Adobe Windows Fireworks CS5 opens to white screen

I had Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium installed and working fine for over a year. All of a sudden today when I click the icon to open Fireworks it opens to a blank screen "white".
I can see my icons for Windows 7 at the bottom but nothing but a white screen. It appears Dreamweaver is doing the same. I tried uninstalling FW and re-install and the problem
continues. Help

I checked the above article and it wasn't relevant to the problem stated at the beginning of this article, first off that person was using an iPad (there is no blue icon on the right side of the browser window on a computer) and 2nd, what is needed is preventing small images opening in full screen mode instead of the image loading in screen the same size as the image. The above article shows how to get in and out of full screen mode but that doesn't address the issue in the original post because the image is still placed on a too large screen. When the image is only 3x2 inches you don't need the page opening as large as a full size screen on a 27" monitor. When that happens you have to click on the tiny, miniscule, hardly attainable 1 pixel spot at the lower right corner of the screen and resize the page manually so it doesn't take up the whole screen so you can see the other documents. when you are opening multiple images this is very annoying.
I have trouble believing that Adobe techs haven't found a solution to this issue since Sept 2011 when the first post on this issue was posted above.

I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Hi aldamtgf,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Messages is only displaying a white screen when you open it, first force close the application using this method:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:

If Messages still does not open normally, restart your iPhone next:

Window does not open to full screen???

This one has me stumped. I recently installed / upgraded to CS5.1, set up all my preferences, keyboard shortcuts, presets, plugins. All worked fine, day in - day out, for the last three weeks.
About three days ago this anomaly appeared...
When I zoom in (cmd +/), the window will resize, but only part way. The window will move over flush right on the monitor, but leave about one inch of space between the window and the left side of the monitor, and increase in size until it fits aprox 2/3rds of the monitor / screen. It stops enlarging and leaves about 3 inches of space between the window and the bottom of the screen. At that point I get scroll bars. So I end up with a much smaller window to work in.
I can grab the bottom right corner of the window, pull it open to fill the screen, but as soon as I go to zoom in or out, the window jumps back to the smaller size with the gap on the left side and bottom.
It's driving me crazy!! having to work in such a small window.
Option bar is "Standard Screen Mode"
All my pallets are on a separate monitor, so nothing else is on my main monitor that would limit the size of my window as I zoom in.
My preferences are set to:
• Zoom Resizes Windows
• Enable Flick Panning (works fine)
• Animated Zoom
OS 10.5x
10GB ram
I don't know if I inadvertently changed something to cause this. So I'm hoping someone here can solve this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Grant,
upon further investigation, the "application frame" yields other unwanted effects.
That setting gives me tabbed viewing (which I don't want), even though I have that turned off in preferences. When I open multiple documents they open not as individual windows, but as a tab in the one open window. When I go into the options bar and set the "arrange documents" to "float in windows", I get the individual windows, but then I get the same problem of the windows not zooming to the full screen, as stated in my original posting.
Also, just saw that even with the "application frame" checked, when I open a smart object layer, that window still has the same zoom issue.
So the problem still exists.
Any other ideas?
fyi: here is a screen capture of the original screen / zoom issue.
You can see the gray space on the left and bottom. The scroll bars are showing and the window will not get any larger.
Thanks JeffN

Opens with white screen

When laptop turns on it opens to a white screen.
Can I reboot?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to start up from an external drive, or else to use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

CS5.5 Mobile White Screen of Death

HI,
I am a N00B to CS5.5 and I am testing it out with a trial version. I developed an app in Dreamweaver CS5.5 with phonegap. I launched the app in CS5.5's Build and Emulate. After my splash screen I get a white screen that never goes away. I can't figure out what it is...
I looked at the debug notes and found this:
* Fail Loading With Error
* Error - If the webpage failed to load display an error with the
reson.
- (void)webView:(UIWebView *)theWebView didFailLoadWithError:(NSError
*)error
return [ super webView:theWebView didFailLoadWithError:error ];
I am a little confused as to what this means for me. Can someone
point me in the right direction?
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP!

I have somewhat the same problem. I was jogging (perspiring) with the equipment and suddenly the menu selections began to fade to a white-light gray--it stopped playing. I tried discharging-charging the battery, to no avail. When I tried to recharge I get 2 beeps every 10-15 minutes.
Help!

N97 Blocked on the Opening Nokia white screen

Hello guys, i have seen a post like this here but couldn't find it. My phone is blocked on the opening screen...
if i remove the battery it goes off.. i put the batt again and turned it on...
opens the white pages and gets stuck there...
tried to charge it... and the problem still persists..
what should i do...????
i need help.... please...
this phone is really a failure.... i should have bought an iPhone..

Do you have an extra memorycard in the phone?
If you do and have an old backup copy on it, it may cause problems like that!!
I´ve experienced the same white Nokia screen and I tried to take out the battery but I didn´t get the phone to work again.
Take out the memorycard!!! I did that and then I formatted the memorycard in my computer before I put it back again...
Hope it works for you!

Adobe Bridge and CS5 open when iPad connected

Why does Adobe Bridge and Downloader open when I connect my iPad? I cannot find in Preferences any way to toggle this off. HJZ
Message was edited by: Harry Zemel1

The same thing happens when you connect an iPod Touch.
Here's the solution:
1) Plug in your device; when Adobe Bridge pops up, just close them.
2) Open Image Capture app on your Mac (not sure about PCs), bottom left side says, "Connecting this (insert device name here ie. iPod or iPad) opens:"
3) select No application.
Done!

Is there a limit to how many windows can be open on a screen?

Bored at work again and playing around, is there a limit (real or theoretical) of the numbers of windows that can be open on a Mac at any given time?

There is an infinite number that can be up at any given time. Just to test it, one fun thing I like to play around with is this:
Open up a Finder window and hit Command-N, about 100 times. Then push F9 or F8 to see all the windows you opened!
It's fun to see 10,293 Finder windows open at once. To close them, just hit Command-W the same number of times, or go to Force Quit and Relaunch Finder.
Have fun!!!

Open iPhoto, White Screen, no icons on left or bottom.

I just installed iLife09 from a company disk yesterday and have NEVER had so many problems with iPhoto - every other program appears to be working fine. I finally emptied the old trash - got it to start recognizing faces (my Library is 20gb) but when that was finished, no photos popped up under Library - only under Events, and then you couldn't click them. Here's what I've done to try and remedy the problem:
ReInstall 10.5.6 combo
Option+Cmd iPhoto to rebuild everything
Delete face.db files, etc.
Restart computer several times.
What is the deal?? I just want to view my photos - if I would have known this was going to happen, I would have kept the old iPhoto!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Terence, first off, thank you for making time to help me with my issue. Last night I completely trashed iPhoto and every pref assoc with it and reinstalled ilife. Restarted, and get the same problem. I repaired disk permissions also.
When I open iPhoto it's just a shell of an app, no icons. I have to click on the add album icon to get the left row of icons to appear. I then imported a single jpeg - it recognized it and stalled on finishing importing. I have 8.02 iPhoto. I'm pretty computer savvy (not on the backend) but can usually figure something out. This is very tough...don't know what the deal is! Thanks so much for your help.

Extremely slow boot. How to get rid of white screen in Windows only boot.

Hey guys I have a Windows 7 only MacBookPro 17". 2.8ghz core 2 duo, 4 gig of ram, 7200 rpm 500gb hd(passes s.m.a.r.t. btw)
It boots extremely slow. I turn the computer on and it stays at the white screen for around 20 seconds. Then it moves to Windows 7 and continues to boot from there. I have a video:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xc5taaslow-windows-7-boot-on-macbook-protech
In a windows only setting how would I get it to just boot Windows without going threw the white screen? It also gets hung when logging in on a black screen.
There was a post on Ubuntu forums about Ubuntu only boots about doing something to get it to only boot the MBR. I didn't really understand if this would work with Windows 7 though. Thanks for any help.

I shut down all but one of the extensions, and that seems to have resolved the problem. Thank you!
Now to figure out which extensions I need, and which I don't, because I don't have a clue. I don't remember installing most of these, I only recall one or two (nothing looks spammy like funmoods, but still don't remember when or why these were added...)
