System Preferences → Accessibility → Display → CursorĬheck if it works by streaming a movie on Netlix or TV.app. Change the Cursor size to Large then return it again to Normal.I didn’t notice the flickering anymore when I stream Netflix with subtitle on and full-screen mode. It worked for me.Īt first I thought it might not work, since it’s a silly solution. This is a temporary fix but it’s better than having to reset the whole system again. It might sound crazy but I’ve read on a reddit forum that resizing the mouse pointer to a larger size and then returning it back to normal size will fix your issue. Here I quote the answer from the user geezwhiz: I was about to give up until I found this Apple Community thread.

So I really can enjoy the streaming full experience if I turn on the subtitle. I tried to disable the subtitle and yes it doesn’t flicker.Įnglish is my second (if not third) language. Some forums said that it is a bug on macOS when you turn the subtitle on. I was wondering what could possibly be cause this. Then another thing also happened when I stream Apple TV+ using their new TV.app, which is also in full-screen mode. It’s constantly flickering when in full-screen mode.įirst thing I notice is when I stream Netflix with Safari in full-screen mode.

Mac 911 can’t reply to-nor publish an answer to-every question, and we don’t provide direct troubleshooting advice.I notice lately it’s awfully annoying when streaming some videos on macOS.

If not, we’re always looking for new problems to solve! Email yours to including screen captures as appropriate. We’ve compiled a list of the questions we get asked most frequently along with answers and links to columns: read our super FAQ to see if your question is covered. We know that improperly shielded monitor cabling can allow Wi-Fi to affect displays and even system crashes, so this is another variable to try to eliminate when troubleshooting. Moving the printer further away reduced the frequency of blackouts, but didn’t entirely eliminate them. Tye found that an Epson printer that used Wi-Fi for network connections appeared to cause an iMac blackout. Running it with a dimmer setting for screen brightness also worked. Waking it would re-activate the backlighting, at least temporarily. He noted that in his case, putting the iMac to sleep through a keyboard shortcut (Control–Shift–Power button or Control–Shift–Media Eject) or by pressing and quickly releasing the iMac’s power button. While he replaced the screen, the problem came back. Yet another had an issue with a 2009 iMac’s backlighting: sometimes the monitor works, but when the backlighting fails, you can’t see anything on the display. Pressing on the affected spot could restore light temporarily.” You’d need to find a shop that was willing to disassemble and reassemble a Mac to fix this problem. That gap caused periodic screen blackouts. “There was a gap in the thermal paste that prevented the screen from making full contact with a sensor along the bezel.

Jefferson said a friend’s iMac had a similar problem due to an imperfect upgrade by a previous owner. It might cost $100 or more to have someone qualified crack the case and look for signs of failure, at which point unless they’re handy with a soldering iron and it’s something that can be fixed with molten tin and lead, it won’t be worth repairing. I suspect the repair shop only ran hardware diagnostics via software, which wouldn’t reveal this, and didn’t open it up. In movement, it might have been jarred, or the repair facility might be heavily air conditioned or not at all, while Cecil’s home is the opposite. With modern manufacture, that sort of nonsense is much less likely, but given that moving the iMac into a different location made the problem impossible to replicate lends credence. Banging the set jarred the discontinuity in the solid-state circuit that did color decoding.

(As a child, my family had a color TV set, but when it heated up, it shifted to black and white. While I haven’t seen this recently, in my youth-when I was more hands on with soldering irons and circuits-it was relatively common to have faults that only materialized under certain circumstances in which heating or cooling caused expansion or contraction that caused a temporary gap in whatever conductive material was passing electricity. Without laying hands on the computer, my guess is this is an electrical fault that has a thermal component.
