My monitor is pixilated and pink!  What happened?

The display on My IMac G5 running 10.5.8 is pink and the images are ghostlike!  My screen saver is neon green! Is my Mac dying?  It has done this before and after I was doing my work for a few hours, it come back to normal and shocked my eyes!  This time it has been going on for about 4 days now!
Can someone help please? Thank you!

Try running in safe mode to see if the problem goes away.
hold down the shift key then poweron your machine.
if this fixed the problem...
Running in Safe mode leaves out some video drivers.  Which results in machine not using advanced video hardware. You can run in normal mode but using the safe mode video drivers.For more details see:

Look through this thread. see the second page.  You don't have to read through the first page.  Just go to the part where I try a solution that works.

  • I bought my macbook pro for only a day, and see what happens....

    The computer is running pretty laggy a little bit and also I cannot shut it down... When i press shutdown, the only disappeared was the bar on the top. the task bar on the bottom still there.... And when i tries to shut it down by pressing the physical button.. It still wouldn't work....
    It takes longer to start the mac every time...It's really annoying
    Anyone know whats going on with my mac?... Is it possible to let apple set up a appointment and see what happens and if i wasn't satisfied with the result can apple change another one for me?(I bought the mac at my local eletronic store. Not Apple store) Thanks!

    This is a user to user forum. This is not Apple. You are covered by warranty. Stop down to your local Apple store or make an appointment online. You need to make the appointment not Apple. You also have free 90 day phone support so you can call Apple at 800-275-2273 and talk to tech support.

  • UNDO_TABLESPACE=AUTO  and UNDO_TABLESPACE='' What happens?

    If UNDO_TABLESPACE=AUTO and UNDO_TABLESPACE='' What happens after instance startups?
    I am citing on-line doc '...When the instance starts up, Oracle automatically selects for use the first available undo tablespace. If there is no undo tablespace available, the instance starts, but uses the SYSTEM rollback segment. This is not recommended in normal circumstances, and an alert message is written to the alert file to warn that the system is running without an undo tablespace...'
    Questions :
    1. If database has no undo tablespace avalilable and instance use SYSTEM rollback segment. Is it possible apply UNDO_* parameters to the SYSTEM rollback segment?
    2. Database has undo tablespaces, but still UNDO_TABLESPACE=''(UNDO_TABLESPACE parameter is set to empty). Will instance use any of undo tablespaces first?
    Thank you in advance.

    If the need to know this is dire it is possible to find file extent events via dump of the redo log files using alter system dump logfile '/some/logfile' layer 14 opcode 4;
    By reviewing the output you can find the file extensions but for an ongoing requirement create a snapshot of dba_data_files and update it daily or on another schedule depending on your needs.
    There might be something in the AWR but using the AWR requires a Performace Pack License which is an extra cost so I generally do not have access to it so I have never looked close enough to know if any useful extent information is there. It will have a limited life so rolling your own is still probably your best long-term solution but the source of the data could change.

  • I am due to upgrade my iPhone 3 to iPhone 5. I have icloud which co-ordinates my phone and mac what happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my contacts, notes, addresses etc. Do I have to disconnect icloud and how? What happens?

    I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5.  I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other.  What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc.  What is the procedure and step by step action?  The new phone arrives - then what?

    When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.

  • I downloaded os6.0 now missing facetime, messages and Icloud what happened?

    I downloaded os6.0 and are now missing Facetime, messages and the Icloud tools what happened? can I get those back?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • I currently have LR 5.7 and am interested in getting upgraded to LR 6. If I get the package LR and CC what happens to my LR 5.7 and the library I have on it now??

    What happens to my LR 5.7 and it's library if I get the package LR and CC?

    Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

  • Aperture and iCloud - what happens to MobileMe galleries?

    Anyone have any insight on whether icloud will host aperture photo galleries?

    It is absolutely, inequitably wrong for Apple to to abandon all the MobileMe users with its faltered plan to discontinue the service.  Synching aside, it was and is the best and most economical way to share files and data for small companies like mine.  I was screwed when Apple discontinued dotMac after having spent days and weeks developing a web site utilizing the now defunct service.  I purchase the 60GB plan at roughly $200.00 per year and It's like DejaVu all over again.  Shame on you Apple if you stop supporting this wonderful product.
    I remember a company that was once proud to say "We think outside the box!"
    If that were true, then you would not pull the carpet out from under us again and again.
    The following info "Information about the MobileMe transition" Last Modified: June 06, 2011 Article: HT4597 is useless for planning my future business moves.
    Summary
    What's happening to MobileMe?
    Effective June 6, 2011, if you had an active MobileMe account, your service has been automatically extended through June 30, 2012, at no additional charge. After this, the MobileMe service will no longer be available.
    Products Affected
    MobileMe
    What will happen to the content I have on MobileMe?
    Apple has announced a new service called iCloud which will be available this fall and free for iOS 5 and OS X Lion users. When you sign up for iCloud, you'll be able to keep your me.com or mac.com email address and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks to the new service.
    When iCloud becomes available this fall, more details and instructions will be provided on how to make the move.
    Can I create a new MobileMe account?
    You can no longer create a new 60-day trial account or start a new subscription using a code contained in a MobileMe box. However, if you have a Family Pack subscription, you can still create new family member accounts
    I think "alansky1" has the right idea:
    Please visit the MobileMe Feedback Page and let Apple know how you feel about this issue. It may do no good, but it certainly can't hurt.

  • Using windows7..I can not longer copy and paste, cut and paste. what happened?

    Using windows 7, on a Compaq Presario, for a time now, I am not able to cut and paste, or copy and paste. Used to work by right click, highlite copy, got to word page and paste. I cannot get right click to bring this box up. What is happening?

    I can't either. It is helpful when needing a link to send to a classmate via email. I also can't copy address bar because the complete adress no longer shows. I like XP. My Vista does better. This is a major problem when doing large papers 4 class. I use Son of Citation. You have to be able to copy paste. I have enough class work to do I don't need more...

  • MSI and Via what happened ??

    Just wondering what ever happened to any new motherboards based on the K8T890 or the new K8T900 chipsets has MSI given up on VIA chipsets and went to Nforce 4 for the most part ?
      I ask because back in Dec. Of 2005 I emailed MSI about a new board based on the K8T900
    chipset , I was told it would be released in March , well its April and no board Waht happened did MSI give up on VIA ??

    No idea too....
    But it could be that those chipsets are not worth the trouble of designing a new motherbord for them, who knows?
    I mean compared to the current VIA chipsets the nVidia ones are way better....so it could be that MSI is waiting for a VIA chipset that can match it....
    But as I said, I don't know, just guessing here.

  • Log and Transfer - what happens to the source files?

    I'm an experienced FCE4 user, but am using Log and Transfer for the first time with my new Canon Vixia HF M30 camera. Icons for the converted files are showing up in the Browser in FCE4, but where are the underlying converted flies? I didn't copy them from the camcorder to my hard drive when I started the process.

    Log and Transfer behaves the same way as Capture. The files are transferred to the Capture Scratch folder on your scratch disk.

  • I synched my iphone and lost some purchased songs and albums. what happened and how do i get them back?

    just a minute ago i connected my iphone to itunes so that i could transfer some albums i've purchased recently. it started it's usual synching process and once it was finished i found i'd lost more than a few recently purchased albums. not sure why or anything but i want them back!! how do i do so? please help!!

    You don't.  You buy one and only one download.  it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use you backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Erasing Content and Settings -- What happens to the saved apps in itunes?

    Hey all,
    I've been thinking about avoiding to do a HUGE backup with my ipod touch 2nd gen 32GB to install iOS4 by erasing all the content and settings of my existing ipod. By HUGE, I mean, leaving your ipod to backup for 6 hours and it's less than 25% done. I tried a few times and gave up each time because it was taking ridiciously long. Anyways, not the issue I'm asking.
    I was wondering if I erase all the content and settings from the ipod itself through Settings > General > Reset (or something like that), can I retrieve the applications saved on my computer?
    Can i also retrieve my apps if I were to restore my ipod from itunes and set it as a new ipod?
    I see my apps from itunes and I'm hoping they have the data saved from my last sync, but I'm worried if I start over with a 'new' ipod, they won't transfer over for whatever reason.
    (...though judging by all the forum posts on how iOS4 is pure evil, waiting doesn't seem so bad..)
    Thanks in advance!

    Perfect!
    Thanks for the quick answer!
    Cheers.

  • Lost all photos and projects - What happened

    Lost all my projects and photographs! Years worth...
    Is it not compatible with my OS?
    DId I maybe delete the aperture library file?
    Please help me get everything back.
    I apprecaite anyones input and walking me through the steps of locating my files.
    Thanks in advance!

    It sounds, like a new empty library has been created.
    You could use Terminal's Find command find any other libraries you may have.
    The terminal App is located in your Applications/Utility folder. Navigate to it in finder (or use launchpad and type 'ter' to find it). When you find it, lauch Terminal.app
    This will give you a command line window where you can type various commands to examine your system.
    Copy the following command and paste it into terminal, then press return to run it.
    find . -iname "*.aplibrary" 2>/dev/null
    If it finds any libraries is will show you the path to where each is located.
    If it doesn't find anything, you may need to look to your backup.
    I don't know if Aperture 2 works properly on Mavericks.

  • My ipod just lost all videos and music what happened

    help please

    - You can try a reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    But I do not think it will work.
    - Why not just sync then again from your computer?
    - If they are not on your computer, and they are iTunes' purchases thiswill work if you are in the USA with the latest iTunes:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - If they were taken by your camera, would they be in your iPod backup on your computer?  If yes, then restore from backup.  Just make sure that iTunes is set to NOT automatically sync when connected since when you connect, the iPod gets synced and that includes a backup and erases past backups.

  • What happens to Game Center if I have the same game on my iPad and my iPhone?

    I have an iPhone and an iPad on the same Apple ID. I have a few games on my iPhone that I would like to play on my iPad too. I would like some information on what will happen to my Game Center profile if I download these games to my iPad too.
    Will the game progression, achievements, and leaderboard position on my iPhone be synced with my iPad (so I could continue from where I left off on my iPhone)?
    If the the answer to the question above is no:
    Will the games recognize what achievements I have earned already?
    Will the games recognize my leaderboard positions?
    Will the progression on my iPhone be deleted and moved to my iPad?

    This link is for profile settings I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.
    I couldn't find anything else using google.
    You may need to just test out one app and see what happens.
