Portion of the browser screen are flashing intermittently and when trying to select a link out of my drop-downs, clicking the mouse selects the link above it.

These issues occur only while using Mozilla Firefox. I'm utilizing a Lenovo Thinkpad:
1.Website seem to flicker on images, videos, maps as the mouse moves around the screen.
2. hovering the mouse over a link in the browser and left-clicking activates the link above(if there is one)
Not encountering issues with google or ie. this started a few days ago.
Thoughts?

Hello paulo.eichelberger, try '''disabling graphics hardware acceleration'''.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows:
#* click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''.
#In the Firefox Options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

    You need to select the "Manage My Account" link and not the "Reset Your Password" link.  Once you use the "Manage My Account" it will ask you to log in and in there you should see which email addresses are verified.

    Hello there, Subhi.sa.
    Just wanted to second Niel's recommendation. Additionally this Knowledge Base article also provides some steps you can take yourself if you don't remember your security questions:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email addresssign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    Thanks for reaching out to us on the Apple Support Communities.

  • In Firefox 4, I open an audio player (CBC Radio2), minimize it and then close the browser screen while listening. Later, when I reopen the browser, it goes to the last screen viewed instead of to the Home Page I set in "Options."

    Firefox 3 did not do this. It started right after I downloaded Firefox 4. The problem does not seem to occur when the audio player is not running. (I use Windows XP)

    You can check in the Windows Task Manager (Processes tab) if the Firefox program and the plugin-container process are closed properly and make sure that there aren't any hanging processes.

  • I have lost safari browsing, reinstalled it,  added update combo for lion and safari, now I don't have even have a drop down menu  under my apppleon the top tool, sometimes no responses to anything....stange garbled messages....reset safari many times...

    How do I know what I am running....how do I know if I stillave snow leaopard, after I bought the lion updade 29.99, safari stopped browisng....nothing is rigt, lost lots of fucnctions...don't know where my browser is, don't have a druop donw menu under apple on tolbar.
    RE installed 105.1 (orsomething,my appleico is blank), reinstalled safari  5.1.1, will not browse or searc....history or topsites picture windows anymore.....alll Icando is browse withyahoo, which I don't want. I don't know what a gmail counter is, or why  I have it all of a sudden, but can't get rid of it. Picasa rarel letmeclose it....what can I do?
    No Dock an more either.
    Preferences. or services under apple icon, ust startup disk, restart, shutdown.

    What you're describing makes no sense; it's a jumble of thoughts and supposed actions, but no concrete information to tell us anything.
    If you downloaded Lion, that would not cause what you describe. If you had Snow Leopard running when you downloaded Lion, that also wouldn't cause what you describe. So you had to ahve done something to end up in this state. You say you reinstalled 105.1, but there is no such thing; more likely you mean Mac OS X 10.5, in which case you've answered your own questionn about having Snow Leopard installed anymore.
    But if you did that, the question is why? Unless there was something catastrophic wrong with Snow Leopard, there would be no reason to reinstall Leopard. You also describe browsing with Yahoo, but that's not possible because Yahoo is not a browser. The Dock also does not just go "missing".
    You're going to need to reinstall Leopard using the Archive & Install option, and then install Snow Leopard to get back to a usable state. If you have a backup from prior to when all these problems began, that's good. If not, then you will have to take your chances on losing all your data if this doesn't work.
    Startup from your Leopard disc (if your system came with Leopard), choose your language, and then start the install process. Be sure to choose Archive & Install and Preseve Users and Network Settings before you start the installation. When it's done, let it restart and then check to be sure everything is in working order. If it is, put the Previous Systems folder in the Trash and empty it.
    Then download the 10.5.8 Combo Update from the Apple web site and apply it. Restart and check to be sure everything is working.
    Post back when you've done that.

  • Shuts down intermittently and when trying to boot to OS CD

    This MacBook has me stumped and I've searched the forums and Google for hours.
    Shuts down while using it intermittently, but will boot right back up. I can not determine if it is a bad logic board, hard drive, or something else. Have zapped the pram, rest the smu, used disk utility to repair permissions on the hard drive. In addition, when I try to run the hardware test DVD or techTools Pro DVD, the macbook reboots itself every time it gets to the initial hardware test screen (only flashes for a split second). I've tried the original system CD, techTools DVD and a retail OS X DVD.
    Any ideas?

    Ugh! Well I would start off with easy to test items such as a different battery, especially if you have access to one from a friend's MacBook. RAM and hard drive are also easy to swap out. The logic board is both expensive and a difficult repair.
    Truthfully, if you get that far, it may not be economical to repair.
    Best of luck.

  • I recently tried to burn some photos to a disc.  It did not work, but then I ended up with a .fpbf folder on my desktop.  Can't trash it, and when trying to burn again, I get this "... can't be burned because the original items can't be found". Help???

    I recently tried to burn some photos on a CD. For some reason, It did not work.  Now I have a .fpbf folder on my desktop. I can't seem to get rid of it.  I tried dragging it to the trash, but then I get a box asking my to type my password it, so Finder can make the changes.  Doing so, does nothing at all.  And when I try to burn another CD from the same .fpbf file, I get a the following message: "There are 35 items that can’t be burned because the original items can’t be found. Skip the items and continue burning?".   When I skip and continue burning, nothing shows up on the CD.  In the meantime, the .fpbf folder is still in my desktop.  I tried changing the aliases on each pic, but it still doesn't work.  Any ideas of how I can remove this folder from my desktop?
    Thank you.

    Beavis2084,
    Thank you for your detailed explanation but something is seriously wrong with my computer. Although the method you have described is very similar to the one I tried in step 2 from my second post, I have since "done things" which may have complicated matters—or suggests that my computer has a more serious problem.
    Here's what I did:
    1). Installed Onyx and discovered that I had a .plist file (com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist) that was causing a Syntax error: "Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header, if XML." After doing some research online, I was given the understanding that downloading the iLife update 9.0.3 (I installed the more recent version, 9.0.4) would solve this problem because it would also fix some system issues. So, I downloaded it...and when it didn't solve the problem, I decided to just deleted that .plist file.
    2). I read your knew post and decided to follow your directions, even though I realized they were basically the same steps I followed in the 2nd method I mentioned earlier. I say "basically" because, for some reason, after inserting a blank disc, my computer does not open the disc in the Finder. Instead, it places the blank disc's image on the Desktop, even though the Finder's Preferences and the System's Preferences are set to have it open in the Finder—nothing should be on my Desktop! (Note: When transferring the items (all folders) I want to burn to the blank disc, I did not use the Option-Click-Drag method as before, I used the Click-Drag method, which created the curved arrow in the lower left corner of each item.)
    Now, for the result of "method 2," the method we basically have in common, the computer goes through the burn stage but, in the verify stage, tells me that it is unable to verify the disk, suggests that my DVD may be unreliable and that I should try another disc, and then tells me about some "fork" (?) error (-43).
    I don't know what to do anymore...

  • TS3406 why do i get the message (LG-HBM760,I phone, speaker)when trying to make a call?

    why do i get the message (LG-HBM 760,iPhone,speaker) when trying to make a call?

    If you have a bluetooth device connected to the phone, it is allowing you to select the audio device you want to use to handle the call with. There should be a checkmark by the device it is going to use, and you can change that if you like.

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.

  • I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • When starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, then to color to color, any suggestion to fixing this problem?

    When i am starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, and then to color to color, and the whole process repeat all over again, is there any suggestion in solving this, or is there no way to solve this and i need to bring it to the apple support?

    Sounds as if you're having a problem with your GPU (graphics card). Only Apple can diagnose and fix this, so the best thing would be to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • The display of sub screen exceeds the sub screen area

    Hi Experts,
      I have a requirement, that i need to make changes to one of the screens in the standard transaction. I found there is a screen exit exist for this. This screen is called in the tab strip(In the standard transaction). I have done the screen changes in the sub screen. When calling the standard transaction this sub screen exceeds the sub screen area of the standard transaction tab strip. I know if the sub screen size is more than the sub screen area then scroll bars will be displayed automatically. But i am facing a strange problem that the display of sub screen exceeds the sub screen area. I need scrol bar instead of exceeding the sub screen.
      Please help me to solve this problem
    Regards,

    Anyone has any suggestions for my question. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

  • I have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

    i have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

    From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
    Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
    1. Restart the non-working iPad
    2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
    iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.
