Flicker again

Hi all ... a couple of questions which if you don't mind I've also posted on the wonderful creative cow site. Believe me I've really searched and read as much as I can but can't find information that relates to this problem.
Q1. when allowing DVDSP to encode do I have to go into compressor to change any settings (as I understand DVDSP uses compressor) or do I make all the setups in DVDSP prefs ?
Q2. I want to make a really simple DVD no menus nothing. It's a sequence of stills with zooms and stuff rendered out of After Effects 720x576 Pal, NO Fields, 4 minutes long, animation codec it looks perfect played in Qtime but when I import it into DVDSP and build and burn it looks like crap, field issues on playback both on my Mac using DVD player, and on a tv.
Q3. Does the 'automatic' setting in prefs in DVDSP work with progressive or is it treating a fieldless Qtime as upper or lower. I was led to believe that modern DVD players were happy with progressive and I thought my Mac would play it fine. It really looks as though there are fields being introduced somewhere ! .... why isn't there a 'No fields' button
I got slight improvement bu adding 1 pixel vertical blur in After Effects but why should this be needed, let's face it the quality is pretty poor anyway ... adding blur seems crazy.
Please be assured I'm pretty sure I have all the basic settings in DVDSP correct, those I can find easily anyway and have tried all variations upper/lower etc etc ... I'm on to my 16th coaster now and am getting stressed.
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction ... best regards Roger

Hi all...
Just entered to post my own flicker problem. Like this person I am responding to, I have four terrible flickers. The 7 minute video was created in FCP. They are many stills, all with dissolves and a few zooms.
Like this person I have tried exporting from FCP with different field dominances, have appliced flicker filters, etc. The flicker does not appear in QT after export, can not be seen on the computer screen, but is very evident on TV played with a DVD player. There also seems to be a difference in flat screen LCD and older TVs.
Like the above writer, I have done about 20 exports, some taking up to 9 hours for the export. And have made 10 or so coasters. All have the same flicker.
Help, please. I am also going crazy and the client is hysterical!

Three Finger Flick not working in Chrome?

I have a Lenovo Y460, which their touchpad supports the 'Three Finger Flick' function (Allows you to scroll through photos, back/forward on webpages (not that useful but still nice)), and I always just thought it didn't work on my computer or I just didnt know how to use it.
As a web browser, I like Google Chrome. But I clicked on IE by accident and felt like trying the flick again. So it works in IE but not in Chrome? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

@dimfisch
I'm not quite sure what double tap is/what you mean, but you can configure little sections of your touchpad to have a different function. If you click on that little ^ arrow on your task bar, and find "Synaptics Pointing Device" (looks like a little touchpad with a green center), go properties, Device Settings, and then settings one once, you'll find that you can add a few extra functions and all in there. Hope this helps!

0xE800000A Error / iPhone Display starts to flicker

Hey!
Since four days I have problems with my iPhone 4. So I started to restore my iPhone with iTunes four days ago. I put it on DFU and plugged it on my laptop.
iTunes downloaded the newest iOS (7.0.4) and started to restore my iPhone. But then suddenly there came an error message:
"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800000A)"
I've never read an error like this in iTunes. So I started to worry about it. I unlocked my iPhone and then I saw that my display flickers! It was really strange
because I've never seen this before on my iPhone. It was the first time. And my iPhone really didn't run very well. I was not amused about that.
So I started to restore my iPhone again after that. Now it worked but the display still flickers. After one day the problem was solved with my display but the iOS didn't run well. Today a few minutes ago I started to restore it the 3rd time. There was the same error (0xE800000A) and now the display started to flicker again.
It's really strange! Where does the problem with the display come from? What should I do?

I had the same problems, which were posted to:

Applying the 'second' 10.4.7(intel) update did not solve the problem for me - I'm still running 10.4.6.

Blue screen flicker after security update

I just downloaded the recent security update this morning, and now about 5 minutes after starting up my macbook pro, the monitor flickers to blue for about 5 seconds or so, then flickers back to the desktop for less than one second, and flickers back to blue again. Multiple hard boots doesn't resolve the issue, but booting into safe mode keeps it stable.
I thought it might be an issue with having a Second monitor installed during the installation, since the issue didn't come up until after shutting down, unplugging the monitor and running the laptop on its own. After the second time rebooting, i pulled up the display prefs in system preferences and It pulled up two windows, one for the mbp display and a second for a display that was 1x1 pixels. I then pressed "detect displays" and it seemed to fix the problem. Then a couple of minutes later it did the blue flicker again.
I have a 15" mbp 2.2 core i7 with 8GB RAM that was purchased in june 2011 and is running 10.6.8.
Right now i'm not sure what to do next. Any help?

Hi,
I struggled with the same problem when the stage is squeezed just after the Default.png disappears and after less then a sec it stretches to the right aspect ratio.
The settings I'm using:
aspect ratio - landscape
fullscreen - true
auto orientation - false
After trying different things (using other png's and other solutions people offered) I think I finally found a fair solution. You can still get a very short flicker every now and then but for example when I tested my app I opened it 20 times and received a flicker only once. But yeah, till Adobe or someone else finds a better solution for this issue I think it's the best you can get.
So it's pretty simple, just set the scaling mode to no_scale by putting this line of code on your first frame:
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
I'm still struggling with doing the same thing when using the document class. It seems like it takes more time till the line is fired and you'll always get the flicker for a very short time (although much shorter then before adding this line of code).
I hope it will do the trick for you. If I'll find a better solution or will find a better way to implement this solution with the document class I'll post again.

Help!!!! Xperia Z2 Screen flicker then gone!

I just bought new Z2 12 days ago. Today when i am trying to use the phone, the screen backlight start to flicker from strong to dim for a moment...after i try to adjust the brightness to lowest, the flickering stop. Then i readjust the brightness level to higher level, the screen start to flicker again for a moment then totally gone.... when i connect to sony tv via mhl cable, the phone funnction work perfectly as displayed in tv with touch screen function on the phone, just that no picture on phone screen or is it due to backlight problem? Really feel disappointed with sony....

I apologise for the late reply; there could be a number of reasons for this however it would be worth at least ruling out a software issue by attempting a software repair:
1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps

Computer is very slow after maverick installation

I downloaded and installed maverick 10.9.4 last week, and my MacBook Pro (early 2009) has been running very slowly ever since (and only in Safe Mode).
I have read through several discussions that others have been having, and tried some of the recommended solutions but my machine is still not running well.
I have noticed an EtreCheck report is often requested and I will copy that report below (This was run while computer was in Safe Mode, again the machine is not functional unless it is in Safe Mode).
Some general observations:
Web browsing causes the computer screen to flicker until the web page has load, then it stops until I move the mouse or try to click on anything at which point it starts to flicker again.
Using programs (microsoft, adobe, ect.) take a little longer to load up and save but generally seem to respond to typing in a normal way.
My battery will not charge past 80% (this is new since installing maverick) even while plugged in. The machine hibernates normally and when it does battery life appears to run down at a normal rate. I mention this because I'm guessing some system is running inappropriately, draining the battery, and perhaps slowing the machine down???
Again all of the above are in Safe Mode. When the machine is not in Safe Mode, it takes about an hour for the machine to load to the point that my docking station, clock, and desk top icons appear. After this nothing progresses past the rainbow wheel of death. I have not been able to open a file, folder, or application.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press thereturn key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press returnthree times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My Computer is nuts! HP Pavilion dv2500 CTO, vista

I have had this computer for a year now, and literally there days after the default warranty expired I have had nothing but trouble from it.
Random types of blue screens, shutdowns, reformats, factory default settings, virus scans, the works.
Most of the issues get ironed out magically over time for some reason that makes no sense to me. I am a computer science major, I can fix everyone elses computer but mine it seems. The errors, and reasons are beyond myreasoning, and honestly baffle me.
I am lead to beleive that these problems are hardware related since recently when i tried to reformat, it took six or seven tries with the windows discs for it actually to format correctly.
After battling it for three days i get it up and running. It bluescreens when it overheats (i have deduced this as the reason, but unfounded) The videocard randomly decides to restart itself sometimes causing my games to lose fullscreen and stop working (XXX game has stopped working dialogue).
My network card works properly but sometimes decides to drop the signal randomly until i manually tell it to fix the problem, and then it works again (this problem has been mostly fixed, and blame is put on the router being aged)
Something is wrong with windows explorer too. It randomly stops working and reboots, killing most apps that are open.
Even firefox, firefox, my beloved firefox that would never turn its back on me, crashes all the time now for no reason (I am lead to beleive that it has soemthing to do with Adobe)
But most of all and the reason i come to the forums for help. What could be worse than random blue screens, a non booting computer, data loss, and unworking reformats? Let me tell you.
I was surfing the web about an hour ago, and my videocard decides to flicker again, and the screen goes black for a second and then comes back.
This time though it doesnt come back normal.
Ever messed with the alternate settings on setting a windows background? I am talking about windows XP for the moment, you can set the background/wallpaper to be "centered" or "tiled" or "stretched". Tile seems to look funny because usually you end up with 3 sets of the image, just like a tile.
back on point, now my laptop's screen looks like a tiled background. I have six start bars, six backgrounds, six instances of windows, six sets of whichever window i pop up, six sidebars, etc. Actually 6 and a half if you count the ones cut off on the bottom. When i move the mouse all six move. Its literally like having 6 tiny monitors displaying the same thing. Only this is a laptop, i wasnt doing any system maintenance at the time, and the display settings regarding the six monitors are very blurry/bad resolution/bad color scheme.
Honestly guys i have no clue. I have shut ti down restarted it, pulled out the battery let it clear the volitle ram. I have no idea. I tried installing the driver which worked but didnt change a thing.
Is it dead? Can a motherboard be broken but still run the computer? Faulty ram? the computer runs fine the display is jsut not working???
I know i mentioned alot of issues but mainly the thing that is killing me is the fact that now the display is severely skewed.
What do i do!
thanks

I have the same problem(when I turn on my laptop I see 6 screens while booting) but my windows vista wont start up and it hangs. Somebody help me...

Y510P Flickering screen still after two repair jobs

Hello,
The screen on my y510p began flickering severely just a few months after I purchased it. The flicker is present on the right third of the screen, and happens on BIOS boot as well as in Windows 8 and ubuntu.
Here is a video of the flicker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPI_szMcgm8
When I sent the machine in to be repaired the first time, I was told that the screen, screen connector cable, and keyboard were replaced. The problem was gone for about a week. Same flicker, in the same part of the screen.
Then it came back. Worse than before. I sent it in again, and was told the motherboard was replaced. Within a few days I began to notice the flicker again. Same flicker, and in the same part of the screen.
So after two weeks of having my computer at the repair facility, I still have the same issue. I think at this point I'd like a replacement machine, or just a plain return of the computer. How can I go about fixing this.
Thanks for reading.
-Zak

Hey zacharypch,
You are not the only one who has this problem. It is an issue that happens more often with the Y510P.
Here is the main thread on this forum about the issue:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Re-Y510P-Screen-Flashing-Flickering-Random-Colo...
Unfortunately the admin's don't post there anymore, and I don't think that Lenovo has officially recognized the issue or has found a solution.
Currently my laptop is also shipped out for repairs. One other person from The Netherlands got his money back after the repair took more than six weeks. Mine has been at the repair center for several weeks (I shipped it the 25th of March), and because of the earlier mentioned thread I doubt they will be able to find a solution...
I just hope they will be able to fix the problem or give me my money back, since I need my laptop for study purposes.
Several "fixes" mentioned in the thread are for a different problem with a flashing backlight. The problem we are having is different.

Screen flickers then stops on reboot

I have a Lenovo Windows 7 PC. It has an AMD Radeon HD 6370D display adapter that is up to date. Ever since I bought the Lenovo, about 2 years ago, the screen randomly starts to flicker so that it is basically unreadable. If I restart the system, the flicker goes away. It may be fine for a couple of weeks or a few hours until it begins to flicker again. Then I restart again and the flicker goes away. Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how to fix it? The connection with my monitor is fine, and, since it fixes itself on restart, I assume it is a software problem, but my driver is up to date, unless a video card hardware problem can also be alleviated temporarily by a restart. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Does nobody have an answer to this problem?

Two display problems with my new MacPro! :/

I recently bought a new MacPro to replace my PowerPC, and am having some odd video problems I did not have with the old computer (yes, using same display). Here's some quick stats I think are important.
1. 30 inch Apple HD display (used on both computers.)
2. Old video card = Radeon X1900 - NEW video card = Geforce 8800 GT (came factory installed)
3. Old OS = 10.4.11 Tiger New OS = Leopard (with all current updates. Also factory installed)
4. Quicktime Pro on both systems fully updated
5. Both Machines had all updates installed at the time of this problem (which is since i got the new machine)
Here's the two problems...(btw NEITHER of these happen when the display is hooked up to the old computer. only the new MacPro with a different video card and OS)
1.) When I play back video (sometimes in FCP (all types of files), sometimes in QT (.mov), and sometimes even on youtube and vimeo (so those are .flv files!) only SOMETIMES do I get these odd vertical refresh-looking lines. It makes the video somewhat flicker and you can see them crawl upwards kind of. The odd thing tho, is if I play that art of the video over and over, at times it will happen, and at other times it will not. same file, same part. I also noticed it does NOT stay on the file when exported from FCP and burned to DVD, so I'm thinking it is purely playback.
2.) Some files when played back in quicktime will get extremely choppy. (Locally played files). I will then click the desktop to make finder the front most selected program...and the files will then play smooth. if I select the QT window again, it will get choppy and flicker again.
I feel like I have a refresh rate problem, or maybe even a driver problem. The thing is, of course the drivers are not updated outside of auto updates, and I have installed everything available there.
When I open up my display settings, the refresh rate box is grayed out...so changing the rate isn't possible. Also, with my old computer/video card, I had an ATI control panel...the geforce does not have one...only the build in OSX display control panel.
Has anyone heard of this? I have posted in a few different places, and have received absolutely no replies. It's really frustrating, and sitting on the phone for hours with apple support to have them say "never heard of that problem" or have me lug the **** thing into a apple store and be without my computer and unable to work doesn't sound fun either.
it's not stopping me from doing anything..it's just annoying and frustrating cause I can't make it stop. I'm thinking it might be a problem with the leopard drivers that hasn't been addressed yet? I dunno.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Damion

UPDATE ::
In reading an old solution on how to get rid of the dancing pixels I get every once in a long while on this display, I downloaded SwitchResX and am using the demo to test and see if switching the refresh rate to 58khz will help in the line problem...and lo and behold...it kinda does. it is now only noticeable on fast moving action when put into full screen mode.
The QT flicker problem has NOT gone away...but I'm expecting that the horizontal lines running vertical are a refresh rate problem as I had thought.
My question, anyone know if apple is aware/working on this?
Also, why is the refresh rate not changeable with the 20 inch HD display settings in the display control panel??
I'd much rather use OSX to control my display than a 3rd party application! :/

X60 - Screen flickers and screen shutoff - problem with power management or hardware failure?

Hello everyone,
this is one of the longest unsolved threads in Lenovo Forum. To keep a summary of the posts for new victims (as suggested by PDG in page 23, edited by me):
Bottom line:
This is a video driver problem
If you have XP and can, roll back to 4450 (I currently run with 4860 in XP without problems)
If you have Vista you are basically screwed. No one has posted any link to a functioning V32 driver.
You can find a link to a backlevel XP driver on p.21 or thereabouts.
{Windows 7, Linux} may or may not help. (no problems for me with Ubuntu 8,9 currently)
LENOVO WILL NOT HELP. Don't waste your time. Lenovo will say its a hardware problem because that's all they know and charge you big bux to do basically nothing when you ship them your PC.
This is the original entry:
Hi,
I always stay at the current level of available drivers with System Update.
In the last days the screen starts to flicker / jiggle once in several minutes until suddenly the whole screen turns black and can't be reactivated. I then put the X60 into standby and it wake up right after. The screen is then turned on again...
Its a 1706-AA7...
I rolled back the graphics driver to an earlier version, didn't help. Does it look like some faulty power management? Or a potential HW issue?
dsp
UPDATE: this time the screen was totally light blue... same workaround: standby -> wakeup
UPDATE2: I removed the driver completely and installed it manually from the driver matrix page. It took a couple of reboots. In between resolution was down to 640x480 with 4 bit. Not its working again without flickering...
Was this a wrong driver pushed via System Update?
Message Edited by dsp on 04-07-2008 07:01 AM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
no - 2 video adapters are correct! You should not remove them. Read the Intel FAQ here.
Strange - could it be that it also updated your video driver the same time? When I rolled back the video driver to a very old version, I never experienced the flicker again. No colorful blanks anymore.
The Intel downloadpage offers a backlevel driver for the chipset;
* Microsoft Windows* XP
* Driver Revision: Production Version 14.32.3
* Package: 43262
* Graphics: 6.14.10.4906
* HDMI Audio: 5.10.0.1030 But I don't know whether I should try. This release doesn't appear in the Thinkpad video driver history. Hopefully the bug will be acknowledged and they work for a fix. Where should bugs be reported, when they are not taken serious by the first level support?

Need help/advice for XB270HU monitor. G-SYNC does not work. Monitor Flickers. No signal.

I recently bought this Monitor and have been having constant issues with it. Before I start, here are my specs.
GPU:GTX Asus Strix 970
CPU:i5 4690k @3.5GHz
RAM:16gb
OS:Windows 7
All my drivers are up to date, and in the NVidia control panel G-Sync is turned on. However while gaming I still get horrible stutters everytime the FPS fluctuates even a tiny bit even going from 140FPS down to 90 FPS. I was under the impression that changes to FPS it would remain smooth down to 30/40 FPS? Not so at all. There is no difference between this and my old monitor besides the fact that it can go up to 144hz.
Secondly everytime I turn on the monitor, it goes black and says no signal and then proceeds to launch at 800:600 resolution, flicker black, 1920:1080, flicker again and arrive at 2560:1440. Sometimes it wont ever receive a signal and my second monitor will turn on instead and take place as primary monitor.
It is plugged into the Display port and is secure, as far as I can tell the chord is in good condition.
And finally sometimes during gameplay, ableit rarely, I get random flickers of black screen for half a second here and there. When this occurs it happens about 3-4 times and then stops. Worrisome!
Part of me hopes that I have a terrible, broken and faulty monitor and could get a replacement. Because then I wouldnt try to justify why I spent nearly $1,000 dollars before tax for this thing. But then the other half of me would not even want to get a replacement because of how big of a let down this one has been. I'd rather just never have bought this one at all and have my money back.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. If anybody has had similar problems please speak up!!

Booserbob,
If you are willing, I would like to see about having a new Display Port cable sent out to see if that resolves it. If it does, I would be interested in obtaining the cable you received with the monitor, I have been trying to get one from a customer having this issue with no success as of yet. If you are interested, send me a PM (private message) with the following information and I will get to work on it:

Strange "tool tip:" message when reading blogs in Safari

Today, I was reading a blog in Safari (latest version) in SnoLo (latest version). Something caught my eye. I looked at the lower part of the screen and noticed that the idle cursor that was positioned over a word in the blog had turned into a pointer hand, but there wasn't a hyperlink in the word. I just shrugged it off until I noticed it flick again and the hand had turned into a message, like a tool tio in most applications. The tip said "Discover what top martial artists & the Army don't want you to know"! Whaaaaa?
I scrolled down the blog and waited. After a minute or so, the pointer changed to a hand and 30+ seconds later, displayed the same message. I took a screen snap, and was able to get it before the tool tip faded.
http://www.michaelbradydesign.com/Transfer/AppleForum/Strange_tooltip.png
I switched to another blog and was able to replicate it. This time the message said "Sign up for the #1 voted stock newsletter for free today."
There was no such commercial message on either blog page, nor was the window sitting on top of another window with a web page with such an advertiser.
What in the world is going on? Has anyone seen a similar thing?
For the record, yesterday, I updated iTunes and a Java update.
TIA and all that.

Hi MIchael,
You can disable tooltips using the Terminal app /Applications/Utilities.
Instructions here.

Re: Satellite L300-1FK - screen is going blank

Screen flickered then went blank and any time i try to start it up it goes blank again.
Any suggestions?

Can you please offer more details?
Is this general problem from the moment you switch your notebook ON or just when Windows OS is loaded?
When you enter BIOS and leave it for a while does the flicker again?
What is with safe mode? The same problem again?
If possible try to connect your notebook to external display and check how it works.

Led panel flickering - noticable in low brightness and white backgrounds

Hello I have an HP Pavilion x2 10 and it has a very annoying problem. The screen is randomly flickering especiall when set to a low bringhtness setting. Pages with white backgrounds are more noticable but still the screen flickers a lot. Tried to disable Intel HD grapfics power saving but still the issue is there.
any ideas?
It flickers both docked and undocked and on power or AC ... sometimes it stops for 30-40 seconds but after a while it starts to flicker again.
Anbybody else with this issue?
