Red Screen

In the last three weeks, at different times, my iMac screen has turned red. A red tint along with red tinted icons and in whatever program I opened. Tonight it turned red while I was paying bills on my bank's web site, the other times I was doing other things off the internet. I ran disk utility to repair permissions and restarted with no change, screen red. Then, i shut it down for about 15 minutes and restarted holding the apple-option keys on keyboard and now I am back to normal operation again. Can someone explain to me what happened? I am using 10.4.4.

Actually the screen turns PINK. I have received no useful help from Apple Support (protection plan) either by phone nor at the local Apple store "Genius bar." Ha! The only thing that gives a temporary fix is holding down the apple-option keys together on start up. This works for about a day then the Pink Screen returns. I wonder if my iMac G4 flat screen is about to fail...................

    I have tried to view videos created in premiere elements 10 and I get the following message: "this file type is not supported, or the required codec is  not installed.  When it opens there is a red screen in the monitor panel with Korean writing which also appears in the place of each clip in the video.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere elements 10, but that did not have any effect on the video.  Do you have any suggestions?  I researched codec, but do not understand them at all.

    In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
    that appears at the top of this forum.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • How do I fix the red screen of death issue?

    iPad Air, 13 mo. old:  working fine yesterday, plugged it in to charge (left it on) and about 8 hrs later I went to use it.  When I opened the case, I had the red screen of death.  No error messages, can't see any of the icons.  just red screen.  I finally got it to turn off using the home and off button.  turning back on goes right to red screen.  Attempted multiple times to restore using iTunes.  Each time it gets stuck in "waiting for iPad to respond"?  Anyone have a fix?

  • How do I fix the red screen on Premiere Pro CC 2014?

    Past few weeks, Premiere Pro has not been playing some of my video files properly. Here are the computer specs.
    Mac Pro (late 2013)
    3.5 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon E5
    32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
    AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
    Recorded on:
    Canon XF 300
    1920x1080
    29.97p
    MXF files
    What is odd is the Premiere file has six different videos apart of a series and only one of the sessions is showing red screens on both the program and source monitor. The other five sessions are fine. The original MXF files run fine, it is only when they are in that certain sequence.
    Another variable is this happens on our other Mac Pro late 2013 but it is completely fine on our older machines (Mac Pro early 2008).
    How can I fix this issue? I know there have been red screen issues in the past, but Adobe was supposed to have fixed that.

    Hello sarzinafromnew york,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help resolve this issue where you only see a red screen on your iPhone, please follow the steps outlined below.
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.

  • Red Screen of Media Offline

    I had problems with my old Macbook Pro processing Premiere Pro, so I bought the new Macbook Pro.  It works great, but I have run into another problem.
    I was working on a new project editing a wedding.  As long as I closed my computer and kept my external drive connected, I could open the computer and continue with my project.  However, the one time that I disconnected the external drive and turned off the computer, I get the red screen saying media is offline.  I can go back and relink one file at a time, but is there a way that they will all get reconnected without having to do each clip individually?  I have almost 200 clips!
    I am using Premeire Pro CC.

  • How do I fix red screen

    Fix red screen of death?

    Hello there, Psansburn.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I just finished a project in Final Cut Pro.  Looks good. BUT when I export it the slugs show as a red screen?

    Final Cut Pro finished project looks good in FC but when I export The slugs appear as a Red screen  any ideas?

    You certainly are new at this. That's cool, we all were new at one point.
    You have a MacBookPro. That means you are using at least Mac OS X 10.5.6. Otherwise FCS 3 would not even install. You also should have QuickTime 7 installed. If you don't, it's in the Additional Installs folder  on the Mac OSX disc that came with your computer.
    OS 2 is an ancient Microsoft/IBN product and doesn't run on a Mac and certainly won't run Final Cut.
    Your camera shoots in AVCHD format. The files are MPEG 4 and should have been transcoded to ProRes LT for use in FCP. Your Sequence settings should also be ProRes LT to match the transcoded footage.
    Your laptop is not a codec.
    Wiki definition:
    A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data stream or signal. word codec is a portmanteau of 'compressor-decompressor' or, more commonly, 'coder-decoder'. A codec (the program) should not be confused with a coding or compression format or standard – a format is a document (the standard), a way of storing data, while a codec is a program (an implementation) which can read or write such files. In practice "codec" is sometimes used loosely to refer to formats, however.
    Don't export using QuickTime Conversion. Export as Self Contained with Current Settings (same as your FCP Sequence, which by now is hopefully ProRes LT. Import that file into iDVD.
    Better yet, learn DVD Studio Pro and Compressor. Both are included in Final Cut Studio and will give you far more control and much better results.
    Whilst your video is encoding, take the time to read the user manuals found in the menu bar under the Help item. They contain a wealth of information and you can amaze the teacher and fellow students with your new found knowledge.

  • Why does Firefox show a red screen briefly on startup?

    Whenever I start Firefox on my laptop, it briefly shows a red screen before heading to my home page. Is this normal for the browser now or should I be looking at my hardware rather than the software?

    That may be related to Firefox switching to hardware acceleration. If the screen buffer that is used isn't empty then you may see older content of it displayed until that screen buffer is cleared.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • I dropped my iPad and now with red screen. Can I change it ?

    I dropped my old ipad and nw he has red screen. can i change it for new one ?

    No, of course not.  You can buy a new one.  You can also do an out-of-warranty exchange for a refurbished iPad and, depending upon the model, it will cost you between $220-300 + tax.

  • C300 footage does not properly import, video playback in Premiere is frozen or just a red screen

    After working with C300 footage for about 6 months now, this is the first time I've encountered this issue, and I haven't done anything differently with this project to my knowledge.
    I am working with some C300 footage (not much, not even a full 32gb card), and when I bring it into Premiere some, but not all, of the clips aren't able to play back. In some cases the video will freeze on a frame while the audio continues playing, in other cases I'll just get a red frame while the audio plays. In all cases, the audio playback is fine, no issues.
    The issue only occurs on longer, interview clips. I haven't had any issues with clips less than about 1-2 minutes in length. When I get the frozen or red screen, it will stay frozen or red for a while, upwards of a minute or a couple minutes, before the video comes back towards the end of the clip. This is pretty inconsistent though, I haven't noticed a pattern.
    It doesn't matter whether the footage is rendered or not, issue remains the same. Nor is it an issue with lagging playback, if I pause the clip when the red screen comes up and wait it never catches up, never unfreezes. I have tried importing the footage multiple ways: dragging into the project from Finder; navigating through Premiere's media browser; going to File>Import. Same issue every time for the same clips.
    If I try to export the clip, same issue. If I try to bring the footage straight from Finder into Media Encoder to output a ProRes422 version, same issue.
    However, if I take the card structure, and copy it back onto a CF card and pop it into my C300, it plays back just fine. No red frames, no freezing, no issues. So it's not a corrupted card and it's not like I lost any data when copying from the card to computer.
    I'm working with Premiere CC 2014 on a 2012 Macbook Pro (2.6ghz i7, 16gb RAM, 2gb VRAM), I've tried using OpenCL, CUDA and software only as the renderer, same issue with everything. I have also tried multiple computers with the same issue.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Sam

    I can answer part of your comment ... PrPro is a beast of a complex and capable program, compared especially to VLC, a simple playback program. VLC takes the data off the drive and just plays it back ... PrPro takes the data from the drive as only a starting point, applies whatever changes have occurred in the timeline for clips & cuts, transitions, video & audio effects, and plays the RESULT of all that back in as close as possible to real-time. Each and every time through is a "new" compilation of data. Unless you specifically render previews for a selection, it's always "showtime" ... live processing of original with all modifications.
    Part of the complexity of the program underlying the work is the built-in system to incorporate changes from AfterEffects, Audition, and SpeedGrade ... also as much in "real time" as possible, and again, without completely re-creating the new sequence as a "physical" file stored on disc somewhere. No other programs out there do that. It makes these more complicated & more complex in the code, and more demanding of system resources in many ways.
    But as they are constantly working to improve the actual operation, far more capable. I'm a one-man operation, and most of the time my stuff flies through the combo of PrPro & Sg, with some Audition work thrown into most projects. Occasional trips to A3. Yes, I get glitches occasionally. No, my projects aren't 30-second but INCREDIBLY complex opening scenes for CNN or ESPN or someone, nor a modern complex commercial shot or a music video. Or ... Heavens ... a 130 minute feature.
    Yet I know of quite a few people who do such work and mostly get through their projects in quite good shape, some of whom help out here regularly. It's a total bummer when YOUR machine is the one glitching. I understand. Right now, mine has pretty much stopped using my GTX770 video card and its 4GB vRAM, more than 29% of CPU, nor more than about 6.5GB of system RAM. Which as you might guess, slows down my playback & renders exponentially. I'll get it handled. But it's been a month or so.
    The vast majority of users are NOT having this problem. Wish I was one of them, as do you. Best of luck getting this moving ...

  • Error message "unsupported image format" over red screen

    Working my way through a project making corrections to a series of jpegs, when the image preview disappears and turns red with the error message "unsupported image format" in small print over the top, the thumbnail is fine and I know the image to be fine. Move on to the next 2-3 images all with the same message and then the App hangs.
    Force quit and relaunch Aperture and the images are ok again.
    I am assuming that the previews are corrupting and causing this. Oh the app has been hanging intermittently throughout he day, I have trashed both the pref's and the App support folder, but still I get the spinning beach ball.
    Any thoughts?
    Tony

    I just noticed a similar problem. But for me it seems to be only for images referenced from my iPhoto library. I have not seen it yet on images imported directly into Aperture. If I click on a folder of images they appear fine at first, but if I just leave it displaying the first image after a few seconds the image disappears and displays the "unsupported image format" message over a red screen. Or it may display a random icon from somewhere in the application. And then the preview images start changing. Sometimes they change to what looks like system or application icons (arrow, the ratings "star", a printer icon, etc.)
