Acrobat 10.1.4 enabled produces white blank from webpage

I have used a Mac mini with OS.X 10.6.8 for 2 years
For last 2 weeks I have been unable to read or save .pdf files from web pages. I get only a blank white page.
Previously, pdf files were donw loaded using Preview. I have followed a suggestion in Firefox Help, and changed to using Acrobat. No change. Today I disabled and reloaded Acrobat 10.1.4. No change.
Safari can get me pdf files, but I want to continue using Firefox.
I am by no means an expert

Does it still work with Preview?
Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader

Sometimes when downloading a .pdf file I'm not automatically switched to Acrobat reader, but the screen becomes white with a red borderline left and upper, IE doesn't have this problem

The screen shows the borders of the original site. Beneath the Mozilla workbar the screen becomes white, on the left and upper side there appears a thin red line. Nothing is downloaded, clicking the right mouse button doesn't solve the problem. It doesn't happen everytime I try to load a .pdf file. When I go to the same site using Internet Explorer I do not encouter the same problem, swiching to Acrobat Reader or FoxIt is immediate.

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Office 2008 produces only blank page when opening files

Under Lion, Microsoft Office 2008 products -- specifically Word and Excel -- will produce only "blank" pages when I open files I saved before I upgraded to Lion. These are valid files which will open using Windows, or even using Preview.
I put "blank" in quotes because the content is still there. It is displayed, however, using the background color --- no matter what I set the foreground text color to, or highlight the background, it will never display my text! So the default seems to be white text on a white background. Setting the foreground text color to red or blue will have no effect; it will still be white.
A workaround I'm currently using is to open the files in TextEdit, "Select All", copy & then paste into a new Word document, but the formatting doesn't always carry over.
I posted a message on a Microsoft site and they said (go figure) "it's an Apple problem, not a problem with the software."
Anyone else having this problem?
How/when can it be fixed?

I saw another post regarding font mismatches and I've learned that that is the problem in this case!
If I open any of the documents I was having trouble with, do select-all, and then change the FONT (not the style, not the color) -- e.g. to Times, or Times New Roman -- suddenly all my text appears!

When i try enlarge youtube to fill the screen it just opens a full white blank screen

when i try to show a extended few a just get a large white blank screen.
this happens with youtube or if a am viewing lets say a shirt and it shows me to click here to enlarge pic and I get this white screen. i am running xp sp3

I had a same problem and I just fixed it. I don't if firefox update or what update made it but to fix you need to do this:
When you are at the video, before you make it fullcreen, right click and go to setting, when that opens uncheck enable hardware accelarator and than just click close.
Good luck :)

Safari displays white blank page

I'm using OSX 10.8.5 on Macbook pro Intel Core 2 Duo.
Since almost a year ago, I didn't see pages in Safari, it display white blank screen but it has contents.
Safari loaded contents, but it didn't render contents into page.
I found that, Safari update entry of 'com.apple.afari.plist' file in the Preference folder and it cause Safari fail to render pages.
When Safari start, it changes
<key>com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2AcceleratedCompositingEnabled</key>
entry to
<false/>
and next time I start Safari, white blank page displayed.
If I change
<key>com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2AcceleratedCompositingEnabled</key>
entry to
<true/>
and start Safari, I can see pages well, but I can't stop Safari to update the value to false.
Any solutions to solve this issue ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Firefox is freezing, then only showing a white blank screen when I try to load it.

Ok, I have not had any problems with firefox, I was logging on it all the time, everyday, etc... with no problems until today. Today when I went to log onto the net, firefox opened, and it looked like everything I had customized from tabs, bookmarks and etc... had been wipped off. But also, it would not load any page, none of my bookmarks were showing in the side bookmark window that was open. It would only say "connecting..." in the only tab that was there. I could not click on anything, or do anything. When I tried to click on anything within it, I would get the "not responding" error at the top, and then the whole browser would disappear, and be replaced with a white blank page, with only the firefox logo, in the blue bar at the very top. This would also be frozen, and I could not even get it to close. I would have to open my task manager, and close it that way by stopping the process.
I have not installed anything new on my comp, I have not downloaded unknown things, or anything new I do not think recently either. Like I said I have been using firefox for years, never had this problem. I used it just fine even this morning before I went to bed. Then tonight when I woke, logged on, this was happening.
I have tried using IE, and IE is working just fine, without any problems. I used IE to download, and then update firefox to the newest version, still no change. By the way I was not running "really old" version or anything, I keep my firefox updated. Soooo can someone help me?

I have a similar issue -- using an embedded google form rendered as an iframe. It is present in the source, but displays as blank space.
This problem seems to be confined to Mac OS X (I'm on 10.6.3), and I didn't have this problem with FF 3.6.x (not sure if I ever had 3.6.9, or what version I had prior to 3.6.10). The issue is not present in Chrome or Safari, or on 3.6.10 on Windows 7.0 I believe

Why does the website display white blank pages only?

Hello:
I use Firefox 13.0.1 on a Mac OS X, and I often go to www.wenxuecity.com for news. But, in the past couple of days, when I type in that address in the URL window, only a white blank page shows up. Nothing else! If I use Google to find direct links to a few news items at that website and click the links, I also get white blank pages. No error message or anything else.
Could you tell what is going on here?
Many thanks!

Is the page completely blank or is there still some content visible?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Acrobat form with server side submit, posting blank data

Acrobat form with server side submit, posting blank data,
thanh xả tràn
I have a PDF form which gets submitted to the server using a submit (server-side) button. The data is then received in XML format by a ColdFusion component which does some validation and stores it into the database.
This PDF form is usually filled in by our clients using Adobe Reader 8 or below. While most of the times(and I mean like 96-97% of the times) everything goes well, at times we receive blank data into our database!! This renders couple of other features in our application useless as they try to parse an XML which does not exist.
I do believe that this is not a problem at the ColdFusion side because all it does is trim(ToString(toBinary(GetHttpRequestData().content))).
Does anyone has a clue as to why the data will be lost upon form submission?? I have done a lot of googling around it but in vain!

There is an outside chance someone is just playing with you and submitting a blank form. Not uncommon if someone is not too familiar with forms.

IPOD Help~(cannot view anything except a white blank screen)

Alright...I never expected to post up something in this discussion thread this soon...since I got my 30gig iPOD just three days ago...and curious as I am to things...I think I broke it, hah~
Anyways...I need some help.
Here's the story.
I was updating my iPOD to a newer version, I'm assuming...and during the updating process...I accidently 'x'ed out of the box...and now my iPOD screen does not show anything except for a white blank screen. If I hold down the menu and center button for six seconds...It shuts down...but when I release/let go of the buttons...it makes a ring sound and goes back to the white blank screen.
And also...when I go to the start menu and look under the iPOD folder...it has an update your ipod thing...I clicked it...and it pops up with a screen, saying stuff like it's 'initializing'...and tells me to plug in my iPOD with the usb chord...but I get a message saying 'can't mount iPOD' or 'internal error'
I think I've tried anything there is to solve this problem...like the five R's...etc.
I do not want to think that I broke my iPOD already. So if anyone knows, please reply back.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Sky,
Hmm - I see the shapes, I'm not sure why they're disappearing when you draw them - too simple of a file to point at some other issue. It seems like something with the installation went wrong or is missing (the player that renders the Stage for AS3 documents). I think the first thing will be to get the update. Can you try downloading from this page instead of through the update manager? http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html Then try running the executable that you download. If this doesn't fix it, Flash may need to be fully removed and reinstalled.

My iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen, no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

my iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen, no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

Hey there Galileo,
It sounds like your iPhone screen is solid white and you cannot do anything with it. Take a look at these steps from the following article about that kind of issue:
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

E 72 crash and stuck on white blank screen

i just saved mms settings and rebooted my E 72 and then it would not start. it gets stuck on a white blank screen. what to do?

Try doing the following as well:
1.. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
- Make sure you back up your data first as you will lose all of it when you perform. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345.
2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone. ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.
This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
3. hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

Click on the icon and a white blank page comes on, the bottom says opening but nothing happens!

when ever i open firefox, nothing happens, just a white blank page comes on, on the bottom left, the default page is trying to open" i.e waiting for xxxxxxx to open,
I tried re starting my computer "MAC" also quit Firefox and opened it but the problem is still there.

Last time I updated Firefox, all of my bookmarks and saved pages were gone.
If you have unsaved open pages you may loose them on a Firefox upgrade but you should not normally loose your bookmarks, unless for instance you do a new install and take one of the options that deletes personal information.
I suggest as a precaution you back up your Firefox profile. This is something that is easier to do whilst Firefox is able to run; and it is good practice to do this periodically anyway; but it can still be done even when Firefox is not able to be run.
* for instructions have a look at [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* put the backup files and folders somewhere safe, where they may be found easily, but outside the Firefox program or profile paths. (Your Windows 7 Desktop is a suitable location).
Now when I click on the Firefox icon, nothing happens. No page opens...nothing.
Firefox not starting after an upgrade is often caused by firewalls or security programs either not recognising the new Firefox as being safe, or else blocking or even reversing changes made to your system and browser.
Have a look at your security software and the security settings.
*What security related software and firewall do you use ?

How do I re-load the osx Disc when PC is just white blank screen

How do I re-load the osx Disc when PC is just white blank screen

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
