Problems with flashing screens/photos, etc.

I am having issues with pictures/videos/advertisements flashing and not loading properly. How can I fix this? No problem for years, this has just developed.

Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.

Problem with flashing screen in clamshell mode

Running Mac Book Pro with 32" Samsung TV
DVI / HDMI connection
It was working okay for months.
I dont recall doing anything or connecting anything that woudl have changed the setting.
Laptop Screen is stable.
During clamshell and open mode (mirrored or not) TV screen is constantly flashing on and off like its refreshing. Its so bad its impossible to write a sentence.
Tried powering everything off, detecting monitors, resetting TV, changing resolutions, changing HDMI cable and HDMI DVI ports.... nothing works.
I have spent a day trying to get this running again. Any ideas?

carlfromchicago - I too am encountering the exact same issue. I have a MBP 17" 2.3 GHz i7 Core and am trying to use the Henge Dock to reduce the clutter on my desktop. To add to it, I also am using the Matrox Dualhead2GO DP edition to utilize dual monitors for MBP. The external monitors work perfectly fine as long as the MBP lid is open. It will also work intermittently as other users have encountered as well in this forum.
I know there was a software update on 06/23 for the Mac OS to 10.6.8 and then there was a Thunderbolt Firmware update on 06/30. Unfortunately, it did not resolve the issue for me. It still acts flaky I have yet to be able to use Henge Dock and at this point, from all the forums I've read, I think it is an Apple issue.
I am actually in the process of downloading OSX Lion so we'll see if this addresses the issue.

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

White/Black Screen Problems With Flash Player

I have had a problem with flash player since updating it in November. Certain websites such as YouTube and Worldstarhiphop work perfectly while other websites such as Facebook produce black or white screens when trying to play videos. If you attempt to play a video on a website in which you get the black or white screen, you can still hear the audio. While that is annoying it is only a minor inconvenience, the biggest problem is with other websites that require flash. I currently want to run an internet speed test on my computer but I can not find a website that my flash player will work with. The weird thing is that the animation at (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) plays correctly.
To fix the problem, I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall flash player. I have also tried changing the settings, enabling/disabling hardware acceleration. I feel like I've tried just about everything and I'm running out of ideas. I currently am using flash version 12.0.0.44 through Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.16518. My computer is running on Windows 7. Does anyone have any idea's on how to fix this problem?

I am having the same problems and have tried all the posted solutions with no positive result, so far.
Similar to above… on all of the web pages on which I am unable to see the flash videos, if I click in the flash window to start the video, all I get is audio playback with a black or white screen.
However… If I move the mouse around inside the flash window, I can see that the mouse pointer still reacts wherever the video control buttons are located at the bottom (although I can’t see the buttons, themselves). And if I click the “full screen” button …. usually in the lower right… my view goes to full screen and the video appears!
I don’t know about everyone else, but my problem appears to be limited to:
Specific websites (facebook, most news websites)… I have no problem with Youtube or the Adobe Test Page.
Viewing video in the embedded flash window on the web page... Opening the video to full screen allows me to see it.
I’ve tried this on several of my problem websites with consistent “success” at viewing videos. It's an annoying solution, but at least I can see the videos.

Problems with flash Player

So I'm having a problem with flash player, and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing, or might be able to help.
- Upgraded 2 computers to snow leopard, macbook pro laptop, and mac Pro tower (intel proc).
- Laptop has no problems, everything renders fine, and without any difficulty.
- Mac Pro doesn't display any dynamic data, text fields show up blank, some flash player controls don't work, brightcove player won't load completely... things are just not working right.
- Main browser is Safari, but same problem exists in Camino, Firefox, etc...
- I've had Safari Stand installed, but have since removed it.
- I've removed GROWL notifications completely
- I've got debug and developer menus turned on (but have that with the laptop also.)
Please see the screenshot attached. This graph should have text data on it showing the x/y axis, the key, as well as data when you mouse over each block, but doesn't show anything.
The second screen shot shows a brightcove player from our website... There should have full controls at the bottom, and nothing shows up. If I right-click, and go to 'view full screen', I can't then get out of full screen by clicking escape key on the keyboard, I have to use any player controls, or right-click again, and hit 'exit full screen'.
Anyone have any suggestions? It's something to do with my computer, rather than snow leopard, because flash works fine on my laptop, but not on the desktop. Any help is really appreciated !

Hi!
I reached your post because I was having the exact same issues as you and I found a fix that worked for me! The problem is a font issue: I logged in with the guest account that had no users font installed and flash was working fine, so I logged back into my account and moved all the fonts in my 'User>Library>Fonts' folder in a folder in the desktop. Then I closed and reopened Safari and Flash was working!
In the end the problem was with a version of Arial that I had in my users' font folder: I deleted just that, put my users' font back in the folder and the problem disappeared.
I hope it hepls!
best

Problems with Flash video playback

I'm having a problem with Flash video playback, hoping
someone here can help.
I have several movies which I have converted to .flv using
the Flash authoring tool. I have then created an .swf for each
movie, embedding the .flv along with the playback component,
playback controls, etc.
I can open these .swfs using Flash Player and everything
displays and plays as expected. However, when I embed the .swf into
a web page and open it using a browser, the playback controls don't
show up, and the movie will only play if it has been encoded to
autoplay. I am on an Intel Mac, using the latest Flash Player
plug-in, and am having this problem in both Firefox 2.0.0.11 and in
Safari 2.0.4.
I'm guessing that the problem lies in how I have encoded the
.swfs into the web page? Hoping someone has a solution, or at least
a good suggestion!
thanks,
- sounddevisor

Yes, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Just to clarify for anyone else who stumbles across this -
the extra .swf files (which contain the skin for the player) need
to be in the same directory as the .html doc which is displaying
the video .swf. Hope that helps someone else!

I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

Problem with corrupted iPhone photo albums

I have a problem with my iPhone "Photos" app.
When I open it is see hundreds of "ghost" albums in the Albums tab.
I have tried to turn off syncing photos in iTunes and then turn it back on again, and so deleting all albums and photos and then re-applying- but no luck. I also tried to sync with an empty folder on my Mac instead of the iPhoto library, but this still does not delete the albums.
Anyone know how to nuke the photos on an iPhone and start from scratch WITHOUT having to restore the iPhone to its factory state?

Here is what I see when I go to delete some of the rogue albums:
I could keep doing this but there are probably 300-400 of them!!!!!

Problems with Flash Video

OK - I have had intermittent problems with Flash video, basically it gets choppy, usually after about 20 minutes - half an hour of watching - recently this problem has gotten worse - coinciding with a recent system update perhaps? - it's more or less anytime I stream something, and it happens on all browsers, even when the movie has clearly downloaded and is buffered way in advance of the playhead.
On 2 occasions recently leaving the movie to play just to see what happens has led to a kernel panic.
I've heard alot about Flash video generally being a resource hog and not playing ball sometimes - is there a way to solve this issue? Things I have tried - reset sound to 16 bit 44.1 khz in audio/midi manager; fixed permissions; run Tech Tool - everything seems to be fine hardware wise - I think there are some incompatible driver issues that are meesing up RAM usage but have no idea what or how to solve this... Any ideas anybody?
Thanks.

If, as you show, you are running 10.5.2, that is out of date. You need to install the 10.5.8 combo updater.
It is also possible that your FlashPlayer is out of date.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Ongoing problems with Flash in Firefox 8

I am still having problems with Flash player since upgrading to Firfox 8 - see previous posts.
Symptoms:
When I try to access any flash containing page, the flash content does not load or play - the area it should be is blank or shrunk out - not even a token jpeg.
What I have tried:
Checked Flash is installed and enabled and up to date - all OK.
Tried re-installing Flash anyway - no effect.
Tried uninstalling flash and re-installing - this fixes the problem temporarily, but as soon as I shut down and restart, the problem returns.
Tried disabling other add ons - makes no difference. Only addon in this area is Freecorder toolbar.
Tried updating settings in Windows Firewall to ensure Firefox is allowed - no change.
Ensured my anti-virus/spyware program (PC Tools Anti-virus) is not blocking any of the websites - nothing there.
Checked situation in IE (Yuck!) - works fine there.

No response to this, and problem has not gone away. Looks like I am going to have to change browser....
