I have a G5 with 10.4.11. Yesterday i started to get black outlined boxes around windows, like icons on the desktop, when you click on it, a solid lined black box appears around the icon,
as well, in adobe acrobat, when i attempt to close the program, the red x does not work, so i have to use the apple Q combination.
The last few days I've been experiencing a problem with my MBPr screen. I can "see" every pixel/pixel outline on the screen. It looks like I'm running a really low resolution but zoomed in. My screen has always been very clear and smooth, with no pixels visible. Is there something wrong with my screen/GPU? I can't be more specific, but I don't know how to explain it. It pretty much looks like the screen was put together by small building blocks. It is especially visible on white background. The pixels appear to have a black "outline".

Just installed Office 2004 on my powerbook - opened up a presentation I have been working on - only to find that all the images I had inserted into the presentation are now black boxes. Even when I re-insert the image, I still get a black box?
Anyone have any ideas on what is going on and how to fix it? Luckily it still works on my Vaio, but I'd really like to move all my work over to the powerbook.
I have these black boxes around my active pages, I looked online for pointers but they all pointed to me disabling my voice-over in the universal access option on system preferences. My voice-over wasn't enabled and the boxes are still here

I've been creating outlines in Pages and it would be easy to be able to hide some of the information when i dont need to see it.. is there any app that allows me to hide some parts of the outline?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis only happens when I choose to boot into windows. The screen sort of hangs for about 20 seconds in a black screen with an underscore at the top left corner before even starting to boot into windows. I know its normal for this to happen for like 5 seconds tops, but this is happening for about 20 seconds and its dreadful trying to boot into Windows 7 because it takes so long. When windows is done starting up i don't even get any messages saying startup failed or something like that. This is so annoying that I even reinstalled everything but the same thing happened.

Can someone tell me where I might be able to get a good quality line drawing (outline) of the apple logo in vector format? I have attached a small copy of what I need but I need something I can scale to about 3/4' to 1" (a little bigger than it is) without jaggies.

It has 2 identical 500GB hard drives which should be mirroring each other so that in case 1 fails I have a backup. From what I read seems I need to enable RAID 0. This system brings no optical drive so I have to network a iMac to this machine to install the necessary software I will have on the server. Can anyone outline the steps to do this properly?

When I open the file in CS3 the fonts are missing.
the fonts are:
ITC Esprit
EspriMed
EspriBoo
EspriBolIta
EspriBol
EspriBla
I have upgraded recently with Snow Leopard and my printers wont work. Could this be why the fonts won't load?
I have a MAC OSX 10.6.8. My images aren't always opening up and sometimes the pages openup in an outline fashion without all the images. Sometimes it doesn't open at all and I get a message that "safari can't open the page".......this has been happening a lot within the last week. What can I do to fix this?

Some time today, my iMac started displaying some type of outline in the background. I bought it in December, and I've never had any issues with it until today.What the outline is? I heard it might be dead pixels, but I honestly have no clue. I just checked the screen again and it's normal now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to link the position of an object to another object like this
- Source Parameter = Object.Shape.Outline.Last Point Offset
- Apply To = Properties.Transform.Position.Y
I make all the linkings and the result animation is wrong. I want the linked element to have the same position as the source element.The linked element totals is position with the source's position and animation is not what I want.
I just bought a PowerBook G4 off of craigslist today. 1.67GHz G4 processor, 15" screen, etc etc. The battery shows 99%, and when I unplug it I can count one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four.. oops, it's dead. In the menu bar I can see it recognizing that it's switched to battery a split second before the screen goes black.
An excerpt from System Profiler, leading me to believe the battery is fine:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mWh): 3615
Remaining Capacity (mWh): 3587

I got my Macbook in January of last year, and things were working (for the most part) fine until earlier today. Currently, I am writing this on my PC.
My screen won't work. It's completely black, and won't show me anything. It's not the brightness - it LITERALLY looks as though it is off. If I hit the volume buttons, I can hear the little noises it makes, and if I just hit the power button and then "enter", it turns off, so I know the display is there, I just can't see it. Even the little light on the front of the Mac (the one this is supposed to blink when it is in sleep mode) won't blink, and remains on when it is closed.
I am beyond frusterated! Can anyone out there help me? It would be GREATLY appreciated.
I've reseated memory and my hard drive, but still if I bump it freezes or black screens. I'm going to pickup an external hard drive to backup my data, because this is scaring the crap out of me.

-As color is not an issue, only sharpness - would a mac display be over-kill? What are the decent, cheap rivals? Would an lcd tv be ok?
-Also, what chance I can use one in portrait mode, driven by my mbp?
my MBP is really screwing up these days. Basically the best way I can describe it is that randomly once in awhile (no matter what I'm doing, usually surfing the net) the screen flickers a few times, then most of it turns black (except usually for a small part on top that stays on whatever it was displaying before). The section between the part that stayed the same and the bottom is sort of "multicolored".
The computer does not respond to anything except holding the power button down for 5 seconds until it shuts off. If I try to adjust brightness or sound level, nothing happens. Anyway, I took it in to apple and they claimed it was the motherboard, so they replaced it. But today I had the problem again! What else could it even be? Any chance its the RAM/screen/hard drive?
My ibook screen has been spontaneously and arbitrarily going black. I reinstalled the operating system and now Safari crashes every time I try to open it. Several other programs will not open including adobe and iTunes now says "You cannot use the application iTunes with this version of Mac OS" I also noticed that about this mac now says I'm running 10.4.2. when I had 10.4.11. I was prompted to install some updates a few hours after the reinstall. The screen is still randomly going black after the reinstall.

When I pull the cable out of the usb port on the imac, the computer screen comes on and then I reinsert the cable back into the usb port in the computer to use the wired mouse (wired mouse works fine after I reinsert the cable back into the usb port).Could this problem be associated with the wired mouse or with the usb ports on the imac?

View 7 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know or have the same problem where pressing the F7, F8, F9 keys (which are previous, stop/pause, and forward) doesn't work in iTunes unless iTunes is the "active" window? I know that in OS X that if i pressed those buttons, it would do it even if I was in another application, but in the Windows 7 version it won't do it if another application is "active." Also, the same applies to the Apple Remote.

Running with 10.5.8 version. This problem that I get, and can't pass beyond it, is that I get black screen with a little white line in the left-upper corner of the screen. I have tryed to let it hang for 20 min, but nothing happens.
What have i done:
1. Boot Camp 32GB space.
2. Disk Util -> inspect the memory, reparing the harddrive, analyzing alle the things I can in Disc Util.
3. Format the partation og make new.Nothing has halped me.. I'm stuck and can't do anyting.
I'm having the late 2009 Macbook. Trying to find out if bootcamp with XP Black Editions will work.
So i installed windows 7 on my macbook (not aluminum) and when i go to install the boot camp drivers off of the retail leopard CD i get an error that says that I can't because it only installs on vista or XP. My laptop came with Tiger CD's so i can't get them off of there.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was able to get Windows Vista 64 running on my 17" MBP, it is pretty slick. I set aside 32 GB for Windows, ran the install, loaded all the appropriate Boot Camp drivers and everything is working perfectly in Windows. I boot back to OS X to attempt to configure Parallels...
So I fired up Parallels and follow the guided instructions. However, when I get to step 2 Im not sure what I should be doing. I already have Windows on its own partition, but Parallels is asking me for a CD/DVD image. Im a little leery of putting the Win disc back in, I dont want Parallels to always want to boot from the disc. how do I tell Parallels to load Windows as a Virtual Machine off of the Boot Camp partition?
The partition Boot Camp created now appears on my Desktop in OS X as Untitled, I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to change that. If I eject that volume will I still be able to Boot to Windows? Will Parallel still work?
