Os10.3.9 crash-screen is now 'flickery'-looks like wrong refresh rate

I crashed Protools (typical in osx it seems). After a restart my screen (digital) looks all flickery - sort of like the messed up look you can get by selecting the wrong refresh rate or unsupported resolution.
1. It's not the monitor - I have 2 other os's installed (os9.2.2 and os10.4.7) which continue to work fine.
2. Tech Tool can find nothing wrong.
3. OS10.3 is my only choice for PT6.4.1 - my point: can't upgrade.
4. The display settings are as I last set them and yes I tried simply re-selecting the same options.
5. I'll speculate that the display driver got corrupted or something.
6. I've restarted several times and switched back and forth between os's with no change in my corrupt 10.3.9.
7. The Protools hardware tests OK and is still running in os9.
8. I haven't really tried running anything serious in the corrupt os10.3.9 so I don't know if there are any other clues.
Anyone seen this and know what to do?

3) If you do not specify a restricted list of modelines, I'm pretty sure all of them will be read from the EDID. I have only one modeline appearing in the output of xrandr and only one appearing in the XFCE display dialog. I do this in the "Display" SubSections where you list all the bit depths.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I never restricted anything, the modes are simply not there in the EDID. Call it manufacturers safety, I call it manucafturers dumbness. Anyway, what I like is full list of modes from 640x480 to maximum supported with every single refresh rate mode which wont kill my eyes (85+ Hz). Usually the highest modes aren't there even if the display supports them. Missing refresh rate modes are the most typical flaw here.

when trying manually added mode, as I already wrote.

On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches long and I cant seem to get rid of them. Is my computer dying or being hacked

On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them. Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?

I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing.
What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.

Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx. I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account? Now it looks like this. One account was opened with address A. I receive in this account email

Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.
I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account?
Now it looks like this.
One account was opened with address A.
I receive in this account emails for address A and B.
But I can only write and answer with address A.

Hi Rudegar,
Sorry for my late reply.
It s not the amount of accounts I'm struggling with.
When I create now for both email addresses one account, then I receive the same emails two times.
That is not what I want.
Because on gmx the two email addresses have the same inbox and outbox.
E.g. I can login to my gmx account either with email A or B. It doesn't matter.
Now I want to have the same on my ipad.
One account with both email addresses.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If Demo's suggestions don't help, and the iPad is out of warranty, try giving it a solid smack or two on the back with your knuckles or your palm. Hit where the Apple logo is or just above it, and be firm but not harsh.
Something internal might be a touch loose and a good smack or two may sort things out

Why do you so much want to be chrome. the way firefox looked before was fine. now you look like a chrome want to be. why

you look just like chrome. and the only time i can see someone or something wanting to look like someone or something is because they want to be that. do you want to be chrome are they that much better than you that you have to look like them. Firefox was great the way it was. now you are just a copy cat.

Zut! Now it looks like the latch!

Thanks to all the advice and encouragement on this forum, I've managed to keep my TiBook alive: new HD, added RAM, tight hinges relieved… For the last couple of months, for no apparent reason, the display no longer clicks softly shut. The machine goes into sleep mode as soon as the display is lowered, which is good, but do I ever risk it waking up because the lid pops open? And considering that this machine spends most of its time sitting on a desk, should I consider trying to replace the latch, if indeed this is a repair that I can take on myself? Or is there a way that I can "tickle" the latch back into working order?

My dear, I don't think we're about to say "au revoir"!
But I don't get a prompt; this is what I get when I launch Terminal :
+Last login: Wed Aug 5 00:32:47 on ttyp0+

I then paste in the command you gave me, and the window looks like this:

+rke75-4-82-234-109-103:~ carolemoy$ sudo pmset lidwake 0+
and when I hit Return, this is what I get:

But then it won't let me type in my password, and yes, I am the admin user of the machine. (Sigh) So close, and yet so far!
BTW, what's the trick for pasting screen dumps into these posts?
I also find it funny that my system is in French, but the warning is in English (it's actually kind of a relief, since computer-speak in French is enough to make anyone crosseyed).
Help (whimper)! Sorry to be such a pain.

I had mobile me apple ID but deleted it. Now it looks like I have one Apple ID but hen when I go to update apps it asks for my @me acct. how do I get it to change

I changed to iCloud and had nothing but trouble so I deleted it. I had a @me acct and it worked great, but iCloud came out and I tried it but just got discouraged. So now I think or it shows on my apple profile I am ack to my original apple I'd which is my original email acct. but when I try to update an app on my iPhone or iPad it automatically asks for my @me password. I do not have it nor do I want it. If Apple has only my one iD why is this appending.?

It's not possible to delete an iCloud account.
You can turn off the services, but that doesn't delete the account.

HT4972 I am trying to install iOS 6 on my IPAD2 but none of the screens that you display look like mine and there is no click to update button.

I am trying to install iOS 6 on my IPAD2 but none of the screens that are displayed are what is on my IPAD.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

HT4623 I bought a black one,why my ip5 always fades ??Now it looks like a white one!! what's wrong!

You see! This is my iphone5 now! I bought it 5 days later,and i took care of it as my baby! but it faded by itself ！Please explain it !

That's good to hear that the "Yellow tint" has sorted it self out.
Maybe the "Heat" issues that that people have with the batteries will sort it self out after a few discharge - recharge cycles.

All is working fine for me now! Looks like this issue is behind us!

I saw a friends post this morning that said he was back up and running. I went and published and all works just fine. Comments are back.. slideshow works fine... funny lines gone etc... Everyone take a breath!

Yeah, my site seems to be working now too!

Fixed Camera Shake, Now It Looks Like It's On The Ocean

Before going back and starting over, thought I'd check to see if it sounded familiar to anyone. First time using Shake to fix a couple of bumps into the DP at a live show. The bumps don't show, but now the whole thing is rocking like were on a wooden ship at high seas. I used Captain Mench's tutorial as a guide. My translation was set at 1.5, rotation at 3, and zoom at 1. Any help is appreciated.

If it's just bumps... I'd use a stabilize node instead.
The smoothcam will create a set of points over time. Not knowing what your footage is though is an issue. If you've got pans and such... not good for the stabilizer.
Maybe just do it by hand... or limit the area of the clip you want to smooth.

IBook g4 stuck on start up with gray screen and circle that looks like its downloading

iBook G4 stuck on gray startup screen with circle like it's downloading

If your iBook G4 portable running OS X 10.5.8 or 10.4+
shows a grey screen on startup or other similar variant
to the failure to fully start, there are a few good Support
articles from Apple Support site online that may help.
Each has information to read through, consider, & try.
•Mac OS X: Grey screen appears during startup...
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
•Resolve startup issues & perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417
This is akin to troubleshooting since you have a measure
of trial-and-error to resolve the problem; & at times there
may be more than one thing to do, &/or more than once.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!
