YouTube freezes, green hue and graphics errors
When watching YouTube, my Mac will freeze, the screen will get green hues all over it, then just graphic errors all over. Any ideas on what would be causing this?

Freezing, crashing, and graphics errors (+lots of /usr/libexec/hidd errors)
This has happened *multiple times* on two Multitouch MacBook Pros (Feb 2008, 2.4 GHz, 200 GB harddrive, 2 GB RAM, 256 MB VRAM):
Occasionally, for no apparent reason, the computer will get into a cycle where the mouse freezes for about 20 seconds, then control comes back for about 10 seconds, then the mouse freezes for 20, repeatedly until the computer crashes.
This usually is accompanied with graphics glitches and artifacts. The latest time I managed to get a screenshot (the computer was resuming from sleep when it happened). This is the worst glitching I have seen so far: http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorcx1.jpg (I blacked out the contact list)
It doesn't seem to be from overheating or pushing the graphics card (my MBP has played games with no problems). I've also managed to kill WindowServer, but the problem just comes back once the WindowServer restarts.
Console prints this error hundreds of times:
5/28/08 8:47:12 AM /usr/libexec/hidd[50] IOHIDEventQueueEnqueue: Error enqueuing memory. (0xe00002e8)
Parallels used to frequently cause this, but I've since removed Parallels (and switched to VMWare), gotten a replacement MBP (for an unrelated issue), and have reinstalled Leopard.
(I've also had the vertical LCD backlight issue a few times on both MBPs - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1423301&tstart=0)
Here are some things on the logs right before the crash:

sadly, I have to report I got same problems. It definitely started back with 10.5.2 and I'm quite confident it was related to Graphic Update or VmWare Fusion network traffic. By upgrading to 10.5.3 I haven't seen any more of graphic glitches and artifacts, but problems is still there, and very hard to simulate.
So far I've seen it only on my MBP (connected using Airport), and not when connected to Ethernet. It seems to be somehow connected to network problems and how VmWare Fusion is handling it. Today, when it crashed, I capture following in my system.log

Surface Pro 2 freezes briefly - storachi and disk error
Hello tech net
I am running a surface pro 2 with windows 8.1 (updates current as of 3 days ago), 4 GB RAM, 64GB HD. For the last several months the device will freeze up for about 5-10 secs multiple times per hour, and then resolve on it's own. During that
time task manager shows the disk is at 100% and event viewer will display 2 Warnings: an storachi (129) and a disk (153) error. This is in addition to a service control error (7000) that happens multiple times per second but doesn't seem to
affect performance. These freezes happen when plugged in, on battery, SDXC card installed or not, wi-fi or not, and no particular program running. It even happens when I'm not using the device if I go back thru event viewer. The 100% on disk is
not associated with any increase in process or app activity. Most of the time there are a couple 0.1MB/s demands like outlook, explorer or service host running but nothing that looks unusual when it spikes and freezes.
I am not a tech person and my online search for help has yielded a wide variety of solutions to this problem that didn't seem to be reliable fixes and sounded a little beyond my usual capabilities. Anyone know if this is fixable or do I need to send
the device back?
Thanks!Not much information here to go on. Can you supply the bdd.log file. Copy to a public share like OneDrive, and share the link.
Typically any problems with format and partition have to do with the storage driver. Are you using the latest ADK from Microsoft? As Surface Pro 2 only supports Windows 8.x, you should *only* be using uEFI mode and GPT.
THe default MDT Task Sequence will do the right thing, *however*, if you change the settings in the "FOrmat and Partition Disk" step, you are then responsible for the settings from then on.

I've been reading on the forums and I see people with similar issues regarding the screen freezing but the sound continues. Sometimes I can move the mouse toothough it usually resets to the location it froze at whenever I attempt to click. I can usually temporarily solve the problem by putting the mac to sleep or forcing it to shut down with the round power button on the back, but the issue has been recurring for a week or two.
But I'm also seeing unusual graphics errors, which I haven't seen others mention. Sometimes light greys are pinkish, occasionally a thin blue bar somewhere on the screen that goes away when I change windows or sleep, and most predominantly (and annoying)a stretched out transparent blue checkerboard over the entire monitor.
To my bewilderment, this problem appears in screen shots. Observe:
http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s227/iDeucer/error.png
I can even eyedropper it.
I've considered the issue to be heat related and am trying to bring the temperature down to 70F but I have my doubts.

10.5.2 and geforce 730 graphics card - graphical errors & freezes
Hi there!
I am writing this on behalfof a good friend, who is experiencing computer troubles, since updating to 10.5.2, specifically the graphics update.
+His machine specs: 24' iMac G5, purchased November 2006 - without apple care.+
He has noted system freezes, and strange graphical errors, such as black lines and squares, since updating his system several days ago.
No steps have been taken as of yet, apart from the norm of clearing caches, restarting, and repairing permissions etc, which have not helped unfortunately.
As the errors are being output graphically, he believes the problem to be the *geforce 730* graphics card, which allegedly has a reputation.
Could you possibly help me please; have you experienced similar, what are his options, is this unit replaceable and at what cost, etc?
Although he does not have apple care, do apple have a responsibility to him, as it's a hardware failure, on a machine not even a year and a half old!
Thanks so much in advance of your help, and I'll keep searching in the mean timeI have the same issue, although I am running 10.4.11, ATI Radeon X1600
Welcome to Discussions, SGiambalvo!
With all due respect, you'd get more, and better, advice from starting your own thread or looking at Tiger related threads. Those with similar experience to yours may just skip reading this thread.
Seems to be a hardware issue.
First things everyone will want to know are:
1. is the iMac's firmware up-to-date? There were two. Refer to this Apple Support article: Firmware updates for Intel-based Macs
2. the result, or not, from running the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test (located on your iMac's grey system Install Disc)?
3. when did this start, has it gotten worse, if sudden was there an event that was a coincidence?
4. if you have AppleCare, what did they say when you called?
got a 'grey screen of death'
If it was the message to restart your Mac, that's a kernel panic. Can be due to hardware or software problem.
the video card updates seem to only be for Aluminum iMacs...so I have not downloaded this pack
Don't bother with it, as it will not allow an install after you've downloaded it.
While your problem may very well be the video card or logic board, it could be the hard drive going out. Regardless which, you'll of course want to backup all important data immediately. -
Macbook Pro Creating Graphical Errors and Freezing
My Macbook Pro is just under 2 1/2 years old now. I bought it in August of '06.
Heres my problem. About 6 months ago, my computer started leaving graphical errors on the screen. For example:
http://www.andponcho.com/minibus/images//graphicalerror2.jpg
http://www.andponcho.com/minibus/images//graphicalerror3.jpg
These errors are from when I minimized a window.
Not only does it do that, but sometimes there could be a line left up on the screen, this happens especially when I browse on Safari.
Another error happening is sometimes a triangle may appear on my screen. It may be a cyan, magenta, or a yellow tint. It happens randomly.
Thats not the worst part. Recently, I played WoW on my computer and it was causing all sorts of graphical errors on my screen. And if that didn't happen, my computer would just randomly freeze. I was unable to play the game. Mind you, 2 years ago, I played WoW on this very same computer and never had any problems while playing.
This is where it gets frustrating. Like I mentioned above, my computer tends to freeze...about 6 to 7 times a week. I don't know how many times I've been working in Photoshop and my computer would just lock up on me. The worst part is I use Skype everyday and its happens, my screen locks, but the person on the other end can still hear me and I can hear them.
I've done a bit of research on the web and the only thing I found out that may be causing the errors is my logic board. I first thing I thought of when my computer started to freeze was it may be getting too hot. I downloaded smcFanControl to control my fans to move more heat out. I've also noticed my computer temp could reach 170 degrees Fahrenheit .The fans do seem to help a bit, but I still get errors all the time.
Is it the logic board? Or is it something else? Could I have caused this? I spent $3000 on this computer. I'm an art student and my computer is my life. I can't afford to replace a $1000 part.Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried running the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test? It is on Install Disc #1 of the gray discs that originally came with your computer. You boot to it by holding down "D" and follow the instructions on the screen. If you get an error code, it would point to what the problem is. Try running it when your computer is malfunctioning.
Do you get the same artifacts on an external display? If so, that would indicate a graphics chip problem. If not, then it could be a problem with the built in display or its connections.
Freezing can have many causes, both hardware and software related. Aside from the logic board, a dying hard drive can also cause freezing. It would be prudent to make a good backup and keep it up to date, just in case your computer stops working altogether some day.
You can download this utility for free and use it to check out your hard drive:
S.M.A.R.T. Utility
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32454
It actually sounds more like you logic board and graphics chip, since the problem seems to be heat related and occurs during graphics intense applications. But it wouldn't hurt to eliminate the hard drive as a factor.
You might try a chill mat and see if that helps with the heat problem.
Do you by any chance have 3 year Applecare? If so, it's still under warranty and any repairs should be covered.
Good luck! -

Message "Graphic-error" and then i have white pages when i look in my pdf
Message "Graphic-error" an then i have white pages when i look in my pdf. But when i look the same pdf in "Preview" it is ok.
I have reinstall Acrobart but nothing change.Is this a single pdf or all pdfs. What version of Acrobat are you
running and which version of the OS? The fact that you can see the pdf
in preview and not Acrobat 8, is no guarantee that the pdf is not
corrupt. It is quite common that what can be be viewed in earlier
version of Acrobat, is considered corrupt in later versions. Adobe
continually tightens the enforcement of pdf standards in rendering pdf
files. This is done for many reasons, but the best reason to do so is
security. People have found ways to use these loopholes to compromise
the security of computers.

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!
The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.
Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc. -
IPOD freezes while SYNCING - and then gets file error
Hello all,
i have a standard 40gb click wheel ipod, quite old, it works, but limited. The ipod just freezes while syncing now, it has been restored numerous times, but 2 not much avail, i can get one or two albums on there, then everytime i try and sync the ipod just freezes, and has to be reset. Every TIme i plug the ipod into my vista laptop it says, the says. SCAN AND FIX, ( because i couldnt get anything else to work i tried this ) and this is what vista told me
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/9118/vistafixesipodlu5.png
i was like woah, so i proceded to restore the ipod then it seemed to work, for a day. then went back to the freezing while syncing, then next time i plugged in the ipod, windows said the disk needs to be formated before it could be used, so i tried that ( cos itunes was doing sweet **** ALL ) and windows couldnt format it, and neither cos HP USB FORMAT Tool. so i reset the ipod, plug it back into vista, and behold, SCAN AND FIX COMES UP, so i click it, it fixes it, but only loads 1 album before it freezes while syncing again, i have the screenshots,it took 11 screenshots, to get the FULL MESSAGE, that vista chkdsk gave me, there was thousands of these "BAD LINKS IN LOST CHAIN at CLUSTER XXXXX Corrected" messages
im currently listening to Three Days Grace on the ipod, works GREAT, except if i try and put more then this ONE album on it, it freezes while syncing, and gives me the unknown file error. SO any ideas if this ipod can be fixed, cos itunes cant do anything, im assuming there is physical unrepairable damage to the HDD of the ipod and will need replacing if this ipod wants to be in full working order again.
The ipod is NOT under warranty either, so does any1 know where in Australia, it be fitted with a new HDD? Thanks
kind Regards,
Hayden

I upgraded to Lion and then all video clips on for instance Youtube freeze every tenth second to buffer more data. I have a MacBook Pro and never had any problems when using Snow Leopard. Has Lion problems with this?
Ulf, SwedenUse the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
