Screen flashes and no boot when DVD is inserted!

I have a new (2 months old) iMac. My wife put in a SIMS3 DVD and weird things started happening after that - the screen would flash, and then eventually go black. I took it to the Apple Store; they found a bad hard drive and replaced it, unfortunately ignoring completely the things I told them about the display going wonky. They gave it back to me and when I brought it home it seemed fine. I then put in a 10.6.3 Install DVD (for the purpose of restoring my whole system off a Time Machine backup) and again - it won't boot (whether or not I'm holding C to boot off of it) and the screen is going wild - flashing on and off. I managed to pop the DVD out (holding down Eject key during boot) and then it booted fine. So: what does it mean that the thing won't boot when a DVD is in the drive? Are there heating problems of some sort perhaps? Why would both the hard drive and the video/DVD drive be bad? Am I missing something? Ideas welcome! thanks in advance,
Mike

Duh!!!!
Thanks Dave. I was converting some of my DVDs to .m4v files for iTunes/AppleTV and set it to Ignore. Changed it back to Open DVD Player and all is as it should be.
Thanks again,
Kirk

My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

Reinstall OS X;
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Screen flash & restart from boot off another disk

I tried to boot off another disk by pressing option/alt at startup but when I select the disk I want, my screen flashes and my mac restarts. I tried using both rEFIt and rEFInd, but none of them appear on startup. Does any of this have anything to do with the fact that I changed some startup flags so that it always boots into verbose mode? (the flag is -v)

Using Snow Leopard forum is probably your best bet.
I don't care if someone has 20+ yrs, I still like having a good troubleshooting book/manual handy.
Mac: can't get by without bootable backups, even if you use TimeMachine, clone your system. Save you all this fuss and work.
Then invest in high quality disk repair and maintenance program.
Disk Warrior / TechTool Pro 5 / Drive Genius 3 - top 3 probably
There are always going to be normal items you just ignore with Repair Permissions. Useful to do once in a while but not magic. Same with SMC and the rest. Running disk repair is one of those things that it seems should be done before there is trouble, not after, and a weakness in HFS file system and disk directory.
Apple Support is a good place to start looking and then hardware category.
http://www.apple.com/support
http://www.apple.com/support/imac /macbookpro etc
Make sure all your software is current, don't install anything you are unsure of or can do without.
Run Apple Hardware Test off your OEM DVD specific to the Mac.
Now, have you Googled for this?
have you looked at reports about 500GB drives used in some Macs that had issues and were offered firmware update for the drive?
Considered just using another drive connected to iMac?
You can overheat a hard drive with needlessly running 7 and 35-write pass, besides which the best way to map out bad blocks is not Disk Utility.

I'd direct your replies to iMac and MacBook Pro as well as to Using OS X Snow Leopard areas.

Ipod screen flashes and chirps ???

I have a 20GB click wheel Ipod. Last night it just started to make a high pitch sound and then changed to a screen flashing and chirping sound simultaneously? The flashing and chirping continued and I could not do anything. It was basically frozen, then I connected it to the fire wire port and the apple logo appeared and it seemed to fix itself. The battery was dead, I don't know if that was a symptom. I restored the Ipod and I'm waiting to see if it happens again when the battery is dead. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions, Derek Skaalen!
I'd get a replacement ASAP. That doesn't sound good.

Screen flashes and then goes black after CPU load

Yesterday morning I upgraded my MacBook Pro 6,2 (Mid 2010) to OS X Lion. Since then I've been having issues while performing CPU-not-too-intensive tasks. Every once in a while my screen flashes for a split second and then turns completely black. The MBP is unresponsive so I'm forced to shut it down using the power button.
At first i though this was a Lion issue. However, it has happened again just now while I was on Windows through BootCamp. I was checking my e-mail and performing some other mundane tasks for about an hour, and then while trying to copy some files to an external Hard Drive my screen flashed and went black.
Hardware issue then??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's already happened 4-5 times right when I pressed Cmd+D to bookmark a site on Safari. What the heck? That isn't even a CPU load.
Here's the error report:

When I open Reader why does screen flash and parts of document are not readable?

When I open a PDF my screen flashes, changes color and then when the document comes up parts of it are blacked out. When I close the document the screen flashes again. I have just downloaded the latest version of Reader.

The slowness may be caused by background processing after the library update. Are you shooting RAW?
Also, where is your iPhoto library stored? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive?
How much free storage do you have on your system drive
3. Finally when my old folders, books and contents of my old photo gallery appears in the left side of the application I have access to no photo and the program remains as it were unresponsive.
You may need to repair your iPhoto Library.
Run the iPhoto library first aid tools and use the options "Repair permissions" and "Repair database".
To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
Then select "Repair Database". Repeat with "Repair Permissions". If this does not help, back up your iPhoto Library and use the option "rebuild".

I have a 16GB iPhone 3G and my screen will not work. When I have my sim card inserted into the phone calls go through, but I take it out and they don't go through. It was fine one minute and then the screen flashed and now it will not work. any answers?

I own a 16GB iPhone 3G. My father passed it down to me a year ago after he got the iPhone 4. I pressed the sleep/wake button on the top of the iPhone to check the time, and as I did so, the screen flashed on and off and now the screen won't work. Whenever I put my simcard in there calls will go through but I am unable to hear them, but if I take it out calls don't go through. I've tried charging it for a while, connecting to my laptop, holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10seconds to restore it, but nothing works. I've looked around and no-one'ed seemed to have this problem. I'd like to know what is wrong with my iPhone ASAP. thanks.

First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

C#: when adding listview items the screen flashes and only single listview column loads?

When adding listview items, the listview1 items flash and only the first listview column loads (there are 5 columns in all)?
Background...
I was having cross-threading issues on 3 form components which I was able to resolve (see
code here). Now I think the soluiton which involves creating a delegate and performing an "InvokeRequired" check (see
what I used), I'm having an issue passing 5 values for each column. Below is the code involved calling this invoking check for each and their methods.
Before having the cross-thread issue the "listview1.Items.Add(values.text) add the comma separated string values to the appropriate columns, but that doesn't happen through the cross-thread fix required.
The "Loading()" method is handled through and async/await method causing the initial cross-thread issue.
private void Loading()
int t = 1;
foreach (string line in scripts)
string[] listValues = line.Split(',');
ListViewItem values = new ListViewItem(listValues);
if (t == 1)
AddColumn("Script Name", 200); // Creates column headings
AddColumn("Date and Time", 150);
AddColumn("SID", 75);
AddColumn("Environment", 75);
AddColumn("Client", 75);
t++;
else
if ((values.Text != "") && (values.Text != "Script Name"))
//listView1.Items.Add(values);
AddItem(values.Text);
if (!dictScript.Contains(values.Text))
dictScript.Add(values.Text);
//cbxScriptList.Items.Add(values.Text);
AddScript(values.Text);
private void AddItem(object o)
if (this.listView1.InvokeRequired)
AddItemCallback d = new AddItemCallback(AddItem);
this.Invoke(d, new object[] { o });
else
{ // code that adds item to listView (in this case $o)
listView1.Items.Add(o.ToString());
private void AddScript(object o)
if (this.listView1.InvokeRequired)
AddCBXCallback d = new AddCBXCallback(AddScript);
this.Invoke(d, new object[] { o });
else
{ // code that adds item to listView (in this case $o)
cbxScriptList.Items.Add(o.ToString());
private void AddColumn(object o1, object o2)
if (this.listView1.InvokeRequired)
AddColCallback d = new AddColCallback(AddColumn);
this.Invoke(d, new object[] { o1, o2 });
else
{ // code that adds item to listView (in this case $o)
listView1.Columns.Add(o1.ToString(), (int)o2); // Creates column headings
SV

Ok, I still have the flickering issue, I could use some guidance on that. And I should note that before I had the code-threading issue, I never had any flickering, it all appeared simultaneously.
However, I was able to populate all columns (5 in all). I had two corrections to make.
1) My method should not have been passing the parameter as text but as the object ListViewItem:
// Not This...
AddItem(values.text)
// This is Correct...
AddItem(values)
2) Then I needed to cast my object as a ListViewItem in my method call:
private void AddItem(object o)
if (this.listView.InvokeRequired)
AddItemCallback d = new AddItemCallback(AddItem);
this.Invoke(d, new object[] { (ListViewItem)o });
else { // code that adds item to listView (in this case $o)
listView1.Items.Add((ListViewItem)o);
SV

When I go into iTunes store, the screen flashes and I cannot click on anything. Anyone know what may be going on?

Having trouble selecting music for purchase on iTunes Store because the screen flashes the visual images, then goes blank (white). Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Could also be that as you are an American .. you have an american creditcard, social security and all that...
now you try to log/connect in Germany .. this could be a security conflict as they will see where your IP is coming from ...
All in all, they want to prevent any kind of cardstealing and stuff ... just contact them, explain, and they will prob help you out!! ( cuz they sure doesn't wanna loose those nickels and dimes ppl put into their pockets )!!!!

MacBook Screen Flashes and Refreshes every 2 seconds after autoupdate

My daughter installed updates last nite (she thinks itunes, safari, quicktime?) and now her computer will turn on but the display keeps refreshing and will not completely display all her usual icons. I tried resetting the PRAM (Control Command P R) and safe boot (shift) and no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks

When I tried to run the repair disk permissions I get am error message stating "no valid packages."
Any suggestions ?
This usually means someone has tinkered with the contents of /Library/Receipts & removed the ".pkg" or ".bom" items in it that tell the permissions repair procedure what the correct permissions should be. (See About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature for the full story.)
As a rule, users should not tinker with anything in /Library or System/Library unless they know exactly what they are doing (or at least have a good backup to recover from the problems this can cause). Because the missing files may mean someone has done more tampering than just removing them, I suggest for your situation that you do consider an Archive & Install, followed by running Software Update to get all current updates into the system.
BTW, the earlier advice from nerowolfe was not about doing an install from the DVD. As he explained, after you boot from the DVD & choose your language, immediately go to the Utilities menu at the top of the screen & choose "Disk Utility" from its menu choices. The installer application will be replaced with Disk Utility, which allows you to run its checks & repairs prior to or instead of installing the OS.
I am suggesting here that you do go ahead with the install because of the potential problems with the existing one, but for other times you should know about the utilities you can run from the DVD without doing an install.
