Q: Anyone getting graphics corruption in OSX Mavericks?

Oct 27, 2013 6:04 PMby CampyOnlyGuy,Yes. This problem occurred several times while I was using iPhoto Library Manager and making changes to my iPhoto lilbrary. Both the toolbar at the top of the screen and the iPhoto Library Manager window showed some graphic weirdness (chunky pixelated edges and such). It didn't seem to affect the computer.

Oct 29, 2013 3:04 PMby kevinquick,I am experiencing similar problems too having upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks. My laptop is:
15-inch, Mid 2010
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
Software OS X 10.9 (13A603)
First noticed the problem when the App names in the Dock became scrambled, but also get noisy black 'frame' around some app windows e.g. Mail, Text Wrangler etc. A reboot seems clears the problem, but it has reoccured several times.

17" MBP Mid 2010. / Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Especially In Safari/Topsites grid/Dock and desktop folders/icons all have this visual distortion/ghosting & fuzzy coloured traces...
Rang apple, Very helpful, however only a short term fix only with a few restarts whilst holding various key buttons.

Oct 29, 2013 10:03 PMby neelunachi,yes, there is the exact same issue with my macbook pro mid (2010), graphics are corrupted randomly. The memory usage goes maximum from time to time...(leaving available memory to merely 25mb at several occassions). I use "memory clean" to free up the ram space and then the issue resolves immediately!
Hopefully this will be resolved with the next patch (soon)!

My MacBook Pro is a mid-2010 system also (Model 6,2 - 4GB RAM). There seems to be no impact on any other aspect of the system (performance is actually a bit better than pre-Mavericks. Fonts render more clearly, better battery life, no crashes or unpredictable behavior other than these screen/window issues)

Oct 30, 2013 6:54 PMby only4ducky,I too am experiencing the same issues. Where as after I did the Maverick update I have started experiencing my computer slowing down and graphics freezing into scrambled colors. This is impairing my business and needs to be solved immediately. It worries me that I may lose data after being told by someone else experiencing the same issues tried backing up and has lost everything when doing so.

Oct 30, 2013 11:39 PMby Regardt B,i have been experiencing the same problem, it always seemed to happen as soon as i shut down or sign out of Parallels.
MacBook Pro
15" Mid 2010
2,66 GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 288MB

My friend this morning suggested that i download a app that forces the Macbook to use the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card. Apparently these macbooks come with 2 graphics cards, a Intel one and the NVIDIA one and then depending on which application you are running the MacBook will decide which graphics card to use.
i installed the little app and then on the top taskbar you will notice an "i" being displayed.. click on it.. you will notice that the current setting will be on "Dynamic Switching".... Click on "Discrete Only".. this will force the macbook to use the NVIDIA card.. this seems to have solved my problem with the graphic glitches for now
here's the link to the software... gfxCardStatus by Cody Krieger
please let me know if this fixes the problem for anyone else out there
