The App Switcher of Mac OS X Lion doesn't display properly after waking up from sleep

Hey guys,
I have a MacBook Pro15 inch Core2Duo 2.66GHz running Mac OS X 10.7.2.
When my Mac woke up from sleep, sometime the Application Switcher doesn't show the iconc properly like this.
Other time, it shows the dark icon.
The color profile setting seems to be messed up. But it only affects certain apps.
Some of my affected apps are
Application Switcher
like attached image
Icons got darker
TweetDeckThe app becomes darker overall
Gaicho Software's XRGThe supposed-to-be orange indicater became red
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks in advanced!

Yes, change your display / colour profile to a different (or the default) profile. Has worked for myself, and many others on other forums.
Hope that helps...
D.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why does my Mac screen suddenly go dark? Sometimes it stays dark for an indefinite period after waking up from sleep.

    Why does my Mac screen suddenly go dark? Sometimes it stays dark for an indefinite period after waking up from sleep. I have to open and shut the monitor screen to get it to light up again.

    Might try posting in the MacBook Pro laptop forum. This is the Mac Pro desktop forum.

  • IMac OSX Lion 10.7.4 loses Wifi after waking up from sleep

    So basically just like my title states, when my computer wakes up from sleep about 70% of the time the internet will not work. My mac does see and connect to my network, but something isn't being sent as I have no connection when trying to surf the web. I then reset my modem and router, and it still doesn't work. What fixes my problem is a reboot or Logging out and back in. I don't know why that does the trick but it does. I have looked at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1501, however this update is only for 10.7.3. Is there something I can do to fix this problem?
    As a side note, if I have Parallels Desktop running my iMac's wifi after sleep will not work, but it will work in the Windows 7 parallel. Why is this?

  • Windows is forgetting shortcuts designated for keyboard layout switching after waking up from sleep

    I have a configuration of Ctrl+1,2,3,4,5 shortcuts for switching keyboard layouts on Windows 8.1. Once I boot up my laptop they work just fine and the layouts shortcuts setup window looks like this if I open it:However now when I close my laptop, putting it into sleep mode, and then open it again, the keyboard shortcuts stop working and if I open the aforementioned setup window, it also looks as if I have none configured: To get my shortcuts back after sleep mode I have either to reboot the laptop, or assign the shortcuts again manually. This is a problem I've experienced before on this same machine (Lenovo Yoga 13) with Windows 8 (before the 8.1 update) and I guess at that time it dissapeared after some editing of the list of layouts I use.
    But now I've added some layouts to the list, and then removed some of them and so on and here is what I get again.Maybe there is some branch of Windows Registry involved with the layouts and keyboard-shortcuts messed up and I could simply remove the registry branch and start with a clean slate?  

    I have never seen this Windows before, I unfortunately do not understand Russian.

  • I can't be the only one with this issue. MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013 WiFi disconnects after waking up from sleep.

    Did anyone buy a MacBook Pro Retina 13" from Best Buy this Black Friday?
    I'm having an issue where the WiFi disconnects after the MacBook wakes from sleep but only after a couple of minutes.
    Once the WiFi disconnects, I can't reconnect to the same network and sometimes it won't find nearby networks.
    I have to turn off the WiFi and wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on for it to auto-reconnect to my home network.
    If I wait less than 5 seconds, it will continue to attempt connection to the home network but won't connect.
    I've tried reformatting and deleting my network configurations as well as resetting my modem, power cycling it, etc.
    I am using 2Wire Gateway modem/router from AT&T on b/g network.
    I've tried connecting to a friend's network under Time Warner Cable and the same issue occurs.
    I exchanged the MacBook at a Best Buy for a brand unopened one (I hope) and the same exact thing happens with this new one.
    Really, I can't be the only one with this issue. Unless in a 0.00001% chance I received two defective units in a row?
    Please.. does anyone have a clue why this is happening?

    You're definitely not the only one.  I have the same issue.  I spent 6 hours over multiple days on the phone with Apple support trying a variety of things (some of which are mentioned above), and none of them worked.  They finally sent me a replacement laptop.  I made sure to try it periodicaly as I was moving files and installing applications to see if I ran into it again and things seemed okay at first but now I am running into the same issue and it is terribly annoying.  I've got 5 other devices that connect to the same router and I've never had this issue with any of them.
    My router is a Linksys E2000.  I haven't tried changing the router channel but I have tried to cnnecting to other networks in the building I live in and I have run into the same issue there.

  • Slight crackle coming out of the speakers after waking up from sleep?

    anyone else had this happen to them? I just hear a short, quiet crackling noise coming out of my speakers after waking up. My MBP 17 is great otherwise. Its not really even a big deal, just wondering. Thanks

    I've been encountering this problem recently with my left speaker when waking my laptop from sleep. It doesn't happen all the time though - almost seems like it happens when it's hot and humid out, like today, even though my A/C is on. I've seen one or two more threads about this topic but with no real help other than "I wouldn't worry about it". Does anyone else have any ideas? It's not a life-or-death ordeal, but still, I know the speaker shouldn't make this noise.

  • HT201177 My Macbook pro: After sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then blacks out.  When I close the lid and reopen it the same thing happens.  The screen only does this after waking up from sleeping.  Help, thanks!

    Macbook Pro:
    When I raise the lid after sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then backs out.  If I close the lid and raise it again, the same thing happens.  It is sometimes necessary to force quit.  Once restarted, there is no problem unless the lid is closed for a short time and the machinge goes to sleep.

  • The mouse pointer gets frozen for a few seconds after waking up from sleep mode

    I have just noticed this recently and I have updated all my software but it is annoying to have to wait like 20 secs before it responds.

    Me too.  If I press the esc key, the pointer completely disappears from the screen and then reappears 20-30 seconds or more later.  Very aggravating.

  • New hard drive installed on my 2009 mac book. Can I reinstall pages, numbers, etc... from the App Store? I was running Lion.

    New hard drive installed on my 2009 mac book. Can I reinstall pages, numbers, etc... from the App Store? I was running Lion.

    HI Corey ...
    Yes. Make sure you use the same Apple ID.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    If you can't re dowload the apps, launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer. Sign out of the iTunes store and try re downloading your apps from the App Store again.

  • What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.

    What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.

    You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
    and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
    OS X - Support
    Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
    turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
    the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
    use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
    run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

  • Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

    I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

    Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.

  • Why Do the App Switcher and Dock Hide Running Apps?

    I've come to realize—to my great annoyance—that the behavior of the command-tab app switcher has changed.
    If I have an app launched that has no documents currently open, the app doesn't appear in the app switcher or the dock. The only way I can see it's open is by looking at DragThing, my third-party launcher. Since I return to Pages and Preview throughout the day, opening and closing documents as I need them, this is really an inconvenience for me.
    Does anyone know of a way to disable this behavior and have both command-tab and the dock show all running apps the way it always did before Mavericks?

    Because my dock's already too full with apps that are even more frequently used. Using the app switcher became part of my workflow long ago, and I'm sorry to lose it.
