Flickering / live screen artefacts (iM6)

When I go to Media >> Photos and select a photo, the Ken Burns preview that appears by default seems to be a distorted version of my desktop. When I uncheck the Ken Burns, there is no difference (except that the image is not getting larger). I can't understand what the problem is. Here's an image:
http://www.dan.uk6.net/picture1.png
You can probably just make out the dock, and the yellow at the bottom is the color of the picture (a saxophone). The problem only happens with photos from digital cameras, and i have tried photos from 3 different cameras. With images (jpgs) from the net, the preview is fine but when the clip has rendered I get random blips of the same effect throughout the clip.
So far I have tried:
trashing prefs (main and user)
using different accounts
deleting caches
using 1 / 2 monitors
selecting different project format
getting rid of all my QT plugins
I should mention that I only installed iMovie 6 on the installer because I don't have much disk space for GarageBand and iDVD etc. on this machine. Those were all the things I could think of to try but chances are I'm being a complete spooner.
Any help MUCH appreciated!
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It sounds like the power inverter for the display has given out. I forget offhand if that is a separate part on MacBooks, so they may have to replace the entire display which would be pretty expensive.
And just for the record, it is a logical fallacy to think that experiences with one computer will apply to all computers like it. Some systems will die an early death, others will seemingly last forever, and most will be somewhere in between. Looks like yours is on the early side. Sorry, but this repair cost is likely going to hurt. Next time, I'd suggest holding out a little longer until you have enough cash for the AppleCare plan. But all you can do now is live and learn.

Delayed live screen drawing with tools in Photoshop. Video driver update?

Delayed live screen drawing with tools in Photoshop CS5 on my iMac running system 10.6.7.
Hi there. Recently, I've been having issues with the tools. There's a distinct DELAY in the live drawing. For example, if I open a random image, take the pencil, paintbrush, or even eraser tool, and I draw a large line across the image, I don't see anything. If I zoom in or out 1 click, I see the line. If I draw ANOTHER line, same thing - I need to zoom in or out to see it. With all of the tools. I've never had this issue before and it's incredibly frustrating (that might be an understatement as you can imagine - I use PS daily as I am a full-time designer.) Any ideas or solutions? I've already TRASHED my preferences and reset the tool. If it IS a driver issue (which is weird, because this issue just recently started happening) I contacted the driver manufacturer (AMD) and was told:
"Unfortunately, Apple does not authorize us to release drivers for their products.
All drivers are provided to Apple who then customize and release them to their customers.
You will need to contact Apple to obtain the most current drivers for your product."

You are correct - only Apple can deliver display drivers to you. That's what you get with a Mac as Apple wants to be your "one stop shop" for support..
Just curious: Are you painting with large brushes and very small Spacing values? That can cause some delay, though it normally catches up on its own - you don't have to do anything to make it happen.
Have you tried disabling OpenGL Drawing in your Photoshop Edit - Preferences - Performance menu. Restart Photoshop after making that change and before testing.

Flickering white screen on iPod touch?

Flickering white screen appears when iPod is turned on. After a few tries I finally get
Few times I get the locked screen.
Tried reset and restart, but problem persists.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Computer live screen grabs?

Not sure where to post this question.
I need to film and edit a computer program training video.
I need to capture a computer screen while the instructor does a walk and talk through the program.
I've seen this done in other training videos- how is it done?
How do I capture the live screen?
I have snapz pro- but the quality is poor.

P.S There is also an HD version or a HD PRO if you really want to push the boat out
HD Version $29.95
"The pinnacle of high speed realtime screen capture. Instantly capture anything on your screen and turn it into a movie. Includes YouTube upload and also captures from video cameras."
or HD PRO (which is compatible with FCP) $59.95
"Additional features for pro users: Watermarking, key recording, audio mixing, low cpu mode and compatibility with Final Cut. The "pro" version does it all."

Help! I have a flickering white screen but I can still turn on my IPod Touch! It is a white flickering but the bottom half of the screen is unseeable. How do I fix it?

Help! I have a flickering white screen but I can still turn on my IPod Touch! It is a white flickering but the bottom half of the screen is unseeable. How do I fix it?

Try the follwing to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have a problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ip5s's why I do not live screen and camera are very weak faint? please check for me seri17m800xffgc

Sorry, not quite accepted, I see that I missed something out...
This rapid flashing has only occured since I had BT Sport included in my package a few days back. Before then the light had been stable green with the occasional rapid flashing whilst I have been connected to the internet. That obviously does indicate data transfer.
However, when I was not connected to the internet, the light glowed a stable green all the time. Now it flashes rapidly even when I'm not connected - I'll add there that my BT Vision box remains on all the time.
Heat - The unit IS WARMER than it was - That may sound nit-picking but with my OCD's I "Touch-check" every item of electrical equipment every time I leave my house and, when I go to bed at night so I am very well used to "How warm something should be" so that in my mind, I "Feel Safe". At this time I don't "Feel Safe" with the increased temperature so have to switch it off overnight, or when I leave my house.
** The unit may of course be warmer due to extra data-transfer but then, why do I suddenly have extra, and constant data transfer when my computers are switched off and I'm not using the internet?
A thought about that I think could be that someone else is constantly accessing my connection though I've no idea how that could be so or if that ever could happen.

Nano 6th generation - flashing and flickering white screen loop

I have an issue that does not seem to be exactly answered anywhere.
1. The screen was bad and was not responsive when unplugged from the computer. Black screen, no nothing.
2. When connected to the computer it would show up in iTunes, however the screen would go to a white screen for 3 seconds then go out, then you would get about a minute of very faint flickers then back to a white screen for 3 seconds. This would continue indefinately (Let it go for 2 hours).
3. Even though it was like this I was able to upgrade the iOS and register it and so on.
4. Figuring it was the screen I purchased a new one and replaced it. While replacing it I was able to see the screen and flip through it and so on. At this point it was working although the battery had almost zero power.
5. Finished reassembly, plugged it in the computer. It is now not recognized by itunes and is in the infinate loop of flashes and flickers.
6. When not connected to the computer there is nothing just black.
7 It also does the flashing and flickering when plugged into the wall.
8. I did go back and carefully disconnected all connectors and reconnected them all as I saw this as a solution in a post. Still flashes and flickers when plugged in.
9 None of the reset procedures do anything.
Ok all you experts what is the issue? It is very frustrating especially since it was working.

same problem as mine, don't know what to do either, when you find out please post.
thanks!

Yoga 2 Pro - Screen Flickering and Screen Blanking

Hi,
I love the Yoga 2 Pro. But i have fews issues with it. Especially when used on battery.
My screen flicker from time to time. The onyl fix i found was to close the lid to put the laptop to sleep and the reopen it. Not very convinient.
An other issue I encounter is the screen blanking after a while when the computer is not in use. It's like the computer blank the screen to save battery power, but when you want to reuse it again, it won't start again. THe only fix is to hard reset the computer (eg : press 10s the power button)
I am running a fresh clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro with all the Lenovo Drivers up to date (exept the BIOS one)
If you could help me fix my issues. I think it's software related.
Do you think i should put the BIOS update ? Does anybody ever try with a clean windows 8.1 install ?
Thanks a lot,
Romain

I have the same issue, only it occurs at low brightness.
It flickers rapidly for a few seconds and goes away. It occasionally comes back, making it unable to work in darker environments with the rapid flickers.
I've checked all the auto-brightness and intel power saving options. I tried using both refresh rates, and they don't make a difference. The problem occurs in all power plans and even in the non-Lenovo energy manger modes. All drivers and BIOS are up to date.
I'm at a complete loss as to why this is happening...I would greatly appreciate a solution. I sincerely hope I don't have a defective laptop..):

Occasionally flickering iMac screen after installing Yosemite

Occasionally flickering iMac ()intel) screen after installing Yosemite. Cannot yet specify when the flickering occurs, but it cover large sections of the screen. Absolutely annoying.

I also have this issue but only below 6 screen illumination steps (bars)
This flickering issue is active after waking up from sleep os screen sleep and if I increase the screen light to a setting higher than 6 screen step for a wile (30 seconds or so) and the reduce the light to a level below 6 steps it usually holds on without flickering.
This happens on an late 2009 iMac with nvidia card running OS X 10.10 and apple later upgrades but not (until now) on another same age and OS X version iMac I have but instead of the nvidia card it has an ATI
Question:
Has anyone tried to use the Mavericks nvidia graphic card driver with Yosemite?

S10e: Flickering External Screen

I have bought an S10e in Germany, black version with 160 GB HDD, 1.5 GB RAM. But since it might be depending on the design, it might hold for the other netbooks as well.
When plugging an external display to my netbook, it starts to flicker (lines like if you have configured a wrong phase at your screen). After changing the position of the wire the flickering is getting better, but after a while, step by step, it returns. I already tried out several external screens (such as 19", 22", 24") with different resolutions. Especially with dark colors it is really annoying.
Has anybody some idea? I assume that it is in cause of the close placement of the plug to the ACplug... Thanks
moderator note: type added to title.

Finally, it worked out with changing to a brand new, shorter and with two noise filters attached cable.

Monitor flickers when screen saver runs

I have a two monitor setup. I just put in a replacement video card which has one ADC port and one DVI port. The monitor on the ADC port flickers when the screen saver runs. But it doesn't seem to flicker at any other time. The monitor on the DVI port has no problems.
I wonder if there's anything I can do to get rid of the flicker. Could it be the card, which otherwise seems to work fine? Or could it be a memory problems?
Any thoughts appreciated!

I wonder if it is the screen saver. Some really put the 3D graphics hardware to task. Have you tried switching to a screensaver that doesn't demand serious hardware acceleration like "Computer Name" or one of the "canned" savers that display picts like Cosmos, Beach, Paper Shadows, etc?
I keep two different types of temp monitoring on my Macs so see what programs task the system, One is software and the other is a direct-read remote thermometer (remote sensor tucked in the exhaust port of my Intel iMac). When I run the 3D savers, I can see the temps start to go up.

Unresponsive imac and screen artefacts present sometimes

Hi
I noticed odd things appear on the screen a while back, coloured lines, warped windows etc. they would clear themselves or could be cleared by dragging another window over them.
Also the mac would just lock up and only the mouse would move though you couldn't click anything to move it.
The only way out was to force restart with the power button as force quit was unresponsive too.
I did a complete re install of OS and software but the issue remains.
I did the hardware test several times but comes up saying everything is fine.
I did a surface scan with tech tool pro of the empty HD and that was fine too, no bad blocks.
I also ran a permissions repair a few times and again all good.
Is the graphic card fried? If so would that cause the finder to lock up?
Any one else want to share similar and if they have managed to figure it out I'd be grateful.
It's a shame as the mac has been really looked after and is still a great workhorse otherwise.
Many thanks

It looks like your graphic card is damaged. A damaged card may cause display artefacts, and when it stops working, OS X can only be started from safe mode. You should take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller
