Timeline turns into screen hole FCP6

Everytime I drag items onto the timeline, if I click off of them...the object "disappears" from the timeline, and I'm able to see whatever is underneath the timeline, and interact with it, and CANT access that part of the timeline without closing and opening it again. It happens EVERY time I click off.
So for instance, I add a video file to the timeline...i click anywhere else, the block disappears, and i can see the desktop or a browser window underneath, and if i click in that timeline spot, the browser part will come to the front. Its like a hole in the timeline.
Any ideas why this might be?
thanks

To answer my own question, it was because I had Shapeshifter running. I realized this right after i posted, but it may help others.
Thanks for anyone who viewed this.

Timeline turns into a red box

When I add clips to, or move clips on, my timeline it (the timeline) turns into a red box. I am not referring to the render bar above the timeline; it looks as though someone stuck a red rectangle to my screen over where the timeline should be. I found another post concerning the same issue but all that was recommended was updating my graphics driver. I updated but the issue persists. I am running CS3 on OSX 10.7.5

>I want to know if there is a way to change it back without deleting it and redrawing it.
Select it and right click, then choose content and select unassigned. You'll have to delete any text you entered into it first. Content is also available from the Object menu.
It's not necessarily a sin to use the background frame as a text container, too. Just set appropriate frame insets for the text.
>Check Pre-Flight and it will show that a font is used.
As soon as you have an active insertion point (which you get when you create a text frame) you have used the current default font. It's applied to the end-of-paragraph marker for the empty paragraph. Most likely you are seeing that. When you select text and convert the text to outlines it becomes an inline graphic. Try selecting the frame instead of the text before converting.
But you shouldn't need to convert to outlines at all in a modern PDF workflow with properly embedded fonts.

iPad turned into blue screen then shut down how to fix I cannot play games..

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

You need to Restore the iPhone using iTunes. If you have a recent backup it will be restored at the end of Restore process.

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection turns into blue screen while installing disc #2

I purchased a windows version of Adobe in Sep this year.
I have tried more than 4 times, but still can't install the software.
My laptop turns into blue screen and restarts itself after the system tells me to insert second disc to continue the installation process.
I had the extact same version of Adobe installed on this computer before, but I can't seem to install the software again after recovered my computer.
computer spec:
Win7 Home Premium
Service Pack 1
i5-2410 @ 2.30GHz
64 bits
8GB RAM
500GB SATA
Thank you so much and appreciated if anyone or the actual Adobe tech can solve my problem.

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you for taking the time to read over and answer my question.
However, I don't think this is a driver issue. I actaully had the following softwares installed from the disc--- Adobe Audition CS5.5, Adobe Bridge CS5.1, Adobe Device Central CS5.5, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5.5, Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5, Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.6, Mocha for After Effects CS5.5, Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Adobe Acrobat Distiller X, Adobe Content Viewer, and Adobe Widget Browser.
Before the installation process started, I chose to install everything that's on the disc.
But I can't get the softwares that I really need such as photoshop, after effect, indesign, illustrator, and so on.
Again, thank you for your help,
Kevin

Screen turns into blue when i upgrade the software for iphone 5s

screen turns into blue when i upgrade the software for iphone 5s

There's way too much blue in that green screen
This is green
Try pulling down the spill level and reducing the spill tint. You're probably going to have to tweak the color selection manually.

Screen turns bright yellow & green curser turns into a large yellow square.

When I play any type of 3d game, such as world of warcraft my screen turns bright yellow and green. The mouse cursor turns into a large yellow square. Then it will make squiggly patterns across the screen in these colors, Almost like a argyle pattern. The only way to fix this is force quit the program (or if I can see the game still) I have to make it non-full screen. Iam thinking it might be a video card error, but iam not sure. Anyone experience this before?

Are you running your monitor at its native resolution? If changing the resolution of the game solves the problem as I take it from your sentence quoted here:
"The only way to fix this is force quit the program (or if I can see the game still) I have to make it non-full screen"
Then you probably should try changing the resolution of the screen before playing the game. Most games will do this automatically but if the ones you are playing do not then you may need to search for updates to them. Very few games are designed to run in wide screen mode, but generally in more traditional resolutions such as 640 x 480 or some other resolution with the same relationship between width and height.
This is my best guess anyway. Hope you get the problem solved.

Have a problem where I'll occasionally shift my computer (i.e. physically move it, say from the coffee table to my lap on the couch) and it will freeze and the screen will turn into a bunch of horizontal multicolored lines (closer to 100 lines than 5). Usually restarting (by holding the power button to turn it off) works. A few times that has resulted in the three beeps (RAM issue? -- I've since replaced my RAM [it *seemed* to stop it for a while, but maybe not]), but the second time it always works. Attempting to SSH into the computer during this state does not work. Please advise as to what to do/what reports I can run and post. I will take a pic next time it happens.

Sounds like a problem with your GPU. Do you have an external display you could connect your machine to in order to test this? If the external display renders the same way, then your GPU is damaged. If the external renders fine, then the CPU display is damaged.

Screen Turns into Red Blocks

When viewing a published .swf demonistration the screen turns
into red blocks about 20 minutes (100slides) in. This seems to be a
random occurance as sometimes I can get all the way through the
demonstration and sometimes not.
Has anyone else seen this before?
Might it have something to do with the size of the
demonstration and running out of memory?
Thanks for any help.

Hi there Kev_Stein
You can take your presentation and split it up. Just click
File > Save As and create several copies. Then pare away chunks
from each project. Then you Daisy Chain them together so that as
one ends, the next automatically begins.
I have a demo that may help.
Click here
to see the demo.

My iPad 3 screen all of a sudden turned into a negitive of a picture, black

My iPad 3 screen all of a sudden turned into black & white, almost like a photo negative...WHY? How do I change it back?

THANK YOU!!!!!!! :) I was panicking because this is my camera right now, I am in Haiti for 10 days and my phone (which was my camera) got stolen at OHare airport on my way here!!! THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU!!!!

The apple on the gray start-up screen turns into a circle with a slash.

My G5 has been pretty reliable for the past three (?) years. Lately it's been a bit squirrely booting up--once it went into kernel panic during boot, but powering down and restarting seemed to fix that. Lately, too, when I let the machine run and it goes to sleep I'll come back after a couple of hours to find the fan running at top speed and the machine unresponsive. Yesterday it seemed to have problems booting so I reset the PRAM and NVRAM and ran Onyx and it worked fine all day. This morning when I went to boot, I got the usual gray screen with the whirling gear. After about a minute, the apple in the center of the screen turned into a circle with a slash while the gear continued to whirl. How do I fix this?

I've subsequently tried a number of things. I reset the SMU, which didn't help until I also reset the PRAM. Computer booted normally. I rebooted from the Tiger DVD and repaired the start up disk; there were only two small errors to be fixed. The machine booted normally (and pretty quickly) for about a week before the problem resurfaced. I again went through the first two steps and got things working once more.
Lately the problem has returned. First, resetting the PRAM didn't help; only resetting the SMU worked. At the last event I needed to reset the PRAM without resetting the SMU. When I get home tonight I'll try booting from the DVD and repairing the permissions on the start up drive.
At first, I thought I'd leave it running all night, but when I got to the office in the morning the fans were running at full throttle and the machine was in a coma. All I could do was reboot--which it did, immediately going into kernel panic. I shut it down and rebooted, resetting the PRAM in the process. The computer booted and ran fine all day, although it seems slow (I did have Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom running simultaneously, but I do have 5 GB of RAM).
It's been suggested I may have a corrupt RAM chip (computer doesn't chirp at me, as I'm told it would) or, more terrifying, a processor is about to check out. I also have an ATTO SCSI card in this to run a legacy scanner. Could that be a problem?
Any advice?

my iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
Thanks!

My brand new iPhone 4 is quitting apps unexpectedly, turning into a black screen and then restoring to home page. Restarting procedures didn't correct problem. Shall I follow full resetting instructions?

Thanks for the straightforwardness roaminggnome - I wasn't sure if this problem qualified as deseving a reset. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't explain, your response remained undisclosed to me for a while, the next reply after yours took preference and I ended up doing as Meg St.Clair's susgested and initiated download, installation and syncing of Smartsync which is now taking ages to finish... If problem persists shall do the resetting and restoring.
