Video issues on A1286 MBP (denounced by Apple Milton Keynes)

I have an MBP.
The problem is that the video appears garbled when going from full screen to minimised. I cannot press icons at all.
Apple store replaced my logic board as it had a fault but still I am having problems with video.
Apple store (Milton Keynes) say it's "not their problem" and they have turned me away (after spending £1600) on an MPB with the excuse that it's firmware related and they had seen it before but Apple dealt with it. They said that Apple haven't acknowledge the fault on my model.
So I am left with a product that is not "fit for purpose" as there are video problems.
I dont care what is causing this. I know its Apple's fault as I have booted it off one of their generic OS/drives and the problem is still there.
I am fed up with Apple now and the customer service at MILTON KEYNES store is a disgrace. So much so that I as a customer have had to contact Trading standards to investigate this case.
All I want is my Apple Mac Book Pro to function correctly.

To view you have to remove the space between the 0 and .png that Apples code keeps inserting. They are doing this to stop spam I guess but it's simply a case of deleting the space between the . and 0 so its 0.png and not 0 .png

I've read your post five times now, looked at your screenshot three times, and I still can't make heads or tails of what your problem is, never mind suggest how to solve it. Can you explain clearly what isn't working as you expect? Your problem statement above ("The problem is that...") is completely opaque.

Thankyou Apple Milton Keynes! Dust under screen!

Hi everyone!
I've never felt compelled to write on the forum before, but today is different!
Thought I would lighten the mood a little bit.
Over the past few days I have noticed several dust specks appearing under the screen of my 3g. I have had the phone since launch day and so far been delighted.
So today I booked an appointment at the Genius Bar at Milton Keynes, where I was treated very nicely, and walked out 10 minutes later with a brand new flawless device without any argument at all. All of the staff were very sympathetic and helpful. Not like any other phone company that will argue till the sun goes down that it's not their fault!
All in all, very impressed, and delighted with my perfect new iPhone 3g!
Thanks for reading!

Funny... I've been compelled to write in these forums ever since I purchased my iPhone! Dust started collecting under my screen after a week, so I sent it back. Eager to please and with great enthusiasm, they replaced my iPhone immediately! with a refurbished phone that had a blown speaker...
Then I got a dropped call while talking to customer support. I'm so absolutely infuriated and on the edge that I can barely NOT kill everyone in sight. But at least I was nice to CS agent on the phone. That's good karma, right?

I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to send a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV. Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

How is it my Mac computer next to my apple tv gets 25 Mbps and my apple tv has buffering issues?

Does anyone have a problem where their Mac and Apple are co-located and the computer, via WiFi, receives 25 Mbps and the Apple TV has HUGE buffering problems?
I like Apple products, but am frankly tired of the buffering issues with the Apple TV. When I test the network in the Apple TV, I never see, or don't know where to look, what the Apple TV streaming rate is at the time, just says "done".
Appreciate anyone thoughts; hate to go to Ruku, but am just about done with the Apple TV's that we've purchased.
Thanks.

Was the speed verified using speedtest.net?
Is the issue occuring on specific content? At specific times?
The network test is useless, if you want to see a report of your network and check for interference use istumbler.net
Make sure your DNS is set to the ISPs (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

Apple wireless keyboard a1134 issues w 2011 mbp

I'm having serious issues with the A1134 keyboard from Apple. I use my macbook pro both at home and at work in clamshell mode, that is with the lid closed, power connected, and an external monitor on mini display port. I use the Apple Bluetooth keyboard A1134, and the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. The computer ALWAYS pairs just fine with the mouse and track pad, but it seems like almost every day now my computer refuses to immediately pair with the keyboard.
It's very frustrating, and I'm not sure how to fix it. The problems seem to have happened when I wanted to "play" with my keyboard and see if it would pair to my iphone and some other devices, which it did quite nicely (i paired both my home and work one to it at some point). Even though I've since gone and removed it from my iphone and turned bluetooth off on the phone, the pairing with my laptop seems to be a constant battle.
Does any one have any suggestions on how I can completely delete all previous pairings from the keyboard itself? It has to be storing the pairing information in some ROM chip on the keyboard, so it would be nice to factory reset the keyboard somehow so i can start over.
Also, do you think since I have a keyboard and mouse paired at work and another set at home my system might be getting confused with all these devices paired up to it? It's so frustrating and has really been ruining my awesome Mac experience that I love so much.

Hello:
You do not indicate what level of OS X you are now operating (your profile needs updating).
There are a couple of things I can suggest, but I need to know where you are first.

Ongoing crashing and power issues (late 2011 MBP)

Hi everyone,
I'm having some really irritating ongoing issues with my 15" unibody MBP, which I purchased new from Apple in Dec 2011. All okay 'til now apart from a hard drive replacement in May when the other one suddenly died (no reason given).
What's happening is that I will be doing some low key activity - internet etc (not overheating nor fans on) - and it will suddenly switch off in a second, almost like it's short circuited. Nothing like the kind of delayed, slow shut down when running out of battery, just a ping without a 'ping'. It then won't respond to being turned on via power button, the battery lights on the side won't light up, and the magsafe light is also off and not charging. This has happened four times now.
1) First time (late June), I was watching a video on the net, mbp plugged in at wall, at least 80-100% charged. Went to connect my iphone via usb, got as far as plugging the usb (unattached to iphone) and it went off immediately. No response as above to anything. Took it to the Apple store the next day, no response to being plugged in there so they theorised that it was the logic board and took it in overnight. The next day I get a phone call from one of the techies backstage saying he'd gone to plug it in and after about 20 mins it began to charge up fine, albeit completely drained of battery. He said he'd done a hardware test etc and everything appeared fine. So I went to get pick it up, they replaced the magsafe saying that must have been the source.
2) Less than a week later, it happens again, this time nothing attached to the usb, and as far as I know before it shut off, charged/charging in wall. No response for at least a day at home of me trying it in various power outlets etc. Just dead to the world. I take it to the genius bar the next day, they plug it in with one of their chargers and it lights up immediately, once again saying it'd been fully drained of power. Again they do a hardware test in front of me, show me everything is fine. This time they replace the plug end of my charger and send me off.
3) Two weeks later (last Monday 9th), I go in to my room and find it on my desk dead to the world. Plugged in, this time in a different house (so no chance of faulty wiring in walls of first). I can see a dim flickering light in magsafe but not enough to charge it, it seems. Won't respond to my attempts to turn on nor plug in around the house. On Thursday its still unresponsive, so I travel 2 hours on the train to my nearest Apple store, only for it to light up soon as they plug it in at the bar, and once again 0% battery. Guy tells me that it'll be my SMC 'getting confused' because I don't shut it down enough (I mostly let it sleep). He says it starts working again after 2 days because the SMC must be resetting itself somehow in its hibernation (?????). I take it home, start making a conscious effort to shut it down once or twice a day when I know I won't be using it. I also installed the recent OS and firmware updates.
4) Saturday night (tonight 14th). On the internet in bed with phone plugged in via USB, I unplug phone on phone end and it happens again. I can't turn it on, dim green flickering in magsafe, no lights on side of mac.
I honestly can't afford the money nor the time to keep travelling to Exeter only for it to charge soon as I put it down (magic touch of the apple store circuitry/staff I guess).
I can't reset the SMC as it won't turn on either way - I've tried this every time its happened, under the direction of applecare phone support and it doesn't do anything for a dead machine. Along with all the other keyboard combos they suggest. The only thing that 'cures' it is 2 or 3 days of being completely unresponsive, and then spontaneously deciding to charge like nothings happened beyond a battery drain, usually in the store.
What can I do? Whenever I go to the Apple store it works fine and I look like an idiot, plus they checked the hardware (incl the logic board) the first time. Could they have missed something? I spent so much money on this thing, I almost feel like I've been given a dud and they don't believe me enough to replace it.
TIA,
Thomasyn

You've documented your symptoms pretty well - put it in a document and present it to the Apple Store 'genius'. I would insist on a logic board replacement and a battery replacement. I feel as if you have a dud as well (the hard drive dying so soon, the problems you're describing, etc.). Apple will have a log of your AppleCare calls so make them frequently.
Before going back to the store, call AppleCare again with your symptoms so that they can document them. Let them make your appointment at the Apple Store.
Good luck,
Clinton

MacBook Pro 2011 Repair Extension Program for Video Issues -Feedback?

Anybody have any feedback from the MacBook Pro 2011 Repair Extension Program for Video Issues?
I had my early 2011 15 inch 8,2 repaired (free) under the extension program. The machine now appears to run well - but much hotter than before. The case is significantly hotter - especially at the GPU corner and the fans are constantly on moderate to high (not full). Anybody else experiencing similar changes?

Run an Apple Hardware Test;
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
Note an error free AHT is not definitive.
install iStat menus:

Set Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.
When the MBP gets hot, post images of both for inspection.
Ciao.

Kernel Panic on iMac with Pixelated Video Issues

One of our work iMacs has been having weird pixelate video issues recently. Sometimes previews of program windows will freeze on screen... and as you move the window around the screen "erases" this preview from the LCD... It is a 2006 24" White iMac 6,1. Now we get some Kernel Panics with the following error message. Please help me decipher it. Thanks!

Re: Kernel Panic on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Lion 10.7.1, 4gb RAM
27-sep-2011 11:53 (in response to jose guzman) Launch the Apple Hardware Test program, run the extended tests at least twice, and then download and run Rember. All indications are that you have bad or flaky RAM.

Video issues in mac os 10.6.4 and windows 7 64x

To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory, and wasn't experiencing any video problems until earlier this month. I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
I'm thinking, Ok, perhaps this is a bad install of windows, since it happened in a windows program (everquest 2, an online game), and rebooted into Mac. Almost immediately, I saw video problems (snow, pixels, lines, distortion)on the mac side, which had occurred with the windows side.
My husband is angry, I'm angry, so I decide that I'm going to trash everything and start off completely fresh. I intended to reinstall mac 10.6.4 after erasing everything, so I removed the windows partition, and attempted to reinstall snow leapard, without using the original leapard disc that came with the system. I didn't realize until too late that I had forgotten to erase the original os, but I figured I'd see if there were any problems and go from there. I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side. I was able to fully update the mac side before attempting any installation of the windows os.
I started having video problems really quickly in the windows side after the full installation and update, but the system disabled the initial nvidia drivers and went to plug and play drivers. The only thing that displayed any further problems was the ISight camera, but that was to be expected without the apple updates.
I did read the bootcamp manual afterwards, and saw that my IMac, being an earlier version, might not properly install bootcamp drivers for windows 7 64x, although we had successfully located and manually installed the drivers earlier when first installing windows 7 64x. Keep in mind, I'd had the os installed for several months without any video problems, and in fact, it worked like a dream in both os after the computer had a previous repair of the hard drive, sound card, and logic board.
Anyway, to continue, after the video symptoms occurred on windows, I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums. I had to change os because it was a dmg, so I did so. Now, I still had the snow leapard install disc in the computer, so that's the first thing I saw on the screen when booting into mac. I immediately started also seeing the pixels and some distortion, but it stopped briefly. I tried bringing up Firefox to get to the download, but the computer froze (showed the little round ball)and wouldn't respond further. I tried several reboots, and could usually at least get into snow leapard, but the computer froze each time.
Finally, after several attempts, the computer won't boot into either os, and won't go into the install disc either. I'm completely at a loss, because I'm told this IS NOT a hardware issue, and the problem was resolved with simply resetting everything. The problem was NOT resolved with that reset, because I'm able to reproduce this issue consistently with multiple reboots, and have even recorded it with a camera I have. I'm at my wit's end, because I'm on a fixed income, and this costs me time and money I just don't have. It's caused me to get behind on one of my bills, because I have to have a computer, and further repairs, while covered under warranty, are going to cost me further money to get to and from the service center. Not to mention the fact that it's going to take another month for me to wait for my money to become available so that I can pay for the ride back and forth for the repair.
Anyone, anyone at all, have any suggestions that may help? I have access to another computer, and can try using that computer to help me boot the other computer up, if I know how. Please, this is so frustrating to me, so I'm hoping someone can suggest something that may help.
I know I mentioned in the post what type of video issues I'm experiencing, but I figured I'd reiterate to make it easy. The computer will display a distorted image on bootup, like a pixelated off-center image. You know, kinda like 2 punch cards held up to each other, with the same holes, but off center. You also get snow, when able to boot up, with the screen sometimes showing half the screen, flickering. Like the screen is broken, but it's not even scratched. And it's not all the time either, if it was, I would think maybe an internal screen was broken or cracked (I've worked tech support for devices with internal screens, so I understand you can have a perfectly good outer screen, but a cracked inner screen). Right now, on bootup, I get that punch card effect, then the screen goes blank. I should mention that sometimes the system will show that, but then boot into windows with no immediate distortion, but will show distortion in the mac side if I'm able to boot into snow leapard. Hope this information helps someone give me an answer that helps.

To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory …
I'm assuming you mean the Early 2008 iMac since there is no "late 2008" one. AFAIK, it came with 2 GB of RAM standard & the common BTO option would have been 4 GB, so can we assume that you have installed an aftermarket memory module to get to 3 GB?
I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
What repair and setup? Is this something you did after getting the iMac back from service? If so, what exactly did you do?
I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side.
Do you mean the Windows drivers or something else? Did you follow the Bootcamp install procedure exactly when reinstalling Windows or not?
I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums.
What video firmware download do you mean? AKAIK, there are none for early 2008 iMacs.
No offense intended, but it is hard to understand exactly what you have done because while you mention much, you don't say a lot about the specifics for a lot of that. In general, it is best to concentrate on those things & keep the commentary to a minimum.

Does 10.4.4 reslove mac mini video issues?

Hello Everyone,
Has 10.4.4 resolved the video display issues that have been reported?... According to the 10.4.4 there was an update to the ATI video drivers

Hi Doug
I was reffering to the DVI out problem people have had with various monitors in which users were geeting "red noise" and other oddities. I was hoping that the new video driver solved the problem

Reporting an audio/video issue with a TV show from a Season Pass? How?

I would like to report some audio/video issues with the latest The Unit and The Seeker episodes but I can't find them in my Purchase History??? I own a Season Pass for both. Any idea how to do it? I'm lost. Thanks!

Is this the lack of audio on "Shadow Riders"? I've just got to that episode, and I tried to report the problem, but the whole series of hoops you have to jump through seems to have changed. Rather than get to the page where you add comments for the problems, it merely sends you to an internet link on apple that has no bearing on the problem.
If you open your account information (store > View my account) you can click your purchase history there. The theory is that you find your program, click the arrow next to it, then click "report a problem" and it should allow you to enter a comment, or the problem... Anyone else having this troubvle?

Matrox g200ew video issues

I am having video issues. I would preffer not having to add a video card but it starting to look like its gonna happen.
I have a supermicro motherboard with onboard Matrox g200ew.
So far it has been nothing but problems. The scroll rate at the console is unbearably slow. I get faster scroll rate when I ssh in remotely!!
X is also not working. When I try to startx I get an error:
[ 601.189] (EE) mga: The PCI device 0x532 at 09@00:03:0 has a kernel module claimint it.
lsmod reveals that: there is a mgag200 kms driver loaded.
Obviously something going on with the kernel mode driver. Any sugestions on getting this working?

Replacement Program - ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT video issue

Mac Pro (Early 2008):
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT video card with distorted video or no video
Last Modified: March 15, 2011
Article: TS3630
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3630
Symptoms
Apple has determined that certain ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT cards sold for use in Mac Pro computers between approximately January 2008 and May 2010 may experience distorted video or no video.
Products Affected
Mac Pro (Early 2008)
Resolution
If your Mac Pro experiences distorted video or no video issues and has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT card in it, you will need to bring your computer's serial number and the graphics card into an Apple Authorized Service Provider or an Apple Retail Store location for verification and to exchange the affected graphics card for a replacement.

The replacement process as stated here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3630
is not correct.
Here is my first hand experience:
Have had the intermittent problems as described almost since the computer was new. After many calls to applecare and ROM upgrades, software upgrades and reinstalls, new boot drive - problem persisted until last week -now monitor stays on black screen on startup.
Called local Apple store as described in support page - they know nothing about it and you cannot talk to a tech on the phone - have to make appt. Asked the receptionist to please describe problem to tech and see if they might be able to help before I take the time to make appt. I was told that they don't handle that here - go to an outside service center. Of course its Friday and the outside service is closed until Monday. Call another apple store and make an appointment - they seam more willing to help.
Follow the instructions and remove board and take it with Mac serial number to store.
I am told that they will not release the replacement board unless they install it themselves in my computer. I politely point out that the service doc states otherwise - no dice. Tech orders the board - won't know until Monday what delivery schedule is - he guesses 2-3 days and they can install when it comes in.
Lesson learned.
You can't trust what apple says in a tech document - maybe you can't believe anything they say. Frustrating part is that you can't talk to anyone to get a straight answer until you nail someone down in person - and how do I know that the tech told me the right thing. After all, doesn't corporate dictate policy? I got the policy from the corp site. So which is right?
Do you think they would reimburse me if I went out and purchased a new board and did the replacement myself?
"If you believe you have paid for repair or replacement because of this issue, contact Apple regarding a refund."
I highly doubt it based on what the tech said - but who should I believe?

Video issues after update - 15" Macbook Pro (Late 2011)

I recently ran some updates for my mac and ever since then, I've been having video issues where my screen is showing horizontal lines. The lines come and go as I make changes to the screen (like minimizing a window) and they came in go and varying degrees of badness. Icons will also start missing unless I hover over them or make some other video change in that area of the screen.
It could be a coincidence that it occurred after making the updates, but it is worth noting.
OS: 10.7.4
Model: 15" 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7, 4 GB, Late-2011
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB

Blqack screen, no chime and it's not a video issue

Hi, I got a big problem and I will like to know what your thinking about.
When I try to open my Intel-Based IMac, there's no video. The screen is black but the light came on and the drive and the fan make a sound. The keyboard and the mouse doesnt work and the computer doesnt make a chime.
I tried to find some info on the website of apple
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300537
but it's not the same problem. The fan and the drive is working but I dont have the chime. Then it's not only a video issue, it's not only the display who is not working because the mouse and the keyboard doesn't work and the chime didn't came on.
It's the second time it do that. I didn't install a new software for the last week. The fist time, the technical support told me it was probably a software issue. After a while, I was able to turn on my computer and I made every update. After that, I made a reboot and everything worked. I taught it was ok and I turned off my computer. After the night, the same problem came on. I tried again to turn on and nothing worked. Black screen, no keyboard, no mouse, light turn on, the drive and cd make a sound and no chime. And this time, I was not able to turn on after many reboot with the power button.
I think it's a problem with the computer himself and not a software issue but I dont want to send my computer to a apple store before to confirm it. I need my computer as fast as I can and I don't have a retail neer of my home.

Your symptoms, though not exactly the same, seem to indicate a problem with your RAM. The startup chime is a signal that your Mac has passed the Power On Self Test and suitable RAM was found. No startup chime is usually a sign of bad or poorly seated RAM.

I would start by removing the RAM modules and test them one at a time in each of the RAM slots to rule out bad RAM or a bad slot. Then seat both modules securely.
