Odd vertical pixel lines not displaying

Hello everyone,
Today I started having some problems with my little more than a year old MacBook Pro. Take a look at these pictures to know what I'm talking about:
http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/~graimundo/MacBookScreen.JPG (6 MB)
http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/~graimundo/MacBookScreen_CloseUP.JPG (8 MB)
It seems as if suddenly all the pixels of the odd vertical lines of the screen went dead. Also on one reboot instead of black (not on) pixels I got Cyan lines (didn't take pictures tho:( ).
I searched the forums and the web for anyone with a similar problem but I didn't have any luck I even tried proposed solutions for other display problems such as reseting PRAM, going to sleep and back, turning the screen off and on, etc but no luck.
I plan on doing a hardware test but unfortunately I am away from home until 10 of May so I don't have the installation CD handy.
Anyone has any idea what might cause such an issue? Maybe a faulty connection from the board to the screen? I don't think it's a graphics card hardware issue since I can take screenshots with no problems and the computer is working perfectly otherwise.
Any insights/suggestions will be greatly apprecitated.
Best regards,
Chewbacca

Hi,
Thanks for the reply I searched the apple defects site but didn't come across anything that could help me.
Anyway I have an update... Today as I started the hardware test the screen just turned ok. It had strips when I turned it on but once i began the test the screen simply got fixed :P I just wonder if it will stay that way or if it will return to its striped status. I'll keep the forums updated.
Cheers

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.

Frame line not display in next page of main window

hi Xpert,
I am creating layout in SAP SCRIpt,it working fine only the main window of next page frame line is not display.
i m define next page as a FIRST page and writing main window of first page following coding
/:           POSITION XORIGIN '0.50' CM YORIGIN '7.75' CM
/:           SIZE HEIGHT '17' CM WIDTH '19.25' CM
/:           BOX FRAME 10 TW
when i run the program first page are coming properly and only when i go in second page of output then main window lines not displaying.
please guide me how to solve this problem.
Regards,
pravin

Hi Praveen,
In that case why you have to make the main window in the first page and secondry window.
You can use it as manin window itself. Print the total amount in the main window itself in the first page. and copy that main window to the second page.
In the first page under the main window create a text. and there u print the total value and text.
Now copy the main window to the second page..only COPY DONT CREATE NEW.
In the second page now under the main window create the table to print the line items. What every u add in the second page main window it will come in the first age also in the smartforms. But it will nto get printed in the first page.After the text to print the totals call the COMMAND option and call next page in that.
Hope you got me..

My vertical Spry is not displaying properly in IE 8

I am working on my first website using Dreamweaver CS4 and my spry is not displaying properly over my flash photo gallery. It looks ok in Firefox (although the borders are missing on my submenu for "sheds tool list") but in IE 8 the submenus can't be seen. How can I correct this?

You flash movie doesn't have the parameter wmode=transparent. If you set that, the menu bar will be on top.

Pdfs and screenshots opened in Photoshop are appearing pixelated, or not displaying at all.

Hi. I'm on a new iMac system. (iMac 27" retina - Yosemite OS X 10.10).
Whenever I take a screenshot and open it up in Photoshop by using File/Open and locating the screenshot, it is appearing pixelated.
The same thing is occurring when I try to open a pdf, or the pdf doesn't appear at all.
Here is a saved photoshop file (jpg) of how a screenshot is appearing in Photoshop. I just took a screenshot of this page for the purposes of this exercise. Other screenshots appear even more pixelated.
The only reason I am opening screenshots in Photoshop is to crop them before posting anywhere or sending to anyone.
I'm selecting 'use the embedded profile (instead of the working space).
I'd attach the image of how a pdf is appearing in Photoshop but it is not displaying anything at the moment. A file does open to the right shape/size of the pdf but it appears blank.
I'm using File/Open locating the pdf file, I click OPEN, the specs I put in are: 300dpi, Select: Page1, Anti-aliased is ticked, Crop to Bounding Box, width: 19.8cm, height 8.8cm, contain proportions is ticked, 300dpi per inch, fit page, Bid depth: 8 bit, CMYK, Thumbnail size: Fit Page.
Which is everything I used to do on my old Mac, and which worked perfectly, but not working now. Wondering if it's a bug or if I'm missing something in Photoshop, due to it being an upgraded Photoshop version (CC2014).
This is how the pdf file of an advertisement I need to insert into a brochure appears in photoshop. If I open it again, it will again render differently.
Btw, the screenshot or the pdf file previews fine when about to open it (in the Finder/folder).

Correction for above: 'Bit depth' not ' Bid depth'

Spreadsheet component - bottom grid line not displaying in swf file

Hi,
I'm having an issue with the spreadsheet component. I'm using the "Ignore blank cells in Values" option on the behavior tab. This works fine. The problem I'm having is the bottom grid line in the spreadsheet table is not displaying in the swf file. The bottom grid line displays correctly in Preview mode....but is not displaying in the swf file. Anyone have any ideas on why?
Thanks

I'm not sure if I've interpreted your response correctly. Our entire dashboard app is built on the swf files being called from the URL buttons. We are not using HTML files. Are you saying that if I do a file export to HTML that the swf file generated from this will display the bottom grid lines?
I noticed that the spreadsheet component grid lines display correctly in the swf when not checking the ignore blank cells option in the behavior tab.
So what would be our options here.....either uncheck the display grid lines for the spreadsheet component to not display the grid lines at all, or do not use the ignore blank cells option in the behavior tab to display a fixed number of rows each time?
Thanks for the response, Matt.

Header Line not Displayed in Smartform

Hi all,
in Smartforms , i am having one Page.
in the main window , in Footer i am having Grand total to be displayed in the last page. i have put condition
SFSY-PAGE = SFSY-JOBPAGES.
the Problem is in the last page the header line is not displayed.
in all other pages it is getting displayed.
Can anyone help me out.
Regards.
Suki.

Ok. I got the problem now. There is not simple solution for this.
You can create a new window just only for header. Put it on the same place as the Current Header line starts.
Move the contents from Main table header line to Header window.
This way, the header will print on all the pages.

Vertical red line on display

My iMac G5 is two years old and now have a thin vertical red line on the screen.
Is it a hardware problem?

It may be that youre having the screen problem described in those posts:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=962994&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=974094&tstart=0
If it is this, the line would normally multiply... if you have Applecare plan send it for repair I would say; without applecare the european law gives you 2 years warranty.
Good luck

Spry Vertical Menu does not display properly when uploaded to server.

I am using Dreamweaver CS5 Version 11.0 Build 4909 on Windows XP. The website I am working on is displaying the ordered list incorrectly. The drop down submenus are not lined up underneath each other.
So I did a basic one and uploaded it to the server and had the same outcome. Locally it looks fine but uploaded to the hosting server not fine. Below is the code from the document called deleteme.html. I am new to all this so I apologize if this seems basic. Thanks for your help in advanced.

Hello all,
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. I have it working now but I have other issues that I will post separately.
Here was my thought process and you can tell me if I am right or wrong. I was working with multiple pages that I was using Spry. I had only one folder set that all the Spry Assets were being saved into. My thinking was that they were getting over written. So I deleted the folder and re-built the page. When I deleted Spry Assets folder it showed me I had 6 pages linked to the Spry Assets folder. I also deleted my Spry Assets folder on my hosting server....thought I would really start from scratch. When I went to upload the files I created a SpryAssets folder and what I realized I had originally put a space between the y and a of the folder name. So I am not sure if the elements in the Spry Assets folder were getting over written or it was because I had a space in the folder name. Thanks again, Mike

Hi,
You have probably built your code without debug information.

The vertical paginators is not displayed

Hi all,
Default, the vertical paginators are always visible, regardless of the number of visible rows you choose.
But why vertical paginators didn't show in the footer of ALV???
Thanks a lot!

Because scroll bars have been enabled in the ALV instead of paging?
Given that the "vertical paginators" are discontinued as of 7.01 with lightspeed rendering I'd suggest that you don't build your applications to rely on them - otherwise your user documentation will need to be updated when you patch to a later NW level.

If the machine is under AppleCare and you haven´t bumped the machine into any doors, or it hasn´t fallen, have the machine looked at by a service technician. If however, you have had any accidents which might have caused it to get loose or frayed, I´d contact one of these shops as they often cost less than Apple to repair

Veritcal Lines, Fainted Display, & Solarized Display

Well as for many people who own an iMac G5 (Late 2006). We seem to all get vertical pixel lines. I first got mine a year right after I bought my mac, so my warranty just expired. Few months later 4 of them popped out, getting me more frustrated with it being on both sides. Just this morning I turned on my computer to see my display being Fainted & Solarized. How fainted? Fainted almost like Blue would be a purplish light blue... but white would be more fainted. Also anything black, like pitch black on my computer would be solarized, a different color. Either green to purple the color would be on a supposed black color.
Since I'm not eligible for AppleCare, what are my other options & tell me if the Fainted-Solarized Display is a Hardware problem.
P.S. If I would get a 20" Extended Display for my Mac, would the pixel lines show on the extended display or it wouldn't. Along with the fainted-solarized part.

The only way to find that out is take the machine into a shop and connect an external display to it yourself. Ask them to lend you an adapter so you can do the test.

Files not displaying in list view?

I recently upgraded my MacPro (early 2008 8core) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Lion.
At first i wanted to do a fresh install on my machine but soon realised it wasnt possible to import old accounts from another internal drive so i opted to upgrade the system instead.
After doing so I was faced with an odd problem of files not displaying in my finder windows when switching through internal drives or changing from 'file view' to 'list view' or 'column view' etc...
The attached screenshots were taken in sequence youll also note that the path bar & top window name dont update either.
The relevant drives are in healthy condition with several tests run over them to ensure their healthy(Disk Utility & Drive Genius). I have also run permissions repair, and a utility to empty cahces etc (OnyX). From what i can see its possibly something to do with the Finder not updating or refreshing the window? The issue seems to be isolated to the drives however intermittently the problem exists deeper into the directory on 'TerraTank' Volume.
The finder also crashes semi-frequently and the problem seems to dispaear for a while and revealing the contents of these volumes for a few mins.
I have also checked activity monitor to see if any particular process was going haywire and all seemed relativly normal.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Regards,
JP

Onyx may be causing problems. Don't use it on a non-backed up system, as cleaning caches may damage them, and make things not work. Make sure your Spotlight indexes all drives you wish to be searchable. Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight and add each hard drive to the Privacy section, and then remove it again. Then click on the Spotlight menu every half hour to see when it stops saying that it is indexing. It might take a few hours. But once done, it should be fixed.
