Screen flashes between battery level and screen saver

Hi
When I charge my iPhone up in my new iH8 alarm clock I get the "switch to airplane mode" message - fair enough. But once its been charging a few minutes the screen comes on by itself and then flashes between the image of the battery and the screen background image. It also makes an annoying click too... This flashing seems to go on indefinitely.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Jimmy

Welcome to the Apple community.
If this is the first generation Apple TV, then unfortunately it sounds like the unit has failed. You might try removing all the cables for a few minutes and then powering it back up, however even should this prove successful, the Apple TV may well do the same thing again shortly after.

Ipad won't respond to forced shutdown...spinning between battery icon and apple icon and flashing home screen

ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen

After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.

in the end ... i did it too.
for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
- absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
- leave the battery run flat
- open itunes
- connect usb
- when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
- if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
- after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
- upload ios5b7
anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days

Iphone 3gs freezing/screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Any ideas what to do please?

can you help please? Phone having funny fit, screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Then screens merging.. Yuk!

Hey kathlovesparis,
First, I would reset the device:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

IPhoto 9.2.1 Update causes screen flash between desktop and blank

A customer brought his MacBook Pro to us after updating his iPhoto to 9.2.1.
When he boots up, it loads and flashes between his desktop and a blank bluish/black screen in 1sec intervels.
If you pull up iPhoto it will stop and everything runs "normal"
I have run a Software Update on iPhoto and the System as a starting point.
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Processor: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
iPhoto 9.2.1
Any suggestions?

At this time, I'm leaving iPhoto on.
The Finder works just fine. Don't see any problems.
I restarted.
At first it did not blink. Saw the desktop.
Then it began to alternative between a color and the desktop.

Desktop Screen Flashes Between a Blue Screen and a Desktop Screen

Product: HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j000 Select Edition CTO Notebook PC, Model C9G48AAR, Product Number: C8P45AV
Problem: After logging in, the screen flashes the Start Screen on and off in random fashion, and is unresponsive to any input.
Effort: We followed the instructions on the HP web site for this symptom (Desktop Screen Flashes Between a Blue Screen with a Blank Taskbar and a Desktop Screen on Startup (Windows 8)), but it failed at step 8 - the Start Screen flashes in Safe Mode with no way to find or enter the "Control Panel" step. We have also rolled back the system to the last restore point, reseated the memory, and reset the BIOS - all HP recommended processes for video problems.
Current Status: We always look to resolve any problems via the HP web site first; this one had us stumped. We went to the "Contact HP" to chat with a service agent, but discovered that our warranty expired eight days ago. We were directed to this forum for assistance. The laptop is my son's and is being used for his college courses. We need any help you can provide as quickly as possible. Thanks!

Ipod nano flashes between apple logo and battery charge icon

When i connect my ipod to my computer, the screen flashes between the apple startup logo and a battery is very low message. When the ipod is not plugged on, it does nothing because it has no power. Neither iTunes nor my computer are reading that the ipod is connected. Does anybody know what is going on and how to fix it?
My ipod is a first generation nano.

There is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member.

- You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see what they say or call AppleCare
- Just do not press hard. The iPod screen includes an LCD screen

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGLE LEVEL AND MULTI LEVEL COSTING

Sir,'
Please explain the difference between Single Level and Multi Level Costing in Detail
thanking You

While using material ledger, we can use the single level or multi-level price determination for valuation of inventory.
Procurement processes are used in Product Cost Controlling to determine procurement costs and to present those costs. Purchase Order, for example, is single-level procurement and Production is multilevel procurement.
Single-level material price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price and the cumulative single-level differences of the period are taken into account. Single-level material price determination takes into account the differences that arise directly when a material is procured.
Multilevel price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price, the single-level differences cumulated in the period, the differences between planned and actual prices, as well as input material differences (multilevel differences) are all taken into account.
Single-level material price determination is a prerequisite for Multi-level price determination.

Required - Battery Level and network signal strent...

It would be very useful if there was a Battery Level and network signal strenth indicators in OVi Suite. IMO even free mobile management apps have this useful feature.So it shouldnt be a problem for Nokia to add this to Ovi suite.

When I connect my N8 to the PC I get the below window pop up.
So it seems the function you describe already exists.
Thanks

I plugged my ipod, but it wont charge. it keeps flashing between the apple and the charge screen, what can I do?

I plugged my ipod touch into my computer but it won't charge or my computer won't recognise it. It keeps flashing between the apple sign and charge screen but the battery is not increasing at all, what can I do?

See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
