Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have a G5 isight and it starts intermitantly with a pinwheel at startup and when it runs it gets a line in some of the windows. Such as if you are playing a youtuble vid it will have a line and then if you enlarge it it dissapears.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
I'd start with safe boot #3 below. Report the results.
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
a) verify the disk
b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
is being checked.
