Weird lines follow mouse cursor... (PICS)

I have a iMac 2.4Ghz and it has weird lines that follow the mouse cursor at all times. Does anybody have suggestions as of what it could be? Computer is out of warranty.
Here's a pic.

Before concluding it is hardware related (which is possible), I would start up from a different system (such as your Mac OS X installation disc). If that makes the problem go away, you can try to further isolate the cause by booting normally and creating a new admin user account using System Preferences Accounts pane.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. In the new account, do you see this problem. Since the new account uses default user preference settings (and does not have any third-party background processes), if the problem goes away, there must be something in your normal user account that is the cause.
Actually, before you do anything else, if you have not done so already, you should do the general trouble-shooting +first steps+, reset PRAM

and run +Repair Disk Permissions+ in Disk Utility.

  • Macbook pro 15" retina, display flickers, weird lines follow cursor

    Just got this MacBook Pro on Christmas... Installed Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator today. Later in the day the display became very discolored; vertical and horizontal "shaded" lines follow the cursor, areas above open windows are discolored (lighter), and the screen flickers when typing. I did the software update and have restarted the system, but it is still having issues. Does anyone know of a fix, short of getting into an Apple Store or scheduling a call with Apple?
    Thanks!!

    Nope - it sounds as if you've GPU issues and the discrete GPU is soldered onto the logic board. take your new machine into your local Apple Store for a replacement. Don't wait too long!

  • Why do dark gray lines follow my cursor wherever I move it?

    Why do dark gray lines follow my cursor wherever I move it? Usually happen after computer is awakened from sleep mode.

    The display is not sleeping, though the account is logged out. See the support article below for a resolution:

  • Red lines surrounding mouse cursor arrow, shutdown

    noticed that four small dotted red lines have appeared around the cursor arrow..lines only follow mouse movement and do not appear anywhere else on the screen...my imac just now froze as i was scanning in a pic. i've done a manual restart and everything looks fine, starts to go through the "your computer did not shut down properly" screen without a hitch and then the dancing red lines appear. mac can make it through this screen but then freezes in main startup. this is the third time ive had to do a hard shut down. ??
    has anyone run into the dancing red lines before? any suggestions?
    any help is greatly appreciated

    Hi, monica -
    Just a thought - do you have the CloseView control panel installed? If so, try turning CloseView off within that control panel, or use the keyboard shortcut to toggle it off, which is Command-Option-K.
    If you can't get the machine booted successfully to get to that control panel, then try booting with Extensions Off - hold down the Shift key from the start of booting until the desktop has fully loaded.
    Then drag that control panel out of the Control Panels folder (in System Folder) and restart. I'm not sure if that control panel uses an associated preferences file, but you might look for one (System Folder >> Preferences) - if there, remove it to the desktop also.

  • My macbook pro decided to give a different res and a horizontal line follows my cursor (like a diagnostic mode or something) i have shutdown/restrted. Fixed the res but the cursor problem still exists any help please.

    I was using my mac as normal and then my resultion on mr screen changed which i have fixed using the normal methods but i still continue on getting a horizontal line whereever my cursor is even after i have restarted and shut down. The line is a white colour but my other screens seem dulled wherever this line is not following it is not a solid white. It looks like its in a diagnostic mode or somthing. Any help would be appriciated, thanks.

    It is possible there is a problem with the computer's graphics, but try a simple fix. viz. reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Weird lines/dots around cursor

    My old Mac Pro - 2x2.66 Xeon, 4gb memory, 3x500gb disks, uses external Apple monitor 20" or so - has been acting weirdly. Was getting stuck at grey screen when starting up.
    We went through all the Gray screen appears during startup troubleshooting: removed peripherals - no luck; tried safe mode - no luck; reset PRAM/NVRam - no luck; wiggle all the cables - no luck; tried safe mode again and it booted but there was a very odd pattern around the cursor:
    Photo should be visible at this link
    The dots and lines in the square varied considerably from few to many in an apparently random pattern - this makes me think video RAM is possible broken? The machine won't boot into hardware test mode so I'm not sure how to test this hypothesis though.
    I know it's fairly old and very well used, but financially replacing it right now would be über-difficult so I'd be really happy if it'd last just another year ... any suggestions??

    There is no Archive & Install option in Snow Leopard. Start with downloading and installing the 10.6.2 COMBO update. If that doesn't fix it, reinstall SL and see if that fixes things. If not, hie thee back to the store. BTW, reinstalling isn't drastic or destructive.

  • I mac g5  I get a black line following my cursor

    when moving my cursor it is followed by a thick black line.

    +1...
    Choices?
    Roll back to your previous OS X / Logic setup using your backups...
    or
    Upgrade to LP8 to LPX...  if you can?
    or
    Put up with the black line...

  • Line Following Mouse

    Hi
    Actually I already have a class that does this exact thing
    you can enjoy it here - http://megaswf.com/serve/1154775
    if you play around with it you will notice that the frame rate drops significantly when you move the mouse fast for a long time,
    especially if you add more objects and logic to the game (press space and see what happens )
    my question is how can I make this efficiant and not affect the frame rate.

  • Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS

    Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS on my desktop. I just turned on my computer and it showed like this. I already tested my monitor and it's not the monitor.
    See a picture of my problem here on my me gallery:
    http://gallery.me.com/egarfias/100024
    Looking at websites, it's fine the display but any icons and my pointer and things that move have these lines following! Looking at VIDEO, it's the picture is full of white and black lines though you can see the video just fine.
    Any ideas? Thank you!!

    I am in Safe Mode now: This is the weirdest thing: A bit from column A AND B:
    The display is perfect EXCEPT for two parallel lines of 17, 3 millimeter-long black lines that follow the pointer everywhere it goes.
    Get this: my current display is 1024x768, but when I change it to 640x480, the pointer and everything is perfect! (of course, I can only see a fraction of my desktop)
    But then again... when I zoom in and out holding down control (in 640x480) the pointer lines appear again, but less lines. They disappear when I re-reset it to 640.
    Strange.
    But yeah, safe mode is NEAR perfect with the except of the cursor lines. I can screen grab my cursor though to show...

  • 4 lines following my mouse & odd screen colours

    I have a G3 running 9.2 and at startup the mouse cursor has 4 vertical lines beside it about 1" long and follow it around. Also the colours on the screen are odd. It is not the monitor as it works fine on my other G3. Any ideas?

  • Vista Home Premium: Following install, black screen with mouse cursor

    I have tried installing with Boot Camp (v2.0) twice now with the same result.
    After the install is complete, the mac reboots into windows. I should see the Vista welcome screen but instead I get the black screen with a mouse cursor. The mouse is functional but clearly not much use!
    A subsequent reboot brings up the options for restarting following an unclean shutdown of windows. Running in safe mode, the restart hangs. The last dll loaded was crcdisk.
    I am running an OEM version - once activated (assuming I ever get that far) - the installation will be locked to the mac... which is fine.
    Googling the problem reveals some early Vista beta issues with graphics that caused a similar problem. Does Vista have an issue with the 8800GT that is fitted in my Mac?
    Any help/ideas/suggestions/fixes much appreciated. Rather stumped.
    I would load up XP Pro but I dont have an installer with SP2 :/

    Well my problem turns out to be a bad disk. I added two seagate 7200.11 750GB drives. Once which was making ominous ticking sounds. Vista took an age to install and really, I should have caught on earlier.
    When I got a bunch of disk i/o errors creating a Fusion VM of XP Pro I decided to remove the disk and to try the other unit.
    Vista installed very rapidly indeed and worked. Yes worked.
    Hurrah! Problem solved.
    Time to see about replacing that disk...

  • Black box (line) surrounds and follows mouse, 'mini' screen size, PIP?

    Hi,
    I just tried to install the new wireless mighty mouse and wireless apple keyboard.
    The mouse worked for a minute, but the install of the keyboard killed the BT mouse and now there's this ANNOYING black box around the mouse cursor.
    After playing with it I've noticed that the pointer cursor, which is surrounded by this box (4:3 ratio box, approx 2" wide by 1.5" tall on my 20" 1600x1200 monitor).
    The odd thing is the cursor's position within this box moves in correlation with where on my overall desktop the cursor is placed: If I put my cursor in the upper right corner of my whole screen, the mouse cursor is also in the upper right corner of the small 'box'; if I move it to the lower left of the screen, it is also in the lower left of the box, and so on for the other two corners, and if it's in the middle of the screen, it's in the middel of the little black box.
    So this seems very strange.
    Oh, and neither the BT keyboards or the new mighty mouse BT will show up in the BT menu as recognized devices, though they did just briefly in the beginning.
    So after buying a new USB hub to be able to plug in the Apple/Belkin USB hub along with the Apple store's D-Link USB Bluetooth adapter and a new BT keyboard and mouse - $200 for a wireless keyboard and mouse, all I have is ultra annoying new software problems and all the same wires as before, with an additional keyboard and mouse on my desk. UGH!!!
    Can anyone help with this 'black box around the keyboard issue, at least?
    Thank you soo, so much for any solutions!
    Sarge
    Oh and this weren't enough my barely used video ipod video 60 GB self-distructed this AM - melted inside somehow. I am in Apple ****.

    GREEN STAR FOR YOU!
    Of all the things - somehow, and I've never even been into this control panel, inside the Universal Access/Seeing/Options dialogue, the box was checked saying "Show preview rectangle when zoomed out".
    I unchecked this, and it went away. I had not selected this, ever. How it happened, I don't know except that I do have a Logitech NuLOOQ tooldial device which I had unplugged from USB while troubleshooting my BT wireless keyboard and mouse, and this device requires having the 'enable access for assistive devices' checked in the Universal Access control panel.
    Perhaps unplugging that device somehow lead to this problem, but otherwise I've never 'visited' the UA pref panel or checked anything in it.
    Odd, but THANK YOU for the suggestion!!!

  • New Install - startx results in blank screen with mouse cursor

    I installed Arch on my desktop last week with no issues, so I wanted to install it on an old THinkpad R31. Everything with the installation went smooth, but when I try to 'startx' all I get is a blank screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around. I've installed xorg-xinit, xorg-twm, xorg-xclock, and xterm.
    I'm not getting any significant errors in the logs, or even the terminal I issue 'startx' in.
    I'm not sure what the problem could be...

    I do indeed.
    I went ahead and installed LXDE anyways, just to see what would happen. Exact same thing, it looks like everything is about to load but only the mouse cursor shows up. My Xorg.0.log is the same, so I won't post it again.
    I do get an error in the console about the openbox menu.xml file missing but I doubt that's related.

  • Xorg-server 1.6 - black screen with mouse cursor

    Hi
    First of all: I'm really new to Arch, so maybe there is a real easy fix for this problem
    Since upgrading to xorg-server 1.6 (and today to 1.6.1) I'm not able to get a running Desktop Environment.
    Usually I am using gnome with compiz-fusion on my Geforce 4 (nvidia-96xx 96.43.11-4 driver).
    When I boot my machine i see gdm and I am able to login. I can hear my login sound but I only get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
    I added a new test user to my system without compiz and get the same.
    I tried my old xorg.conf from 1.5, generated a new one with X -configure and tried without xorg.conf but everytime the same
    Actually I'm not sure if the xorg update is responsible for this, because i did not watch the upgrade-process....
    I googled this problem and was searching similar things in this froum, but I wasn't able to find something
    Here are some files
    xorg.conf (i know there are some bullshit things in it, but it was workig )

    I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?
