Resolved the problem, in level 1 i edited deamon deleting gdm then reboot and in level 3 i run x server which said that the problem is libpng12 (new cairo bug), so i just run a full system update followed by a reboot and rewriting gdm in deamon and it was all ok. It was completely my bad.

Howdy Sigh me,
If you are having an issue with your MacBook Pro's display reacting badly when connected to an external display, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Try SMC and NVRAM resets:

Installed windows 10 on my pavilion laptop and after startup the screen starts flashing

Laptop was working perfectly fine until I downloaded WINDOWS10. Now it will startup to the home screen, but as soon as I touch a button, it starts flashing on and off until I crash it off with the power button. Same thing happens every time! Is it the new os or do I have a driver problem or a screen problem? It does not flashnwhen I start it in diagnostic mode.

"... I already deleted the software off the laptop, but that hasn't seem to fix the issue."
I doubt that the software was the issue. So why not tell us what model MBP you have and how much free space is on the hard drive. When was the last time you booted to the OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility? BTW, you may not need their software to download pictures to your Mac. Launch iPhoto and from the menu: iPhoto>Preferences>General: Connecting Camera Opens.....

After a time my computer starts flashing it is resolved by turning off Thunderbird. There is no link to how long before the flashing starts.

After an unspecified time my computer starts flashing. I assumed it was a hardware problem but found that every time I switch off Thunderbird the flashing stops. If i turn it back on the flashing has stopped but eventually returns. There is no time link, it might be hours before the flashing starts. It is always resolved if I turn off Thunderbird. I have compacted folders, altered check for new email times. I cannot force the flashing to start.

In System Preferences > Startup Disk, select your internal hard drive by clicking on it. The trouble you are seeing is because the Mac is looking for a network to start from and can't find one. Point it to your hard drive instead.

Screen starts flashing colors, goes black, becomes unresponsive?

When I was using my computer, the screen suddenly when gray, then starting flashing colors (Red, Green, Blue, White) then would eventually go black. The computer became unresponsive but I could still turn on/off the caps lock key. I did a hard restart and it worked fine for a while but before long the same thing happened again. Since then, it was completely unresponsive for a while (couldn't turn it on by holding down the power button) and it has worked for a little while if I take out the battery and hold down the power button for a while before trying to restart it. I've also tried to reset my PRAM and PMU, which seemed to help for a while but eventually this same thing would happen again.
Is there anything else I can do? If I can get it up and running for a while again, what should I do to prevent this from happening again?
I don't have the software disc to boot off of, but I could get in a few days if I really have to.
Thanks, I'd really appreciate any advice I can get!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode

Need help...reinstalling from time machine after booting to white screen w/ flashing "?" in a folder!

I looked on line after seeing the flashing folder and found did the boot up holding the "Command" and "R" keys. I was set to reinstall OS X from my last time machine back up I had on an external drive. I was able to select the external drive and the back up, but when the next screen came up w/ where to install the back up, my internal hard drive did not come up. It is the factory installed HD, not off shelf. I had to plug in another external HD so I could at least try to install the back up. Please help....why won't the computer allow me to save it to my internal drive? Thanks.

The flashing question mark is the firmware telling you it forgot (or can't see) the bootable OS X volume assigned to it.
You can hold the option key down on a wired or built in keyboard and boot the computer, a lit of icons appears and if you see your OS X one, click the arrow.
Once inside, head to System Preferences and set the Startup Disk again. Reboot to test if this worked and if so then your done.
If you option boot and only see the Recovery HD (and BootCamp if installed) then something is wrong with the Macintosh HD partiton that contains OS X, files and programs.
You have a backup of your data on the TimeMachine drive since the last time it was connected, however if you have more recent files and/or don't want to take a chance deleting your only copy on the boot drive, then you can do this.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Then attempt to fix your issue in place
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Or erase the Macintosh HD partiton in Recovery HD and then restore from TimeMachine
If that fails then you can erase Macintosh HD partition and reinstall OS X fresh
Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's
and return files from the backup you made from the external boot drive.

In Xorg.0.log everything seems ok and there are no errors.
There is a fact, that GNOME starts successfully from another user (root). So the problem could be in user settings or some unclosed sessions. Do not know what to do from logs
Thanks in advance!

Ok. I solved this for my issues.
The solution was found on the ubuntu forum:

What I've done is:
mv /myuser/.gconfd/saved_state /myuser/.gconfd/saved_state_backup
Then I had a completely recovered GNOME session on a next boot.
Moreover, it seems for me that saved_state could be completely removed in this case.
I'm going to go try that and see if it works

Nokia N86 starts flashing all of a sudden

Hello everyone!
I've been an owner of N86 model for about 6 months now with no problems at all. Well I don't consider this a problem at all, I'm just curious what happened.
I've had my phone lying on the table when all of a sudden, the screen started flashing. I picked it up and saw this calling icon in the top right corner of the screen. I was confused as it lasted for few seconds, and I checked my call log and apparently no one called me, nor did it call anyone by itself.
I'm providing a picture for better understanding, the icon is very similar to the one in the picture.
Will be glad to hear and replys on this matter

Okay, I've figured out that this happens when someone wants to call me, but it does not store that in the log and neither can I answer it. The speaker will start buzzing and screen will flash but nothing will happen, except that icon in top right corner.

Desktop screen keeps flashing black and dock has disappeared. iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1

Recently I updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. All was operating smoothly for a few weeks until one day i started up and logged in my dock was nowhere to be seen. The desktop screen started flashing black replacing my desktop image. None of my desktop icons disappear when this happens. screen keeps flashing black every few seconds. Also the dock has disappeared.
I have restarted in safe boot and it makes no changes.
iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1
Please help!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.
