XDCAM HD422 playback stutterings and blacks out

When I import XDCAM 422HD clips into my PC based Pr6.01 or 5.5 machine, they will play once on the timeline, and strangely, after that, they flash black or don't play at all. I don't have the problem with EX files (I know they are a different codec). But from what I have read, most editors can play the HD422 files in PPro without a hassle. Our Machine is pretty fast with raided SSDs and Geforce 570 GFX. Thought it could be memory maybe (running 12 Gig) Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Just an addendum to this post... PPro 6.01 won't recognise the MXF files at all... importer reports "generic error". However if a change the extension to mpg, they import OK. What the??

My secondary monitor flashes and blacks out after the 10.7 install. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have installed 10.7 and the secondary monitor flashes and blacks out. I downgraded back to 10.6 and the problem went away. I reinstalled 10.7 and the same problem happened again. The monitor blacks in and out especially when the pointer is placed in the dock area, but it still happens all the time. My secondary monitor is a ViewSonic 22 inch that is connected to a DVI to display adapter. Any solutions??
Thanks

Talked to AppleCare and it's most likely the fact that my MacBook has 3.0 USB ports and my non official charging cable can't support that. So yeah, I'll try a new cable, hopefully that's the fix.

Photoshop Creative Cloud flickers and blacks out

I posted this in the Creative Cloud forum, but was told to post it here.   I am sure it is only a Photoshop Creative Cloud problem.
I am using Photoshop Creative Cloud, on trial. I have been using Photoshop, desktop version, for 20 years. Never saw this problem on it.
PS CC flickers and blacks out. Many times, many different files, many different actions cause this.    Right now, I am editing a photo, and using the Magic Wand tool to select areas that I will remove from photo.   PS CC is flickering on my screen, on/off.    Sometimes it goes completely black.
I can see the menus, but the image itself is flickering on/off. Mostly off.
Thanks

Yes flecking is a common problem. If happen for many bugs. That is why I posted the search instead of trying to answer your question for you posted little information bout your problem. In the guidelines you will see
=============================
Supply pertinent information for quicker answers
The more information you supply about your situation, the better equipped other community members will be to answer. Consider including the following in your question:
Adobe product and version number
Operating system and version number
The full text of any error message(s)
What you were doing when the problem occurred
Screenshots of the problem
Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; amount of RAM; etc.
=================================================
Information like that help to identify if you have a known problem from what your using and help pinpoint where the problem may be .   Even if you have the latest OS it its updates. The latest video driver and the latest Photoshop update does not mean you will not have any software and hardware bugs. Just because there have be problem reported about flecking in Photoshop in all supported Platforms OS versions does not mean that there is a single common problem in Photoshop. All it means is that flickering is a common side effect caused by bugs.

My Mac Pro starts up when I turn on the power, BEFORE I switch it on with the button, why? Plus, my computer keeps freezing and blacking out.

My Mac Pro starts up when I turn on the power supply (when I plug it to the outlet), BEFORE I switch on the button on the computer, why is this happening? Plus, my computer keeps freezing and blacking out and I'm forced to restart it, that's when the compter starts on its own when I turn on the power.

Hello Engender,
I should have followed up with a progress report because I eventually eliminated all the problems I was having with my Mac Pro, now it's behaving like a new computer… beautifully. I did originally take Grant's advice above, changing the setting that I had in the System Preferences > Energy Saver but that only stopped from rebooting on its own when I shut down my Mac properly. Otherwise it continued to restart on its own after freezing or crushing when I switched on the power. I took my machine to the Apple Store and after many tests they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I was very depressed about the whole business.
It was after going onto many of the other Apple related websites that I discovered that it wasn't a faulty power switch or fan, as as I originally thought, but found out that my problem was related to the Graphic Card and possibly I did not have enough ram (I had the original amount of 2 GB). The original card that came with the computer: 512 MB ATI Radeon X1900 XT was over heating and forcing my machine to shut down, I think it was because I had upgraded to OSX Lion which on its own requires at least 2 GB of ram to operate well. I added 4 GB of Ram to the 2GB I had (4GB kit (2GBx2), Apple 240-pin FBDIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 upgrades for Apple Mac Pro (4-core) 1st Gen. - 2006-2007 Desktop/PC, CT579443 from Crucial.com about $160 for the set) and replaced the Graphic Card with ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB from Apple (around $260), (ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Mid 2010) - Apple Store (U.S.)) This card works very well with my original Mac Pro 2008. I installed it about two weeks ago and no problem with it starting on its own, over heating or freezing. OSX Lion works well and I'm thinking of upgrading to Mountain Lion once I learn that my Mac Pro 1.1 will work with the new hardware I installed.
Your problem could just be the power cord but I agree with you that doesn't sound right, when I mentioned faulty switch I meant the part where the power cord meets the power button, the unit which houses the power distribution, I thought at first that it could be faulty but changed my mind because of the computer overheating.
I don't know if this is of any help to you but I hope your trouble will be solved with the new cord.

Apple Screens of Death, Flickering, and Black-outs Galore

Should I downgrade to the older version? 2.0 seems to be filled with new problems.
Since I upgraded it, I've gotten the apple screen of death several times, including today. I can usually fix this problem by resetting it.
Today, it just blacked out. I couldn't get it to work. I tried syncing it and it seemed like it was syncing, but I still couldn't see anything on the iPhone. Not even the Apple logo.
I disconnected and reconnected it, and it attempted to upgrade its software (even though I'm on 2.0). Tried again, and it couldn't detect the iPhone anymore and said it needed to restore.
Still no screen. I did one final sync, and the screen showed up and it was working again.
At work today, I received an important business call. While speaking with a prospect, I had to look something up in Omnifocus on my iPhone. As soon as I clicked on the app icon, it gave me the Apple screen of death. I wasted about 10 minutes resetting it.
On 1.1.4, I had always had issues in the "voicemail" section where the screen would flicker on and off. I've got the same issue now; it's just work. I try to listen to my voicemail, and instead I have to wait for my screen to actually show up as it flickers on and off, with long periods of "off."
Then there's the battery life issue. I was only in work for 6.5 hours today, and it was fully charged when I arrived at work. I had 3 or 4 phone calls on my cell, lasting about 30-40 minutes altogether. That's pretty much all I did on it. Once it was time for me to leave work, I had under 20% of battery life left. That's pathetic.
What is Apple doing to address these problems? The MobileMe homepage still isn't up for most users yet.
Who else has these issues? Has anybody managed to solve them? If I need to restore, I will. I just don't want to do that if it won't fix it.

Do this.
Go to the Apple Support page and type in your serial number. When the screen comes up showing that Serial number having Applecare extended warranty take a screen shot of it or Print it out to a PDF file and then Print a Hard Copy of either of those things. Take that with you when you take your Mac in to be looked at.
Good Luck with the Lenovo. I hear they are the same quality as when IBM was making them. Personally I have always used Dell Business Class notebooks and have never had any problems with them. Still have one that is going on 11 years old and it still runs as good as the day I bought it, actually a little better because I've upgrade the CPU, GPU. RAM and HDD.

Satellite M45 s3553: Major problems with computer dumping disk and blacking out

My laptop just suddenly started freezing and turning itself off while I was using it. I haven't downloaded any programs or files on it in quiet some time so Im pretty sure that its not any new program causing the trouble. I just reformatted it and installed ONLY MSN messenger.
As I was chatting, a blue screen flashed and then it turned black with the DVD drive just clicking a few times every 5 seconds as thought it was searching for a disc. I am not able to turn it on and it doesn't respond at all.
Can anyone tell me what happened and what I need to do to fix the problem?
All help is greatly appreciated.

Hi
Well, very strange issue.
But you are not able to turn on the notebook or the CD/DVD drive?
If youre not able to turn on the notebook so you should try to remove the battery and to disconnect the AC adaptor from the notebook. Wait several times (> 15min) and then connect the battery and the AC adaptor. Then you can try to start the notebook again.
But if youre not able to enable the drive so you should check the device manager. Check if the drive appears in the list and remove it from the list.
Then after new notebook reboot the OS should recognize the drive again.
The automatically shut downs could be caused by overheating or software malfunction.
I dont know how old your notebook is but you should check if the CPU and all another devices are properly cooled. Check if the cooling modules run properly.
Sometimes dust and debris is a reason for such shut downs and therefore you could clean careful the fans.
But if you have no experience so you should ask a computer expert for a help.
PS: The vacuum cleaner is a simple tool for the fans cleaning

EMac screen shivers and blacks out. HELP!!!!

i bought my emac in november of 2002 and its had the "raster shift" for a few years. it is only a few digits away from the recalled numbers. it is out of warranty and genius bar said it was a logic board problem. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
eMac Mac OS X (10.2.x)

I brought it to the Applestore. They did the repair, and since it was under warranty, It didn't cost me anything, but they did give me an invoice which showed what it would have cost had I to pay for it.
Sorry it's been so long, I've been negligent in checking my posts.
Good Luck!

Screen freeze and black out

Hi
My screen keeps freezing and some times I get a back screen where I hae to restart, also there is a graficks problem I get a lot of pixalating . All this after uploading to 10.10. any advice?
Ta

Hey there George,
If I understand correctly you are seeing a couple graphical issues after upgrading to Yosemite. I would use these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

IOS 7.0.2 freezes,blacks out and becomes unresponsive on my iPhone 5. I have to use the home and power key reset function to recover it. Is there a fix?

I have had noting but trouble from the latest update. My phone has already froze and blacked out 8 times in the last day or two.

I restarted my phone as suggested and it is still happening.
My phone just blacks out at its own will as if the battery went dead then the apple logo appears and it restarts on it's own but my battery was still at 30% when it restarted. So that made no sense. When I try to type in my password it freezes up before I can get all of the characters in. I still hear the clicks of my tapping on the keyboard but nothing is changing on the screen. When I hit the enter button on accident it vibrated to tell me my password was incorrect but still the screen was frozen with my previous entry of the first 5 characters on the screen.
I am becoming concerned that I may have a very expensive paperweight now.
My husband has the same phone and his is working fine after the initial reboot.

How do I get rid of random screen flicker and black screen when using a late 2013 Mac Pro with a 4k Samsung 55" Display?

I have a new Mac Pro late 2013 and a 55" 4k Samsung display connected using an HDMI cable. For the most part the display is amazing, however, I get occasional screen flicker and black outs. Can anyone help? Could I possibly have a bad video card?

4K displays take more than half the bandwidth of a ThunderBolt Bus. So you may get better results if you are careful to place them on their own Bus. This article has the explanation of which port is using which Bus:

Reader 8.1.2 Blacks out wording.

Recently upgraded one of our terminal servers to Adobe Reader 8.
Since then when a user opens any pdf file it willl open in one of two ways.
First it will open in multicolored text.
Second it will open with all text Blacked out as if it was a government document being sensored.
I uninstalled all versions that were currently on that server then reinstalled version 8. This fixed the problem for a total of 5 minutes.
I uninstalled again reinstalled and it fixed the problem for almost an entire day then reverted to the above problems again. Then I uninstalled a third time and updated it to version 8.1.2 and this fixed the problem for a little over a week and has recently started the color and black out problem again.
Has anyone experienced this and if so found a way to fix this. Has never happened on any previous version.
Server is running Windows 2003 Server.
Thank you in advance for you help.

Johndes,
Beginning with OS X 10.5, some of us could not print a PDF from the Adobe Reader program. Our printers would be put on "pause" rather than printing the document.
The expectation was that when Acrobat Reader was upgraded to v. 8.1.2, that Adobe would have that anomaly fixed. The beginning of this thread starts at the point where v 8.1.2 was released, and it was recognized that there was no fix, and our printers would continue to pause rather than print.
You are correct that we could open and print PDFs from another program. I used PDFPen because Preview would also pause my printer. That doesn't change the fact that, for whatever reason, Adobe Reader was the only application which required this workaround to get a printed copy. And, that happened on every later version of OS X 10.5, including 10.5.1.
I resolved the problem with an ERASE AND INSTALL of Leopard. I don't know where the problem originated, but I can now print directly from Adobe Reader. To me, it was worth that effort.

My ipod 5th gen blacked out

My ipod 5th gen has blacked out and i know you have to press home button & lock button to reboot it but my home button is spoilt.
I couldnt connect it to itunes or my laptop and nothing was detected.
I tried recboot but failed because nothing was detected.
Leaving it to charge at the wall socket didnt help either because nothing lit up.
I have tried forcing my home button even if i know it is already spoilt, still to no avail.
I have tried to clean dirt off the button, didnt work.
Is my last resort going to an Apple store and spend perhaps hundreds of dollars just to fix this when i know i just need to press 2 buttons tgt
Furthermore, my warranty expired. That *****.. I am on the verge of breaking down because my ipod is literally my life. I use it more than my Samsung phone, gosh
Please assist me. Thank you.

So usually, repairing it will definitely solve the problems right? I am still a student and I really hope having it fixed one time will do the trick.
Also, should i just repair the home button and reboot myself? Or repair both the home button and blacked out screen (to save cost)?

Imported XDCAM footage "blacks out" on timeline and when exported, which will not do.

We're having a "horrendous problem" importing XDCAM. About half the clips "black out" while playing on the sequence timeline, although the associated sound files play fine. BTW the clips that black out always do so in the same place in the clip.
A first I thought the camera operator might have been covering the lens, but we can convert the MXF video to mp4 using Pavtube and video plays the entire length of the clip.
This problem happens in CS5, CS5.5, and CS6. It happens when we Import through using the Media Tool or the other way (whatever that's called).
When we EXPORT from the sequence the blackout occurs most of the time, although every once in a while the exported clip wll play in its entirety.
We have several hundred clips we need to use and the workaround is very cumbersome and time consuming, so we'd really like to solve the import problem so imported XDCAM clips work properly on the timeline.
To view the problem click below.
This encode plays the entire clip.
http://youtu.be/5ylb3ak1W5I
This encode made immediately after the one above blacks out
http://youtu.be/nlr7sV6kyQs
Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?

Well...
The problem has been solved in a way that indicates that the problem should never have occurred.
We finally were able to borrow a XDCAM disc reader and the people we borrowed it from also incidentally provided a bit of software called "XDCAM Transfer". THAT software solved the problem.
I have spent many many hours reading on the Sony website, the Adobe website, and any other website I could find (next to my desk I have a 6" stack of printouts that I've read) and nowhere did I see this piece of software mentioned.
Once that software was installed it imported everything, even the files we already had on the local HDD.
Thanks everyone for all the attempts.
