Weird screen artifacts after QT update

Ran the QT 7.1.5 / iTunes update this morning on my 10.3.9 Power Mac G5 and now I'm getting strange video artifacts. For example: the toolbar area of Firefox is no longer white - it's a crosshatched gray, almost like I was running in lo-res, but the main browser window looks normal. Other programs exhibit the same type of artifact - but only in certain parts of their windows. Also, the "hand" cursor looks like it's made up of dots, like pointilism. Everything works fine, just looks weird.
I repaired permissions, reapplied the 10.3.9 combo update, and reapplied the QT 7.1.5 update. No change. I can go into the Display preferences and switch from millions of colors to 256 and back again - and then things look fine, until I quit and relaunch the program. Then the artifacts are back.
Anybody have any ideas? I hope I've explained this sufficiently. I have a screen shot of this but don't know how to post it.
Thanks!

In KDE there are also artefacts Downgrading xf86-video-ati works good for me...
I'm running KDE as well. Guess I should have mentioned that. I'll try to downgrade the "xf86-video-ati" to see if that helps.
Thanks!

Dual screen problems after last updates

Hello everyone,
it was long time since our Arch gave me some problems, but then now I'm fighting furiously with dual screen configuration with new gnome. Let me explain.
I upgraded the home PC that I hadn't update for months, so I updated more or less everything ... kernel, nvidia drivers, gnome, etc..
The PC has always been dual screen (no twin view, without xinerama), two screens (one on a LCD monitor and one on a TV) where I could run separate applications independent.
Now, after the update, when I launch any application in the second screen (the TV) it starts on the first (screen).
Obviously I have't made any changes to xorg.conf before and after the upgrade. I also tried to recreate one with the nvidia-tools but nothing ...
Can you help me? Someone had the same problem?
I post my xorg.conf, I hope that someone has a hint. I can no longer watching movies on TV and it is very annoying!

Writing the post a tried to install fluxbox, and then... all ok. In fluxbox all works fine. I think this is a problem related to the new gnome screen configurer.
I post an image of gnome screen configurer vs nvidia-tools.
Googling around I found that new gnome screen configuration (using xrandr) is not compatible with nvidia drivers. Could be this the source of the problem?
Help please

Hi,
Does your Mac go to the sleep status when you close the cover? If so, the remote session can be terminated due to time out and the time out value may be redesigned in the latest versions.
Thanks.

Mac Mini - Weird screen colours after update - Help!?

I just updated to Mavericks on my Mac Mini and my colours have went really weird. The reds and oranges are now greens, and the blues are now purples. I just thought this was the new colour scheme (LOL) then I realised the colours had effected everything. Panicking abit as the colour is very important for my photography work.
The screen I have plugged in is just a bog standard 21". I tried the standard calbriation test but it was useless, it ended up extremely bright and still badly coloured, and there was no way I was saving that as a profile - Should I try the 'expert mode' calibiration?
Any advice would be great! Thank you kindly! :-)

Update: I am trying to boot from the mac osx install disc; holding down C or alt/option upon startup isn't doing anything....

Flickering Screen issue after Mavericks update released on Feb 26, 2014

I own a Macbook Retina display bought in early 2014. After installing the recent Maverick update released around Feb 26, 2014 the display developed flickering problem while scrolling and now the scrolling is not smooth any more. The originally shipped machine did not have this problem. I tested other software including Photoshop and the display still flickers while panning the canvas. I also tried resetting the SMC - System Management Controller but it didn't work along with other attempts of resetting the disk permissions, running a systems cleaner, changing the wifi-router etc.
How to fix this flickering screen issue?

The problem came back lately and I tried this solution and it worked. Go to system settings > power saver > and switch off the Automatic Graphic switching. Not sure if this is a good solution, but it seem to have worked for the time being.

Black screen mirroring after ATV update

hi, I need help, I just bought my ATV, and it mirrored my IPad just fine, then it asked me to update the ATV software, now it just give me sound but no mirror??? Only a black screen. Help please!

I have the same problem. After restarting the iPad, mirroring will work for 2 or 3 times and then after that I get a black screen on the TV.
It is not a router issue because my iPhone and MCP all work fine sending to ATV repeatedly. It's just the iPad that is having this issue, the one place I really need the capability.
I've tried everything suggested on other threads with this topic. The only thing that works is rebooting the iPad, but the problem crops up after 2-3 uses. I really need to be able to turn mirroring on/off repeatedly like I can on other devices.

Get "screen junk" after newest update to 10.6.7

I have a Mac Pro using dual monitor. Every 10 minutes or so the display on one (or sometimes both) monitors goes crazy. Here is a screenshot of what I mean by "screen junk." http://i55.tinypic.com/34rgo41.png
It is getting really annoying and makes it impossible for me to use my computer. This started to happen right after I got the latest Mac Update.
Can anyone advice?

What you are seeing there is not garbage. It is a deterministic repetition of small screen areas over and over. This might be caused by an addressing problem in the graphics hardware.
Have you run the Apple Hardware test from your original DVDs? It does a gross check for memory integrity on the card.

VZ Navigator Screen Dim after ICS update

Since the update to Android 4.0.4, the VZ Navigator application my Droid Razr Maxx is almost unusable during the day. Entering the application immediately dims the display so low that it is almost unreadable. Exiting the application immediately returns the screen back to normal.
I have disabled 'night' mode on VZ Navigator, uninstalled and reinstalled the VZ Navigator application (currently at 8.0).
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

I have the same problem after I accidentally installed ICS this afternoon. Also affected Navigator unless kept touching the screen at timeout. Called tech support--no help. Read threads then TRIED THIS TEMPORARY SOLUTION:1
1. Go to Preferences->Display->NIGHT MODE->ON.
2. Set Night Mode Brightness to 100 (slide right).
May have to take phone display off automatic and manually set brightness.
I also set screen timeout to 10 minutes for Navigator (Google) to prevent dimming until solve that one too
A few other points. VZNavigator, which was working perfectly on my Droid Razr Maxx prior to ICS, provides your speed and posted speed limits on screen. Has a better display in some ways (3D is pretty real) and has found better routes at times. My wife has a Droid Razr and now also agrees VZN has some advantages. Neither is perfect, glad to have both so when one is not working or gives bad route can switch to the other. And it's $5/ month and worth it.
When she upgraded to ICS, it caused battery drain almost visibly dropping. Full charge gone in less than an hour.
I also found some apps are SLOWER in loading on my Maxx and ICS changed my settings on email and other apps. I personally do not like the newer visuals/graphics--harder to see, some controls easier in previous version, widgets had to be reloaded after power down trying to solve dark screen problem.
Lots of things they could have fixed instead of an "a la Microsoft" let's give 'em lots of "new" features and looks (even if they don't like it). After all, we're Microsoft (substitute Verizon)--we're big, we don't have to care.
I loved the tech response (translated) "we'll get to it".

Cannot adjust screen brightness after BIOS update

I was able to adjust my laptop screen brightness but after the BIOS update:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132077
I'm not any-more able to adjust it by hitting F2 / F3
Any good suggestion on what to use to manage volume, /brightness etc? or why now isn't working anymore?
Thanks.

HI,
thanks for the heads up, however I think the problem could be related also to my keyboard layout.
Current
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf | grep -i model

Actually my HP is dv6 and I see now that the keyboard is totally different:
DV5 http://images.google.com/imgres?q=hp+dv … 29,r:0,s:0

Screen Freeze after last update

On my late 2011 imac 21.5" I have been getting a consistent problem since the last OS update. After the screensaver comes on, or, if left to sleep by it's own devices, either my screensaver freezes or the gray screen won't recover from sleep. If I move the cursor with the trackpad it clears the gray screen where the cursor moves around. I can usually clear enough that I can hit the login button and log in after pushing the power button. This is a new phenomenon since the latest OS update. Any help would be appreciated.

Can I really be the only person having this problem? I have dl'd the combo pack for the update & I'll install it this evening and see if that makes a difference. Again, any insight would be appreciated.

Intel screen tearing after Xorg update

So after updating Xorg about a week ago, I have had constant screen tearing going on with my Intel chipset. I can't figure out what the issue is.
I am running Arch on a Macbook Air 5.2 with an Intel 4000 chipset. I am using AwesomeWM and LightDM.

Also, let me know if you need me to provide more info.

Perhaps the update did not apply successfully.
Download and reinstall it manually: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048.
Still happening after that? Try a safeboot and then restart: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455

Changes in screen brightness after Windows update

I recently purchased my Lenovo IdeaPad P500. The screen was fine until an automatice Windows update occurreced. Now it is hard to see the screen because it has darkened. No matter what I try I cannot get it to brighten up and it is hard to view in well lit rooms. What can I do to correct the problem. I have tried all of the googled suggested out there with no success. Please HELP!!!

I don't see where to turn off the auto brightness feature in Win 8.1 on P500 Ideapad.
But I think this laptop has other problems; the screen remains very dim even while booting up.
Help!

N8 Maps screen size after Belle Update

Not to happy with the map app changes. But anyway. The new Drive app seems to only show the map on half of the screen with the other half of the screen being used for time and distance. Is ther anyway of deselecting these and having the map across the whole of the screen like before?
Thanks

Haha yeah for sure. But really, how do i uninstall Belle n get my old interface back. I tried to restore but it just gave me belle again. I only upgraded by accident while i was charging by usb. The old interface looked better anyway why change it all instead of simply adding in the new stuff as an update that you know is gona work. I use my n8 as a wifi hotspot when im away from home n now i cant even connect to the internet with my phone. NOKIA, please provide a driver roll back function. Next phone = iphone n il buy a half decent camera to compensate for the loss of my carl zeiss.

Blue screen flicker after security update

I just downloaded the recent security update this morning, and now about 5 minutes after starting up my macbook pro, the monitor flickers to blue for about 5 seconds or so, then flickers back to the desktop for less than one second, and flickers back to blue again. Multiple hard boots doesn't resolve the issue, but booting into safe mode keeps it stable.
I thought it might be an issue with having a Second monitor installed during the installation, since the issue didn't come up until after shutting down, unplugging the monitor and running the laptop on its own. After the second time rebooting, i pulled up the display prefs in system preferences and It pulled up two windows, one for the mbp display and a second for a display that was 1x1 pixels. I then pressed "detect displays" and it seemed to fix the problem. Then a couple of minutes later it did the blue flicker again.
I have a 15" mbp 2.2 core i7 with 8GB RAM that was purchased in june 2011 and is running 10.6.8.
Right now i'm not sure what to do next. Any help?

Hi,
I struggled with the same problem when the stage is squeezed just after the Default.png disappears and after less then a sec it stretches to the right aspect ratio.
The settings I'm using:
aspect ratio - landscape
fullscreen - true
auto orientation - false
After trying different things (using other png's and other solutions people offered) I think I finally found a fair solution. You can still get a very short flicker every now and then but for example when I tested my app I opened it 20 times and received a flicker only once. But yeah, till Adobe or someone else finds a better solution for this issue I think it's the best you can get.
So it's pretty simple, just set the scaling mode to no_scale by putting this line of code on your first frame:
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
I'm still struggling with doing the same thing when using the document class. It seems like it takes more time till the line is fired and you'll always get the flicker for a very short time (although much shorter then before adding this line of code).
I hope it will do the trick for you. If I'll find a better solution or will find a better way to implement this solution with the document class I'll post again.

Weird screen artifacts replaying video recorded using Camtasia

I record a screencast using Camtasia using the default Techsmith Screen Codec 2 codec and it plays back in Windows Media Player just fine. I can also drag it into Sony Vegas and edit it just fine. When I drag it into Premiere Pro CC I can replay it, but it doesn't render right. There is a weird problem with things like dialog boxes where only parts of the dialog show at any given time and tend to be revealed as the mouse is moved around. Here's an image...
It looks like keyframe issue to me. Anyone know what's going on?

Certainly Camtasia can export .mp4 files, but I'm recording directly to .avi using my choice of codec. Rendering video out of Camtasia would add an additional (and very long) step to the process and would also reduce quality by compressing twice. I wouldn't think that Premiere Pro would need to necessarily "support" a codec. If a system has a codec and is capable of compressing and decompressing to and from it, then I would expect a program like Premiere to just work. The other video editing software packages work with it.

Nokia 5800 Screen Problems After Firmware Update V...

Hi all,
I have the Nokia 5800 navigation edition. I just updated the firmwareon it from V40. to the latest available 51.2.007. Doing so has turned the phone's screen into a huge mess - the lower half of the screen is all white and the upper half has some weired flickering and the icons(the ones that are visible) are all messed up too and some of them are not responding at all.
Heres what I've done to resolve the problem:
- remove the battery, memory and sim cards for a few hours.
- reboot the phone without the memory card(eliminating any corrupt setup files).
- reinstalled the V51.2.007 update several times using bothe the Ovi Suite and the older Nokia PC Suite updater.
- tried running the updates on all XP, Vista and Windows 7.
Can you please advise me of any other possible solutions I can try. Is there any way to revert back to the older firmware. The phone was working just fine before the update.
Thank you all for your help.

There is another way to hard reset your phone and it is as follows.
With your phone powered off, press and hold Green + Red + Camera Keys. Then power on phone using the on/off button whilst keeping the three keys depressed until you see the Nokia Shaking Hands Logo.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
This reset will revert the phone to its out of the box state, so it will revert back to the original version of Maps that came with the phone. However, this should be an issue as you can easily redownload and reinstall the latest again.
