Occasional black display since upgrading to 10.4.10

New issue since upgrading to OSX 10.4.10. Now my 3 1/2 year old Apple Studio Display (flat screen LCD) occasionally goes black for a second, then the image returns. This has happened sometimes once a day or more frequently, sometimes the monitor goes for several days without occurring. My 2nd older LaCie CRT monitor (in extended desktop mode) doesn't exhibit this problem.
About a year after purchase the display had a backlight issue and was replaced by Apple under Apple Care. The (refurbished) display soon lost reliability on its USB ports but I just connect the keyboard directly to the G4, so that isn't serious.
Is there something in the latest system update that might have messed with the video card?

I'm having the same problem! At first after installing leopard it wouldn't let me access the apple site! Called support they had me make up another user and access it from there and it worked. Also closed all my start up items. Now it won't let me access Itunes store even though I can access the web for everything else! Any clues??

Multi Display since upgrade

Sadly i succumbed to Microsoft's constant bombarding for a free windows 8.1 upgrade and am now kicking myself.
I have a HP110-052ea Desktop PC now running windows 8.1, 64bit mode
Before updating i was happily running 2 monitors and a connection to my tv now i can only run 1 and it is not like the system doesnt know there is more than one connected.
when i start up my digital monitor starts up until the point when windows starts to display the splash screen it then switches to the avi monitor.
I used to be able to go to display settings and arrange monmitors and telly how i want but now i do not have the option it says i only have one monitor.
The telly is connects via a USB dongle and always worked well and whilst it recognises it in device manager it will not allow me to display on it
I have tried downloading the latest drivers from site but still no joy they have made no difference
Device manager tells me graphic device is working correct but it is yellow flagged
can anyone help ?

Hello again @Tonynash,
I suspect that there may be more that went wrong than just your display. I am going to recommend that you do a backup and full factory recovery of your computer. This will fix your restore feature as well as the tools partition that is also not working. To backup your personal information and ensure that it is not lost I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), which will ensure your personal files are up to date.
***WARNING!! If you want to keep any emails or bookmarks/favorites you will want to back those up as well as I do not believe they are backed up in the HP Backup process.
Next, I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will you through recovering your computer back to factory settings.
*** IMPORTANT - Your personal files such as libraries, personalization settings, user accounts, and desktop themes are permanently removed. As well the computer settings are returned to the defaults (the way it was when it came from the factory). All apps and software that were installed on the computer when it came from the factory are reinstalled, and their settings are reset to the defaults. Additionally, software, apps, programs, and everything that you have installed or saved on the computer are permanently removed.
I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Problem with 4 displays since upgrading from 10.3.9 to 10.5.6

I was happily running 4 displays from my 2 graphics cards (9600XT and 9200) under 10.3.9. 3 x DVI (one of which is with the ACI adapter) and 1 running via VGA to a plasma TV. The 3 displays running from DVI were all "name" recognized and all resolution options were available.
I have now upgraded to 10.5.6 and suddenly two of the displays are recognized and I am only given a single, low resolution option on the other two - also on these two affected displays, display the Leopard background (the Universe pic) is mainly blue - almost like when you have a loose cable (but they are not).
The problem is not card specific i.e. it seem to effect one socket from each card.
I have tried swapping the displays between the cards and when I do the alternate display is then recognized so it can't be a problem with any of the displays either.
Any ideas? I need all 4 displays running in their respective resolutions (and without a blue screen) for Logic screenshots.

Screen Black Out since upgraded to 10.6.5

During the update to 10.6.5 using downloaded DMG (from Apple site), my Macbook black out during the installation. My LCD screen became Black, couldn't brighten up using F2 (brightness control). I have to Share Screen from my other iMac to click RESTART after the installation.
My 2nd black out happened just 20 minutes ago while I was in Mail program. My LCD turned black and couldn't brighten up. So I force Shut Down to restart my computer.
Any advice on this because the 1st Black Out happen during installation, and today's the 2nd. It never happen before, could it be there's a bug in the software update to 10.6.5?

It happened this morning again. Attached a picture I took of my MacBook when it went dark. I have to close the lid to sleep and wake up again to regain brightness.

Since upgrade, my ipad screen goes black

Since upgrading my ipad2 to version 7.1 my screen goes screen goes black very often and I have to return to whatever I was doing and start over. Saw various online discussions and they advise restart or change settings and that doesn't help. PLEASE anyone.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display. There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark. How can I go back to attached images?

Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display. There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark. Double clicking on the box will open the image in a separate window. It's very slow and tedious for multiple images. How can I go back to attached and displayed images? If I click on "Forward", the images appear instantly in the email to be forwarded.

Scott,
My problem seemed to fix itself. Or, by shutting down the computer one night, instead of putting it to sleep, may have reset something. Since updating to Mavericks, I always (or usually) let the computer sleep overnight or anytime I'm walking away from it. A few days ago, I was updating notes for my kids about how to find all my stuff and how to turn on my computer, so I wanted to rewrite the start-up procedures for the iMac, just in case they ever need to. Well, I shut it down one night so the following morning, I could write down each step. Lo and behold, the images, etc. are all there again! Solved, but I'm not sure why.

Websites not displaying correctly since upgrading to FF 10.0

Since upgrading to FF 10.0 on Mac OS X 10.7.2 i have noticed that some sites are not loading correctly or they do not function like they used to.
For example:
1. The login page for Tumblr displays just the background image, not the login form.
2. In the Art section of Newgrounds i can no longer change the content filter by clicking on the icons.
However these sites still work fine with Safari and Chrome. For now i am moving to Chrome unless someone knows what is happening and how i can fix it?

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* Update All your Firefox Plugins -> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]
** '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''
Check and tell if its working.

Since upgrading to FF5, i get the following xml error on local development server (IIS 7 Windows 7): XML Parsing Error: no element found, Line Number 1, Column 1. The pages display fine when uploaded to hosting server. How do i resolve it

All aspx pages running locally via IIS or Visual studio inbuilt server can not be displayed in FF5. This problem has only occured since upgrading to FF5. The same sites/code worked fine with the previous version of FF.
When uploaded onto a hosting server the pages display fine. Pages all display ok on local IIS on IE, chrome, opera etc.
I do go through a proxy server, but so do the other browsers.
All this means i can't develop locally on FF. Help please!

Maybe your application doesn't support "Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM & NTLM".

Display resolution settings not storing since upgrading monitors

We have (2) Mac Pros and since upgrading to larger monitors we have been having issues with the resolution settings not "storing" in display preferences. The computer setups are slightly different, and the monitor sizes and make/models are both different, but the problems are the same:
1) Mac Pro DVI out > VGA switcher > Monitor VGA input
2) Mac Pro DVI out > VGA switcher > DVI switcher > Monitor DVI input
(*Note - I know this whole setup seems ridiculous, but it's the way each of the rooms were hard-wired)
With both machines the problems intermittently vary from the resolution itself changing at random when turning on the machine each day, to the desktop background being about 2/3 the size of the screen, while all of the icons and rest of the desktop being normal sized/extended to the edges of the monitor as it should.
It seems that if we change resolution to anything else, and then change back to the desired resolution, that usually solves the problem.
Does anyone know why these settings won't save?
(*Note - we recently upgraded to Lion, but the issue was there before and after the upgrade.)

You must close the window and save changes to keep them.
You may have a problem with Disk Permissions -- the file may not be available to you for writing.

Word docs don't display fonts since upgrade to 10.6.

Word docs don't display fonts since upgrade to 10.6. Got this error message in Console:
6/14/11 9:38:14 AM [0x0-0x11011].com.microsoft.Word[140] Tue Jun 14 09:38:14 Michael-2.local FontCacheTool[144] <Error>: ATSFontGetPostScriptName failed: error -984.

Thanks but I searched and searched there. Nothing listed that addresses this issue. Am I the only person to upgrade to 10.6 and have a problem with seeing type in Word afterwards? Does anyone understand what the error message means?

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

My Roboform2Go no longer displays in toolbar at top since upgraded to 31.0

SInce upgrading from 30.0 to 31.0, my Roboform2Go, operating from a flash drive, no longer displays a tool bar at the top. Roboform has had problems in Firefox since it went to 26.0 (or thereabouts), but Roboform would come back if I exited and restarted Firefox. That no longer works, and even exiting Firefox and closeding and reopening Roboform2Go doesn't work.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional

I had this problem with Roboform2go while using version 7.6.*.* something. Now after upgrading to version 7.9.8.5 and upgrading my firefox from 29.* something, I am still having the same problem. I also reformatted my USB drive and installed the newest version (7.9.8.5) and then reloaded my info to the drive. Still no joy.......:( . Hope some smart firefox developper knows the answer. I know this is volunteer work for you guys, so I will simply thank you now for any effort you can put on this and I will thank you in advance for your hard work in finding a solution. :)
