Return of the Mosaic of death? Safari/Flash problem? Help please
I'm having issues with my fairly new Macbook Pro 15-inch. The problem has only come up with Safari (5.0.1) running so far; never a problem with Firefox (though it could just be that I use Safari more by far).
Here's what it did to an NFL.com gamecast page.

It kind of reminds me of the Mosaic of Death on my old iBook.
And sometimes the issue remains as a "ghost"once I close Safari.

Refreshing the page does no good. Closing it leaves the "ghost." I've also notice I get the "you have to restart your Mac" message about once a week.
A weird thing: The mosaic flickers a lot. I tried recording it with a Quick TIme screen recording. But every time I start recording the problem stops! And it returns once I stop recording.
Thoughts? Questions? I'm curious what the problem could be.
FWIW, I first noticed a weird flicker like this when I would switch from a VPN/screen sharing to Safari.
Thanks for your time.
Just to follow up, in case others have this issue:
Genius Bar guy suggested I try turning off "Automatic Graphics Switching" (System Prefs>Energy Saver). Hadn't thought of that; Googled it when I got home and, sure enough, there's another thread indicating tis might be the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2566276&messageID=12350542#123 50542
We'll see how it goes, but I'm thinknig this is on track.

Try a 2 finger swipe left or right to change screens. If that doesn't work go to System Preferences/Trackpad/More Gestures and set it up.

Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please
its very important files!tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive* -
My ipod touch is stuck on a white screen and i did everything hold the home botton and sleep botton togher, but it wont respnd it is just stuck on the white flash scree HELP PLEASE!
- Let the battery fully drain. The charge for an hour and see what happens, Try resetting too:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connct to computer and restore if it shows in iTunes.
- You can try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then trying to restore. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Also see:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Frequenly the white scree is due to a hardware problem. -
Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer... -
Itunes doesn't list all of my recent podcasts. My show is Black Tribbles and it only shows episodes through March 2013, however we do at least two shows a week and they aren't listed. The feed works because the show update to my computer. Help please.
Your feed is at http://blacktribbles.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
When subscribed to in iTunes the recent episodes show, but the Store hasn't updated for some time.
There appears to be an issue with the feed. In the episode 'WRESTLING MARCH MADNESS: Final Bracket & Championship' of 31st March you will find in the 'description' tag the following line:
4. KURT ANGLE
At the end of this line is an invisible character which seems to be wrecking the feed - although it works OK when suscribing in iTunes it won't load in a browser (and I also found the feed very slow to load, which won't help matters with the Store)
This sort of thing usually happens when you paste text in from a word processing application and manage to include one of the invisible control characters. I don't know how easy it will be do do it in Podomatic but you should delete that entire line and retype it to remove this charter.
You should keep an eye on the time it takes the feed to be accessed - if there is a long enough delay (and it was quite some seconds when I tried) the Store may well timeout and fail to read it. At the moment it's showing a cached version from the last time it was able to read it. -
I had all photos on a Windows desktop. Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive. When I go to import them into LR on the mac, they are all locked. Help, please!
"I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop. It looks like it went from read only to not locked. Is this possible?"
Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup. -
my mini is connected to the wifi network, but is not able to connect to the working internet... can anybody help, please?
192 is local address within your network.
Unless the adddress is of a server that can reolve URL names to ip addresses you wont be able to load an external web page.
You can check what it should be by checking your router status page.
Or if you have an iOS device check under settings, W-Fi, select the network your attched to, then see what is next to DNS.

I am trying to download FREE apps for my Ipad Mini however iOS is constantly asking me to verify my Bank Card details and not proceeding to download the app despite being free. Any help please ?
It just could be this;

If you can you can choose the None option and only put the card info in when you want to buy something. It also makes your account less suceptable to hackers as there is nothing that they can use to buy anything. -
I am receiving email that I should verify my password for iCloud but I can't see the link that I should start. HELP please!!!!!!
You select the desired file (tick the square box on the left of the file name).
You click on the "share"/"send" icon (the envelope with the arrow that points up and to the right).
You are presented with the share/send dialog.
Here you select the "Send To" choice.
This is done by placing a tick in the box beside either "Public Link (create a public link for anyone to view)"
OR
"Personalizdd Link (send email invitations to individuals)"
NOTE: The second choice is only available if you have a subscription to Adobe Send service.
So, for a free "Files" account in Adobe's cloud you'd tick "Public Link".
At the bottom left you'll observe the "Create Link" button.
Click it.
You are presented with a new dialog that informs you that the Public Link has been generated and that link is provided in a field within the dialog.
You can copy the link to a text file for future copy-paste into a post to a forum or bulletin board or you can provide the link to otheres via an email.
Be well... -
