Why am I having major graphical glitches when running windows 7 on my mid 2010 mac book pro

I installed windows 7 on my mid 2010 macbook pro 13". It does not seem like I can tie it to any specific update or driver update. Has any one else noticed this. I found switching to the basic theme has stop the start menu and bottom task bar from glitching out but I can't view anyhing on the web in either windows explorer or firefox. The funny thing is I can log in and play Eve Online with out any issues. It seems to only affect the window pains themselves and anything i try to view on the web.

Yes i did install it when i finished the windows installation. I am thinking something happened during a windows update

I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
That means you imported one Library to another.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
So, what to do?
Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

Do you need an antivirus when windows 7 is installed on a mac book pro?

do you need an antivirus when windows 7 is installed on a mac book pro?

Microsoft Security Essentials is free and decent, don't beg you for cash.
Just keep Windows updated and don't use it online for anything except for updates if you can all help it.
Use OS X to go online and grab files, clean them using the free ClamXav before passing them onto the Windows side.
When you first setup Windows and have it updated, use the free WinClone to copy the Bootcamp partition to a external drive for safekeepiing.

HT4061 iTunes will not open when my iPhone 4S is attached to my Mac Book Pro. iTunes will start up but as soon as my iPhone appears in the list of devices the program then quits and displays the message 'iTune Quit Unexpectedly'? Can anybody help?

The Problem/s
1. I am unable to sync my iPhone 4S with my Mac Book Pro, either by cable, wifi or bluetooth
2. iTunes will initiall open and briefly identifies the iPhone in the Device section in iTunes.
3. When iTunes starts to read the iPhone (displaying the spinning wheel), it immediately then quits and
4. Opens a 'dialogue box' which displays the message "iTunes Quit Unexpectedly"
5 The dialoge box offers the following button options to:-
'Show Details'
The 'Show Details' button will open and display a list of the 'Problem Details and System Configeration'. To the average user the information is useless, as one doesn't know what to look for to solve the problem. This is a long and detailed report (too long to include in this message), which includes information such as:-
Crashed Thread: 20
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000000006f0
'OK'
The 'Ok' button simply quits and closes the dialogue box
'Reopen'
The 'Reopen' button will again reopen iTunes, briefly showing that it is trying to read the iPhone in the Devices section, but then returns again to display the same dialogue box.
Other Information
1. iTunes will still start normally once the USB cable is removed from the Mac book Pro, but crashes again once the USB cable is reattached to the computer
Any advice or help offered would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Rob

Why won't OS X Mavericks install after downloading on my late 2009 model of Mac book pro?

hi have a problem with my Mac book pro getting stuck on the screen with the apple logo and turning wheel below it. So far I have booted it on repair mode by pressing command and r, then I erased my hard drive clean so I can just reinstall os x Mavericks. I then went to reinstall OS x, followed instructions to download it but after its finished it just goes back to the same menu, Instead of restarting and installing. Anyone please help!! Thank you.

Hello there, ashru.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great checklist of steps for troubleshooting issues with a Mac booting up to the gray screen during startup:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I have a 2010 mac book pro and when i go to do apple updates instead of it updating and installing it just logs me out of my user and never updates?

i want to know how to fix this

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "System Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report.

Premiere causes display glitches and crashes Mac Book Pro 15" w/ 750m GPU

Hello!
Just bought a new mid 2014 Mac Book Pro 15" with 750m GPU. It works fine with every program except Premiere CC 2014. Games play smoothly with the GPU but when I launch Premiere I notice that the display starts glitching like in the image below. Eventually the whole computer crashes and it states "there was a problem with the Graphics." Running Yosemite, CUDA drivers are updated, all other programs using the discrete gpu seem to work smoothly. Once I get into Premiere it goes nuts. I even did a clean install of the OSX and reinstalled Premiere and it still does this. Please help! I can't edit my videos with these constant crashes.

Same problem here aswell, got new Motherboard & display, clean install, no result.
Keeps glitching as soon as I start editing...do you use an external monitor to edit? (thunderbolt or hdmi output)
Cheers
Filipe

How to open a zip file of photos on Mac Book Pro when it cannot find or fix alias

I do a home photo editing business. One of a my clients sent me a disc that she zipped to compress because there were a lot of pictures on it. When I try to open it on my Mac Book Pro I keep getting an error message that it cannot find alias and what program do I want to use to open it. It also gives me an option to "fix alias" but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I open zip files on my Mac Book Pro? I should probably mention that the client also uses a Mac Book Pro and her pictures were in her iPhoto before she zipped them on a disc.
Thanks for your help!!!

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

Yosemite 10.10.1 major graphic glitches

Macbook Pro retina 15
Just upgraded to 10.10.1 this morning. Shortly after upgrading in the middle of workflow, I had a bright pink momentary flash on the screen and afterward, I am troubled with major graphical glitches system wide.
These are most apparent in iPhoto and finder.
iPhoto does not display anything within the display frame. The entire frame outside of menus is black.
in Finder cover flow view, all images are 4x their normal size, so I only see the bottom left corner of the images. Seems like a retina display issue.
Thanks for any help.

Somewhat similar graphic problem with Yosemite 10.10.2. My problem is that the screen gradually goes mosaic with small tiles, often of the background image. Seems to happen most often when iPhoto is open and running. One sample is attached. Been to the Apple Store twice. They replaced the graphic card to no avail. They ran it through the usual suspects. Apple reinstalled the OS, twice, and I gradually put most apps and files back that I need. Didn't do anything. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Why am i having trouble updating itunes on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

Why am I having trouble updating itunes on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

Doug
Thanks for the update.
nothing is getting installed, copied or otherwise loaded onto my computer....first the program starts to load, then it asks for my serial number, then it goes out and seems to check the serial number then it says it can't be installed then it erases everything it just spent 10 minutes loading.
In view of the above and your prior descriptions, have you tried alternative installation files?
If you want to give a look to that approach, please download and install the tryout files for Premiere Elements 9 from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number into them during installation.
With this route, you need to carefully carry out the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.
Photoshop Elements 9 / Premiere Elements 9 Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools
Back to my questions from post 3
Are you getting any Shared Technologies error message any where in the installation process that is failing?
If you follow the following path, do you find an OOBE Folder?
Local Disk C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files Folder
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder should be the OOBE Folder which you rename from OOBE to OLDOOBE to disable it.
When you are forced into a roll back for whatever installation has taken place, do you ever see a message about Shared Technologies?
And, whether or not the program installs to any extent, does your computer have the OOBE Folder? If so, then please rename it to disable it before
you try for another 9 install.
Looking forward to your results.
ATR
Add On....Please remind me....since you purchased Premiere Elements 9, have you ever installed and used it successfully on any computer?
