I don't know if the upgrade matters, but after 10.6.7 upgrade - safari windows jitters / (like screen refresh) - often when I save a page in safari

Windows flickering on my MBP

windows on my screen flicker at random times for 1-2 seconds. any one know why?

I have the same problem. Safari is the main culprit it seems as I get alot of flickering and tearing as I scroll up and down a page. Actually this happens alot in finder too, in list mode.
I've got 10.5.3 and all the updates and it still happens. Most people seem to think that this is a driver problem and I tend to agree, since the quartz is a compositing engine that is supposed to keep that kind of thing from happening..

Flickering Issue with RGB Curves in Adobe Premiere CC (2014) version

I've been an Adobe Premiere user since Premiere 6.5 and have never encountered any serious issues with the software. However in this most recent Creative Cloud update I am have a flickering issue when using RGB Curves, the color correction effect I use most often. When the effect is applied, there seems to be a shift in the shadows between a "crushed" black and a "flat, or faded" black every other frame. I've been using this latest update for about a week and haven't had any other issues aside from this one.
Unfortunately this is huge issue at the moment due to a deadline I am facing in which RGB Curves has been used as the primary color correction tool on the entire project (multiple episodes). I would simply revert to a previous version of CC but I know that the new updates are never backwards compatible. Since the project has been saved in the CC (2014) update, reverting to previous software versions would be impossible. I am currently exploring exporting the XML from the CC (2014) projects and importing it into a previous version of the software.
Please let me know if anyone out there is experiencing any similar issues or if there are any suggestions on how to solve this issue. Thanks!

I am experiencing flickering issues as well. However my issues are with the Fast Color Corrector and the Three Way Color Corrector. It seems as if the color correction tools are causing intermittent flickering on some people's systems.
Additionally when I converted some old PPCC 7.2.2 projects which had the Three Way Color Corrector applied, some clips in sequences would come up as a green screen in the program monitor. If I turned the TWCC off the footage would display correctly in the program window. If I turn the TWCC back on it would display the green screen again.
I haven't found a solution to the flickering but to solve the green screen issue I have to remove the effect, then re apply it. I guess for whatever reason, the 2014 version of PP has issues with 7.2.2 projects where the TWCC was applied.
I'm hoping Adobe will address this soon with an update for the various bugs that have been reported.

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

Nishant,
Sorry for the late reply. You may well have resolved this by now, if you have can I suggest that you update the post with the resolution so others may benefit.
Looking at the logs, I can see that Jabber is trying to login to the IMP server below, but its returning server unreachable error.

TS3232 I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have screen flickering issues

I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have massive screen flickering issues on a Mac Mini 2012.
I am using a Dell 30" monitor (it's the Samsung screen just rebranded) connected to a WD 4TB Thunderbolt drive connected to the Mac Mini.
The screen is usable for the most part when I've just started the computer (although today I started having issues after a fresh restart) but if even just the screen goes to sleep, or the computer goes to sleep and I wake it later, I start to have massive flickering to black and occasionally to snow.
The effect seems to be more likely to arise when I'm on heavy graphics-intensive websites or programs (eg, Tumblr feed with lots of GIF images or working in Adobe Premiere), but once it starts shutting down those programs has no effect, the screen keeps flickering wildly.
The problem improved after the 1.03 firmware upgrade (for a while it was flickering uncontrollably ALL the time and was virtually unusable) but it has not gone away.
Any suggestions would be very welcome, either for how to fix this issue or how to get Apple to, you know, let me TELL THEM that their adapter firmware fix has NOT solved the issue, since my phone support has expired. :/

I have a new Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to allow my original Apple 30" Cinema Display to connect to the new Mac Pro. Shipped straight from Apple, it is firmware version 1.03. I've never had flickering issues, but the display will often go black (possibly after a screen power save) and not come back. when this happens I am still able to connect to and use the Mac via remote connection. But the only way to get the screen back is either to unplug the adapter and plug it back in to the Mac, or to shut down and power up the Mac. This may be a separate issue, so I'll also post it standalone...

I can't eject ("files in use by another application") Windows/Vista Issue?

OK... so in the grand scheme of things, this really is NOT the end of the world... but it sure is super-annoying!! This is my first every Apple product (took a while to get on the bandwagon) and I was hoping for more stability and ease of use... I've called AppleCare several times and they can't help me figure this out... according to them it's a Windows/Vista issue (which DOES seem likely). I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Dimension E521.
Here's how it goes... I plug my iPod in, which opens up iTunes and it syncs fine. I wait until the top of iTunes says "sync complete" and the face of the iPod simply says "Connected". Then I click on the "eject" button next to the iPod listing in iTunes. It pauses for a moment, then I look down and the iPod suddenly has those syncing, circular arrows, moving again and it says "Synchronizing- do not disconnect". And then a few moments later, iTunes gives me a pop-up that says " XXXX ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application"
So obviously, something else is connecting to the iPod and preventing me from ejecting it using iTunes, but I have not been able to figure out what it is!
Since it's something on my machine, I have tried the following:
- shut down AntiVirus (TrendMicro Internet Security 2008)
- turned off Windows Firewall
- went through all the programs running in the task bar and turned them off
- opened up Task Manager and turned EVERYTHING else I could see off
None of the above have made any difference. The workaround that Apple gave me was to go into Computer and then right click on the listed drive and select "Safely Remove" which usually works (the times it doesn't work, it gives a similar message saying the device was being used by another application and can't be removed, try again later). But 90% of the time it works.
I use that or the Eject option when I right click on that drive (not sure the difference, they seem to do the same thing). The workaround works, but I'd sure LOVE to get iTunes to be able to eject my iPod!!
Here's what I've done regarding this iPod and iTunes:
- reset the iPod
- restored the iPod
- uninstalled and re-installed iTunes
- selected and unselected the various things I'm syncing (currently: Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Photos) to see if it was one of them causing the issue
NONE of the above has made any difference (and I've done each about 2-3 times, ZERO exaggeration).
I've called into AppleCare about half a dozen times now, hoping to get that one brilliant tech that knows more than the others... but no luck yet... so I thought I'd try this forum to see if one of the brilliant posters here can help me sort this out.
PLEASE- ANY help you can provide (or even just point me in the "right" direction of how to determine this) would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks so much in advance,
SC

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

We have a 10 person office - all either use Acrobat XI or Reader XI. One person is on Windows 7. The rest are on Windows 8 (not 8.1). I say this because I thought it was a Windows 8 issue, but having the same problems on the Windows 7 machine. We are all having problems opening pdf's sent to us from other firms. This has increased in frequency over the past two months. We've checked with the various firms, and their other clients are not having problems. Some pdfs open but with a lot of missing content and strange formatting, others won't open at all. There are different error messaged depending upon the doc. Some are regarding the fonts, for example "can't extract the embedded font...." Others are "insufficient data" errors. There are more, but for purposes of keeping this short, I won't include them. Another unrelated issue is that we are having trouble printing excel files to pdf. The files end up with bad formatting. I've worked with adobe "chat" support, our IT consultants with no resolution. I also haven't found any similar "known issue" online Would very much appreciate any assistance. Thank you

The font embedding can be a problem if not done and you are trying to view the PDF and do not have the font on your machine. Acrobat will often try to find a replacement, but it is not always a good choice. Sometimes the "Use Local Fonts" button can be changed in state to resolve some of the viewing issues.
If you are trying to copy or export info, then it is important that you have the fonts on your system. Otherwise, the message you are getting about embedded fonts would not be showing up.
As for Excel formatting, be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is selected in the printer screen before you look for the paging and formatting of the file. In most OFFICE programs, if you change the printer the application will reflow the document to best match the printer (called "using printer metrics"). So check before you create the PDF that the layout is correct.

First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host.

Unable to install windows 8 on 2013 MBP

So I got windows 8.1 DVD for running windows on my MBP 2013 with OS mavericks 9.1. But I'm stuck with this screen. I don't even know why I can't click "Install or remove winodws 7 or later version" it's greyed out wheather windows 8.1 DVD is coonected or even with iso version of it. I know it needs to be checked to get windows 8.
I called apple customer service but they didnt help me saying windows 8.1 is not supported.. I see many people running windows 8.1 on Mac without problem.
Please teach me how to slove this problem and install windows 8.1 on MBP 2013
I have two bootcamps in disk utility, i bet it's because I tried to bootcamp a few times and I cant seem to remove it. Should I delete them to get windows 8.1? I never did partition setting or something like that. I can't even reach that setting since that "insatll or remove windows 7 or later version" is greyed out in bootcamp assiatant. Please help!

with (DVD, no USB), it goes like this when I click continue. After putting the USB stick to Macbook Pro, its the same as I showed you picture last time, that state. Even without DVD.

Windows 8 Issues

So, I have purchased 'Windows 8 Pro' and am working to get it stable on my W520.
Specs:
- Lenovo W520 4270-CTO
- i7 2720qm
- Quadro 2000m
- 16gb G-Skill DDR3
- 120gb Intel 320 SSD
Usage:
- Systems Engineer using various development suites, virtualization technologies (directed i/o is a must), and other processor/ram intensive activities. I am looking to use Hyper-V and do some fairly heavy infrastructure simulations.
- Occasional games (usually DOTA, Skyrim, etc.) which run at high FPS with gfx settings near maxed (Starcraft 2 is an exception, which doesn't work at all... Stupid Blizzard...)
Windows 8 Issues:
- Cannot boot off install media with VT-d Virtualization Technology enabled. If I re-enable it post-install, sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't.
- Blue screens on sleep resume
- Crashes on various driver installs (random, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't), locks up on boot, then after physical restart, crashes on Automatic Repair before being able to start back up normally.
- After installing Hyper-V, system crashes, crashes on automatic repair, then is AOK...until it randomly crashes
What I've Tried:
- Switching between Integrated/Discrete/Optimus graphics doesn't seem to have made any difference.
- Disabling VT-d seems to have helped with issues booting, but alas, no big fixes
- Updated BIOS to 1.38, and 1.39 - both made no difference, still at 1.39.
- Event log reports kernal power loss and various bugcheck errors but unable to find anything referencing the code provided, nor is there any surefire reported dll or driver which seems to be sticking out.
- I have attempted 3-4 installs from scratch without resolve.
Other then these issues, if its booted and doesn't crash, the o/s is quite peppy (faster then w7 by a fair degree) and the UltraNav touchpad works quite well with navigating Metro and various Charms.
Have a Mini Series 3 dock which works well (although it has its issues i'll post up elsewhere) and switches between docked and normal usage with ease.
I have since reverted back to Windows 7 until I can find something promising to work with as the lack of support resources is understandably limited at this point.
I cannot develop for Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 without upgrading or buying a new system. I've been quite happy with my W520 but this is just frustrating and would rather not move to another mftr if I don't have to.
My question:
>>> Has anyone successfully installed and run Windows 8 Pro without issue?
>>> If so, can you please provide me with what releases/versions of the drivers you are running and what BIOS version you are running.
Any suggestions or sources would be immensely helpful in my quest to get W8 somewhat usable on this beast.
Thanks in advance!

BSOD on resume:
Happened to a W530 with Crucial m4 mSATA SSD. It turned out that it would happen if the drive is password-protected. After removing the password in BIOS Setup, there's no more BSOD on resume.
So, thusfar, no BSODs on resume. I still have to install the rest of the drivers but at this point, no BSOD since fresh install early this morning. I only have the single Intel 320 SSD in my SATA bay, no mSata drive as of yet. Additionally, I do not have a HDD password. I use the BIOS password w/ fingerprint authentication though.
Post-install, Windows had installed whatever drivers it felt were necessary. After that finished, I had installed Lenovo System Update and went through its update procedure. I elected to install all but:
- ThinkVantage Active Protection (I have SSD, not necessary)
- Audio Driver for Windows 832/864 (Sound works, reports as High Definition Audio Device - I am investigating option for Dolby driver as I had setup in Windows 7 as per W520 Sound Enhancement thread)
- Ricoh Media Card Reader Device (only used a handful of times in the past, will find some cards to test)
Outstanding issues:
- Device Manager reports two non-install devices (Base System Device and Unknown Device).
- Base System Device hardware ID is: NTPNP_PC <-- I don't know what this is, any ideas?
- Unknown Device hardware ID is: ACPI/LEN <-- I assume intel chipset since I had already installed Power Management driver via System Update?
- Update other Windows standard drivers to Lenovo Windows 8 releases
- Update NVidia Drivers to latest release/verde (maybe depending on video performance)
- Setup Fingerprint software in Windows 8 to match that of the BIOS as right now, no fingerprint auth in Win8
- Install Development software, Hyper-v once I have everything else settled
- Anything else I'm forgetting?
Without jumping the gun, it seems as installing using UEFI fixed a few critical reliability problems (VT-d, boot, etc.). Try that if you're having severe stability issues.

Unable to Resolve Windows Update Issue in Windows 8.1

Hello,
I recently, as far back as 1 month ago, began experiencing issues with the update service under the Windows 8.1 OS platform.
I found that I was having to repeatedly run the Windows Update Troubleshooting Tool. This appeared to fix the issue with each run of the tool, but eventually I'd have the same problem receiving updates again. My problem is as follows:
1. Windows Update service hangs during register analysis.
2. Unable to reset (stop or restart) wuauserv.
3. Unable to reset (stop or restart) Cryptserv.
4. Unable to reset (stop or restart) BITS.
5. Unit recently, was unable to connect to internet from Desktop GUI, but was able to connect using Metro GUI.
I'm not sure is there was a recent update that caused this issue, but I can no longer download updates for my system, nor can I successfully run the Windows Update Fixit tool.

Hi,
Let's confirm these situations:
Now your desktop Internet Explorer can't connect Internet.
You receiving the same updates again and again.
If I am right, please check that update's installation status from update history.
Then refer to this article to troubleshoot:

A solution that works for Windows 8.1 on MBP Late 2013

Here is how I could successfully install Windows 8.1 on Mbp Late 2013 running Maverick:
Follow precisely these steps and you will be done in 30 minutes:
1/ Using BootCamp Assistant, create a USB stick and select all three options including Bootcamp updates, etc.
2/ Set your partition size when asked.
3/ IMPORTANT: When reboot, Hold the Option key and Boot again on Maverick (do not boot on the USB stick)
4/ When back on Maverick, run Disk Utility, select Macintoch partition and choose Partition tab.
5/ Select the BOOTCAMP newly created partition (the one at the bottom) and press minus to remove it.
6/ Apply for changes. At this point, BOOTCAMP partition should be gone.
7/ Press + to add a new partition that will likely be called Machintoch HD2 or so.
8/ Rename it to BOOTCAMP
9/ IMPORTANT: Change the partition type to ExFAT.
10/ Apply again for changes.
11/ Reboot your Mac and Press Option again. Select WINDOWS (Orange USB device)
12/ Windows installation process should start and bring you to the partition selection.
13/ Select the BOOTCAMP partition (the one at the bottom) and FORMAT it.
14/ Press Next and get going through Windows 8.1 installation.
15/ IMPORTANT: Each time a reboot occurs, press Option key and select WINDOWS Drive (NOT the ORANGE USB stick)
16/ Finally, Windows 8.1 will get installed and will ask for BOOTCAMP drivers to get installed. Just follow the instructions.
17/ You are done.
P.

Ohhhh, Silly, silly moi. Ok, got it. Now I see "Partition". Thanks! Will try again. Downloading Windows support software as I type.
Thank you.
One more thing - while attempting installation the first time (before I stumbled on this thread) - I looked up YouTube re how to create a USB bootable ISO (which included editing the info.plist file in Boot Camp Assistant).
When I tried installing 8.1 from the ISO, the installation aborted saying "cannot find resources" (something like that) - this occured after the first stage, i.e. while "preparing files to install Windows".
Assuming I get this again (I hope not!), is it because of a corrupted ISO?

How do I create a bootable USB Drive to install Windows 7 on a MBP Retina

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a MBP Retina.(I'm running Mountain Lion) I followed BootCamp's directions to create a bootable copy of Windows on a USB Flash Drive. When I go to install, Boot Camp creates the partition, but I get a Windows black screen that says that "there is no bootable drive - hit any key". I have to force shut down, because hitting any key does nothing. I tried the Bootcamp directions at least 3 times, but have been unable to get the USB Drive to start up the Install program. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Joe

Disconnect all external drives. Only have the the USB flash drive connected.

On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it a windows 8 issue?

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.
