Screen flickering when playing VCD

the screen flickering throughout whenever a VCD movie is played, is this a software bug?
(at the same time, having very poor image quality when DVD movie is played)

have sent my Macbook to the service center, after 2 weeks, I was told that I need to downgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 (problem still exist even after updating Mac OS X 10.5.2)
Is this confirmed a sofware problem?
Can users of Mac OS X 10.5.2 (on MacBook) please comment.

  • T400 Screen flickers, when I connect power adapater in my home

    T400 Screen flickers, when I connect power adapater in my home. When I connect the same power adapter in my office. It works fine. Can any one please suggest me, what's the issue with the T400 laptop. If it's a issue with my power supply in my home , how all other computers are working.

    Hi Snowfall,
    Have you resolved your flickering issue? It looks like I have the same on my Ideapad Y550P. Screen flickers occasionally when I work connected to the power adapter at home. And what is more concerning is that the brightness control also stops functioning sometimes.
    In your case how has the situation evolved? Has your laptop been repaired or you just live with it as is or has the issue deteriorated into something worse? Just want to get some arguments in my discussions with the SL2 support who cannot reproduce the problem in their office...
    Any extra informaton is much appreciated.

  • Screen flickers when running games in Windows XP

    Okay, so I'm running Windows XP 32bit sp3 through Bootcamp. I have to say that Windows doesn't run perfectly through this, probably due to compatibility issues. I'm running a 24" iMac 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.
    Basically, here's my issue
    Screen starts to flicker when playing games, I'm guessing because it is somewhat graphic intensive. It starts happening gradually after playing for say, 20-30 minutes. Sometimes it gets so bad that it is impossible to even play. The screen might also start "tearing" if you understand my meaning. When I exit out of the game when it has been flickering for a while, the screen still flickers indefinitely afterward, not stopping. Restarting temporarily fixes the problem. I have tried various methods in attempt to fix this, including updating my graphic card drivers and even pressing the "Use inverse telecine" button under the Nividia Control panel. But all in all, nothing significant has changed and I haven't found a solution. My computer should be able to play the games, since I am far over their requirements (I am trying to play Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam).

    I set it to a minimum of 600 on ODD, 2500 on HDD, and 1700 on CPU and it seems to work pretty well, but right now I have it set to about 3500 HDD and 2200 CPU. At this moment in MAC OSX, my iMac's temperature has been at 88ºF for about 10 minutes since startup running Safari.
    You can play around with it, but it might get a bit noisy as you put it higher. I haven't bothered too much with the ODD because I've been playing Battlefield 2 which doesn't require a CD with the newest patch.
    The main thing I would pay attention to is CPU, since that is where games use a lot of energy.
    Feel free to set the speeds at whatever you feel is good. Hope this helps!!!
    Haha it took me forever to figure this thing out

  • Screen flickers when using magnetic lasso

    Hello,
    First I want to say that my english is kinda crappy so, sorry for that.
    My problem is, when i'm  drawing a line with the magnetic lasso tool, after a few seconds the screen flickers one time and my line is a selection.
    Same with the color picker, when I hold my left mouse button to choose a color it flickers and is "Not responding".
    I'm using CS4 and Windows 7
    I hope someone can help me
    Thank you

    There were several issues with mostly the MS InteliPoint drivers, but also some of the Logitec SetPoint drivers, causing just such behavior in Adobe programs' GUI. In those cases, just removing either the InteliPoint, or SetPoint drivers, as has been mentioned, cleared things up. Going back about two years, I'd guess that three releases of the InteliPoint drivers did this horribly. It seemed to have been fixed with later releases, but recently showed back up in both the PrPro and AfterEffects fora.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - was going to make a joke that it was the "magnet" in the Magnetic Lasso, messing with the monitor, but thought better of it. Would not have been funny anyway...

  • Screen flickers when resuming from sleep mode

    I have a newly brought T430 laptop with the Nvdia graphics card. Sometimes when I resume from sleep mode, the screen flickers before entering into the desktop view.
    Is this a problem or normal? I hope nothing is wrong with my gpu. Is there a way to check?
    Thanks!

    It is definitely not a Leopard bug because it has been happening on every portable Mac I've ever had.
    I don't agree. I had no problems at all with my MacBook Pro running Tiger. I initially did an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard and when the problems started I assumed it was a problem with the upgrade. I then completely erased and did a clean install of Leopard. The problem has actually gotten worse since I did the clean re-install.

    Just close the screen, wait for it to go back to sleep, then open it again. It will probably be fine.
    As I mentioned in my opening post, I've gone through that song and dance more times than I can count. I've closed it, waited for as much as an hour, opened it back up...same problem. I've hard powered it down, closed it, disconnected the AC adapter, removed the battery, opened it, held down the power button for 15 seconds, re-installed the battery, reconnected the AC adapter, pushed the power button, and the display will still be dark. It's sometimes taken as many as 5 or 6 iterations of that process before it will finally reset whatever problem it was having and boot normally with a functioning display.

  • Green screen issues when playing videos in fb + youtube

    at first i noticed a re-occurring problem when playing videos via facebook or youtube. A green screen randomly appeared now and then until i reset the laptop. I tried many things, including one suggestion to change quality option from 480p to 140p via settings option in youtube. It worked on some occasions, was able to view video as the green screen disappeared. Of course, as expected, image quality suffered. I contacted Lenovo to inform them of issues I was having with viewing videos, they advised it was a problem with the adobe software and that I should check to see if I have an updated version installed on my laptop. (currently running O/S windows 8.1 and IE 11), I downloaded chrome, fortunately, I am able to view videos in youtube properly even though they appear as a green screen in IE 11. Not so lucky with facebook however, green screens in IE when playing Facebook video uploads appear as black screens in chrome. I reset the laptop and everything appears to be running fine. Is this an adobe software issue? Lenovo seems to think so, Seeing as how others experience the same issue regardless of the make and model of laptop, they may be right.

    Please work through the video troubleshooting guide.

  • Screen flickers when dragging from dock lists to desktop

    Hi there, I have a Mid 2010, 27 inch iMac 2.93 GHz Inter Core i7 with 8 GB ram with ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB. Running Lion 10.7.2.
    I have noticed that lately when I click and drag an item from my Downloads (the list on the Dock) to my desktop, my screen flickers for a second before I release it. Screen shot included:
    What can be the cause of this? Is my graphics card dying after 1 year?

    Vlad - you win the award for the most cluttered desktop on the planet.    I think you get a plaque for this!
    It appears you have an issue with the graphics card.  You should run the Apple Hardware Test.
    Here's how:
    The Apple Hardware Test.
    If you have Applecare, set up an appointment at the Genius bar asap (before your Applecare expires).  If you do not have Applecare, I strongly suggest you get it asap (before you no longer qualify to buy it) and then set up your Genius Bar appointment.

  • Screen flickers when computer wakes from sleep

    O.k., so I also had this problem when I updated to 10.6.8, but it's still here in Lion.........
    When the computer wakes from sleep, I get a single flicker along the bottom 1/3rd of the screen, then everything's o.k.
    It's just annoying, that's all. I've backed out to 10.6.7 on 3 occasions, and the flicker disappears.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    I'm running a 2010 Quad-core Mac Pro with SSD and 27" Display.
    Bob.

    Update:
    I've now been to the local Apple store, and tried their display Mac Pro/27" Cinema Display combo, and guess what.......the screen flickers on wake-up.
    I asked the guy in the store about it, and he says "oh yes, I see that. No-one has noticed that before, I wonder if mine does it at home".
    I tried the Mac Mini with 27" Cinema display, and the 27" iMacs, and they were o.k. (no flicker).
    So, this only affects Mac Pro's running 2560 x 1440 resolution.
    I've booked another call with Apple Support. No doubt they'll still tell me to take my computer in for testing, even though I've shown they all do it (the guy in the Apple shop suggested that, even though I demonstrated the flicker to him on the one in the shop).
    I wonder how long this will take to get a software fix? Problem is, the Pro is not mass-market (like Macbooks and iMacs), so it may take an awful long time.
    In the meantime, I'm sticking with 10.6.7.
    Bob.

  • Sometimes flickering when playing low to medium games

    pc flickers with some games, tried  another monitor still flickered,  pc only has integrated graphics. 
     Would changing power box to higher level and putting in a video card help?

    Hello @gary2165,
    I have read your post on how your desktop's display screen flickers with some games, and I would be happy to help you!
    Since you mentioned that this issue occurs on multiple displays, I recommend following the steps in this document on Display Quality Issues. This should help to refresh the resolution, as well as updating any applicable graphics card drivers.
    If the flickering continues, you may need to upgrade your graphics card to use the monitor.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Photoshop CS6 - Screen flickering when using brushes with new MacAir 2013

    Would the Adobe team please respond to the issues reported by several users:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5449199
    A number of users experience severe screen flicker in Photoshop CS6 when using any of the larger brush type tools (cloning, eraser, brush, spot healing, burning, and dodging).  As many on this thread are experiencing, it is awfull and unusable! The flicker is screen wide black boxes, sometimes the whole screen goes black.  It only seems to happen when we put the cursor over the image to edit.
    Hardware:  MacBook Air 13", Haswell 1.7 GHz, 8GB, 512 SSD Software:
    Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2 20130105.r.224, OS X v10.8.4 (and perhaps others)
    Looks like a CS6 is not compatible with teh new MacAir. Please look into this and advise.
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.1.2 (13.1.2 20130105.r.224 2013/01/05:23:00:00) x64 Operating System: Mac OS 10.8.4 System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:69, Stepping:1 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, HyperThreading

    An update:
    I went to the Apple store and brought myself a more recent MacBook Air (13", 4/256 FYI, they were out of the 8/512 model).    I can't reproduce *exactly* what you're showing, but got the flicker to happen by resizing the cursor.    Also, while painting, the screen seems to stop updating except for the cursor -- not only is Photoshop unable to draw, but other applications stop drawing as well.  And a few times it hasn't even updated the cursor (while all other apps seem frozen).  That's not normal.
    When I see the flickering, I frequently see the menubar and other UI elements draw at the wrong location on the LCD, then black, then redraw in the correct location -- repeat in different positions and lots of "static" until I stop changing the cursor.  That's more evidence of a hardware or and odd driver issue.  The odd thing is: it doesn't happen all the time.  It's possible that the one we have at the office also shows the problem, but we didn't test long enough.
    I'm trying to reach out to my hardware contacts at Apple - but it's a weekend before a holiday, so we may not make progress immediately.
    One thing that would be useful here: the model of MacBook Air that you have that shows (or doesn't show) the problem.
