Screen flashing new xserve

I just unboxed our new XServe and the screen fades to blue and then comes back to whatever screen I managed to get to. When it fades the mouse stops working. I get the same thing on a CRT and LCD and at different resolutions.I've been working around these intermittent screen flashes for a day and I've updated the system to 10.5.1 and still no luck. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks for any help.

This will be my last post on this topic, so here was the final resolution to all the problems.
I worried that Apple Care might not be receptive to my claim of DOA status. So I checked with a fellow Mac consultant and our on-campus Mac re-seller who acted as the sales agent for the Xserve purchase. Our sales rep. said the best I could do is to get a technical support engineer to declare the machine DOA, then assign a case number to that machine's serial number. When I called Apple Care, the technical support guy asked what was happening. I described it very simply as the screen was flashing blue, then fading in and out at the login screen or at the desktop. The mouse and keyboard were unresponsive when the screen was blue or fading into or out of blue. He said he had already heard this from one other person and it was the most bizarre hardware problem he had ever run into. He asked me what I wanted to do, and I said, I want the machine declared DOA and given a case number so I could hand off the machine to my local sales rep. He gave me the case number, and the Sales Rep. is now handling the full RMA with Apple directly on my behalf. So with any luck we'll get a replacement machine before too long, and I can migrate our old Xserve to the new machine.
For anyone wondering what the flashing/fading blue screen of death looks like on the Xserve, check out this link on my website:

  • When installing new apps-screen flashes

    Since I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, when I am istalling new apps, just as it is finishing the install, my screen flashes for a slip second.
    I have also noticed these flashing behaviors when I scroll on some web sites. I was attributing that to my super fast processor.
    Also, I did upgrade my ram to 48 GIG's reciently. About the same time I upgraded to Mounatin Lion.

    Not all applications are drag and drop. Most shareware you'll find is, but others are not. As with Safari Beta. Double click on the install box. This brings up a a new screen, asking you to pick the drive to used for the install. Select the drive, click the install(continue button) and all should be fine.

  • New Intel iMac crashes after a screen flash

    My new Intel iMac keeps crashing. When I'm using Photoshop CS3 the screen flashes and then the machine crashes. Did a search but couldn't find anyone else reporting the same problem. I updated the recent firmware update from Apple.

    Hello m:
    You indicate your system is new. Your best course of action would be to contact Applecare (or take it to an Apple store) for diagnosis and/or repair (under warranty).

  • New Garage Band screen flashing

    Hello Everyone!
    I updated my Garage Band and when I click the about window at the main window that Garage Band starts, I click on the about window and the WHOLE screen flashes, creating a lag. It's not the application flashing but it's the whole window flashing. I reinstalled the application but the problem still exists. Can anyone tell me what's going on with Garage Band? Thanks!

    this does not appear to be a pitch problem, this seems like a volume/loudness issue.
    you'll need to turn down the input gain on whatever equipment you are using (interface, USB mic, built-in mic, etc)

  • When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15", my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen.  How do I fix this??

    Hi Everyone,
    This problem just started today.  When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version), my screen is light gray like normal, and then after a few seconds my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds, and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen (where I choose to login as myself or a guest user).  This suddenly started today and has not stopped since.  This keeps happening every single time I turn on or restart my computer.
    Yesterday I installed all the Mavericks and other updates that were available in the App Store, so I'm wondering if this is related to that since this never happened prior to my doing those updates yesterday.  When I first installed the new OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) update, it went through the whole installation process (took about 10 minutes), and then during the installation I got an error message saying that it couldn't verify my iTunes application that was on my laptop, and then my laptop finished installing the updates.  Then once my laptop restarted, the App Store "Updates" section said that I had to do the whole OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) and iTunes (Version 11.2) updates all over again.  So my laptop did the whole installation again (took about 10 minutes, but this time I didn't get that "iTunes error message" during the installation process). 
    Now, when I go to the App Store "Updates" section, it says the following under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 days":
    -Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update (Version 5.05) installed May 15, 2014
    -OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
    -iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
    -OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
    -iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
    -Security Update 2014-002 (Version 1.0) installed April 22, 2014
    I'm wondering if this flashing bright yellow screen upon bootup is related to the fact that my laptop installed the OS X Update and the iTunes Update two times each?  Or is this new problem totally unrelated?  It's just that this problem started a day after these 2 updates were installed twice.
    My Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version) is otherwise working fine at least as of now.  The only issue so far is this flashing bright yellow screen every time I turn on or restart my computer.
    If anyone could please help me fix this so that my bootup screen doesn't flash completely bright yellow anymore, I would be forever grateful! 
    Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can provide. 
    hope everyone is well,
    Elaine

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • PSE7 Organizer does not start properly, screen flashes, PC stops

    Hello. I can't find this problem mentioned on the forum.
    I've used PSE4 and 5 in the past without problems. Have just completed a clean install of PSE7 (no PS or PSE previously installed on this system, a ThinkPad T60 with 2MB). The Editor runs fine.
    I ran the Organizer once, set some preferences, pointed it at a small number of images to import, then the whole screen started flashing and soon my system stopped in its tracks - no blue screen.
    Now, when I try and start the Organizer, it spends maybe half a minute "Generating thumbnails" without success (all the thumbnails have egg timers on them). It uses 50% CPU. It still says "Generating thumbnails" after half a minute or so when the screen starts flashing and the system crashes again.
    Any ideas?

    Fixed. Thank you John.
    I renamed the preferences file but that made no difference.
    So I repaired the catalog (errors were found) and optimized it. When I started the Organizer, thumbnails were displayed (that's progress) but then the screen-flashing started again (whole screen, as usual, not just the Organizer window). Before I could close the Organizer, my system stopped with a blank, black screen, and no response to any input. I had to hold the power button to power down. On reboot, it blue-screened. On next reboot it started normally.
    So I created a new catalog and the Organizer started fine. Then I set it off getting photos from a folder of folders of jpegs (with the odd txt and other file type). After a few seconds, the screen-flashing started again, and I quickly closed the Organizer.
    When I restarted it, the catalog was empty, so I had it get just one folder of photos at a time. On the very last one, the problem started again. I found an AVI file that I'd overlooked, removed it, and the problem went away. The AVI was one I recorded on a digital compact.
    The Help for Organizer says:
    "The Organizer catalogs video AVI files properly, but audio AVI files are shown as broken video thumbnail icons. However, they will play correctly."
    Hmmm...doesn't seem to be the case for me. Even if AVIs were unsupported or known to cause problems, I would never expect to see the symptoms I did.
    Hopefully my experience will help others. Incidentally, I run XP Pro SP3, fully updated.

  • MB screen flashes on and off...HELP!

    Just got a new macbook for my wife. Came from Apple with 2 sticks of 256mb RAM. I added 2 1gb Patriot sticks from Newegg. all seemed well. but now under load, not full load just opening apps, the screen flashes black and then after a few seconds it comes back on. It happens often enough to be annoying.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Replaced with apple shipped ram.- Doesn't seem to occur, so I figured bad ram...
    2. Ran memtest on both stick individually. 3 passes on each stick
    3. Reset PMU as advised by AppleCare
    Still could be bad ram but...
    1. I pulled the two 1gb APPLE RAM sticks from my 17" MBP, still occured.
    2. Tried the Patriot 1gb sticks in my MPB, all is fine.
    So I don't think it is bad ram?
    Any helpers out there? Apple wants to blame 3rd party RAM, but their ram that shipped with my MBP exhibit's the problem too...

    My screen was flashing just like yours and failed tonight, 20 days into the purchase. Take it back and get a refund. Don't take another macbook until they get all of these quality control issues worked out. This was my third macbook and I had not been having any problems, but was experiencing the flash. It is starting up in the background and can be used in target disk mode, so the issue is the screen. Return while you can, it will eventually go out completely.

  • View in browser - screen flashes white

    Although I'm fairly new to CS5, all has been going well til now. New site, whilst testing in Google Chrome and Safari, when loading between html pages, the screen flashes white. I'm using a couple of jsQuery - one is Galleria, the other is page transitions from onextrapixel.com . Haven't experienced this with any other site I've done. Would appreciate any words of wisdom.
    Thanks

    Would it be possible to see this page uploaded somewhere?
    I'm thinking it has something to do with the combination of the two scripts.  For the onextrapixel transition can you provide a link to that one.
    And lastly this jumped out at me in your code:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../html/jquery-page-transitions/js/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script >
      <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.js"></script>
    For some reason you are including 2 different Jqueries.  You really shouldn't need this unless one of your scripts is using an older version and if 1.6.4 (the latest version) is working you can keep one or the other, but you don't need both.

  • My ipad screen flashes when i turn it on

    My Ipad screen flashes whenever i turn it on what should i do

    I resently purchased an ipad and i think i could help. Does it look like a plug and itunes? Thats what came up on mine. Try pluging it into your laptop and go on itunes. They say the new ipad with ios5, you dont need your computer, then i cant help you there. But go to an apple store they are very helpful. They helped me recently and they are very nice. They could help anyone, from old people, to youngsters like myself. I hope i helped you. I tried my best :)......keep in mind, im only 12
    P.s. i purchased my ipad before ios 5

  • IPhone screen flashing white/black/blue

    I have a 64GB iPhone 6 Plus, the phone is running the most recent version of iOS 8.
    I didn't drop the phone, get it wet or anything. All of sudden the screen started flashing black and white, and blue. I can still send receive texts, calls etc, sound is working fine. I just can't interact with the screen because it's flashing colors. It is very similar to the problem experienced by the user in this thread: iphone 6 plus screen flashing white and black
    I've already rebooted the device and tried plugging it into a computer (it wont recognize the phone because I've never plugged it into the computer before).
    I'm on vacation, at a wedding and I don't have access to an Apple Store. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get my phone to working order?

    Thanks for that info. I restore the phone without any data In the end (as a new device). In order to make the problem go away I had to:
    1. enter DFU
    2. Update device
    3. Restore device
    4. Setup as a new device
    It didn't work without completing all 4 of the steps. after setting it up as a new device it still flickered a bunch and the color were funny. Especially when looking at high definition photos. It was like it was threatening to start flashing black and white again. I turned the phone off for a while and then when I turned it back on it was fine. It's been fine since then. well see what hapPens.

  • When Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash (-) stuck.

    when Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash and I think its the press any key screen but on a Mac its Just Flashing Dash .
    I press every button going and nothing happens.
    and my only option is to turn off the mac to boot back in OSX.
    MacBook trying to Install Windows XPSP3 disk.

    I too am having the same problem. I do not know about the host of this thread, but I have been using a brick and mortar version of XP SP2 stand alone so it is not bundled with a computer like Dell, HP, etc.
    I have run it before just fine but it was time to reformat the drive, 0'd everything out, reinstalled 10.5.2, upgraded everything, repaired permissions and them ran Boot Camp. Put in the XP disc and all I get is the flashing dash mark in the upper left hand corner. I actually have 2 legal versions of XP SP2 stand alone and the same result on both discs so it has to be something with the partioning? I also redid the partitioning at various sizes all with the same effect. No luck.
    Any new thoughts anyone?

  • Maintaining proportions with full screen flash

    hi, I have a flash site set up that allows a mc in the
    background containing various images to always take up the full
    browser window while the foreground elements remain unchanged. What
    I would like to do is keep the background images from distorting
    when the window is resized...a good example of this is on
    redtettemer.com - it maintains proportions and just cuts off at the
    bottom or side if it would cause any distortion.
    this is the current code I have on frame 1:
    Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
    Stage.align = "TL";
    var stageListener:Object = new Object ();
    stageListener.onResize = positionContent;
    Stage.addListener(stageListener);
    function positionContent():Void {
    portfolio_bg._width = Stage.width;
    portfolio_bg._height = Stage.height;
    positionContent();
    can anyone help with this?
    thanks

    No, like cberube said, the graphics aren't corrupt/garbled at all.
    The frame rate of the flash video when full screened is the problem here. It has to be something related to OSX and the Adobe Flash player built into the browser. I tried this in both Safari and Firefox to isolate the browser as a variable in the problem.
    No matter the quality of the flash vid (it could be an HD TV show from hulu, or it could be some crappy youtube vid) the frame rate will drop massively if you select full screen, but return to normal "smooth" rate when you exit full screen. The only way to fix this is to uncheck "Enable Hardware acceleration" by right clicking on the flash video and entering the flash player settings within the browser.
    This is only a work-around as unchecking hardware acceleration means your CPU must now work harder to render the graphics since it seems the OSX on-board graphics unit isn't capable of handling it. Normally, if this happened, OSX would activate the NVIDIA gpu which should be more than capable of rendering a full screen flash video without breaking a sweat. This doesn't seem to be occurring though.
    Hopefully this is a clearer description of the problem.

  • Ipod nano 7th: Screen flashes white (turns off) and stops the music.

    I just got a brand new Ipod nano 7th: Less than 10 seconds after the song starts playing the screen flashes white, the apple logo shows up and it returns to 'home' screen. Battery is full. Tried to restart but that didnt help!
    What could be the problem?

    Hi joannefromhkg,
    If your iPod nano (7th generation) will not turn on at all I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    Specifically -
    Follow these steps if your iPod a power-related issue.
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting it while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least six seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    And -
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L
