Tv gives a black screen every 10 sec

I connected mij Mac mini to my tv and it works great. Until I change something to the screensetting or play game with other screensettings. The start flickering. A black screen apears every 10 seconds and the says it lost connection. Does somebody know this problem and maybe how to solve it.

Which Mac Mini? > Finding your Mac OS X version and build information
How much RAM does it have? > Finding your Mac OS X version and build information
Have you upgraded RAM, if so which supplier and what are the spec's of the RAM used?
1. Shutdown and recheck all of your cables to ensure that all firmly plugged in.
2. Reset the SMC and PRAM.
SMC > Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM and NVRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
3. I mention RAM, because some Mac Mini's have graphic's chips that use the main memory and if the RAM is out of spec it can cause graphic's issues.

OS 10.4.8 update gives me black screen

Restarting my computer after the 10.4.8 update the gray apple screen appears then goes black and the computer doesn't go past that. It wouldn't even start up on the CD but after multiple tries it did and I repaired permissions but it didn't help. The computer won't get past the black screen.

My imac update did the same thing. I got a failed update message, I rebooted my machine I'm in a reboot cycle and can't start my machine.
I cannot boot from a CD. Booting in verbose mode gives me the following:

My lenovo g510 shows black screen every time I power it on but the power lights are on .

Every time I power on my laptop it shows black screen.but fan is running and power lights are on. After detaching and reattaching battery several times onece screen turns on and laptop then works smoothly.but after shutting it down again on next day same problem persists. I have already tried power drain out method.but on the next go same problems arises.what to do.

Hi Anish1,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with black screen in your Lenovo G510 laptop.
As you have mentioned that black screen when turned on, can you hear the windows login sound?
Remove the battery and connect only adapter and check for the issue also connect only battery and check for the issue.
Connect an external monitor and check if the display appears in the external monitor then its a issue with the LCD, if there is no display in the external monitor then it might be issue with the motherboard, hence suggest you to visit the nearest authorised service centre.
Click here for the service centre and select your region.
Best regards,

Refreshing to black screen every 3 seconds

refreshing to black screen with the power wheel every 3-5 seconds and won't boot down unless.
I reset and continue to hold down the home and up button. then it shuts down
It does boot up and I can log in but again every 3-5 seconds it goes the the power wheel black screen

- Try a reset.
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.
- Then connect to your computer and try to restore again. I would restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- If you can't restore and the iPod is acting the same. let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the above again.

When I try to put a PNG watermark that I made myself into a "Picture in Picture" it just gives a black screen instead of the watermark

My channel is partnered with TGN. And they gave me a watermark. When I put the TGN watermark in it's fine, but when i put my custom watermark in I get a black screen.
Please help me. I am using Imovie 9.0.8 Macbook pro OS X 10.8.3

In the iMovie menu item File > Project Properties for Initial Photo Placement choose Crop - NOT Fit in Frame or Ken Burns (iMovie's default setting is Ken Burns). The latter 2 options will convert the .png image to a .jpg image.
If you've already placed the png image into the timeline as a Picture in Picture, you will need to delete it then change the preference setting to Crop. Then you can insert the png image.

Snow Leopard Upgrade gives a black screen

I just tried to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard purchased from the Apple store. It shows the loading wheel then goes black. I can see the install screen if I hold a flashlight to the screen but I can't see the cursor so I have no way to click the continue button. I tried removing the Snow Leopard disc so I could at least return to the old OS but I can't reload Leopard because it goes to the black screen too.

Looks like another trip to the Monterey store is in order.

Black screen for 45 secs before boot

Every time I start my computer, either cold start or a reboot, it takes 15 seconds before I hear the chime, and then it takes another 45 seconds before the grey screen with the Apple logo comes up. At about 43 seconds I hear the fan for my video card turn on. Once it's past that point, everything continues as normal.
I've only been noticing this for the last week. Perhaps that is because I just started using Boot Camp last week. Before that I only restarted for software updates, but I'm pretty sure this problem is new.
Here is what I've tried: repaired permissions on my boot drive; pulled each of my three hard drives from the tower, one at a time; reset PRAM; reset SMC; reinstalled factory memory.
None of these changed anything. Any ideas? I'm assuming it's a hardware problem since pulling the drives didn't change anything. Windows is on a different drive from the Mac OS, so I would think that if it was something with one of the drives, pulling them would have fixed the problem.

Have you tried running the apple hardware test, this should tell you if you have any issues with the actual hard drives themselves. Also diskwarrior to see if there's anything gone wrong with the OS.

Black Screen 20-30 sec. Random

Several searches, no answer found.
At random times (seems to me) but several times while getting ready to play iSpy children's game, the screen changes to black, all black lasting only a short time then returning to previous state.
At first I clicked away, ctrl/alt/esc and other ideas. Eventually, I got to the point where I waited. Seems to be about 20-30 seconds. I am wondering if I'm inadvertently doing this? This started about 2 weeks ago and only happened occasionally. Now, it's happened enough for me to know that it is an issue.
Last night, after a black out, the scree return to previous state but the picture was messed up. Not the pixels, but like parts of the screen were scooted to the left, little rectangles of parts of the screen were whited out. I realize that's not a very sophisticated explanation- maybe I can answer a question upon reply to clarify.
I don't think I have done anything different- downloads, upgrades, updates, etc.
I have several apps that diagnose and check for problems and have tried to find an issue with no luck.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Here are a couple of quick thoughts:
--The game might be resetting the screen resolution when it loads. Try having a look at the Preferences for the game after it's up and running and see if there are any options for adjusting how the game handles graphics.
--Create a new user account on your computer and try loading the game from the new account. If the problem goes away, you know the problem is caused by something related to your main user account (BTW it's a useful practice to maintain a unique user account just for troubleshooting purposes).
--If you use Time Machine, a feature of Leopard and Snow Leopard (one of your other posts mentions your machine is running 10.4 Tiger but the profile signature line on that post says you're running 10.5 Leopard), restore the game from a date when the game was running properly.
--Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

My iphone 6 shows a red or black screen every half an hour or so.

Its becoming a frustrating problem. Whenever it happens it shuts off. I have already reseted all settings and it continues to do this. Will Apple replace my iPhone 6?

Hello ipodred10,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you continue to have issues with intermittently seeing a colored screen just prior to your iPhone restarting by itself, you may want to try the troubleshooting outlined below for a somewhat similar issue:
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden

Why does my hd sony tv flash a white screen every 10 secs after I connect the Belkin mini display port cable from my mac laptop?

It only flashes white with particles on my tv the laptop is fine. Any ideas?
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro7,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo

Most likely one of the following:
Loose or bad connections
Bad cable(s) or plug adapter(s)
Faulty Belkin adapter
Which adapter are you using - miniDP to DVI or miniDP to VGA? If DVI, are you connecting to your TV via DVI or HDMI? Are you using any plug adapters in addition to the Belkin adapter (say, DVI-HDMI plug adapter vs. a DVI-HDMI cable)?
Did this work before? Is this a change in behavior?
Can you try connecting to some other external monitor or TV to test?

OMFG. i cannot believe my eyes.
do not remove it. first debug the problem, then report it to upstream bugtracker https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug. … uct=upower and then downgrade the upower package.
heck you can even ask upstream on the ml. http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/li … vkit-devel
after that i suggest to paste at least your bugreport number here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22586
howto downgrade: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade

Flash player gives a grey and black screen on my website

Hi Chris,
I tried the new flash player 11.7 beta now firefox gives a black screen and google chrome gives a grey screen instead of the flash page !!
I hope to hear something and how to handle to see my website world wide again !!
I hope on a answer very soon
Thank you
Fred from the Netherlands

Hi Fred,
Is this happening for all Flash content or just your website? Can you give us a link so we can take a look? Can you also please post back with your system's configuration report?
Windows Instructions
Mac Instructions
Please check to see if you are using the NPAPI version of the Flash Player plugin in Chrome. Let me know if you need instructions on how to do this. If you are, please try switching back to the PPAPI version to see if that corrects the problem.
I'm moving this post over to the Flash Player beta forum.
Thanks,
Chris
