Safari flashes white boxes when loading pictures or video, distorts text

Hi,
I have Safari 3.1.2 and a lot of times when I look at a photo on a flickr page, when the photo loads it flashes these annoying white boxes everywhere. And when I watch a youtube video it will flash white sections on them. Also, when I'm scrolling through an article, the lines will double up and distort. If I restart my computer it will adjust to normal, but the after a while it will start up again. I've singled the problem down to Safari because Firefox does not have this problem. I guess I could just use Firefox and say sayonara to Safari? Any advice?

I have exactly the same problem with browsers, iPhoto, and also text breaking up when scrolling up and down (in Mail, for instance). I also have a Macbook Pro (15", 2,4ghz, GeForce 8600M graphics).
I have heard about people taking the unit back to Apple and having the graphics card replaced, and some people talk about it being a video driver issue, but this has been going on for me since at least 10.5.2 (that's when I first noticed it as a problem) and if it's a software problem it's taking a long time to fix it!

  • Why is safari 5 so slow when loading media rich content?

    I have G5 1.8 GHZ just before they upgraded to the 1.9.  I recently upgraded the RAM to 2 GB in order to download snow leopard so that I could use my ipad 2 and ipod.  After installing and updating, to
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 10.8.0
    I've also updated to the most recent version of Safari 5 and Adobe Flash 11.  I use a cable modem/wireless router Motorola SB901 model.
    Safari pens a page say cnn, loading half the content usually text and borders/headers very quickly, but severly lags when loading pictures, and videos. Once the player starts the video actually buffers pretty quickly.
    This has become a major problem and setback as now we can use our new devices but our home internet experience is horrible.
    Other devices such as the ipad or even my xbox work just fine streaming content quickly or gaming.
    I've done the cache empty, history, clean and the like. Changed the DNS server as recommended.  Unclicked the enable plug in button.  All to no avail.
    I am on a home secured network so bandwith is not an issue.
    Please help!

  • Flash movie just has a white box when I preview

    Working in Flash CS4
    My question is when I publish my flash movie it opens fine on my computer but when I copy the folder with all the contents to another computer the skin show up fine but I get a white box where the movie should be. The same goes if we try to place it on a website.
    When I'm in flash should I be going to
    File Publish or
    File Export SWF
    To be placed in a website.

    NAte here is the link to the page that has the flash movie that is coming up as a white box

  • Pngs flicker and appear as white boxes when scrolling down page in Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m

    Hello,
    I have noticed that pngs flicker and appear as white boxes when scrolling down the page in Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m in windows only. Chrome on the mac is fine and this issue doesn't occur on the windows version of chrome canary. It would appear that the pngs are reloading when I scroll.
    There is alot going on in this animation, I am going to sprite most of these pngs to reduce sever requests which may help, but im certain this isnt the root cause of this issue.
    Has anyone come across this issue before?
    Please link to the animation in question here.
    Any advice much appreciated. http://new.oliverrice.co.uk/oliverrice.co.uk.html

    So I have created a sprite for the majority of the png's that form my symbols. This has reduced the total number of sever image requests from over 70 to 5. this has worked really well and feel adobe could add a feature that creates one sprite from all the images within the library. The animation seems to run a lot faster than before and loads much quicker.
    I am however still experiencing the problem mentioned above in chrome 37.0.2062.120 m.
    The animation also runs slowly on the I pad and I phone which I guess is down to memory usage? The animation wasnt intended for the iphone, but it would be nice to see it run on the ipad.

  • Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?

    Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?

    One more thing to try.  Double click on the home button.  Scroll in that bottom line of icons (swipe finger to left) to the app that are all white.  Hold your finger on the app until the - sign appears.  Tap it to close the app.  Hopefully it will then show up correctly.  (As they say about chicken soup curing a cold, "can't hurt")

  • Freezing/hanging when taking pictures and videos  in i phone 4

    freezing/hanging when taking pictures and videos  in i phone 4 with flash on.

    Hi Mister.
    Let's try to answer your questions.
    - The E5 does not have a red light when you take pictures.
    - I don't know about battery life comparing with E6 and E72, just can say on the E5 is quite good. It has a 1200 mAh battery, you should check the others, but also the features of each one, i.e. the E6 is a touchscreen one, so it consumes more power.
    - It has a notification white light, around the navigation button.
    Regards.

  • BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video - Firmware 1.2

    I've been looking all over on where to post a bug, and for a fix for this bug I found. Not many seem to be having this problem (I assume not many are trying to randomly play a video from a video playlist)
    BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video
    iPod FIRMWARE: 1.2
    PROBLEM (1): When pressing "Play" on a video playlist or on 'Music Videos' while the iPod is set to Random->Song, the iPod displays a white playback screen, displays song 0 of 0, empty duration bar and a duration time of 0:00/-0:00.
    PROBLEM (2): After successful playing a seleted video within a video playlist or music video list, the iPod attempts to play a randomly choosen video (HDD clicks abnormally) but times-out and returns the user to the Playlist selection screen.
    iPod MODEL: 60GB Video - Black [Bought in NOV 05]
    If anyone knows how to report a bug, or anyone else having this problem (Try it on you iPod, post your results!) let me know!

    I've been looking all over on where to post a bug...If anyone knows how to report a bug let me know!

  • Flash movie just has a white box when previewed

    Working in Flash CS4
    My question is when I publish my flash movie it opens fine on my computer but when I copy the folder with all the contents to another computer the skin show up fine but I get a white box where the movie should be. The same goes if we try to place it on a website. Files are available here to view

    Password: forum4HELP (case sensitive)

    Hi,
    I have taken a look at your .fla and seems your source file name is not matching with what is available(Bob_Dickson.f4v) & what is specified(Bob Dickson InterviewH264.f4v) in the Component Inspector panel. Either rename your movie from "Bob_Dickson.f4v" to "Bob Dickson InterviewH264.f4v" probably the easiest way or change the Source name for your flv playback component in Component Inspector panel to "Bob_Dickson.f4v" and re-publish the swf.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks!
    ps: pls mark this post as Answered if it was helpful to you

  • Basic Question, White box while loading

    I am sort of a newb at flash. I have an animation for a site I am working on, When it first loads the viewer sees a white box before the animation. What do I do to eliminate that problem?
    For reference this is the page I am working on.
    http://www.2ndlookgraphics.com/CMS/index.html

    I think that is the answer. I tried it in a browser I had not been using so I believe the cache was clear and I did not get that white box. If you would I would appreciate it if you could try it to to make sure it is fixed.
    I sure do appreciate your help!!!

  • Eliminating 'the big white box ' on load

    In the second or two before my flash page appears with normal
    preloader etc, the size of the flash element is always shown a s a
    big white box over the surrounding black page...my background color
    is set to black on both the flash and html page containing it and I
    try to leave first frame clear of elements that would slow
    load...is there an easy fix for this unsightly hiccup to my
    intro?

    Try to set the flash window at "transparent, windowless" at
    the HTML tab in export options.

  • Flash player freeznig when loading in small XML files

    Hi all,
    I could really use some help in finding a reasonable solution
    to this problem. I'm getting a problem where the flash player
    freezes giving the "A script is causing the flash player to run
    slowly" dialog box, when it's trying to load in XML files for
    content. Therre are 15 files and they are all between 1-3kb. I
    wrote a loop so that the next file doesn't begin loadnig until the
    previous file has finished. But on some machines I still randomly
    get this problem.
    I've tried using the download simulator in flash and it seems
    that this error always occurs on lower connection speeds, but we
    are on a fast connection here and I still randomly get it freezing
    I traced which files it freezes on and it's different ones every
    time.
    Any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Rex,
    That plugin version installed is actually the HW accelerated beta version Gala: 10.1.81.25 (The current version is 10.1.81.75).  I would recommend installing the official release, since the Gala version does have some compatibility issues.  You can download the latest version here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • Embedded SWF flashes white before it loads.

    I have an SWF embedded in a table. When it loads in the
    browser the SWF briefly flashes white before the preloader begins
    to load. I have set the color properties in both the SWF file and
    in the table cell. Is there a way to change the color from white to
    another color?

    Thanks for your help, but I already figured it out. Here is
    the code:
    <object
    classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0"
    width="79" height="427">
    <param name="movie" value="assets/swf/thmbs.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <embed src="assets/swf/thmbs.swf" width="79" height="427"
    quality="high" pluginspage="
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    bgcolor="#4B4B4D"></embed>
    </object>
    I had to add a "bgcolor" to the "embed" tag. Note, for some
    reason this will overwrite the background color that is set in the
    SWF in Firefox.
    Thanks again!
    Thanks again!
