I have a strange problem. Sometimes when i watch youtube, vimeo, yeah basicly every video on the internet my Safari flashes with white boxes. This has happened with the newest stablebuild, and has now started to show up on my Safari4 Build: 5528.16 as well. Dose anyone know about this problem?
View 4 RepliesEvery now and then, i get these random flash of black near the top of the screen. Its like a quick split second blink. I never had this problem in regular leopard. I'm not sure if I have a faulty GPU but I think i might too cause when I'm on battery power 9400m, the graphic performance goes down.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI didn't find this in a forum search. Lately,the "quit' command in the File menu is greyed out and will not work in Safari (v 5.1.5). Likewise, the cmd-Q doesn't work either.I can Force-Quit, but that seems unreasonable. I can't duplicate the issue, so I don't know what I'm doing to trigger this. Anyone encounter similar behavior? Having posted, I now see several similar threads. The only suggestion I see is to delete the history and cache, and then reboot. I'll try that. However, if i just force-quit and re-open, the issue may not reoccur for hours or days. I regularly run Onyx and delete all of that as suggested, yet the issue seems to keep happening. I guess my question now: does the deletion really temporarily solve the issue, or is the issue random and doesn't usually repeat right away. Any thoughts on what's happening? Â

I got a new imac about three weeks ago, and I can't understand why safari randomly will display the wrong pages for the site i want to go. I'm on one site then after clicking on a line it will load up another page i may have visited before or at the same time in another tab. Example i'm trying to access a clothing store and its showing me an ebay error, i get random errors trying to go to youtube, i try going to wikipedia and it loads cragslist. Is it malware?
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason safari is acting weird. It will let me log onto gmail but as soon as i try to click an email it freezes up. Also when i click a link in vimeo it freezes up as well. I have to force quit and then re open the broswer. I use firefox to get around it but sometimes that acts up too. Do they need to release a new patch or something? I jsut want to know why did this start acting this way. All my software is up to date jsut to let you know and accessing safari on my ipad works jsut fine as well. I am using a imac to try to access my email and thats where the problems seem to be.

Quite a while back, I switched from Firefox back to Safari, because Firefox was driving me crazy with it's intermittent freezes and whatnot. Safari was so much faster and allowed tabbing to menu form fields (which I think Firefox still does not do). But lately, it seems like Safari just slogs through everything it tries to do. Google maps is painful. Loading up the CBS website earlier took over a minute, and not because of a slow connection.
The spinning beachball now appears on every click it seems. This is was Safari 3, so I updated to Safari 4 beta, and it doesn't seem much better. It's odd because it didn't used to be like this...It just sort of started out of nowhere. One thing I do notice is that my hard drive is just churning away with activity at these times. Any ideas what could cause such random slowdowns? Restarting does not help. It's just as slow afterward.

I am having problems with all of my browsers opening random websites. All was working fine until one day Safari simply refused to open a few random sites. I thought it was a provider glitch, but they said it's not and besides I have no trouble opening those same sites on my iPad and even from my Bootcamp Windows 7 system. I have no idea what is causing it, some sites simply won't open without any explanation. The browser just keeps loading and loading and loading, but no effect. To make matters even more confusing, it even won't load some images in the mail. The system is up to date.The problem is the same in Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox with same web pages. Â

However Safari is causing all kinds of hangs restarts kernal panics overheating with my machine and yet if I use google chrome for the exact same web sites these same problems are not present. I much prefer to be able to keep using safari and I realise that I haev not got the most up to date software since Lion is not supported on my machine but it is as up todate as snow leaopard allows.Â
I also realize that a more than 5 year old machine is doing very well especially since it is rarely off. It has outlasted 2 timecapsules and countless airport express but the anomyly between 2 browsers is weird. I doubt this has a solution but maybe the odd apple tech who read this might find it a challenge to know why one browser causes heart issues but another doesn't.

noticed over the last few weeks that when I log into this site the page flashes quickly 3 or 4 times , then I'm logged in, it does happen on other sites too, occasionally but not all the time , running a up to dat MB 10.5.7 with all available updates. Weird thing is it doesn't happen everytime, quite sporadic , I cant seem to replicate it just curious as to what this flashing is and why it's happening.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy wireless will work for random amounts of time then suddenly start flashing on and off. For awhile it won't recognize any networks then find them. I choose my network and again it flashes on and off.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt happened twice in a row about a week ago (and then stopped, so I figured I'd let it go), but it just happened again right now, so I'm figuring there's got to be something else going on. My only guess would be the battery... but I just had that replaced a few months ago, so it seems kind of odd to be having problems already. If it is the battery, how severe of a problem would this be? Is there something I could do to fix it, or can I just live with it until the end of the school year... or do I need to have this fixed ASAP? (And on the off chance that this is a related problem, my speakers have been making that funny crackling/static sound when I wake the computer up from sleep... I was reading some threads about that around here, but to the best of my knowledge the problem was never really resolved.)
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm not sure why but when i first turn on my macbook a very fast pop up comes on and goes away. It has been happening ever since i turned my firewall on last week after realizing it was somehow off.
i have tried to take a picture and video to read the pop up but it fashes so fast i can read it. it looks like a allow/deny request. I was not able to find out what it was online.

i am using a MacBookPro, my main use is to make websites that display correctly on iPad/iPhone and Larger screens, to see if i am doing OK i regularly resize my SAFARI Browser window.Today i am dissappointed to see that when i resize my browser window narrower or wider the display flashes continuosly, it hasnt been like this before, does your display do this ?.What do you think i should do, is there some LOG file i can get hold of to show to the Apple Techies, or some tests i can carry out ?it hasnnt done this before.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI use my MBP connected to a Dell U2410 and everything has been ok for the last 5 months or so (I got the MBP around the beginning of Feb.). However recently, my display will start flickering (blinking) a blue screen up to the point that it is completely unusable. Often if I simply unplug the mini displayport from the mbp and plug it back in again, everything goes back to normal for awhile. Just now I was able, between flickers, to switch from the integrated graphics card to the dedicated (?) graphics card. Although I did get a few flickers logging back in, so far it's been ok.
View 1 Replies View Relatedmy Macbook (I believe a 2008 model wouldn't wake up from it's sleep like it does every time I open it (I usually set it to sleep rather than shut it down). I turned it off manually, but when I attempted reboot it does either one of two things:
a) When I simply press the power on button, the screen stays black and the sleep light fades on once, but then fades off and all mechanical sounds abruptly stop.
b) When I press and hold the power button, the sleep light fades on, but then flashes about 10 times rapidly before fading in and once again abruptly turning off.
I have tried this with the charger plugged in several different outlets, not plugged into the Macbook, waiting, removing and putting back the battery. A Google search said it might have something to do with the RAM and pushing it back in, but I have no idea how to do that.
Twice now I have seen a strange, black and white icon that flashes momentarily upon waking my MacBook Pro from sleep. It looks vaguely like an Apple remote. It goes away almost immediately.

My menu bar on the right side of the screen started flashing after the latest updates from Apple. I haven't changed any settings - just started flashing at various times.
Info:Lion, Mac OS X (10.7), Can't change the desktop picture
I just hooked up a 2nd monitor to my early '08 Mac Pro and when in OSX the screens start to go blank/blue for about 1 second intervals. They flash together sometimes, and other times sort of independantly to each other. When the desktop comes back on it fades in like its animated rather than like its cutting in and out.
It seems fine when I disconnect one monitor.Running 10.5.2 all updates 8 core 2.8ghz with 10gb ram and 8800GT
