What is causing green outline/dots?

I am getting this strange green pattern across all applications (see below.) Does anyone know what this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks!

The image that you posted looks OK which leads me to believe that the issue could be with your display. Did you take a screenshot to capture the image? I suggest using a camera to take the picture and post it so we can compare the two images.
Graphics corruption issues that show up when you take a screenshot typically indicate an issue with the graphics system. If the graphics corruption doesn't show up in the screenshot image (like apparently occurred with your screenshot) then it indicates a display issue. I usually recommend taking the screenshot and viewing it on another system so that you can tell whether the issue is present in the screenshot image.

Boot to safe mode using the shift key. But it probably will not work. You need to boot into recovery mode.

What is causing a partial green screen when displaying (youtube) video (except fullscreen)?

Hi there,
Whenever I am watching any Youtube vids, the screen always seems like the colours are split up into a "green overlay" and the remaining colours are washed out. At the bottom of the video sits a green bar and the picture looks "double..."This is very anoying, and the problem does not happen when I use Chrome or Explorer (wich I actually do not want to use) The problem sometimes dissapears when I am watching in full screen mode
No idea what is causing this...
If needed I can upload a screenshot, but I am not sure how to do so here...
Thanks for any advise that can lead to the solution...
Cheers,
Andy

If you see a green square instead of the Flash player then the player failed to create an overlay and you only see the green placeholder.

You don't, take it to Apple for repair.
This might interest you if it's too old to fix.

A four year battery could be dead. I'd contact an Apple Service Center.

Audition REALLY SLOW all of a sudden. What could cause this?

Within the last week Audition has gotten slower and slower. It takes 5-10 seconds at least for playback to start. It has become unworkable. What could cause this and what settings should I change to fix it?
Thanks for any help!

What does a green screen with graph mean?

Hello,
Just had a strange inciden happen to my computer. I was away from it for a about half an hour, left my scrivener writing program open. Returned to it, the screen saver was going, when I hit the up arrow button to get out of my screen saver, suddenly got a green screen which had a graph pattern on it.
Locked up. Held the power button in back for a few seconds, nothing was happening. Tried again, finally restarted the computer and now things look ok. Except very strange behavior when I went to reopen my scriverner program, up in menu bar there is no longer a menu bar for the scrivener program--instead it shows macs File menu bar. Very strange.
Have I been attacked with a virus?
Help most appreciated.
P.S. Read some articles online that today July 9th, people with malware on their mac machines will be shut down. What the heck does this mean?

Hi,
Well--I now understand what the blank green screen was all about regarding my first question.
No need to take photo. It's my screen saver!
Twice today when I return to my computer, and tab the keyboard to awaken it, (the screen saver which now shows a screen saver image rather then the blank green screen) freezes. Try keyboard commands but nothing brings it out of freeze. Have to resort to tabbing the power button to restart computer.
Could it be I need a new graphic card or something else?
Also, last night had a repeated issue while browsing Safari--spinning wheel--have to restart computer. Curious what causes this sometimes when in Safari. Never happens in Firefox.
Help always appreciative.

Weird green outline...

Hi all,
I'm using Flash Pro 8 and doing some video streaming help
section. Initially I've done the streaming part
helplist.
This worked OK (ignore the message inside Tip sectionat the bottom
of the page).
Then I thought I should add a preloader to this help list
page. So, I went ahead and do this
preloader.
Preloader worked OK and I managed to get to the help list. When I
clicked on any one of the item in the list, it brings me to the
streaming video page. Fine. But here if you notice, there's a green
outline appears. Check this
snapshot.
I notice that the dimension of the outline is the same as the
dimension of the list box from the help list page. So, what's goin
on here?
Thanks in advance.
This is the code that is doing the preloading.

Anyone? Any idea? Please....

What is causing Premiere Pro CC to hang?

The issues I'm experiencing never seemed to happen to me when I was on CS6....I'm on a mid 2011 iMac 3.4ghz i7 with 16gb of RAM and the AMD 6970M GPU with 1GB of VRAM and I'm editing ProRes 422 footage. My apps and OS are all on a recently added SSD.
But a few things are happening on Premiere CC (7.0.1) that are driving me nuts and I don't know what's causing it:
1) First, if I have two sequences open and I don't go to one for a while, when I do go and open that tab it hangs for about 15-20 seconds. The render bar is red and I can't scrub through any of the clips as it appears to be loading or something. Then it suddenly clicks in, the render bar turns yellow and I can edit away like normal. What is causing it to hang like that? I don't remember this ever happening on CS6. Is this a hard drive thing (eventhough my new scratch drive is 3x's as fast)? Or maybe a GPU Acceleration thing or a VRAM thing since before on CS6 I wasn't GPU Accelerated since my card isn't "officially supported" although it does ahve 1GB or VRAM? Or is this a Premiere Pro CC thing and I just have to get used to it? Or something else? When I'm in "software only" mode the render bar stays red since my footage is 60fps on a 24fps timeline, but with GPU acceleration the render bar goes yellow and makes it noticably smoother to scrub, etc.
2) Similarly, when I'm editing for a while and I add the gaussian blur effect, the program hangs for another 15 seconds or so before I can scrub or play. It doesn't happen when I first start up PPro, but usually happens more frequently after I've been editing for a while. So why is it hanging? I'm guessing #1 and #2 are related but again, I never experienced this 15-20 second hang time on CS6.
At one point tonight, the app actually froze up after adding a gaussian blur and I had to force close. My auto-save wasn't working for some reason either (I had it saving to Dropbox) so I lost about an hour of work since I had last hit save. Frustrating.
Anyone have any ideas or ways to find out what is causing this? Any solutions?
A little back story and specs: Recently my scratch hard drive crashed so I got a newer much faster hard drive, plus I installed a SSD into my 2011 iMac to run the apps off of. The app loads fast and for the most part editing is fairly snappy and I can keep the Preview window at Full resolution with no stuttering when editing ProRes422 footage. I can also take advantage of GPU acceleration now on PPro CC because my iMac has 1GB of VRAM (eventhough the card is not "officially" supported (AMD 6970M)).

Nothing jumps out, but I have a routine that I do whenever Pr acts up, which is way too often:
1. Trash Preferences (fixes most Pr problems when "it's just not working right").
2. Delete media caches and previews (ditto). Do this after each application crash or hang.
3. Check for corrupt media in your project. That can cause major performance degradation, freezes and crashes. Remove or transcode problem media to some other format.
4. Reboot the computer (Pr has RAM leaks) or much faster, open the Terminal, and type in "purge" (no quote marks) and hit Return every so often. You can tell you're out of RAM when you open the Activity Monitor > System Memory tab, and there's no Free RAM left. Free RAM defaults to the green color. A lot of blue (Inactive RAM) is caused by Pr. It's RAM that's not accessible. Low RAM causes performance issues, and I'm gobsmacked that Adobe hasn't fixed this problem yet. Purging will turn the blue Inactive RAM into Free RAM. The longer you work in Pr, the less Free RAM becomes available.
Those things clear up 99% of my problems.
5. Run Disk Warrior (esp. if you're getting beach balls, AND every time after a computer (not application) crash or freeze).
6. Re-install the application.
7. If you have an external video (BMD, AJA, etc.) or audio card that requires third-party drivers, remove them and see if the problem vanishes.
8. Re-install graphics drivers (this has fixed display issues for me, such as video not updating in real-time).
I know that's a lot of stuff, but I make my living using Pr and Ae, and it's vital I keep them working and don't encounter any job-stopping problems.
A lot of people suggest Repairing Permissions, but this is mostly useless advice. You only need to do that if you're getting directory access denied or can't write file errors. However, it can't hurt.

Strange green outlines on components when pressing CTRL + mouse move

Hi All
I detected a strange behavior in my Swing application (Windows XP):
If I press the Ctrl key and move the mouse on the screen, every component gets an ugly green outline.
It stays as long as the app is doing the next repaint.
Any suggestions? Thank you very much!

Which is why I can't reproduce it in an other application.Well, then you compare your "problem" appliation with the "working" application to see whats different.
If you can't see whats different, then you use the problem application and start removing components and logic. That is remove one panel from GUI and see if it works better. If not then remove another panel. Eventually you will remove a panel and it will start working so you have isolated the problem.
If you remove all panels and it still doesn't work, then you have a SSCCE that you can post. We can't waste time guessing what type of components and listeners you've added to your program. Its up to you to remove all the clutter.

E-mails with attachments, mostly photos, are replicating themselves in my inbox, 100 or more at a time. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

It is an intermittent, but a regular-enough-to-be-really-annoying occurrence........when someone sends an e-mail, to which is attached a photo of some kind, or a picture document, it will replicate in my inbox, sometimes 100 or more copies at a time. I delete all of them, empty the trash, and will also go to the Yahoo web version of my e-mail and delete the offending e-mail from there and empty the trash. Sometimes worked. Now that process isn't working, and this particular e-mail just filled up my inbox with over 100 copies of itself, even after the other steps were taken. Can't get any incoming mail.
This log jam of replicated e-mails prevents incoming and new mail from reaching the inbox.
Needless to say, am not too happy about it. What is causing it, and how do I fix it, other than to go to Outlook for my e-mail client....? :0) This, coupled with the constant "not responding" each time I try to send an e-mail, delete items from the "sent" or inbox folders, is really driving me nuts. We have a crappy internet connection, and that is likely part of it, but the "not responding" is not a new thing with Thunderbird, either.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. I dislike the web version of Yahoo, and don't want to have to switch to that, as it just doesn't meet e-mail needs. Would like to get Thunderbird fixed.

I have not seen your error in either my IE or my chrome. I do note that you are using a "strict" Document Type Declaration.
You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

On a Mac running v10.7.2, the only way to reinstall Safari is to reinstall OS X using OS X Recovery.
Safari 5.1.1 is for Snow Leopard. It will not run on a Mac with v10.7 installed.
