Video display errors with multi-user

Macbook Pro  or Mavericks bug
10.9.3, MacBook Pro (Late 2010), MacBookPro6,2 
When using the multi-user switching, the background image is distorted.
To recreate:
Establish user "B" with a background image on screen.  I have three Spaces with three different images.  All users logged out.
Login as user "A"
Login to user "B" using the Menubar to select the other user without logging out of user "A"
Note bar on right-hand side of screen and distorted colors.
User A has one of the Apple background photographs
User B has personal photographs from 8 MP camera
If user B is logged in from the Login Window then all is OK.  Display issue only shows up when logging in from other user via fast user switching (or whatever that is called).  If user B logs out and logs in again from the Login Window all is OK.

Can you post screenshots of the distortion, someone may recognize it.
What you describe sounds like one user as something running that doesn't work well with FUS (I think it's still called 'fast user switching' ).
You can disable all login items by holding alt as you click the login button. See if that has any effect. If it does you know you need to look at the users login items (in System Preferences > Users & groups). In not sure if the 'alt trick' works inside the fast user switching menu, so you may want to verify the flaw exists when going to the login window, then reboot & try the 'alt trick' with the same steps.
The other thing to try is using a background image that has been resaved via Preview's export (or another app). It's possible the file itself is a reason for the issue, do standard backgrounds do the same?

  • Subscription cannot be used with multi-user device...

    I just received an email message stating "Subscription cannot be used with multi-user devices" and "Here's a quick reminder that Skype's subscriptions are for individual use only and cannot be used with multi-user devices such as PBXs"
    I'm not sure why i received it, I am the only user and I only call out via my Iphone wifi and, occasionally, my PC.
    Could anyone please explain this to me?
    Thanks - Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Basically as long as you don't make subscription calls from more than one device at the same time there shouldn't be an issue.
    I'll look into this messaging as it seems to be bit misleading.
    Could you check your email, I sent you an email asking bit more information around this notification.

  • How does Essbase deals with multi-users

    How does Essbase deals with multi-users connecting for reading and writing in the same time? How the global coherence of the database is controlled when users are updating dimension and data all together?

    For reading, Essbase handles multiple requests concurrently. For metadata (outline) only one user at a time can make and save changes.For data, Essbase uses a block level locking mechanism, which implies that an update to a block can only be done by a single update request, but other blocks in the database are still updateable by other users.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade---------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

  • Error d124 Multi user calendar

    Hello,
    we moved all of our users from one PO to another, both GW2012SP2. When the users now open their multi user calendar they get the error "d124".
    When i open the multi-user list in a users mailbox there are entries from the old po an the new po. I tried to remove the old entries by click the Name, click Remove User, click OK to save. When i re-open the list, the removed users dont appear. Now i closed the Client, start it again and all of the removed users are shown up again in the multi-user list...
    Does anyone have an idea how to remove the user in the multi-user list permamently? Or have any GW Check options to solve this?
    kind regards
    Benjamin

    Moving in every sense of the term always leaves some loose ends like
    this. This is why as much as possible we like to move POs and not the
    users if we can avoid it. Basically some of the connectsions betweek
    users broke because a bunch of them are still looking at the old PO, so
    we need to work through those connections and fix them.

    In looking this up I found I had a user in my list that was no longer in
    the system and I had the same behaviour in trying to deal with it. I
    realized that this was only the users I have proxied into, so I went into
    my proxy list, removed the offending user, and after a restart the
    problem went away. So how many of these do you need to deal with?
    Before we look at the specialized GWchecks, make sure you are running a
    regular set of them and checking the resulting outputs for any errors
    that might point you to parts of the cleanup.

    Running through the TopDown rebuild (TID 3347260 at
    https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3347260) and selecting the
    Rebuild Indexes after doing the other parts at those levels may help.
    Afterwards an Analyze/Fix of Structure & Index would be useful, checking
    the results to see if it reports problems. If there are such problems,
    rerun again to see that they are gone.

  • Strange Display Errors with certain Applications (ATI X1600) [SOLVED]

    Hi everyone!
    I have been using Arch now for a year or so and am very happy with it, but now there is a problem I unfortunately can't solve by my own.
    Since a month or so certain applications (like emacs, feh or gimp, if i try to manipulate the drawing surface) cause very strange display errors. When I try to take a screenshot, they can't be seen, so i made to photographs
    Image 1 (one instance of emacs under awesome-wm): http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/5186 … 112158.jpg
    Image 2 (two instances of emacs under awesome-wm): http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/822/im … 112158.jpg
    I already tried another display manager (musca) but there the same applications cause the same type of error.
    Maybe the version 6.14.0-1 of xf86-video-ati broke my system, but I don't know.
    Has anyone had similar problems or probably a solution?
    Thanks in advance

  • Z4: Word and OneDrive don't work with Multi-User

    Hi,We are sharing the Z4 tablet among 4 in my family. For this I'm using the Android multiple users.The pre-installed MS Word worked for the main user or owner perfectly. Then I tried to install it for the second and third and fourth user. In all cases after starting Word for these users the message came up "download of additional content required". When clicking on "download" the app crashes. Then recently an update of Word was delivered via Google Play. Now the same happens for the main user. Deinstalling for all four users and reinstalling from Google Play didn't solve the issue.For MS OneDrive the issue is: it works for the main user. For the other users the Playstore gives the error message: "another user on this devices installed an incompatible version of OneDrive. Deinstall this first". Deinstalling and reinstalling didn't helped that issue either. Only one of the four users can use OneDrive. Any ideas on how to solve this? I do have the BKB50 and Word was my main reason to go for that combination with the Z4.Regards,Zampano

    Microsoft Office for Android email support replied only with a standardized email. Beside of pointing to some FAQ it just offers to call the support hotline. I'll have to wait for the office hours then. In the meantime: has anyone tried using Word in a Multi-User setup on the Z4? Maybe it's just an issue here at me...Thx and Best Regards Zampano

  • Video Display Problems with Flex Builder 2

    I am currently trying out the Flex Builder 30-day trial and
    have been having problems running the software.
    System info:
    FB 2.0.1
    Dell Latittude D820 running WinXP
    NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M Video Card
    When I first installed it, my display turned to garbage and I
    had to reboot my machine to get it to a usable state. Someone
    suggested changing my display properties and see if it helped. When
    I tried 768X1024 with 8-bit color it worked. Once I installed it, I
    changed them back to 1920X1200 32-bit. Everything seemed to work
    fine until I started getting into some more complicated tutorials.
    My display crashed and looked similar to what I saw before. I
    updated to the latest NVIDIA driver from Dell. No help. I then
    tried the Windows Troubleshooting. When I turned my hardware
    acceleration to None, it started working again. There are some
    weird display issues with menu buttons and I can't launch my Nvdia
    software.
    Is there a better solution to this? Has anyone had this
    problem? I'm not so sure I'll purchase the software with this many
    problems.
    Thanks,
    Wendi

    Boys n Girls
    I am Currently restoring my Power Book after a significant meltdown.
    Thanks for posting I too saw the shearing effect but shrugged it off thinking oh well I'll just reboot!
    If you are seeing this Buy a fire wire drive NOW and Back-up.
    I suspect the Video update changed a low level feature in the power management routines and this resulted in my Power book cooking itself.
    I've got a 12mth old Hitachi 7200 PATA drive in my Power Book after the Apple Drive cooked itself soem tim back and I have now got to back-up and restore my whole system. Luckiliy I have plenty of Big fast firewire drives around so I'm imaging the corrupt drive and going to run the Hitachi tool on it via a WINDOZE Thinkpad. Then a combination of clean install of 10.5.x and a migration assisted restore should do it.
    I'm really not very happy though! My Time machine image did not restore and the disk repair did not work. I have a corrupted asl.DB ( the log file for Apple System Logs) and the mac won't boot from its internal drive.
    I'll post the resolution here as it happens I'm at hour Disaster + 24 so I'm really cranky!
    I suggest If you have a G4 Power Book you resist the temptation to install the video update.

  • Printing Error with second user.

    Thanks in advance everyone.
    Here is my issue, I have an iBook G4 running 10.3.9 connected to a network printer with two user accounts, The first user account works fine and can print, however the second account cannot. It gives me the "Error Printing" message which is really helpful.
    I have tried re-adding the printer, and deleting com.apple.pint... preferences files, and repairing the permissions.
    Any insight would be wonderful.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    In the second account ~/Library/Printers select the printer and Command + i. to open Get Info and check the *Ownership and permissions* down the bottom, to see if the second user can read and write to that printer.

    There is no problem with another user but with anonymous user  it gives "an XML element was malformed" error  when I want to select data from Oracle database using BI_JDBC in VC.

  • Netflix display error with Safari 8/OSX 10.10 Yosemite

    I am having an issue with playing Netflix content through Safari since upgrading to Yosemite. Specifically, Netflix will start to play the content and then display an error after a few seconds. The error reads "Whoops, something went wrong... display error. There appears to be a display problem. Please ensure your monitor is HDCP compliant and is not mirror using airplay."
    My monitor is HDCP compliant (HP ZR30W) and it's the only monitor connected to my 2014 MacPro. I presume this is an issue with the latest version of Safari and all the next extensions Apple added to support Netflix streaming without the Silverlight plugin.
    Anyone have a solution for this or seen the same problem? The new Safari is crazy-fast and I'd prefer to use it with Netflix. Hate bailing to Chrome.

    I just got it to work, and I think I may know why, just in case it helps anyone.
    My setup: 
    Mac Mini (late 2012), with two monitors connected:
         One dell HDMI monitor, hdcp compliant, plugged into the Mac Mini HDMI port.
         One dell monitor plugged into thunderbolt via thunderbolt-VGA adaptor.
    Unplugging the second monitor from the thunderbolt-VGA adaptor fixed the issue, and now Netflix plays with the HTML5 setting turned on!  So it would appear that the second monitor was the problem.  Which would track with what this page says:
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    The page states that a Thunderbolt-DVI connector should work.  Luckily this monitor has both, so the next thing I will try is to buy a Thunderbolt-DVI adaptor and retest with both monitors attached (I don't have one at the moment).  If that works, I'll post the results, maybe next week.
    This kind of stinks because I've always been  two-monitor dude, I like having a movie playing on one monitor while I work on the other for example.  For now, until I get the adaptor, I'll switch netflix back to using silverlight, which seems to still work with both monitors attached.
