Mask slowly migrates across screen for no apparent reason

I am putting together scrolling credits but I don't want the text to start and end at the top/bottom edges of the screen.  Instead I am trying to place a mask in the center of the screen so that the text enters and exits the scroll from within the screen.  When I add an image mask it looks fine on the first frame, but 10 seconds later the mask has migrated 100+ pixels and the four corners of the rectangle have distorted.  I have not added any behaviors to the mask nor are there any keyframes.  From what I can see, there is nothing causing it to move, and yet it does.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Try placing your text layer in a group and mask the group instead.
Are you using a camera in your project? Or 3D? There are other things in Motion that can cause the appearance of movement and distortion besides behaviors and keyframing.

    When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

    See if the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad might also help.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Extremely dark screen for no apparent reason

    Hi All,
    I've just bought a MacBook, it's great except for the following issue. Suddenly, while I was browsing using Firefox under MS Windows Vista with Boot Camp (OK, I'm a heretic but let's discuss it another time), the screen went extremely dark. First I thought that the computer had shut down, but I realized that the screen was minimally visible. I tried putting it to sleep and then waking up, but the brightness remained abysmally low. I also tried manipulating with F1 and F2, no use. Then I made a cold reboot (I couldn't even see the shutdown button, only some shadows), and the problem has gotten resolved. The screen is now bright, but I don't know why the darkness occurred and whether there is a risk of its happening again.
    Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

    I've seen this a few times. I don't know what the cause is. For me, it probably happens once every 6-8 months, so I'm not too worried about it.

  • Nano resets to apple screen for no apparent reason

    Has anyone else had this problem? It has happened to me twice in the last week. I will be shuffling through songs in a playlist and it will just shut off and go to the black apple screen. It will work fine after that, but I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks.

    The thing that bugs me is that it does not happen all of the time. The reset I have seen mostly occurs in 'Playlist' so others seeing a similar issue in 'Music' shows this is mostly likely a software problem. Has anyone taken this up with someone at the Apple store?
    I will rest it to factory settings tonight and discuss it with one of the makeup wearing dudes at my local Apple store tomorrow and report back.

  • Desktop appearance problem:  For no apparent reason my Mac running OSX 10.4.11 imposed a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side where I have the dock.  How do I remove it?

    For no apparent reason my Mac (2 GHz PowerPC G5) running 10.4.11 has put a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also a band of the same pattern across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side over the dock.  (See screen grabs below.)
    It doesn't affect any operations but makes folder names and drop-down menus difficult to read through the pattern.
    I'm not aware of changing any settings so suspect I must have clicked on something without noticing.  How do I get rid of the overlaid pattern, please?

    Information about my computer is as follows:
    Machine Name:          iMac G5

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'

    New to Macbook Air. Screen suddenly expands to 4-500% for no apparent reason. Have to use back arrow to return but lose what I've been typing. What am I doing to cause this?

    Next time you want to put your iMac screen to sleep, try switching off the Magic Mouse, wait for the notification to come up on the screen telling you the Magic Mouse has been disconnected, wait for it to disappear then press the keyboard shortcut to put the screen to sleep. See if that helps and we'll go from there. If that doesn't help, can you just say wether the screen always turns back on the same time every time?
    Hope that helps

    I have a  iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it

    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
    Power the iPad off and on.
    An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
    If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.

    Thanks, AM_Kidd, I had tried that before but I tried again and this time it WORKED!!!!
    The buzzing stopped and I have the home screen up again.
    Phew! It may be that it had been on charge for the last 30 mins.
    Whatever. Again, many thanks.

  • All of a sudden, for no apparent reason, it takes up to 5 minutes for the prompt for my password to come come on screen?

    When I open Thunderbird it takes up to 5 minutes for the prompt to come up to enter my password. This has just started happening-for no apparent reason. I opened the program in 'safe mode' and it made no difference. Please advise.

    Hello Matt,
    I hope you had a nice holiday...
    OK, so, opening in safe mode does not change behavior.
    I'm on Mac (ver 10.9.5), Thunderbird 31.3.0 - up to date.
    I'm using a POP server. If changing to IMAP will be beneficial please give instructions. I didn't find anything helpful on the Mozilla site for doing this.
    recap:
    It takes 2+ minutes for my password verification to come up.
    It no longer automatically downloads new emails once I am able to enter password (I checked the account settings and it IS selected to do this).
    It takes 1-2 minutes to send messages (no attachments).
    I can't think of anything I may have done to cause this change in the way it works. Is there any other specific information you'd like?
    Thanks,
    Laura

  • W500 broke down for no apparent reason

    Dear all,
    I have a W500 that worked fine for 4 years and suddenly started being faulty for no apparent reason.
    I've searched the web and tried many fixes, but I still haven't been able to pinpoint the problem. At this point I suspect that the problem might implicate faulty hardware, though I am not sure. I would really appreciate any suggestions that could help me figure it out and (hopefully) fix it.
    The laptop is a ~5 year-old W500 that came with Vista install but was upgraded to windows 7 after a couple of months. I made the BIOS upgrade at that point, but not since.
    After trying to rescue it without success, I eventually reset the BIOS to default settings and reinstalled windows 7, and I am now able to use the computer but with many persisting problems.
    Current symptoms
        Slow boot time (4-5 min until I can start using windows) with occasional failure to start windows (hangs for hours before log on screen, but without crashing)
        Initially failed to shut down, but uninstalling the dvd drive in windows seems to have fixed this.
        Black screen appears on two occasions during boot. (1) between the "please wait" screen and the log on screen, and (2) after logging after the "welcome" screen. Each stays for around a minute (I guess they also show on healthy systems but too short to be noticed)
        Windows is generally slow and prone to failures. Browsing windows explorer sometimes works fine, sometimes hangs for several tens of seconds. Launching programs takes an unreasonable amount of time (up to several minutes in some cases). Installing programs is incredibly slow and often fails.
        Initially, after reinstalling windows, it looked like windows explorer did not refresh itself automatically anymore: if I created a new folder for example, it would not appear until I hit the refresh button. Somehow, this issue seems to have resolved itself, perhaps when uninstalling the cdrom, but I couldn't swear.
        Booting in safe mode hangs after loading CLASSPNP.sys, which apparently is a recurring problem. In my case, after re-installing the OS it only hangs for 2-3 minutes and eventually safe mode successfully starts.
        Yesterday the graphics driver failed multiple times, which never occurred before (well, maybe once, and a long long time ago). The first time the computer restarted automatically, and the next couple of times the screen just went black but the computer was still running.
        Apparently I am unable to restore to factory state using the rescue&recovery environment. The partition which I believe to be the recovery partition (it has drive letter D: and no name, it guess this happened when installing the new OS) cannot be accessed from DOS (I/O error comes up, I am not sure if this is normal or not), and browsing it in windows explorer causes it to freeze. In safe mode it does appear in disk management, where is says 9.8GB, RAW, primary, healthy, 100% free space. Rescue and recovery environment does not start (perhaps as a consequence of this).
        Since reinstalling windows the fingerprint reader does not work, and the "mouse wheel" function of the touchpad is broken (looks like the drivers are missing, but I can live with that for now)
    Additional details
    As I mentioned above I've had this laptop for 4-5 years and it always worked properly without major glitches. Then one day windows suddenly failed to start without reason, although on rare occasions I was able to log in after a very long boot (which suggests to me that it might not be completely broken but just took forever to start up windows), but then it would also fail to shut down (hanged forever at the "windows is shutting down" screen.
    Thinking back, the laptop did on rare occasions fail to start windows, but would always start the next time and never failed to shut down as far as I remember. Lately I also noticed freezing on some occasions, which at that time I thought might be related to the DVD because they seemed to happened only when the DVD was in use.
    After many unsucessful attempts to recover the current system I reinstalled windows 7, and now windows is more or less running, but with the symptoms described above.
    I've run chkdsk /F /R /B, sfc /scannow, and windows memory diagnostic multiple times, as well as several lenovo diagnostic tools (CPU, memory, optical, graphics and perhaps a couple of others); none of them returned any error (1 bad sector added to list by chkdsk last time it ran).
    Questions
        Any suggestions/feedback?
        At this point, is there a chance it could help to reformat the entire drive and reinstall windows?
        In particular, I'm not sure why I need the recovery partition if I (1) it doesn't work and (2) I have an installation CD for the OS anyway.
    Also, would it safe to remove the SERVICEV003 partition?
        I've read somewhere that to restore to factory state you need to mark the recovery partition as "active" - is this true, and could it be the reason that rescue&recovery environment does not start?
        Is it any use updating the BIOS at this point?
        Also, is there any chance that playing around with the BIOS config could result in a working configuration?
        If the problem is a hardware problem, how can I figure out which is the faulty component?
        Is it possible to completely disable, e.g., the DVD drive, without physically unplugging it (BIOS doesn't seem to allow this, and even though uninstalling it in windows seemed to fix the shutdown problem, I know that the DVD is still working because e.g. I can boot from it).
        Is there a way to completely disable one of the graphics card to check whether problem could come from it?
        I've been considering pulling out the HD and memory to check if there is any misconnection/dirty connector. Is is even worth trying (I usually try refrain as much as possible from messing with laptop's inside) ?
    I will update if I remember anything important or if there is any major new development.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Back-up your data immediately. You could try running SpinRite or HDD Regenerator on the drive to try and fix it, but chances are you should just replace it.
