Safari: picture issues(pixelated)/ Flash movies Flickers

In Safari and sometimes in iTunes(rarely) pictures are presented/ rendered in low quality. You easily see grainy/ pixel noise following lines in the picture. It is not a problem in iPhoto were pictures are in excellent condition.
Also when watching flash based movies, there is flickering constantly when there is much movement in the playing movie. This happens in Youtube or any other flash based media.
Has anyone experienced this problem and what can I do to fix this?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Go here to update your Adobe Flash Plugin.
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-19.html
And do Safari maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.

  • Safari not playing  local flash movie

    Hello All,
    Below is a piece of html code I am using to view an embeded flash movie. As you can see the file is located on my hard drive - this (the .swf file on the hard drive) is being used to simulate content that will eventually be placed on a CD. Also the code is an html page that is part of a Java program that uses "continue"servlets to advance to other pages.
    I know the Flash plugin (8) works because I can view flash files from other sites and I can also view my file by navigating to it through Safari using file open.
    The Problem is when I try get the flash movie to play by advancing from one web page to the one below that has the file embeded - Nothing happens.
    Any Help is very appreciated. Thank you

    Glad that resolved your problem.
    Strange things tend to happen in Cyber world. I've seen, albeit infrequently, where my Safari Preferences were reset to default values while surfing. Haven't figured out why that happens, but I have my suspicions. Yet, because it's a rare event, it's not in the top 5 of things to do.
    Thanks for the Aloha from Big Island.

    First try this:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved. If not, run through the following and check that your system and settings are up to date:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-003. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
    http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

  • Is it possible to play a Flash movie in a 63" HDTV monitor

    Dear all,
    Hope my questions are make sense!
    Firstly, is it possible to sync the Flash movie on a 63" HDTV
    monitor from a PC notebook, but also keeping the quality of the
    graphic (I am afraid the graphic will look blury when display on a
    large monitor). Secondly, what size should I make for the Flash
    file? Lastly, because I am going to load a video externally, what
    is the best way to do it?
    Thank you for you help!

    The bigger (more pixels) flash movie goty, the higher quality
    you will get on HDTV.
    create a high resolusion flash movie, try to make it exactly
    what your HDTV support.

  • Flash movie in Safari in Macbook Pro Retina Display zooming issue

    Hello,
    On Macbook Pro Retina Display in Safari browser, zooming any flash application in browser does not work properly.
    I have made a YouTube video showing the problem in action:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi1d1x8bpnA
    When I zoom in and out using two fingers pinch zooming does not go as expected - it is zooming into bits outside of the zoom area while the zooming is in the process.
    Please fix the issue.
    Thanks.
    Andrey
    P.S:
    I have also created an Adobe BugBase bug report here:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3323043

    Hi Steffen....!!
    The phenomenon which you just described is absolutely not common in the late 2013 retina macbook. Even I have the same model but I have never noticed such sounds neither during normal operations nor after tilting it.
    I am afraid, but it seems to be a hardware issue. Might be because the fan assembly has become loose due to which its touching the other parts.
    There is also a possibility  that some dirt or small piece of something might have gone inside the macbook through the air vents which may be interfering with the fan mechanism. I think so you can try to open the back cover of the macbook and see if something is interfering with the fans if your macbook is out of warranty. If its covered with Apple care, I suggest take it to Apple store and let them diagnose the issue.
    Hope this helps......

  • Slow Flash movies in Safari and Firefox

    This issue started right after the software update of Safari 3.2.1 (from 3.2). I'm totally lost, because it does not make any sense to me. The performance on Flash websites with either Safari or Firefox, is extremely slow and stuttering. Fade-ins and outs are no longer smooth, I can even HEAR their "calculating".
    What confuses me most is the fact that watching my self-created Flash movies as swf files is perfectly fast and smooth. As soon as they are being viewed in a browser, local on the computer or on a web server, they are slow.
    Here's what I already did, and it got somewhat better, but not back to how it was before the software update:
    - reset safari, empty cache.
    - uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Adobe Flash Player plug in.
    - repair disk permissions
    - add DNS codes
    - I even upgraded the RAM's to the PB's max of 2GB
    Anybody got any ideas? I was thinking it might be the video card. But why would the Flash movie show smooth as an swf file but not in a browser?? And why was everything OK before the update?
    I read that the video card is part of the logic board. Is it possible to exchange that at all?? This is what's installed: ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, VRAM 64 MB.
    Thanks in advance for any inputs!!

    I figured out the problem/cure. I had help, though not from this website... However, I thought I'm going to post the solution here, in case someone else is experiencing the same problem! It turned out that it was not the update to the latest Safari (3.2.1), but the latest Adobe Flash player version (10) that caused the bug. Apparently older Mac's (I'm using the 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 aluminum) cannot handle the latest technology of Flash player 10.
    I uninstalled the plugins, using Adobe's Flash player uninstaller, downloaded the Flash player 9 folder here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2 and installed version 9.0.151.0. Repair disk permissions. That's it. Everything is back to normal!!
    If this was helpful to anybody, I'll be happy to hear from you!

  • Flash movie is repeating in safari browser

  • Flash movie display issues in IE

    Hi Everyone!
    This message is a cross-post and I apologize, but there seems
    to be more traffic in this forum and I really could use some input
    on my question. Here goes:
    I'm new to this forum, but have a little experience with
    Flash. I'm building a site, mixing flash with css and html on a
    webpage (obviously). When I test the pages in Internet Explorer,
    the display jumps around quite a bit when I navigate between web
    pages (looks fine when clicking through frames in the movies). This
    is the first time I've ever seen this (in the few times I've built
    flash-heavy sites) and this display issue doesn't happen in
    Firefox, Opera or even old Netscape. Unfortunately - most of the
    world is using IE, so I need a little help.
    I thought perhaps the Flash Satay solution might be the
    answer, but I'm not a handy programmer so before I go mucking
    around with it, I thought I'd get some thoughts from other flash
    users...
    Here's the link: mustardseedwoodworking.com/testing The pages
    in question (and the only ones that are working, really) are the
    home page, the about page, and then galleries one and two.
    (Oh finally, I'm viewing these pages both locally, on my
    computer and online after being uploaded. I have cable internet
    access. I realize Gallery 2 loads a bit more slowly than Gallery 1,
    but the primary reason I'm using flash to display the tables is
    because I want large, high rez photos. )
    Thanks in advance!
    Michelle

    Can any help?
    Thanks

    I hunted down a similar bug and found a weired reason for it:
    I am using a #page DIV for my content, which is centered by horizontal margins set to "auto".
      width: 900px;
      margin: 0 auto;
    This DIV also has a background image that creates shadow effects around the page.
    Now this background image tends to shift against the content of the #page DIV by 1 pixel.
    Whether the shifting occurs or not depends on the width of the browser window (even or uneven pixel count). It is clearly some kind of rounding bug.
    As I have a Flash header positioned in my page, that header exhibits the exact same symptoms as described in this posting - a white line at its right side. It took me quite some time to discover that this happens only at uneven browser window widths.
    This effect is not limited to Flash movies. It also happens with inner DIVs that have a different background color.
    One more nice IE surprise (tested and found on IE6,7,8,9).

  • Unloading a flash movie using Safari browser

    I have MAC 10.4 and safari 2.0 browser.I run a flash movie(Instruction.swf) and after that the actual test for the student run.So while running The first movie i.e Instruction.swf I am not able to unload that movie using javascript in Safari 2.0 browser so that the actual test can run.It just hang up after finishing the movie.While in the other Mac and windows it is working fine.
    Please Help me.
    Thanks In Advance.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you mean to say, in other Mac and Windows web browsers it is working fine? If that's the case, it sounds like the version of Flash plugin used by the Safari plugin is probably older than the one used by the other web browsers.
    With Safari Enhancer's enabling of the Debug menu you can force certain webpages to open in other web browsers. That would help streamline your viewing of those pages.
    http://www.lordofthecows.com/safari_enhancer.php
    You can also enable the Debug menu with:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
    from the Terminal.

  • Issue with border around submenu when a flash movie is under it

    I have a spry menu with a submenu which has a 1px solid border around it.  On the pages linked to by the submenu items, I have flash movies.  For pages where the flash movie is down far enough so that it is not overlapped by the submenu, everything looks great.  However, on those pages where the submenu overlaps the flash movie, the border around the submenu is not visible on one side and is offset about a pixel on the other side.  This is only happening in Firefox 3.6.18  Every other browser I've tried works.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi Gramps,

    Thanks for taking a look at this,

  • 11.3 Flash Download issue : Pixel break-up

    Recently download Flash 11.3 - ever since have been experiencing picture break-up in flash applications and videos. Have removed g Chrome, checked to make sure pop-up blockers  are not on. Uninstalled and re installed flash 11.3 with no change in result. Also removed Adobe 9.4 and replaced with  Adobe Reader x  and still have the same issue of Flash picture breaking up.
    Can  anyone assist or recommend next steps to fix.
    Thank you

  • Flash movies title picture loading very slow

    Hi!
    I convert mpgs to flash movies in Flash 8 and
    put them on a webpage in Dreamweaver using a
    Halo skin.
    There are several movies on a page and when a user
    opens the page it takes a long time for the first pictures
    of the movies with the Halo skin to load.
    Any ideas about what is going on? This happens even on
    my own computer with cable connection.
    Thanks, Amdy
