Graphic Glitches in Mavericks

[modit]

Anyone else finding themselves with ghost graphics around an open app or their desktop turning into ghost folders?

Same thing happened to my computer...except way worse. Reminiscent of an issue I had way back when in this thread here.

Any one else have this issue? Any solutions?

Thank you.

Graphics in Mavericks

Yes, many who own PBPro2010 are having the same issue. Short term fix is Sys Prefs>Energy Saver> click off and on Auto Graphics switching

Thanks you so much for this tip! I had to restart my computer each time it happened.

Same thing is happening with my brother's laptop.

When is Apple going to issue a fix this problem?

Rebooting doesn't help me

I have the ghost graphics on Mavericks, and rebooting only clears it up for a few minutes, then in comes back. It does not seem to be application specific. As far as I know, Apple cannot (or will not) reproduce this problem. I have a Mid 2010 17-inch MacBook Pro. Can't afford a new laptop. If there is no fix soon I guess the only option is to wipe the hard disk and rebuild with Mountain Lion.

I have been having the same issues, but my wife has not. I have a mid 2010 MBP 15" and my wife has a mid 2010 MBP 13".

I took a snapshot of the issue and just need to send it to apple.

screen artifacts "electric snow"

My mid-2010 iMac just started the random rebooting yesterday. I had upgraded to Mavericks the day it came out.

The weird thing is that I started seeing screen artifacts, basically asterixes that look like an 8-bit snow program, on my screen in random patterns. They come and go, and mostly just an annoyance.

But now the reboots, and I'm getting nervous.

Anyone have any ideas?
