Black and random album

ok so on my ipod 2nd generation i will tilt the ipod to look at my albums. I will scroll through them and some will either go black with no album art or some will have album art but will be black until you scroll to it. (it is there but only until you are on it)
and sometimes my ipod just freezes, does the holding home key and sleep key at the same time hurt the ipod??

Same thing happening to me as well. First started with random artifacts and or/ mostly flickering, then black outage, to now, computer won't even restart after 20 times. Usually a few PRAM restarts does the trick, but not always.
This is getting worse than Vista. I'm positive now, it has to do with two different brands of graphics cards installed. I have the Xt1900 and 7300 GT (which, by the way, does NOT work in Vista despite all updated drivers/software, and 20 hours of your time) This is why I've been getting fully used to OS X the past few months, but only experiencing increasingly worsened issues such as the flickering, and now, terrible sleep/restart issues. I often wonder when this piece of metallic crap will simply die for good each reboot!!! LOL...jk (sort of)
Do you all have dual displays who have experienced this problem? I am running those two cards mentioned above, with a Dell 30", two 22" Acer's, and occasionally using a 30" TV with DVI converted as a 4th monitor. Sometimes they work, mostly not anymore.
Anywhow, this is my first time asking others of these problems! My MAC is almost 1 year old now, so maybe time to call service?? Or... Maybe I am missing something, so let me know if I have to pull some other tricks to make this crap work properly. Thanks all!

  • The screen on my iPhone 4 went black and randomly started vibrating nonstip for about 3 minutes. It has stopped and now won't turn on. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do?

    I've tried to charge it and i've tried to reset it but it won't even connect to iTunes. Please help!

    Don't know why it happened, but if you can't enter the passcode, you'll have to restore the phone to remove it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  If you're running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recover mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • Screen Goes Black and Hangs when browsing by Artist, Album, Song, etc.

    I'm having a fairly huge issue with Front Row:
    I can play video files (although their is a moment of hangtime between selecting a video and the video actually playing) and music files (if I choose the "Shuffle Songs" option), however, when I choose to browse my music by artists, albums, songs, genres, etc. my screen goes black and stays that way until I hit CMD+Q over and over until it finally quits. Furthermore, when I do play music via "Shuffle Songs" and quit out of Front Row, the music continues to play in the background and cannot be stopped, paused, etc.
    Is there anyone out there who can help me fix this? I love Front Row and use it all the time and it would be a shame not to be able to anymore..
    Thanks in advance,
    Corey

    I have a similar problem. When browsing music the screen goes to black or just freezes on whatever was beeing displayed for maybe 30 seconds to a minute before continuing. It happens quite often. I am running the latest version of Front Row on a brand new Mac Mini. I have a very large iTunes music folder (about 830 gigabytes of uncompressed AIFF files) running on an external FW800 drive. I tried repairing permissions and a number of Front Row and a few iTunes files appear in the list. However, when I run repair permissions again, the same files are still listed so obviously if they need to be repaired, it's not happening. I tried repairing the volume (no problems found) and repairing permissions from the Install disc but the result was identical.

    I had an appointment this morning with Apple to try and solve the problem with my lock button ranomly not working anymore and a few hours before my appointment with the Apple store i was using my phone and my screen randomly went black and stopped working. And the p.roblem now i cant use it. I tried restarting the phone but I can't restart it due to my lock button not working so i need help with a solution on what i can do. I missed my appointment today because i could no longer use my phone and i'm now stuck using my laptop. I did also try connecting it to my MacBook but the screen was still unresponsive and black. I rescheduled my appointment to Monday to see what is wrong with my button and screen but in the meanwhile i would like to know if there is anything i can do or if i would just have to wait until monday and take it in to Apple.

  • My 27 inch imac has just started acting weird, the thumbnail images and folder on the desktop have disappeared although the titles are still visible. When I open a programme the programme windows are all black and the drop down menus just show random

    When I tried to open the web browser the browser flashed black and white at start up, then all the applications when i open a new window are completely black, I am unable to view the drop down menus as the come out as random pixels. This happens to all new applications i have been able to open. The document window opens as plain white but if you click on it  it opens a document even though you cant see any thumb nails. Some of the documents are open as normal images/files. Having been a mac user for 10 years i have never seen anything like this before, any ideas or suggestions

    I have started running a virus check.
    There are no viruses for OSX.  Uninstall the software, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Especially if it's Norton's.  It's known to cause problems.

    Could be the graphics card, run the Apple Hardware Test
    If the hardware test doesn't reveal any problems, use Lion Recovery.

  • Random black and snowy interruptions in video on 2013 mac mini

    I have been doing my fair share of downloading the last few days and My mac mini just seems to be acting a little weird. What i'm not sure of is weather or not this is an issue related to my new (and amazing) Marantz receiver which i've been using for the better part of a month now.
    So far ive noticed it twice tonight in a matter of an hour. I have a LED sony tv connected to my receiver and then connecting into my mac mini. On the tv screen I have always gotten a little "flash" of a black screen after the initial picture startup on the tv. I remember my old pioneer used to do something similar so i've thought nothing much about that, but now in the matter of an hour, my tv went black a few times after the receiver has been on. The screen will go black and then you get probably 1/4 second of digital snow, and then back to the desktop screen.
    I've always read about the random black screen issues that the mac mini from 2011 has been suffering from..... but heres my real delima...... Since i just bought a $1,200 dollar receiver and my return policy is inching closer, im wondering if i should assume its my receiver? I am a little freaked out about doing a restore of my mac mini to see if that solves the problem.
    I also went into the computers audio settings last night and changed the sound output for 5.1 surround, where as it had been on stereo prior to that. I guess in retrospect it probably has something to do with that change I just made last night but i dont seem to remember noticing it after i changed it.
    So, if anyone knows what i'm talking about, maybe you could fill me in on weather i'm freaking out about a simple system glitch or if this sounds more like hardware related problem. I would like to know either way.
    Anyone with good advice or similar circumstances?

    Well i have about 30 days left before the return period is up for the Marantz. I just did a complete restore of my mac mini just about an hour ago. I havent noticed the problem yet but I've only been using it for an hour or so.
    I suppose using it without my Marantz would be a good idea. If i see the screen flash out again now, i'll try just connecting to the tv and painfully suffer through the audio on my tv speakers. lol

  • Random Visio Stencils Displaying Only as Black and White Lines (No colour)

    I'm experiencing a strange problem where some Visio stencils/shapes are displaying only as black and white outlines (i.e. - without any colour). I'm using Visio 2010 on a Samsung NC900 laptop with 8gb RAM, 1.7Ghz i7 CPU on Windows 7.
    The symptoms that I'm experiencing are:
    The majority of stencils display fine in the left hand stencil window but some do not.
    Some stencils display the majority of shapes as black and white outlines but some in full colour.
    Some shapes display fine within the stencil window but change to black and white outline when I drag them to the drawing (These are typically ones that I open independently of the drawing - i.e. - by double clicking rather than via "Search Shapes").
    I've done a search on the web for this problem and have found some similar issues but none of the suggested fixes work.
    One of the stencils that I experience this issue with is the Exchange 2013 Microsoft stencil.
    I've updated Java and Silverlight (stab in the dark there) and my graphics driver is up to date.
    It's driving me mad now so any help would be appreciated!

    The remove profile worked like a charm with the greyscale images. Maybe a slight loss of contrast, but I'll hold the tiff scan in any case. I-photo would not import the image again (already in the library) but I can remove the profile on the image in my folder outside i-photo. And I think I can prevent it at import now.
    Thanks! I doubt I would ever have figured that one out.

  • Screen goes black and I get steady beeps

    I have a 2004 HP Pavilion a600n, AMD processor with Window XP SP3 and 1 gb of ram. I have no viruses or spyware due to running McAfee, Malwarebytes, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, and Advanced System care.
    My pc starts fine, but after about an hour, the screen goes black, and I get a series of steady beeps about a second long. There are no short, long beeps. Just steady short beeps and a black screen.
    I am forced to shut down via the power button. When I try to restart, the beeping occurs again, and the monitor light remains orange.
    I will let my pc sit for a day or two, and I can start it back up, the monitor light is green then, but after an hour, the whole process starts over.
    I have no way of knowing if it's ram, video, or fans. My video is built into the motherboard.
    I will run PC Doctor and clean the dust out of the fans, etc.
    But I do not have a lot of money to just randomly go about replacing parts. Does anyone have any idea what is the  most likely culprit?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

  • Ipod photo stuck in disk mode and screen is in Black and white

    came to use my ipod photo after about a week of not using it. when i took it out the colour screen was in black and white and the screen is stuck to saying it is in disk mode with a large tick.
    the ipod will mount and does show up in itunes it will even play songs via itunes. i have tried resetting to no avail and my next option was to restore to factory settings which i am loathe to do as i have songs on my ipod that are no longer in my itunes library.
    anyone had similar issue or can suggest a fix
    thanks

    well the problem has been solved...hope this may help others having this issue.
    i basically just let the battery run out, then connected the ipod to my laptop and voila...it reset and all is well again...
    pretty random, but glad it is all working again.

  • C309g (CD055A) no black and other issues..

    Hey all..  Not sure which thing to post about first, so in random order, here goes....
    I bought a used printer listed above in the subject..  It needed a new power supply, and ink, but seemed to be great.  I purchased the regular size cartridges except the black which they had in XL size.  I printed a total of 3 test pages (set up on three computers), I printed one 8x11 photo via bluetooth from my phone, and my wife printed 2 8x11 photo's from her PC.  All 3 8x11's were on regular paper.  Oh, and we printed one of the dots built-in pages..  So if you're counting (and I KNOW I am), that is a total of 7 pages.  Additionally there may have been one demo page (possibly a total of 8 pages, then!), can't remember if I did that demo page on the previous owners ink or if I did one on the new ink I bought (previous ink was old/empty).  Oh, and technically there was an alignment page, so final total 9 pages.  After those nine pages, my magenta and yellow ink were both down to around 65-75 percent.  It sat a week without use (literally, 7 days).  Today I went to print some regular text (black only) and it shot out at me blank pages.  I tried a few more times, and nothing but blank pages.  Tired of running back and forth, I printed a built-in "school paper" page or wide ruled paper (heh, how cool in a pinch is THAT feature!).  It printed perfectly - Course it's blue and magenta, no black..
    So it's been awhile since I used inkjet, but I quickly rememberd the handy utility to clear/clean printheads.  Ran that.  It failed, assumedly for missing black (it had the gray'ish photo black, but not 'black' anywhere on the sheet.  After the cleaning failed, I removed the black, and all the colors.  Seems to be black in there (as should be!) I dabbed the bottom with a paper towel gently, it turned black...  So I put it in, and it whirred away doing it's thing to re-align, and then it told me the shocking news that my printer was low on ink, and showed all levels to be well, I suppose about 10-15 percent remaining (think SMALL skinny lines).  Now I know this is an estimate, but I'm concerned from the get-go that after only 9 pages it was down to 65%!! 
    Before I found the forums, I found a site that recommended removing the ink cartridges, and removing the print head itself and soaking the bottom portion (up to the wire meshes, slightly covering them, but not the entire thing) for awhile in IPA (isopropal alcohol) and then dipping them in fresh a fresh batch to 'rinse' then gently hitting them with compressed air via air compressor (or canned air, I suppose, have an air compressor) to remove any debris and get the remaining alcohol off/out.  I then let it sit several hours to 'dry', which - it was probably ready immediately given the properties of IPA, but didn't want to chance it.. Re-inserted it and the ink, and.....  SAME THING. 
    All the ink is official HP ink (since I'm sure that q is coming), was purchased from a big box retailer who ya all know and love or hate (no need to name drop)..  I'm wondering if...
    1.  My ink, though coming out onto the paper towels could be bad/defective.  Given the really fast drop in the levels of ink, and the issue with black not seeming to print, seems possible? 
    2.  Should I try the boiling the print head - err not boiling it, but sticking it in recentyl boiled water, and give that a try?  The guide that was posted here somewhere showed doing that, with IPA added to the water as an option.  Is it possible the IPA didn't break up whatever gunk might be blocking the black, that boiled water might break up?  Does that make sense, or would the IPA have broken it down? 
    How do these print heads work exactly, or is that the big company secret?  I mean, is there a tube that goes for the inlet of black to the gold area underneath, cuz it's not directly under the gold like old fashioned cartridges used to be..  Is there any way to open up or access that area like, under the metal screens to get in there with a pipecleaner or something maybe, or something?
    And, for bonus points (lol) Why does HP assign two names to their printers??  IE C309g (CD055A),  If my printer is the C309g, why is it ALSO the CD055A??  SO confusing and un-necessary..
    Thanks for your time and patience

    I've had a similar problem with black not printing, though my printer is a B8550. I bought new and have used it fairly lightly I'd say, but after only a couple of years it suddenly stopped printing the photo black (it has separate cartridges for black for photos and black for text, etc.).
       It prints on regular printer paper just fine using the other black--but not a drop prints of the Photo Black (yes, it's full). Since I've cleaned the print head, and even bought a new one, and a diagnostic print shows absolutely no trace of the photo black, I'm fairly sure the printer itself is at fault. It's sold as a 'Photosmart' printer, meaning it's intended to use to print photos--large format too--so without photo black it is a huge brick as far as I'm concerned.
        I've begun to notice from these forum posts that there is an issue with HP and black ink, or at least whatever controls black for photo papers in their inkjet printers. If I'm not mistaken both yours and mine use the 564 cartridges, so maybe that suggests a common factor in such printers that is the culprit. I suspect HP knows there is a problem, either with the hardware or firmware, and I wish they would do right by us.

  • Hortizontal black and white lines across web browser screen that appears and disappears but blocks usually 3/4 of web page, did not have with last version heard it might be my graphics card?

    Since downloading Firefox 4, I will periodically get black and white horizontal lines that cover about 2/3 of the browser screen. There doesn't seem to be any trend to the website or areas it happens at, and will sometimes happen multiple times while scrolling through a large news article. The lines stay fixed to a certain area. The only way to get them to go away is to refresh the screen or if the page is big enough scroll to an area not affected and then scroll back. I've heard from someone that it might be my graphics card. My computer's a hand-me-down but not terribly old so it could be that the card is just old or bad, any other ideas?
