Scrollbars turns black and OS hangs for a second every half a minute

Hi,
For a few weeks I've been having this very annoying bug where suddenly all apps scrollbars turns black and the mouse/keyboard hangs for a few second then they reappears and mouse/keyboard are working again.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when scrollbars are going black:

At first it was doing it about 1 time every 5 minutes but now it has become literally unworkable as it hangs every 20-30 seconds.
I tried killing all the active processes (apps) to see if it would fix the problem but no luck it still hangs very often.
Any ideas or suggestions about that?
FYI: I'm using a multi-monitor setup just in case that could help figure out what's happening.
Thanks and have a nice day.

    2013 MBP 2.5 i5 4Gig 500MBHDD boots slow.  It finishes post in the same time as an identical MBP, and then hangs for 30 seconds on one of the ethernet adapters, before finishing the boot.  Once booted it is normal.   Turning off airport changes nothing.  Hardline adapter is not plugged in.  Thunderbolt adapter is not used.  Bluetooth is off.  Did this out of box.  Identical MBP boots to login screen in 36 seconds.  Disk repair, permission repair, and safe mode boot have
    already been done, no change.  Boot time is consistent.  Hangs at the same place each time.  Right after post.  Bad adapter?
    Comments, solutions please.

    ... and so ... now a few days later, success.   I ran
    your software but it told me nothing I hadn 't seen
    in verbose boot.
    Consistently, following good post, the boot hung
    for 30 seconds on the adapters, (cards, chips, NICs.
    Ethernet cards, whatever you prefer to call them)
    either the airport card or the hard line.  It would then
    proceed at normal pace to the login screen.
    Since it came out of the box that way, software
    conflict was not a go.  I guessed glitched driver or
    fetch instruction.  I zapped the PRAM (cleared
    NVRAM) and reloaded the OS, updates, Garage Band,
    iPhoto (one of Apple's true dogs in an otherwise
    rare arena) iMovie, Photoshop, Lightroom, their
    updates, and my files.   MBP pro now boots to login
    in 31 seconds.  Note I have turned off as much gee
    whiz, rubber band scroll, global swiping and other
    hubcaps and hood ornaments as befits how like
    things ... and turned off all the Asian and other fonts
    I will. ever use.
    Best guess ... corrupt driver or corrupt fetch script ...
    bad server squirt at factory load.
    Thanks for your help, Cheers!

  • The camera screen turning black and locking up.

    I see a lot of people having issues with the camera screen turning black and having to restart phone to fix it.  I have the 6 plus and the screen turns black and locks when taking a second picture on the txt screen.  I have replaced the phone and the new one does the same thing.  I went to the Verizon store and they just scratched their heads.  I have reset the old phone 3 times and restored from my back up which did not help.  I put my sim card in new phone and restored it and it had the same problem.  I thought my back up was the problem so I restored the new phone to new again without using my backup and it worked.  After a few hours of turning off and on every setting I use and many many many factory resets I found the problem.  Whenever the option for "speak screen" is turned on it causes the camera software to glitch and freeze after one picture is taken.  I have verified it on 3 different Iphone 6 Plus.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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.

  • MBP hangs for 30 seconds and I've tried everything

    I have been trying to fix my girlfriends laptop by going through the forums but I have reached a dead end.
    She said that one day, she put her mbp to sleep and when she took it out later, it was overheating and still awake, with iTunes open. Since then, the computer will hang for 30 seconds every minute or two, depending on how demanding you use the apps.
    During a hang, Activity Monitor shows no spikes in CPU, memory or Disk Usage, the mouse moves and becomes a beach ball if you click a bunch, and happens with any App, including Finder. When using Chrome, Mac asks if you would like to "kill the page" or "wait" which only shows for a few seconds before eveything returns to normal again (about 30s).
    Things I have tried:
    Sleep, Restart, Shutdown
    Disk / Permissions Repairs (Disk OK, Permissions show "harmless" things according to the forums)
    SMC/PRAM Resets, System Diagnostics
    Lion Clean Install, Mavericks Clean install, booting from Recovery HD and a USB
    Dusting the inside of the laptop, refitting RAM, physically detaching the battery
    After all this, the issue still exists. Booting from the Recovery HD and USB I still experienced the hangs, so that led me to believe that the issue can't be the hard drive. I also heard that CPUs have protective mechanisms to keep themselves, and if RAM or video cards fail you won't be able to see anything.
    If you have any ideas as to what could be the problem, please let me know. Thanks.

    I also wanted to mention the hangs would also occur during OSX installations, and processes such as booting, shutting down, Disk Repairs and Permissions Repairs or OSX Reinstallation took 10-20x longer than estimated by the process (for ex. if it says 3 hours remaining It could take 24 hours to complete)
    I will bring in the laptop soon to a Genius Bar, but I need to have the computer on me for the next week and don't want to pay a bunch of money to get it fixed just yet, since it's not covered by warranty.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
    Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

  • Colored Pictures Turning Black and White in Certain Files (PSE 9.0)

    Hey guys, how's it going?
    I'll try to keep this breif, but it may take a little while to explain. I've been getting a problem with PSE 9.0 where an image or layer that is in color suddenly turns black and white when I paste it into an open file. It's a lot easier to explain with pictures, so here you go.
    Figure 1
    Figure 2
    (Before anything else is said, I would like to point out the reasoning behind relating a middle-finger, a hammer and sickle, and a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic into a single image; it's a parody project I'm working on. It's about 30 times weirder out of context, trust me.)
    As you can see, the source imagery with "APPA JAK" on it (figure 1) is in full color, but when I pasted it onto the layer with the hammer and sickle, it turned black and white. This has become the same with a few other images I have found, but I couldn't find any reliable way to recreate the problem. The problem is also the same weather I find the pictures from the internet, copy those to my clipboard, and paste them or simply paste them from my computer.
    If you need any more information (dxdiag, settings, etc. etc.) feel free to ask, and thanks in advance for helping me!

    Just a guess because I don't have the original images to play with, but the hammer and sickle is a grayscale image so images posted into it become grayscale. 
    Use Image / Mode / RGB Color to change the target image to color before pasting anything into it.
    Alternatively, use File / New to create a new image that is full color and paste everything into it.

  • Screen turned black and makes some sort of an alarm sound

    Does anyone knows a solutions for this: my intel iMac was on all afternoon till suddenly the screen turns black and it starts making some sort of an alarm sound "tuut tuuut".

  • My iphone 4 went something wrong please help me, when i try to re start my i phone 4 the light didn't totally turned black. and when i took out my sim card i can see the light inside, what should i do to turned on back again

    Some please help me. I tried to re start my iphone 4, but it went something wrong. instead of it turned black and tunred on again. it like a gray color. When i took out my card i can see the light inside it. what should i do turned it back on again..

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • Some of the apps I downloaded have turned black and says waiting on the bottom

    Some of the apps I downloaded have turned black and says "waiting" on the bottom.  What is going on?

    The app downloads have stalled on you for some reason and they are in a waiting state and that is why you are seeing "waiting" under the icons. The apps are useless unless you can delete them and download them again, or complete the downloads.
    I have posted theses suggestions many times in the past, and some of these suggestions have worked for other users. Give them a try in the order in which they are typed.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes. If you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
