Weird Dock/ blue highlighting graphical glitch. Pictures included.
Hey guys I've been having some trouble with my dock. It works fine but there is some graphical problem going on with it. I first noticed it with the 3d dock a few weeks ago so I tried switching to the 2d dock. It seemed to go away (even though if I switch back to the 3d version it is still there) but today when viewing a page with a white background this happened -

With the 3d dock it happens all the time but with the 2d dock it seems to happen mostly with a white background. It also happens when trying to highlight or click on an app.
Anyone know what would cause this and how to go about fixing this? I don't think it's just a dock problem. I forgot to mention it also happens when minimizing webpages. For instance if I have 2 open and I minimize 1, it would leave a trail of this highlighted blue on the screen. Thing is all this is sporadic. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't.
And also does anyone know what would cause this?

I've repaired permissions and run onyx but no dice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would run the AHT "Apple Hardware Test". It is included with your system restore discs. There could be graphics chip errors (voltage etc) or it could be software based. I am betting it is SW based as I have had this issue before with hard corners on the windows and general graphic anomalies.
Also try booting to MAC OS on your machine from different source. Disc or Hard Disk.
Failing all that I think I fixed my issue a few years ago with an Archive and Install. It will replace your System Folder but keep all your user data. Then patch with the combo update to 10.6.6.

17 inch March 26-29 (order date – shipping date) 2011 MacBook Pro, 256GB Solid State Drive, 2.3 GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, 1 processer, 4 Cores, 256 KB L2 Cache per core, 8 MB L3 Cache, 8 GB Memory (8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB), AMD Radeon HD 6750M Video Card, Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 512 MB total of VRAM. 110 GBs of free/unused disk space remaining.
Full Specs are in subsequent post.
The issues described in the title continue even after I’ve reinstalled the operating system twice (Snow Leopard) and installed Mavericks (which is working fine and even faster). I’ve tried many commands to repair this.
If anyone has experienced any of the symptoms above or below, your advice and response will be much appreciated as well as marked. These are the details:
My Early 2011 MacBook Pro has had the typical blue screens, screen freezes and graphics issues since I bought it about three years ago but nothing like this and NEVER any load issues until about a month ago. That was when my superdrive replacement was put in.
Since then my MacBook Pro will go into hard freezes or kernel panics. Then I’ll have to power it down manually and power it up manually. It’ll then refuse to load the OS until after multiple tries. It started out just 2 or 3, then 4 or 5, then 6-12, then 20. Now it takes over 30 boots to load the OS. These boot issues also occur even if it doesn’t freeze, i.e.: when I shut it down or restart it naturally (via the Apple menu, etc.).
95% of the time it’ll load to a gray screen instead of the OS. 4% of the time it’ll load to a light blue screen. Then there are the others: the first time this happened it loaded to the striped purple and teal screen shown in the picture. This happened the next four times then intermittently for about 5 or so more times.
It also loaded gray flickering screens. Flickering screens also occurred right before it froze and had to be manually powered down and up. Then it began to load regular gray and light blue screens and all flickering screens stopped. And then bright blue screens a couple times intermittently for a few days, sometimes with lines. Sometimes it’ll load to a blank/black screen as well. I’d reset the NVRAM and SMC but it still continued, happening multiple times a day, each time taking more and more hard shut downs and hard power ons to finally load the OS.
Until I installed Mavericks, every time it finally loaded the OS Finder began indexing. After Mavericks this has occurred 95% of the time.
After talking to Apple Support they had me do a NVRAM and SMC reset again over the phone. The MacBook Pro refused to load the entire time we were on the phone. After the call it got worse. It froze over 6 times that day and at worse took over 30 boots to load the OS.
I finally had time to deal with it the next day when it froze again. After over 25 boots it loaded and I put in the Snow Leopard OS dvd and ran Disk Utility. I verified the hard drive and it said it was fine. Repaired the disk anyway and it gave this message at the end:
“Updating boot support partitions for volume required”.
Next I tried to start in safe mode and it just hung up for hours. Then started up in single mode and it loaded the OS. It then loaded normally for three times in a row. I reinstalled Snow Leopard. Everything loaded normally. I waited an hour or so and then I downloaded Mavericks. 5 or so hours later Mavericks was installed. Everything hardware wise was fine for a day and all software issues were easily fixable incompatibilities. My Mac was even faster with Mavericks. However, Photoshop did give a perhaps relevant message:
“Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer’s website for the latest software.
GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences.”
(I have OpenGL enabled in Photoshop and it was already checked when this error occurred).
Two days ago I went to Disk Utility to repair permissions while logged in to a non-admin account. Verified and repaired the disk, then verified permissions. Everything fine. After repairing permissions however, it gave a weird error box:
"Unapproved caller, SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple software".
The box stayed “stuck” in the Disk Utility window. My MacBook Pro then failed to do anything. I manually powered it down and up. It loaded to a gray screen with the error message box again: "Unapproved caller, SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple software".
It then refused to load anything else but this message box on a gray screen even after rebooting it multiple times in safe, verbose and single modes and after resetting the NVRAM and SMC. I went online with an iPad and entered in the error and got some advice. I tried to run fsck and erase the /var/folders/ via single user mode but it still loaded to a gray screen with the error message. I just decided to skip to the end and Cmd-R loaded into recovery mode and reinstalled Mavericks again. That worked: the message has not appeared since.
Some people have said this error is related to a hard drive cable failure. I know that this cable was tampered with during the optical drive replacement procedures because I watched them do it.
Everything was fine for a day. Then yesterday my MacBook Pro froze while trying to open a VLC file. It took 12 boots to load the OS. I tried single mode once and verbose mode once. 10 times it loaded to gray screens, even in those mode. A Safe boot lead to a bright blue screen. Finally reset the SMC and it loaded on the 12th time.
Just five hours ago the same thing happened except it took over 30 boots to load the OS. Single, verbose and normal boots, NVRAM and SMC resets lead to gray screens. Safe boots lead to bright blue screens with and without lines (see pictures). Finally loaded on a normal boot.
I know I should have tried safe booting, verbose, single and recovery modes, disk utility, fsck and other command methods earlier this month but in the end, these methods have not solved the problem anymore than resetting the NVRAM or SMC.
There seems to be conclusive evidence that it’s a hardware problem, stemming from last month, the FIRST AND ONLY time my MacBook Pro was opened up. Maybe it’s the hard drive cable, but it could also be the graphics card and/or logic board (something that’s always been defective on this MacBook Pro, in my opinion). Many early 2011 MacBook Pro owners have given evidence to the latter possibility online.
The first time it started it seemed to stem from me using iPhoto and Photoshop a lot. I had both running continuously for about two weeks. This is another reason for suspecting the graphics card/logic board is at fault (in addition to three years of screen/graphics glitches). And since the card is soldered to the board and the board connected to the cable...I also have serious battery draining issues, something else that got bad after the Apple Superdrive repair. And the battery is connected to the board...
Also, since downloading Mavericks, windows from every app get blurry/fuzzy when I scroll or zoom in. I have read that this is happening to a lot of folks though for various reasons.
I guess it could always be the hard drive. I just don’t know. I’m taking it in to Apple, but can't right away because it’s not local. I know they’ll be able to run a test on the hard drive. I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem (especially the purple and teal striped screen) before they start poking around, possibly creating another problem that goes beyond my Apple Care Plan allotment.SPECS OF MY MACBOOK PRO:

Weird graphical glitches in Chrome with Mavericks
I installed Mavericks and since then I have a weird and common graphical glitch that affects the whole screen when using Chrome and happens for about half a second at a time. It is pretty frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this? It looks like this:
Will there be an update to Mavericks soon? My computer is even slower since the install. Programs crashing often...Have you tried another browser like Safari or Firefox?
Firefox
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Weird graphical glitch - Aperture 2.1.1l
First, my system configuration is as follows:
Mac Pro (original 2006), OS X 10.5.4
ATI Radeon X1900XT with two monitors (24" 1920x1200 flat panel, 17" 1280x1024 flat panel)
Nvidia 7300GT with one monitor (17" 1280x1024 flat panel)
4GB of RAM
2x 250GB SATA hard drives.
Here's the problem. When I use Aperture, I frequently get a black screen in the photo area when I start editing a photo, particularly the levels control. I cannot see the photo once I start editing it, and when I switch to other photos it either randomly goes black or displays the photo with really bad color distortion.
If I export the photos and open them in Preview they look fine. It's only while being edited in Aperture that they look messed up. Also, if I use the fast preview feature (P to toggle it when browsing) the problem goes away. But of course this keeps me from adjusting photos which is the primary purpose of Aperture!
Has anyone else seen this problem? It's maddening that I spent $200 on this software and it has such obvious graphical glitches.
Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.
-John "Zorin" FlynnYour post got me to thinking, and I started fiddling with the displays.
When I unplug the 17" flat panel from the Nvidia 7300GT card, the problem goes away. It only seems to happen when that display is active.
It doesn't seem to matter how I connect the displays, if the head on the Nvidia card is activate the problem manifests.
So there's some sort of conflict between the video cards. This is odd, because *everything else* on the system works great. Heck, I like to drag playing videos off onto that head and it works beautifully.
Oh well, guess I'll have to unplug the monitor whenever I use Aperture until the bug is fixed. Still very annoyed, as it's all Apple hardware and shouldn't have these problems. What happened to "It just works"? -
Macbook pro retina graphic glitch
Hello,
I'd like to share with you my story with the problems I've had with my macbook pro retina 15' 2012 (with both intel and nvidia graphics) and ask for some help.
First of all, back when it still had Mountain Lion as its OS I already detected some graphic glitches. When I started the mbpr, 1 out of 5 times it would load buggy. The dock would shake whenever I move the mouse over it, exposé would lag a lot and eventually scrolling in Safari was terrible, incredibly shaky. Basically every animation on the OS went laggy or just at 10 fps.
However the performance in terms of speed and results was still OK. If I played a game I would detect no error whatsoever.
So after some months of ignoring it because I had work and couldn't take the mac to the store I decided to take it. It was getting worse as it started to happen more often than usual. By then I had already upgraded to Mavericks (no clean install, just updated) and the problem still persisted.
Visit #1:
After explaning the problem and being able to show it to the genius they took my mac. They called a couple of days after telling me it was a OS issue and they did a clean install of Mavericks.
So I took it home, reinstall everything from scratch, they told me it may be an account/user issue so I better not use time machine to recover anything.
After a month it started to happen again. I have to say that it happen after I had already installed everything quite some time before, not right after installing any particular app or while running any.
It would load buggy again 1 out of 2/3 times and it wouldn't stop until I restarted and if I was lucky enough it would load OK.
Visit #2:
I returned to the genius and explained again the problem. They decided that it had to be some graphic issue related to the intel or nvidia systems so they replaced the logic board.
Again a couple of weeks later I detected the problem again.
Visit #3:
Once more to the store, they were quite puzzled that even after replacing the motherboard it would still show the issue.
After doing some tests they decided to reinstall Mavericks. Once installed they found no issue so they decided it was solved.
After this I had to return once again because it turn out that they forgot to connect the keyboard backlight system and it wouldn't light.
Anyway, this time I decided to install only the absolutely necesary apps for my work. I even downloaded the newest versions of all of them (if they had newer). Most of those apps are from the Mac App Store and the ones that are not are absolutely famous and used by thounsands of people, not that I use alphas or betas of any app.
One important detail is that the problem was getting worse. Now every time I started the mac it would be buggy and it was extremely shaky, it was impossible to read while scrolling in Safari now. Sometimes when using exposé/mission control it would even show weird pixels on screen. Every time I had this problem it was worse, more shaky and more often.
Visit #4:
Being already a VIP visitor of the genius bar I went decided to solve the problem once and for all. I told them every detail, they saw the problem and I insisted on the software I had was completely "normal". They told me they would replace the screen, the logic board again and the IO just in case.
So imagine my surprise when I receive a call from the genius who was repairing my machien saying that after reinstalling Mavericks it showed no issue! I was furious. They insisted that it was some app I had installed and that I needed to install one app at a time, wait ONE WEEK and if nothing happens install the next.
They were not kidding aparently. After complaining I had no choice but to take my mac back and....here I am.
So my question (after the diary I've written, sorry) is:
Is this really being caused by an app I have installed? Is really an app capable of crash the entire animation system and only while in the OS UI and not in games? I've never had any app running on the background besides Fantastical (from Appstore) and Dropbox (updated).
I am listing the apps I had last time I resintalled everything:
1. 2Do (appstore)
2. Indesign CC
3. Appcleaner
4. Autocad 2014
5. World of warcraft
6. Dropbox
7. Evernote (appstore)
8. Fantastical (appstore)
9. Keynote, Pages & Numbers (appstore)
10. Pixelmator (appstore)
11. Sketchup 2014
12. Skype
13. Steam
14. The unarchiver
15. Transmission
16. VLC
17. iPhoto
So, 17 apps, which I believe are just a few. Is there any of those apps you think may cause any issue? I haven't installed anything yet. I am using my old macbook pro (which btw have every app I had in the buggy retina with no problem whatsoever) while I try to see if the problem persist while installing nothing.
I still don't believe it is a software problem. Since it appears every time sooner and with more "intensity" I suspect it might be hardware but I am no expert.
Thanks for any help or info you can share!Go for a few day (2-3) without installing any apps. Then install AutoCAD 2014 first and run only that for another couple of days. See if the problems resurface. If not, go ahead and reinstall all software, making sure that you create a clone after everything's installed (try Carbon Copy Cloner - they have a few 30-day evaluation period, I believe).
If problems resurface, you'll know that it's hardware.
Good luck,
Clinton -
When I look at itunes, sometimes the items have a graphical glitch. Sort of doubling themselves, and just straight out looking wrong. When I take a screenshot, the screenshot has no glitches, but the actual screen does. Heres a picture I took of the screen with my iphone.
I'm not sure if theres anything else I should include, so I'll include this.

I had a graphic problem with my iMac 3 weeks ago, had to take it to an Apple repairer 3 hours away, there just isn't anyone closer, and have had it back for about 6 hours now. I got the Snow Leopard upgrade while it was away and have been looking forward to getting into it all. As soon as I got my iMac home I fired it up and straight away noticed a graphic glitch or something odd on my 2nd monitor, kinda looked like aliens from space invaders... This problem went away if I changed that monitors resolution or if I rotated the display, so I thought it might be a driver problem which should hopefully be fixed by upgrading to SL.
I attempted this upgrade, it seemed to go fine but when I finally got into SL I noticed that once again there were some space invader glitches, but instead of being huge and all the way across the 2nd monitor they were in 2 separate blocks 1 in the top left and one just slightly to the right from center at the very top, they were flashing green from time to time (just like before) but that was about all. After a few seconds all the icons on my desktop and also the dock icons screwed up, display as black and white lines, or weird colored blocks, or super pixelated and just pretty screwy.
I formatted from fresh doing Leopard (without updating fully to 10.5.8) then installing SL, same problem, I then tried installing just SL which worked as usual but still had the graphic glitches when hovering over or interacting this time, also there were some problems with the glitches showing over windows (I'll put a link to a screenshot of them at the end). I'm currently updating a fresh install of Leopard to 10.5.8 to then update to SL to see if that works.
I had a thought that it might be hardware, the logic board and graphics card were both replaced during the repair time, they said they tested it but on the repair form I got it just says 'restarted a few times with no problems' so I'm not sure if they even tested it very much.
It took almost 3 weeks to get my mac back today, and these problems are quite annoying, if I have to lose it for another 3 weeks because of this lack of testing I'm gonna be rather annoyed as I'm losing work because of it.
Anyone got ideas of what it might be? or just anyone else had this problem with SL or just Leopard? Any information would be great.
Screenshot of glitch while doing a google search:
http://www.xager.net/i/glitch.jpgMy old first gen macbook pro had a similar problem (under Tiger and Leopard), it was fixed. My current unibody macbook pro is doing this as well, I've only noticed it now under Snow Leopard.
I doubt it's a software problem, I've had similar issues in PCs when their video cards were running too hot. My current mbp gets these glitches when the system is under more load and so I'm sure its heat related. One time the heat and glitches got so bad the system just locked up.
I hope you can get your system repaired. I am going to now go ahead and try my luck with apple support as well. -
IMac crashes on startup or freezes with graphical glitches
Hi,
My early 2009 24" iMac suddenly crashed a few days ago, while browsing on the internet with no major app running. It did so with graphical glitches, like coloured dots. Since then, it would always shut down suddenly every time I restart. It shuts down right after the Apple logo and the wheel, once even reaching the user selection screen for a second, then shutting down before I could even move.
I started it in safe mode and ran all the checks, it says the volume is fine. When checking disk permissions, it did give me a few error messages but let me do the repairs. Weird thing is when I ran the disk permission verification again it showed me the same permission, as if they hadn't been repaired.
Now I backup everything and tried to reinstall OS X but to no avail, it kept doing the same thing.
So I formatted the disk, zeroed it out and reinstalled Mavericks. Same thing keeps happening, which seem to indicate some kind of hardware failure, right?
On one occasion it did start up but after a few seconds it froze, with heavy glitches (see picture attached - sorry it's upside down but it doesn't make a huge difference anyway!).
I upgraded the iMac with new RAM a year ago or so, and 2 years ago it had a hard drive failure, so I replaced the HD. Never had any problems in general, apart from when I had to replace the HD of course. It's always been very stable and well behaved.
Any idea what the problem could be? I'm not looking forward to having to fork out £1500 for a new one...http://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/ may be worth reading before you visit Apple. I don't thibk you'd be the first to argue that an expensive, quality computer ought to last more than 5 years, albeit that say, mechanical hard drives inside might need replacing.

I need to remove blue highlighting around certain words in a pdf document.
Someone tell me how.
I'm not sure how to send a screenshot in this forum but it doesn't matter now. The problem was that I somehow removed the Form Fields without it removing the information in them as well as the blue highlight for selecting an answer to the individual questions.
I ended up going into another copy of the application and using the Tools>Highlight Existing Fields operation and then going through and making sure the different form fields weren't locked and then deleting each one.
Initially I used the left hand side Navigation Pane buttons to remove all embedded information which is what got rid of the form fields but not the info in those form fields, which included the blue highlight.
Thank you for your help though. -
Problem: What is this? Pictures included...
This is the only problem I have noticed with the images on my screen not appearing correctly. It's during the Arabesque screensaver. It should be all black, with like faded colors. But there is black, and then a gray hard line. I took a picture with my iphone. Take a look...
It does it 1 out of 6 times...
Can someone please tell me what this is? Do I need a new graphics card?
Link below...
http://www.redvent.com/images/problem.jpgei8htyfi5e,
Looks like you're having a graphical glitch with your Arabesque Screen Saver. That, or a video driver issue. Any of your other graphics screwed up?
Also the "That's 1 thing Dell has on Apple". Sorry, if you purchase AppleCare, Apple DOES come to your house to fix it. Only phone support with the stock warranty and carry-in to an authorized dealer.
Hope you get your problem resolved. -
Equium U400 graphical glitch Windows Vista
Hello all,
I-ve recently purchased the abovementioned machine and I would have been very happy with it were it not for the graphical glitch. It usually appears after a couple of minutes of work and it scrambles the colors, making it look pretty screwy (IE background for example is for some reason blue-green instead of white, which makes it annoying to work with. There are also artifacts and so on. I have downloaded the latest drivers from this site. I-m running vista home 32bit
please help.Hello
Is your notebook preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image (factory settings)?
Can you test it please with external display? It will be interesting to see how it looks there?
I just hope on external display is everything OK.
Please post the result and we can continue the discussion. -
[Solved] Catalyst graphical glitches with dual head setup
Hello all, having a weird issue with my dual monitor setup where graphical glitches make my primary monitor completely unusable. The Tear Free feature of the proprietary catalyst driver is what seems to be causing it:
Tear Free enabled:
Tear Free disabled:
I can safely enable it with one monitor disabled also. The issue is that without Tear Free enabled, I'm experiencing some serious screen tearing when watching videos and playing games.
My video card is the XFX HD 7970 Double D and I'm using the latest version of catalyst (14.4), installed from Vi0L0's repo. The monitors are the same model with the same specs (1920x1200 @60Hz). I definitely used to be able to use Tear Free with my dual head setup at most a month ago, so some update at some point must have broken it. I temporarily switched back to the open source driver before I had found Tear Free to be the culprit and the performance is still hardly comparable.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Downgrading catalyst to 14.3 seems to have done the job. Thanks for the suggestion, marking as solved.

Sorry, I don't post often and wasn't aware of the rules on images. I'll keep that in mind next time. -
Graphic Glitch on export transition
Here's whats going on. I'm shooting on a T2i, and I import the .mov files into FCP just fine, they playback and all. I've export project after project without problems with this same setup. I export the project using quicktime, and the export has graphic glitches on transitions, and also text that I generated in FCP. How can this be resolved. The t2i footage acts fine it's the graphics.
Here, I'll save Shane the trouble:
You started on the wrong foot. You didn't convert the footage to an editing format. The files the camera makes aren't well suited for editing. I have a tutorial on how you are supposed to bring tapeless formats into FCP...including Canon DSLR: http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1 -
Fix for Spaces graphical glitches?
I'm wondering if there is a fix for this issue I have recently noticed. I'm not exactly sure when it started happening, but I am now getting consistent graphical glitches when I go from the Spaces overview mode (birds-eye view) to any particular space. See the screengrab I've attached. This is what I see when going from Spaces overview to iTunes from clicking on its space. See the weird outlines of the iTunes window? This happens with other applications as well. Moving the window around refreshes the graphics and gets things back to normal. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I seemed to have narrowed down the issue. It only happens when Google Chrome is onscreen somewhere.
