My iphone5 screen flashes when trying to make a call. I can't access any of screen features.

My screen flashes when trying to make an outgoing call. I am unable to access any of the screen features such as keyboard etc.

Could be a problem with the proximity sensor. Are you using a case around your phone or a protective film attached to the screen? If yes, remove them, to make sure that the sensor is not covered.
Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.

If you have tried everything, then by definition, there is nothing else to try.
Perhaps if you explained what you tried someone can help.
If you have actually tried everything, then there is nothing anyone can do to help.
Did you try reset?

Yes. Just turn it off in settings.
You should read the manual:

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Flash 10 - I have tried everything!

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) for 2 weeks to install Flash 10 (following a prompt to update - wish I hadn't now!). I have scoured the forums and tried everything mentioned so far. I'm running XP and IE8. Started off with the "failed to register" problem. Uninstalled using the uninstall download then reinstalled using the downloadable installer then had the tn-19166 error. Can anyone help please

Hello eidnolb and thanks for the quick reply!
you're probably right to be sticking to old things that work, but yes, I did install the october and november windows updates, even installed 5 updates since I published my post, among them the "Update for Internet Explorer 8 Compatibility View List for Windows Vista" and "Security Update for Jscript 5.8 for Windows Vista" which sounded promising to address the issue discussed here (but no). I even updated my java, by downloading the latest package from their site (where I was told my version was old), as suggested by someone in a discussion related to the flash player issue, which turned out to be not such a good idea as java is now taking 50% of cpu and almost freezing ie, which will be another issue that I'll have to deal with later...
My installed adobe programs are "Flash Player 10 ActiveX", "Reader 9.2" and "Shockwave Player 11.5" (which I also downloaded following a recommendation in a discussion related to this issue, but to no avail).
Adobe add-ons are "PDF Link Helper" and "PDF Reader" by "Adobe Systems, Incorporated" (with comma) and "Shockwave Flash Object" by Adobe Systems Incorporated (without the comma - don't know if it makes any sense but ie8 lists them in two different categories), which is the Flash10c.ocx version 10.0.32.18 (latest). (All enabled). Before there was also the "Get atlcom Class" add-on under "Adobe Sytems Incorporated" (without comma) like frustratedcarol, which apparently is a feature of FlashPlayer 9 ("the add-on you have to download in order to get adobe reader 9.1" according to luis100123 in this discussion http://forums.adobe.com/message/1924579), but after running the uninstall_flash_player.exe several times it finally disappeared.
The version 10 Flash Player I have now installed (during several attempts to repair possible installation errors, as suggested by adobe, though nothing was actually indicating I had had any installation errors, appart from the fact that flash player won't play internet radio streams in ie) was installed by using install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi, Install Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe and install_flash_player_ax.exe (all downloaded standalone install-devices found through links in discussions about this issue) AND I have gone into the system32/macomed/flash folder to do a manual (and "run as administrator" as with the others) install of FlashUtil10c.exe, as was also suggested in sveral threads. (All this didn't help me more then it did frustratedcarol or the many others still searching for the solution). (Haven't gone back to do an online installation from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/).
Concerning possible conflicts with other add-ons, I have tried deactivating ALL add-ons except for the Shokwave Flash Object, it didn't change anything about the jolting radio streams.
Must have spent more then 10 hours on this issue now. If you can figure it out, you're a hero!!!
many thanks for your concern!

Macbook pro stuck on grey apple logo screen - HELP! I've tried everything

I've looked through the forum for help and I think I've tried everything short of erasing and reinstalling mac os x -
- I've done an fsck (got "invalid volume count", "invalid node structure", "volume check failed" errors)
- booted from install disk and tried to verify disk (same errors as above)
- tried to "archive and install" mac os but got error saying "the destination disk must be erased for installation"
I tried T-starting my laptop connected to another mac (a powerbook g4) to try to backup my files before erasing and reinstalling mac os - but the mbp hard drive won't mount on the powerbook.
My latest idea is to try installing mac os x onto an external drive - and then booting my macbook pro from the external drive... and see if I get anywhere. my only concern is, I have to make SURE the option saying "Install Mac OS X - Installs Mac OS X for the first time" does NOT delete the contents of the external drive (it is a client's and cannot be erased!). I know there is also the option that says "Erase and Install" -- but I just want to make sure the first option will NOT delete the contents of an external drive.
Anyone know for sure? Or have any other suggestions? I have some work on my macbook pro that I cannot lose. Unfortunately I have not been backing things up... big mistake that I will not repeat.
Thanks in advance.

DiskWarrior is the answer, as sig has suggested. It can sort out directory damage that is well beyond Disk Utility's repair capabilities. If you already had a bootable external hard drive of your own, I'd urge you to buy and download DiskWarrior and install it on the bootable external drive, then run it from there to rebuild the directory on your internal drive. I have to say that using a client's hard drive to solve your own problem would be appalling and unconscionable, and I hope you'll forget that idea.
If you can't see your way to buying an external hard drive along with DiskWarrior, you'll have to buy DW on a bootable disc, or order one online and wait for it to arrive.
If you can buy an external hard drive of your own in addition to DiskWarrior — and I can't think of any better use for a credit card, if cash is short — then you'll be able to boot your MBP to a Leopard installer disc, install Leopard on the new external drive, and then buy DiskWarrior as a download (rather than on a disc) and use it as I described above. After sorting out the internal drive with DW, clone the internal to the external drive with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, and there's your backup from now on.
I should add that although Western Digital external hard drives seem to be available cheaply everywhere, I strongly recommend against buying one. Seagate drives are also widely available, and would be a better choice.

White screen flash when I use Preview to look at pics!

GDay all
About a week ago my G5 Duel started flashing a white screen (like a camera flash) when I load any jpg tiff or pdf using Preview. I minimise the photo file, then load it back to full size and I get a white flash.
Its like someone is taking a screen dump of my screen every time I use the preview program... If I was on a PC I would think I was being hacked...
Any ideas?

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
Let us know.

My thunderbolt screen flashes when hooked up to macbook pro after downloading new lion software

does anyones monitor flash when using new lion software and thunderbolt monitor

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

MacBookAir screen flashes when waking up

I have a mid 2011 MacBookAir.
Since getting the Mountain Lion the screen has almost constanly flashed when I open the cover to wake the computer from sleep.
It's like PhotoBooth flash, but there isno picture in photobooth.
What is this? Should I be worried?

I'm having this issue as well. It appears that 2012 Macbook Air users are too:

Screen Flashes when opening lid after locked - T410s w/discrete -- Video of problem inside

My computer is set to password lock (in Windows 7) when I close the lid, but remain powered on. When I open the lid of the computer, the screen flashes around 10 times before it gives me the login screen.
My bios is updated, my graphics are turned to 'high performance' ... always on - when plugged in with A/C adapter.
Anyone know what the problem might be?

@paradiddle,
If it is possible, could you try removing the password so when the system wakes up from sleep, see if the screen flashes.
Also when your display is "out" to the TV via HDMI, try pressing Fn + F7 and see if you are able to switch it back to laptop view without rebooting. You could also change this via Display Properties.

White screen flash when shutting down after a suspend

If I have suspended my laptop at any time during its uptime, when shutting down the screen flashes white, but it turns off as usual. This only happens if I have suspened.
There are no issues as far as I can tell, I see nothing much in journalctl when comparing a suspeded shutdown vs no suspend.
Im using nouveau, and I'm up-to-date as of now.
Google hasnt returned much,
Anyone else seeing this?
