Problems getting worse with on 10.9.1 with screen glitches

Hi everyone,
I seem to be on a slippery slope with my 21.5 inch Late 2009 iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8GB 1067 MHz RAM) after upgrading to Mavericks. I have been on many other of these topic boards and seems like people are experiencing some of my problems, but not all.
It started out after the first day with Mavericks with a few glitches while using PhotoShop. These were little squares that just seemed out of place. It would cause my computer to freeze and I would have to force-restart it. Then it started to glitch on youtube videos, but the sound would continue to play, the mouse was working, but everything else was not functional.
The next day was more of the same, maybe two forse restarts had to be done. At night I was watching a longer video on youtube and it glitched, crashed and I had to forse restart it. This time when the opening screen came up it was completely glitched (not jus the odd fragment) and then it went to the apple screen, I could see the loading icon, but then went to a grey screen and wouldn't go further.
Today was even worse. I got into my computer and it was running fine. I did a disk repair, checked utilities etc, then I decided to see if it would work whilst playing a youtube video and it crashed. I restarted and restarted and restarted and couldn't get back in. I booted it up in safe mode and got in. All graphics seemed to be working great. Then there were vertical lines all up and down the screen (also on the cinema display that I have hooked up), that were not as much noise and they were faultygraphics picked up from below. At this point I made sure everything was saved on my computer and trouble shooted, seeing that some people had had problems with flash player in chrome.
After about 3 hours of backups I tried that solution, only to find that now the interference pattern has become stronger and more pronounced.
I tried to reset the PRAM. Not sure if that did anything. I heard the second start up noise, but it continued as if I had done nothing and crashed at the grey screen.
I am out of options. I heard that the beta 10.9.2 solved this for someone, but I don't have time to wait for the new software to be released as I work on my computer for a living. If anyone could lend me a hand, I would be so grateful. Thanks in advance.

Here's another one.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that it could be. In my own MBP it turned out to be a bad cable. All you can do is try all the various things others have. Type "mbp wifi problems" in the search box and you'll find all kinds of things to try.

The screen on my Macbook goes blank, if I tilt the screen it returns. Problem getting worse.

The screen on my Macbook goes blank, if I tilt the screen it returns. Problem getting worse. Should I take it to the apple store and see if they can replace the screen? is it expensive to replace the backlight/invertor?

This sounds to me like a fairly common Inverter Fault.
It is not the screen that needs replacing by the sounds of it,
It sounds like either the inverter board or the inverter cable needs replacing.
My understanding is that inverter / inverter cable repairs aren't too expensive, but not too cheap!
Obviously your best way to find out how much it would cost to be repaired would be to take it in to an Apple Store, as I have never had to have one replaced myself, but the information I'm providing, is based on what I've read elsewhere.
How old is the MacBook?
Thanks,
Ollie.

IPad 2 light leakage? Does it get worse with time?

My iPad 2 suffers from the leakage.
Question. Will it get worse over time, or WYSIWYG?
Regards

Hello all,
I have the same question but it's for a first gen iPad that I just got replaced due to an issue with the old one that I had. This new iPad is having a light bleeding issue around the edges and it is really bugging me. It runs just fine just having a light bleeding issue. Do I need to worry about it?

Problems getting started with templates

I am just getting started with the dreamweaver 30 day trial.
I am trying to create my first file. When I try to open a new
template file I get the message below-
"Dreamweaver stores templates in the root folder of a site,
but there are no sites defined. Please add a site"
What does this mean? How do I find the templates? I am a
total dreamweaver newbie trying to learn the program.
Thanks

It's not a problem with templates.
You have to create a site for your website - F1 will show you
how to do
that. Once you have a site created, you will be able to
create new template
files, and they can write themselves to the correct part of
the site.

Problems getting started with LabVIEW FPGA

Two (probably) related questions:
1. I am trying to get started with LabVIEW FPGA, and I am having trouble using a host VI to test my FPGA VI. I started with a basic QAM modulator VI, to be run on the FPGA, and I have reached the point where I need to verify the logic and timing with this VI running on the development computer with simulated IO. I have tried various combinations of putting the code inside single-cycle timed loops vs not; putting the modulator block directly into the host VI, and using the "FPGA reference" block. When neither the host VI nor the modulator VI use a single-cycle timed loop, I see correct behavior. In every other case, the output of the VI is either absent or incorrect. I need to use a single-cycle timed loop in the FPGA VI to properly verify timing behavior (as far as I know), so the one functioning case is not enough for me.
I'm sure there is a key step I'm missing or misunderstanding, but I have not been able to figure it out myself yet. I've attached my modulator diagram as well as two different attempts at host VIs. I can share other information, but I'm not sure what is most relevant.
2. I am also trying to test a simple wrapper VI for the Xilinx FFT block, and I am having trouble accessing FIFOs inside the host VI. I thought this would be relatively straightforward, but when I tried to change the "method" on an "invoke method" block, there were no options for accessing FIFOs, as I understood there should be. This is a total roadblock for me. These two diagrams are also attached, the test diagram shows the options available to me for the "invoke method" block.
Labview 2013, PXIe-7965R, PXIe-8133 controller.
I had to combine the diagram images; in case they are hard to follow this way, see the individual images here: http://imgur.com/a/oB6OD .
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello Monguin61
If you are having problems reading from DMA FIFO's you should test them using a very simple code to understand their behavior. First, you could start taking a look to the linked documents:
Reading DMA FIFOs from Host VIs (FPGA Interface)
Using DMA FIFO to Develop High-Speed Data Acquisition Applications for Reconfigurable I/O Devices
FIFO.Read (Invoke Method)
Then you could test and analyze a simple example to understand how it works, for example this one: Simple DMA FIFO Example for FPGA.
Check the references when you are using DMA FIFO's, I noticed you did not connect them in the second picture attached.

Problem get worse soon?

I have a MacBook (2006)! I have the problem that if I push some keys (especially the numbers they don´t appear on my screen?
Question: What´s the problem and will it get worse soon, because now I don´t have money (I still can´t have a bank accont here > waiting for my Visa). In the future I want to buy a MacBook Pro.

This is the third time you have asked this question in two days. I can't say if the problem will get worse, but it probably wont get any better. You'll have to wait until you get access to money in order to get it repaired or to buy a new mac.

Music Player is getting worse with iOS 7 patch

Entire screen gets covered with album covers. No discernible interface. Just scroll through apparently every album. How do I get rid of that?
Album cover art & controls become my default screen art. Didn't ask for that. How do I turn it off?
Player screen went landscape, showed "Ratings" in the upper left corner in red. "Done" in the upper right. List of current playlist that I could scroll through. Neither link worked. Could not return app to expected behavior. Even re-booted. Still came back the same way.
I let it sit for a few minutes, and it seems to have corrected itself.
Apple, this is a buggy mess. Get your act together. Yes, I installed the latest update. Version 7.0.4. Thanks for listening.

Much worse. With all the new settings switched off and all the other old settings how they were on iOS 6, and folliwing my usual useage patterns, my battery dies approx 2 hours quicker with iOS 7. I did a clean install via iTunes too.

How do I get started with screen sharing?

There are dozens of articles on the web and posts here talking about what's new with screen sharing in Lion, but for the life of me I can't find anything that tells somebody completely new to screen sharing how to get started. If I want to do screen sharing with a friend (over the Internet, not a LAN), what exactly do we have to do to get started?
Sorry for a noob question, but everything I see assumes you're already completely familiar with it and just want to see Lion tweaks.

ok so go to your system preferences on your MAC > go to sharing > click the screen sharing option on> next go to the add users section right below on the right and you add your friend whom you want to share with. You have to select a password for this person. When you get this done you will see a
Other users can access your computer's screen at:
and you will have an address there with some numbers. give this to your friend whom you want to see your screen, they have to post this in their web-browser, and that is how you remotely screen share. This is if you all are not on the same network. Also if you want to share his/her screen they will have to do these steps for you.

Performance gets worse with more adjustments

LR 3.5, Win7, 64-bit (both OS & LR - and yes, I made sure it is the 64-bit LR running), 8GB ram
When I start doing adjustments to a photo it's really fast, no problems. But the more adjustments I add (mainly adjustment brush), the slower LR gets, the worse performance gets. It gets so bad that making a change to a slider can take 6+ seconds to see the change!
I'm making slider adjustments, using the adjustment brush a lot, and graduated filter adjustments. I have auto mask turned off, my raw cache is 10GB, the raw file is 16.7MB.
If I switch to a different photo everything is speedy again. Switching back and everything is slow. Closing & reopening LR has no affect, neither does rebooting. I haven't tried creating a new catalog and putting that one photo there but I doubt that would help. I do not have Photoshop or any other memory/cpu intensive programs running. I actually did try to quit everything and that didn't help.
I asked this on the NAPP forums and someone suggested:
- Is it a Raw file or Tiff or Jpeg?
Raw.
- Cache may be corrupt, try to purge the cache.
That did make a difference, but it's still quite slow.
- Delete your history?
I haven't tried this yet mainly because the I'm still making adjustments to the photo in question and I love being able to go back a bunch rather than having to start over again. I plan on doing a bunch of similar adjustments to another photo then deleting the history and seeing if that helps. Still, that's not something I want to be doing WHILE I'm still editing the photo.
- Open the task manager and watch the cpu/memory.
Did this and noticed when I made ANY change on a photo with lots of adjustments, both cpu and memory went up - cpu hit 85-95% doing anything and memory climbed from the 1.8GB it had when it started to 2.8GB. If I go to a new photo cpu stays around 40-50% and memory stays lower, around 2.2-2.4GB. And again, the more adjustments I added, the highter the cpu and memory went.
And it isn't just this photo. I've worked with many photos - both mine and from others - and as I add more and more adjustments (brush, sliders, etc), LR starts slowing down more and more. I also have LR installed on my work computer and my personal computer, both share the same performance issues. It's just when I get a LOT of adjustments made that this happens - mostly adjustment brushes.
Any thoughts? Thanks very much!!

Pic4,
I would think that it's the same problem on Mac. As Lee Jay has explained "Simplistically, it has to redraw all the local adjustments every time you update a slider" these adjustments create o lot of traffic between your hard drive(s) and the memory. So - simplistic - if all the traffic has to go back and forth to the same hard drive, there's congestion. So better, divide the various LR "elements" between different physical hard drives.
Put your catalog on the external eSata - assuming that LR resides on your internal drive - and make your cache very large.
I'd like to put in a word about hard drives: Instead of choosing one (1) huge internal drive it would be better to have at least two, or better three internal drives that can be much smaller. I'd say three drives @ 250 GB give you much better performance than one drive with 1 TB.
With three drives, you'd put LR on drive 1 (C-drive), the LR catalog on drive 2, and the LR cache on drive 3. That way the system does not have to wait for one drive to finish writing before it can be read again (in simplistic terms) but the writing and reading happens simultaneously on three drives. That's the performance gain when you put the catalog, the cache and LR on different drives. It has to be different physical drives, partitions of one drive won't do it.
I would think that it's the same on a PC or on a Mac.

Why is Firefox getting WORSE with each new version? The new version eleven crashes my PC about every 15 minutes! Back to I.E.!

The new version 11 crashes my entire PC causing a total restart about every 15 minutes and I have tried everything to fix this problem with no luck so I have now went back to I.E. aat least it doesnt crash and i can watch Youtube vids without hanging up every 30 seconds!
Each new version of Firefox seems to be WORSE than the one before, crashing my entire system is my biggest issue at this point! Some of the older versions seemed stable so what and why has the developers tptally ruined this browser? I am not the only person with these problems I see forums full of users complaining so why isnt the developers putting out a stable browser?
Firefox needs to GET ON THE BALL and get a stable browser out for all of its lowal users this is totally rediculous! I am VERY PISSED OFF!

Whatever you do, don't get version 12 because it's just as bad as the rest. Not responding, not responding is what I see most of the time. I'm tired of looking at that blue circle spinning.
I thought Firefox is suppose to be tops but I've had more problems with it than I had with IE. It literally takes minutes for some pages to load. Tabs and pages open by themselves from who knows where.
The updates and new versions go from bad to worse. I scan my computer several times a week with MSE, Malwarebytes, Spybot and SuperAntispyware, thinking that it might help and it doesn't.
This is pathetic. Firefox, please get someone in there who knows what the heck they are doing. It seems like instead of bug fixes, someone's putting in some bugs.
No one should have to repeatedly do this:
1. Restart your computer
2. Clear your cookies and cache
3. Update your plugins
4. Restart Firefox in Safe Mode
5. Troubleshoot your plugins
6. Reset your Firefox settings
7. Reinstall Firefox
8. Make a new profile
Other solutions
Check for conflicts with your Internet security software
Scan your system for viruses and spyware
Check your hard drive for errors

Problems getting emails with WRT54GS2

I just replaced my wireless-G router with the WRT54GS2. I was having problems with connection with my previous router (after 3 years). When I connected the new router, I have internet connection working again, but I cannot get Outlook and Outlook Express to work on two computers. Email addresses are different (and different providers), so it's not an email server problem. Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be changed? The error messages are timed out messages.

On the Router setup page try to Reduce the MTU size on your Router to 1350 and check if these solves the Problem.

I'm having a problem getting Google + with my Firefox 5. Is this something I can fix?

I've been trying to join Google+ for several days. I am always redirected to a page saying that there's a problem with my cache or cookie settings. I've followed these fixes but to no avail. I can't get Google + and now I can't log into my LinkedIn account. Thanks for any help you can provide. Can I still use Firefox? do I need to go back to a previous version? I'm on Firefox 5.

I have had this happen as well. What I had to do was sync the iPod to remove the album and the resync the album back to the Classic. I've had this happen with my iPhones as well. Must be a bug in either the current OS or iTunes versions.

Firefox 32.0.3 sucks and it just gets worse with every update .

Firefox 32.0.3 still has a lot of problems to their site.
Here are some that need to be fixed with Firefox 33:
1. The back, forward, refresh and bookmark buttons are shown in the right click page.
2. When skipping through Flash videos, the time bar stops moving and buffering occurs.
Don't even update me to this garbage automatically. I'm fine using Firefox 31.

The back, forward, refresh, and bookmark buttons are currently shown as icons in the right-click context menu.
You can select them with the cursor Down key.
If you prefer text labels then you can install the "Classic Theme Restorer" extension.
You can find the option to get text labels instead of icons in the context menu in the Options/Preferences of the CTR extension in the General UI section.
Replace page context menu icons with labels (back, forward, stop, reload, bookmark page)
Does Firefox 33 use the HTML5 player when you get those issues with buffering or is the Flash player used?
The Flash player should give the Flash context menu when you right-click the player.

Problem getting started with Mapviewer (mv10131_qs)

Newby question,
I followed the readme file and I can get http://localhost:8888 to work but not http://localhost:8888/mapviewer. The result is 404 Hot Found.
I also followed the instruction to load the demo data from from "mvdemo_10131.zip". So I created a mvdemo database with mvdemo user mvdemo passord.
Any idea,
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I did run Start.bat.
I edit it also to point to the Java distribution within Oracle folders to avoid problems with other Java installations:
D:
cd D:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\home
"D:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdk\bin\java" -server -Xmx384M -jar oc4j.jar
I am using FireFox and I have Apache running on that system. Do you know of incompatibility?
Thanks a lot!

Problem getting started with OCCI

Probably a dumb question, but I am having trouble getting the OCCI samples to compile and run with VC6. To try to compile them out of the box, I created a plain Win32 project, added the occi Library and header to my project.
None of the samples would compile, looked at the errors, which suggested I should have defined WIN32COMMON. I did, and everything compiled. Now whenever I get to a point where the code attempts to retrieve something from a ResultSet I get ASSERTIONS in the delete operator (debug mode) or access violations in release mode.
Stumped.
Can anyone give me a clue as to how to get started?
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
I had the same problem but I figured it out what to do to get it work (took me quite a while...)Ok, here are the things you have to do (in VC 6.0):
* project setting / linker / using following libs only (for Release and Debug!):
oci.lib oraocci9.lib msvcrt.lib msvcprt.lib With these settings I got all OCCI samples to work properly (Release and Debug).
Though developing my own stuff, I still had problems in the debug version sometimes (I'm using Win2K). I found out, when ever the "C:\WINNT\system32\msvcp60d.dll" was loaded at program start (see debug window of your VC) I got some more assertions. So I renamed the "msvcp60d.dll" to "msvcp60d.dll.bak" and copied the "msvcp60.dll" to "msvcp60d.dll". And now everythings works fine.
I guess the reasons for these assertions is the occi libs own memory management, which isn't traced correctly by the debug version of
the "msvcp60.dll"
Cheers,
Johannes
