Arrow Using MacBook Pro ** Having Problems with flashing graphics...

Someone please help!
I just got a new MacBook Pro....and just in case it matters, it is version 10.4.10 with a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM...
I downloaded TT and the graphics were all wonky...things flashing from their normal color to a blue color...the ground in Daisy's Garden is blue...
It is driving me crazy. I sent a bug report but was only told to uninstall and reinstall TT which I have done twice already.
I just downloaded the latest version of flash player so I am not sure what else I need to do!
Is anyone else using the same type of Mac and do you have any issues?
I have never owned a Mac before so this whole thing is new to me.

It is so frustrating to have people asking for my help etc and I am trying to figure out this new computer and how to move and see my TT and my gags etc and I can't just type: "Hang on I have a new computer and I can't figure it out!!! LOL" I also need a phrase that says "Hang on, I need to get the kids outta the tub!"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm...I have a mac and it works fine. It is the same specs as yours. It is probably the computer, though since macs are so reliable I don't know what to say. Just call customer service, and if they even answer, tell them your problem and see if they can help. The number is in the FAQ. Just trying to find this out for you!

P.S. Sorry if I sound like one of the automated Bug Reports!


P.P.S. EDIT: if you hold down fn and press and hold left, you see gags, right, you see TTasks, and up and down are like Page Up and Page Down. Ctrl, if you hold it down, keeps you jumping.

I have a MacBook Pro which I got earlier this year in March and it works great with Toontown, no graphics problem. Then I bought my husband a new MacBook Pro over the summer and his has the same graphics problems you mentioned. The newer MacBook Pros which came out during summer 2007 have faster processors, but have a different graphics card as the model before it. I was told that the graphic cards in the lastest MacBook Pros (such as yours and my husbands) are better than the ones they were putting in before.

See if you can update your drivers

I know with Vista i can go to the System area (Where it shows the system info) and i find my video card (Nvidia Geforce GO7600) i can right click on it and say, Update drivers.

I have the same problem

I thought it was just me.

It's a nightmare when you're playing the swimming game and the whole screen is going flashflashflashflash!

I didn't complain and put up with it because I assumed my lappie wasn't able to display Toontown's graphics properly, since everything else I've downloaded/played works fine.

Just to clarify, Sherri, is your graphics card(?) a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT?

Apple recently released a Graphics Card update to address some issues with the Macbook Pro (the 2.2/2.4 Ghz versions) and it's graphics card. You can download it by using this link...

If you already have this update and are experiencing issues, please let me know so I can see if I can help you further.

I just realized something...

My friend tried TT after much persuasion, and when he downloaded it and ran it his screen went black and TT didn't come up...This was on an (unreliable) PC...This definitely is not a coincedince.


EDIT: Leenie, I got mine in june of last year. Same thing. Maybe it is that, or the Core 2 duo and not core 2 intel processors.

I am having the exact same problem, and I have a brand-new MacBook Pro, too! Apparently, the graphics card is the problem, right?

Has anyone found a fix, yet?

OOPS! The ones bought earlier have intel Core Duo (not Core 2, that was wrong) and they work fine in TT. Must be that "2".

Are there really macs that don't have graphics problems? We've run Toon Town on several different Macs and every one has had the problem.

I have had minor graphics issues with Pirates after I upgraded my iMac to Leopard, but no problems on TT.

Not to be a bother, but has anybody found out anything that could possibly help this problem? The blue is driving me insane...

You and me both, Spunky.

Our only option, I think, is to pester Disney with it and link back to this thread in an email. . .
