Is anyone else's screen flickering?

since the update my screen was been dimming in and out.

Me too!!! The screen flickering & brightness of the screen suddenly fade to low intensity. The screen flickering happened everytime I use my MacBook.
May MacBook was the initial Jun 2006 version.
I already get those problems (a) sudden shutdown (replace the logic board), (b) palm rest area discoloration (change the bottom case), (c) power adaptor pin contact problem (replace the new one), (d) poor performance of battery life (awaiting confirmation from local Apple support, 180cycle max. charge only 50% of initial capacity) & (e) screen flicker issue (today just send in my MacBook for them to do diagnostic).
I really lost confident with my MacBook.
Should I request a replacement of entire MacBook?
My warranty period will be expired mid of next month & the are asking me to purchase the apple protection plan. But, I claim that the unit is poor in initial build quality & why I should considered the plan. It is unfair to me.
If the MacBook is in good condition then I will consider the plan for support another 2 years (fair), not in this reverse way.
Anybody please guide me how to pursue this matter.
I previously own an iBook G4 & PowerBook G4 TI don't have these problem at all.

  • Has anyone else had screen flickering on iMac 27"?

    I bought my 27" iMac only about one week ago, with the i7 processor, 8gb ram and 2gb graphics.
    All has been fine, except every now and then the screen will flicker?
    It happens every few hours I would say. It's never predictable, just happens and for about 10-20 seconds at a time.
    Has anyone else had this issue? I'm waiting for my apple care to register so I can speak to someone about a replacement unit.
    But for now I just thought I would ask and see if anyone else has run into this problem?
    Thanks.

    I have this same problem, Just bought a new imac 27".
    When i'm scrolling in websites it's flickering. also when i slide to different desktops.
    Is here anybody who can help with this??

  • Is anyone else experiencing screen activation issues during calls?

    I got my iPhone in the first batch from VF. Since then I have not experienced any of the issues reported as common faults such as the signal loss - however, I have a new one - the screen on the phone activates itself after a length of time (sometimes a while into a call, sometimes after only a couple of minutes) - this means, when I am happily chatting away the screen activates and my face is happily touching all the buttons on the screen - majority of the 'end call' button! At first I thought I was going crazy, maybe it was me holding it funny, but now I know I'm not!
    After doing a bit of googling a few o2 users have reported this issue too - does anyone else have this problem?
    Its very irritating. For example, last night I was on the phone to my partner, and the call ended twice - the first time I actually managed to type out a very garbled email to someone!!

    It's the proximity sensor, and there are hundreds of posts on here about it. It's not affecting every device, so make an appointment with an Apple Genius, pop instore and get it swapped out.

  • Anyone else having screen/window resolution issues in windows 8.1?

    Hi,
    I have Indesign CC 64-bit, on a Dell XPS18. I upgraded(?) to Windows 8.1.
    Since then the Indesign screens show at a lower res than other windows - that's menus and everything, not just the page content.
    Any help appreciated.
    Ed

    That led me to the solution - thanks! I followed the Compatability Troubleshooter and checked the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
    Much better!
    Thanks again.

  • Is anyone else's screen literally falling off?

    My screen is falling from the top left corner. I think whatever glue that was holding it together has lost it adhesive.

    So bring it to an Apple store or AASP and have them fix it.

  • Desktop restart shows flickering black/white screen, then black. Could not restart. Anyone else with this issue?

    Have the PRAM battery looked at.  It may be all that is needed.

  • Well, in two weeks I have gone through 2 mini's.   The first had a 1 inch wide shaded zone top to bottom.  Apple replaced it .  Now, the replacement has started with white flickering lines at the bottom. anyone else exper. probs?

    The Ipad mini replacement (the first had a 1 inch shaded band running down it - and Apple replaced it.  Now my new one has a flickering set of lines at the bottom of the screen.  I reset adn reloaded, powered it down and up and still there.  Seems likely to be a hardware issue - just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.   Nothing unusual - havre Mac Airbook, two other older ipads and iphone and all are fine - no issues charging or such.

    You must be at the end of the bell shaped curve for device problems.  There's always someone who experiences this, and unfortuantely you are the rare user to be annointed by the gods of bad luck.
    I read many Apple forums, and your story is indeed rare.  Just like the person who wins the lotto, there are those who play all their lives and never win anything, not even $1.00.  I'm sure you get the picture.  I had a similar experience many decades ago, only with a car (or cars).  Not fun and not funny.

  • Full screen playback in PE9 garbled - anyone else see this?

    I mentioned this in a general post but I'll make it a specific question now -
    When I click on the "full screen" button near the top right of the interface, full screen playback has a corrupted area which corresponds with where the timescale is on the normal interface.  Sometimes the playback cursor "breaks through" as a black vertical line too.
    Does anyone else see this?
    I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed.  Windows XP Pro SP3 Q9300 quad core PC 2GB memory.
    Thanks for any observations.

    It's very obvious if you do have the problem - a wide strip of the video (horizontal, matching the timescale hidden beneath the full screen display) gets shifted sideways somewhat (flickering on and off), so that any vertical object in the footage gets displaced sideways at that point in an obvious juddering fashion.  I tried to do a screen grab but simply doing that makes the problem change - it is more evident when the footage is running than when frozen.
    Anyway, adjusting the Windows Display Properties "hardware acceleration" slider, moving it to the left till it is set to the point where the message beneath reads "Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleraions.  Use this setting to correct severe problems with DirectX accelerated applications" seems to fix the problem.
    Graphics card is a GeForce 8600 GT, in case that's relevant.
    At least I know how to work around the problem.  Let's see if others come across the same problem in due course.  Maybe it's just a local issue.

  • My iPad mini won't work at room temperature.  I have to warm it up in my hands/arms for 2-3 minutes before the screen works correctly.  Anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

    Two or three weeks ago, I had a cracked screen replaced on my iPad Mini 2 with retina display (32G).  It worked perfectly for 2-3 weeks, so I don't know how relevant the screen repair is.  Anyway, the iPad is currently running iOS 8.1.3.  I completely reset it because I want to sell it, but recently, the screen display started to have issues.  One afternoon I turned it on and the screen was a faint gray with vertical streaks that went away after I turned it off then back on.  That night, the screen would stay black when I tried to turn it on.  It was a different black to being off, though.  When I try to turn it on it changes to a brighter black, if that makes sense.  I can see a change in the shade of black, but there's no color or app icons.  The sound works even when the screen doesn't.  The only way I can get it to turn on properly is if I hold it in my hands/arms for 2-3 minutes.  I think the heat from my hands has something to do with it.  It's just weird that regular room temperature seems to be too cold.  We've had a cold winter in NY this year and my iPad may have spent 1-2 hours in my cold car the day this happened, but I can't say for sure.  Has anyone else heard of this issue or does anyone have a solution?

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • This is my first mac, it is a macbook pro. i restarted it but when it started back up i saw a white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. anyone else have this problem?

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro, this is my first Mac. I restarted it, but when it started back there was a plain white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to do this manually like with PC's?

    The new Mac's came with OS X Lion 10.7 and there are no boot disks.
    Since it's so new, take it back to the Apple Store and let them deal with it.
    If not you can hold Command and r (as in rotten) keys down and boot the computer.
    You'll be presented with a several options, including one to reinstall OS X Lion provided you have a Apple ID, which means you have to use Safari in there to set one up. To do that you need to set up a email account with Google or Yahoo. Once you get the ID, then you can download Lion and reinstall it.
    It's so stupid not having a copy of the OS on hand to perform your own repairs.
    Of course Apple will be happy to sell you a $69 Lion USB stick.
    Like I said, take it back to the store, and try to get your money back, that will force them to think about just giving you a replacement machine that works.
    Lion doesn't work really but it can be acceptable until the patches get released.

    IF RESET DOESN'T WORK, FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note: Data will be lost

  • Did anyone else have a 'you must restart your computer' screen today?

    I leave my imac on 24/7. This am, I switched from my wifes user profile to miine, checked my email, got done, closed mail, and was going to open my browser (firefox) and the screen dimmed (like before going to screen saver) and then a gray message box about 3" X 4" with the circular power icon image in light gray background came on in the center of the screen, saying "You must restart your computer-please hold down your power button until computer shuts down (paraphrased). Nothing was going to allow me to do anything else (no cursor movement with the mouse, esc did nothing)so I powered down, and let it restart. Seems ok, I just want to know if anyone else has ever seen or experienced this happening. What entity would facilitate this restart? Apple? My ISP? Some spyware?

    OK....I used the 'maintenance' utility, and ran scripts, repaired permissions, etc. When my computer restarted, I went to my wifes profile, ran 'disk utility' to repair permissions on her profile. Then I opened her browser and cleared her data, ie search cache, website cache, everything except her logon data. When that was done, I went back to my profile, and opened the browser. I'm at that point now, and all seems to be well. But then it seemed well when this first occured. Any guesses as to why this happened or what might have caused it to happen? A program conflict? A visit to a data-mining webpage? I know that some will tell you (or me) that macs are supposedly immune to viral or malware attacks, but there also are those who will argue that it is impossible to protect any computer, even a mac, from all infections. So, part curiosity and part pessimism create a curiosity. Any input would help.
    Thanks.

    When I am on an Internet site, my iPad will suddenly flash a grey screen and then go back to the home screen where I have to start Safari again and reopen my page. It does it frequently sometimes 3 times within 5 minutes. Anyone else have this trouble?  It is driving me crazy!

  • Has anyone else had the issue of the the screen randomly flashing black only when using Messages app in landscape?

    I have been having an issue with the screen flashing black for several seconds then turning back on. This olny occurs in the Messages app and only in landscape mode. I have never noticed the issue in any other app. The issue is 100% repeatable. Has anyone else had this issue or know of any solutions to what seems to be a bug?

    I think this is an issue with the phone's proximity sensor (the one that turns the screen off when you hold it up to your ear). It's a bug that seems to occur when you switch to another app (any app) while still on a phone call. You'll notice in Messages that the screen goes dark when you move your thumb over the earpiece/iSight camera, but not when you move your other thumb.
    Simplest solution is to force-quit the Messages app (double-click the home button, and swipe up on the app). The problem should resolve itself when you restart Messages.
