Weird graphics problem: HELP

i recently upgraded to 10.5.5. Everything seemed fine. However, i came home today and found that my displays (i have three, listed below in my profile) were not displaying color correctly. All of them appear to be very dark, and certainly not in millions of colors, actually, it looks like everything has reverted to 16 bit color or something. i have restarted the machine, etc., but when i restart, as soon as the finder loads, the color disappears. i have 10.4 also installed on a second hard drive (which i am working in at the moment) and everything is fine, so it is not the graphics card or a hardware issue, but specific to 10.5.5. i also reinstalled the 10.5.5 updater, and everything remained the same. The Dock also seems to have gotten corrupted somehow. Does anyone know what might be going on or a possible fix? Thanks.

try to update graphic card drivers, check for bios update if there's available.
try to sway or replace your sticks.
if these don't work, contact lenovo support line cause you may have issue with graphic card adapter.

Freezing, glitches and weird graphics problems

My white iMac starting having weird praphics issues about year and a half ago. Nothing that was too much to deal with. Simply using expose always cleared it up and if it came back I would do the same. It seems to be getting worse. And then yesterday my iMac started getting super slow and pausing for no reason and then I got the black transparent window shade come from the top of my screen to the bottom and then a message telling me I needed to restart my computer.
After that seemed to work but I still had graphics problems screen flickering and things like this. Then freezes started happening. I reset my pram and novram with no luck. That didn't seem to help. I have 4g of memory so I know it's not that. What hardware could be causing this? Thanks
Btw using the latest version of snow leopard

Super Crazy Graphics Problem, HELP!

So I posted this in the Safari Discussion Board, but then realized it happened outside of Safari.
Whenever I do something that I would think requires the graphics card, the screen goes all crazy, as if someone took a screenshot and draw all over it with MS Paint. It just started happening 5 minutes ago and I am even having trouble writing this because the craziness keeps blocking the text box. My MacBook Pro is a year and a half old now and I don't know what caused it. I was surfing in Safari and suddenly BOOM. Crazy lines and squiggles everywhere. I remember reading about this a while ago but it was concerning the iMac. Can someone fill me in? I got so scared the first time it happened that I don't even want to restart in fear the computer may explode, haha.
Here is a picture from my phone:
http://www.timshundo.com/dpud/uploads/0420080129.jpg
As you can see, it is not a screen problem because the mouse is above all of the crap and is still movable. It isn't until I do something else, like activate dashboard, when it all goes away. HELP!

If you're unlucky you might have a hardware issue and need to go through apple service for complete diagnosis/repair. Usually when encountering a serious issue I'd check I have all my important data backed up. Next is to consider some trouble shooting/diagnosis of the issue (if you have APP, may just not want the hassle and go straight to Apple service). Apple have a step-by-step KB article on how to isolate issues in OS X on your Mac, this is a good place to start:

Weird graphics problem on asus K55V

Hello guys, yesterday I installed arch and I have this weird problem when i startx:
This should be my openbox desktop
http://ompldr.org/vZmdudg
And this should be my tty
http://ompldr.org/vZmdueA
I have the nvidia drivers installed (my gfx card is nvidia 630m)
The other thing is when i run nvidia-xconfig - the xserver refuses to start, I can only startx if there isn't a xorg.conf. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I installed it, but the problem remains. I have followed the instructions from the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … .2F_nvidia) and did the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … _Bumblebee (@bumblebeed) in rc.conf.

Major graphics problem - help!

Over the past month or so I have begun to notice an intermittent issue with my graphics where multiple vertical lines of different and changing colors appear to "rain" all over my desktop. I've tried different user accounts, display settings to no avail.
Another user had this problem about a year ago and posted a picture nearly identical to my own problem: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4133857#4133857
In this thread the user traces his problem to the graphics hardware, which he was trying to replace, but doesn't say whether or not that resolved his issue.
I ran an extensive hardware diagnostic at the local Apple store which found no problems with the graphics card. The guy there offered to replace the card for $350.
So now I have a conundrum. I'm planning to replace this system in the near future - but what do I do with this powermac? It has 5.5 GB RAM and has performed nearly flawlessly for over four years. Can I sell it in good conscience? What more can I do to resolve this problem?

Hi Eric Beyer-
When you can take a screenshot of the problem it is generally the graphics card.
If you take a screen shot while the problem is happening, and then look at it when the picture is normal, and you see the problem that would be it.
Have you opened it and looked for dust build-up?

Really weird exporting problem, HELP!!!!

I can't figure this out at all...
I am exporting a high res SD file (uncompressed) after having added a 1.66 matte, and it seems to be causing me to degrade the image. Could be interlacing, or could be resolution. But it definitely looks worse.
In FCP it looks great. I did a test export WITHOUT the matte, and it looks great. Then, when I add the matte (or try to crop it, as an alternative), the export suddenly looks degraded. Literally the only thing I've changed is the matte/crop (both yield the same result). How could it be possible that the image would so drastically change?
Again, both of these were exported straight out of the same sequence in Final Cut Pro, using the same exact export settings. I have a side by side picture, but don't know how to post it...
Thanks in advance!!!
Nick

Thanks for the responses-- here is a link (from another forum) for the picture.
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1039888
If you zoom in, you can see the pixelation is pretty different on the matted version.
My export setting is Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2. These are the settings native to the original footage (off of digibeta). My intention is to NOT compress anything (at this stage).
The weird thing is that it can't be an export setting, right? Because the non-matted version looks fine, and is using the same exact settings.
It's just when the matte is added to the equation that things get wonky...

Weird Battery Problems - Help me =)

I have an..
HP Pavilion dv6
8gb ram
750 hdd
i5
Windows 7
My problem is that when I plug the charger to my laptop, the battery light/indicator becomes red, usually meaning that there a problem, which there is. My laptop does charge, I dont know if its charging faster or slower. Another thing is that the charger is very very hot!
So I dont really know what to do, any sugestions?

Can you let me know the specific model DV6 this is? An AC adapter being somewhat hot is normal, but being very very hot is not. Is the adapter hot enough to burn you? If so I would definitely disconnect it from the wall until we can verify that it is functioning properly.
Thanks
Sean

Weird charging problem help please

every morning when i wake up, its always at 92%. then if i just unplug it and plug it back in, it will start going to 100%
why does it always do this?

nachdenki wrote:
well ... from what i've read: if the battery falls below 40%, some irreversible chemical reactions lower the overall capacity of the battery.
This is likely not true for the battery technology in the 3GS.
if you keep it at very high voltage all the time (so at 100% or so) it shortens the battery life, so it will die earlier.
This is definitely not true.

24" iMac (1st Gen\White), Graphics Problem(s)

Hi, I will have had my iMac for two years on Thursday (Christmas present, in a way) and it is currently starting to exhibit some weird graphical problems, horizontal lines are appearing in various applications, at random times, but the weird thing is that they stay in that app when i move the window around and I can take snapshots of them. I posted some to my MobileMe Gallery: http://gallery.me.com/mam693#100105
I installed Leopard on an iPod and those lines even showed up on the install DVD as well as the clean iPod making me believe its a hardware issue.
Now, I have been reading that other people have had similar problems and have had to pay around $800 to get it fixed, if anyone could confirm, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if anyone has any other suggestions they would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Hello,
This sounds like a video card issue but if you haven't done so, check the hard disk for errors.
To check the hard disk:
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the Menu Bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click the Verify button. If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
If it were me, I'd back the system up and erase the drive just to make sure it isn't a hardware issue and not have to shell out $$$$$.
Reinstalling Mac OS X
Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact.
NOTE: To reinstall Mac OS X from another computer on your network, see this topic:
Using Remote Install Mac OS X
To reinstall Mac OS X:
Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available).
Click Options.
If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, select “Archive and Install,” and then select “Preserve Users and Network Settings.”
If you want to erase everything on your computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select “Erase and Install.” You can’t recover erased data.
Click Continue.
Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you’d like to install, or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).
NOTE: If you selected “Erase and Install” in step 3, you may need to use the Applications Install DVD that came with your computer to reinstall your iLife applications (GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iWeb). If you are prompted to use the Applications Install DVD, insert the Applications Install DVD, double-click the Install Bundled Software icon, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you purchased a standalone version of Mac OS X, these installation instructions are in a PDF file located on the Mac OS X Install DVD.
If you need to reinstall the version of Mac OS X that was on your computer when you purchased it, or if you need to restore all the software on your computer, including Apple software, third-party applications, and other printer drivers, review the instructions in the manual that came with your computer.
If you need to reinstall Mac OS X and you’ve been using Time Machine for backup, you can easily restore your applications, files, and user settings from your Time Machine backup disk after you’ve reinstalled Mac OS X.
Happy Holidays!!!

WEIRD MacPro softRAID problem HELP

MacPro RAID 0 problem I NEED HELP
I am having a weird RAID problem with our new MacPro 2.66, MacOS 10.4.8, 5GB RAM, 4 x 500GB RAID 0, 1.8 TB in internal bays configuration, drives have been formatted individually, and the RAID 0 have been created with Apple Disk Utility - original 250GB drive moved to the optical bay. In service for a week or so.
The RAID mount at start-up, can be open, and show the content. After 30 sec. I got a “bad device removal message“ and the RAID is gone.
We have more then 500GB of photos on it and NO BACK UP.
The problem first show up when I was writing DVD backup set with Toast 8 (yes, I was doing it) and I plugged a LaCie FireWire 800 drive in the front port. That drive is good and mounting on other Mac. Seem unrelated to me, I mention it just in case.
I checked the controler of the 4 x 500GB drive with TechTool Pro, test passed.
Disk utility, first aid, failed with the following report:
Verify and repair disk RAID Mattera
Can't open /dev/rdisk3: ressource busy
1 non HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of error.
Disk utility RAID tab is showing that the RAID is offline and that the 465.4 GB - RAID Slice (disk0s2) failed. The 3 others one are offline. As I cannot find a way to insert my snapshot I am reproducing what I can see on the left window.
465.8 GB Maxtor 7H500f0
465.4 GB disk0s2
465.8 GB Maxtor 7H500f0
465.4 GB disk1s2
465.8 GB Maxtor 7H500f0
465.4 GB disk2s2
1.8 TB RAID Mattera
disk3
465.8 GB Maxtor 7H500f0
465.4 GB disk4s2
What is not normal, in the left window, is the disk3 right under 1.8 TB RAID Mattera. Was not there before if I recall correctly.
More, as far as I can recall, my RAID set was made of 465.4 GB - RAID Slice (disk1s2) (disk2s2) (disk3s2) (disk4s2).
The RAID had consecutive number when created, disk1s2 to disk4s2.
There was no Slice by the name of (disk0s2) in it.
The problem seem to be there as Disk utility, first aid report state:
Can't open /dev/rdisk3: ressource busy
Does the RAID setup is in PRAM? Is there a corrupted preference file, visible or invisible that can be removed.
I am lost with that problem. I need an expert advise.
I would appreciate greatly any help on this one. I cannot loose the content of the RAID.

MacPro 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have seen the exact same problem happen twice now on my Mac Pro. Here is the configuration:
Mac Pro 3 GHz, 8 GB Apple RAM, nVidia FX 4500
5 internal SATA drives (all WD1500ADFD) one drive (optical bay) is used for system, 4 others are used in Apple RAID 0 (stripe) for data.
Two of the RAID failures happened while my backup software was running a backup script (Personal Backup X4) that clones the RAID to external fw800 drive. These failures reported the following in the system log:
kernel[0]: AppleRAID::completeRAIDRequest - error 0xe0030005 detected for set "Stripe" (0D6F397D-04AB-4D12-A634-73E668D9B6F4), member 8EE005C9-1F88-424E-896D-7600B54A3B05, set byte offset = 120291328.
Jan 29 09:33:59 MacPro kernel[0]: disk3: 0xe0030005 (UNDEFINED).
These failures were unrecoverable (tried using both DU and DW4) and required the RAID volume to be destroyed. Once taking the disks out of the RAID, all drives passed both the Apple Hardware tests, DW tests, and TechTool Pro tests. I then re-created the RAID stripe with the same 4 drives, and restored data to the volume. The RAID volume then performed without error for 34 days, after which time the exact same problem occured.
I've also had two other RAID failures that didn't require the RAID volume to be destroyed; upon re-boot, the journal was able to repair the data. These two failured happend when logging into an Parallels XP VM that was running from the RAID.
The two hard-crash failures that happened during the backup routine (where the RAID had to be destroyed) failed during the backup of the Parallels hdd file (corrupting it). I have posted in the Parallels forums without any helpful responses (and emailed their support team, but we all know how useless that is!). My backup software vendor (Intego) has responded quicky to my support requests, but tell me that it's a hardware problem, and not their software.
Apple doens't provide any technical support for RAID unless you purchase an Advanced Enterprise support plan (or something similarly named).
The S.M.A.R.T. status of these drives are checked daily (DW4), and have never reported an error.
After both hard-failures, all disks have passed all the diagnostics that I have run. What are the chances that this is indeed a hardware failure??? I have been able to recreate the RAID after both failures, and continue to use it without problems for many weeks (actually, exactly 34 days each time) - writing significant amounts of data to the RAID volume (~60% full) without having any kinds of problems.
There seems to something here that is affecting all of us, and it seems that all that we're going to get for support is 'finger-pointing' and "don't use raid" responses.
During one of the DW repair attempts, I saw an error that read something like "invalid sibling link" on the RAID...
Here's hoping that someone can get to the bottom of this - I'm tired of re-creating the RAID and restoring my data.

apple has already replaced my motherboard and they are trying to figure out why this is still happening. i've reformmated the computer several times now!

Could be bad ram also. There is an app called memtest.

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Graphics problem on iMac G5 w/ iSight.

I just tried installing a 1GB RAM stick in a 17" iMac G5 (iSight). The machine has 512MB of RAM (the standard), and a 1.9Ghz processor. It is running Mac OS X 10.5.7.
My friend, who owns the iMac told me she'd been seeing some weird graphics artefacts and had been having several lock-ups on the computer which required a forced restart to fix. I didn't know what to make of this and said I'd check it out when I went to install the RAM for them.
The problem alarmed me - rather than a few stray black lines that I had been told about, I found all of the following issues.
1. Black / White or Transparent lines on windows and toolbars. These were particularly predominant on menus and other semi-transparent parts of the screen, but also occurred on solid windows - such as Safari.
2. Blank screen - the screen would just go blank after a few moments.
3. Screen freezes - everything on screen would stop other than the arrow. Sometimes this would stick as an arrow, or sometimes as a beachball.
4. A really strange phenomena when I opened a browser page and suddenly the left of the screen slowly faded to black, while the right went white. This went in increments as I watched with the image of the desktop distorted behind it, burning out.
To try to fix the problem I took the following steps:
1. Reinstalled Mac OS X 10.5.7 Combo Update. This had no effect.
2. Repaired permissions. (I didn't expect that to help anyway)
3. Tried booting into a second user account on the computer (again, all the same problems were there - even worse on the other account in fact.
4. Unplugged all peripherals (no effect)
5. Removed the 1GB memory stick I had just installed - this appeared to fix the issue and I thought that maybe this was causing it. However, after a few minutes of normal operations, the problems all came back.
Just to clarify - the problems apparently started a week or so ago (this might coincide with the owner installing Mac OS X 10.5.7, but I can't be sure), at this point the computer only had its built-in 512MB RAM. With the additional 1GB RAM that I installed, the problems seemed to be worse. I know there is nothing wrong with the RAM as I had been using it in my iMac G5 up until this point.
I initially suspected the problem was the graphics drivers - as the problem occurred after upgrading to OS X 10.5.7, though I wondered if the problem could be the GPU itself?
However, I am now wondering if it's a RAM issue as additional RAM makes the problem worse - would having more in the computer change the way that the internal RAM is being accessed and mean that the end addresses of the built-in RAM are being accessed more quickly when additional memory is installed?
I was unable to find out if the machine would work alright if booting from the Leopard or original install Tiger DVD - as I didn't have time to check these.
Please advise me what I can do to diagnose the problem further, or what the owner can do to fix the problem.

"I will have to dig out my copy of Leopard or the original installer for my iMac G5 (w/iSight) as the owner doesn't know where her copies have gone! Maybe trying these will help find a solution"
You cannot use the System DVD/CDs from one Mac to another. The System discs are _+machine specific.+_ You may cause further damage if you use it.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
However, you can try using a purchased retailed Leopard DVD.

Mac OS X 10.4 Help-My Dispay Doesn’t Look Right
If the above is of no help then you will need to do the following:
System Preferences>Display>Display
Check the Colors & Brightness settings.
My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.
Now click on the Color button.
Check Display Profile
Is Show profiles for this display only enabled or disabled?
If necessary click on the Calibrate button & do the necessary.
Now in the bottom right corner, click on the purple button w/the black ? mark in the middle. This will bring up the help window.
Midway down, click on the Colorsync Utility link.
The next window should be Profile First Aid.
Read & follow the instructions/details of About Profile First Aid: & do the necessary to Verify & Repair.
If the culprit is the video card, you will need to take the computer to the nearest AASP or Apple Store for repairs.
