42TL515U blacks out when changing channels in different formats

This television is getting annoying. Unlike our previous television, a Samsung, whenever I switch from a program from a non HD channel stored on the DVR to a live HD broadcast the Toshiba frequently seems to "get confused" with the format switch and the screen goes black. Sometimes I have to reboot by turning it off and on and then wait 40 seconds for it to power on and go to the HD station. This was an expensive purchase - at least for our budget - but I am very disappointed. In retrospect, I probably should have bought another Samsung or the Vizio.

Usually, you can turn off a video setting and it speeds up the responce time of the set top box. Try hitting menu - settings - video settings - sd override and selecting off. There are other settings in there but they dont seem to affect the responce time much.

Hanging when changing channels

I am currently on release 1.9 build 10.95. Ever since the software was "upgraded" I have noticed the following:
Intermittently, when changing channels, by selecting from the guide, often the system will hang, for up to a minute, before the channel finally changes, almost as if it is waiting for something to time out.
Intermittently, when I use the remote, the green light will flash on the box showing that a signal has been received, but nothing happens. I may have to issue the command two or three times.
This has happened on all three of our DVR's - Motorola QIP - 7216 1
I have reset the box via software, physically reset the box by pulling the power chord, and put new batteries into the remote, numerous times, and the problem persists.
Is it only me, or has this problem been reported under a different heading?

Photoshop 5: blacking out when I use certain tools

I have Photoshop 5. Everything is up to date.
Most of the time when I use the crop tool or patch tool, it will black out when I am circling what I want to change or crop. I can't see what I'm cropping, I just have guess, and the same thing with my crop tool. It's been happening for a very long time. Almost since I first purchased it.

Do you really mean the ancient, obsolete Photoshop 5? Or did you mean Photoshop CS5 a.k.a. Photoshop 12.x?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:

Popping sound soundbar when changing channels

I recently purchased a soundbar to go with my HDTV set. Experience popping when changing channels or when changing settings in the DVR. Manufacturer of the soundbar says that I must match the STB (Motorola 7232) audio settings with the TV's which is Force or LPCM and turn off Dolby Digital. However, I cannot find these settings.
Take the soundbar out of the mix and the TV does not experience any popping. This tells me that this cannot be the STB but the manufacturer says it is. Any help with audio on FiOS TV would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Let us know if you find the menu. The tricky thing is that you have to power it off from the front display and then do ok menu using the remote. It took ne a couple times to get there with the new box. Best of luck.

To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.

I also have a problem when doing a large selection area - as I outline the item I want to select the picture will blink in and out.

Monitor blacks out when booting with KVM Switch in the middle

Hi
I have attached my Xserve with an iMac G5 to a KVM Switch. When I boot up the Xserve the monitor blacks out after the apple logo.
I know that the Xserve tries to autodetect the monitor. Apparently it fails in its job when the KVM is in the middle. Everything works well when I remove the KVM and connect the monitor directly to Xserve.
Any ideas how do I disable the monitor autodetect feature - or something?
Xserve (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.1) dkvm-4u KVM switch

Hi all
I did try that. No luck.. Strangely enough, I realized that when the server boots up, the login screen defaults to 85HZ refresh rate. I found a site that explains the plist file that you can change to force it to 60HZ. What is weird it if I boot the Mac connected to another LCD, then move the cable to the KVM, it works. It almost seems like when the mac is booting, it sends some sort of signal just before the login screen comes up, that screws up this KVM. Tried updating firmware, still in the process of speaking with the KVM support people...
very strange..

Second screen blacked out when full screen with dual displays

I have a MacBook Pro connected to an LCD display. I use both screens. When working from home I'd like to have my local machine showing on the LCD monitor and my work machine showing in the MBP screen. I can do this, however I can't have the work machine in full screen mode because ARD blacks out my main LCD monitor. This frankly drives me nuts as there doesn't appear to be a preference within ARD to change this.
iTunes does the same thing. If I want to watch a video full screen in one monitor it blacks out the other. C'mon Apple, Quicktime doesn't do this and has a preferences tab just for display settings!
Does someone have a suggestion, work around, or want to point me to what I might be missing to solve this issue?

I understand what you are doing, but when you are running as full-screen the second display is blacked out because your making your station only the target at that moment. You are telling ARD that you want nothing to do with your Admin station. Also because the target doesn't have a second screen, your is blank. This avoids any confusion as to what screen belongs to what machine. ARD is working as it was designed to.
iTunes does the same thing to hid extra screens that are not part of the presentation so they don't detract from the show.
With your Observe or Control in Windowed mode, make the window of you client to fill the display as much as possible. This is the best you can do. Besides, when you are Controlling a client in Full-Screen, you can't move files and such with drag-n-drop. So if you want to work on both at the same time, you need to stay in windowed mode.

Canvas blacking out when working with layers or shapes

Whenever I create a shape on my canvas, or I use a shape as a clipping mask, the entire canvas blacks out and I can't see anything until I click off to the side, in the workspace, so none of my layers are selected. This has happened when I have dropped items onto my canvas and am moving them around, as well.
it will flicker back and forth between showing me the actual image and just being black.
I have no idea what is causing this or how to fix it.

Thank you!!! That was the issue. For those looking in the future who need the steps:
In Photoshop,click on Edit>Preference >Performance
On the right side you will see an option of graphics processor settings. Click on advance settings and if the drawing mode is advanced, change it to basic and click Ok.
Then close and re-launch the program.

When change channels audio stuck in loop

Starting yesterday when I change channels on the HD FIOS box- the channels change immediately as usual but the last sentence of the channel audio previous channel loops and repeats for about 7-8 seconds. Once it stops, the audio on the new channel is out of sync. If I change channels again- it corrects iteself. I can usually change about 3-4 more channels and evertything is normal, however it will start up again. This is not a picture problem- just audio as descrived above.
I have unplugged the HDMI- the cable from the wall to the unit- and uplugged the power to the HD unit yesterday (did not matter) and today (Did not matter). Could the HD box need to be replaced? I have an HD DVR downstairs and there is no problem on that system down stairs.
Thanks

Not sure if this will help, but did you try going into the DVR customer support menus and selecting the item called Fix Common STB/DVR issues? This can correct a lot of audio & video issues on a DVR. You will have to hunt for this menu item since Verizon for some reason keeps moving it around and renaming it every few months. It will take 5 - 10 minutes to run and will reboot your DVR (perhaps a couple of times).
I don't recommend pulling the plug on a Verizon DVR since you will likely cause more damage to the DVR hard drive. The Verizon DVR is always recording your current channel even when it is in screensaver mode. When you pull the plug, it may cause the recording head on the hard drive to become damaged or damage the recording surface since the drive head is not properly parked when it loses power. At best you will corrupt the filesystem on the hard drive. Try the Fix Common DVR Issues app a couple of times before pulling the plug. Pulling the plug should be the absolute last resort.

I have a problem with FF 4.0b8 and Adobe Flash player where portions of the YouTube page or FF window will black out when I move my curser over buttons or tabs, etc. Any suggestions?

I'm running FF 4 Beta 8 with the latest Flash player (10.1.102.64). When I play YouTube videos, the video is loaded, starts, and plays okay, but when I move my cursor around within the Firefox window, portions of the window black out under where the cursor travels. FF tabs and buttons will black out, or parts of the YouTube page (but not the video). CTL-ALT-Del to bring up Windows Security Panel, then CANCEL will restore the Firefox window, plus the YouTube page correctly (ie black is gone and window has been redrawn correctly). I can open up new tabs and replicate the problem multiple times. I've also experienced this problem with embedded YouTube videos (though it's easiest to replicate the problem direct from the YouTube page.) I don't experience this problem at all with FF 4 Beta 8 in Safe Mode, nor the latest FF 3.x.x. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Flash plug-in. Anyone have any ideas?

Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

Black out when screen is moved

My screen blacks out at times when I move the screen tipping forward and back. There is only a few positions where it will stay on. It's a 2008 black macbook running 10.7.5 and 10.6.8 Everything else is fine. Hardware test shows no problems. Any idea what kind of a repair this would be.
Thanks for any repley
Paul

The symptom is classic of a broken inverter cable. The cable routes through the left hinge to the screen and wears out from opening and closing the screen. It's a difficult repair but following the guide at iFixIt if you have the courage and patience you can do it yourself https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Inverter+Cable+Replacement/4772
