Is anyone experiencing screen flicker when entering a search or moving mouse pointer towards results on google search page?

I have a new medion laptop and have version 4 of firefox installed
and am noticing that when conducting a search from tool bar (google) my screen flickers after pressing the enter key or when I move my mouse pointer towards the google results.
I do not get the same problem when using either internet explorer or google chrome, suggesting that either firefox or one of its plug ins is to blame!
I carried out the same search for the word Apple all using the google search engine preference.
Interested to know if anyone can help

Excellent suggestion to disable Add-ons. The problem on my system was the "Optimize Google" add-on. I went to the add-on's home page and it's defunct, so we can't expect updates that will fix the problem. So I deleted it from my system and everything is rosy.

Screen flicker when dragging documents

Does anyone experince screen flicker when dragging files from the Finder to the Desktop?
Here's a short video showing the problem.

I am running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8 (12A206j)) and just started to experience similar issues (see image below) When scrolling up or down a webpage. It happens randomly, and there are only a few applications open (Photoshop, Pages Safari). I have reset PRAM, but am not holding my breath on that...

Screen flicker when copying to desktop

I am experiencing a sudden screen flicker when I copy files or folders to my desktop? Doesn't seem to affect the system in any way, just very annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix for this?
Thanks, Rick

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

Screen Flicker when swiping to home screen?

Has anyone noticed a screen flicker when swiping from page 2 to page 1 of apps? Happens every single time. It only flickers when arriving at page 1 from page 2 of apps, never in any other page or search screen.
I have a 16GB iPhone 4. Never saw this on a 3G iPhone with iOS 3.1.3

I got my iPhone 4 replaced 8-7-10 (3rd) iPhone 4. Yes I see that flicker as well. I'm extremely disappointed in apple. I had the iPhone 3G and got that phone replaced 4 times. Now I'm on my 3rd iPhone 4, why do the iPhones have so many problems? Whenever I go to an apple store I see tons of customers getting their iPhones replaced. We pay a lot of money for this phone and in the end the phone has problems which results in multiple replacements. We buy apps, movies, music, cases, batteries etc. Apple boasts about how great the iPhone is, I've yet to see that "great" iPhone.

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

Hi my notes on this - might be of help
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

Firefox freezes ONLY when entering a search with Google, must close FF via task manager in order to restart it - Windows 7 64 bit. Was not like this always.

Sorry, cannot give further details. 4.0 runs smoothly with all websites I visit. Each time when entering a search term in Google I get all the results, but that's it - FF then freezes down completely.

This can happen if you or an extension have modified network.http prefs.
You can check the network.http.* prefs on the about:config page and reset all bold user set network.http prefs to the default value (network.http.proxy.keep-alive should be true) via the right-click context menu -> Reset.

Has anyone experienced a flicker issue on the lock screen?

I recently bought a 32GB iPhone 4 on 4.3.3 installed and there's a flicker on the bottom lock screen. Right before it goes to the lockscreen there is a slight flicker. Has anyone experienced this. Or can anyone look to see if they have this problem. I went to bestbuy and I usually go to the phones section with my cousin anyways to see the latest well there were iPhones out to see and I looked and the bestbut one had the same thing but I want to see if anyone else had this or knows a solution to this. Should I downgrade or what?
Thank you.

I did forget to mention I had a iPhone in November and It didn't have this problem. Im thinking it's firmware update bug. But idk

Screen flicker when the CPU is working

My macbooks started to flicker when the CPU is working, I'm using bootcamp and it doesn't seem to flicker when im using Windows XP.
Anyone had the same problem or got any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Interesting... I see a few possibilities of what could cause the problem:
1. It could be a software issue. I can get mine to stop doing it for several days by making a setting change in System Preferences > Energy Saver. After several days, it starts doing it again.
2. It is hardware, but not the screen. It could be some component that controls the screen brightness. However, it does not start when I dim the screen with the F1 key on the keyboard. So it may be something with the power management logic hardware.
I have the feeling it is in software, judging by the fact that your screen replacement did not fix the problem, combined with the observations I have made with my own MacBook.

Starting random apps and screen flicker when scrolling

My Touch 2G suddenly started to launch random apps without me touching the screen. Besides starting random apps the screen flickers when scrolling. Any body have experienced the same? It started about 1 month ago and I have always taken good care of it. I have tried every possible thing I can think of when it comes to software. Full restore, jailbreak, full restore, back to factory, back to earlier versions of IOS, but no luck. It is pretty persistent. I am sure it is hardware related and don't mind paying to have it fixed. I tried two repairshops already and they were not able to recover the reason for the malfunction. I wonder whether there is anybody who has experienced the same or even knows what is wrong?

Hey Kimwaldal,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like the devices are opening things on their own. You may want to follow this article to make sure the screens are working correctly.

PDA screen flicker when updating control properties

Hi all,
I'm developing a mobile application for Windows Mobile 5 using LabVIEW 2009 SP1 and the Mobile Module. After coming to terms with many of the limitations, I've got a simple menu driven interface working. The interface consists of a transparent 240x320 picture control to which I draw the menu item text using the Draw Text At Point VI, along with an icon representing the menu item. Behind this picture control is a second picture control which contains the selection graphic to show which menu item is highlighted.
The problem I'm now facing is an annoying screen flicker every time a control property for the selection graphic is set. Specifically when the user navigates the menu using the up/down arrows on the device, the menu selection on the screen is moved using the Position->Top property to move it to highlight the correct menu item. Whenever this property is set, the whole screen flashes white and redraws.
Presumably this is due to the top level picture control being redrawn when the underlying control is updated (which makes perfect sense), but I wish it wasn't so noticeable.
So a couple of questions:
1. Is there any way to enable double-buffering of the display from the Mobile Module or on the device itself?
2. Is my picture control behind picture control design flawed? I would use a system listbox for the menu but it's a bit ugly, and doesn't support icons/symbols under the Mobile Module. Other limitations of the Module Mobile (like string controls that can't have transparent backgrounds) led me to use picture controls as the best overall solution.
Cheers,
Michael

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
I just did a day's worth of testing using C# and .NET for Windows Mobile (in Visual Studio 2005) and was able to reproduce the same interface without any flickering issues. Not having to poll the device's hardware buttons is also a positive
The key is to override the main form's OnPaintBackground() method.
From "Crafting Smartphone User Interfaces Using .NET Compact Framework":
OnPaintBackground
This method needs to be over ridden to prevent the OS from repainting the background each time the user navigates the ListView, causing flicker. If you don't need a background then just override this method but provide no implementation.
So it looks like I'll be doing things in C# for this project. As the mobile device won't be used for data acquisition, the Mobile Module isn't a necessity. I just hope .NET's serial functionality is as good as LabVIEW's!

IPad 2 screen flicker when quickly sleep then wake. can people test this on their iPad 2?

Hi.
As the title says if i quickly press the sleep/wake button a few times quickly there will be a screen flicker with lines on the screen for a split second, can people test this for me to see if it's software related? 3 of the 5 ipad's i've tested this on has the issue. Does your iPad 2 do this? thanks

This is happening to a lot of iPad 2's. Glad it wasn't just me.
I had my first iPad 2 from the uk launch day and I was disappointed when I realised mine was showing significant lines on the screen when it was activated. It gradually got worse until the point I had to take it back tothe retailer I bought it from (comet uk). I was appaled with their 3 DAY retun period. But, after a loooooong phonecall to their head office and AppleCare and with a great deal of arguing they gave my money back. I then bought one from the apple store. Got home and found that the SAME THING was happening. But worse.
Took it back yet again and got another that finally works.
Just to let you all know it is a hardware fault and it isn't normal. Take it back to wherever you got it. It isn't a software glitch either as I updated to the latest at the time with no luck. Tried wiping all my data off it too with no luck.
I've lost my respect for my iPad 2 and apple as it's ridiculous that everybody hypes the products and then when you spend all that money it doesn't work. Third time lucky though, eh?

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Color changes when moving mouse pointer

Hi,
I have an issue that, when I move the mouse pointer over the controls of the video (when playing quicktime movies in full screen) that it goes darker and looks a lot better!
But as soon as I move the cursor away from the controls, the image becomes brighter, loses contrast and on the side is a green oder pink stripe.
Funny is, it does that in quicklook too, but not only in full screen!
the weirdest thing ever is... it did that on my old windows machine too!!!!!
I thought when I buy a mac it will go away... but apparently not... very disappointing!
I have googled the whole internet, but apparently I am the only one with this issue... or maybe not?
Can anyone provide any help??

Okay guys, after waiting for two years, QuickTime X fixed this!

Add WHERE criterias in addition to what the user enters on search page

Hi,
This may be a simple problem, but I have not been able to solve it.....Is there a way for me to code another search criteria in addition to what the user enters?
I'm trying to create a simple search page. Basically, user logs on, i get his acoount number and save it in a variable. Then whatever the user's search criterias are , I want to add "AND ACCOUNT = ???."
I've tried:
In the processRequest, retrieve his account number using a VO, stored account number in variavle x and then call a initQuery(x) for the VO to get only the rows that he should be able to see. Problem A: I get 'SQLStmtException' when I test the page by trying to do a Simple Search. So to fix that, in the VOImpl, I added these two calls -- setWhereClauseParams(null); setWhereClause(null); -- after the executeQuery(). After I did this, ran into Problem B: the user could search any record that wasn't associated with his account.
I also tried to dynamically create the vo using createViewObjectFromQueryStmt("Select * from table where account = " + x) but was not successful. The page didn't render and I received a ClassCastException similar to this thread -- Re: How to Create OAViewObject programatically
I'm new to OAF and would appreciate any pointers on how to implement this.
Thanks,
LL

Hi,
I assume that you haven't tried the following steps..if you have and still get an error, give us the SQL statement error that is coming up. If I misunderstood your requirement, could you elaborate.
I assume that when the user logs in you get the account number automatically.
You could define the VO to have the following where condition 'WHERE ACCOUNT=:1'.
Then you set the account id from the user using setWhereClauseParams(0,accountid) and call executeQuery. This would limit the result to that user.
This will work in addition to any other search fields that might have been used in the query.
For e.g with just the account id the sql that will be fired is
Select attribute1, attribute2....from Tablexxx where account = :1
Any other user search criteria given in the page will result in a ssql query like the following
select * from (Select attribute1, attribute2 ...from Tablexx where accoount = :1) where newattribute like `%xx`
Hope this helps. Let us know if you still have issues.
Thank you,
Arun
