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.

MacBook
Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), iPad 2, iPhone 4S
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.

there are two things that the macbook is doing to me. one is that sometimes when i move the screen up or down (the hinge is rather stiff) a white (thin) line flashes across the screen. but recently, while randomly browsing through the internet, the screen almost... i guess faded to a gray screen, but like gradually, and not like a kernel error, like the display just faded away. happened twice in a row, did a battery pull and now wont do it again.
It 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.)
my macbook air's screen flashes when I restart it or sometimes when I am using it, and I cannot read those words because it is so fast, could it be something serious?
I have a 700 mhz emac and sometimes there is a pop and then immediately after the screen flashes and them everything is fine but it seems its happening more often.
My Macbook is brand new! (Barely 4 months old) Just recently my laptop will flash a black screen. It starts from the bottom and quickly flashes up the screen higher and higher each flash! i have read on some other pages it is a bad inverter on the inner core of the Macbook. Other than that I do not know what to do!
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
So I have a MacBook circa 2007, running Lion (10.7.3). Over the past day or so it has develeoped a problem where upon opening it, the screen will come on for a moment, then go dark. Nothing will respond - it's unclear whether it's completely off or it's like the brightness is turned all the way down and I can't turn it back up. I have to force shut down with the power button, then turn it back on again. Typically once I log in nothing will load, so I have to force shutdown and start up again, at which point I'll get a dialog saying "You shut down your computer because of a problem. Would you like to reopen applications," or something to that effect. I choose no, and everything is back to normal (at least until I take a chance with closing it and opening it back up again).
Info: MacBook (13-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
MBP not booting up? I press the on button and the screen flashes for a moment and then it dies again... once I actually got it to some screen that said HD and Restore but when I clicked on HD it died immediately again...

I have had my Powerbook G4 for a few years now and everything has been working well. When I turned it off yesterday everything looked normal. But when I turned it on this morning, everything was huge. All the tool bars, the screen,, everything is blown up. This is really inconvenient and hard to read... how can I return my Mac to normal and make everything small again?
Is there a shortcut in Mac OS X that resizes two or more open windows automatically so that each window is shown on the screen simultaneously? For example, I want to have a safari window open and a word document open so that one half of the screen is showing safari and the other half is word. I know I can resize them manually but I was wondering if there is a shortcut or a third party utility that resizes any open windows to fit the entire screen? This would be useful, for example, with the new 27 inch iMacs where the wide screen can easily display three (or more) windows side by side utilizing the entire screen area; having them resized automatically would be more productive than having to resize them manually.
On my 1st Gen Mac Pro, I suddenly get a strange blue screen out of no where. Everything on the screen freezes for a few seconds then the screen flashes blue for another few seconds. After the screen comes back from the blue, everything works perfectly again. Even when listening to music, music pauses for a few seconds and then comes back. This happens a couple times a week and its getting on my nerves. Sometimes it lasts for a long time and requires a hard restart.
I have tried reinstalling Leopard/tried hardware test/upgraded to the 8800GT video card and the 3870/I cleaned the whole inside of the box with compressed air. I even took her into the apple store and had a genius look at it over night. They told me everything is working perfectly. Ofcourse it started doing it again after I got home with it. The apple store suggested that I could always replace the logic board but they want over $1000.00 for that and I dont know if its worth it.
During the boot-sequence the screen of my Imac 27" flashes green (once), then returns to normal. This does not happen when I boot my Windows (Bootcamp) partition, so I assume this is some kind of OSX driver error. This started to happen only after I installed the latest patch (10.9.3). How to get rid of it ?
basically my wallpaper image flashes and any windows I have minimized to the Dock expand whenever iTunes changes tracks. It's not a huge problem, but it can be a bit of a pain (there, it just happened again, I had to minize stuff in order to get back to this window).
P.S.: I listed the topic under Lion because it never happened before I upgraded to it.
Running a fairly new iMac with 10.7.4 and came home to find that the finder flashes, I can't access the trash and the files on the desktop disappeared. Haven't downloaded anything (and my kids also claim not to have).

So I designed some art for someone in Illustrator, made a PDF, and sent it onto them in email as an attachment. They got it in Apple mail. Immediately they contacted me back. "The PDF I sent them is the wrong size". (it was meant to be business card size).
It seems Apple mail "did them a favor" of showing them the PDF contents inline to their document. OK no problem there, BUT...
#1. It looks wrong size. When they printed it out on paper, it printed wrong size, adding confusion and delay.
#2. Apple Mail actively hid the fact that this was an attachment. (as opposed to rich-content mail, i.e. a JPEG inline.) There was no visual indication that it was an attachment, no way to "peel it off" and get to a "save as..." box. There WAS a paperclip icon (which generally means attachment) but it did something totally different and unrelated. I couldn't even tell her how to save it to a file.
I told the person "Just forward it to your publisher on faith that it's correct" but that really doesn't cut it. Heck I'm not even sure the forward carried the attachment along. There's just no way to tell.
So is there a way I can send mail to this person so it is easier to work with? OS X Lion Mail.
Using Lion, I have tried to re-size an image using Preview and every time I try to save my edited image it tells me I do not have permission to save this/the file is locked when I have full permissions to do so and the file is NOT locked.
My external display (HP w2207) seems to conflict with my MacBook Pro (15 inch Retina display, early 2013) since I upgraded MacBook OS to 10.9.4.The external display works at initial boot of Mac but does not work after OS sleeps and I attempt to awaken, and while the external display is not waking, the Retina display flashes through different screen views, which only partially reflect my normal screen, or do not reflect my normal screen at all.
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?
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.
My 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.
A few minutes ago I imported all my settings from my imac onto my macbook using the migration assistant, but now some of my windows in things like Safari and iTunes are too big for the screen, and the resize thing in the bottom right corner is too far down to reach it (not on the screen at all) ... And some of my iTunes Buttons are too far down to reach, anyone know of a way to fix this? its driving me insans!
I just deleted Windows Partition 30g on my Macbook.
If I resize the MAC one to fill that 30gig back up will I need to backup? I know I know you should always back up but does it intentionally remove data? Or is it straight forward?
Basic question, had a photo sent to me that I wanted to make a hard copy of but when I clicked on print only the top of one person's head appeared on the hard copy, I tried down sizing but all that happened was I got a smaller picture of the same person's head. Not sure what program I should use or exactly what I need to do to get a correct sized print.
Can this be done? I have a lot of pictures in iPhoto 08 that I want to reduce in size to 800x600 to fit on a SD card. I can resize them one at a time, but does anyone know of a way to resize many pictures at once? It would sure be a timesaver for me.
Im 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.
