Strange grid patterns on monitor...help!

My old iMac just developed some strange grid lines on every icon, over the dock, and attached to the mouse. Everything appears to work fine, but, all of these areas are covered by tiny grids of black rectangles. Each of the rectangles is made up of 6 vertical dashes...
I've tried restarting, powering down for a time, and repairing permissions.

I have a similar problem but can now only boot in safe mode.
Model Name: iMac G5
Model Identifier: PowerMac8,1
OSX Version 10.5.8
I ran Disk Warrior and hardware checked out fine, the file & folders check identified a problem with a Plist file com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist which could not be repaired
AFTER RUNNING DISK WARRIOR:

Red eye correction generating strange grid pattern in viewer

Hi everyone,
For the last week Aperture 3.5.1 has been adding a strange grid with a repeating pattern in my images when I edit them in the viewer. Here is a screenshot:
The strange pattern is near the top right and appears to be of my son's eye. The pattern appears in multiple images and always seems to be one of the eyes of the subject! It occurs when I use the red eye correction.
If I toggle off certain adjustments, not just the red-eye adjustment, the pattern goes away. However, once I turn on certain adjustments the pattern returns or moves to another part of the screen! If I do turn off red eye correction the grid goes away.
So let me summarize here:
If I use red eye correction and I use ANY other adjustments then I will get the strange eye grid.
It appears if I don't use the red eye correction the eye grid does not appear.
I have tried repairing permissions, repairing the library, rebuilding the database, and reinstalling Aperture. I've also tried moving the library to another mac and I can replicate the issue on that mac as well, however, not as often? I also downloaded memtest and ran it on my mac and it said all my ram is fine. I have also tried shortening my library and I can duplicate the issue in a small library with few pictures.
I'd really like to use the red eye correction without the strange grid! When I export the images the grid does not appear.
I am using a Mac Pro mid 2010 with 14 gig of memory. The second machine I tried is a macbook pro laptop using 8 gig. I'm really at a loss here. Please help! Thanks again

Sounds like you have done everything but delete your user preferences. This often resolves UI issues.
Details are on Apple's Aperture trouble-shooting page.
You might also flush your NVRAM.

Strange Grid Pattern when Using Smart Filter

I added a smart filter to my image in Photoshop CS5 and performed a Highlights and Shadows adjustment, and there's now a faint diamond-shaped grid pattern over the entire image. This shows through all adjustment layers but disappears when I turn off the adjustment layer.
This occurs on both of my two monitors, and it happens at every scale that I view the image at, including 100% actual pixels.
I'm using a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz, with 10GB RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card. Running the latest Mac OS X, 10.6.3 and the latest Photoshop, CS% 12.0 x64.
Any clues?

Ok thx, got the file and tested it.
First of all: Yes, I see the pattern, so it is obviously independent from both Hardware and operating system, I tested on Windows 7 / CS5X.
I can approve what c.pfaffenbichler found. Obviously we were wrong with our yesterdays findings that the transparency is not transparent. Instead, it is. It is barely visible, but testing it myself it seems to be "real" transparency, but at a very very low level, 1% max. I put a solid color behind that Smartobject.If you turn that layer visible, the grid disappears. To make sure that it realy is the bottom layer that shines through and not some kind of weird "new bug fixing other bug" thing, I put 2 layers behind the Smartobject, one pure black, one pure white. As you should expect, the image turns slightly (!) darker if you turn the black layer visible compared to the "only white layer visible" status.
So obviously shadow/highlights really seems to affect the transparency of smartobjects. Sometimes. Sweet. Will this be fixed?

Can Grid control 11g monitor Oracle 9i database

Can Grid control 11g monitor Oracle 9i database? This is on Linux5.7
Thanks for the help
s.

Yes but Enterprise Manager 11.1 Grid Control requires the 11.1 Agent.
Then go to the Targets tab, then Databases. It should self-discover the 9i database.

I recently had a kernel panic in which I think my hard drive only had so much space left after I ran a bunch of drivers I thought I needed. I uninstalled all and moved files. For some odd reason I'm not getting sound of of my hdtv/monitor.HELP? I uninstalled all the drives and apps I download. I moived files either to trash if not needed, and others to other external drives. I went into disk utility and did a repair disk permission and verify disk. Clean out junk files. Now my hdtv/monitor does not give me any sound, nor does my mac mini. Can someone please tell me what to do?

F4 help in ALV grid using existing search help

Hi All,
It would be appreciable , if some help on problem. Thanks in advance.
How to provide user defined F4 help in ALV grid using existing search help?
ALV grid has developed using OOPS concept.
Thanks,
Sudhakar.

Hi,
if you already developed using OO concept, it should be possible to:
create a handler for event ONF4
The interface will tell you actual field name and value where F4 is pressed. This will enable you to call your own routine (see FM F4-IF....).
Please check how the standard handles F4 - if you have standard and customer-F4 mixed you shouldtake care that the standard handling is triggered.

Clemens

Strange behaviour of 2nd monitor full screen image

Hi,
Since last night, my LR5 is starting to behave very strangely with my 2nd monitor image. My 2nd monitor has been set to "Show, Full Screen and Loupe-Normal", and I have always been using this two monitor set up to show my image in full screen mode (since LR4) without problems. But since last night, the 2nd monitor image starts to minimize itself randomly. If I click the 2nd monitor icon (on the bottom left of main screen) it comes back. Then when I moven to the next photo, it may disappear (minimize) again. It is very frustrating. I never changed any of my settings. Is there anything that I missed? What makes the 2nd monitor image go away? Anybody experienced the same phenomenom?
Thanks in advance.

Noisy grid pattern on shots when viewed in Aperture (not in Lightroom)

Hi Folks - any ideas on this one?
I took a whole bunch of pics last night on my Canon D60.
Set to 400ASA using a 28-200 lens
Check out the results when I uploaded to Aperture....
http://www.flickr.com/photos/87604910@N00/396035178/
... see the fine spaced grid?
And then when I loaded into Adobe Lightroom
http://www.flickr.com/photos/87604910@N00/396033649/
... no grid pattern
All the images I took when viewed on aperture have that noisy grid pattern. The pattern disappears temporarily when I resize the viewing window on the screen.
Any advice much appreciated

The Flicker image is a JPEG. If you can post the original RAW file, we can try it on our systems...as Thomas requested.
Are there any adjustments made to the image or anything special done? Is the RAW Fine Tuning set to default? Also, does this occur with any other RAW images aside from that one camera?
thx

Fit the ALV grid to the monitor size

Hi all,
Please let me know how i can fit the ALV grid to the monitor size of the user. That is The grids should be layered and expanded to the full width of the users monitor.
Thanks in advance
Jey Sabith Ebron

Hi Jey,
You can fit ALV grid to monitor size by defining the container as docking container.
In this case, you neednot create a custom container .
You can use the following code:
CONSTANTS: lc_height TYPE i VALUE 1200.
DATA: go_container       TYPE REF TO cl_gui_docking_container,
      go_alv_tree        TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_tree.
    CREATE OBJECT go_container
      EXPORTING
        repid                       = sy-repid
        dynnr                       = sy-dynnr
        side                        = 2                        " Top
        extension                   = lc_height
        metric                      = 1                        " Pixel

        lifetime_error              = 4
        lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
        OTHERS                      = 6.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE x398(00) WITH 'ERROR'(100).
    ENDIF.
CREATE OBJECT go_alv_tree
    EXPORTING
      parent                      = go_container
      node_selection_mode         = cl_gui_column_tree=>node_sel_mode_single
      item_selection              = c_x

      lifetime_error              = 4
      illegal_node_selection_mode = 5
      failed                      = 6
      illegal_column_name         = 7.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE x398(00) WITH 'ERROR'.
ENDIF.
Code above is for ALV tree.
You can define any ALV grid object using docking container.
This will solve your problem.
Let me know if you face any issues.
Thanks,

Strange behavior in apps/monitor refreshing after theme installation

Good times of the day everyone!
I'm very new to archlinux and ArchLinux community (as you can see, this is my 1st post here).
I use dwm and was playing around with themes.
I found a GTK Theme - Moka which really suited my taste and installed it.
But for some reason, after the installation, applications started showing stuff strangely (or maybe monitor refreshing is going strange, i don't really have an idea of what's happening).
-Change in behavior of applications
---Midori:
------ Every time i switch between tags, strange big black box appears on the page. To get rid of it I have to scroll down-n-back the page;switch back-n-forth between workspaces; select all and deselect all in the page; click to adress bar.
------ When Opening links/sites|Refreshing the pages - big black box shows up and goes away/sometimes doesn't go away.
---Pidgin:
------ Every time I receive a new message, the text turns into a box of strange mix of colors
Here are the pictures:
Would appreciate it if anybody would help me to solve this problem.

Update:
I've noticed one more strange thing, in Midori if I have only one tab opened, no black box appears.
EDIT:
Never mind.. I guess it was the error in theme itself.

Configure Grid Contorl to monitor Microsoft Exchange

Hello everyone.
I am having some problems configuring GC to monitor our Exchange environment and was hoping to get some help here.
I am running GC 10.2.0.4. I installed the GC agents on the Exchange nodes.
When I try and configure the portion for "Microsoft Exchange", I get to the screen where I put in the HOST NAME, HOST username and HOST password.
I select the correct servername, but every time I try and set the credentials, it comes back in valid.
I have tried using Domain Admin accounts as well as creating a new local account on the server and dropping it into the local admins group.
For some reason, I cannot get it past that screen.
Anybody run into this? If so, how did you fix it?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello,
I finally found the response : Grid control 11g cannot monitor Exchange Server 2007 or 2010 because they don't support WMI. The plugin uses WMI to connect to Exchange Server.
Oracle have to create a new plugin based on PowerShell.
Thanks Dominik.

Strange artefacts on 2nd monitor in kdm and while logging in

Hello there,
since about 2 weeks during a upgrade I've got strange artefacts like it's shown in the attachet image when starting kdm and during login.
I have have got nvidia geforce 8600 gt with 2 monitors (17 & 22") configured as twinview and use latest stable kde 4.2.2.
I have not looked excatly which package was updated when this problem appears but can it have sth to do with the updated xorg server 1.6? For anny suggestions I would be galde how I can solve this problem or what the problem excat is... because this looks really ugly.
Thanks for your help!

I have the same problem. The most strange thing is that when I logged to another installation where I'm using slim for login and when I come back to main installation with kdm, I saw scratched slim background. I think that is some problem with graphic card buffor or something like that because when I turn off the computer and turn on I don't see slim background when I'm logging using KDM. Unfortunetly I saw another artefacts
I have only one monitor and I have nvidia gf 8800gt.

Strange screen pattern + computer not responding

Hi!
I have lately experienced a strange pattern on my MacBook Pro (2,1) screen.
The computer also stops responding when this happends.
Does anybody recognize it?
Any ideas on what to do about it?
Best regards
iMagnus

With the risk of only me reading this...
I can only come to one conclusion after some testing and that is that the corrupted screen above occurs due to a battery problem.
After removing the battery I have had no problems with the screen.
I would be very curious to know how this can occur. Anybody got any ideas?
Regards
Magnus

Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008) lags since I connected a 2nd monitor - HELP!!

Hey guys,
I just bought a 2nd monitor and i have lags every 5 seconds which
last about half a second (feels like 10 or less fps during the lag).
It happens with all kinds of applications. It gets worse with multiple
applications openend at a time. The crazy thing is that it only occurs
when i start to use both monitors at the same time. When i e.g. use
Logic 9.1 and use one monitor everything runs nice and smoothely
but as soon as i move the window slowly to the 2nd monitor i can
see the window lagging while I'm moving it. This is really annoying
because it seems not every input from the mouse/keyboard gets
into the system and its not a smooth workflow at all.
I switched the monitors connections but it didn't help.
Mac Pro (Early 2008) 2.8Ghz 8-core
Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.2 )
6GB RAM (2x2gb kingston, and the usual 2x1gb)
ATI 2600XT and 3 HDD.
1 Monitor 24" LG W2452T running at 1920 x 1200
1 Monitor 22" Samsung Syncmaster 2243BW running at 1680 x 1050
I really hope that you guys can help me out with this one.
What could be the problem? The ATI 2600XT should definately
be able to handle two screens at once with such little graphics
in logic 9 ?!
I want to run Logic 9 and an analyzer software (Spectre from AudiofileEngineering)
at the same time but its not possible with the LAG.
The problem/lags also occur when i sync the monitors.
Would a 2nd graphics card be a solution? But as I said
before its not a graphics demanding application.
Is it a hardware or software problem?
Summary:
- The whole System lags (not just one monitor) when
I start to use both monitors (having application windows on both).
I've got minor lags when using only one display and leave the
2nd one with the desktop wallpaper clean.
I tried:
-using only the 2x1 GB RAM which came with the mac pro
-using only the 2x2 GB Kingston RAM
Thank you in advance for your help guys!
Rick

Hey all,
I wasn't able to fix this yet.
I did everything I can think of. I even tried to wire
one monitor with a VGA cable but it didn't help.
I even have small lags when I am moving the Safari window
between the 2 monitors. Really little lags then but they
definitely are noticeable. I can make a video of that
if that would help someone understanding.
Hope there is someone out there who can help me with this.
Thanks already for any advice!
Cheers,
Rick
Edit: Do you think a new graphics card like the ATI 4870 would
help it? But I really don't want to spend more money just to
have 2 monitors while i have already 2 dvi connections on the
ati 2600XT.

IPhone locked to a stranger's icloud account- please help I am not a thief

I had bought iPhone 5 from AT&T the day it was released. After using it for a year and half, I decided to gift it to my dad. I completely wiped the phone to it's factory settings and shipped it to my dad. After my dad received the phone, he took it to a local store to get a new screen protector and a case. After he returned back home, he tried to use the phone but surprisingly the phone was in a lost mode with a message showing it is currently linked to an Apple ID d…[email protected]. Initially he thought the apple id that was showing on the phone belonged to me and asked me to remove it from the device. However, the problem was the apple id didn’t belong to me. I tried to contact the the email address and the phone number that was showing on the screen but they turned out to be bogus. My dad went back to the store but the owner of the store denied doing anything like that. I did some research on Google and came across this discussion where a person is also having the exact same “locked to a stranger’s apple id” issue. At this point, I am not sure if it was the store owner who locked my device or it is a bug in the iCloud system of which Apple is not aware of? I called Apple Support but the rep was kind of rude and just dismissed the case. Then I went to the Apple store with the proof of purchase and the original box but was turned back to Apple Support. The second rep whom I spoke with was professional and sounded helpful but it has been a week and haven't heard back from him yet.
I guess Apple is finding difficulty trying to decide who the true owner of the phone is? Me who have the proof of purchase or the stranger who has provided bogus email address and phone number? Looks like Apple is not willing to help me at all. Is filing a case at small claim court the only option left for me?

I respect your opinion but I don’t agree with it. In the real world, you don't have to involve the police if you simply loose your keys or if it gets stolen. There is nothing a police can do because the car is never stolen and is just sitting at the mall's parking lot all the time. Remember, only the keys were stolen. In my phone's case, the phone was never stolen however I do agree that it was in a vulnerable position when I did the factory reset and removed my icloud account from it. If a device is in such a position then anybody who has the physical access to the device can lock the device with their icloud account. And this is exactly what happend to my phone and this is exactly what I have been trying to explain to Apple Support. I understand they cannot just trust me and unlock the phone for me, but I expect them to tell me what's the next step for me to take. What document or proof do they need from me to show that I am the true owner? I can try and get the police involved even though the device is never stolen, but I first need to know which city police should I get involved- is it the Dallas Police, my home town police or the stranger’s home town police? The email address and the phone number shown on the locked screen are totally bogus and they don’t exist at all. I don’t even know where this stranger lives. Apple Support is simply ignoring me presuming that I am the thief and not trying to resolve the issue at all.
