Apple TV 2 Goes Black for a Second, Every 10 Seconds

My problem started when the power went out for about 20 minutes:
- When I turn my TV on, my screen looks fine and I can navigate around
- 10 seconds after I turn my TV on the screen will go to black for about a second then come back
- 10 seconds later, it will go black again for about a second then come back
- 10 seconds later... same thing, and so on, and so on
- I've tried different HDMI cables, but that doesn't fix the problem
- I've tried different resolutions, but that doesn't fix the problem
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

HP LP2065 Monitor suddenly goes black for a second occasionally

Hi all,
I have an HP LP2065 LCD monitor that I use with my 2 desktops that dual boot with Windows 7 and Vista . Lately the monitor will suddenly go black for less than a second. This happens randomly and not all the time, and only a few times each day. I have made sure that the driver is up to date on both computers. I have tried to troubleshoot the issue, but, nothing out of the ordinary is found.
What would cause the monitor to suddenly go black?
Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

Hello TinkRbelle,
I understand your monitor is going blank for a second or two at random intervals. As you have two operating systems getting the same issue I think we can rule out software. I would start by unplugging the power from the wall and from the monitor and holding the power button down on the monitor for 30 seconds or so. Plug it back in and see if the issue persists. If it does replace the power cord/adatper.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

HT201412 I have restored my iphone 5 for the second time now, and it keeps crushing after 1hour of having completely restored it through iTunes. What am I supposed to do?

I have restored my iphone 5 for the second time today, and it keeps crushing after 1hour of having completely restored it through iTunes. What am I supposed to do? I deleted some apps I had recently installed, even changed the background refresh. What else?

Well... it said iPhone Recovery Mode, and I pressed 'Restore iPhone' after which it asked me if I am sure that I want to restore the phone to factory settings, I pressed 'yes'. After 20-30min it eventually came to the 'Hello' page where I had to sign in with my Apple ID, and then saw the icons of each of my apps. which one by one turned from grey to their full colour as they downloaded one by one. After 1-2 hours of having completed all the app downloads, I found the phone shut and could not turn it on with the normal way. And this happened after 2 restore sessions. Is there something I need to do, or I need to request a replacement. I have had the phone for 11months, and crushing problems begun on the 13 of Nov, which was a few days after I updated to iOS7. But today is already 48hours since I have not been able to use my iPhone properly.

I dont know how to get my iphone 3g to work. it will turn on and show the apple logo then it goes black. itunes will not recognize it and it wont reset

I've tried charging it for days. it doesnt do anything. I'll hold the home and power button for 10 seconds and it just shows the apple logo and then goes black. and when i plug it into my computer it wont recognize it.

Does it charge when you connect it to the adapter? If yes, make sure it is charged for about 10min, then connect in recovery mode, shown here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore
If still not recognized, try the troubleshooting here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Screen goes black for 3 seconds in premiere CS5 every time I click

This is the first time I run Premiere CS5... On a fresh system install.
I suspect it's not playing well with my video card, a Radeon HD 4870 with 1GB Ram... Very standard stuff. I am running window 7 64 bit with 12 gb RAM, a week old build. I have all the updates and latest drivers, sigh. After Effects CS5 runs fine, Maya 2010 runs fine, Quicktime runs fine... What gives.
Here's what happens: I only need to launch Premiere, right away I get the problem. The screen goes black 3 seconds before the prompt to create a new project. Once I create the project, the application workspace comes in, but if I click any menu, drag a tool window (whatever they are called), the screen goes black 3 seconds then comes back. Its basically impossible to work...Huge drag.
Update:
The problem stopped after I went into the 'device settings' in preferences and set the device to 'none'....When I clicked on the device settings panel, my monitor went black, and there was a 'no signal' warning that came up, as if the DVI-D signal was dead. I was able to restore the signal by hitting ctrl-alt-del which switched me out of Premiere onto the desktop. Clearly, there is some issue with video. I switched back into Premiere and was able then to set to no devices.
I'm not doing any capture at the moment, but I can only pray that it's some sort of bug related to not having a device connected? I plan on bringing footage from a RED in the next month. I upgraded to CS5 specifically so that I could use more than 4 gigs of RAM and for the new features.

THank you for sending this.
I followed the benchmark directions, and I get an error at the final step
when I run the script:
line 99
Error: path not found
I tried for an hour different things, namely to re run the whole test
procedure, deleting the output files, etc... he script is looking for
something in the preview files that it is not finding. I think the procedure
was written for a previous version, because the metadata settings are
different in my version of AME, and I don't know how much that affects it.
Also, AME increments the file names when it renders them so that I did not
get the right output file names at the first render. I had to turn off
incrementing and manually name each clip before rendering. The vb scricpt
looks for these names, so I understand it is important. I can't figure out,
however, what the script is looking for in the preview folder and not
finding.
After spending almost two hours trying to troubleshoot the script, I gave
up. I can tell you tho that it takes about 6-7 minutes on my box to encode
all the videos.

Firefox will not launch. The screen goes black for several seconds, then returns to the launcher drawer.

Installed Fennec 4.0b2 on my Acer Liquid running Android 2.2. When I tried to launch application, the screen goes to black, with a grey bar at the top with the word "firefox" within. This screen persists for several seconds, before the returning to the previous screen.

Thanks for the report. This is a known bug that only affects Acer Liquid phones. We're working on it, but we don't have a fix ready yet. For details, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606194

Newish LED goes black (for split seconds)

Hello,
A few months ago I got a new LED 24" display for my early 2007 MacPro. Until a couple of days ago it was working fine with the Geffen adapter. Internet was via airport only. Then a few days ago--after getting aggravated for the 100 time with all the interference here-- I decided to connect via ethernet. (The cable runs from the airport to the MacPro). Since I did that the display has been acting weird. While online, from time to time the display would go all black for a split second. Nothing reloads when it comes back; so it doesn't seem to be a downloading issue. It seemed to be getting worse--and was happening while not online-- so I disconnected the ethernet cable, reset the network prefs, and am now back on wireless. But, the display is still doing its weird black out thing. It's getting me pretty worried (way way way too much money spent on computer problems in the last few months). Display problem? A conflict? Something with the power supply? Don't know why, but the ethernet switch seems to have triggered it. Only other issue I can think of is that I had to turn off the UPS for awhile while I was setting it all up.
Thanks for any information.
Jen

I'm having the same problem. 2.8 GHz Aluminum iMac, started last week to black screen for about 1 sec about every two days, duration slowly getter higher each time, just now blackscreen lasted about 6 secs. Mouse wiggle, keyboard press, doesn't bring it back. I've kept a log and I'm never using the same program when it happens. It's disappointing thinking it might be a hardware problem. Internal temps are running as follows in °F:
HD - 121
CPU - 104
Airport - 140
GPU - 128
GPU Heatsink - 124

IPad iOS upgrade to 7.1.06 from 7.x.x. Stuck on Apple logo. Sometimes goes black for a few moments. It's been 24 hours. How should we proceed?

Upgrading iPad to iOS 7.1.06 from iOS 7.x.x, cant' remember the exact version. It has gotten stuck with an Apple Logo on the screen, although it sometimes switches briefly to a blank screen before returning to the Logo. It has been 24 hours since we started. This is a 64 GB iPad with ovewr 1,000 apps and nearly all the memory used. From what I read in other posts from 6 months ago, the total process may take days. Is that accurate? What should we do now? Wait longer? Try to reboot? Go to the Genius desk? Other? Thanks. (This is my wife's iPad.)

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

Playing movies: Video fades to black for a second every 5 minutes

I have a problem with front-row: with some avi movies, video fades to black and back every ~5 minutes; audio is played normally without any interruption. I have perian 1.1 installed and the movie has no subtitle. 5 minutes is exactly the display sleep time: is that a coincidence or something is wrong with front-row disabling sleep timer ?
thanks
cheers

I have this same exact problem. I have a newer Intel Mac Mini 2.2gh with dvi/hdmi out to external hdtv. At exactly 5 minutes on some .avi or .mkv movies, I love video but still get audio. I always thought it was just me except that it drove me so crazy today that I decided to look for a solution.
The video files themselves play fine in quicktime and/or VLC. It just ***** that Front Row stops playing them. It even happens when I fast forward.
As a side or possibly related note, has anyone else experienced stuttering in Front Row on large files? More importantly, does someone have a solution to the missing video in Front Row.

MacBook Pro 2010, 15" Freezes for 20-30sec every now and then

Hi there,
I recently got my MBP Mid-2010 with a Core i5, 4GB RAM and the BTO 500GB 7200rpm HDD.
From time to time the current application freezes, spinning beachball - using app switch I can still switch to another application but 1-2 seconds later this will also freeze.
I also checked the System Console for information: nothing in there around the particular time.
Had Activity Monitor running for some time and every time this happened the HDD activity was 0.
I used disk utility to repair permissions, switched power saving for HDDs off in Enery Settings - that seemed to help for some time but the issue keeps staying around. I also did PRAM-reset, SMC-reset, re-install Snow Leopard, installed all the latest updates.
I called Apple they only told me to get to an AASP, I'm just not in the mood of "repairing" a device only two weeks old.
A friend of mine encountered similar problems on his MBP-2009 a while ago and one day it would not boot up again. He had to go to an AASP to get his HDD replaced.
What do y'all think about this problem? Any advice?
Cheers,
matiam

I ran the short and long hardware tests this afternoon and nothing came up. So there's no detectable hardware defect.
At the moment I don't suspect the drive. Today I've been running iostat in a terminal the whole day and I see no change in disk activity (or system load or anything else for that matter) when the freeze occurs. iostat keeps reporting the same numbers the whole time. Maybe it's something on the mainboard or a driver/OS X issue. Or an interrupt issue since everything that I did during the freeze gets done instantly after the systems starts responding again.
Monday I'm going to call Apple to report all of this. Since Apple Support only heard of this issue from you I expect I'm going to get a replacement MacBook Pro. But I suspect that there's a good chance I'll be getting another model with same issue.
A friend of mine has ordered the same configuration as I have at the same time. She hasn't experienced any problems so far. She's going to pay close attention to her MacBook tomorrow when she boots it in the morning. And in a couple of days we're going to test them side by side. I'll keep you posted.

If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

My Firefox hangs every now and again for about 30 seconds. I get a message saying it is not responding and it's driving me mad! Only happened recently, haven't done anything major to my computer in that time.

I did recently mess things up with a Vaio update and my computer then wouldn't do anything, wouldn't connect to internet etc. I did 2 system restores and it now seems to work fairly well apart from this hanging business.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
