"Confetti" appears in Firefox, animates with mouse movement over links. What's the problem?
There are bits of "confetti" that appear all over the Firefox window and change positions/color/shape whenever something on the window changes or is animated (mousing over links, allowing a cursor to blink, active video in the window.) Colors vary from blues, brown, purple, pink, and reds.
I've noticed that this problem does not replicate in other web browsers (others being IE and Chrome). I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but that does not appear to solve the problem.
This problem only occurred after watching "The Daily Show" today and has been persistent since, even on other websites with video. (Sorry John Oliver, I wish it was something else.) However, there are no "confetti" effects if I activate the video to full screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Weird display artifacts immediately make me think of possible graphic driver incompatibilities. Not sure why results would differ between embedded Flash and full screen, but... I suggest disabling hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and, if that doesn't help, in Flash.
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Any improvement?

I have a non intel G5 and would like to download i-tune songs that I have recently purchased. I have tried everything and can't find the downloads. Did this G5 just become obsolete with itunes? If not what is the problem?
You can do it with Leopard but it depends upon the iTunes version which you did not reveal. Also make sure you are looking in the right place for purchases.
Consider buying a backup drive so you do not need to do this again. If you are going to run old hardware and software you need to live differently because yes, at some time you will find your version of iTunes no longer works. You're lucky it still works with Leopard. As you can see, some versions still work with the iTunes Store but not for repeat downloading.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/26364186#26364186)
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -

As soon as I launch Firefox, parts or all of the screen will go black as if wholly highlighted in black. You cannot see anything or do anything until the screen or the blackening disappears! Typing this report is taking long minutes because I have to wait for blackness to clear between keystrokes!
what might be the cause? And what can I do about it? The older versions of Firefox did not do this. It began when I installed the present version (7.0.1). Though I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, the problem persists!You may have '''Switched ON Caret Browsing'''. press '''F7 (on Mac: fn + F7)''' to toggle '''Caret Browsing ON/OFF'''
* click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General -> remove
Checkmark from '''Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages'''

I am unable to attach/send a 2486KB file when using Firefox browser. I am able to attach and send via Internet Explorer though. Up until a few days ago, this was never a problem. I've sent the file before. What could be the problem? I am very frustrated.
I do have anti-virus software that scans the files. It sounds like you are accurate. But nothing is new...I have sent the same file numerous times in the past with no problems, but all of sudden, I can't send the file. What can I do to fix this problem?

Remove Child and Event.SOUND_COMPLETE not working inside movie clip. What's the problem?
I have a movie clip that is called to the stage. The user then clicks a button and music plays. As the music starts, another movie clip is called, a simulation of an equilizer. There are several things that should happen:
1) When the user closes the movie clip the music is supposed to stop playing and the equilizer movie clip is removed. What actually happens is the music stops playing but the equilzer movie clip is not removed.
2) When the music is finished playing the equilzer is supposed to be removed from the stage and the play button is reactivated. But none of that happens. When I click on the movie clip a second time equilizer is still there and the play button is not reactivated.
Here's the code that calls the movie clip to the stage.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtons);
function goButtons(event:MouseEvent):void
if (event.target == Song_bnt)
SoundMixer.stopAll();
addChild(myPlaySong);
myPlaySong.x = 304;
myPlaySong.y = 105;
//event.stopImmediatePropagation();
Here's the code in the movie clip:
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
var playRayJaySong:RJSong;
var playRayJaySongChannel:SoundChannel;
var equilizer:Equilizer;
equilizer = new Equilizer();
playRayJaySong = new RJSong();
//Plays music, inactivates buttons, and adds the equilizer to the stage.
PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
function songPageButton(event:Event):void
playRayJaySongChannel = playRayJaySong.play();
PlaySongRJClip.visible = false;
ClicktoPlaySong.visible = false;
addChild(equilizer);
equilizer.x = 269;
equilizer.y = 246;
//Removes the equilizer from the stage when the music is complete.
PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
function rjSoundComplete(e:Event):void
PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
removeChild(equilizer);
//Removes the equilizer and event listeners from stage and calls dispatch event to close the movie clip.
closeSong_bnt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, CloseSong);
function CloseSong(event:MouseEvent):void
removeChild(equilizer);
dispatchEvent(new Event("RemoveMSong"));
PlaySongRJClip.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
PlaySongRJClip.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
//Removes the MovieClip from the stage when the user clicks on the close button inside the MovieClip.
myPlaySong.addEventListener("RemoveMSong", RemoveSongClip);
function RemoveSongClip(e:Event):void
SoundMixer.stopAll();
removeChild(myPlaySong);
Any thoughts?I figured out the problem. Here's how I reorganized the code (all in one frame).
//Code for Ray Jay song.
var playRayJaySong:RJSong;
var playRayJaySongChannel:SoundChannel;
playRayJaySong = new RJSong();
myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
//Plays the song.
myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
function songPageButton(event:Event):void
playRayJaySongChannel = playRayJaySong.play();
playRayJaySongChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = true;
myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = false;
myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = false;
//Removes the MovieClip from the stage when the user clicks on the close button inside the MovieClip.
myPlaySong.closeSong_bnt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,RemoveSongClip);
function RemoveSongClip(e:Event):void
SoundMixer.stopAll();
removeChild(myPlaySong);
myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
playRayJaySongChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
//Resets all of the movieclips to their orginal state.
function rjSoundComplete(e:Event):void
myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;

As I select tabs on the Schwab Client Web Site I am kicked out with a message that says I've timed out and must log back in. All version beyond 3.6 have this same problem.
Going all the way back to Firefox 3.0.5 is shear foolishness, it is 14 security versions behind the last 3.0.19 release. And that version is missing at least a dozen security updates that were applied to the 3.5 and 3.6 versions after support for 3.0.x ended.
If you are not happy with Firefox 4, you should have installed Firefox 3.6.17. That is very similar to the 3.0 and has all the security fixes that have been released since support for Firefox 3.0.x ended last year. -
i have a MacBook Pro v. 10.7.5, also have dvd studio pro 4.2.2
I have a file exported from final cut v. 7, using quick time movie option, it created a file with .mov. When I import to dvd studio pro, I have an error
message " file is not compatible". shall I export again using different parm? settings? thanks for the help in advance.Thanks, Russ. I had my problem resolved by re-creating file from Final Cut using the "Video Format" as "MPEG-4 improved" instead of "H.264" before.
My orginial source is a dvd came from Taiwan, I used software 'Handbrake' to convert it to MPEG-4. Input to Final Cut to edit it. Exported out with H.264 as Video Format, wishing to improve the image quality but run into 'file impaitable' when import to DVD SP.
Now. I exported out Final Cut using the following parms, pictures quality is not bad.
1. File format = MP4
2. Image size= 1280x720 HD
3. frame rate = 30
4. video format = MPEG-4 Improved
hope this help people who might run into same problem. I never use the Compressor, will try it next time. thanks Russ. -
IMac suddenly freezes with Little green stripes! What's the problem?
Was working and suddenly had this problem: whole screen and additional monitor was covered with little signs - 3 little stripes. No reaction on mouse or keyboard. After cold reset same problem
I suspect a hardware problem. I'd recommend taking it to your local Apple Store or AASP. You can try to run Apple Hardware Test though in Extended Mode.

HT200109 There is no menu :Movie Purchased. What is the problem? I can view this menu before.
I boght some movies directly from aple TV, but when I want to watch them again I can not find menu "purchased"
Any body can help?
Thank you.Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, most appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account and restarting your router.
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. -

Display Jitters with Mouse movement. Any ideas?
Cinema 23 HD Display jitters with mouse movement.
This just started happening. I don't know what's causing it, but my display jitters back and forth with mouse movement. Left and right. As I move the mouse the screen moves two pixels to the right or left when I move the mouse. After 2 pixels it stops.
Very irritating.
I don't have any extra displays to determine if its the card or the display.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Sounds like you may have accidentally turned on "Zoom".
Open System Preferences/Universal Access. Turn off "Zoom", and things should be normal again. -
HELP! Continuous Object Motion When Mouse Moves Over - ActionScript 3.
Hello! I'm working on a school project. Below is an image of what I am working on.
My cursor in this movie is the heart. When I move my mouse over Hello Kitty she jumps -- but only once. How can I get her to keep jumping when my mouse is over her, and make her stop jumping when I pull away? Here is the code below. If you can help that would be great!!!
Also, because I am new to ActionScript I might have messed up with the motion of the animation. Hello Kitty used to jump continuously without me doing anything. Then I copied the motion code into my ACTIONS layer and put stop(); in the Hello Kitty object code. So, she doesn't jump all the time anymore, just when my mouse moves over her... but she only jumps once and that is the problem. I want her to keep jumping as long as my mouse is over her. Please HELP! THANKS!!!!
