Safari 2.0 freaks out

I have a two-day old G5 DP 2.3ghz running Safari 2.0. There have been three incidents when my mouse's (Logitech MX900 BT mouse) pointer will begin to flutter (blink rapidly) and then Safari will scroll itself down to the bottom of whatever webpage I'm on as if something is hammering on the page down key. Even if I try to scroll back up or move the sidebar, the page will continue to jump to the bottom in a crazy manner. After about 15 seconds of this, it will stop and go back to normal. Can anyone help me figure out what's causing this? It's only happened in Safari so far, on different websites each time.

Terence, I don't know how you got the MX900 BT to work with Mac OS X, but everything I see on the web says that the system requirement is Windows 2000/XP and an IBM-compatible system without built-in Bluetooth. Maybe that is the problem.

Is your safari freaking out?

I've been using Mountain Lion on my late 2011 mbp 17" 2.5Ghz i7 - now for over a week, safari is starting to FREAK out, pages randomly have clear boxes flickering irratically around menues and link items, flashing and glitching with a move of the cursor. Anyone else noticing these glitchy browsing episodes everywhere online while using Mountain Lion's safari?   Thanks.

Everything is up-to-date thanks and I reset Safari after every other session.
Graphical content freaks out where when you scroll your cursor over a tag or image tag or what ever, it flickers and then sometimes you see a blown up image from an icon, other times, you leave the page idle and when you go to move the cursor, the whole page flickers, glitches and jumps...
My Lion machines don't do this ever. I am now online using ethernet and everything seems much more stable, except for facebook, when i am on that is, the glitchy images as the cursor goes over people's names and their blown up profiles causes static and overlap images which stays there until i scroll the page up and down to errase it!
Stuff like that...

Display "freaking" out, internal issue?

For a long time now, my display will randomly "freak" out. What do I mean by freak out? I mean, it starts getting stretched vertically and horizontally, half of the top (lets say half of safari) will be at the bottom, etc. I have to move the display back and fourth until it stops. To see if this was an OS issue, I screen shared with someone else. I was able to finally recreate the issue, and they saw no problems. I'm guessing that this would be a wire being squashed or something.
I've never dropped or done anything to my computer that would cause this. In fact, this started a month after purchasing it and I've been dealing with it for a year now. Recently, it's been getting worse and won't go away.
Anyone got tips? Should I just go to the store and ask them what to do? If they are going to make me pay to fix it, I'll be pretty frustrated as I've done nothing wrong. Is this a faulty display? Am I liable for a replacement computer?
Thanks.

Do you have the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics chip? If so, you might be having this problem:

If you have access to an Apple Store, there is a specific diagnostic test they can run to find this problem. If this is what it is, the repair will be done at no cost to you.
I agree with eww that you should have reported this problem to Apple before the 1 year warranty was up. No matter what it was, they would have fixed it under warranty. Now unless it turns out to be the NVIDIA problem, you are on your own.
Good luck!

Hi Guys,
I am using the full width video widget on a site. The widget was working perfectly however I have just added additional content to the site and re-uploaded and now the video is not working! Please help I have tried everything and am freaking out as this web-site has been payed for by my client.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

My Ipod touch is freaking out!

This just started happening about a week ago...it seems to be ok when you first turn it on, but after a few moments..it freaks out. For instance, my keyboards--with whatever app, beit email or notes or a game..I try to type a letter--it types everything BUT that letter. And none of the erase buttons work to go back. On the Music--I keep trying to go to Playlists and it keeps flipping to Artists and pursues its own songs! Sometimes I don't even have to touch the Ipod--I just get my finger near it and it picks up the button it thinks I'm trying to touch and goes to whereever! It's like its possessed! It will cut in the middle or beginning of a song and go to whatever other song. It's not on shuffle or genious or whatever...I did a full reset by holding down the two buttons, but that only temporary fixes it. I can't type anything on it because it presses its own letters uncontrollably. Please help..this is a brand new Ipod I just got for Christmas. I didn't get it wet, I've been very careful with it. I do not want a refurb! I have lots of stuff on this 32G! :((

Basics from the manual are restart,reset, restore:

Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out!

Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out! Is there any way that someone could be turning "find my iPhone" on remotely? I was under the assumption that the only way to turn the service on was from my phone itself.. Is there any way that my phone is somehow resetting itself to a time when the app was turned on? I'm just grabbing straws here... I have no idea. I just know that the location arrow came on at the top of my phone, and it showed that someone was tracking my phone at that very moment... Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Find my phone can only be enabled from the device itself.

[N97 mini] phone freaks out when I want to pick up...

Is there some sort of workaround, tweak or app available that can prevent my phone from freaking out when I want to receive a phone call? It is simply impossible to see who is calling because the display will not display anything for a few seconds when it's rotated. It is also not possible to use the slider keys to pick up or decline the call. Is there some way to prevent the display from rotating without disabling auto rotating all together?

1. iTunes Menu > Store > Authorize This Computer
2. iTunes Menu > Store > Sign in
3. iTunes prefs > Devices > Prevent .... from syncing automatically
4. With iTunes open, connect phone
5. iTunes Menu > File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
6. iTunes Menu > File > Devices > Backup
Now safe to sync. You will lose any music/media on the phone that was NOT purchased from the iTunes Store (i.e. ripped CD's, MP3's from other sources)

My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How to bring it back to life?

My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How can I restore it back to life?

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. then hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to start up.
You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep button and home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears (takes about 10 seconds) - ignore the red slider.

I can't close safari (option is greyed out) and I can't shut down the computer because of it. How do I fix this?

Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

My iphone 4s screen turned freaked out before my eyes, changing all different colours, now it is blue and black along the right side with horizontal lines, and is flickering. I DIDN'T DROP IT.

I was just sitting on the couch scrolling through facebook, I closed out of that and went to open safari, when it spazzed out, for a few mintutes it looked like LSD vision, it was all different colours and flickering the whole time. I turned it off and on again, and plugged it into my computer and now the right side is nearly completely blue, and bleeds to the left side with horizontal lines, and it is still flickering. I just finished paying the **** thing off. I thought I'd get another year out of it. I have taken exemplary care of it and it hasn't left the case since the day I bought it. I haven't dropped it, there was no warning for the screen to start doing this. So my question is, is there an easy fix (I am about to restore and update it, and I already played around with the screen brightness), and if not, am I going to have to pay for the screen to be replaced, because I don't have that kind money.

Probably sounded funnier in your head.

I made my Apple ID questions when I was in 5th grade, and I can not remember them, my emergency email was deleted, and my birth date wont work, I am freaking out! How do I get my ID questions?

I wrote my apple ID questions in 5th grade, and am in 9th now, so I can notremember them. my emergency email with the info was deleted, so I can not change them, and for some reason, my birht date will not go through, so I must have put the wrong thing in 5th grade, and I am freaking out! What do I do?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Display on iMac freaking out

My wifes iMac (Intel 2.66 GHz/1 G Ram/ 20" display)has recently began to freak out with numerous blank blocks on the screen (up to 12) opening up when switching applications. It doesn't happen when working in an app, only switching between apps. The blocks can not be closed on the screen, they are frozen. You must shut the computer down and reboot to continue working. Sort of like Expose going nuts. Has anyone run into this situation? Any advise?

Unless this happens only when playing a video, you'll probably want to ask this question in either the iMac or Mac OS X forums since it's probably not a QuickTime problem per se.
Regards.

Did you try resetting PRAM as a first step? Some display settings are stored in PRAM.

MBP display freaking out :( pic inside

I've had zero problems with my macbook (other than being refurbished and kinda lopsided) but this morning it started freaking out. I've never dropped it, never run the battery out. its about 3 weeks old.
http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/2561/88263723tx5.jpg
is this telltale for the "new" dispplay glitches tied to the last update?

I am having a similar problem. Intermittent (seemingly random) display freezes where the screen "fragments" . See the photos:
http://picasaweb.google.com/2DAnimationAcademy/SickMacbookDisplay
The screen is fragmented into hundreds of little squares . Sometimes it is much worse than
this and no discernible image on the screen is visible, just row upon row of these little square fragments.
Hardware test shows No Trouble Found.
Fsck from command line says Volume Appears Ok.
Repaired Permissions and defragged hard drive with Disk Warrior.
It happened the first time last week. I shut down , left it off for an hour to cool down (my first thought being it was an over-heating problem) . It started up again with no problem . Ran fine for another week , then the problem returned . This time multiple reboots did not fix the problem . Took it to the Apple Store genius bar. Display was totally fragmented (worse than in the attached photo) . Hard Drive seemed to be ok , so they advised backing up everything and sending it in to be repaired (I have Apple Care) . Last night I used Carbon Copy Cloner to get all my files over to an external firewire drive. Apple Care is sending me the DSL box to mail it in tomorrow.
Here's the thing : I booted it up this morning just to check it one last time and everything looked normal; it's been on all day today and no sign of the problem . Frustration ! I'm afraid I'll send it in to Apple only to have them tell me there's no problem that they can see or detect (if they run Hardware Test it will show No Trouble Found as when I ran it . Just ran it again now and the same results : No Trouble Found) Then they'll send it back , I'll have lost a week or two use of my MacBook and no answers for why this is happening ... until next time the darned display freezes and fragments (?) . I'm hesitant to send it in . Maybe I should just archive and reinstall the OS . I'm still on OS 10.4 because some of my applications haven't "caught up" to OS 10.5 yet .
Has anyone else ever seen this sort of screen fragmentation ?
Could it be caused by a software conflict ? It seems like it must be a hardware issue, except Disk Warrior says the disk checks out ok and Apple Hardware Test says "No Trouble Found" .
