Jittery Flash video on MacBook Pro (2011) with hardware acceleration

When I use hardware acceleration the video either has artifacts or is too jittery to watch, disabling hardware acceleration fixes everything. I'm not sure if this is  a flash bug, or perhaps a hardware problem on my MBP.
e.g. Here's what the video looks like: http://db.tt/Nq1omoX
Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14610722
OS X Lion (10.7.1)
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024MB
Flash 10.3.183.5
Happens with Safari, Chrome, Firefox, everything appears to be up to date, reinstalled flash, 100% reproducible.
Any ideas?

  • The video on macbook pro 2011 with Lion , is way dark even if i increase the brightness its the same , can anyone tell me how can I fix it , in youtube plugins or in quicktime

    can anyone help please

    actually, it looks like a color management issue and beginning to me
    first, the plain one looks like untagged Adobe RGB (desaturated in web browser)
    if you want the true color in photoshop
    edit> assign profile: adobe RGB
    if you want to jack the saturation up closer to your goal (to begin)
    photoshop> edit> assign profile: prophoto RGB
    then
    photoshop> edit Convert to sRGB
    then
    try photoshop's Selective Color (to go to work on the correcting the blues)...
    the highlights look like some kind of
    photoshop> filter> artistic: plastic wrap
    may have been applied (and painted back in)

    No, unfortunately.
    You have to use the proper power adopter.

    Can't have sound on my TV when I connect it on my MacBook Pro 2011, with the HDMI adaptor.
    On SOUND preferences, I don't have the option for chosing HDMI on the OUTPUT sound.

    Do you have another HDMI port that you can switch to on the TV? Is the tv source on the matching HDMI port with the volume up? After checking those try the following:

  • MacBook Pro 2011 with OS X 10.6.8. what should I upgrade to, for now?

    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. and I'm unsure about upgrading, but feel the need to. What should I upgrade to, for now? THANK YOU!

    Keep your Snow Leopard installation and test Mavericks on a separate partition or external drive. You will probably want to have both options. Mavericks and anything else after Snow Leopard has changes to the user interface that many of us find pointless and irritating. And you won't be able to use any software that runs via Rosetta in Snow Leopard. You will have to upgrade software that needs Rosetta to a later version, or get something else entirely.

  • Will my Razer Gaming products work on my Macbook pro 2011 with bootcamp?

    I have purchased 16gb of RAM for my Macbook pro late 2011 so bootcamp will run very fast when I purchase it. I was wondering if my Razer gaming accesories will work on my Macbook with bootcamp, and for future purchases of gaming accessories. Thanks

    Boot Camp is
    a misname for an Apple oriented GPart etc to partiton a drive for use by Windows natively, drivers, a control panel for Windows, and download utility for those drivers.
    You are running Windows natively which is 93% the same as running on most any PC hardware.
    So it should.

  • I have a macbook pro 2011 with 4GB RAM, 320 GB hard disk, mountain liion installed. for the past 2 weeks, it is taking nearly 10 mts to boot.

    It is taking nearly 10 mts for moutain lion to boot. I have used Mactune up utility to check disk status and there are no problems with the disk. Double checked with SMART utility and it reported no issues with the disk. Out of 320GB disk, 220 gb is free space in the disk
    Ran  anti virus to check for any virus relalted issues and found none. I have also checked programs which are part of login in User and Groups. I found only iTunes helper and unchecked the same. Post this operation, i had shutdown my pc and then re-started and am still experiencing 10 mts window for start up. I am not seeing errors in the macbook pro. can someone advise what needs to be done. do i need to reinstall mountain lion. if yes, can someone advise me how to reinstall mountain lion without erasing disk.

    pls refer my previous post, i have indeed checked console message. please let me know if i need to look for specific error message. i have pasted logs below from the latest PC start i did. time mentioned here is indian standard time.

  • Trackpad Problem on MacBook Pro 2011 with bootcamp windows 7

    I am running Windows 7 in bootcamp on my 13 inch MBP 2011.
    I am really pleased how smooth the installation went and everything so far works as it was on my old windows mashine.
    Just the trackpad is not running very smooth.
    I reduced the scrolling down speed so the scrolling with two fingers is quiet alright now. But I have a problem with this touch to click function. Very often when I write I touch the trackpad with the palm of one hand and this results in actions like my text is continued in another line or suddenly whole paragraphs are highlighted or any other odd behaviour.
    I thought to take the touch to click function off but I can't even find the setting in the windows control panel.
    There are only the pure standard driver settings available in the control.
    Can anybody tell me if there is a solution? Actuallly I like this touch to click, it's working very well when I use the trackpad. I know in other machines you can set a function that it's regonized if you put your finger on a trackpad or it's your palm whilst your writing, or the trackpad disables itself when the keyboard is used.
    Is there maybe a better driver for the new MacBook trackpad under windows seven...or do I even have maybe a wrong driver onboard?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi psheraton,
    I have found now some setting so that I can first at all live with it. Nevertheless i would be very thankful when Apple would work the touchpaddriver over so that it works smoother. Its such an nice device and the big touchpad is great but its realy working very poor under bootcamp.
    Maybe you try my settings:
    First at all start bootcamp from windows system, and go to the trackpadsettings. Take out the touch for klick. You can forget working with this as when you write it just hops wherever it wants.. as I wrote before, youre suddenly write on in a completly different paragraph...that impossible to use with this settings.
    Its a shame as acutally using this touch to click in other applications than writing is very smooth and good.
    Other notebooks having an automaticle regonizion function which notices when your accidently put your wrist or palm on the touchpad whilst using the keyboard. Thats certanly what is needed here es well, especially because of the huge touchpad.
    Next you have to go to the windows mouse driver which is not in bootcamp but in the standard Windows system settings and adjust the scroll speed down to 1 on each of the two functions there.
    This then takes the overdose of speed away when you use two fingers on the touchpad to scroll.
    Having it set to more than 1 is not usable either.
    These are the setting how I have build myself a workaround for the moment.
    But as I said...please please Apple work at this touchpaddriver together with Microsoft to get more out of this wonderful trackpad.
    Hope this helps you liking your device a bit more....only Apple could help us further now...

  • Problem: keyboard backlighting on Macbook Pro (2011) with OSX Lion.

    I have the System Preferences option "Illuminate automatically in low light" disabled.However, when I wake the computer from sleep and the login screen appears, the backlight of the keyboard lights up. Despite the fact that I did not ask for this, although it is really something useful, so I'm not opposed to it. But once I enter the session, the keyboard backlight stays on. Entering the session to make things worse, the machine seems to "think" that the lighting is off, because I press the button to decrease (F5 key) but does not decrease the backlight of the keyboard. Instead I have to first increase the backlight, and reduce it in order to disable it.
    Also, if you do the procedure to decrease the light of the keyboard and enter the session, when the screen off (in my case after 5 minutes) stays on the keyboard! If you type the shortcut to turn off the screen Control + Shift + Eject is the same.
    Well, I'm looking for a way to: 1. ensure that the backlight of the keyboard is turned off upon login, or 2. completely, 100%, totally disable any auto-enable the keyboard backlight.
    One solution is to completely disable the unwanted backlight keyboard. I need to be able to call it manually whenever you want.
    This is a bug or feature the same system? Someone has gone or is going through this?
    Thank you for listening.

    After upgrading to the Mountain Lion over the Lion, the backlight of the keyboard problem was solved! Now the system understands that wish to leave the backlight off.
    Now connect your MacBook to the first login screen backlight is already off. By switching users even through the login screen backlight does not turn over. I tested the backlight and is working properly.
    So I believe it was a serious bug that happened to me the Lion.

  • Best ram for macbook pro 2011?

    I am thinking about upgrading my macbook pro 2011 with 8gb or 16gb (overkill?) of ram. Which is the best ram/bang for the buck?

    I upgraded to Crucial 16 GB on my MB Pro 6 months ago and have never, ever, even once been sorry or less than amazed.
    Of course, a Crucial 512 GB SSD does not hurt, either. They work together seamlessly.  Nice Mac, nice Mac.
    12 seconds to boot up from full Shut Down? Too cool ............................................................................... ..
    Leonardosanti says.
    PS FYI: My old Apple-supplied 500 GB hard drive is now separately enclosed and makes an excellent full backup. Using SuperDuper to clone, it is bootable albeit as a spinning disc hard drive it runs much slower. Had my old Snow Leopard system and files on it. Jumped to a clean install of Mountain Lion. Did all this myself, glad its done, whew, successfully. The Ram and the SSD are gems, like the Crucial support people.
    PPS Yes, these were expensive improvements. Ouch but ... Worth it.

  • Macbook Pro 2011, Graphic automatic switch - High Res, antiglare screen

    I have had a hugh problem with my new macbook Pro, 2011 with High Res, Antiglare screen. The automatic Graphic switching causes the screen to flicker about every 10 seconds when the comuter gets hot. It happens whenever a graphic intents piece of software has been active for some time and I return to the desktop. After two attempts to repair the computer I have installed gfxCardstatus and turned off the systems own autoswitching. This has eliminated the problem. But I hope that Apple will come up with a software update, that will make its own OS capable of controlling the autoswitch for the High Res screen.

    Hey andersand! Look, I don't have a definite solution for you but I do have a 3rd Party application that I use to manually switch between graphics cards! It's called GFXCardStatus and you can choose what graphics you want to use from a drop-down menu in your menu bar.
    You're right to assume that the graphics switching would cause the flickering and not something else, and I think that using this software would at least reduce the amount of flickering that occurs.

  • Solid State Drive MacBook Pro 2011

    Good morning, I have a macbook pro 2011 and I want to change my internal hard drive for a solid state drive, which is the model and brand that works well?
    I could recommend which to buy?
    thanks

    Hi Marcelo 22,
    I upgraded the drive in my macbook pro 2011 with an OWC Mercury 480GB Extreme Pro. It work beautifully for a number of months. Then the laptop died with the display issue that is plaguing many macbooks of this vintage.
    End result for me is a big investment in a nice drive, but in actual fact its pointless as the macbook is so unreliable its not usable.
    If you had a differnt year of laptop, I'd say 100% do it. Its worth it. But as its a 2011, I'd say leave it. Wait to see if Apple resolve the GPU issue or if you're luck enough to have avoided it.
    I don't believe for a minute that the upgrade of the drive caused this issue.
    Regards

  • When i boot i get a flashing folder with a question mark. disk utility doesnt work or read my harddrives to boot with. i installed a new SSD and its not reading that either. i have a macbook pro 2011, any help?

    So I came to this problem a while ago. M ycomputer basically froze so I was forced to shut down by holding the button down. When I started it up I got the flashing folder with a question mark. I started it up holding down the command and r keys which brought me to disk utility. Although my computer doesn't read that I have a hard drive to start it up. When I click on the disk utility app, I cannot verify or repair anything either. The buttons won't allow me to click on them. It also shows "Mac OSX Base System" which shows I have files and what not saved. I had been told that I need a new hard drive so I bought and manually installed a OWC SSD 240GB drive and when i booted the computer up it booted up yo the operating system fine with all my files and what not on there. After about twenty minutes, it froze again. I forced a shut down, restarted and the same thing happened. I am not able to choose my SSD to boot up, although thats probably because it doesn't have an operating system installed on it??
    i have a Macbook Pro 13" 2011
    any help would be great, I'm overall confused.

    ryansaint11,
    this isn’t Apple support; this is a user-to-user forum. We’re just fellow users of Apple products here.
    If you want to boot from your SSD, then you should put the SSD where your HDD currently is, and put the HDD into the optical bay. (That setup will also get you the best performance.) At the moment, you’re still booting from your HDD. Note that you will need to format your SSD in Disk Utility [with the “Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)” format] so that you can install OS X onto it.
    Since you have an Early 2011 model, it might or might not have originally come with grey installation DVDs. You will be able to find out whether it did or not by trying to use OS X Internet Recovery to install OS X onto your SSD. If it does not work, or if the installed OS turns out to be Snow Leopard, then it will have originally come with the DVDs, and you should purchase a replacement pair of DVDs from Apple or iFixit; those discs will have your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test and its iLife apps. If the installed OS turns out to be Lion, then it will not originally have come with the grey installation DVDs, and your Apple Hardware Test will be installed along with Lion, and your iLife apps will be downloadable from the Mac App Store.
