Random black screen for 1 second, anyone have this issue?

hi, my macbook pro randomly switches to a black screen
reading threads on black screens, it seems its a common complaint
however I just got mine 2 weeks ago..should a brand new macbook be doing that?
or is it a commonly reported design flaw?
thanks!

I've experienced the same issue exactly as described, with the R7850 Twin Frozr OC Edition. However, I've also experienced a crash or 2 in which the screen goes black and the monitor goes to sleep. The computer doesn't wake up and I'm forced to do a hard reset. One such event was severe enough that I was unable to restore Windows 8 and had to do a full reinstall...!)
Everything is clocked at factory default, passes Memtest 86+, Prime95 overnight run, even FurMark successfully...
Board: ASUS P8Z77-M
Bios: American Megatrends Inc., v1708
VGA: MSI R7850 Twin Frozr III 2GD5/OC

CPU: Intel Core i5-3750K

Sound card: Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer

OS: Windows 8 Pro, 64-bit
When I tried to save the GPU-Z BIOS settings to a file, my computer crashed my computer (!)... Hopefully this is sufficient to indicate if I should follow the same steps or if this is a different issue / hardware issue / ???

Thanks for the help.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before

MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before? I've only had this for about 3mos. I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

Hi S,
Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

Yes

Software issue iphone 4s:Apps open and close by themselves almost as if someone is pressing the buttons, anyone have this issue?

Recieved my 3rd iphone 4s due to battery issues and got another dud. While in use, the apps will open and close on there own, email will get deleted while I'm reading them or archived. while looking through my contacts directory, the phone will select a contact creating an outbound call. This is frustrating. Any one else have this issue?

Hi Ralph9430,
I've tried this numerous times and have the same issue. I've even restored the phone to factory settings and removed everything and problem persists.
Cheers

HP 15-f024wm laptop, Certain keys don't respond well, anyone have this issue???

Hi, I recently bought a HP 15f-024wm laptop and I've had keyboard issues from day 1. The problem is mainly with the "H" key and the comma key. They do not respond well unless I press them hard, which is really aggravating when you're trying to type fast. I always have to be conscious of how hard I'm pressing the keys or else keystrokes are missed. Does anyone else have this problem? I keep thinking that maybe it's something I did, but I've been super careful with this laptop so I can't think of anything I could have done to cause this. If this is just how the keyboards are, then I can live with it, but it's bothering me not knowing if it's something I did or if this is just how they are. I really do not want to have to return this laptop. I like everything about it except the keyboard. Anyone else experience this issue?

@vincentd1215 ,
Thank you again for posting back with your information. When dealing with a key issue like you are having it usualy due to the contact pad on the keyboard being worn or having something not letting it make full contact.
To fix this you would have to normally have the keyboard replaced.
Before that try first updating the drivers for the keyboard. Here is a link for your notebooks support page. Here you will find the software and drivers. As well you will find the Maintenance and Service Guide. You can use that to see if you can open up the notebook and check to make sure the keyboard is in place and connected correctly.

Connect in recovery mode and set it up as new device, explained here:

Jailbreaking can also be a reason for that.

HT4352 I have home sharing turned on on my computer but the Apple TV does not recognize it even though the same Appleid and password is used. Does anyone have this issue and, if so, how did you resolve it?

Issue with Apple TV not recognizing the home sharing option in itunes. Calls for paswrod but even when added it still does not recognize it. iTunes indicates that the home sharing optionis on but this is apparently not seen by Appletv. How can this be resolved?

Hi Augstiner57, I have the same problem. Did you figure it out? Mine seems to have happened after I updated Apple TV. Now it doesn't recognize my Home Sharing even though on my MacBook is it turned on.
I am running an old OS though (Leopard) so I am wondering if I need to upgrade.

Does anyone have this issue

Why my iPod touch won't play movies when I connect it to car radio it use to work before

You can 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If not successful it means the iOS update caused the incompatibility and you will have to wait for an update to either the car system or iOS.

HT201239 "Card not added. contact card issuer" anyone have this issue

I repeatedly get this message when submitting my Wells Fargo debit Visa card. Spent hours on the phone with both Apple and Wells Fargo Tech support. They could not fix. I've gone as far as canceling my card number and getting an entirely new card number but to no avail. Please help.

First make sure you are using the latest drivers...
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Eleven-Rack-Drivers
However the latest ones are not yet confirmed as working to OS X 10.10.3 so you may need to wait for an update from Avid....
Test and see....
Note: It's always a good idea not to update OS X or Logic Pro until after you have checked if there are working drivers for your external hardware first.. especially, in my personal opinion... in the case of Avid hardware drivers which are know to lag behind in development..

After update, keyboard and trackpad does not work on MBA but wireless mouse works. I don't use a wireless keyboard. Stuck at login because need to enter pw. Anyone have this issue? Please help!

My Macbook Air (13", mid 2011) right after I did the Maverick OS update. My keyboard on Macbook Air is not working and it says "There isn't a keyboard connected" (Bluetooth Keyboard Setup). I do not use a wireless keyboard. Apparently my bluetooth works because my wireless mouse works. I am currently stuck at my login screen not being able to get in because I can't even enter my password. I am, however, able to login as guests and get to the Keyboard viewer to type things with my wireless mouse. I really need my keyboard to work to use for my job. I need help please!

I forgot to mention that my power button did work but everything else, keyboard and trackpad, didn't! Anyway, I shutdown my laptop, slept, and turned it back (in hopes that it might work instead of restarting it like before). Now my keyboard and trackpad works! Thank goodness! I was about to go to the Apple store upset too!

When i open cellular data from iPhone..it goes from 4g to 3g instantly an then after a while it goes to 4g..and the same thing again when i turn it back on..that didn't occured with ios7..does anyone have this issue?

I don't think it's normal because it connects to 4g without data on and then when it's on it goes to 3g until it reconnects to 4g..i don't know what to do!

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.
