Random Black Line in iPhoto Calendar

I have a random black vertical line in the middle of each months page of dates. How do I get rid of it? I came out in print last year and it is visible on the template despite any background choice.
Thanks

What the theme you tried in the other user account the same as in the problem calendar?
If it was and since you didn't get the line when using iPhoto in the other user account it could be a preference file other than iPhoto's causing the problem.  Here's how that can be tested:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop. 
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock.  You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences  folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
Note:  keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working.  If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.

  • Random black lines in different application screens

    My MacBook Pro is displaying random black lines across the screen on various applications. They stay on the screen even if I scroll up and down, but don't go onto background applications or the desktop. Has anyone else had this issue?
    I'd be happy to email a screenshot.

    Uninstalled iTunes completely and found a older firmware for the iPod. Installed it. Then installed the iTunes 7 but did not have the iTunes update the iPod. Worked like a charm! No more black lines.

  • Random black lines

    i did an upgrade to leopard and i've been having some strange screen issues on my 24". there will be random black horizontal lines across the application i'm running, it has happened with most apps and sometimes i'd get all kinds of crazy lines around a dialog box, i donn know how to describe it, but the lines will move with my apps. for example, if i waz browsing the net a couple of hair thin lines would appear in the browswer, if i move the window, the lines will move with it; sometimes if i move the line out of sight off screen, the line(s) will go away temporarily, this also goes true with the lines that appear around dialog boxes.
    i thought it waz an updrade problem so i backed my files onto an external and wiped the the mac clean and did a clean install of leopard to see if that would fix the problem, but sadly the problem persists even after a clean install.
    anyone else having this issue? or is it just a coincidence that my old 24" imac display or gpu is wanting to crap out the same time i try to put leopard on it?
    i've searched for "black lines" and "display issues" but all i get are blue-screen topics, which btw i have not experienced.

    Weird as it sounds, you might wanna try taking out your video card, and blowing the dust off it with a can of compressed air, especially if you have a video card with a fan built into it, and air intakes.
    I had a problem that sounds like this that kept getting worse and worse, until my computer started locking up all the time. Turns out that the problem was entirely due to my video card overheating.
    The problem got much worse under Leopard due to the extra work it requires of the video card. Once I cleaned it, the computer has been running fine.
    Here's my original post with pictures. If your problem looks like the pics I took, you might wanna try cleaning your vid card. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5681200#5681200

  • Black Line under Linked Image

    Hey, I have started another website for my portfolio, consisting of many pages. Anyway, I'm mainly using CSS, but there is a little HTML for the navigation.
    Heres the question: When I linked the top banner image to go to the Home page (index.html), there is a random black line under the image. I gave the image and ID tag in CSS and made sure that border:0;
    Please respond, I desperatly need this for a school project and it will look random if there is a weird line in the middle of the page. Thanks in advance!

    The little black line happens right under the first h4

  • When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

    When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

    What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
    Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
    Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

  • IPad Crashes-Black Lines and makes random restarts

    This barely happens before on my ipad until recently my teacher confiscates my ipad. After this going on, my ipad kept on undergoing multiple crashes and restarts. When I was rotating my screen or opening an app, it shows black lines and restarts by its own.
    I tried system reset and restore but none of it seems to work.

  • Printing to Canon S9000 Issue - Black Lines - Mac

    All,
    Having some issues (assume Driver) with printing from LR 2.3 and CS3 going to Canon S9000. Printing from Preview is fine. However iPhoto shows the same thing. I am getting evenly spaced (about 5mm apart) thin black lines when printing. It is consistent across different papers, including Canon Photo Paper Pro. I called Canon yesterday, and the fact that Preview works fine would seem to indicate something with the driver and Adobe and iPhoto. I'm not talking a microbanding. These are very distinct black lines. I've tried letting the printer manage the color, I've also tried using profile with the printer. I am using the most current BJ driver from the Canon site for the Mac (Leopard) and the printer.
    Images from QImage on my Windows machine are also fine to the printer with I have it hooked up there.. Could use some help in debugging (hopefully without using up all the ink) :-)
    Also getting occasional random "LR unexpected termination" message after printing.. One time happens, another doesn't.. No rhyme or reason I can see.
    Update: Unexpected Termination seems to happen more often when stacking up a few prints in the print queue.
    Jay S.

    Even worse...
    we have three machines updated today and the exact same problem on each of them:
    Indesign CS3, Acrobat 8
    Printing to Distillers Virtual Printer.
    Previously Pages were PDF-ed in the format they had.
    Now they are NOT - they all are on A4. The PDF-Options of Apple mess up the PDF-Options of Indesign. Apples PDF-Options do no longer ignore the pagesize, but overwrite the Indesign-Options.
    This is a MAJOR bug for us, as any output into high-res-PDF for printing doesn't work via export, but via Printing to Distiller. This is a big big sucky thing, which Adobe or Apple will hopefully fix soon.

  • How to fix black horizantal black lines on 2010macbook pro 17' screen?

    Hi everyone!
    I come to the community for help after  looking everywhere on the internet. I've had a problem now with my computer for a while where these strange black lines (always horizontal in nature) appear on my screen. I have two pictures below:
    http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/violentfirebomb/blacklines02_zps5de5cc 51.jpg
    http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/violentfirebomb/blacklines01_zpsfe260c 8d.jpg
    These black lines will appear out of no where and they won't go away unless I select whatever is there and move my mouse. If it's across some font, I can select the font and easily go over the black line and it'll disappear.
    Also, the more permanent things is random drop shadows from open windows won't work or the shadow won't work in places. Sometimes the font below a folder or above an icon on my dock will just be gone, like a chunk of it missing the size of those black lines you see in pictures above.
    Is it something I can fix? Should I take it into the genius bar? My computer is a 17' Macbook Pro from 2010 and I'll be honest, this never happened until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even reinstalled Mountain Lion but the black lines and random text as well as drop shadow disappearances have returned.
    Let me know what everyone thinks!  I'd like to solve this mystery as quickly as I can! Thanks in advance.
    Leslie

    When you have problems with the display, there are usually three possibilities:  The wire connection is faulty, the display is faulty or the GPU is having problems.  All are are hardware issues that cannot be solved by software and generally do not fall into the do it yourself category.
    Ciao.

  • Transfered video's from Casio Exilim appear as black squares in iPhoto 08

    Video's appear as black squares within iPhoto instead of first frame. Nevertheless the black squares still have video logo and duration indication and after double click will open and play in Quicktime. However, this is quite inconvenient if you look for specific videos.
    How to fix this?
    (I used a Casio Exilim compact camera to shoot these videos)

    Chrisjan:
    Are you able to play the videos even though the thumbnail is black? You might try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • What's the line across my calendar?

    At about 11:30 on the daily view I have a red circle at the left margin of the calendar and a black line extending to the right all the way across.  What is this?  How can I get rid of it (or use it)?

    I'm replying to myself.  After I posted this I saw that I was far from the first with the question.  And the answer is so obvious (it represents the current time of day) that I'm a bit embarrassed.

  • Horizontal black lines

    horizontal broken black lines on macbook pro screen that change when scrolling up and down, mainly in Safari. Could this be a Snow Leopard issue?

    I am getting the same thing. However my black lines are showing up in random spots, like the desktop or login window.
    I also have a MacBook Pro 2 GHz Intel Core Duo running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I am also having hard lock freezes. Where in some cases I can still use the mouse and in others nothing works. A majority of times I get the spinning ball. Although it doesn't always show up when the freeze first occurs. I will close the lid and three fourths of the time it will eventually go to sleep and I can wake it back up again. A third of the time when I wake it back up I get a black menu bar (I can no longer see light colored menu bar across the top of the screen; "Safari", "File", "Edit", "View", "History", etc) On these occassions I am able to find the menu to quit or to select in the general area of the "Apple Menu" then it pops up in the light color and I can read the text to select shut down. I have found that logging out and back in corrects the issue.
    I will create a test account tonight to see if the issue goes away and is 'profile' related.
    What are the specs on your machine; Processor Speed, Machine model etc?
    I was leaning towards this being a hardware issue as it is a common issue that was showing up. Apple was covering a logic board replacement for the logic board on that model. Although maybe it is a software issue in our case. Let me know if you find out anything on your end.
    Thanks,
    Jon

  • Black line through dock

    Hey,
    Basically i've just realised that sometimes when im on my computer, theres a thin black line going straight through the dock horizontally..
    It's very thin and doesnt affect me opening any programmes, but its just annoying really..
    I tried taking a screen shot but it didn't show up on the picture..
    An odd one.. hopefully some of you mac geniuses have an idea
    Cheers,

    Its only sometimes though, and doesn't appear to be a monitor fault.. surely if it was a monitor fault it would be random pixels? This seems to be a perfect horizontal line across the lower screen.. Being a student i cant really afford to take my monitor into be serviced incase there's nothing wrong with it..

  • Black lines on my iMac G5

    Hi - I have a problem with my iMac G5 (PPC). There are black lines and dots around most things (see screenshot). I have restarted the computer and turned it off - unplugged it, etc, hoping it would do something but these lines appear over icons, the mouse cursor, the dock and some applications are impossible to use such as iWeb and iPhoto as the lines obstruct 90% of it. Other applications like iTunes and Safari are fine.
    Has anyone had this problem? What can I do to resolve it? Thanks!
    Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

    Thanks - I turned it off last night and kept it off all day and the lines were still there so I reset the PRAM and unfortunately it made it worse. I can hardly see a thing now. The grey screen and blue screen are perfect when I boot up but the second the login box appears it goes weird. When I move the mouse now it leaves black dots/lines where the mouse has been so after a few minutes of moving it around the desktop it's hard to see anything. Not to worry though as I have managed to locate the back-up option in iTunes and am currently backing up my precious music before it totally gives up before I have the chance
