Themes blacking out?

My themes are blacking out videos and images when i use them. i can see the theme but the image will not show in the image box on the playback. any answers

I’m having the same problem with the maps and the text titles. The text is appearing with black boxes around everything like the alpha channel is missing, this is happening on the TEXT TITLES and the MAPS in iMovie 11. I’ve tried deleting the program and reinstalling it, I’ve deleted the preferences but I still can’t get them to display correctly.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup

Page elements blacked out when inspecting them

When in the Firefox dev tools panel and inspecting the elements of an HTML webpage, the element my cursor hovers over gets blacked out.

It's annoying to have to open chrome each time I have to write a userstyle or something, especially when Firefox has much better developer tools otherwise. So I hope it isn't a "feature", but a bug on my side!
Anyone knows how to fix this, preferably without having to reset firefox?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Immediately on upgrading to 8, portions of my screen "black out" as I move my mouse over them. Links in particular are blacked out (that is to say the block of screen that the link is part of) when I move my mouse over them.

Also, scrolling functionality isn't working; when I try to scroll most of the time it is unresponsive and whether or not it responds to the scrolling the Entire page (everything below the tabs to the taskbar) has a better than even chance of blacking out. Tinkering with moving my mouse pointer or clicking in random places will get rid of these.
I've restarted the browser in Safe Mode, Reinstalled, Restarted computer, Drivers were updated incidentally on Friday (before this started), Full virus scan on Thursday morning. When I restart Firefox in Safe Mode the problems aren't as bad by an order of magnitude, but still bad enough to be unusable.
Firefox is essentially unusable for me at this point. Since I can't downgrade to 7, I'm very close to just washing my hands and switching to Chrome (which I dislike).

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Standard def STB repeatedly blacks out for a second or 2

A site search on "black out" does not turn up a similar issue, of course it may be my search skills are lacking.
New subsciber since Sep 2010. I have 3 boxes, 2 standard QIP2500 phase 3 (basement/MBR) and 1 hi-def (LR). Hi def TV in MBR, standard in other 2. Both standards would on occassion 'black out' for just a second or 2 ever since original install. No problem with the hi-def. One standard is wired with coax, one with s-video, the hi-def with HDMI. When the black out occurs, the screen will freeze for an instant, then the screen goes black, then it comes back. The information on the box does not black out, the TVs don't power-off and restart. It's just the screen goes blank and then comes back. It happens without any seeming warning, and will happen at any time of day. Sometimes it will happen repeatedly, sometimes it won't happen for a long time. Both boxes have been repeatedly reset and rebooted with no improvement. During one tech call the tech had me relocate one of the standard boxes to the hi-def location to isolate that it wasn't a location (in-house cable) problem. I thought it curious since it was happening at 2 different locations but went through the drill anyway. The relocated standard worked for a few minutes, then went black for a second as the problem does. Plugging the high-def back in resolved the issue at that location. The tech said he would send 2 new standard boxes. The replacement boxes have not resolved the issue. Any suggestions?

if it's doing that on two different boxes using both coax and s-video then I think that leaves a possibility of the coax. that would be a unusual symptom of a bad coax/splitter but try this.
Wait for it to start acting up - when it starts acting up, stay tuned to that station, and hit your menu > customer support > in home agent > network diagnostics and click ok to start.
check the video signal using that menu selection. after it's done running it will give you a general message like "you're video signals are not in the optimal range" after you see that, hit info and then look at the SNR DB it should give you a number.
32-36 is optimal, below that is questionable.
If it is below that then it's probably going to be a problem with the splitter at your house, and you would either replace it yourself, or call verizon to replace it. be sure to tell them the DB

27 inch thunderbolt display blacks out after Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2

Bought 2 new 27 inch TB displays for two different machines and after a couple of days the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 appears on my Mac Pro with one of the displays installed. So I install the firmware update. Now my display blacks out periodically and I keep getting Graphic Display Errors with a request to sent the errors to Apple. Running a 32 GB Mac Pro (late 2013 circular style) I have three monitors connected (two 20 inch cinema displays and the new 27 inch display). This machine is supposed to be able to handle three 4k monitors or 6 standard TB displays. I've seen the posts about the blacking out with this monitor but I didn't have any problems before the firmware update and now I've got them pretty regularly. I had the blacking out problem on an earlier monitor and took one of the monitors back and Apple gave me another one and this is the replacement. Same problem, but this one only started after the update. I'm hoping someone from Apple reads these messages and can let me know what's up.
BTW, I also have an older 27 inch Apple monitor that ran perfectly on this machine so I'm disappointed that I spent all this money and now get the blacking out issue.
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
Processor 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5
Memory 32 BG
Graphics AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB

I have my Thunderbolt display connected to my MacBook Pro and have been experiencing the same issue, getting worse over time. The folks at my local Apple store did not know what to do about it. So, I looked around and tried different thing.
The one thing that seems to be working is to System Preferences > Build-in Display > uncheck “Automatically adjust brightness.”
I hope this helps.

MacBook keeps blacking out for a few seconds

I have a weird new problem. It started blacking out (I thought it had switched itself off but it hasn't, it comes right back as it was after a few seconds) around every half hour or so. But now, just a few days after the problem began, it is blacking out every few minutes. Luckily it comes right back on and I don't lose anything, but it is annoying and certainly not right! Any ideas what this could be related to and how to fix it?

It sounds like it is either the inverter cable or the inverter board. Probably the latter. You can find repair guides, parts, and tools on ifixit.com. If your computer is under warranty, take it to an Apple store and have them fix it.

Random laptop screen Black out / Turn off .

Hi,
first of all my laptop is : HP Pavilion dv6-6160se Entertainment Notebook
to the problem now
A few days ago my laptops screen started out of a sudden shutting down/turning black( no lights at all ). This was happening while using the laptop at random. The screen had no lights, and if i use a flashlight on it there is nothing. like its turned off completelly.
Before this happens. Ths behavior varies. Sometimes it flickers from my desktop to a black screen then back on and some times not. Most of the times screen changed to a radom color (green mostly) then becomes black/shuts down.
NOTE: The laptop keeps runing, i can hear the videos playing so it probably isnt a gpu chip or gpu issue , music and games.
I searched the web for all kind of reasons that this could happen and tried some of the fixes .
Here are everything i tried and all or the details i could accumulate in past coupe of days:
1. If the screen flickers , blacks out and then turns back on i get a message that gpu drivers have stopped working and recovered ( on both amd and intel ).
2. If the screen blacks out, on rare ocasions if you close the laptop lid and let the laptop go to sleep , when waking up screen works again ( noticable due to screen moving)
3. I tried installing 4 different drivers all with clear install. ( didn't work)
4. I tried to to recover system with restore point. ( didn't work)
5. I tried to lower the screen brightness. ( didn't work)
6. tried this trick:
Turn off laptop
Remove battery
Hold the power buttong for 30-45 seconds
Plug-in the charger ( dont put the battery in )
Turn on laptop and see if it works.
Very Noticable details:
7. Since on of the rare fixes requires to move the lid i tried shaking the screen a bit or pushing it slightly to different directions. This actually does the trick and turns the screen back on ( i am right now typing this after using this "trick"
So, with this one as a hint there are a couple of stuff i have in mind but i am not sure and need help since i am not a technician.
a) There is a loose LCD cable and when i type a little vibration moves it and ends up in a black screen.
b) I read that if you use a flashlight and you cant see your desktop it means its a bad inverter.
c) Can the inverter have a lose cabe instead of the lcd ?
That's all the feedback i could give you that i can recall now.
Currecntly the screen looks ok ( maybe its the certain angle it has after i moved it so i would aprecciate a fast reply before it goes black again
EDIT: Tried to play a game for a few mins and i got the black screen again. Closed the lid so the laptop goes in sleep mode then opened it and it worked. Just for the records.
EDIT#2: Just tried to play a game again. got the blackscreen, shaked the screen a bit and it worked but for the 1st time i get the message " Application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware" , Can it be that its the GPU after all or maybe drivers?
EDIT#3: Tried to play a game again and it seem to trigger the issue . ( i am currently running the laptop with only the intel drivers installed)
thanks in advance
Sincerely,
Ntas
P.S. Please feel free to ask me any question if you need more information, i am not a laptop expert but i know more than the average person

Hi @Ntas
I have read through your post and it seems there are a couple of possibilities, and I noted that you have already tried several of the things I would normally suggest.
I will however post some of those links anyway for you to review, it is always possible there may be something in one of them that may have been missed or may inspire an idea of the cause. Since you mentioned that sometimes just moving the screen will cause the problem or make it disappear, that does seem like either a loose connection or maybe something like pressure on a part of the display causing the issue. Of course that last part may just mean the display is on its last legs, but hopefully not.
First I will give you a link to the service manual, to help you check the connections. Just be careful to read the sections on precautions, to protect yourself and to prevent any other damage.This manual is also useful in that it lists all the compatible parts, so if the display is defective you could use this guide to help order a compatible replacement if you choose to do so.

External monitor blacks out

The external monitor I use with my MBP has stared blacking out - usually for about 30 seconds, sometimes more. Any ideas how I can fix it?

PS: another ridiculous thing: you buy a product that has a problem, and you need to pay to call the support service? Really not acceptable....

Q2: text boxes blacked out in preview

Using the Special Occasions template there are text boxes in two colours, a light blue and a light grey.
When I preview a book in pdf before buying or printing the light grey text boxes are all blacked out. Of course the easy solution is to delete them and do without them which I have done but they do add a little something to the template and I would keep them if I could.
Any ideas whether what I am seeing is normal? Does it happen for others? Is there anything that can fix it?

Hi again
Surely you realize that if you are doing what I suggested,
you will need to create a text caption and position it over the
previously empty fields. You may also want to ensure there is no
transition applied to them. And in addition to that, note that the
Text Entry Box may well be pausing the slide before the caption has
had a chance to display. So check your timings.
Cheers... Rick

Macbook screen blacking out

Hey! I have a 2008 macbook, and the screen keeps blacking out whenever I open it. Any suggestions or info on how much it is to get fixed?

I have a 2009 MacBook and have the same problem!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was cause I needed to replace the battery and that did but nothing resolved the blackouting issue. I called tec supprt and they walked me through a process to see if it was the hardware. this is what they had me try: turn off it. remove the battery. press the power button for 5 second. replace the battery. connect the charger to the laptop. have someone ready to turn it on, because right after press down at the same time ( option, command, the letter r and p ) at the same time. hold them down until you hear the start up chime twice.
My Mac turned on fine and i was soooo happy that it was back to normal. I even asked to speak to his supervisor and tell him how helpful the representive was..however....I walked away from it for about 15 mins...and BOOM....back to the same poop!!!!!! i was soooo mad!!!!! and the worse part is that I am taking online classes! and so I depend on this laptop like no other! I called back and basically they told me that it seems like the backlight is going out and quoted me at $400 to replace!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
It works ok when I turn it on and once I cn see the desktop with a flash light at an angle...cause its all dark....I turn up and down the brightness buttons.
If you find a solution let me know please!!!!

Slideshow Error: Some pictures on burnt disc 'black out'

Hi, This is a bit of a strange one.
I have authored a disc with a slideshow that previews fine in both DvDSP's simulation mode and also when opening the Video_TS folder in DvD Player.. (I am using the 'push' transition for each picture)..
When I burn the disc and play it back in a DvD player (hardware or on the Mac) some of the pictures (not all, but always the same ones i think) push in fine, then go black and then reappear in order to slide out again.
All the JPEGs were all exported from Aperture at the same time and all fine, nothing special or crazy about them - but some of them (arbitrarily it would seem) do this black out thing while others are fine.
The first burn it started about 8 slides in (out of about 20 total), so I changed the order.. second burn - nothing changed.. same ones played up and the others were fine.
Cant work out why it would do this.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have converted the slideshow into a track - and it seems to have stopped it but that doesn't leave me any the wiser for this or future projects.
Help appreciated.
Thanks

Portg Z30-A-1E1 - External monitor blacks out randomly

Very annoying problem - every now and then the monitor blacks out for 2 seconds and comes back.
Monitor is powered all the time.
HDMI cable changed twice and does not solve the problem.
Seems like a change of resolution or a reset - can the problem be in the graphic card? Otherwise maybe the HDMI port itself detecting strange stuff?
Please help I'm getting crazy as I work 90% of the time on external monitor.
Thanks
