Black or White Dots appear near borders when using QuickTime Help me pleas

Hi, please check out the following two pictures:
http://snipr.com/1q3xv-kzgfh9
http://snipr.com/1q3xw-mmpcn1
The first link is a screenshot of the QuickTime Player playing back a movie, and the second one is VLC playing the same mocie. You'll see that there are black or white dots clustered around the border of objects in the picture. Animated or not, the dots still appear. The dots always just DISPLAYED in the past, but while using Submerge yesterday the dots were passed on into the file I produced and ended up on the DVD disc I burned.
This started sometime after Tiger was released and I can't stand it anymore. The same problem does NOT occure with VLC playback. Could anyone PLEASE shead some light on this matter?!
Many Thanks,
Jim
P.S. I have QT Pro

QTKirk,
Thanks for the reply!
No, I'm not using .Gifs. I'm using AVIs, but ANY video file that QT can play will display the "spots" while the same files won't in VLC.
Does this sound like the same problem? Links below:
QT: http://snipr.com/1q3xv-kzgfh9
VLC: http://snipr.com/1q3xw-mmpcn1
Problem in Submerge (which uses QT): http://snipr.com/1ptx3-itpu2k
See what I mean? It's not just the QT Player. It's all apps that use QT.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Jim

Black (or White) Box appearing on photos sometimes when zooming in and out.

I just recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CC and something really odd is happening: On some zoom levels I have this empy black or white box appearing. When I zoom in or out it disappears, or reappears.
However, when I save the file as a JPEG, or bring it into Google Nik it is OK. It's almost like there is a software bug, or a bad memory spot in my video card. Any suggestions?

Weird white dots appearing in menu

Hello everyone,
I just noticed today that everytime I open the menu up top and rollover a button, white dots appear. Each time I rollover, the dots change position. For example, if I roll over a selection, there are a lot of dots, and sometimes there aren't a lot of dots. It appear to only show when I roll over a selection in the menus up top or in the system preferences menu. They are sometime black dots too. It does not appear anywhere else, so I don't think they are dead pixels. I have turned off the translucent effect too, btu that did not fix it.
I added three photos for examples.
Two images show two different times I rolled over the same selection and the dots changed, and one image is in the system preferences as another example.

Well Buko that doesn't sound like an answer at all but as a workaround to a flaw in the program itself. Are you telling me that the only way to get a jpeg out of InDesign is to first export as a PDF? If that's the case, then it means Adobe has put out a product that doesn't work as it is supposed to.
Buko, you did not attempt to answer my question, and in fact tried to make me feel stupid for not seeing the obvious answer of spending more time doing what InDesign already should do. No one likes a smart aleck.
This is a serious question to the rest of the world. My question is NOT how to eventually get a jpeg. My question is this: Why can I not export a jpeg directly from InDesign? What is going on? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a bug in our version of InDesign, or is this a common problem?

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

I'm running an iBook G4. On occasion, a black and white display appears (in multiple languages) and requires restarting by holding the power button.

What you are seeing is a kernel panic.

Many small black and white dots on LCD

I bought macbook pro 2 months ago, the 2.33 ghz core 2 duo wid 2 gig ram and ATi Radeon X1600 xt gfx card. Recently i noticed small black and white dots cluttered in one place. The rest of the screen has about 7 - 8 independent dots, I feel as if they are increasing day by day. Is there any permanent solution to this. I contacted the apple support and I'm waiting on their decision.

Thanx, but I think this is more of an hardware problem. Since its on the screen, I tried to take a screenshot, but the dots were not on the image. I have searched many times, it seems many people have this same problem, I think its the dead pixels, but this too much.

When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?

When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?
That would depend on your work flow. MOV is the generic QuickTime file container and is not related to any particular data compression format. If you perform a simple "Save" or "Save As..." action that merely copies the data in the WAV file to an MOV file, then the data remains unchanged and maintains its original quality. If, on the other hand, your transcode/re-compress the original data to a different compression format, then there is always the potential for some loss in quality. Depending on the codec and/or settings, the potential loss could be inaudible to severe.

Shuts down when using QuickTime (random)

Need some help/ideas here...
My G5 Power PC dual 2.3 OS 10.5.8 shuts down (instant like pulling the plug) when using QuickTime 7.6.4 but its random... sometimes I can watch a couple hours worth sometimes it shuts down in 10 minutes.
Can software cause a a random instant shutdown?
My temps seem normal vs. others posted here (I cant see video card temp)
I think maybe its the Radeon 9650 (256) video card but I can use Aperture without shutdowns.
At first I thought it was the poor power in my old house (I did just move this computer upstairs) but it never shuts down with anything other than QuickTime.
Would there be something in a log to show me why its shutting down? how do I find the log and what do I look for?
Also I cant find the hardware test that came with my computer (lost when moving studios years ago) is there somewhere I can get a copy?
any ideas to help me identify and solve this issue would be helpful, I dont think it would be cost effective to take such an old computer to the Apple store but would like to get it working again as its plenty fast for home use CS3/Aperture/web/mail
thank you
Ray

Thank you very much, I looked at the console log but its beyond my understanding, there are 960 messages from 10/1/09 (fresh OS instal) to 1/6/10 and 85% of them are all from 1/4-1/6
after a few emails to the other 2 people that used this computer at my studio, it is sounding like they "upgraded" something so it could play DVIX or CODEC movies/clips??? I dont know what that means but I am ticked to say the least..... they like movies so much maybe I video them getting fired.
I am not 100% on the hardware but I am thinking its more likely software and will do erase and install, but anymore advice for tracking down the issue would be helpful.

Export Quicktime movie is not rendering video track, just the audio track. However, everything works when using Quicktime Conversion menu options. What is wrong with my setting for Export Quicktime movie?

When I try to access a picture from i photo the picture will come up and then quickly the screen goes black and there is a white exclamation mark. Also when using faces and scrolling down pictures some disappear very quickly after a brief look.

When using i photo and trying to pull up individual photos - the photo will appear and quickly disappear only to be replaced by a black screen with a white explanation mark. This happens with all of my photos. Has anyone had this problem and if so what can be done to fix it. I did not select this graphic to be added to my i photo pictures - the blace sign with the white explanation mark. Also, when scrolling down photos in faces some of my pictures disappear after a quick view.
Thanks for any help you can provide. It seems like something has gotten into my i photo picture account?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Black screen/white circles in upper left when testing iPad3 Retina app (Air 3.3)

I'm developing for iOS, particularly the iPad 3, on Windows. I downloaded the AIR 3.3 SDK and added it to Flash Pro CS6 per this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4583745#4583745
My app runs fine in Air 3.2 but you can't run apps at Retina resolution with 3.2. If I compile the app with 3.3, it compiles dramatically faster (roughly 10x faster) but when I try to run it on the iPad, all it displays is a black screen, with five small white circles in a horizontal line in the upper left corner of the screen. The circles are animated like an old console progress indicator, cycling through showing one, two, three, four, then all five of them.
I've tried Googling this but if I search "white dots" I get dead pixels, and a bunch of miscellaneous unrelated results if I search "white circles". Does anyone know what might cause this issue or a solution for it?

It turns out you have to enable SWC in the Publish settings for a Retina/iOS5.1 app to work. You don't need the SWC under AIR3.2.

Mysterious black or white squares appear

Sometimes when editing a black or white square will appear over the image on the display. It stays on the image and I can't get rid of it. It is not saved and my image displays normally when I reopen the file.
I haven't figured out what causes this, but it only happens after I edit something or move the frame on the screen. It is intermittent. Next time it happens I'll grab a screen shot.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Carl

Black and white images appearing sepia online

While editing i've made images black and white in lightroom. In my catalog they show black and white, in folders on my computer they show black and white.
However for some reason when I load them online, some of them will show with a sepia/brown tone.
It's only happening with a select few of the images and I can't figure out why.
At first I thought it was maybe a problem with blogger, but the images in question are loading sepia toned on Facebook as well.
I'm not applying any special features during export, adding tints, or changing color tone. And as I said, it's not happening to all of them.
You can see an example at this link :Rachel Mariesa Photography: Brett & Emma
The first black and white worked fine, and the rest are sepia looking.
Any suggestions would be welcomed, as this is very frustrating!

The problem isn;t that the images are black and white, but more likely that they have a greyscale color profile. iPhoto only supports RGB, so attach an RGB profile to the images and they will display correctly.
