Sound like a graphics card or logic board failure. I'd recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode at least 2-3 times. If you get errors as I suspect you will then that has confirmed a hardware issue. You will then need to take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for repair.

    1. Do you have a word processing app on there? Like Word, or NeoOffice?
    Close all your browsers and do something that doesn't require much graphics. . .
    Write a test document, check the dictionary, maybe address book, open up your Font Book application.
    Does the blinking happen then?
    2. If everything is fine then, try another user account on your Mac.
    If you don't have one, establish one named "test."
    When logged into the test account, does the Safari/gaming screen flicker then?

  • What is going on with mobile me? All I get is the find iphone screen and I can't switch apps to read mail.

    What is going on with mobile me? All I get is the find iphone screen and I can't switch apps to read mail.

    MobileMe is working partially, Apple says some users can't access to the web-apps (Mail, Calendar, etc.). In my case is working fine in my iPhone, in Outlook 2010, and I can only access the Mail app (Calendar and other functions are not working!).
    Hope this gets fixed soon

  • What's going on with U-Verse in South Miami

    For the past two months, we have been getting dropped signals (bundled U-Verse and including landline, mobile phone, television and internet) sometimes three times a day. I have had phone calls drop while speaking to my boss, (I work from home) favourite shows will all of a sudden give us that no service screen, which means we lose portions of the dialogue, and the internet stops working. I have not dared to call ATT as frankly the only solution that Customer Service seems to know is "Oh it must be your RG that needs changing." Well that's a load of rubbish since if it's the RG then ATT have some serious problems as I have spoken to at least six people that I know that also have U-Verse and they are all having the same problem, but kept thinking it was just them. 
    The internet signal has also got painfully slow and since we pay a juicy bill of $315 dollars a month and subscribe to the best package that U-Verse has to offer, I do not expect to have these constant problems. Nobody is perfect, and a little issue once in a while is acceptable, but not two to three times day! In addition... we receive an electronic bill and this has been a very hectic month for me, so realising that today was the 12th and I know that the bill is usually due sometime around this time of the month, and not having received a bill, I went online to investigate. Sure enough - on login to the payment page, it said "past due!" Well send me a bill and I will pay it. I just don't know what is going on with U-Verse but it is very distressing. I believe the saying is that they have, "Gone to ** in a handbasket." On a positive note - we can now apparently fast forward and rewind On-Demand TV shows, and which made no sense before that this feature was unavailable. However... this does not make up for the recent poor service and non-arrival of my electronic monthly bill, ( will have to go back to paper - not cool) and then having the nerve to tell me "past due."
    [Per Guidelines:  Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].

    Chris, As explained, and to be honest I am usually very long-winded and detailed in my explanations because readers miss things, as you might have done in this case. It is not my problem alone. Whenever we have a problem with any utility or especially in the case of ATT services, I always check with anyone that I know that uses the service and over a broad area, not just in my street but anyone I know in an approximate 8 - 10 mile area, to see if our issues are isolated just to us. If they are, then I know that it is most likely a piece of equipment we are using. In this situation, as there have been in others, every single person that I spoke to is experiencing the same situation. And again - this is why I said that I have thrown up my hands in exasperation and usually get another family member to call customer service if there is a problem, as I know exactly what they are going to tell me. "Let us check your line - (you then spend 45 minutes on the phone with them) No... everything seems fine, it must be your RG, you need to buy a new one." Mea culpa - I have no patience or time for scripted c.s. reps.  Two years ago, we had a lightening strike that literally struck the ATT box next door. The wires in all the boxes on the street (including the ones in our yard) were fused and black when the box was opened. And yet... when one of my neighbours (who apparently did not connect the lightening strike with the loss of service - sigh... what can I say...) called ATT, they got the same response. "No, we don't see any problems here, it must be your RG." Com'n! It was a lightening strike!  And on an aside - the new cable is now still hanging from my backyard fence as they were supposed to come back to bury it. Two years ago... So the dear space-cadet neighbours, paid for a new RG, hooked it up to find there was no reception (ya think?) and to then find out that theirs was just fine, and now there was the hassle of having to package the new one and take it to the UPS store to ship it back, and which is another frustration, because it is not possible to return it to a local store or office. Unlike yours truly, they apparently did not do their research with other users, even though we had no service for over a week.  So - by a process of survey and elimination, it cannot be the RG, unless everyone I spoke with is using the same RG. But there have been quite a few changes that we have noticed recently, ranging from new look menus, to those very beautiful images when first turning on the TV. So is it not entirely possible that in all the changes and tweaking, something else has been affected? Look it happens - but I can never understand why they can't just say,"Sorry, we are working on "upgrades" so we apologise but you might experience these little set-backs for a while until we are through." Why always blame it on the RG? Another way to make more money?   

  • What's going on with my USB drive?

    I have a WD MyBook 2tb drive, one of several on my Mac Mini running Mountain Lion, and a few days ago that drive started making scritchy-scratchy sounds like it was being worked really hard when nothing at all was accessing it. That the drive access light isn`t flashing while this is going on is all the more puzzling.
    So it has to be the OS doing something on it I would think, and doing a lot of it for some reason or another, but I have no clue how to find out what, or why. Okay, so the disk could be failing, and I`ve got it all backed up so if it goes I just go buy another disk, but this disk is less than a year old, and I have a WD 500gb disk that`s nearly 7 years old and it`s still going strong. Then too, I`ve run Disk Utility on it several times and it give the drive a clean bill of health, so WHAT????
    I`ve tried using Terminal to find out what`s going on with that disk, but being a total idiot when it comes to Unix I`ve little idea how to look at that particular disk, and try as I might I cannot find anything online anywhere that tells me how.
    So far I`ve tried iosnoop, which gets me a lot of seemingly bad messages that scroll endlessly up the screen saying things like:
    dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 4 (ID 1031: io:mach_kernel:buf_strategy:start): invalid user access in action #3 at DIF offset 0
    and this launchd stuff:
    launchd ??/<unknown (NULL v_parent)>/<unknown (NULL v_name)>
    This stuff just goes on and on and on and on... forever and never stops.
    What does it all mean???? Is the drive dying on me? What if I reformat it? Would this stuff stop?

    Is this a one-time occurence, or is it continuous?
    Does the drive have a separate power source or is it bus powered by the Mini?

  • Is there a program that occasionally sends pics of who's using my computer and what's going on in my screen to my email?

    I don't know what is going on with the White Balance (WB) and LR.  I had no problem before but recently LR started to change the  WB as  it is importing photos.  I checked the color scale for my photos and LR and both are with sRGB.  Now instead of LR changing the WB it is giving me a second copy with a new WB.  Your advise is very much needed and appreciated.  Thank you.

    Can you show us a screen capture of this 2nd copy with a new WB in your Lightroom grid? Thanks
    Are these second copy photos by any chance photos that had been previously imported?

  • My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone.  I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this?  I see others

    My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone.  I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this?  I see others have the same problem.

    Just got the same error message today.  My phone went to the black screen of death with the error message at the top.  Contacted Verizon via chat.  Was online for 1 hour and 15 minutes only to find out that nothing could be done which I could have told them based upon what I had read on this site.  Of course my phone is out of warranty since I have had it for 1 1/2 years and I am not eligible for an upgrade.  How convenient!  I was told to contact Nokia which I did and they gave me a download to try to reset everything.  It looked like it was working but after almost 3 hours it got to the end and nothing happened.  It just froze even though it said it was done.  I rebooted the phone and am back at the same black screen of death.  Guess I have to buy a used phone and then will have to reconsider whether or not to stay with Verizon going forward.  I have not had any issues with the phone in the past - keep it in an otter box, never dropped, never got wet, etc.  But all of a sudden it goes haywire like this that seems like either a hardware or software problem but something completely out of my control and all I get is sorry, you're out of warranty!

  • I don't know what is going on with my computer

    I have no words to explain what is going on with my computer. Its very hard to explain so here is a screenshot of the problem   

    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • 2011 Macbook Pro suddenly says no space available on start-up disk (plenty available) and USB drawing too much power (only charging phone). What's going on with my computer? No longer able to charge my iPhone 5.

    Hi, all.
    Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
    I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
    However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
    I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?

    Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.

    The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
    You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
    What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
    - connecting the iPad to your Mac
    - selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
    - selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
    You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there  then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
    By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
    And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
    I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

  • What's going on with iCloud 3/11/15?

    What's going on with iCloud on 3/11/15? I can't sign in & asked over & over to log in. I need to get into iCloud pages to create a document. Same issues with iTunes.

    iCloud appears to be mostly up now, but there's still some issues as reported storage is wrong and attempting to change storage plans results in an error.  icloud.com is saying I have no documents or Photos stored, despite the fact there is stuff stored in iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos, both of which are currently working.
    I tried calling support, but they couldn't help me without a PIN that you need to get from appleid.apple.com and trying to sign into that site results in an errors, so there are major problems today.

  • Why does apple make it so difficult to understand what is going on with my one to one?

    Does anyone have any answers for this? I don't even know where to list it here as a question.
    Just spent over 2 hours, off and on, trying to get someone at apple to help figure out what's going on with my one to one. They give a number for help but there's no one there - only more gibberish about go here go there go all over the place on their site.... So called 'customer service' doesn't understand my question? Another place it says call the store, well that was another waste of time....
    If I get a message saying my one to one is expired and then I pay for it via paypal, wait for the activation email. I sure don't want to pay for something I already have - that was my grocery money for 2 weeks.
    When I click on that link it says:
    Activation error
    This membership cannot be activated because this Apple ID is already associated with a One to One membership.

  • What's going on with my fonts?

    Does anyone know what is going on with my fonts?!?! When italicised text is shown in Safari (seemingly coded with [em] tags), it gives the following:
    !http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/tony_barnes/Picture2.png!
    and when I tried to look at the user manual for my new LaCie, this pile of gibberish popped up:
    !http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/tony_barnes/Picture3.png!
    Any ideas?
    I've got boatloads of fonts installed (1500+) and haven't managed to match it to one, nor can I seem to find any settings that may be of help for sorting it out.
    Cheers,

    From all the other posts on the forum about deleting Time Phonetic, it doesnt exsist on my mac. So wondering if i am gettng same problem with a different font.
    Your problem is different and more difficult, since your Latin is not being replaced by junk characters. I think sometimes it is caused by bad font caches and sometimes by duplicated Latin system fonts. For one possible fix you can check out this:
