My screen keeps fluttering trying to double display

I'm having issues with my retina display with my MacBook Pro the screen keeps fluttering and trying to double itself over on and off in seconds

It sounds like a hardware problem, but you might like to ask the question somewhere other than the "Using iPad" forum...

Screen Keeps Dying - Tried Hard Reset and Factory Reset

I have a playbook which I recieved last spring and lately it has been giving me a lot of problems with the screen.
Starting around early December, the screen would not turn on after it had gone to sleep unless I pressed the power button on and off a couple times. Then, a few weeks later, that trick stopped working. I tried doing a hard reset where you hold down the power button and volume keys until it forces a hard reset. That worked a couple times also, then stopped working around the end of December.
Two days ago I did a factory reset by reinstalling the firmware. The device worked for a while, but today it is back to its same old problems.
I should note that when I say "the screen didn't turn on" in almost every circumstance, the backlight would turn on and a few pale lines would be displayed on the screen.
Is my playbook completely dead? Does anyone have any ideas what else I could do?

Try doing a search on this forum or on Crackberry.com. There was a procedure written on downgrading the OS.
Yes I know, I wanted Johnpiz to explain the suggestion. You have to root the Playbook and render the warranty void, break the agreement you made, and risk bricking the Playbook. Not advised in this forum any more than recommending jailbreaking on the Apple support forum.
And it will not fix the problem either.

I keep getting internet explorer cannot display web page when trying to download itunes. This only shows on half the page where the download link would be. My internet connection is fine.

You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.

Display screen keeps resetting every 5 miutes

Our business computer is an Imac G5 10.4.11 Tiger. The display screen keeps resetting every three minutes. It just flashes and resets itself. I don't loose anything but it's very annoying. I've reset the pram & nvram with no luck. I've also done all the repairs off the start up disk. Any thoughts?
<Post Relocated by Moderator>

Hey Michael,
I brought my Imac up to the Apple Store where we purchased it from. They had Friday & Saturday and called Sunday saying it was done. My wife brought it home and we plugged it in only to find it's still has the same problem. My wife said they went through the entire machine from top to bottom.
I called the store today and had to schedule my complaint with a service tech. I brought the machine up there myself and went through the steps (It kind of scares me when I know more than the kid helping me). I understand they have to learn somehow, I own a door & window company and totally see things from both sides. I asked for a supervisor, explaining I wasn't upset with the other staff person, I was just upset with the computer. I explained to them that I had removed the cover and looked at the capacitors with three of them bulging. I explained I had posted here for some answers and that I'd researched the issue. They told me all about the problems they had with this year and the capacitor issues were only covered for a three year period (I happened to be six months late) They then proceeded to tell me that it would cost me $900.00 to fix. I had to take a deep breath and keep my composure after that one.
My biggest complaint is they had problems with the machines logic board capacitors, but never told us it may become an issue. No letter or even the courtesy of telling us when it was serviced. I own a brand new 20" Imac, the 2005 Imac 20" (problem child), and around 10 other Imac's dating back to 2003, 4 Ipod Touch's, and 4 Iphones. Needless to say I have invested a large sum of money in Apple products. These are the only machines I've ever had since I can remember and I'll always support Apple products. It just really ****** me off when they had my machine in for power supply repairs a couple times and never said a thing to us about possible problems down the road. Now they want me to sack up $900.00 for repairs when I can get a new one for around $1200.00.
I know that these issues arise in every kind of industry. I deal with them all the time, but if I know there's a flaw that will kick my rear end down the road, I''l head it off as fast as I can to avoid angry customers. I also don't have the volume Apple has when it comes to sales, so my issues really have no validity, they have to cut it off somewhere. Is there any other route I can take to try and get this $2600.00 computer fixed without kicking my rear?
By the way, thanks for answering questions, I do it on a couple boards in my industry. I know how people beat you up on certain issues without knowing your doing it for free. I know where your coming from and want to say Thank You for your time!!!

Screen keeps saying Setting date and time, tried to reset and or restart still won't reset

Screen keeps saying Setting date and time, tried to restart and reset but does not work,did follow direstions unplugging apple TV still not resetting/restarting, any help?

Aha! A bit more searching and I found the answer that just fixed it for me.
Press Menu and the Back arrow at the same time until a broken chain icon appears on the top left of the screen.
Let them go....
Press Menu and Right arrow (forward arrow) until a "fixed" or "whole" chain appears.
This enabled my apple tv to once again respond and get off the "setting time and date" screen.
Hope it works for you.

My iPod Nano Sixth Gen keeps pausing randomly and the screen keeps coming on at random times. It has only started doing this the last 2 days. Tried resetting, unplugging headphones

My iPod Nano 6th Gen keeps pausing. It does this sometimes immediately. Sometimes when the screen goes dark. Sometimes after like 15 minutes.
The screen keeps going off and on at random too.
I tried resetting the settings, resetting with the buttons, searching for additional updates, unplugging the headphone and replugging it TIGHT, and new headphones.
Not only is this annoying, but the power is draining MUCH quicker between the screen coming on and having to turn it on to restart it.

If a restore of the Nano in iTunes to factory settings does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, meaning you should take or send your iPod in for service.

My computer crashed and I've tried restarting and keep getting a grey screen. Have tried most of the options on the Apple support site

My computer crashed this morning. Tried to restart and get nothing but grey screen. Have tried soft boot, reseting PRAM. Tried my original disc and now that is stuck in the drive. Nothing but grey screen appears.

On the bottom of the MBP is the serial number. Enter it here and post back the model/year information.

Satellite A300 screen keeps jumping up and down

Hi,
What is on my screen keeps jumping up and down, any thoughts, is this a problem with video card in Satellite A300?

I have tried to install the display driver from the European website. During uninstallation I got a messgae to say failures occurred during uninstallation, and then during installation I got the message of Install package failure!
I have my external monitor now connected to laptop, but in personalising display settings, I cannot get my computer to recognise that I have two monitors now, as both keep coming up with number 1 (Multiple Monitors) on ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, and they both have that degraded view, a bit like in safe mode.
So in checking of device manager under display adapters I have:
ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650
and under Sound, video and game controllers I have:
High Definition Audio Device
Realtek High Definition Audio
In this whole process I deleted a file that was previously here called
ATI HMD...
should I resinstall this?
So I'm not sure if the new display driver has been installed? help.

Full screen keeps video size the same, fills the rest with black border

I am having an issue when trying to watch olympics on the BBC website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video
When I click any video (live or archived), it gives options with three players to watch it in. According to the FAQ page on the site, the only way to get a true full screen experience (no letter boxing), is to use the "pop-out" player, then click full screen. When I do this, the picture size remains the same and goes to the upper left corner, with the rest of the screen filled with black (see attached photo). I have tried EVERYTHING. And by everything I have tried:
Chrome, Firefox, IE, all with the most recent update and most recent flash player
Tried reverting to a previous version of flash player
Tried disabiling hardware accelaration
Tried changing the screen resolution
Tried using an external HDMI display
Tried starting with a "clean" test windows user
Tried updating my video card driver
I have no idea what else to do, with the end goal of being able to stream the olympics for the next two weeks on my HDTV through HDMI. Please assist. thank you in advance

Hi Willy:
I just tried the link and got the same "can't show this" message as Pat, but WAS able to call up the player by clicking on the yellow button near the bottom, marked "Watch the Film."
I tried viewing it full screen by simply double-clicking in the center of the video and it displayed full screen mode on my PC. I'd guess that the video comes from the same source as the streaming version. I tried some of the other videos on the site and they all displayed full screen correctly. I couldn't locate the "archived" videos you mentioned, though, to check them.
Have you tried simply double-clicking the video to make it full screen?

My Droid Razr M home screen keeps crashing after the update. Can it be reversed?

My Droid RAZR M is now a paperweight. The home screen keeps crashing. I'm forced to access anything by sliding down the main screen and going to the new settings area, which I discovered. I tried forcing the app to stop, but that didn't do anything. I cleared the cache, disabled it - nothing. I HATE THIS! I want to make it go away. Is there anything short of resetting the phone that can UN-update the update?
Oh, and also, now my texts are Google talk - ugh. double ugh.
Frustrated here.

Not even factory reset will roll back the update. My issue was a loss of the ability to connect to WiFi anytime after about 20 minutes after reboot.
The only thing I can suggest is to call tech support and let them walk you through a couple of routines and then they can send out a replacement phone. (It's what I had to do.) My issue is that the replacement is running 4.1.2 and now my FitBit won't work with it. I wish I did not upgrade from 4.2. (Maybe another release?)

MacBook Pro screen keeps going odd colours

My Mid 2009 MBP's screen keeps going a single colour full screen. It has happened several times. I have attached an image to show what happens.
I have tried to replecate it, but the first time it happened I was tying. The second time (turned grey) I moved the MacBook and the third time (burnt orange) I moved the display. I have since tried shaking the laptop, and moving the screen, but nothing.
Is this a common thing?

I don't know how much you're willing to spend to get a 'like-new' notebook, but you may want to take the machine into one of your local Apple Stores and ask about Apple's flat rate repair pricing. I don't know that it's available worldwide, but at least it's worth asking about.

My ipad2 screen keeps dimming and staying that way. And I can see the reflection of the app I most recently closed. Help?

My ipad screen keeps dimming and has ghost images of the previous open app. Can this be fixed? Help.

Did you ever resolve this issue? I have an iPad with a similar problem. After a software update the screen went very dim. I have just finished trying to restore the iPad to the latest iOS 8.1.3. The display is still very dim. The backlight does change when you adjust the brightness slider but at maximum brightness it is just barely possible to see what is on the screen. What makes me think this is software related is, like you said, there are remnants of previous screen images overlaying the current screen. For example, when I restored the ipod, I enter DFU mode so the screen showed the "Connect to iTunes" images. After restoring and rebooting there is not change but the "Connect to iTunes" images are still showing up on top of the normal screens. Even if I power off the iPad and turn it back on that image still appears as if it is permanently burned into the LCD. There are more previous screen images appearing underneath the current screen as well (e.g., I can see the System Settings window faintly under whatever screen I'm currently on). Would like to know if your problem required a new logic board, new LCD, or if you were able to resolve it with software tricks. Please respond if possible.
