Upgrade to 10.5.8 causes black edges on HDMI TV

My Mac Mini has worked perfectly connected to a Sony Bravia TV through HDMI.
Since upgrading to 10.5.8 however I either loose the edge of the screen (if overscan on) or have to view with a black boarder if not.
All related posts seem to suggest this is the TV's fault but as it worked before it must be atleast related to the Mac. I've tried different resolutions and rebooting with the TV etc. but no luck.

fixed in subsequent osx update - possibly caused by monitor/TV not being on whilst upgrading

EOS 600D - Won't Focus, Black Edges

Hello there, I have a Canon EOS 600D and I've been having issues with normal focus. It is completely out of focus, even if I try to adjust it manually and at normal zoom, on the frame are black edges around the corners. I don't understand what's causing this, I've tried thoroughly cleaning it and everything but nothing seems to fix it. However, if I use a wideangle lens on top of the standard lens, the focus is greatly improved to how I supposed it normally should be but again at normal zoom, the black edges are ruining the image. It would be greatly appreciated if I could get any help! Thank you!

I did do as you suggested, even emailed them just incase the reponse might be different but they instructed me to either send my lens to one of their repair centres or go there myself but the closest one to me is hours away so I won't be able to go all the way there.

Does upgrading OSX 10.6.8 cause PhotoShop 9.0.2 to stop working?

Would upgrading OSX 10.6.8 cause PhotoShop 9.0.2 to stop working?

A Safari upgrade will not affect PS. An OS X upgrade, however, could. See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Satellite U500 - Black edges on external monitor

Hello,
I have problems with HDMI connection to TV.
At FULL HD resolution is in 42" FULL HD TV about 4 cm black edges all around display.
I tried with 3 different HDMI cables, 2 different FULL HD TV and one LCD screen, but everywhere were black edges. Black edges appears when you start computer (at first Toshiba screen and BIOS too).
With same cables and monitors but other laptop is picture without edges.
When I was tryed with HDMI cable (stl.U500) which have got on the other side DVI output (LCD FULL HD screen) was picture without black edges. With normal VGA - VGA cable is FULL HD picture also without edges.
Where could be a problem?
System is Windows 7 64bit with latest ATI display driver and latest BIOS (2.20).
Greetings

Hi Mathew,
Im not a Satellite U500 owner but I assume there must be something wrong with the settings. I never had any problem with the HDMI connection to my external monitor or TV. Its always working fine.
Anyway, what screen resolution you are using on external monitor? You should use the native screen resolution on external monitor. Then you should be able to use fullscreen mode there.

Swapped out CM2320nf Fuser Causes Black Pages. FW: 20140625.

I’m sorry this is so long but I want to avoid unnecessary “Tried that” posts.
My fuser was working fine except the sleeve and pressure roller were worn out and causing wrinkles along the left side of the page and occasionally folded over the page onto itself.
I swapped the fuser out with one from one of my CP2025s that I know work. No wrinkling or folding now but the printer prints out all black pages.
I’ve tried everything including, resetting to factory defaults both from the menu and using the up arrow and cancel buttons down on power up, recalibrating and cleaning. Secondary functions to clean the belt produced a smeary grey page. Color calibration causes black pages plus horizontal lines about a quarter of an inch high of the other 3 colors about an inch apart between the rest of the black page. Scan calibration also gives similar results. I also tried reinstalling the latest firmware dated 20140625. I tried using the Automatic Document Feeder to make a copy of a scanned page, same black page.
I took out the fuser and reinstalled it to make sure I didn’t miss any electrical connections. This time I didn’t waste my time following the instructions in the Service Manual which tell you to remove all covers and the scanner unit. All’s you really have to do is pop off the back door right side stopper bar and remove the 3 screws at the top and lift up to remove back cover panel. The back door then comes off with the cover. Then 2 screws to get the fuser out. Nothing wrong or missing from the first installation so I reinstalled the fuser and still get the same results.
I tried hooking it up to the network and was able to look at and set things up using the web based interface. All are working fine. I did a printer control panel keyboard test twice to make sure all keys are working and none are stuck in the down position. No problems.
Finally I tried to print the test page from the Windows 8.1 64 bit OS Devices and printers page for this printer. Again no text only a black page.
At no time have I gotten any text on any pages printed. Sometimes the black page will come out with a little color. Usually green.
I read the entire User Manual, Technical Reference Manual and Service Manual. The Service Manual has one section stating you can’t replace 2 of the circuit boards at the same time because one contains information about the other so if one is replaced the other will restore its information once the new board is installed. If you try replacing both boards at the same time both boards don’t have the information about the other so neither board gets restored causing major image quality problems.
I did not remove or install any circuit boards. I only removed the straps connecting boards that I was instructed to detach using the instructions in the Service Manual.
I’m at a loss as to how to fix this and don’t know how it could have happened unless one of the circuit boards got damaged during the process. This is real annoying because these boards did not need to be exposed in the first place and were only exposed because of the unnecessary instructions to remove all the panels and covers in the Service Manual.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Paul Mighetto

I want to put an image in my movie so that it will fill in the black edges on the sides. How do I do this?

I have a standard definition video I put into iMovie and set it to "Fit" so that it did not cutoff the top and bottom. Now I have black bars on each side. I am going to create an image, or two if need be, to cover those black edges. I cannot figure out how to insert those image and have it not picture in picture, greenscreen, or cutaway.

HP Laserjet P1505n black edges - ugh

My p1505n is putting nasty black edges on otherwise nicely printed pages. I've followed the support and cleaning routines. The black edges are "smudgeable" and not fixed.
Any tips? Is it the cartridge..?
Any tips gratefully received

Why does my exported video have black edges?

Hi Everyone,
Somehow my video must be changing frame sizes or something to that extent. I have thin black edges on my exported video. I have checked carefully and my output and source settings match to my visual knowledge. Please help.

Mark,
I can show you the player in Premier but I wouldn't know how to export the encoded clip back into Premiere LOL. I'm a total newbie at CS6. And I don't know how to upload a clip, I don't even know how to screen shot it through my notebook. I tried print screen and I get nothing so I am going through my mobile device to upload everything. Thank you guys for your patience and help.

Photos on Apple TV. Portrait with black edges not removable with mirroring or Edit. Any suggestions?

I use Apple TV to show photos to friends. However, if the photo is in Portrait format there are large black sections at each side on the the TV screen. Mirroring or Edit do not remove these black edges even though on the iPad I can change the set up. Any suggestions please?

Mirroring mirrors the 4:3 shape of the new iPad screen - the best output you'll get will be 4:3 filled with black at the sides.
Try standard Airplay instead of mirroring (which is not available on the iPad 1).

Is there a sim in the iPhone?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other

Upgrade to Lion Causes Black Screen On MacBook Pro

I read early discussion posts on this topic and thought by now Apple would have corrected this poblem but apparently not. I updgraded my MacBook Pro last night to Lion and since last evening I have had 5 black screen (failures) and had to power off and reboot. Is there a known correction or update to this problem? It is extremely disappointing as I need my Mac for my business and cannot afford to send it to a depot for a five day repair.
This same problem was happening to me with an older OS but ONLY when I used both PowerPoint and Parallels at the same time. For this probem I took the MacBook into the Genius Bar and had to leave it there through the weekend and all day Monday. They told me after running multiple tests they found no hardware problems and the issue had to be software. The only fix was a five day depot repair. I thought I would manage by not using PowerPoint and Parallels together but now, with the Lion Upgrade it happens with ALL apps and when I simply try to read an email. Very, Very DISAPPOINTING. COME ON APPLE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. PLEASE.

Lion has been causing a lot of problems on older hardware, it killed a 4 year old 15" MBP on me.
Go back to 10.6, the stability of your business comes first.

Ios5 upgrade causes black/blank screen on my iPhone 4

I upgraded my iPhone 4 with ios5. Everything seemed to go fine. I clicked on the weather and Safari opened up. Suddenly my screen faded away and now it's just a black (very dimly backlit) screen. iTunes sees my iPhone. Restore didn't help. Is there any way to save my phone? I live in Taiwan, so there is no Genius Bar option.

The Restore in iTunes will delete all the data and return it to factory settings. Then when you get a new iPhone, you can Restore from the Back Up you made with iTunes. So your plan is OK.

Upgrade to 10.4.7 causes severe display flicker

I am running a 15-inch MacBook Pro connected to a 23" cinema HD display.
Since the upgrade to 10.4.7, the laptop screen starts to severely flicker after approximately 3-5 minute, rendering it unusable. Moving a window around (even on the 23") will cause large amounts of flickering; the windows on the laptop screen are duplicated for a split second, and then stabilize until the next display refresh takes place.
The problem disappears after sleeping and waking up the machine, only to resurface after another 3-5 minutes.
Re-installing the 10.4.6 backup fixed the issue. The problem came back after re-upgrading to 10.4.7, and went away again after downgrading to 10.4.6 again.
Is this a 10.4.7 issue, or should I have my machine repaired?
MacBook Pro 15-inch Mac OS X (10.4.6) 15" MBP 2.0 GHz w/ 2GB, X1600 with 256 MB

Same problem at my end since i got the MacBook Pro 15/2.16Ghz. On connecting an external display the main screen flickers after 3-5 mins, goes purple (similar to the pics someone posted earlier) and then goes black. Sometimes it comes back for a few mins but eventually both displays freeze - the internal one goes black and teh external one retains whatever picture was on it but no mouse/kbd control is active. I opened a case with Apple 3 days ago and have been troubleshooting it with them. My next step is to revert to 10.4.6 and see if the problem ges away. An interesting twist to this is that my boss has an identical (arrived the same day) Macbook Pro running with an identical external display attached and does NOT have this problem. The difference between our instals is that i run some additional apps such as Ms Office & AdiumX.

Upgrade to linux3.1.4 causes no boot(Solved?)

While troubleshooting the failures of my raid0 bootable Compact Flash devices, I proceeded to perform the following setup.
I first upgraded my system in the raid0 kernel 2.6.39.3-1 with a download via pacman -Syu. Total packages downloaded was 317. Linux kernel 3.1.4 was not accepted for download. All packages were successfully downloaded and installed( rm/etc/profile.d/xxxx.sh was removed). The device was recognized in /etc/proc/mdstat as /dev/md0.
Therefore all items concerned with the latest packages were installed. This without the new kernel 3.1.4. I upgraded mirrorlist which was included in the packages. I then rebooted into my raid0 system successfully. I then upgraded to linux 3.1.4 kernel with pacman.
I then rebooted but failed to boot with the error : unable to find /dev/md0...no major-minor number on device by uuidxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Thus, it seems obvious there is a problem in the linux-3.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg .tar.xz which affects the blkid, using UUID, since previous failures encountered with this kernel indicate that the uuid changed in linux kernels to accept the uuid of the booting device in this case, the boot device is the first device (0) of the two devices(0,1). There are also indications that the /dev/md0 becomes dev md127.
Any guidance to the solution of this discrepancy would be welcomed.

The problem occurs with many users.
My postings in the following arch post may give you a solution. My views are expressed therein and may not be valid(however, I have had messed up downloads with bad mirrors, despite what has been reported in that post)
Anyhow, there have been successful uses of my approach, even though it may seem off base.
I did the complete list of steps to correct my system. It is possible the mirror download did not include initramfs. My approach was to " cover the bases" in proper pacman order not having left out pertinent possibilities and has helped others to correct their problem.
I suggest you read the whole post , decide what might be useable including the recommend from falconindy. He can well be right but why does it hit more than one user?
Good luck and let us know how it goes...............
EDIT: The same problem occurred when I upgraded to the latest Kernel. I performed the same procedure I recommended and now have the latest kernel in 3 pairs of CF raid0 cards. They run faster than normal by 50% in hdparm -t. I attribute this to the raid0 mode striping.
It is not apparent to me what order of install or what speed of performance is applicable to pacman when downloading the core items in archlinux. Perhaps a delay(ugh) is needed for initramfs to properly install.
All of pacman is a black art but most definitely needs to be run according to hoyle but system changes such as initramfs need to be compatible with pacman if that is the problem with upgrades(as suggested by falconindy) .
I expect the next kernel upgrade to cause the same failure based on past experience with linux kernels.
