably hardware related.

  • I am on holiday in France and my I books and apps store has turned into French language, does anyone know how to change it back to english

    I'm on holiday in France and my App Store and iBook store has changed to French apps and French books available to download. How can I change it all back to English?

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • 2005 iBook G4 lcd display has turned streaky fuzzy pink and blue

    Boot up laptop screen looks fine. Goes to sleep, wake it up, screen is now weird. Gone fuzzy, no true colors, looks streaky, pink and blue. I rebooted, no change. I'm plugged in, so it is not a power/battery issue. Since I've had this since 2005 I suspect I have to replace the screen, but heck I don't know. Can an expert help me here? I've got a screen shot to share, how do I upload it?

    O&O,
    I've got a screen shot to share, how do I upload it?
    I think to upload here you have to have a membership. I just upload pics on PhotoBucket:
    http://photobucket.com/
    It would help to see a pic.
    This is from the service manual for the 14" 1.42 GHz mid '05:
    "xScrambled or distorted video
    Check for video on external display.
    • If video is fine on external display, replace LVDS cable.
    • If video is scrambled or distorted on external display, replace LCD panel."
    That last line is a bit extreme AFAIC. I suppose a bad display could cause the GPU to put out distorted video. So if it was me I'd unplug the LDVS cable and then if the external display cleared up then I'd replace the LCD panel.
    The 1.42 also uses the ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 4x AGP I have one of these in a 1.33 12" and it went bad. My normal repair is to swap in a good chip from a PC laptop graphics card. Unfortunately I can't find a cross reference to that chip being used anywhere else but the iBook 1.33 and 1.42.
    after it was sleeping for 3 hours and the screen is bad again
    Have you tried resetting PMU? Does any of this involve moving the screen? That's one of my checks for a bad LVDS.
