Screen Flickers when opening and closing

Hello, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this problem. I'm thinking I'll definitely have to get this fixed. When I open my powerbook, the screen will turn blue, and flicker with vertical bars all over the place. When I adjust the screen it does the same thing - it seems to only do it in certain spots though, but I can leave it in a dodgy position and it will stay like that - to make the problem go away I just have to move it a little bit.
Frustrating - my warranty has expired.
Will the whole screen need to be replaced? If so - does anyone know roughly how much that will cost?

Norris, have you tried calling the Apple Store phone number (1-800-692-7753)?
If that's not getting you anywhere, call Apple Support again, and this time ask for Apple Customer Relations. (I think you can also choose the Apple Customer Relations option in the automated phone system that the Apple Support number runs you through, but if not, simply ask for them.)
Good luck with everything.

  • Spry problems in IE, menus stuttering when opening and closing

    I just intserted some spry collapsible panels into a dreamweaver page I am developing but when I preview the pages in IE8

    That is strange, I just did the same without any problem.
    I did use the original Spry files (JS and CSS).
    How about you, are you using the original files or are you using your own modified files?

  • IPhoto 6 slow when opening and closing

    My wife has a love-hate relationship with iPhoto. iPhoto takes time to open and close. Here is my observations:
    1) MacBook Pro with 512MB and 10 000 pics.The file Library6.iphoto is 130MB and I realized that each operation in iPhoto recreates this file (using the temporary file Library6.temp). It probably explains much of the slowness.
    2) iMac Intel with 1GB and 7 000 pics (subset of the previous 10 000). Now the Library6.iphoto is 17MB. What a difference! Opening and closing time quite acceptable.
    I read a lot of articles on the subject and I don't think that the problem is explained by EXIF info.
    More memory probably makes a difference, but not much.
    The real issue is probably the size of the Library6.iphoto file. I would so much like to take an inside look to each record of this file!
    Is anyone has an idea?

    denismailloux:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Both libraries are at version 6, right? If the one with the 130MB data file is at V5 that would explain the slowness. Have ou tried rebuilding the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select just the option to rebuild the database. See if that won't give you a smaller Library6.iPhoto file.
    Another possibility, if the normal rebuild doesn't do the trick is to rebuild the library with
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    It does not touch or modify the original library so there's no danger of the process messing it up. Worth a try.

  • How to stop the noisy screen when opening and closing?

    Whenever I open, close or adjust the angle of my laptop screen it makes an annoying creek and click sound. The sound usually varies whether its loud or faint.
    I think it's friction or something. Can I lube it up some way?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • When I open Mail the screen flickers random blue and gray appeared on the screen. I took a video too. Will that happen again? Is it hardware problem? This ipad2 32GB was replaced yesterday and I think it is refurbished. Are replace product refurbished?

    I got my ipad2 replaced yesterday. And this new ipad started giving me problem by crashing aps. Then I restored the ipad twice but the problem was still there. I called apple and they fixed it by doing Reset All Settings. But now I have this weird problem. When I open Mail the screen flickers random blue and gray appeared on the screen. I took a video too. Will that happen again? Is it hardware problem? This ipad2 32GB was replaced yesterday and I think it is refurbished. Are replace product refurbished?

    There is no way for anyone here to know if your replacement iPad is a refurbished unit.  Per Apple's replacement policy, replacements can be refurbished units.  If you feel the unit is not working correctly, take it back, let them check it out and if found defective, they will replace that unit.

  • HT4623 Why is my iPad 2 randomly opening and closing apps? And why, at the same time, does the screen goes bigger than smaller repetitively?

    7.29.2013 - iPad2 begins to randomly open and close apps and also the screen changes from bigger to smaller repetitively when the apps are randomly opening and closing. Nothing occurred with the device to indicate why this started happening; it was not dropped, etc.

    If still problem:
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Anyone having issues with iPad2 screen opening and closing like crazy on it's own?

    My iPad2 screen just started opening &amp; closing on it's own like crazy. Like it has a mind of it's own. Driving me insane. Just typing this out will take me over two mins. Anyone know how to fix this??

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".

  • I was in full screen mode and now that I have exited, the main toolbar for Safari is gone.  So please don't say go to View.  Each time I click off of safari to the desktop, it shows me the Finder Toolbar.  I have opened and closed Safari many many times.

    No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
    With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
    further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

  • My iPad is suddenly not loading any apps.  When I click on an app, the screen flickers to black and then back to normal, but will not load the app.  This is ALL the apps, not just one.  Have tried rebooting, to no avail.

    Was a Restore one of the things tried.?  [Attach the iPad to your computer and in iTunes click on your device. On the Summary page click on Restore and go through the process. Be sure to click YES to Restore from a previous backup.]

  • COPA reporting with open and closed projects

    Dear All,
    I am designing a COPA solution for an infrastructure providing company using project systems and posting to/settling out of projects on a monthly basis. Projects run for long periods and continually incurr costs and earn revenue untill they are closed. The requirement is to report by common characteristics (say customer group) and separately for open and closed projects. My issue is how to separate the line items of projects where status changed to closed (having posted with the status REL previously), from the open ones, without entering the projects individually in the selections screen.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Maddy

    An item of a purchase requisition is only regarded as Closed if the requested order quantity has been included in a purchase order.
    You can also set an item to Closed manually. <b>This item will then not be taken into account by the materials planning and control system.</b>
    You can set the Closed indicator manually at the following points (it can later be cancelled if necessary):
    When changing a purchase requisition, on the item detail screen
    When creating a purchase order referencing a requisition, on the item detail screen of the PO
    You can still create purchase orders by referencing a requisition if this indicator has been set in the requisition concerned.
    The indicator can also be set in the case of automatic PO generation from purchase requisitions. On the initial screen of the requisition, you can specify that the requisition is to count as closed as soon as an associated purchase order has been generated, even if the complete quantity requested has not been ordered, for example (Set reqs. to "closed" indicator).
    Analyses of Purchase Requisitions:

  • Opening and closing osk form java program on windows 8

    Hi
    I want to open Osk when ever I click on any text field in windows 8.
    I tried in below mentioned way to open and close but it is usefull. could some body help in opening and closing osk properly on windows 8
    Opening OSK:
    builder = new ProcessBuilder("cmd /c " + sysroot + " /System32/osk.exe");
    Closing Osk:
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /f /im osk.exe");

    Hello,
    It is odd that you are seeing a dialog saying it needs to be removed. Can you post a screenshot of that?
    If a particular update version is already installed, regardless of the build number in the case of EA builds, you will see a message saying that it is already installed, you can then continue or cancel.
    Why is it that you were trying to reinstall? As you called out the 64bit OS it may be the case that a 64bit JRE was installed and the JRE is not working in the 32 browser. I mention this as this is a common case.  Really only IE has a 64bit browser for Windows, Chrome and Firefox are do not provide production 64bit browsers and thus the 64bit plugin will not run in those browsers. Windows 8 as a bit more of a hurdle as Java must be run on the desktop rather then the start screen and the 32bit browser, as I recall, is the default.  Java.com will not provide the 64bit JRE unless a 64bit browser is being used for just this reason. Here are a few links that cover this:
    https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
    You can obtain the 32bit JRE from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
    To complete the uninstall there are some steps you can try this first:

    Only if the above does not work... registry changes, be careful, back up the registry!

  • Ipod generation 1 apps opening and closing instantly with software version

    I have a Ipod Touch generation 1 and have just downloaded version 3.1.3 upgrading from 1.1.5. I am now having a problem with all the apps that I have downloaded from the App store through the IPOD. The apps are opening and closing instantly.
    Any comments?
    Thank you for any advise and or help!

    By a reset, I believe he is referring to holding down the Home button and the Sleep button both at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen. Ignore the "slide to power off" option that might come up. This process generally takes about 5-15 seconds to see the logo, then about another minute or so after that for the reset to complete.
    Now, as for the issue you are seeing, if the reset doesn't resolve it, it might be the same thing I have seen on other iPods. Almost all (if not all) I have seen with this problem have been when the owner unplugged the iPod from their computer before the sync process had fully completed. This seems to leave the iPod app directory structure in some "confused state". Every time I have seen this happen, I have been able to resolve the issue by deleting an app from the device, then re-downloading it using the App Store app on the iPod (while connected to a wifi network). To play it safe, I generally use a free app.
    Don't ask me why, but the downloading of an app directly from the device itself seems to reset the iPod app structure and the other apps generally resume wirking properly...

  • Opening and Closing SubVIs

    I am an electrical engineering student who has been assigned a project
    with LabView. All that I have learned with LabView has been
    self-taught (slowly and painfully I should add). I would like to open
    a subVI front-panel that I have created, and then close the subVI so
    that I may return to my original front panel, or move onto a next
    subVI. (The operation would be similar to any Windows base program
    were panels are opened and closed)
    I have tried various settings on the "SubVI node setup..." but have not
    had this work successfully. If anyone could offer any help, that would
    be GREATLY appreciated.

    Pardon me for jumping in on this thread -
    I found this discussion useful in performing the same task of showing a
    sub-VI front panel when it was called, but I have run into
    problems. 
    Within a while loop, the sub-VI is called when a boolean control is
    switched to true.  The sub-VI merely takes two clusters and
    displays them on a chart.   I arranged the properties of the
    sub-VI to show front panel when called and close front panel when
    finished.  I am assuming that it is finished when I go back to the
    main window and switch the boolean control back to false. 
    However, the window doesn't close when I switch this to false. 
    Occasionally, the sub-VI also flickers, which I assume is a result of
    the while loop around the case structure. 
    This sounds confusing, let me know if you want more than just a picture
    of the VI, or if a picture of the sub-VI in question would be useful.

  • Opening and closing 3rd party applications ??

    Does opening and closing 3rd party applications with the click of the home button actually close the application, or, does it continue running in the back ground ?
    I noticed most of the 3rd party application don't have a close/exit option, and wonder if opening and closing several applications with the home button can cause the many crashes I have read from fellow iPhone owners ?

    Clicking the Home button may close the application depending on the application itself. Some applications that use the network may close when going to the Home screen. To force quit any application, hold the Home button down for about 6 seconds until the Home screen comes up.
