Powerbook 17" display glitch with 10.5.5

Since updating to 10.5.5, I have a 2" wide vertical white stripe on the far left of the display that appears at startup and gradually corrects itself over about 30 seconds.
I have read about the possibility of drivers for my graphics card (ATI Radeon 9700) being the culprit but does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks

I can't believe that there is nobody here with a brain the size of a planet that can help out a Brit in distress!?
There must be a fix somewhere??

Weird display glitches with C2D MBP Rev B.

Hi,
I have experienced various display glitches on Leopard. I have a 256Mb ATI X1600. These problems never occured in Tiger. Here is an example:
http://i3.tinypic.com/6jus228.png
They appear when I wake up from sleep, plug an external monitor or change the resolution.
I thought it was a third party issue. I made a fresh install of leopard... same problem.
I thought it was a video card issue so I launched Half life 2 in boot camp, no glitches.
The only problem similar I found was about a missing ATI RoM Xtender file. The fix didn't work.
Anyone has the same problem ?
So far I think that my MBP is a lemon, Apple replaced a DDRAM stick, the screen, the power cord, the battery and the superdrive.
I'll wait for the 10.5.1 update. If it is not fixed, I'll go to the Apple repair center.

well, I just returned from the Apple Store. They did open a Trouble Ticket for me and gave me a case #. The good news is we both (dude from the genius bar) agree its not a hardware issue so I did not have to send out my Mac. Since the problem is able to be re-produced for me he was able to see what Im talking about.
manuamador,
are you seeing green static when you open up Photo Booth (or iChat as well) and select the visual effects on the 3rd tab (moon, roller coaster, polka dots...)? This is how I was able to prove the issue 100% of the time. as for the same issue you have (here is a screen shot of mine) http://telcon-solutions.com/apple/Picture1.jpg
and this is what happens when I replicate video issue with photo booth and iChat
http://telcon-solutions.com/apple/Picture2.jpg
Let me know if this does the same for you. Also, do go into apple and report this so we can hopefully raise a issue and get a fix sooner. The more of these show up, the sooner Apple will pay attention to it. I suspect it has to do with the Radeon X1600 since we both have the same video card.

Display glitches with KDE4.6 [SOLVED]

Is anybody else getting some display artifacts with KDE4.6? I particularly see it after closing a window that has overlapped the main panel.

I got the main panel on top, and each time I open/close Yakuake (it opens top-down), some parts (if not all) of the panel keep displaying some pieces of the terminal emulator, and I can't see it anymore, until I move my mouse over or some app force a refresh of the desktop.
Nvidia Geforce 275 GTX with proprietary driver version 260.19.36.
You and I have precisely the same problem. I have the main panel across the top and I use Yakuake a lot, opening it top-down. To make the artifact go away, I do as you do -- move my mouse over the artifact to make it repaint that part of the screen.
If anybody has a clue about how to stop this, I'm all ears. I use Yakuake to do almost all of my console activities, so this is happening many times a day.

How do you prevent display glitches with multiple while loops.

I would like to use 2 while loops, 1 for displaying elapsed time and the other for executing a sequence of initialization steps. Every time the sequence transistions from one frame to the next, I get a glitch in the elapsed time display. How can this be avoided? Should I be going about this in a different way?

I would drop the whole semaphore thing and hold the cluster in a functional global (also called a shift register database or LV2-style global, you can find info on the concept here). Add methods to update different parts of the cluster. Much easier code and the required protection of the cluster is there.

Connect the powerbook 15"-Display with a new G5 dual and a ACD?

hi
i wonder if i could connect the pb 15" display with a new G5 dual and turn the pb off, only the display on?
that would be fun.
i am working with a pb 15" and a ACD 20" with Photoshop mainly.
the 15" is the palettes‘ server and the ACD is the main working screen where i retouch my pics.
so if i buy a G5 dual now, i would have to buy a ACD30" for example to use one display for all the Photoshop Palettes and couldn use the pb 15" anymore?
any other less awkward solutions i am not aware of maybe?
thanks"

I'm pretty sure that you can't use a PowerBook for it's display only. You already know, of course, that you can use the PowerBook, as a computer, with an external monitor, with or without the PB's own display running, but so far as I know you cannot use a PB solely for its display.
So, if you bought a G5 dual now, and bought an ACD 30", you could use both your ACD's with your new G5 dual, the 20" and the 30" , but your PowerBook would have to watch the proceedings from the sidelines.

Display Issues with mini (Mid 2010) and LG L246WP

I recently purchased a new mini (Mid 2010 base model) and planned to use it with my 24" LG L246WP monitor, which is about 3 years old. The monitor has VGA, component, and HDMI inputs.
I used an HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the mini directly to the monitor, and the output is completely messed up. The mini recognized the monitor (titling the System Preferences > Display dialog with 'L246WP') and set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200, but on the monitor the image is cropped to what looks like a 4:3 aspect ratio and with part of the image shifted up and left so I cannot view the top menu bar or the left hand side of the desktop. The monitor's on-screen display shows 1080p in this mode.
The Display dialog also gives me an option for 1080p. I can select this and use the Underscan slider to resize the desktop output to fit on the screen, but it is still shifted left and must be resized smaller than the available display space (plus the total image is only 1080 pixels, not using the monitor's full native screen). In this mode, 1080p also shows on the monitor's on-screen display.
I tried 1024x768 to see if I could get a properly-positioned image, but the desktop was shifted just like in the 1920x1200 case and the monitor's on-screen display status still reported 1080p.
The monitor has a menu setting under an HDMI heading with "Video" and "PC" options, but changing this selection does not make a difference.
Since the monitor came out before HDMI was as widespread as it is today, it came with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so I also tried using that cable with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with the mini, but this did not make a difference either.
To prove it wasn't the HDMI cable, I connected the mini to my Samsung 6300 series 40" LED HDTV and with some tweaking of the Underscan slider the displayed image filled the screen perfectly.
I've searched the Internet and various forum threads (i.e. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222&page=63) seem to indicate this monitor can send a corrupted EDID that causes issues, especially with nVidia graphics drivers. On Windows you can use registry or driver hacks to override the EDID with the correct values, but on OS X this doesn't seem possible (I was hoping for a Terminal one-liner but it seems this doesn't exist). I have seen some mentions of the shareware SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com), which looks like it gives you the option to override resolution settings, but I haven't tried this yet.
It also appears to me that the monitor is always interpreting the signal (or the mini is always sending the signal) as 1080p, even if I've set 1920x1200 in the Display dialog. I don't know if this is a defect in the monitor where it always assumes the HDMI input is a 1080p source (previous I used it with an Xbox 360 with no issues but that was 1080p HDMI), or if is a bug in the graphics drivers (or at least a lack of flexibility / miscommunication to the user trying to handle a corrupt EDID).
I asked my local Genius Bar for advice today (without bringing any hardware in) but was not told anything I didn't already know.
I'm trying to determine the best way to work through this issue. *My questions are:*
Would it make any difference if I used a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter (and then my DVI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI input)?
What about a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter? In the past I used a 12" Powerbook (via a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter) with this monitor and had no display issues like this, but I'd prefer to stick with a digital connection on my brand new mini.
Is SwitchResX the only practical way in OS X to override a corrupt EDID and force the mini to output a certain resolution?
Besides the various adapters and SwitchResX, is there anything else I should try before buying a new monitor?

Hello EPWilson4984.
I have been experiencing the same issues you described. Connecting my brand new Mac Mini to my Westinghouse 24”monitor (L2410NM, 1920x1200 pixel resolution) produces a very fuzzy and washed out image quality. The Mac recognizes the monitor and applies the right resolution (1920x1200), but it looks just awful. The EDID info is definitely not right.
Now, I tried your suggestion (DVI-to-HDMI), and similar suggestions from other threads, but nothing works. Nothing seems to work at all.
The main input for the monitor is HDMI, so whatever cable I use, in the end always has to connect to the monitor via HDMI. I tried all these combinations with zero success:
Mac mini -> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
Mac mini -> displayport –HDMI adapter-> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
Mac mini -> displayport –DVI adapter-> DVI-to-HDMI cable -> monitor (result: it gives me a blank screen, no image at all)
I’m running out of options. Don’t know what to do. The 24” monitor produces beautiful, crisp images when hooked to my Windows 7 PC. It looks horrible when connected to my brand new Mac Mini.
Any alternatives you may have come across? Please let me know, thank you.

Errors/Glitches with my brand new Equium A200 15I (incl video hardware)

Hi,
I just treated myself to a new laptop last Saturday and have thus only had it for about 3 and a half days so far but I noticed a few small things that I weren't sure were errors/faults or if they were just because its new, such as the fact that sometimes I type things with the keyboard and some of the letters don't appear on screen, which I think is probably more to do with me not typing or pressing heavily enough on the keys rather than anything else, its not happening so much now...the touch pad gets a bit sticky too and it thinks I want to scroll up and down when I want to move the cursor not scroll sometimes but I manage to get it to work, I think most laptops have glitches like this and presumably I could help fix it by calibrating the touch pad(?) I haven't had time to look into that yet though... there are a few other things though and most worryingly just this morning I got a video hardware error message, so now im a fair bit worried/suspicious that there may be a real fault with it and would like to know if this is the case, whether its something I can possibly fix (im no real expert especially with hardware but I can always try downloading and installing updates/fixes and that sort of thing if it'd fix problems).
The main thing which is worrying me most, is that this morning a message suddenly came up on screen, warning me that there had been a video hardware error, yesterday evening, which I clicked on a button I think to load more info. and I took this screen cap of it:-
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/724/errorscreencapcw1.jpg
I thought it may help to show the actual full message rather than just trying and pasting the info., well ok to be honest I didn't notice it let you copy it to clipboard but oh well (oops lol).
I know there's a topic about a similar error but I didn't want to butt in on that discussion as I presume that should be for that persons error to be discussed, mine may be slightly different I don't know... I followed the instructions given in that discussion and checked the device manager and no hardware faults are showing up there, btw it says in the device manager, under display adapters, that its a Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family, im sure all the A200 15I laptops have the same card but I thought I'd just clarify that. Incase that wasn't the right thing to check I also checked under 'sound, video and game controllers' (as the error said it was a video hardware error) where it lists the only one as being 'Realtek High Definition Audio' and I checked the properties there, on both under properties it says that the device is working properly, with no signs of any faults...
The thing is, I had read online somewhere that there is some issue with the graphics or video cards. I'd read that they can be glitchy and sometimes break down after the one year. I'd also asked my dad about this and we checked that it was an Intel graphics card that came with this laptop, which it is, and we reckoned that Intel chips should be as reliable as any other brand really... so I didn't think that there should be a problem, though if there is I have until next September to get it fixed before the warranty expires!
What surprises or kind of worries me though, is that the error message was only presented to me this morning. It dates the error as having occured at 19:53pm... I was using it last night and infact I went to have a shower and I put the laptop screen down before I went to shower at around 7:35pm, I presumed that its ok to just close the lid and it would automatically go into hibernate mode or something similar(?) im wondering if that had something to do with it, as I 7:53pm would have been roughly when I came back and lifted the lid/screen up again to use the laptop again... I can only presume, given the time it quotes, thats what caused the fault?
It does give me the option to 'update driver software' and 'scan for hardware change' within the device manager, should I run both or either of those perhaps? is this a common glitch? should I be worried at all etc...
Any help is much appreciated, if more info. is needed then let me know and ill clarify what I can. Also in terms of whats installed, I have quite a few programs, for graphics I have an old version of Paint Shop Pro which I installed yesterday morning, it seemed to install fine, thats Paint Shop Pro 7 from Jasc, I also have some converter programs (for vid files, 3GP and stuff), AVG Virus scan, Spybot Search & Destory, DBPowerAmp, FTP Commander, Quicktime and Real Player, fairly basic stuff like that, nothing much else just my old pics and vid files I transferred from my old XP laptop to this one, in my documents... I don't have any high powered or complicated games or anything else like that installed. Also at the time the video hardware error message states, all that was running when I had the lid down (or before I put the lid down) would have been Windows Live Messenger (though im pretty sure I signed out before putting the lid down) and an IE window, im pretty sure thats all, I wasn't working on anything else just checking the 'net...
There are some other things I've noticed too that I thought perhaps I should mention(?), one thing I've noticed it doing is the screen going blank and then coming back very quickly, alot. I've already asked about this a day or so ago as by then I realised that it was only doing that before loading the 'Windows needs your permission to continue' window/message, which apparently its supposed to do and is something to do with the computer switching from displaying the normal desktop to the secure desktop, which I sort of understand lol.
So I believe that isn't anything to worry about but I have noticed over the lastday or so, that the screen seems to do this more, going blank then coming back again, even when that permission message doesn't show up.
For instance this morning when I first put it on and went to check my home page, I clicked on a link at the bottom of the page or wherever to load another page within the website and the screen went blank for a moment before coming back a second later with the requested page. Is this normal too? or a Vista related glitch, or is there a possibility there may be a glitch with the monitor? im guessing it may be more of a Vista thing but I thought I'd ask here just incase, I decided not to pay for any extra insurance/extended warranty as I'm very careful with my items and take good care of them and so I'm being careful to try and spot any faults early on while they may be fixable under the basic warranty and what-not...
Another thing I've noticed is that to start with, when I pressed and held the 'FN' button, a range of black and white icons appeared on screen which told me which F button(s) to use to make certain adjustments, it still does that when I try it now but at other times, it doesn't show the icons, no matter how long I hold the 'FN' button down. That doesn't really matter since I can tell from the symbols on the keys on the keyboard which buttons to press but its just inconsistent, is there a reason why sometimes the row of icons on screen will show up when I press and hold the 'FN' button and other times it won't show at all?
Also sometimes if I move the cursor right to the top of the screen, those icons load as they seem to always be located at the very top of the screen but sometimes this is a problem, if im trying to click on something else and one of those icons comes up instead... im sure you can switch this option off somehow but should I be worried that the icons don't always show when I press and hold the right button(?) just trying to be cautious!
I think this post is long enough and I can't think what else I could possibly add to help, so I'll leave this here. I don't mean to seem too paranoid but thought it best to mention this stuff incase anyone recognises these glitches/errors and can recommend a quick way to fix any problems before they may develop into anything worse... many thanks in advance for any help with any of these issues!!
(mods let me know if im wrong to include so many things in one topic, I kind of did this quickly and I apologise if im breaking any rules I don't mean to, if possible please break this into a few different topics or I can do this, though ill be at work frm 2-9pm today so might not be back and able to check here until Thursday morning (October 4th))

Hi Isla
Your message is really, very, very long. I think its too long to read it twice ;)
. Regarding all your issues on this notebook well. it looks like you have installed many 3rd party programs and applications. In such case its not easy to say if such issues are software or hardware related. But I presume its software.
I checked your screenshot pic but I have never seen such error message. But it looks like something wrong with the graphic card driver. The message says something about Live Kernel Event
A kernel's services are requested by other parts of the operating system like graphic card driver for example.
In such case I would recommend updating the graphic driver. According to you message its a Intel GPU. So you could check the Intel page for the compatible graphic chip driver.
Regarding the FN key issue;
The Toshiba FlashCard utility controls the FN key functionality. I have read in this forum that this application does not run smoothly and in some cases it causes some issues. The new update should solve the problems. You should check the Toshiba driver page. The FlashCard Utility is a part of the Toshiba Value added package.
So finally one more hint:
You should always check for the Vista updates on the Microsoft page. This OS is not perfected and Microsoft releases very often patches and fixes
Hope it could helps a little bit.
If necessary just ask for more info :)
Regards

Video Glitches with 10.5.2 & 10.5.1

I've had a number of video glitches with my 2x867 MDD with the OEM GeForce4 MX (32mb) card, an Apple 15" Studio Display on the ADC port and an LG 22" LCD on the DVI port when using 10.5.2. I have not noticed them booting off the Leopard Update DVD. What I see is flashes of mostly white boxes with green or black edges. The flashes are fewer with 10.5.2 than they were with 10.5.1, but they're not gone.
Also, from time-to-time, the LG monitor will be lost at boot-up. Nothing will display on it, System Profiler says there's only the ADC connected monitor, etc. even though the monitor shows that it's connected to the computer.
Anybody else seeing this?

Boys n Girls
I am Currently restoring my Power Book after a significant meltdown.
Thanks for posting I too saw the shearing effect but shrugged it off thinking oh well I'll just reboot!
If you are seeing this Buy a fire wire drive NOW and Back-up.
I suspect the Video update changed a low level feature in the power management routines and this resulted in my Power book cooking itself.
I've got a 12mth old Hitachi 7200 PATA drive in my Power Book after the Apple Drive cooked itself soem tim back and I have now got to back-up and restore my whole system. Luckiliy I have plenty of Big fast firewire drives around so I'm imaging the corrupt drive and going to run the Hitachi tool on it via a WINDOZE Thinkpad. Then a combination of clean install of 10.5.x and a migration assisted restore should do it.
I'm really not very happy though! My Time machine image did not restore and the disk repair did not work. I have a corrupted asl.DB ( the log file for Apple System Logs) and the mac won't boot from its internal drive.
I'll post the resolution here as it happens I'm at hour Disaster + 24 so I'm really cranky!
I suggest If you have a G4 Power Book you resist the temptation to install the video update.

Forum Glitch with copy and paste

So I've discovered a glitch with the forums that I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing...
If you copy anything from the posting window while creating a new discussion or if you paste anything into this window, it causes a message to be displayed saying "are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Your content will not be saved." when you press the Post Message button.
I have a habit of hitting select all and copy when I'm making posts just incase anything goes wrong. If I do that on these forums, I cannot post and loose all of my info.
If I try to paste in a link from the clipboard, the same thing happens.
I thought this is something quite serious that I should bring to everyone's attention.
This happens in both IE 8 and Firefox 3.5.7

Are All PowerBook G4 Display Assemblies swappable?

My PowerBook G4 1.5 Ghz display is cracked and needs to be replaced. I don't want to send it into a shop for the $700+ repair. I would like to attempt replacing my display assembly with a USED display assembly.
Does any one know if i can replace my display assemby with another PowerBook G4 17 such as a 1.0 GHz or the 1.33 or 1.67Ghz?
I plan to buy a brain dead 17" on eBay with a functioning display and swap it out. This is not my main computer and just a hobby project that i plan to give to a friend if I am successfull.

Windows 7 Aero glitching with firefox 29.0.1

Windows 7s aero theme is glitching with firefox only. When I hover over the firefox icon on the taskbar, it doesnt display the firefox windows as the miniatures. if I click on an empty space and THEN hover, it will display the windows available as miniatures. if I click on one of them it flashes for an instant and then minimizes. I cant alt+Tab into any windows that become minimized also. if I click on the firefox icon to select a window it flashes for a split second then goes away and I cant click on anything.
basically the aero functions for firefox arent working. and it only seems to be affecting firefox.
steps taken so far:
system restore to a previous point. this helped for about 5 minutes then it went back to the problem.
closing firefox, restarting it, closing it, restarting computer, opening, closing rinse repeat.
manually selecting the window I need from the task manager and selecting "switch to" works to bring it up but thats the only way ive found to open the windows once theyve been minimized.
also cleared the registry and backed it up but the problem happened before that.
removed/unpinned it from taskbar and repinning it. didnt help.
what else can I try?
specs:
windows 7 x64 ultimate
core i3-2100
24GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB
firefox version: 29.0.1

Firefox has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young, which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it. You can try to disable hardware acceleration to see if that alleviates your problems.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps for Firefox version 29.0 and above:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux. For Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Help! G4 PowerBook "Detect Displays" triggers shut down message

I think I may have damaged my PowerBook by being too lax with a DVI/VGA adaptor when unplugging it from a VGA multimedia projector - I was in a hurry and removed it from the Mac whilst it was halfway through shutting down. (I've gotten away with this before but have since heard it's not a good thing to do, probably even worse if halfway through shut down).
If I choose Detect Displays now, it triggers the "Are you sure you want to shut the computer down?" message.
I also am unable to boot up successfully unless I hold the Option key during the initial black "chime" screen - the PowerBook appears to die with a squeak - both the HDD and SuperDrive lose power. Option-V won't give me a verbose boot unless I flash the PRAM, and then works only once.
(I've reinstalled Tiger 10.8.4, have run Disk Utility and have flashed the PRAM.)
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

First off, I think you got your numbers confused. There is no 10.8.4. There is 10.4.8. But that's immaterial here. You should try to run the hardware test than came with your Powerbook:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86287
It may be you shorted the signal to the videochip, or the power supply.
Resetting the power manager may also work

Be sure when booting off the disk, to disconnect all thrid party peripherals.

Why does this display glitch happen?

i'm using illustrator cs6 on a 2012 mac book pro. this display glitch seems to only happen when i am zoomed in a bit, like at 200% or 300% but it happens ALL THE TIME now and before a month ago it had never happened before. anyone else?

I also have been getting display glitches, but for me happening when I have more than one file open and more often with complex files. When this happens, I can click on the button at the botom of the tools palette to chaneg screen mode, hitting the shortcut (F) 3 times.
In my case I have a new imac and there is no update for the display driver, but you may want to use application >> system profiler >> to find the make of your display card and see if there is an update.
Also check if you have any new or nonstandard plug ins?

Adobe CC client: Display glitch

I recently encountered display glitches in Adobe Creative cloud, which disabled me logging in or using the Application.
I'm running all Win7, Win8.1 and OSx10.10.
Here is an example from win8.1:

Glitch with airport!? so annoying...

Every time I turn on on my laptop with 10.5.2 (Powerbook G4) I get a message saying that none of my preferred networks is available, even though the network that I am always connected to is right there. This means that I have to re-enter my password every time I turn on my computer! I have tried to change some of the location settings and update my "preferred networks list" but it still comes up every time. Otherwise my Airport extreme base station works like a dream with both of our macs running leopard and streams video and other stuff perfectly fast. However it doesn't bring up the "preferred networks" thing on our macBook...I know this is small chips compared to some of the other problems I have read about so far but it is really getting to me!

After some more investigation it seems that this problem is caused by a glitch with keychain as it has pretty much screwed up my other passwords for every other program. Hopefully there will be an update in the near future to sort this thing out.
