Certain option menus in Leopard flicker when scrolled through.

I first noticed this problem in iChat. When scrolling through my various away messages in the status menu, I noticed the whole menu flicker. It happens all the time. It disappears and reappears really fast in a split second (which is the flickering), and exposes what is behind it (my desktop, iChat buddy list, etc).
I also noticed this while searching in Spotlight. As I type something into spotlight, it flickers the same way, for no apparent reason.
Has anyone experienced this problem with similar option menus? I find it quite annoying and I am hoping that Snow Leopard fixes the problem. Anyone know what is causing it? I have heard that it can be a possible graphics card problem, which I am still not sure of.
Any info would be just grand!
Also, this problem is with my new MacBook Pro 17" that I just purchased. I actually have an old powerbook running 10.4 and it does not have these problems at all. It is only with my new MacBook running the latest OSX version.

You may have to place a call to AppleCare support, or see
if you can get through via live chat in the web page. Also,
if you have access to an official Apple Store with Genius Bar
you can call ahead and arrange for a time (appointment) to
have an expert look at the computer and hopefully it will be
doing the same things you noticed acting up, at that time.
Since I don't know if you perform any maintenance or repair
routines on the computer in question, I am not sure if any
further ideas outside of them are in order; it has AppleCare.
Software issues are addressed differently than hardware ones.
There is a chance the issue could be either software or
hardware related; so some testing may have to be done
The computer should be covered by the complementary
AppleCare it came with when new for repair and support.
You can extend both of these through purchase and enroll
of an AppleCare Protection Plan for a combined three year
coverage of both support and service/repair.
This is likely the best path; be sure to try to make backup
copies of your saved work or other things before taking
the computer in for someone to troubleshoot it. Also, if
AppleCare (phone or web-based chat) suggests you send
the computer in, if you are not near a suitable authorized
service center, be sure to make a backup of everything.
This may include making a full computer clone to an ex-
ternal hard disk drive. Be sure to test the clone before the
computer goes somewhere out of your control.
(For sensitive data on a computer, for work, etc, some
users make a tested good clone and then wipe the drive
of the computer; use Disk Utility on boot installer, and
the option to over-write the drive with zeros, & reformat.
Then reinstall the OS X to see if this helps cure the issue
before sending it off. Some don't do this, if the computer
is going into a shop nearby; the techs there could backup
your data - for a fee in some instances - so a repair may
not cause it to be lost... ask about this for their procedure.)
In any event... hopefully that works out.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • In my iPhoto library, only some images appear as thumbnails.  The rest are blank but appear briefly when scrolling through or properly when double clicked.  Any ideas?

    In my iPhoto library, only some images appear as thumbnails.  The rest are blank but appear briefly when scrolling through or properly when double clicked.  Any ideas?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • "Crash" When Scrolling Through Album Covers

    The phone doesn't literally crash, however when scrolling through the album covers of the iPod section the phone goes back to the main menu and everything stops. If any music is play it stops and whatever I was looking at is gone; I'm left looking at the home screen of the iPhone. I'm simply flicking through my album covers, and after doing it for a few seconds it resets and brings me back to the home screen.
    I have 296 artists and maybe around 200 albums. This is very annoying and I'm hoping others are having similar issues so it will get fixed...
    If anyone needs more info please feel free to let me know.

    Ok, turning the phone off and then back on (press & hold the sleep/wake button) resolved it this time. But who the heck knows when it's going to happen again. I've posted a YouTube video demonstrating the problem.

  • Content canvas and  a stacked canvas moving when scroll through the details

    Dear Friends
    I have Mater and Details Block , and I have two canvas content canvas and a stacked canvas, and the a stacked canvas on top of content canvas , and I have set the horizontal and vertical scroll bar for the stacked canvas , my problem is that when I inquire and click on the details block which is on stacked canvas the header content canvas is moved up
    and what I want the header to be stable and not moving when scroll through the details .
    Best regards
    Jamil Alshaibani

    if the canvas is moved during runtime in general the problem is that is does not fit completly in the window. Try to adjust your window-size so that the whole layout fits into it.

  • Keep the zoom level the same when scrolling through photos

    To decide which is the best photo that i’ve got, i usually compares the details by zooming and switching through photos back and forth, but keep the zoom level the same..
    The problem is, in iPhoto 11 i can’t do this..
    Because everytime i scroll to another photo, it always zoomed out by itself..
    Does anybody know how to retain the zoom level when scrolling through images?

    How hare you zooming? When I double click on a photo to bring up its full sized image and use the keyboards arrow keys to scroll thu the size stays the same?  Is that how you're doing it?
    Have you tried using the Full Screen mode?

  • Scrambled sound when scrolling through the library

    After I have installed the latest itunes 7 update, I ecnountered some problems with the sound. When scrolling (quickly) through the library, the sound becomes distorted/scrambled. That also happens when typing in names (quickly) in the search function. My system requirements are sufficient and I didn't have problems with the previous version of itunes 7. Did anybody encounter similar problems?

    Hi Barry,
    If you named your rolls it would have the name of the roll and the date of the roll. if you didn't name your rolls it would just be the roll # and the date. Makes it easier to find what you are looking for when scrolling through the library.

  • How can I change scrollbar colors? It's hard to see the menu selection/color when scrolling through bookmarks, for example.

    How can I make clearer the menu highlight selections, for example when scrolling through my bookmarks. The light blue color is hard to see in Windows 7. How do I change that color?? Running FF 3.6.6
    == This happened ==

    " Is there anyway I can define individually as to what color should be related to each text in ring menu?"
    Well not with a ring and not programatically.
    The best I can suggest is a picture ring, see below.

  • Starting random apps and screen flicker when scrolling

    My Touch 2G suddenly started to launch random apps without me touching the screen. Besides starting random apps the screen flickers when scrolling. Any body have experienced the same? It started about 1 month ago and I have always taken good care of it. I have tried every possible thing I can think of when it comes to software. Full restore, jailbreak, full restore, back to factory, back to earlier versions of IOS, but no luck. It is pretty persistent. I am sure it is hardware related and don't mind paying to have it fixed. I tried two repairshops already and they  were not able to recover the reason for the malfunction.  I wonder whether there is anybody who has experienced the same or even knows what is wrong?

    Hey Kimwaldal,

  • Strange phenomenon when scrolling through develop module images in LR6

    I just upgraded to LR6 and so far like what I see as far as performance increases.
    Noticed a strange phenomenon today while scrolling through the images in the develop module. These are all rendered images with a preset applied to them.
    I notice when I use the arrow key to go to the next image, the image first displays very "flat" or basic and then the rendered image appears a second or two later. If I scroll back the image displays normal rendered.
    It is only when I go about 2-3 images back it starts to display the same issue of non-rendered to then a rendered image. If I scroll forward to images I have not seen yet it does the same thing of showing a non-rendered image to a rendered image.
    I think I narrowed this down to the "Use the graphics processor" option. If I turn this off  the image loads a lot slower but only displays the rendered version and not the flat and then rendered version.
    Turning the GPU option back on immediately does the dual image version. Strange and hard to explain but not sure if anyone else has seen this.

  • When scrolling through IPhoto, others photos displayed?

    Recently I had a number of problems where I had to get a new hard drive and restore everything.
    The hard drive was replaced after I brough my MacBook Pro to Apple regarding a problem with my slideshows.  The music, and sometime the pictures, were skipping and/or pausing for various lengths.  I had tried repair data without success.
    The tech felt the hard drive was having problems so it was replaced.
    After a full restore the slideshows were a little better in that only the music skipped or paused.  I checks the music source and it was all fine.
    So we went back to Apply and our only choice was a Rebuild Database (was reluctant to do this because I thought I might loose all me projects like slideshows and albums.)  Well, the Rebuild worked and the slideshows seem fine.
    However, now whenever I scroll through pictures, photos from everywhere show up for a split second before changing to the correct photos.  In slideshows the stream of photos accross the top are all random from the IPhoto data base.  When I select one of them, the correct photo is displayed.
    It doesn't seem to affect the slideshow but makes it difficult when editing.
    Any ideas?   I am using IPhoto 11 p.3.2 and I have installed the latest update.

    I have tried, several times, to rebuild my thumbnails.  However. after progressing to a little over half way I keep getting the following message:
    The volume for “DSC_3556.JPG” cannot be found.
    Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.
    With the options -  CANCEL            FIND PHOTO     TRY AGAIN
    Find Photo does not give me any possibilities and Try Again doesn't work.  So I keep hitting cancel.  Each time I hit Cancel and a new "Volume for..."  comes up.   I have spent hours hitting Cancel and although the Progress Bar moves a bit, it never ends and usually crashes.
    I try again and it appears that the same volume I cancelled the first and second tries appear again.
    I also noticed that every time I open an event there is a mish mash of pictures with only a few that belong there.  Howver, when I click on them, the right photo appears.
    This is a real mess.

  • Why is there no support for up and down arrow keys when scrolling through presets in adobe raw

    seems like it would be common sense to support such a basic function, especially when having to scroll through about 100+ different presets(VSCO Film). We need support for arrow keys so that it may be easier to compare colors much more quickly. Also the support for comparing 2 of the same images would be even more awesome, RAW image on left, and Presets on the right, or compare different presets to one another.

    You can submit it as a feature rquest, then forget about and go back to your life.

Maybe you are looking for
