Small vertical lines when connecting macbook to a Samsung 37" LCD via HDMI

Hi
Just connected my macbook to a Samsung 37" LCD thru the HDMI port. Works a treat bar one issue...on non-moving images, colours which aren't whites or blacks, namely brighter colours, there appear small vertical lines. These seem to appear around the areas where there is a substantial difference between 2 colours (example the outline of a face against a lighter or darker background).
Tried all the obvious things such as calibration, different resolutions etc but cant get rid of them...they dont seem to be there with moving images though and certainly not on mainly white displays such a the Google homepage for example............Any thoughts?
Much obliged

i have a samsung 52 inch tv and i have hooked up the vga connector to my pc input on my tv and went to pc input on the screen. all i keep getting when i start is the background but no icons or anything and i cant move the mouse on the tv. if i try to mirror the windows in the display i get a message that says mode not supported on the tv. any ideas. i don't have an external mouse to try

Flicker when connecting Macbook Pro to LG 20in LCD

Hi all
When I connect my Macbook Pro to my LG 20in LCD (L204WT) I get a flicker on the LCD panel. I've tried the following which all work (i.e. no flicker on the external panel):
* connecting the LG to my Powerbook G4
* connecting the MBP to a Viewsonic 20in monitor
* connecting the MBP to the LG via VGA (d-sub) - although the display seems to be less sharp than I'm used to
I've used 2 sets of DVI cables, but to no avail. It's only the LG-DVI-MBP combination that does not work.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a mini dvi to hdmi, then a hdmi to hdmi monster cable to my TV, but when i connect i can only see in the tv the screensaver on my computer; no video or applications or menu is shown in the LG, just the screensaver i have. Nothings happening when i play a movie in my computer.
I selected and tryied all of my tv's hdmi ports and is the same.
What can i do?
Thanks.

First, mini-DVI adapters are used in MBP's that predate the ones covered in this forum. Nevertheless, there could be any number of issues, the most important of which is you need to go to System Preferences>Displays, and make certain you've set up dual displays in Arrangements.
Also, remember, in your MBP sound is not transferred through the mini-DVI port. You need to set up sound via a digital TOSlink cable from the MBP to your entertainment system.
Finally, some iTunes movies have DRM restrictions that will block the video from going to your TV.

[LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw] only vertical lines when scanning, scanner broken?

Hi all! I have a problem with the scanner in my HP all in one. If I scan (using the printer function or apples ImageCapture: same result) the output is just a lot of vertical stripes (in colors when in color mode). Not a trace of the image I try to scan. The lines are there even if i scan an empty white page. I see the stripes both when doing a preview scan and an actual scan. The problems are very similar regardless of if I use the flatbed or the feeder scanner (they are separate scanner hardware, yes?). I have updated to the latest software for the printer/scanner and I am connecting over bonjour via wireless. I am on Os X 10.9.1. Anybody having similar problems or is my scanner just plain broken? Thanks in advance!Jon

, , I understand that both of you are seeing vertical lines when scanning from your Laserjet M276nw. First, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Now, so I know where to begin I'd need to know the following:If you are seeing the vertical lines when you copy as well as scan?Are you seeing the vertical lines when you copy from the flatbed? The document feeder? both?If you are seeing the lines from both the flatbed and the feeder are they in the same place?Once I know this I'll be better able to assist you.

Re: Not getting audio from TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all correct cables.

How do I get audio from the TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all the correct cables?

Hi Lynn,
If you're positive you have the correct cables, and positive they work, they must be plugged into an input on the TV made for that purpose, then that input must be selected on the TV's menu.

I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges.

I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges. There are no lines when copying, faxing or scanning, only printing. I have cleaned the glass, scanner and even dusted where the toner cartride slides in. Any suggestions?

Sorry but I have worked on laser printers for over 20 years and never encountered your issue. That is of course if you are explaining it correctly. When you make a copy to be printed or print a reports page from the printer or send a print job to the printer, if in all these cases you get the line, then yes the issue is either the toner cartridge or the fuser. If you make a copy to be printed and it prints without the line (Put original in adf, press copy button and print should come out), then you have one weird unit since it does not make sense since the print formatter on the unit whether making a copy or printing from the computer or unit itself uses the same hardware. Now to test if the printed copy has a line then just put a sheet of paper on top of the feed tray and do a self test from the printer. When the back edge of the paper enters the printer, quickly open the toner door to stop the printing. Remove the toner cartridge and look at the image below. If the defect is present the toner cartridge is the issue and if the image below does not have the defect, then the fuser needs to be replaced. Best I can do. Good Luck.

MacBook connecting with VGA to Samsung 40" LCD TV -- picture is offset

I just plugged my MacBook into a Samsung 40" LCD TV with a VGA cable and a mini-DVI/VGA adapter. The picture looks crisp and great on the TV at 1360x768, except for one major problem -- on the TV, the whole screen is shifted to the right by maybe 200 pixels, so that there's a black bar on the left and the rightmost stuff (like the spotlight icon and the time) gets cut off.
This happens with mirroring on and off, and the laptop screen displays normally.
Anyone encounter this before and know how to fix it? If not, might switching to a DVI-to-HDMI connection work better?

Does your TV have an auto adjust menu option, like regular LCD monitors? If not have you tried turning the TV off and then back on while the MacBook is connected? Under your System Prefs, does it detect and list the Samsung LCD? Have you tried clicking the "Detect Displays" button while everything is hooked up?
PS I run DVI out on my Mac Mini to my Samsung DLP TV. DVI seems to be a sharper picture than the few times I used the VGA input.

What cables are best when connecting apple tv, my HD tv has 2 HDMI slots but they are both in use, one for Sky and one for cinema. There are no hdmi slots spare on the cinema either ...

Mine has four Seriously shauntana the splitter is easy, a simple click to changre feed and eventually you will damage the HDMI port or cable by taking it in and out. True you can only use one feed at a time nut you can only use one port on the telly at one time too. I used it on my old one port telly for PS3 and Sky and it worked a treat.

How can I remove vertical lines when printing from Aperture 3.2.2 to Epson Stylus Photo RX690?

I have been generally quite happy with my access to and use of Aperture 3.2.2 (recently purchased) for import and manipulation of photos and movies, etc.I am using Aperture on a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8.
However I have been unable to print high quality images on Epson premium glossy, glossy or matt paper on my Epson Stylus Photo RX690.
High quality prints on screen show perfectly in preview, but all prints come out with good and accurate colours, but a series of vertical lines or bands of lines across the photo print.
Using the Aperture Manual I have checked my settings in Aperture for the printer, for colour and quality of paper etc and they all seem to be correct.
The Epson Printer is networked with a Toshiba (Vista) laptop which prints perfect results from Picasa and Photoshop with fine colour and no markings.
I would appreciate any help please.
Cam Opie

Thank you Mark
I thought I had done all the settings .....but no.
I now have perfect prints. Easy when you know how!!!
Cheers

Single Vertical Line When Using ADF for Scan or Copy on HP Officejet Pro 8600

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium Printer (CN577A)
OS: MS 7 64 bit
When using the ADF for my CN577A HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer, I get a single vertical line on the document that is produced. This occurs when copying or scanning, both in black and white, and in color. If I scan or copy using the glass, I don't get the vertical line.
I already tried the troubleshooting. I unplugged the printer, left it without power for several minutes; that didn't correct the problem. Next, I cleaned the rollers and the glass; I still get the vertical line, but only when using the ADF.
My firmware version used is current (CLP1CN1150CR).
What should I check next?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The ADF uses its own glass area on the scanner bed, it is the narrow (about 1" wide) strip on the left. Cleaning this area should resolve the issue. A single small spot would cause the issue you are seeing.

How can I fix my display that had vertical lines when I open/close the lid?

Just a few minutes ago, as I was adjusting the Macbook's lid, I got a huge vertical line showing on my display. The line goes away after I fiddled with the lid a little. Now, every time I open/close the lid, the lines sometimes pop in and out, always in the same area.
I'm scared the wires connecting to the Macbook's display is loose or something. What can I fix it?
Here's a picture of how it looks like: http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/7683/picture4gj.png

Sounds like the LVDS cable might have come loose somewhere or is faulty, would not say it's the LCD just yet. If it's under warranty just take it to any apple store or local service provider. If it's out of warranty I would not suggest taking to an Apple Store because they will just quote you the whole display, but an Apple Service Provider might be able or wiling to attempt to just repair the faulty part in the display(just know your model display does not come apart easily) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434 , good luck

Flash video contains vertical lines when published

Hi, apologies if posted before, search didn't show much and
google seems a little thin on the grounds.
my problem arises from a CS3 .fla containing a default
flvplayback object to an .f4v.
This is connected to an h264 encoded video (.f4v). When I
preview/publish the video I get vertical lines spread through the
video (about 10 - 15 spread evenly). However when I play the video
using flvplayer or in flowplayer the vertical lines aren't present.
Would much appreciate any ideas as to why this is happening.
Thanks,
Paul

Unfortunately, I can't watch your video since I just have dial up. I am wondering if you could show it to the guys at the Apple Store.
Even better, can you make it happen consistently with a quicktime video? If so, that would be the time to show it to them. They have to see the problem in order to do anything about it. Sometimes electronic problems are intermittent, so they don't always show up for a test. For example, if the computer has been off and is cold, it might not show up a problem that normally occurs when it has been on all day. You may not have noticed any particular heat, but the computer will be hotter if it's been on all day. The problem could well be heat related--or be more likely to occur with intensive processor use.
Be aware that your replacement logic board also has the NVIDIA chip, and it's possible that your new chip is also defective.
Good luck!
