Any solution for having daily screen flicker on my 2.13GHz 13" 2011 Macbook Air (running 10.6.8)???

well, the title says it all...I see on the Macbook Pro support threads that this is a continuing issue for that model and people seem frustrated that repeated replacements of motherboard and/or displays are not solving the problem.
I can still use the computer but it is a little disconcerting to have the screen flicker and it seems to be happening almost daily now whereas it used to be more of an occasional thing...
I run Onyx and fix disk permissions and clean out various caches at least once a month...but other than that, I just use the computer for low-intensity tasks of word-processing and web browsing mostly...
just wondering what people have done with this problem?
Thanks,
Eric

I finally found a solution. In about:config, under browser.sessionhistory.max_entries, I changed 5 to 20. End of problem.

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

    I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
    When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
    NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.

    that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here

    There are numerous reports of this issue happening on iPhones. It may be a glitch that will need a new update. Some find that a full shut-down and restart fixes that problem, but not always.

    Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

    iPhones purchased in the US are NOT guaranteed to work with 4G bands outside of North America.
    For what crazy reason did you purchase an iPhone in the US if you live in Greece?  If your phone needs servicing, it will have to be brought back to the US.  You cannot get that phone serviced in Greece.

  • Solutions for connecting dual screens to MacBook Pro?

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    The Matrox MXO is a pretty good solution.

  • Is there any solution for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

    Hi there!
    Is there any solutions for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, there is no build-in feature that convert Office file to image format in Office web app yet.
    I'll collect the information, and submit it with internal ways. Then, we could also submit the feedback here:

    It's recommended to download and install

  • Any solution for preventing converted data (to excel) from crashing?

    Any solution for preventing converted data (to excel) from crashing - file crashes on a consistent basis.

    Hi Shrinivas,
    LabVIEW is getting bug fixes and new features with each version step.
    But new features also can bring new bugs - and not all bugs from older versions are fixed by now…
    The MixedSignalGraph is a beast of it's own and known to have bugs inside. The one you noticed now is probably one of those.
    So it's not your fault your VI terminates rather "unhappy", but most probably NI's fault. You can have a workaround as described in the last post.
    If I have to take same data from wire as you mentioned, I need to save the data in some variable
    No, you don't need any "variable"! THINK DATAFLOW: the wire is the variable!
    I have to write the data to excel file using report generation tool kit or some other way. … Please let me know if I can do it in some other easy methods. 
    It all depends on the datatype of your data. There are functions to save to spreadsheet files. You can save in binary files. You can create TDMS files , which can be read by Excel too. All those functions are really easy to use - you just have to look at the example VIs coming with LabVIEW!
