All These Black Boxes

So I've searched performance setting in ID CS5, and can't seem to figure out how to get rid of all the black boxes appearing while I scale any object, or pan with the hand tool. Is this just an annoyance I'll have to deal with, or can I get rid of it?
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

That's it! Simple fix. I'll put that in my notes.
Thank you Daniel!

  • I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page.  There is also an oblong black box

    Hi - I'm not only having trouble waking up my MBP from sleep and having to restart repeatedly which is a pain in itself, but now when it restarted, I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page.  There is also an oblong resizable black box sitting on top of anything.  The content changes depending on the actions I take.  Right now it says, "You are currently on a close button.  To click this button, which closes the current window, press Control-Option-Space."  Right now I'm open in Firefox, but it doesn't matter if only Finder is open, it's still there.  I've tried closing all my applications and restarting and I also reset the PRAM.  It won't go away.  It's probably something simple, but I don't know how to get rid of it.  Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Janet

    Thanks so much.  I saw this on "desktop strangeness" immediately after I posted and tried to retract my question.  It worked perfectly.  I'm not sure how VoiceOver got turned on unless something happened when I was trying to wake up the computer.  I open the lid and it flashes whatever is open and then the screen goes black and I can't wake it up.  Still looking for the resolution to this.

  • I have these black boxes around my active pages, but I have voice-over disabled, any help?

    I have these black boxes around my active pages, I looked online for pointers but they all pointed to me disabling my voice-over in the universal access option on system preferences. My voice-over wasn't enabled and the boxes are still here, any help?

    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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    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(s)?
    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 in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest 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.
    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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    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.

  • I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

    i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

    Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
    So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
    To change that select:
    Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
    Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
    It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
    Menu > View > Hide Layout

  • Black boxes either side of You Tube display

    Using IE9 there are two large black boxes either side of the You Tube video display. All the links appear underneath and to the right. Using Firefox the display appears as it should with the links alongside the display. I have recently updated Flashplayer.  Is this a Flashplayer problem please?

    I have only disabled SpywareBlaster not uninstalled but all the problems outlined in the other thread have been resolved.
    The problem with YoyTube is on every video I watch. I am not sure how long I have had the problem and wonder if it is something to do with all the settings I messed around with on the other matter although I think those settings are back to where they were. I know that I have updated Flashplayer though.
    I assume that these black boxes should not be there. YouTube runs as it should in Firefox.
    Software rendering didn't make any difference.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Strange black boxes appearing

    We recently have had these black boxes appearing on our desktops. They appear on all of our software and even around the icons on our desktop. Mainly they appear where there is a box already but they're black. Sometimes they will fall in the correct area (directly over the box) or floating off but close to the boxes.
    This isn't the best explanation but does anyone have any idea? We have tried rebooting and they are still appearing.

    You're welcome.

  • Quicktime Conversion, How do i save it without getting the black boxes???

    I am new to Final Cut pro, and when I try to export as a Quicktime, (so that I can open it as a quicktime on any computer that doesn't have final cut) it doesn't work. All these black rectangles appear on the canvas and saves it with the black rectangles....I wish I could post a photo to explain to you what I mean...Any chance one of you could give me your email so I can send you a freeze frame of what I'm talking about?
    It's beyond frustrating and I need to deliver it today! And be able to upload a high quality version to youtube!
    Thanks so much!
    Confused,
    Radha (my email [email protected])

    Hi, Thank you so much! I checked all the boxes, but when I bring it into compressor, what format do I save it under? Apple Pro Res something something-- I want to be able to upload the quicktime to Youtube/Vimeo in the highest resolution possible, and also want to be able to open in on a computer that doens't have final cut pro and all the "codecs" or whatever they're called. Thank you so much.

  • HELP - I just downloaded the update, and now all my keynote slide shows have ugly symbols (sort of a black box with an O in the middle) wherever I clicked 'return' to go down a bullet or to edit text.  It does not let me delete these marks

    this is what it looks like

    Interesting, Have you tried selecting the text elements and then formatting them so that they are not bulleted? And then reformatting them with a different style bullet so you can see if the black boxes come back with a different style of bullet?
    I just made a few small test lists with bullets in Keynote and I have no issues.

  • How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

    I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

    Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?  Using iOS 10.7.5

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • All black boxes

    How do I clear all black boxes that appear instead of text, tables, graphs, graphics, or labels?

    I had quite a scare. I went to that DriverMax site, download, signed up, and did a scan of drivers. It indicated for the Mobile Intel Express chipset family that there was a newer driver with a 2011 date. When it asked if I wanted to make a backup point I answered no because I had already done so previously and went ahead with the download update. It then said I had to restart my computer for the update to take effect. I did that but when I started my laptop PC up again it got to the Windows screen with the three vertical bars running left to right for about 5 s and then the screen went BLACK. I had to hold down the on/off switch for it to turn off and tried a couple more times to turn it on with the same result.
    The only way I got back on was when the PC got to the screen about the system that was going to run it stated to push F8 for troubleshooting. So I pushed F8 and choose the line that said restart computer with last known good logon. I checked the driver and the date is the old date of 2005-10-14. I don't know what went on but it was not good for me.
    The other thing I didn't like was it loaded something called AVG Secure Search, which I didn't want but there was no way to uncheck the radial button. Now when I click on the Internet icon for Google Chrome it goes to this AVG Secure Search.
    What happened? I hope I can login normally from now on and what should I try next?

  • Photoshop all of the sudden printing a solid black "box"

    Hello!
    I have a few users who use CS3 to do some marketing-work. Not quite sure what they exactly are doing, but they are using Photoshop, InDesign etc. at least.
    Both computers are running XP SP3 with the newest updates for CS3.
    Yesterday a problem started occuring, when they were printing. One of them opened two files, each about 50 MB - pressed "print" (as she always does) and instead of two pictures, like one would expect, out came one picture and one solid black box, where the picture was supposed to be.
    The other one had 10 images open and same symptoms. First one printed nicely, the last 9 came out as black boxes. Keep in mind, that they have been doing this for quite some time now, without any problems what so ever.
    My first thought was that the printer (HP Laserjet 5550) couldn't handle the big images, so I asked them to print on our Xerox Docucolor 240. Same problem! That leads me to believe, that there's a setting somewhere, they've activated - sorta like the one, that makes all text black.
    If you need any additional info, please tell me :-) Also, I would be glad to scan one of the black boxes in for you, if you need to see it.
    Thank you in advance!
    Thomas

    Thank you for your effort in explaining this in a more simple way hehe..
    I have forwarded your suggestion to the users in question. I'm not sure, they will be able to test it today, since it's almost 2 PM here (and time for weekend). But as soon as I know whether or not it helped, I'll be sure to let you know.
    Regards

  • Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might  be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever,  and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
    Thanks for your comments
