Recently (like in the past week), my 1.5 GHz 15" AlBook has occasionally shown these two odd problems:

1. Sometimes when I wake up my computer from Display Sleep (as in the computer is functioning and working, but the LCD is shut off) the picture that briefly comes up is all scrambled-like. Not quite like static on a TV set, but something to that effect. Should I be worried?

2. Last night, I started up iTunes and was playing some music, and noticed that the output level was low... so when I turned up the volume, the playback would stutter. (it was a 128kbps mp3, nothing too processor-intensive) I restarted and it went away, but, just the same... should I be worried?

1. I'd only be worried if it stays staticy. If it goes back to a normal screen then things should be ok, it happened to me once and I just ignored it. If it keeps coming up and your really worried about then go ahead and take it to a tech and see what they have to say about it, but I wouldn't fret too much over it.

2. With the specs you mention I'm guessing your machine is running off of 512MB of RAM. If this is so, then you might of had other things running in the background that was hogging all your RAM, try using only 3-5 apps other than iTunes, or you could have something in the background thats hogging the cpu. Next time it happens go to Activity Monitor (App>Uti>Act Mon) and check out how much RAM is being used and see if anything is hogging up the cpu.

Thanks-

Although I don't think it's my ram, I've got 1GB.
