Annoying problem: Trying to get rid of any frame containing these constant-grey artifact rectangles.

Hello.
I have recorded my screen in crisp 60 FPS as I walk around in a "Google Street View"-like service (where you see streets as photos from a first-person view). Each time I "walk" in this virtual world they have created, there is a brief frame in between the two clear images that has big artifacts in the form of grey boxes. Luckily, this seems to be the same constant exact color at all times. This makes me think that this can be fixed somehow, easily.
The artifacted frames look like this: http://i.imgur.com/7yYpDrn.png
Now, I'm asking you video experts if you can think of a sane way by which I can either simply remove any such frame from my video (perhaps by looking for the existence of a small image that's just a 32x32 px grey box), or to paint any such frame's grey pixels with the pixels of the last frame, or the next frame. Either of those solutions would solve my problem. Whatever is more realistic is fine with me. Point is: I want to get rid of those ugly grey boxes/artifacts!
Please note that these are NOT artifacts caused by the video capture (which is unbelievably crisp and perfect!), but rather the in-browser JavaScript application having this bug and there is nothing that can be done about that.
I'd be very happy to get this solved, because the end result will be amazing as I speed it up and there are no ugly grey rectangles making you dizzy.
(The blue and orange circles are not a problem, but rather indicators of where you can go.)

Ann is the most helpful person here - I would be nice to her ;-)
Not clear from the post - are you saying that the gray boxes appear "every other frame"? If they are "once in a while", then I would just cut them, but I understand if they are constant that you need an automated method then to address this.
If every other frame, try putting the 60p footage into a 30p sequence, which will play half the frames, which could therefore eliminate the bad frames? If that doesn't work initially, then trim 1 frame from beginning. Just a guess...could work.
Good luck
Jeff

Trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper

trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper ad - after I install what I thought was an update since I already had MacKeeper, it would not allow me to continue without buying the new one. Make a long story short I switch to Firefox and deleted as much as I could of Safari (files, preferences etc) Now I'm at OS Yosemite X 10.10.2 and would like to get Safari up and running again - I've searched for Adware in applications etc but could not find it. Found what to do from the community, but before I go that route...Do I have to know where or if I actually have this spyware?    And if I were to reinstall Maveric - would my files and such be undisturbed? so that only Safari would be replaced?    I"M LOST .... (as if you couldn't tell)
I've been working with Mac for 30 years or more and although I'm hands on taught the only thing I lack is the newer "buzz words" so if you can help me out - please make it simple ?? thanks

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Akeenleyside,
Are you removing your Apple software in an attempt to update to iTunes 10.5? I ask this because I am getting the same message when trying to install iTunes 10.5.

Just cahnge the e-mail account asssociated with the account. There was no need to start another account.
You cannot delete and account, nor would you want to. All purchases made with an account will always be tied to that account.

Do you mean that the reset link won't show on your account or that the email doesn't arrive on your rescue email address ?
The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions), or you aren't receiving the email to it (you've checked the spam folder on the account and tried clicking the reset link again) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

That's not how it works. Once a device (including a computer) is associated with an Apple ID it cannot be switched for 90 days. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420.

Your phone is toast. Contrary to what the lovely folks in the jalibreaking community say, attempting to restore the iPhone to "factory" condition does not always remove the jailbreak. You'll need to contact those bozos and see if they can help you.
Hint: start saving for a new phone.

How to get rid off 'long frames'

when I import a movie into FCP and I use the tool 'long frames: mark';
marks many long frames in parts of the movie.
how to get rid off 'long frames'?
thanks

Long frames are frames whose duration is too long... however sometimes it doesn't matter as you don't see the problem in playback, so if you don't see a jitter there or something, I'd not worry about them.
Dropped frames are frames that are OK, however (usually) your drives can't play them back because they are too slow... they drop a frame to get to the next... this will look worse than long frames do usually.
All that said, if you don't see a problem, you don't have one. Dropping frames is worse though, and I'd suggest that you keep these media files on a fast drive system other than your startup disk. The data rate of the video will determine whether or not you need to use faster disk drives. SATA internals for example will handle 8 bit uncompressed files, but not 10 bit... FW drives range a lot in what they can handle, and the spec should always be MUCH faster than what the data rate actually is. For example, I use G-Raids for 8 bit uncompressed, and 4 gig fibre channel array for HD files. But FW 400 and 800 single drives work great all day long for DV res files, and the fastest of the 800's will handle 8 bit uncompressed if you don't fill them to the brim.

Trying to get rid of malware show password, any suggestions??

Somehow got infected with this malware "show password" I tried disabling it. no help.. tried removing firefox and reinstalling it.. no help.. tried resetting to default values.. no help When I tried deleting and reinstalling I deleted the folders in c/program (x86) files/mozilla.. still no help.. How do I get rid of this thing?? Thanks Don Sutherland

If there is not a Remove button for it on the Add-ons page, Firefox may be finding it in one of three places:
(1) The shared extensions folder in the Program Files path - you already cleared this by deleting the entire set of folders.
(2) A little-used shared Extensions folder here (type or paste this into the Start menu search box and press Enter):
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Extensions\
(3) A registry entry created by the program's installer
Usually the first step is to uninstall the culprit, if you haven't already. Open the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to search for bundled items that may not have an obvious name. Remove anything unrecognized or untrusted.
If the uninstaller doesn't clean out the reference in the registry (Firefox may not check until the next startup), some manual digging might be required.
Any luck tracking it down?
