Q: Blurry/pixelated icons at random in Finder windows

Guess what ...

10.8.4 didn't fix the problem

Wandering if it will be solved one day,

maybe the concept of icon will be out of date before !

One more thing : the problem appeared on Mac that runned Lion before upgrading on Mountain Lion.

Another Mac never runned Lion, I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, and I don't have

this icon problem on it ...

On the other hand, a fresh and clear install of Mountain Lion on "infected" mac has the same problem ... big mystery !

Could you who have a better English than mine discuss this issue here https://discussions.apple.com/message/22179760?ac_cid=op123456#22179760 and try to convince Mr Thomas A Reed that we are not a bunch of Mac illiterates trying to present a junkware effect as a bug in the OS?

I tried to make a comment on this discussion https://discussions.apple.com/message/22179760?ac_cid=op123456#22179760 and after making a comment, it barred me and said that I was not authorized.

the utter arrogance displayed by one Thomas A Reed is sickening in and of itself, I'm afraid I couldn't leave a rational post right now if I tried after reading his snooty responses .... I still have this issue and its now 4+ years after the fact (it started for me immediately after I "upgraded" to Snow Leopard) ... sad to say but this might be the last straw for my 25+ year run with the Mac OS once I do my next computer refresh that will be later this year

I am also no longer authorized to view the thread either .... which is probably a good thing at this point

This report from David Losada is hiden and something (maybe someboddy) try to secret this all.

Beware Apple, we are all here angry against you, don't play with us.

A copy of your message for reference:

 

Tittle says it all. !0.8.4 has not fixed the badly pixelated icons many of us are experiencing. This OS is terrible and looks awful.

My post has been deleted. As a matter of facts, it seems that not only our concerns but we as users are not getting the deserved attention by Apple. Really sad.

I am really speechless.

...

Even after so many years there is no change in this behaviour of icons we all need to associate with our favourite folders and apps...which we need in our daily work!

I would like to find much more people complaining to apple in emails ad letters.

Maybe there is a way to step out and reach more people from the apple -community worldwide.

It is pure kinkiness in comparison to Apple's effort in improving the OS and a real eyecatcher for all affectionate Mac-Lovers.

Maybe a facebook dedicated page ?

I think a lot of people have this issue but blame just themselves, thinking they did something wrong

I wonder when one of us will start a facebook page. Surely some of us would need to post screenshot pics on a daily basis, even a few times a day.

I am a real friend of Apple but this issue needs to go public.

Maybe you, Philippesan will find some time and create this facebook page, post the link here on the forum.

Interesting if I just look on this thread here right now...

Wondering how many views on facebook will happen until Apple accepts the concerns of its users.

I have this problem on my late 2011 MBP (MacBookPro8,2 with intergrated/AMD graphics), but not on my 2008 MBP (MacBookPro4,1 with NVidia graphics).

Problem persists on Mac with OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion).

Mac mini 1TB Fusion Drive:

Processor  2,6 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 768 MB

Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

No problem on two other Macs with OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion):

iMac 21.5-inch 2012 (1920x1080)

3.1 GHz (Turbo Boost to 3.9 GHz)

Intel Core i7 (4 cores; 8 threads)

16 GB RAM

So, this seems a bug of the graphic card/software.

I know a way to fix it, just put the application into the trash then take it out again i had been having the same problem with some games and that fixed it

Thanks, but that does not work for me. Additionally, making an alias of any folder in the Desktop shows it pixelated. Eventually it shows OK after rebooting. This is a clear Bug of OS X 10.8.4. No problem with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
