MacBook Flicker Problem - on Leopard?
Hi!
Just to see any possible solutions, if anybody with the flicker problem has the possibility to install the OS X 10.5 (Leopard), please let us know if the flicker is present also on Leopard.
As far as I saw by now, it happens under Windows XP in BootCamp with various users.
Thanks!
Cristian.
Your right checking a bug would be OK. Problem is they couldn't tell us about it because it involves Leopard, that is where the NDA applies. Also there is a lot of time between now and October so even if it existed at this moment it may not still be there in October when Leopard is released.
I guess I have been lucky I haven't had the flicker problem.

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

1) Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):

2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard! -
Macbook pro retina screen flicking problem
I bought this 15 inches Macbook pro back in Nov, 2012. And I have the screen flicking problem in Dec.
The problem is the same here listed on youtube. You can find hundres of them just by searching "retina flicker" on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko6WCqw20ZE
And I did a lot of researches on this. I had also gone to the Apple Store 2 times, one Genius Bar Staff told me this has to be a hardware problem and offer to fix my laptop, others said it might be a software based problem and adviced me to wait for the new system update. I don't have time for a long fixing so I chose waiting. That particular one who told me to wait for the next software update also encourage me to dig deep and tried to find the root cause by myself...and I did. I found my screen flicking problem could caused by cellphone inteference. And It seems that the Wi-Fi antena is also a key component here. If I turn off Wi-Fi completely, the flickering went away.
Some solutions I found online
1. It can caused by Enable Safari webGL. So disable webGL and turn off develop mode
2. Disable displaycard auto switch in Power saving tab
3. Close the lid put the sytem into sleep and re-open the lid
4. stop using Wi-Fi. That's right people, try disable Wi-Fi!! It's the only working solution for me.
5. It could be caused by CDMA cellphones including US Verizon brand cellphones and many others. GSM cellphones are OK. Try to turn off your cellphone or drive to a empty plaza and try to see your laptop still flickering at your car. Turn off your cellphone when You do this.
What doesn't work
Reboot
reinstall OS
go to Apple Store and change Logic Board (Someone reported that after logic board change, the problem came back after a while)
Let me know if you guys have any findings, Thanks!!I'm sure that you've seen the problem with 'burn-in' and 'ghosting' on some MBP-R machines in threads on this forum. It doesn't seem to be an overwhelming problem, but some have reported it.
Did you buy it from an Apple Store or online? Either way, you need to get tough with Apple. Tell them you need to keep your computer and, when they deliver a replacement to your local Apple Store, you'll bring it in for exchange. That's what they've been doing with most people that have had MBP-R problems - I've never heard of them requesting that you send your computer back before they will exchange. Did you contact your local Apple Store or was this response from an AppleCare phone conversation. If the latter, take it into the Apple Store, explain what you want to do, and I'm sure that they will work with you.
Good luck,

Display problem after upgrading MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard
Immediately after upgrading my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard OSX, the display has been exhibiting vertical gray 'banding' extending up from the bottom of the display. Each band is about 1 inch wide. The display seems dimmer as well, and I can't brighten it up.
I'm in the process of upgrading to Lion (Snow Leopard was the intermediate step) and am hoping that resolves the problem. Any advice/suggestions?I do not have answers for you, but I'll be waiting to see if someone has a "fix" for this. I am running snow leopard on a MacBook Pro, and I have a dim screen problem that doesn't brighten also. (no lines in mine, though)

MacBook Pro and Sow Leopard video problem
When I connect MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard to LCD projector, the projected image is very problematic. Two symptoms. First, the video has a flicker to it. Second. menu lists have overlapping double and triple images so they cannot be selected accurately. The result is that demonstrations of sofware such as Final Cut pro cannot be done effectviely. Does this sound like a vieocard giving up and needing logic board replacement?
Thanks for your reply.
In the Print and Scan Preference how many printers do you have installed? - one.
If only one which I assume is USB, try installing the Cannon as a network printer. - It doesn't specify that it is connected by USB. It says that it is "in use, Default". There is a tick in the box alongside "Share this printer on the network". Is there somewhere else that I need to access to install it as a network printer?
If you have already installed it as a network printer open the print queue from the Print and Scan. Click on the Printer Menu and run Netwrok Diagnostics.
I entered the print queue but there is no option to click on Network Diagnostics because it is greyed out.
There are tick boxes alongside:
Screen sharing
File sharing
Printer sharing
Scanner sharing
Remote login
Remotemanagement
Remote Apple events
Internet sharing
Bluetooth sharing
with a tick alongside Printer sharing.
Many thanks. -
Problems reinstalling Leopard on Macbook
Just recently, I've had some serious problems installing Leopard back onto my Macbook. About 4 days ago, I decided to use boot camp to try Windows XP on my Macbook. It all went smooth as I was trying out Windows XP, but I soon found out that I had some serious problems. Boot camp had written over my version of Leopard. When I held down the option key, all I saw was Windows. Of course I thought this could be easily remedied by using my Install disks 1 and 2 but for some reason, neither disks were recognized when I put them in. At one point disk 1 was recognized but it took about twenty minutes to actually get to the install screen. Once there I tried to erase or wipe the Harddrive as it says to do in the apple instructions. So I went ahead and erased it. This was probably a bad choice seeing as halfway through the first install disk, the installation failed. I had just erased my harddrive and now I cannot even get into Windows! Now I cannot get my Macbook to recognize either disk and both disks are spit out after about 5 times of the disk starting itself back up and trying to recognize it multiple times. Anyone have any suggestions?

Message was edited by: BowenboyHi, and welcome to the forums.
You've either got a bad disc or a bad drive. Both happen on occasion.
Do you have access to another Mac? If so, try the disc in it (of course, don't actually do anything, just see if it's readable).
If the disc is bad, and you're near an Apple store, you might be able to get a Genius to install from a disc of theirs, but either way, you need to get a replacement. Depending on how old your Mac is, there may or may not be a small charge.
If the drive is bad, it's covered for a year. If you've got AppleCare, it's even longer. -
Anyone else having a Problem with Leopard and Photoshop CS3?
I'm using CS3 with Leopard 10.5.4 at work and there are some very aggravating anomalies, that I'd like to nail down to a cause. Most frequently, when switching from apps to P'Shop, the menu bar stays for the previous app, i.e. when going from Finder to P'shop, the menu bar still says Finder and has Finder options. Changing from Lightwave to P'Shop, the menu bar remains Lightwave.
Occasionally, an Adobe app - P'Shop or InDesign - will simply disappear and not come back. The icon in the dock shows it as active, but no amount of clicking, Command-Tabbing will reveal the app and I have to Force Quit, losing unsaved changes.
I have a feeling it's Leopard, since, I've used CS3 on Tiger and CS4 on Tiger and never had a problem.
I'm wondering if upgrading to the latest Leopard would make much of a difference.
Has anyone come across this and found any kind of answers?
Thanks for any suggestions.
-Vincent> Just because it doesn't happen to Phil (who may not use all of the same features of the Suite that others do anyway) does NOT mean that these problems are not real and are not mere PEBCAK.
Right. If someone is having a problem associated with Tiger, it's PEBAK. If Leopard is involved, it's automatically because of Leopard. Apparently, with Apple's latest OS, trouble shooting problems are no longer necessary - just blame it on Leopard and call it a day.
b FUD
I find the dynamics here really interesting. This thread would have been very different if Vincent had posted with problems involving Tiger. Would have gone something like this:
After admonishing him for not providing more information about his setup by posting the obnoxious big blue link on how to ask questions (ahem - we know NOTHING about his machine or configuration, such as which machine, how much RAM, scratch disk or attached peripherals), there'd be all kinds of trouble shooting advice given - "try a new user", "repair permissions", "run DiskWarrior, and on and on ...
But no, since he mentions Leopard, none of that is apparently necessary and the completely, utterly
b irresponsible
advice is given ... "that's just the way Leopard is".
Those are some serious problems he's reporting that have nothing to do with Leopard. Something is obviously hosed!
As for discounting my experience because I don't use every app in the suite as extensively as I do Photoshop, I'm FAR more qualified to discuss Leopard and CS issues than Ann or Neil who do not use Leopard at all (and have never used it as far as I know.)
"Others have problems with it", is their battle cry but it's extremely weak. Do I really need to remind you all that these forum are ALWAYS filled with people who have problems, regardless of version or OS? You act as if this forum was a ghost town when Tiger and CS3 were current!
Gee, Ann ... people are STILL reporting problems with 10.5 and CS3? How shocking! Guess what - people are STILL reporting problems with 10.4 and CS3 too! Let me make a prediction - people will have problems with 10.8 and CS9!
Vincent-
> I don't really deal with fonts anyway ...
Yes. You do. Even if you never type a single line of text, every application uses fonts to create menus and other GUI items. If one of those fonts are bad, it can create all kinds of problems, including the very problems you mention.
The fact that you don't seem aware of this and you're still using 10.5.4 leads me to believe you're not familiar with the basic practices of maintaining a healthy system. Again, how did you install Leopard on that machine?
Look, if you're simply trying to justify using CS4, go right ahead. It's a worthwhile upgrade in it's own right. However, if you install it on that machine in it's current state, CS4 will NOT fix your problems because you do NOT have a healthy system.
You asked for experiences with Leopard - I can launch every application in both CS3 and CS4 suites
i simultaneously,
and STILL not have your issues. I haven't experienced anything like your CS3 problems in Leopard - on both a 2006 Mac Pro and a 2008 Macbook.
If you'd like help to try and figure out the real problem, I'm more than happy to help. If not, Adobe will gladly take your money ...

NEW Macbook user - problems with Flashdrive USB file transfer
Hi, I hope someone can help me. I am a new Mac user, I have just started with a macbook and the latest Leopard software. I have a problem in that I save my Word docs (created or worked on with Office for Mac) on a flashdrive/USB pen and then take the pen to college where I work on the word docs on a Windows XP system. When I open the USB drive I have 'ghost' files on there which don't appear on the USB when inserted in the Mac. They are either temporary files of the ones I worked on or are named ._.TemporaryItems and .-.Trashes. So far I have just deleted these. I'm worried that they are required for something on the Mac and although the files aren't large, around 4KB, I don't really want them on the USB incase they damage the other files. I'm working on a huge thesis right now and can't risk any files being damaged. I rang customer support and was told to format the USB, update the Pages software (even though I said I was using Office for Mac) and that there might be a virus on the USB. After all that i still get these same temp files appearing. Can anyone help? I am pretty illiterate with computers so not confident running codes/formatting.
As an aside - does anyone's Macbook cover attract dust over night? Mine attracts a nice grey layer as if by static - weird!Those additional files are perfectly normal. They are OS X system files... They are typically hidden when you use OS X... but since you are using a format that both Macs and PCs can read, Windows will usually see these files. You can leave them there or delete them... no harm either way.
So far as your dust issue. If you are getting a layer of dust that covers your MacBook overnight... it sounds like you may not be in the best environment. Are you saying you get a layer of dust on your MacBook... but nothing else? -
I have a new l7 Macbook Pro running snow leopard. When I tried to to install windows 7 32 bit on bootcamp, I kept getting a flicking black and blue screen when it tried to install. (Tried several times). I finally downloaded the bootcamp windows support to a flash. I inserted that and finally got it installed. Now when I try to boot into windows I get either a solid black (sometimes blue) or flickering screen and windows will not start up. If I then physically shut down the mac and restart, it will finally boot into windows where it tells me that windows was shut down unexpectently and once I click start windows normally, it will boot up. That will generally let me boot into windows for the remaining of the day. The next day, the same thing happens again. I have tried reinstalling several times, and the same thing keeps happening. It is not my windows disk because it installs flawlessly on the mid 2008 macbook pro. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?
Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system. -
Moved iMac = Macbook - LICENSING PROBLEM
Hi,
I just switched from an iMac to a Macbook. Got the Macbook for college stuff and I'll be selling my iMac shortly. I transferred everything over to my Macbook via an external hard drive, following the instructions on screen. It transferred everything successfully; couldn't be happier.
So I pulled up Photoshop CS3 on my new Macbook. The error message displayed is The licensing has stopped working, with no error code provided. Weird thing is, the products still worked on my iMac. So, I proceeded with these steps:
Deactivated my licensing on my iMac
Uninstalled Adobe CS3 on my iMac
Restarted my Macbook, same error
Used Adobe's license repair tool and removed the licensing registry from my iMac
Restarted my Macbook, tried again, same error
Uninstalled CS3 from my Macbook
Reinstalled CS3 on my Macbook
Restarted my Macbook, tried again, same error
Used the license repair tool on my Macbook, removed the licensing registry from my Macbook
Uninstalled CS3 from my Macbook, re-installed everything
Restarted my Macbook, tried again, same error
I am absolutely out of ideas as to what to do. Please note that this was a computer TRANSFER, so I don't suspect is has anything to do with the weird CS3 network errors some people have had in the past. Both my iMac and Macbook have Snow Leopard on them.
Technical support recommended I read the knowledgebase. I did so, tried all of their fixes/solutions, and still haven't been able to get the product to work. It's like my Macbook has some "licensing signature" on it that I can't delete. I deleted the FLEXnet folder, Adobe PCD folder -- everything. Why is it still doing this?
Thanks in advanced. Any ideas?Same story for me. I migrated from a G5 iMac running Leopard to a Intel MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Everything works except CS3. Photoshop Elements and Adobe Reader work but none of the CS3 elements work. Adobe Customer Service worked with me for 5 hours including waiting time. Technical Support now has the case. I have spent 3 hours working with them with no resolution in site. This is over a period of 11 days. It seems it would be easy to remove all registration files and do a clean reinstall. They don't seem to know how to do that. On problem I have is when they ask me to change the name of a file, even though I have read & write permission, the name won't change. I can remove files and folders, but there are some I can't change the name of.
Some things they had me try were Technote kb401528,
Error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" when you start any Adobe Creative Suite 3 application
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401528.html#MacOSX

Launching Adobe products on Mac OS X 10.6 results in error "Licensing for this product has stopped working"
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51260.html
Tech Support is now going over my installation log files, at least they had me send them to them. I never get any calls back. I alway have to call them and it takes over an hour to get someone to answer the phone. -
Macbook airport problems linked to battery power?
I too have experienced the macbook/airport problem, specifically since 10.5.8 came back. When I upgraded to 10.5.8, it was so useless that I just reinstalled tiger. Then Snow leopard came out and I upgraded only to experience the same problem but not as severe.
I have just been able to pin/point the problem today (mainly because I just grew so frustrated and spent considerable time trying to figure out). I have tried all the other potential fixes posted on here to no avail (changes airport settings, replacing card, changing dynamic IP to manual, encryption etc).
This is what I have determined and was able to reproduce it:
When macbook is running on power (plugged in):
If battery power is below 60%, connection is spotty - the lower it is, the worst the problem.
If the battery power is above 60%, no problems at all, runs fast and no drops.
When macbook power is not plugged in and running on battery:
Below 60% almost useless
Above 60% spotty and worse as the battery drains
Can anyone else test this out? I've sent Apple an e-mail.I've gone down to maybe 15% without any noticable difference in connection.

Wireless problem in leopard ... works in XP
Has anyone else had this problem? I get it periodically and it's quite irritating.
I try to connect to a wi-fi access point (right now it's a public access point at a hospital). OSX either won't associate with the access point or if it does it gets a self-assigned IP address (169.xxxxx) In any event it won't work.
However if I boot the same computer into Windows XP using boot camp then the same laptop hooks right up and starts working wirelessly. Also: My iPhone is able to connect to the same access point.
I even tried totally reinstalling OSX fresh on the same computer but I experienced the same problem. (So I subsequently rolled back using time machine.) I did a firm-ware update, but no change.
Has anyone else had this occur? Does anyone have a solution? It's embarrassing to have to boot into XP to work. (and even then I can't access my OSX apps that I need).Ellis Z,
You are not alone. I assume that you have a MacBook Pro and running Leopard 10.5.2 because, for all reports, this is the only Apple product combination experiencing this issue. If you look on the MBP discussion, you will see dozens of threads, hundreds of posts and thousands of views related to the Wi-Fi connectivity problem. I first discovered that when I ran my MBP under Windows Vista using VMWare, there was no connectivity problem (amazing, same hardware connecting to the same Wi-Fi only with the dreaded MS OS - and it works). I also have an iMac and no problems. My wife has a PowerBook G4 and no connectivity problems. It's only the MBP with Leopard 10.5.2. And, Apple remains totally silent on the issue. You can read posts of brand new MBP's coming right out of the box and not being able to connect via Wi-Fi. While Apple will tell us (the individual user) nothing about the problem or the pending fix, they have been forced by a BIG user (the NYC school system) to admit that there is a problem and that 10.5.3 will fix it. Unfortunately, we have been living with this problem since the release of 10.5.2 (several months)...and still, no release of 10.5.3.
Here are a couple of URL's posted on another thread that discuss the issue and how the NYC school system put a hold on all Apple orders until the fix is released.

Update 10.4.10 destroyed Macbook, can't install Leopard on reformatted HD
Hello,
I recently installed update 10.4.10 on my Macbook. After the update was installed, I was unable to drag any icon outside of it's existing window, firefox, adium, and thunderbird would no longer open, I was unable to run my music recording software and the computer became pretty much inoperable. So I figure now would be the best time to do a full and fresh install of Leopard.
I went out and bought a copy of Leopard and did an erase and install, to rid myself of any problems that may have been internally caused by update 10.4.10 and I get an error that says "Install Failed. The source media may be damaged. Try the install again." So I returned the disc to the nearest Apple store and tried the install with the new one. I got the exact same error, even after reformatting my HD. Every once and a while I'll get an install error that says there is a problem with /MacHD/Volumes/... (which is beyond me). I've ruled out the possibility of an HD problem or CD drive problem because I can still install my original version of Tiger. I've also tried just upgrading from Tiger to Leopard and I get the same error messages. Can some Please help me on this.
I bought a Mac so I wouldn't have these kinds of problems and now my business is suffering because my (new) Macbook can't run the (new) operating system. I feel that Leopard should beable to run on my new machine.
ps. I contacted apple support over the phone and they are sending me a new copy of leopard in the mail.
ANY HELP OR IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.Not so fast. I'm an admin servicing about 3 dozen Intel iMacs (the white ones) and 2 out of the 6 I've gone to upgrade to Leopard (via archive install) have given me the same message.
I've also had an intel MacBook Pro (1 out of 12 we have) give me this message as well, but it snapped out of it. I've also noticed on several of the MacBook Pro upgrades to Leopard that the hard disc did not show up in the Select Drive install window. I found that if I let it sit there a while (anywhere from 2-15 minutes) eventually the hard drive suddenly appears and I can install.
The white intel iMac I'm dealing with now (regarding the Bad Media) message is a dead end. I've tried two different Leopard discs. Then I tried putting the Leopard disc in a powerbook, booting the iMac into FireWire mode and mounting it to the powerbook. Then running the Leopard install from the powerbook but choosing the intel imac hard drive. I did this to eliminate a bad CD/DVD drive in the imac. No dice.
Finally I opened the thing and replaced the hard drive. After trying to install Leopard into the iMac with a NEW hard drive I still got the message "Can't install ... bad media source ... " etc. message.
Right now I'm installing on another identical iMac and it is proceeding as normal. When done I'm going to use CopyCatX to dup the install.
Never had anything like this with new installs of Apple OS's.
