What can I do, when the viewer shows strangely fragmented images I can't work with?

Good Evening,
I have lately the strange problem, that the images on my viewer in Final Cut Pro X (10.0.8) are heavily distorted.
As you can see on this Screenshot, mostly the image is like split into several channels. Sometimes, is has fragments of some sort of stored graphics from previous projects in it.
perhabs it is important to know, that it is on a second monitor. However it used to work properly before the error started to show up periodically. Now it occurs ervy time i start to edit my footage. It is really annoying and i can't edit any longer. I used to just click on another file and it disappeared for some minutes, but now it stays the whole time.
Hopefully you can help me with this. Is there anyone with the same problem? I can't seem to find anything on google...
thanks in advance.
edit: the screenshot was not uploaded.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's possible that your hard drive is damaged. Hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting to start into OS X Recovery. Then, open Disk Utility, choose the hard drive at the top of the sidebar and look at the bottom of the window, so search for the SMART status. What does it say?
If it has failed, make a backup of your data and get a new hard drive. You can use any 9.5 mm 2'5" SATA hard drive with your computer. You can find some at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/

    what does it mean when i turn on my i-pod and it has a white screen and all it displays is the time and the play button cant get to the main screen to play music

    Is the hold switch in the on position?  Try resetting the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  The iPod may have simply locked up.

  • What do I do when my ipod shows me the white apple logo but doesn't start?

    what do I do when my ipod shows me the white apple logo but dosent start? by the way it ran out of battery but when I plug it in this happens.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

    why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

  • I/O timeout all the time on console - what can I do with my hard drive? Macbook pro late 2011

    My macbook has been extremely slow for a while and after looking on this site I discovered I should look at the console - and noticed I had I/O timeouts all the time which I gather are a problem.
    What can I do with my hard drive? If I back it up using time machine and erase the disk with zeros will the problem continue if I simply restore from time machine?
    Or should I invest in a new hard drive - but if I buy a new hard drive is there something on my computer that will wreck that one as well? i use final cut pro/studio a lot and it's got to the stage where I can barely use it - do I need a 7200rpm hard drive? My current one is a 500gb 5400rpm.
    I have 16gb of RAM in but since upgrading this from 4GB it made a difference to the speed for all of two seconds then the computer returned to its normal slow speed.
    Would appreciate any help on this issue as I'm not particularly technical.

    I wouldn't worry too much about what the Console logs are showing... although I/O timeouts, if related to reading/writing to your disk may be a problem. I would have to see the whole Console message to know for certain...
    Your hard drive is sure to be slowing you down with FCP. Your best bet would be to upgrade to an SSD, if you can afford it. It's the only way you're going to see a real speed increase in FCP as so many large temp/cache files are written to the drive.
    If you can't afford a SSD, you may want to look at a 7200rpm SATA III drive (if your MBP supports SATA III - which model do you have? 2011 or later, I'm assuming, since you note that you've 16GB of RAM?).
    You should also update your OS to 10.7.5 if your profile reading of 10.7.2 is correct. Won't help speed, but will be more reliable -> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582.

  • Good day actually i purchase second hand iphone from Swiss and we i try to open it in Egypt the phone showing it's locked as it was working in Swiss, so no one will help me like Apple it self just i want to know what is the way to fix this issue please?

    You need to find out who the carrier was in Switzerland and see if they will unlock the device. The carrier with the lock is the only one that can authorize the unlock. You may need to check with the original owner and see if they can get it unlocked by the carrier if you do not qualify.

  • I accidentally cut instead of copied a folder of previously imported raw files. When I pasted the folder back I could see it in Windows Explore but not in the LR library. How can I work with these files again?

    HI,
    My daughter will often ask me to give her raw files I've taken at family events so that she can process them in her own copy of LR. (I work too slowly, apparently.) Recently I inadvertently cut instead of copied a folder. When I pasted it back I could see it in Windows Explorer but not in my LR library. I thought that re-importing the files might work, LR gave me a message that they were already imported. I expect there is a way to make the files available again in LR and would be grateful for some advice.
    thanks
    Ken

    The solutions is either of the following:
    Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
    Copy the photos back into the exact same folder and folder location that they were in before
    I don't know what you actually did "when I pasted it back" ... but the bigger issue is that you shouldn't be working with these files in your operating system, period. Once you import them into Lightroom, you don't manage these files in your operating system.

  • What do I do when the Installations disc does not have a destination disc?

    what do I do when the Installations disc does not have a destination disc?

    The disk needs to be properly formated & partitioned.
    Format a disk
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
    Start up disk utility.
    On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.  Click on the  disk.
    Click on the partition tab.
    You will now see how your  disk is currently set up.  Fill in the information as appropriate. You should pick Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Click on Options...
    Select Apple Partition Map to boot a PPC.

  • All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area.  I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  Help!

    All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. It makes it look as though all of my photos are the exact same! I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  How can I return it so that I see the photo itself in the preview area? Thank you!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

  • What do i do when the application says up to date on the application manager?

    what do i do when the application says up to date on the application manager?

    From here: iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    Temperature warning screen appears with the message "iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it", "iPad needs to cool down before you can use it", or "iPod touch (4th generation) needs to cool down before you can use it" (see image):
    This message appears when the operating temperature has become too hot. This is a safety mechanism that protects the components of your device. If this message appears, you should turn the device off, move it to a cooler environment, and allow it to cool before resuming use.
    Note (iPhone only): When this message appears, the device may still be able to make emergency calls.
