What is wrong with my monitor photo attached

i just got a macbook pro yesterday and when i was using all of a sudden this came on the screen, and i just restarted it and it was gone. today i turn it on and this happens again. what is wrong with it.

I view the forum on a 30" display. But no matter how wide the window is, your picture shows with the right side truncated and a scroll bar. It never occurred to me that I needed to scroll to the right to see what the problem was.
You have a serious Hardware problem, and the graphics hardware is not a separately-replaceable card.
Take it back. If within the 14-day period, they will just trade for a new one. If after that, they will sometimes just trade for a new one, but THEY make the decision of whether to repair instead.
If they exchange, the genius Bar can help you copy your files, but it is always better if you have your own Backups before you go.

What's wrong with the monitor?

Hi...
I have a Mac Mini and I love it! My problem is another computer.
I had an old mac computer that I mailed and gave to my sister since I didn't really use it anymore. It's a Power Macintosh 8500/120, and it has a G3 card in it. Anyway, I mailed it to her, and when she plugged everything, she turned it on and there is a startup chime, she hears the fan or drive noise, and the button light on the monitor comes on green, but then it turns amber and it goes no further. The light button on the CPU shows green, so I don't think there's anything wrong there, but the monitor remains dark.
Everything was working fine just before I shipped it to her. She's checked all the connections, made sure everything was plugged in correctly, checked to make sure that the wall socket is working, and she even resetted the PRAM a few times, and still no screen shows up on the monitor, nor the happy face icon, nor anything else, just a dark dark screen remains as if the monitor was off. What could have gone wrong, and what can we do to get it to work again?
We don't know what to do since we don't even have an owner's manual anymore, and when I moved out of state, I don't know what happened to my OS CD, so she can't even look up any info or re-install anything.
I've tried searching for a manual for a Power Macintosh 8500/120 online, but I've had no luck there either. We don't know what to do to get out of this predicament on our own, but we appreciate any help you can give us.
Thanks!

Dibujos,
My son is in school in Federal Way and could fix just about any old Mac. RE PC is a recycled computer store in Renton/Tukwila. It is just a few blocks north of Goodwill. Both are great places to watch for good stuff.
Unfortunately, the malfunctioning equipment is in Texas. The assumption is that when the computer was disconnected from power and shipped to Texas, the fact that the internal computer battery was dead caused the stored parameters to be lost. That is not a bad thing, just a setback to old settings. A new battery will not reset the parameters so the suggestion was made to reset the PRAM as well.
You indicated:
"there is a startup chime, she hears the fan or drive noise, and the button light on the monitor comes on green, but then it turns amber and it goes no further. The light button on the CPU shows green, so I don't think there's anything wrong there, but the monitor remains dark."
Once you rule out the obvious battery issues, the next question is why the monitor is not getting a signal. Newer equipment that is Energy Star compliant will go into energy save mode when not actively used. The CPU sends signals and multi-sync monitors send signals. The timing of those signals will determine the proper operation of a monitor. When the monitor LED turns amber, it means that it is not getting a video signal from the computer.
Did you happen to have a monitor card in the 8500? Are all cards seated tightly? Can your sister check or have a friend check to see that all cards are seated properly? The G3 upgrade also introduces new video processing issues so having everything properly connected would be the first place to start to rule out hardware issues.
As Grant indicated, any adapter used to convert a VGA monitor to Mac use will affect the signal. Having the monitor model name and number would help pin down the issues involved. If your sister could find a Mac monitor that is not multi-sync at a recycler like PE PC, that would give her a way to test connections without all the other issues introduced by energy save and multi-sync monitors.
Please post back with a few more details about the monitor and cables/adapters.

I'm guessing that by that you mean space for several lines, not empty paragraphs. This could be caused by any number of things, but not allowing hyphenation, or hyphantion rules that are too restictive might cause ID to be unable to break a line which would cause it to go into overset, as would possibly some combinations of Keep Options if there is more than one paragraph in the cell or if there is not enough room to fite the entire paragraph and you are just one line short with keep options requiring at least two lines be kept together at the end, for example. Applying No Break to a sting too wide for the cell would do it too.

What's Wrong with My Computer?

I have a G5 desktop computer, I believe it's referred to as a "Power Mac." My mom purchased it some years ago, I think in late 2005 shortly after this particular model was on the market.
Info is:
Version 10.5.8
Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Drive 240 GB (127 GB unused/available)
My mother wasn't using this computer for many years, and my 13" Macbook was giving me trouble, so she gave this one to me. It's all been great (she maxed out the memory and hard drive space when she bought it, even though it is outdated and insignificant compared to current models), except for one little thing... Browsing the internet is usually fine when it's only one window, but not always. However, it is almost a guarantee that while trying to operate multiple windows and trying to play a video, Safari will crash. And not just once in awhile. I'm talking about on a daily basis. During regular offline computer use, like Photoshop or iTunes, the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it? I presume it is a physical issue (failing memory, mother board, etc.), but what?

Your computer is not remotely "maxed out" with RAM.
You're describing a G5 Quad like mine (though mine was built in June of 2006), and maxed out means having 16 GB of RAM installed, like mine has.

That's called a Kernel Panic, and, yes, it is most often caused by hardware problems, such as bad RAM or mismatched RAM. I can't imagine how you get to 4.5 GB of RAM without exponentially increasing the risk of mismatched RAM.
RAM has to be installed in matched pairs, starting from the center slots and spreading outward: 4*3*2*1*1*2*3*4
On the other hand, my own personal experience has led me to conclude that Safari is a piece of cr@p. It causes problems just being active in the background, causing other applications to fail.
Check your RAM carefully, starting with just one pair of matched RAM sticks in the two center slots, then adding one pair at a time. Check your hard disk with Apple's Disk Utility.
The kernel panics can be caused by a damaged directory too, so if you own Disk Warrior, run it. If you don't own DiskWarrior, at least Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility and use Verify Disk/Repair Disk with it.
I'd also recommend downloading and installing Applejack and run it according to the instructions.
Good luck.

What is wrong with my iphone4? and how can i turn it back on?

About a week ago, i was using my iphone that I've had about 6 months, no problems. It was working perfectly fine and then out of nowhere it shut itself off. I plugged it in, nothing happened. I pressed the home and lock button, and held them in, and still nothing happened. The next day I decided to plug it in again, and it told me to leave it plugged in, like it was dead or something (the red battery symbol popped up, and said it was charging) and about 10 minutes later the iphone came back on. The only problem was that from here on out my home button does NOT work, at all.
The phone was working................ until about 3 days later the same thing happened to it again, except the next day it did not come back on the same way. My mom took it to the AT&T store (living in west virginia, there aren't any Apple stores near by). She came home with it working again, but I have no clue how they got it back on.
A few days after the second time it shut off, it happened again. We took it to AT&T again, and this time they couldn't get it back on, but they gave us some tips. We plugged it into itunes, and restored it. I was over the amount of space. I had no storage left!! So I went through and deleted all my music, and about 500 photos (having around 1,200) . I now have about 700 photos, 20 songs, and roughly 15 apps. ONE day after I did all of this, my phone shuts off for the fourth time !!!! (It is off right now) Seeing how I have 3 GB of space left on my phone, I would think it's not a storage issue.
I've plugged it into the wall charger, nothing! I have tried to reset it holding the home button (which still does not work) and lock button, still nothing. I have now plugged it into itunes. It says the device is found, but not identified please restore the device. So I restore it, but that doesn't help, Itunes still cant "identify" the device and it is still not on.
I have checked for water damage, and there is not any! I just want to know what is wrong with it, and how to fix it. OR maybe if I just need to get a whole new phone, because mine is under warranty. The problem is AT&T won't give me a new one and there isn't an apple store near me! Can someone PLEASE help?

I think you might get a new phone instead of repairing it as it takes time and you said the repairing center is far from your living place

What is wrong with my Macbook?

I dropped my macbook (2007 model) and the screen is so cracked that I can not see anything. I got a mini-dvi - vga cord and plugged it into a monitor, but when i turn it on, it just goes to the mac background, and will not show the login screen. What is wrong with it?

it's putting the monitor as second display, so the login screen (i'm guessing) is only displaying on the first—main—screen, the the one that is cracked.
restart the macbook and don't touch anything. when the background appears on the secondary monitor, you know the login screen must be up on the first monitor. so type in your username, hit TAB once, then your password.
you should be able to log in now. then follow these instructions:
(bare in mind i'm running 10.6.8)
1) press ALT+F2 to open up displays in system preferences.
2) you should be able to see a dialog open up in the secondary monitor
3) if this has a "Gather Windows" button, press it
4) if step 3) works, you should be able to switch around the main displays, or turn on mirror mode, or whatever

What is wrong with my log in display screen?

Hey There guys,
This problem started occurring right after i updated to Yosemite, which was quite a while back. Every time I turn on my computer and I get to the log in screen where I put my password, half the screen is normal and the other half is black with green lines running through it(this was the latest) other times it is white rectangles with little black ones running through them. Im not sure what is wrong with it, I never dropped my mac or anything.
I have attached an image.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

What is wrong with my 2 month old Mac book pro retina?

I bought a new 13 inch Mac book pro Retina at the end of May 2013. I have been to the apple store and called apple care several times. Now things are very bad. It would crash and give me a white screen every so often but over the last week things have gotten very bad. It will crash with the white screen, browsers and applications all close unexpectedly - it started with firefox then safari, then mail then face book, then adobe and finally iphoto and picassa. I did send in the reports. Also if I had a picture in i-photo my picassa program is set up to grab all pictures - recently any pictures that have been grabbed it says the files are corrupted. I keep having trouble with the air port utility in that it can't find the wireless network and or the time capsuel even though it can be wireless or plugged in by ethernet. I called apple care and got this very nice tech guy and he tried many different fixes and said he thought the hard drive would need to be replaced so got an appointment to take my computer in. They ran two tests and said everything is fine with the computer it must be the software. So now I'm supposed to get apple care to help me try and save all my data on flash drives! Can't back it up on time capsuel cause he said it would just back up the problem. So this seems overwhelming and I'm so upset. Well, then I thought about it and my old mac book in which all the data and software was transferred from hasn't been erased as I was having so many issues I hadn't done that yet. So my question is if it was the software, wouldn't it be making my older mac book do the same thing? What is wrong with my New Computer? As of tonight, I can't even open anything it gives a quick flash of trying to open and closes so the computer is totally useless - so no idea how to get the data off that is most recent. Apple says they cannot help cause it is a software program but now I have a 2 month old computer whish is useless. Any thoughts?

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck

What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

Hello Alex,
It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

What's Wrong with These Rules?

I can't see what's wrong with these rules. Does any one see the problem?
Passport data is verified if
Database provides an exact match for the passport number and date of birth.
Photo matching is required if
Passport data is verified.
Passport photo matches evidentiary photo if
Photo matching is required and
Photo match is valid.
Photo match is valid if
Photo matching is required and
user states that photo matches evidentiary photo.
The investigation session asks the question "does Database provide an exact match ..." Response is True.
"Photo matching is request" is set to true because "Passport data is verified" is true.
Then the investigation stops. It doesn't go on and ask if "user states that photo ...". This arrtibute has the value of <unknown>. All the identifiers (red numbers) match up correctly. I just can't see what is wrong.
Thanks,
Terry

Thanks, Brandon,
Your idea was helpful. It was a goal, but not a top level goal. By checking the data at each step, I found that a higher level rule that was dependent on these rules was the culprit. I should have had an "and" when I had wrote the rule with an "or". I don't entirely understand why this higher level rule needed to have "and" instead of "or", but it works now and that's all I care about.

What is wrong with camera settings -can't get it out of X-ray view

What is wrong with camera settings -can't get it out of X-ray view

It sounds like you are using Photo Booth and not the actual camera app. If you are using Photo Booth - tap the little icon in the lower left corner of the app to return to all of the different effects. Or quit Photo Booth and launch the camera app.
To quit Photo Booth...
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.

HELP My webcam has horrible picture, horrible pixel capture rate, ect. What's wrong with it? HELP

I (try to) use a Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro webcam. The sound seems to work great. The effects I can add to the videos seem wonderful. There is only one major problem......the picture on this webcam is abysmal. It isn't just too dark or too sloppy or whatever, the whole pixel capturing rate seems heavily flawed. The webcam picture (both video recording, photo capture, and everything else) is extremly blurry and my face looks like a moving colored blob. The video picture looks like a tiny picture that has been enlarged a lot that you can see the little pixel squares, and the problem gets worse when you actually start the recording and is incoherent.
The webcam is relatively new and cost me $50. Now this may not be a particularly expensi've webcam but it doesn't mean the picture should be as bad as a video from the 930s (worse in fact but with color). What is wrong with my webcam and what can I do to fix the picture?

I think you can thank Apple for this. See this discussion.

What's wrong with my browsers?

When i first got my macbook the internet was going really slow but then i changed the dns server to 4.2.2.2 and sometimes change it to 4.2.2.1 and the internet got better but now my browsers are acting funny.
One moment i'm surfing webpages with safari or firefox.... Chatting with AdiumX or MS Messenger... and suddenly it just stops... Msn is getting time-out's, Safari says I'm not connected.
But Airport sais it is still connected to my wireless network (with all the black bar's filled). It has valid IP adress etc, But everywhere I want to go on the internet it sais I'm not connected.
When I disconnect the airport en let it reconnect with my wireless network, the connection is fine.
how can i fix this?

Most users shouldn't be manually entering DNS addresses, and those DNS addresses you mention probably aren't intended for end users. Is Level3 your ISP?
That doesn't answer 'what's wrong with my browsers?', but a good start would be to configure your network according to your ISP's instructions. If you have DNS problems then, you might try using OpenDNS.
