Picture tiling, pixilation and freezing
We called Comcast for the same problem after two calls to support and multiple steps scheduled a tech. Tech came told us TV shot needed a new one. At the time we couldn't get some channels at all - others with these issues. Husband came home turned on TV and all channels worked with only some experiencing this problem. Reading this post seems like this is a common problem. I would have been really mad if I bought a new tv and had the same problems. It only happens in TV with HD box. Very frustrated with this company!

We were having the same problems with digital service in one room with HDTV. We called Comcast and did troubleshooting three times. They scheduled a service call. The tech came and told us we needed a new television but when I read this forum it seems it is a constant problem. This is not on all channels and the television is fine. Now I am being charged $70 and almost bought a new TV when this one is fine. Comcast refunded me and charged me again for the $70. We pay alot for horrible HD service. Considering a change? Paying a tech who did not fix our problem and recommended a new TV when ours if fine. Seriously... We need this problem fixed. A couple of things I would try.... (a) change out the HDMI cable for a better quality cable, (b) you didn't state the issues, but if you are experiencing pixelation or interruptions this could be caused by a frequency deficiency.... You should demand another TECH be onsite as the last Tech did nothing for you.... you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!!!!! -=Ray=-

IMac picture pixilated and freezes up on start up.
When I start my iMac it seems to start ok at first, then the screen gets pixilated and freezes up. Some times I can get further in the start up process than others. I did just update to OS 10.10.3.

My MacBook Pro Keeps Crashing and Freezing
Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro which I purchased in October of 2007. Yesterday, I started experiencing some extreme problems with it. Here is how it began:
I was using Windows XP through Boot Camp when the screen began to flash rapidly. The same picture would remain, but the screen would flash white for a split-second and then be a normal screen. For a little while, this kept going on and I was still able to move my mouse (although I wasn't able to use my mouse to interact with any objects). Then, after a minute, my mouse was no longer able to move and the screen froze. I turned off the computer and then started it up again, but I was not able to get it to work. On the grey apple screen, the apple logo showed up along with the time dial below it. The time dial completed and the screen began to change, when suddenly the screen froze. I restarted the computer and this process repeated itself several times. I even tried entering into Windows through Boot Camp, but every time I would select Windows, the screen would go black and freeze.
Finally, I gave up and left my computer alone. I came back an hour and turned on my computer, and it somehow managed to work. Even the Windows side worked. However, after using OS X for a while it froze. This has happened again many times. The windows partition seems to be much more finicky than the OS X partition. Windows fails to boot >50% of the time and when it does boot, it will invariably freeze or crash within an hour. However, when I run Windows through VMware Fusion, it is much more stable.
Here are the cliff notes and other observations:
-MBP screen started flashing and froze. Since then, my MBP is often unable to boot up. When it does boot up, it often ends up freezing (Windows or OS X side).
-When OS X loads after having a series of Boot Up problems, an error report will be generated. This error report has been submitted several times to Apple.
-I am currently living in Argentina and do not have any access to any sort of Apple Support or Apple Stores.
-I do have a 3-year extended warranty on my MacBook Pro.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.My Mac just crashed again. Here is the error report:

G50-70: empty DVD-drive clicking and freezing other drives for about 30 seconds all the time
Hello board. Big problem. Seem to be the only one having this after searching the board:
Brand new G50-70: When using OS from the SSD or using OS from the SSD and doing things with a USB-drive, the empty internal DVD-drive making clicking sound and sometimes freezing SSD read/write operation for about 30 seconds but all the time freezing USB-storage read/write operation for about 30 seconds.
When freezing there's always clicking. But when clicking there's not always freezing except when using USB-storage.
OS is Win81-64.
An example scenario: connect USB stick, open terminal, type diskpart, dvd-drive clicks and freezes opening of diskpart for about 30 seconds, then the same may or may not happen when entering commands like clear the stick and format the stick.
Any clues, why I have this issue? Thank you very much for reading.
Solved!
Go to Solution.hi georg43,
it's possible that there's a software running on startup that's accessing the ODD when the machine is being used (especially if the ODD LED blinks when it's being accessed)..
To check, you can perform a clean boot to temporarily disable apps & services running on startup. If the machine functions properly on a clean boot, you will need to enable the startup services/programs that you have disabled in groups of two or three (trial and error) to find the culprit. You can start by enabling the lenovo services and apps first followed by the Intel ones and observe.
In addition, you can also try to disable the DVD-drive under device manager and observe.

Late 2011 MacBook Pro 15 - Slow and Freezes
Good Morning.
This is MBP is running slowly and freezes, particularly if watching video, but is sluggish even opening applications from finder.
The MBP was taken to a apple service provider with the complaint of very sluggish and a strange graphic issue (The graphics were garbled at times - there is a known issue with logic boards.) a picture of the graphics was provided.
The service provider stated that the HDD drive failed the SMART test but graphics passed his test. When questioned if he was comfortable that nothing was wrong with graphics based on picture he stated that he advised I take it to the apple store. Which I did. There the MBP passed both the graphics and HDD test. based on the photograph the no less than 3 geniuses agreed the logic board was bad, though it wasn't the "typical" failure. The genius bar was given the information about the apple service provider and slowness. All of that was entered into the comments.
The MBP was sent to apples repair depot where the logic board and magsafe board was replaced. and the MBP was returned with assurances that all was well.
Though the graphics issue has not reoccurred the speed is not any better and may be worse. (in excess of a minute fifteen boot, noticeable delay opening browsers or menus).
Additonal information:
When provided to the apple service provider (and presumably the apple store) the computer contained the original 4gb ram. and had never been opened. The ram showing on this report is crucial, contains the mac logo and was installed because the service provider said 4gb was low, so when the computer returned and was still slow it was tried - it seems to have made no difference).
The HDD failed to secure erase the freespace on HDD 3 times prior to repair with the message "could not create temp file" after running overnight.
I've reset PRAM and SMC and run trough various "why is my mac slow" guides to no avail.
The anti virus was also added post repair to look for any thing malicious.
Help please.

That recall is not just for the Retina model:
From:

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
I'm aware of that recall it is the "known problem" I mentioned in the original post, however the linked story RE: Yosemite referenced retina MacBook Pros
There is an issue in retina MBPs and Yosemite:
http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/
"Regardless of symptoms, the issue has been traced to switching to the discrete GPU from the integrated GPU.
Read more: http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/#ixzz3YWcK80s9"
So I was not sure if this was discussing a separate issue, that is why I mentioned it was not a Retina.
"Does "disk warrior" report anything that the apple store test would not?"
The Apple Store would run the Apple System Diagnostic (ASD).
Re:
http://www.dannydullin.com/apple-service-diagnostic-asd-reference-list/
The trick when you take it to the Apple Store is to make your computer repeat the failure that you see. It actually would be a good idea to get it to fail just before your appointment. Don't shut it down just take it to them frozen.
Then you can hand the genius the MBP and say, "This is what happens."
Actually a suggestion of another senior member around here. I'd credit her if I could remember who it was.
They ran two test one was a video test and the other was a hard drive test "quick apple store" that said it "randomly checked disk" or something close to that.
I can only hope to get it to fail right before going. - only real problem is that considering the apple disclaimer about their responsibility for your data, there is absolutely no way they are getting it with our data on it. But if I can get it to fail I'll let them see it before wiping it... I mean the sluggishness is obvious so at least they can see that.
I do appreciate the ideas. There were a number of people there when I dropped it off the first time, one of them was on her third logic board. Another on the second. -
I have a 2008 Mac Pro, which has served me well since I got it, at least until a day or two ago. At that time, it started exhibiting sporadic black flickering on screen, paired with freezing. At first, everything would freeze except the audio, which would continue playing uninterrupted, and after a minute or so the system would unfreeze like nothing happened. Now, though, it seems to have gotten worse; the system doesn't seem to recover after a flickering episode, and even the audio will get stuck into a one second loop after a while.
I tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC. When that didn't work, I tried restarting into Lion Recovery mode with Command-R. For some reason, that sent me right to a reinstall screen, but it didn't matter, because the screen started flickering and the system froze almost immediately after startup. I'm pretty sure that what it froze in was a separate recovery partition, so that should rule out any software issue. I'm guessing that my video card is fried, but I'd like to see what others think; I'd like to avoid buying a video card that I don't need.2009 Mac Pro 3,1, GeForce 8800GT, 6GB ram.
I have recently had the same problems. Screen flickering, tiling and freezing previous to this video settings I've had for a long time just changed. I am not sure if it is my monitor or graphics card. My graphics card was replaced once already. This is acting a little different this time.
I also reset pram am still running 10.6.8 -
How do I determine what is causing Screen pixilating and jumping on my G5
I have an IMAC-G5 that is now causing problems. Screen is pixilating, vibrating and freezing. Any ideas on repairs?
I advise you take it to the apple store, often things like this are no easy fix and can be caused by many things, faulty wiring, dust, overheating, simple parts malfunctioning. I am no expert but I recommend that you use a vacuum to check for dust, if it does not run on SSD but HDD make sure the fans all work and keep it elevated you can also look for obvious problems.

Safari pinwheels and freezes the entire system.
Safari pinwheels and freezes the entire system.
I've read numerous threads with this Safari pinwheeling theme, but none of the posted solutions I've found work for me.
The problem:
Safari will almost always on opening, and frequently when filling in forms on websites, start pinwheeling. The whole system then slows down, and then eventually freezes. Even the dock bar freezes. When this happens, I can't even bring up the Force Quit bar. The freezing will often last several minutes, then all of a sudden, all my various previously ignored mouse and key clicks cycle through. When Force Quit finally starts, then everything freezes again. Eventually, Force Quit will show Safari as not responding, and once in a while the system then will start responding, but usually I have to kill Safari.
The problem subsided a little bit on the opening the application problem when I switched my start page from Apple.com to Google.com, thinking that maybe it was just too much graphics crap coming in on the Apple site.
The problem happens on both my Airport and cell modem network connections.
I may have seen this behavior once with Firefox, but haven't been able to reproduce it.
Generally I only have a few things running: Excel, Messenger, Safari.
Things I've tried to fix this:
Reset Safari
Clear Safari Cache
Delete Safari folder in the system cache folder
Went into the Energy Saver in Preferences and unchecked, "put disk to sleep when not in use" for both the battery and power adpater settings
Limit number of tabs open
I'd try restarting Safari occasionally, but the problem usually happens on opening.
I've emptied the trash, and made sure there is ample open disk space (10gb right now).
Resolved duplicate fonts.
I have no third party apps to affect Safari or networking.
I've reset the machine by unplugging it and holding the power button.
My computer is a MacBookPro 15" with all the latest software and firmware updates and 2gb RAM. This has become so frustrating, it's been very tempting to just throw the laptop at the wall and go back to my Windows laptop...I'd say the bad blocks were behind the problems you were seeing. Their existence points to either a defective HD, or directory corruption. The latter usually can be repaired by using a Utility such as Disk Warrior, or as you did, reformatting the drive.
Best approach to minimizing directory problems is to do routine maintenance twice a month. Have a look at this MacWorld article for suggestions.
For routine maintenance I use OnyX. There is no charge for the software, but I believe the developer asks for a donation.
It's very easy to use. I run it twice a month. Once it is installed, you would double click on the OnyX icon in your application folder (or drag an icon to your dock for quick access) to open the application. After entering your administrator password, you would select "automation". The panel looks like this:
Select the same items I have checked. The program takes about 5 to 10 minutes to run. Leave your computer alone, that is, don't use it for anything else until OnyX is finished. Once complete, restart the computer and you're good to go.
Lastly, the most effective maintenance is having a full backup of your system on an external hard drive. All machines fail eventually, despite the best maintenance. If you had a hard drive failure without any backup, then you would lose all your information, including documents, images, songs, etc. Not a pretty picture.
For your system, you would purchase either a USB or Firewire Drive for your new Intel Machine. The key here is creating a "clone" backup on the drive, which you back up regularly, or at least once a week. For the backup process I use SuperDuper. Very easy to use. The initial backup takes about 1 to 2 hours. Subsequent backups take 5 to 10 minutes. Total $$$ investment can be anywhere between $100 - $250 depending on the size of your Hard Drive.

IMac G5 PowerPC boots up and freezes at light-blue screen
PowerPC G5 20" iMac, 2.0GHz, +260 GB harddrive, 2 GB of DDR SDRAM
Leopard OS 10.5.6
Computer starts up and freezes at light-blue screen. Mouse still moves, bu no keyboard commands work. Only holding the power button will shut down the computer.
Tried the following:
- Able to boot into Safe-mode only.
- Ran OS Disk Utility to repair permissions and also MacTuneUp 3.6.0, and no change
- Tried changing start-up to boot from OS 10.5.6 DVD and still freezes with light-blue screen. Safe-mode allowed me to run Disk Utility but no difference.
- If I leave the frozen light-blue screen, eventually the iMac power-saving mode darkens the screen, until I move the mouse (then light-blue again and still frozen).
- I left my iPhone connected to the iMac, and when starting up the computer the iPhone started charging. When the light blue screen froze the iPhone stopped charging.
- tried starting computer with Options + Command keys
- tried + Options-Command-P-R untill you hear two beeps: Reset NVRAM (restart 3x)
- tried Resetting the SMU > Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord. > Wait 10 seconds.> Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer. > Let go of the power button. > Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
Questions:
> When booting from OS 10.5.6 DVD, Should I run Time Machine Restore system from Backup?
> I can work fine in Safe-mode all day, but limited resources. Is this a software or hardware issue?Based on what you have you tried I would guess it is hardware problem.
First iMac's without camera and with GeForce FX 5200 graphics card are known of having capacitor failures which can cause the machine either to become unstable in different situations or fail to boot up at all. I have repaired many of them and changing capacitors brought completedly dead iMac (no power, no nothing) up to life so capacitors mean a lot.
Second and third it's mainly the graphics card which fails, causing the machine to fail to boot, become unstable or boot with artifact patterns in picture.
There has also been power supply issues and Apple did issue a recall back then, I think you can still find article about it and check if your machine has serial number which fits to that recall problem. This way you could check if you should suspect power supply going bad.
Capacitor problem is usually easy to identify (open up the case and look if those can-like things are bulging or swollen) and quite easy to repair if you have bit experience in computers and soldering, iFixit.com provides great disassembly instructions. Graphics card problem is harder to identify because in that case it is the solder which breaks under the graphic chip so you cannot actually see the defect. It is also harder to repair atleast if you want the machine to work long time after that repair. Basically you would need to heat the GPU enough to reflow solder connections.
Because the machine can boot into safe mode I'm suspecting that you have some of these issues I described, safe mode does not utilize hardware at full power and disable full graphics acceleration for example. -
Why is my ipod touch 5g lagging and freezing in Safari?
Especially when the webpage has pictures/photos/visuals/graphics, Safari lags and freezes hugely and is basically inoperable. I've tried resetting the device (holding home buttona and sleep button at same time until apple logo appears) but doesn't help. What's going on? I'm very dissapointed at Apple.
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.
- Go to Settings>Safari and Dlete Cookies, Data and History

Why is my purchased tv show skipping and freezing?
I bought two episodes of a TV show and they've both completely downloaded, however when I try and watch them they skip and freeze and it seems as if the sound doesn't match up with the picture. Any idea why this is happening? I've never had any trouble playing content on my laptop before.
Hi, ANM100.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple resources I could recommend to help you troubleshoot this issue. The first article will help troubleshoot the audio and video out of sync issue. If the media has been purchased from iTunes it could be an issue with the downloaded media. You can delete the problematic media and download it again free of charge by following the steps in the second article.

Computer running slow and freezing up
Hi all,
Is there anything I can run on my mac to clean it out and make it stop being too slow and freezing up? Like a clean out?Easiest way is to have an external drive to which you copy the things you store like pictures, movies, and music
which take up a lot of space. Then delete them fron the main drive and clean it up with one of the maintenance utilities. You can readily access the external drive's contents whenever you wish.

It doesnt matter what site or what I am doing it will come up randomly and freeze firefox then finally a box pops up and says Flash is busy or not responding continue or stop plugin. Naturally I stop plugin. I always install the latest flash versions I have even uninstall and reinstalled flash and downgraded and still no change or it bugs me to update. I am using firefox 26.0 I usually stay away from the betas if all possible. My biggest worry with using the reset firefox or making a new profile is my fast dial I have tons of sites right there waiting for me to click on and im afraid if I do all this I will lose it. But I have used same profile for years and years so maybe its time. I will just have to redo my fast dial I guess Unless someone can come up with another way to do it. I have disabled hardware acceleration on firefox I have to it makes my browser do some weird things. I also have disabled Hardware acceleration in flash as well. I have cleant temp files and registry. I am good with computers but have never seen issues like this with flash. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks.
Sounds like you have done a lot. Have you tried to make a new profile for TESTING purposes only? You could have a bad profile. it is possible.
Also, have you tried protect mode for flash? I wrote up a bat file to set it up so you don't have to go digging through system files.
Also i have some unorthodox methods you will not see in these forums to try out if you are interested as they have resolved several peoples that i can confirm issue. I have been going crash free for over 6 months now since i implemented. Believe me some issues nothing in these forums will resolve. Click on my name on the left there is a blog i created just for this issue with all the info and some of the fixes. Everything is fully automated. Very little user interaction.
This will NOT work for everyone, but you cant hurt by trying

When I start up Bridge CC I get a error message instructing me to purge cache in preferences which I do but it doesn't work and freezes my mac. I cannot curretnly use Bridge CC. PLease help as this is costing me time and money - thank you in advance....
Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge, keep it down until you see a dialog box, then click all three options in the re-set box that comes up.
If you don't see that re-set box, you're doing it wrong, i.e., you're not holding the Option key down fast enough. -
X100e Hanging and Freezing on Wireless
There was a different thread addressing freezing and hanging when connected via ethernet; however, I have had ethernet disabled from the BIOS since day one of receiving my system but I found my system to be locking up extremely often particularly when connected to the Wi-Fi at Purdue University.
For reference: The wireless network at Purdue University uses WPA-Enterprise with PEAP + Thawte Security Certificate.
Naturally, I had the latest BIOS (1.25) and had all the updates available from ThinkVantage System Update, but this did not seem to help any - when I was browsing on my university network it would simply hang and freeze up completely every 30 minutes or so, forcing me to restart the system. It would seem to freeze regardless of whether or not I was even doing anything on the internet.
There did not seem to be any serious issues on my home network, however, which used WPA2-Personal, but I do not really use my x100e at home enough to say for sure.
I was quite convinced that there was some sort of problem with either the wireless adapter drivers or some sort of power saving feature at this point, so I uninstalled the Lenovo x100e wireless drivers and obtained the newest drivers for the RTL8192SE chipset directly from RealTek and installed them.
I then went and disabled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for the wireless adapter from Device Manager. I also set the wireless adapter to "Maximum Performance" and turned off PCI Express Link state power management from the power manager. I also turned off idle timers for stopping hard disk rotation, system standy, and hibernation.
Now after this little set of actions I seem to be able to more or less surf and download things stably on my university network. I must note that, the system will still hang every now and then while I am browsing around. I don't notice any particular pattern to this hanging; it simply happens when I have a browser open and am surfing normally - it will hang for about 40 seconds or so (I can move my mouse but nothing will respond) and then it will simply resume normal operation.
So there is my story....
Has anyone else ever experienced hanging or freezing on wireless networks with their x100e?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello,
So far, my networking results with my ThinkPad X100e have been very good, but I have only used it on a few networks.
Have you tried using your ThinkPad X100e on different wireless networks to see if the results vary? Perhaps the problem occurs with wireless networks that are configured in a specific fashion or using specific hardware. Connecting at a local coffee shop or public library or other venue with wireless Internet access may provide a different experience.
