Screen flicker..is everybody experiencing this?

before i soon go out and buy the mba 13",
can any body say that they are _not experiencing_ the screen flicker when scrolling issue.
if everybody is,
is apple expecting this to be regarded as normal?

The 10.6.5 update fixes the flicker issue that some users experienced after waking their MacBook Air from sleep. The flicker issue that "ashhast" is asking about is unrelated, he's asking about the flicker while scrolling issue. As far as I understand, this issue is caused by a problem in the hardware that can not be repaired through software. I personally am experiencing this issue on a 13" MacBook Air (and have installed all the software updates available up until today, December 17th). You could take a look at the thread "Flickering screen when scrolling" started by "nonicoclolasos" for some more information:

My Ipad screen flickers when there is a bright light in the field of the camera. Is this a wide spread problem?

Hi Mac OS 9000,
If it flickers when you take pictures then the use case you mention makes sense.
But I would consider it a problem because I was able to see the screen flicker when I was using skype video call.
I was able to see flickering in the following applications
1. Camera
2. Facetime
3. Skype (video call)
4. Oovoo (video chat)

IPad 2 screen flicker when quickly sleep then wake. can people test this on their iPad 2?

Hi.
As the title says if i quickly press the sleep/wake button a few times quickly there will be a screen flicker with lines on the screen for a split second, can people test this for me to see if it's software related? 3 of the 5 ipad's i've tested this on has the issue. Does your iPad 2 do this? thanks

This is happening to a lot of iPad 2's. Glad it wasn't just me.
I had my first iPad 2 from the uk launch day and I was disappointed when I realised mine was showing significant lines on the screen when it was activated. It gradually got worse until the point I had to take it back tothe retailer I bought it from (comet uk). I was appaled with their 3 DAY retun period. But, after a loooooong phonecall to their head office and AppleCare and with a great deal of arguing they gave my money back. I then bought one from the apple store. Got home and found that the SAME THING was happening. But worse.
Took it back yet again and got another that finally works.
Just to let you all know it is a hardware fault and it isn't normal. Take it back to wherever you got it. It isn't a software glitch either as I updated to the latest at the time with no luck. Tried wiping all my data off it too with no luck.
I've lost my respect for my iPad 2 and apple as it's ridiculous that everybody hypes the products and then when you spend all that money it doesn't work. Third time lucky though, eh?

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

Nooo or you would use OS X Recovery Mode: Disk Utilty and then Startup Disk.

HT4623 I updated my phone yesterday to ios7.0.4 and have lost the mail icon along the bottom of the screen which sits with safari, phone and the music icon. Has anyone else experienced this?

my phone is an iphone 4 and after the update to ios7.0.4 yesterday, i have lost all email facility. I dont have any email icon or button across the bottom of the phone which sits next to the phone, safari and music buttons. Has anyone else experienced this?? Thanks in advance

Hi kylie,
The Mail app cannot be deleted, so it is there somewhere. Look at all of your other Home screens to see if you can find it.
If you cannot, do a spotlight search to see if it got accidently moved into a folder: swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the search bar - type in Mail - you should see the Mail icon in the search results. If it got moved into a folder, you will see the folder name on the right side. If it is in a folder, open the folder, and tap and hold the Mail icon until it wiggles, then slide it out and back to the place where you want it to be.
If that doesn' work, you can also go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will move all of your icons into the original order that they were on the phone. You may have to move stuff around after this to where you want it to be, but all of the Apple system apps will be on the first Home screen.
Cheers,
GB

This shouldn't happen. Take it back since it's new.

Double-tap the screen with three fingers, then go to Settings and disable the Zoom function so you don't accidentally trigger it again.

My iMac 21" 500 GB stalls at 1st gray screen. Finally booted up after about 10 minutes. Anybody experienced this? thanks

When it "stalled at the 1st gray screen" did you see a progress bar(in addition to the normal spinning gear)? If so, you were starting up in Safe Mode.
This can happen automatically if problems with the file system are found. If you were able to get started up, that would generally indicate that it(fsck) was able to repair the problems.
Have you been able to restart since this happened?

My iPhone 5 screen starts to shake/ becomes jittery at random intervals. Is anyone else experiencing this?

My iPhone 5 screen starts to shake/ becomes jittery at random intervals. Is anyone else experiencing this? At first I thought it was the app I had currently been using but shortly after I was at my home screen and the display started shaking rapidly in and up and down motion. Any tips on fixes or experiences of other users will be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting this on my 5s. When scrolling fast i get random complete screen halts. When holding down on a scrollable portaion of a screen the screen jittes badly and then begins to hop all over the place.
Seems a bit suspicious, and more than a little disappointing.
Any thoughts anyone?

Safari is unstable (screen flicks up and down) and zooms in to largest size frequently. Is there a fix for this?

My Safari is unstable (screen fliocks up and down) This is especially frustration when I scroll to a link, then it moves while I am try ing to click it. It also zooms in to the largest size frequently. Is there a fix for this short of reinstalling Safari?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Macbook Pro 13 Early 2011 ocasional screen flicker...

I bought a MBP 13 early 2011 i5 new about 2 weeks ago. Over the last week or so I get an occasional screen flicker. I lasts about a second and that is it. I had a MBP 13 2010 for a year before this one and never experienced this problem with that one. I am running Lion and all the software is up to date. I guess I am wondering if anyone else with this model has experienced this, is normal, or should it be something I should be concerned about. Thanks in advance for any answers on this. Also not related to heating either, temp is running the 40's, and just web browsing.

Call Apple Care. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked. Otherwise, you have the standard 1 year warranty and 3 years if you purchased Apple Care.
Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

Screen flicker when copying to desktop

I am experiencing a sudden screen flicker when I copy files or folders to my desktop? Doesn't seem to affect the system in any way, just very annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix for this?
Thanks, Rick

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.
