Super-strange problem with display - EFI BIOS missing or corrupted?

OK, so here's the breakdown.
When I insert Windows CD/DVD - screen lights up, installation goes, no problems.
When I insert OS X Install CD - no picture, no go. It "installs in the background without providing any picture to my LCD screen". Zapping, resetting, taking out battery, nothing works. I have three Mac Edition VGA's, all exhibit the same problems so this is absolutely not a VGA problem.
For example, out of pure misery, I tried installing iAtkos v7. It works. Of course, this has a classic DOS/ISO compatible booting procedure that doesn't require Mac CD/DVD format.
Please help, run out of ideas.

OK, so, wrong group but... don't kill me
We're talking about a early-2008 Mac Pro, two quad-core Xeons at 3.0, 16GB memory, three different VGA's tried (they're not inside at the same time - I bought two more so I can test and check if it's VGA that's the problem, so, only one inside at the time) - 7300GT, and two GT120's. No other hardware inside, nothing connected, no network connection at this time.
All three VGA's work happily when I put the Win 7 install DVD (Ultimate 64-bit, but I tried with Vista and XP as well and it boots and everything is ok), but as soon as I put Snow Leopard Retail DVD inside (or the original DVD that came with it) - the screen remains blank while computer powers up and never reaches the "gray screen" status. None of the keyboard combinations (Option key, D key, C key, X key - while starting up the computer) - managed to do a thing about it.
It just seems to me that my previous OS X installation that used to work (the one that was up there when I bought it brand new) - installed some firmware update that screwed up something on the motherboard. That's why I'm saying that it seems as though EFI BIOS on the motherboard is corrupted or something.
Is there some way to re-flash the bios of this motherboard via bootable cd and/or from Windows? I tried that firmware restore CD, but as it never reaches the grey screen, I can't tell what's going on so - no help on that part.
Any help would be hugely welcome.

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.
If anyone could lend some light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

T500 - Strange Problem With Display

Hi,
I've received my T500 after a HDD replacement, and a fresh Win XP. A really strange thing happens sometimes (not every time), either when I plug in the AC, or when I try to shut down the display through fn+f3, the display starts jumping horizontally, either the whole image, or parts of the screen, jump to the right and then back. What seems to stop it, is if I change the resolution momentarily.
Any ideas if this is a hardware problem, or a driver problem, and how I might be able to fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

does this machine have switchable graphics card?

Strange problem with display

Hello,
I have a 1 year old intel imac 24" 2.4 ghz (brushed metal) running the newest OS 10.5.5 3 ghz ram. up until 2 weeks ago this machine ran perfect with not one kernal panic. In september I was away fr 1 month, during this time the computer was off. i came back from vacation and booted up and a number of new updates were available for the os, security, java, quicktime, itunes etc. what seemed to be a few days after installing these updates i got a strange pattern on the screen. here are links to what it looks like:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/computerproblems/2971381655/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/computerproblems/2971381649/
please note teh desktop image is the colored bubbles.
when moving any finder window or folder around i could basically erase the strange pattern by wiping over it. in the course of about 2 weeks this strange pattern (looks a bit different each time) has occurred about 5-6 times. It has occurred during normal use, right after start up, and upon shutting down -in other words at all times. A few minute after the 3rd time it happened the computer had a kernal panic and i had to force restart. that was a few days ago, then today i had another kernal panic and force restart. I have saved the logs of both kernal panics if anyone wants to see them. i must stress i have not installed any new hardware, or connected any new devices to the computer since this problem started, apart from all the apple updates.
I have repaired permissions before and after, it still happens. my computer is totally up to date. I have booted off the installer disc and run disk utilities and it says the volume appears to be fine.
I have the 3 year apple care warranty, am i entitled to any hardware testing discs? I didn't get any with the computer. FInally, this may be the most important question of all, I am using time machine with an external firewire HD and it is backed up until an our ago. If anything serious goes wrong with my computer will i be able to restore a repaired or new computer to the exact state it's in now with TM? I can't afford to lose any work.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Paul

SUPER strange problem with an old account - passow...

Ok so here's the story - I created a Skype account years ago - when it all started - must have been 2005-2006 even and I have used it since. I have installed the windows on my PC and Laptop about 2 years ago and the Skype was set to autologin.
Now I have reinstalled Windows on my laptop and when I needed to login to Skype I couldn't remember my password. When trying to recover it, I found out that my main email address had another Skype account attached to it ( seems I made this one years ago ) - this one I am using to write this message. Now I do also have other 2 email account I occasionally use but it seems that neither of them are registered to skype.
The crazy thing is I am still logged in on my home PC with the account I need the password to. Also on my iPhone. I suspect it has something to do with the rule of having both letters and numbers - and I have NO IDEA what I could have used ( my usual passwords don't have numbers in ).
Now comes the fun part - I just found out that from inside the Skype software you can see under Account - what email address is registered to that account. So I logged in home and when entered the Account section - it says : You do not have a registered email address. - so how the hell am I suppose to reset my password if there isn't any email to send the reset code to ?? When tried to enter a new email adreess I am being asked for my password of course
So bottom line is, I can login on my iPhone ( autologin ) and on my home PC ( autologin ) - but I have NO WAY IN HELL to reset my password because there is NO EMAIL ATTACHED TO IT. How can this be possible ?? I suppose it has something to do that my account was originally created in the old times, when skype had different settings/options. I tried to find if there are any password recovery options - but nothing worked. I can of course prove I am the owner of the account
My account name in question is : cornholio4ya - WHAT CAN I DO ? I am desperate.

abybody ??

Helloo! I have super big problem with my Air.

Helloo! I have super big problem with my Air,10.8.5 ,it asks every 10 sec to make some changes and asks me for password all the time!! I cant acces my documesnt,pics,music,NOTHING at all! Finder is not working,i cant open any folder,icons are missing also,i cant open any of them,mozzila,chrome..im really going crazy.. i updated tonight my phone on new IOS 7 through my comp,cant be that i messed up everything because of that..this comp.is like 10 days old.
btw. i created new user,and everything is working ok.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

Strange problem with WD component build

Hi all,
I have strange problem with building one wd component, which is part of SC. I'm getting few errors which stops me from building component (and transporting to other systems via CMS of course). I'm providing sample of the errors (3 types) and ant error:

Hi Ivan
I have faced this problem earlier BUT ultimately I have to create the DC from scratch.
But you can check these things:
1.Have you copy/pasted Dictionary type from other location (check the path of the dictionary types ) --> If yes then deleted that and create again(do not use copy/paste)
2.This also happens if your "Used DC" has some problems in the JDI --> Remove the used DC and add it again.
3.Make sure the NWDI infastructure is perfect- this may be a cause.
4. Check Context mappings --> delete all mappings > save metadata > Create again.
5. Delete the model and recreate it again.
6.If you have done reimporting model make sure to restart J2EE instance.
Hope this solves the problem - if not please post
Regards

Strange Problem with a Vector wraped inside a Hashtable

Hi all ,
I'm having a strange problem with a Vector wraped within a Hashtable inherited Class.
My goal is to keep the order of the elements of the Hashtable so what I did was to extend Hashtable and wrap a Vector Inside of it.
Here is what it looks like :
package somepackage.util;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Vector;
public class OrderedHashTable extends Hashtable {
    private Vector index;
    /** Creates a new instance of OrderedHashTable */
    public OrderedHashTable() {
        this.index = new Vector();
//adds a key pair value to the HashTable and adds the key at the end of the index Vector
   public synchronized Object put(Object key,Object value){
       index.addElement(key);
       Object obj = super.put(key,value);
       System.out.println("inside OrderedHashTable Put method index size = " + index.size());
       return obj;
public synchronized Object remove(Object key){
       int indx = index.indexOf(key);
       index.removeElementAt(indx);
       Object obj = super.remove(key);
       return obj;
public synchronized Enumeration getOrderedEnumeration(){
       return index.elements();
public synchronized Object getByIndex(int indexValue){
       Object obj1 = index.elementAt(indexValue);
       Object obj2 = super.get(obj1);
       return obj2;
   public synchronized int indexOf(Object key){
    return index.indexOf(key);
    public synchronized int getIndexSize() {
        return index.size();
    }Everything seemed to work fine util I tried to add objects using a "for" loop such as this one :
private synchronized void testOrderedHashTable(){
        OrderedHashTable test = new OrderedHashTable();
        for (int i = 1 ; i<15; i++){
             System.out.println("adding Object No " + i);
             String s = new String("string number = "+i);
             test.put(new Integer(i),s);
             System.out.println("-----------------------------------");
        //try to list the objects
        Enumeration e = test.getOrderedEnumeration();
        while (e.hasMoreElements()){
            Integer intObj = (Integer) e.nextElement();
            System.out.println("nextObject Number = "+ intObj);
    }Here is the console output :

You can notice that the output seems correct until the insertion of object 9.
At this point the vector size should be 9 and the output says it is 10 elements long ...
In the final check you can notice the 9 was inserted twice ...
I think the problem has something to do with the automatic resizing of the vector but I'm not really sure. Mybe the resizing is done in a separate thread and the new insertion occurs before the vector is resized ... this is my best guess ...
I also tested this in a pure J2SE evironment and I don't have the same strange behavior
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong or how I could avoid this problem ?
Thanks a lot !
Cheers Alex

Am i doing anything wrong?Uhm, yes. Read the API doc for addElement() and for addAll()

Strange problem with color measure in Mac.

Hello, I am having a strange problem with color measure in Mac. For example i create a gradient in Photoshop from color 200 200 200 to color 240 240 240. When i measure the color of the gradient with the color measure tool of Photoshop or with the built in OS X color measure tool the measured color is from 200 199 197 to 240 240 238. I have measured the same gradient with Photoshop for PC and the values are OK (the same values that i create).
I dont know what is the problem, but i belive that the colors that i create would be the same that i measure after creating them, and also the same values between Mac and PC. I will appreciate it a lot any help or information that you could give me that helps me to understand what is happening here.
Thank you for your time
Marcelo.

Yep you got it, proof as monitor basicaly strips out any profiling and just delivers it straight.
is there any way to make the OS X color measure tool to measure the original color values
You mean the document colors - No, like I said photoshop is filtering your image through document profile, proof setup and monitor profile. Why do you want to use Digital color meter anyway for this?
i dont understand what is the point to measure color values that will change every time a calibrate my monitor.
Because color values are 'bigger' than whats on your monitor. Your monitor (via photoshop) is only doing the best it can to display those values - which can be anything from LAB colors outside the gamut of your monitor - to CMYK colors. Calibrating it is the only way to allow your monitor to do this in any way accurately. (not ever really possible) Monitors have a certain gamut and are only dispays/representations of the REAL colors that a document, with a profile, holds. So there's only one good reason to measure monitor values, and that's to generate a monitor profile.

Strange Problem with P67A-GD65

Hi just got this board along with a 2500k and 8gb corsair xms3. Im getting a strange problem with the board as it when its supposed to be rebooting it just shuts down.
Ive flashed it to the latest 1.6 bios before anything just to be safe which went ok, it boots and i select boot from dvd, i get to the part where windows 7 install wants to reboots and it just shuts down, then when i power up it starts win7 install and says there was an error and i must restart installation
Any ideas?
Ive tried clearing the cmos, removed power leads and cmos battery for a good while, even reflashed the bios to no avail so far

By the way, 1.7 bios is not available for download on european site, only us.
I just saw it at the Global MSI site.

Strange problem with motherboard H67MA-E45(B3) =( please help

Hi, I have a strange problem with my motherboard . I have a H67MA-E45 (B3) (MSI-7678) , when i try to update it ( http://www.pcbrain.it/images/stories/msi/H67MA-E45/bios/14.JPG ) , i choose the fourth option "Select one file to update bios" , but the bios did not recognize the update file (E7678IMS.1C0) into the Usb flash drive , but if i choose the second option (select one file to boot) the file is recognized. First I made a backup of the bios, and into the USB flash drive has been created a file called "E7678ICX.162" (my current update). Why the extension is IXC ?!? it should have been IMS ! . I tried changing the file extension "E7678IMS.1C0" (the new update) into "E7678ICX.1C0" and when i select the fourth option , the file is recognized! . Obviously I have not started the update , but if I proceed with the update, changed the name of the extension, is it safe? Or do damage?..please help me :(
P.S. Sorry for my bad bad and very poor english , i'm italian =)

Still think there is a batch conflict or possibly a bad stick in the new sticks. Might test each new stick individually for a bad one. Again, the other solution for an 8BG kit may be the new Kingston HyperX PnP's. Could you post a screenshot of CPUID's CPU-Z Memory & SPD Tab for one of the new sticks?
Added: Actually, screenshots of the old sticks Memory & SPD Tab may be of help too. It may be tRAS or tRFC differences between the two kits. Just speculation at this point though.
All the batchs works perfectly...this is the screen http://imageshack.us/f/163/ramkk.jpg/ ...save and zoom
EDIT: The old stick are SLOT #1 and SLOT #2 ...the new 3 and 4

Strange problem with JOptionPane.showInputDialog

I have a strange problem with JOptionPane.showInputDialog in that when I run a program anything that is typed in is displayed backwards, for example: I type this character > and this < is what is displayed.
I've uninstalled the sdk and reinstalled it twice but that hasn't solved my problem and the java plug-in in the control panel is displaying the same symptoms.
I did a search before posting this but all I got really was posts from people who wanted to reverse their text.
Thanks for your help on this.

Is it just the < and > characters?

Strange problem with Dreamweaver Pop-Up menus

Hello:
I have encountered a very strange problem with DreamWeaver
pop-up menus, and I was wondering if I could get some help from
this forum, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
The problem involves use of DreamWeaver's pop-up menu
behavior — all works as expected, and my local preview of the
Web page/site works fine, but when I upload the site to a server, I
see extra question mark and "box" characters added to my drop-down
menus. This problem is inconsistent between browsers: Sometimes I
see it only on IE, sometimes I also see it on Firefox.
For example, check out the following URLs:
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/cci/
... this implementation of drop-down menus ("Services"
button, etc.) displays an extra "box" character for each of the
drop-down menu items, but this only occurs in IE -- Firefox is
fine.
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/microtek/HTML/MicroTek_home.html
... this implementation of drop-down menus shows an extra
question mark above the triggering link onMouseOver for Firefox,
and in IE, it shows this "box" character for both the triggering
buttons and for each menu item.
For both of these sites, the pop-up menus work without a
problem *when I'm looking at a local version on my workstation*.
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here????
Any help for this problem is appreciated.
Note that I stripped out the JavaScript code for menu
information from the <head></head> area of each of
these pages and placed it in a linked JavaScript document.
HELP!

First, you need to read this, written by the person who
adapted that menu
code for Macromedia -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Then you need to know that there are MUCH better ways to do
such things -
Check the uberlink and MacFly tutorials at PVII -

and the Navbar tutorial/articles at Thierry's place

Strange Problem With Extra Spaces

Hello,
My development staff is experiencing a very strange problem with our JSP pages which display the values from a JDBC result set. We have two environments here: development and production. We have been creating pages in development which work out fine in our development environment. But when we move the page into production, each value which results from the ResultSet getString() method is having multiple blank spaces appended to the end of the value. So, for example, a 5 digit zip code field is really showing up with a length of 8 or 9 because there are extra spaces added to the end of the value.
We are able to work around this problem by using the trim() method, but this is getting quite tedious to do to every single page in the site. It is very annoying because the problem does not exist in the development environment.
So you figure there must be a difference in our development and production environments. But there really isn't. Here is the details for both environments:
OS: Windows NT 4.0
Web Server: Apache with Tomcat setup as a plugin
Database: Sybase ASA 6.0.3
JDK: 1.3
Apache and Tomcat were installed from the same download on both servers. Sybase was installed from the same CD on both servers - and the JDBC Driver (SybDriver) was copied from one server to the next.
Sorry for the long explanation - but does anyone have any idea what could be occurring? Why are the extra spaces being appended to the production pages and not the development pages?
As always, thanks in advance for any suggestions!
-- Chris

Hello Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to analyze this case.
The data in the system comes from two different sources. The first source is a nightly feed from a legacy system. The second source is user input via the JSP application. The records that were inserted from the nightly feed have an accurate length() value (meaning there is no untrimmed spaces trailing along.) But the values coming in from the application have extra spaces appended to them. In the development environment, however, both sources provide properly trimmed data.
If I enter an 8 character last name into the web form in the production app, the value which ends up in the database upon submission will have 2 to 3 extra spaces. I know that this sounds strange - and believe me, it is boggling everyone here. I suspect this problem has to do with the Tomcat installation - even though it was installed identically in each server.
I think we are just going to have live with using the trim() for every database submission. As always, thank you for the help, and all ideas are always welcome.
