Garbled Graphics every once and a while on FF 4.0

I have been using FF 4.0 for a few days now. Every once and a while while browsing, all of a sudden the graphics will freeze up and then all of the menus on FF are garble graphics (see screenshot link below). This only seems to happen when Pandora radio is open. It takes a browser exit and reopen to clear the issue. However the garbling appears to continue in right-click context menus in windows explorer. It did not happen under the same circumstances with FF 3.6.

I also notice that the context menu garbling happens to Acrobat as well, even after acrobat is closed. It takes a computer restart to get rid of it altogether.
Also, the screenshot link above is incorrect, it is:

Mouse will scroll right, left, and down not up. happens every once and a while.

mighty mouse will scroll right, left, and down, but not up. happens every once and a while. have wiped with alcohol, but no help this time.

As Barry says, wiping with liquids is not advisable.   However, with a similar problem this is how I approached it.
1.   Disconnect the mouse.
2.   Dampen (not soak) a cotton bud in alcohol. (I prefer whisky).   Then squeeze between fingers to ensure it is not wet.
3.   Rub the bud against the ball for a minute or so to ensure all parts of the ball have contact with the cotton bud.
4.   Then rub vigorously on clean white paper for a couple of minutes in a figure of eight fashion and tap it every now and then. I have seen quite large peices of fluff removed this way
5    Allow twenty minutes or so for the alcohol to finally evapourate to ensure there is no moisture.
6    Reconnect the mouse.
Having said all this, after three years or so your mouse will probably need to be replaced anyway.   Apple appear to be moving away from corded mice and therein lies another problem.   My experience with the Apple charger, Apple batteries and other premium batteries has not been good.   Batteries seem to run down at a rate of 10% per day even though its use is limited to about three hours daily.
You have been warned.

My brother's iPod touch 4 crashes every once and a while on all games

My little brother's iPod touch 4g 8gb suddenly crashes in all his games.
I have to restart it every time because it wont let enter any game, after restarting it, they work again, but then around 3 or 4 hours of playing, they crash again!!!
I have an iPhone 4 16gb with half of the games he has, but all the ones he plays most, and from all of the 72 apps and games i have installed, they never crash. I barely have to restart or shut down my iPhone for any reason.
Does restarting it lots of times afect the battery life of the iPod?
If so, how can i prevent this from happening every time.
I cant restore it because its jailbreaked and he doesnt want to lose anything.
If there is a solution for it without having to restore, i would really appreciate if anyone could help me, if restoring is the only option then ill try and see if i can do anything.
And by the way, this isnt so important since he doesnt use iMessage or Timeface, but he cant activate it, after choosing the mail to use with it, it just loads but then it returns to the first part, where it tells you a short description of what is does and the activate button. That happens successively making him unable to activate niether of them.
Thanks

Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Apple TV music playback skips a second every once and a while

Audio playback on my Apple TV has been having very quick delays, maybe half a second, then continues playing. It's pretty random but getting very annoying. Anyone had a similar issue?

Yes, has happened randomly for me for over a year on at least 2 AppleTVs.
Usually happens when watching video/music videos, the audio briefly drops out but video is unaffected. Also can happen with music occasionally. Do you see it with video?
I'm not convinced it's a network issue though can't entirely discount that,as my router occasionally hangs, but I think it's often a case of AppleTV struggling to do all playback/background tasks from time to time, maxing out cpu usage, and audio being affected somehow.
Some users have found it doesn't seem to happen if iTunes is closed, raising the possibility of some non-playback/streaming related communication process affecting the AppleTV. Some have found unchecking 'Look for AppleTV's' in iTunes has helped.
Lastly, it may be a sign of early hardware failure, most likely logic board or hard drive. One of mine that regularly did this eventually gave up the ghost.

I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on. So I know the speakers still work. I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute.

I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on. So I know the speakers still work. I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute. I have tried the mystical swiping upward on the screen with 4 fingers to get some special sound menu (which I never succeeded in getting). My headphone jack doesn't work all the time either so some times my kids can hear their games and sometimes they can't. I am super frustrated at this point. So any suggestions would be great. Am I missing something basic or do we just have a soundless iPad now?

I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped

I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped I went into the camera app and tried to see if it would flash when I took a picture but I saw it light very faintly and hasn't done lot up since. Should I get the led replaced?

First, try bringing up Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen. Turn on the flashlight by tapping the icon in the lower left. Does the flashlight work? If not, perhaps you have a hardware issue.
If it works, check the top of the screen when you open the Camera app to make sure you have the flash on.

My iPod 4th generation screen shakes back and forth every once in a while and the touch screen stops working. Then I have to hit the sleep button on and off to make it work

My iPod touch 4th generation screen shakes back and forth every once in a while and won't let me use the touch screen. I have restored it at least 5 times to factory setting and it is still happening. The only way to stop it is to hit the sleep button off and then on again. It happens about once every 5 minutes. Please help.

If you successfully (completed all steps without errors) restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening?

Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening? An example is: I try to type Super Excited and the U, E and P won't work. But once I restart, all the letters work.

It could be an accumulation of all sorts of bits of info and depending on the last time you cleared the system cache either manually or via a factory reset on that phone you might find a difference there after doing so with many other system caches.
Clearing the application cache removes temporary files and frees up memory - your personal settings or information remain intact.
Be sure you clear only the application cache and not the application data.
From the home screen, tap Apps.
Scroll to and tap Settings.
Tap More.
Tap Application manager.
Swipe left to view the All tab.
Scroll to and tap an application.
Tap Clear cache.
You've now cleared the application cache.

I hooked up mine and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser get stuck. how di fix this?

i hooked up mine airport and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser gets stuck. how di fi?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Most of the times my saved tabs open, but every once in a while they don't and I lose them

I usually have a bunch of links open, so I have the settings set so my previous tabs always open. Most of the time, they do. Every once in a while, like today, though, Firefox decides to open to my home page instead. I never know when it is going to do this, so I never know which links to save in case it happens. Often, therefore, I lose several of the links I had open.

Z87 MPOWER: the motherboard hangs up at code A2 every once in a while

I just built this computer...my first build in about ten years.
the motherboard hangs up at code A2 every once in a while. 4 out of 10 reboots it wont post and gets stuck at A2..... if it makes it past that it works fine.
I searched and that code appears to be SATA related. I swapped sata cables, no effect.. I'm using the cables that came with the Mpower mobo.
Computer spec:
MSI MPOWER Z87
i7 4770K processor
2x Crucial Ballistix Tactical 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 8 Dual Channel Kit 1866 (PC3 15000)
1X MSI 760 Hawk graphics card.
1XCrucial M500 240GB 2.5-inch Internal SSD MU03
V700 coolermaster supply.
windows 8.1 pro (bit locker is off)

Quote from: demo slug on 16-December-13, 15:25:03
I've already swapped cables....
I've got a better handle on the symptom. and its very repeatable.
It only posts when I use the reset button.
A power on or reboot from windows will hang it at A2.
it wasn't doing this when I first built it... but I installed a bunch of drivers. for the mobo and the video card.
For the mainboard drivers, using Live Update or did you download and install them manually?

Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols. Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center. I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center. I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
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. 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.

RMBP - external screen turns black for a few seconds every once in a while

My external screen (Dell U2711) connected via Thunderbolt to Displayport cable turns black every once in a while. The rMBP is in clamshell mode. When it starts it randomly blackens the screen for 2 seconds with an interval of 10 seconds to 5 minutes. A restart usually fixes the issue but it keeps coming back after some time.
Has anybody here experienced something similar?
What can be the cause of that?
This really starts to annoy me, because it seems I have to do reboot everytime I connect my laptop to my screen.

Never had the sort of problem - but then I've an Apple Thunderbolt Display and it just 'works'.
Could be that you're adapter is shot. You could buy a (or some) new ones from Monoprice (much cheaper than what Apple's third-party solutions sell for) and see if that's the problem.
Sorry I can't offer a more helpful solution...

If the CD absolutely requires that old version, then it is basically obsolete. However, it might work with the current version ... have you installed the current version of Adobe Reader, and if so what does it say when you try to use the CD?

Every once in a while in Lion I am unable to drag files or icons they become frozen in place. Restarting fixes the problem but it happens again. Why?reachers

Every once in a while in Lion (10.7.2) I am unable to drag files or icons, they become frozen in place. Restarting fixes the problem but it happens again. Why?

Without any more information than you have offered it's difficult to say why. If it happens again check Activity Monitor (Applictions - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and see if you have anything taking a large %CPU. If you are getting a SBBOD then also check the FREE RAM which you will find in the System Memory tab in Activity Monitor.
