The screen flickers in OSX and when my computer is booting. Help?

The screen is flickering is most notably in the top left hand corner. This problem doesn't persist when I boot into the Windows 7 bootcamp partition. I am using a Winter 2011 MacBook Pro with a 15" Hi-Res Glossy Display. Any ideas as to why this is happening and/or how to fix it? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Your computer and iPhone 4 are two seperate elements really using different connections.
i.e your computer will probably use your router to connect to the internet where as your iphone uses your mobile phone carrier to send and receive texts and calls.
So its pretty difficult to judge how they can effect each other. You try resetting your router, but ive never heard of anything like this happening before...

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.

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.

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.]

Acer S7 screen flickers during videos and when using Microsoft Office Screen is white

Had my Acer S7-392 for about 9 months and it has a problem that i've not been able to resolve. - When on some websites or watching video's (embedded into the website like on Facebook) the picture flickers and is unwatchable. If you scroll so that a little of the video is offscreen the problem stops.- Also when using microsoft office programs the screen just goes white and I can't do anything without closing the programs via task manager. I've made sure I have all the right drivers. Intel sends me to the Acer website for the drivers and I have the most up to date of those. I have phoned microsoft and they say that it is not them and even when remote accessing the machine they cannot see a problem. I'm sure its a graphics problem as other than these two irritating issues the machine works fine. Many thanks in advance for anyones help.

Hi, I don't own an external monitor. I can take the laptop to work and use one there. If I do that and the same problem happens what does that mean? If the problem is not repeated on the monitor what does that also mean? If I can't use a monitor what else can I do? Thanks. Tom

I dropped my iPhone 5 and the screen is completely black and when i plug it into my computer it constantly beeps. When I call it it doesn't go straight to voicemail but my phone doesn't ring. Rebooting it doesn't work. What is the problem?

My screen has been cracked for a while now and today I dropped it and parts of the screen on top came off and the phone went completely black. I tried calling it and it rings as usual on the line but my iphone doesn't make any sound. I just plugged in my phone to my macbook and i am still able to import pictures and send imessages but while it's plugged in my phone constantly beeps..the same beeping as it does when its on the charger but it's just one beep every couple seconds. People have been telling me it could be the LCD..any thoughts?

Ask Verizon.
If you don't know whether you have AppleCare+, you can find out warranty information by entering the serial number at http://selfsolve.apple.com. The serial number can be found under Settings > General > About > Serial Number, if you are still able to use the phone. If not, eject the SIM card tray from the right side of the phone using a paper clip or SIM unlock tool. It is in very tiny print on the rim of the tray.
You cannot purchase AppleCare+ if it's been after 30 days or the phone has already been damaged like yours.

I was using my iPad and then I locked it and now the screen wont light up and when I plug it into iTunes it doesn't show up under devices

I was using my iPad one morning looking at ebay, and then I locked it and came back and when I clicked the home button nothing happend. When I clicked the lock button nothing happened, when I plugged it into iTunes nothing happened and it didn't show uunder "Devices" on to side. Please help me I don't know how to fix this and it's been two days since it happened.

I would then try and do a hard reset like Fernando recomends if that doesnt work you might need to try a DFU Restore.

All can see on my desktop is the screen saver, no folders and no icons/docks can anybody help?

all i can see on my desktop is the screen saver, no folders, icons / dock it happened after cleaning the laptop and may have pressed random things on the keyboard when wiping over them, any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi again,
The problem may be corrupted preferences. If it persists, use the Finder's Go dropdown menu at top of screen and select Go to folder. Input ~/Library/Preferences and move these files to the Trash.
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.desktop.plist
Restart the computer.

Well the screen on my Macbook has become well unusable and well the screen flickers then freezes and i cannot move the mouse unless i hold the screen i suspect something is loose in the screen which connects it to the hard drive and keyboard

i find this to be very annoying and i am suspecting i will have to take my Macie to get repaired i was just wondering is anyone else has any similar problems i find this very annoying and i am not all too sure how it has begun to happen due to the fact that i have NEVER dropped or done anything to harm my macie and well i do not understand why this is happening i mostly use my computer while sitting at a desk so i do not understand but oh well i am rambling on please if anyone has had a similar problem do share.

If your screen is flickering, you might have a hardware issue there. I would take Macie to the doctor and have her checked out.

Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

What does it mean when the screen flickers and flashes after 20min. of working fine? I have a Macbook Pro 17" screen and it's the late 2008 model

I am having trouble with a Mac book Pro 17 inch late 2008 Notebook.
When I turn it on and booted up it goes to desktop and everything is fine for about 20 minutes then after 20 minutes the screening starts rapidly flashing and flickering and everything on the screen locks up including the mouse becomes frozen.
What does it mean when this happens? Is it an issue with the monitor screen or is it some other internal hardware issue?

HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

My computer has been shutting off auto mystically and when I go to log in, the screen goes to lines and I can't turn it on

SORRY, the picture is just to illustrate and to better show the area where the time display is located, same place in the iPhone 3gs, to my knowledge, the location is the same, due to the OS on both phones.
Second, run the test to see if it works:
1st test: go to phone mode, select dial key pad, put the tip of your thumb in top of the time display ( the screen will not go black), try to dial.
2nd test: place a call, after starts ringing switch the display to dial pad, put the tip of your thumb on top of the time display, the screen will not go black, try to dial.
THE SCREEN WILL ONLY GO BLACK ( INACTIVE) IF YOU TOUCH A LARGER AREA TO THE TOP OF THE DISPLAY, IF THE THUMB ONLY TOUCHES THE TIME DISPLAY AND A LITTLE PART OF THE AREA WHERE THE NUMBERS APPEAR THE DIAL PAD DID NOT WORK EVEN WITH THE DISPLAY NOT GOING BLACK (INACTIVE).
I am also trying in my wife's iPhone 4 as I right this post and both phones behave the same way.
I found out what I stated above after running tests to see if the case was affecting the phones performance.
Due to the thickness of the case on the sensor area, it really did affect the way the sensor was supposed to work, after I cut that part on the case, the sensor started to work perfectly and the screen turns off during a call like it is supposed to do.
So before someone go nuts thinking that the phone is not working and that they have to take it to repair, try seeing if the case is not interfering with the phones performance.
