ARD clients show with black icon?!?

I have a dedicated ARD admin server. It acts as the Task server and the primary list.
I have over 600 Macs in the Remote Desktop app.
The problem is right now all of the client show up with the black icon.
I cannot delete any client either. ARD just locks up.
I am running a fresh rebuild of OS X Server 10.5.7 and all the latest updates.

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

ARD Client Doesn't Show When Using Scanner and Network Range

All-
When I use the Scanner in ARD3 to scan a remote Network Range over the internet, the ARD client that I KNOW EXISTS in that same IP range DOES NOT show up (other ARD clients that I'm not interested in do show up, but not the specific ARD client I need to observe/control).
If I then call the user at the remote ARD client on the telephone, and have them give me their IP address (using www.whatismyip.com, for example), I can use the Scanner in ARD3 to "find" the ARD client and add it to my All Computers list. Process: change the popup box to read "Network Address" instead of "Network Range" and set the IP address field to the address provided by the user.
Why doesn't the remote ARD client show up when I scan for it using a Network Range in ARD3? Obviously, I don't want to have to call up each user every time I need to perform maintenance/control a client to get their (dynamic) IP address.
I could use dynamic DNS, but that's overkill. If I know (from experience) that my ARD clients are in IP ranges X, Y, and Z, then I SHOULD be able to simply scan for them (or so I thought).
Any help appreceated.

Updated to ARD3.1 (admin and clients), but that did not solve the issue.
Let me try to restate the problem:
The ARD client is out of state/across the country (i.e., different sub-net) using a dynamically assigned IP adddress. I can (for now) connect to that ARD client successfully, and perform all ARD functions (that I've tried so far) becasue I know (for now) that client's IP address (I called and spoke with the user who used www.whatismyip.com to give me their IP address). So what's the problem, you ask?
Some time in the future, that same ARD client will have a new, dynamically assigned IP address. I'd like to be able to connect to that client without having to call on the telephone and ask the user what IP address they have been assigned now.
My thinking was that I could make a pretty good guess at their IP address (based on their old IP address, and the way Cable and Telco ISPs allocate/lease IP addresses). For example, if their current dynamic IP address is 999.888.777.45, I could guess that a subsequent dynamically assigned IP address would be in the range 999.888.777.2 to 999.888.777.255. With ARD, I could simply scan that range of network addresses using the Scanner and quickly find the ARD client I want.
I tried to do just that, and the ARD scanner did not find my client when I scanned the network range that the ARD client was actually in. It showed other ARD clients (that I do not administer, own, or want to hack into), but not the one I do want to observe/control/maintain (and have a legal right to). Somewhat paradoxically, when I used the Scanner to find the same ARD client by specific IP address, there was no problem.
Why doesn't the ARD Scanner "see" the ARD client when scanning the network range?

My iphone 4 is just showing a black screen with the apple icon. how do i get it to work?

my iphone 4 is just showing a black screen with the apple icon. how do i get it to work?

First, try resetting the phone - press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears.

My ipod all of a sudden blacked out and now it only shows the apple icon. When i press the on/off or home button it still remains with the apple icon. I tried plugging it to my lap top and going to i tunes but it says there is an error in the device

I was looking through my pictures and when i tapped to see a specific one my ipod blacked out. Now the screen only shows the apple icon and I cant go anywhere. I tried preshing the on/off and home button but it won't work. I even pressed both at the same time for 10 seconds and still nothing... I connected it to my lap top and went to my itunes account but it tells me that the device that i just plugged in has an error. I already tried plugging it back in several times and it still won't work. I don't know what else to do. I havn't had it for a whole year yet so its still insured to the apple company right? at least thats what I heard

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

MAC showing up in ARD Admin console with status of unknown

I have one MAC in our fleet that just will not cooperate with ARD, I am running version 3.2.2 of ARD.
I have used the instructions that are posted here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577?viewlocale=en_US) for removing ARD from the client machine. After the removal of ARD I then reboot the client machine and reinstall from the Custom Client Package that I created, this package works flawlessly on all other MAC's in our fleet. This machine however will not cooperate, it shows in the admin console on my machine with an unknown status and a black icon next to it. Dragging it from the Scanner tab into the All Computers tab prompts for the login information, once the login information is provided it works for a minute or so and then adds the machine into the All Computers tab still with an unknown status and black icon. Trying to observe or control this machine fails every single time.
Has anyone else ran into anything like this? If so how can I go about repairing this so that I can successfully manage this machine just like the rest of our machines?
The client machine in question is a MAC Pro, with an Intel Xeon Quad-Core running OSX 10.5.5. I am officially stumped on this one and would greatly appreciate any assistance that can be provided.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks for the ideas, I had checked the firewall back when this issue began and it was off, now I check it this morning and it's on only allowing essential connections. Turned the firewall back off (we have firewalls in place elsewhere) and presto!
Thank you very much, they are all now cooperating!

My lock screen just shows a black background and a User Name/Password dialog after opening the screen from sleep. How do I get it back to where it blurs my desktop image with the dialog and my account image displayed?

I'm not sure when it began, but now my Macbook Air only shows a black background and a User Name and Password dialog box when I wake it from sleep. It used to show my desktop background blurred with my user name and icon displayed with only a text field for entering my password. I'm currently using Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1) and all updates have been done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I know this isn't a real problem, just an annoyance since I couldn't find how to change it back in the System Preferences.

I just have to point out that after looking at a related post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22661092#22661092), it brought to memory that my issue most certainly began happening after I added some DoD certificates to the keychain. This obviously has something to do with it, but it still leaves me wondering what actually causes this to happen. :/

When I boot up my iPhone 4S it shows the Apple icon then goes black for over 30 seconds.

Why does my iPhone 4S, when I turn it on in the morning and it shows the Apple icon, turns complete black for over 30 seconds before I can swipe and log in? This started happening when I upgraded to iOS8

IPhone 5c was powered off; when turned back on screen only shows in black and white. Have tried several times with no success. Any suggestions?

I purchased the iPhone 5c about 4 months ago. I turned it off briefly last night and when I turned it back on, the screen wallpaper and app icons are now in black and white. I have tried turning it off and on again several times with no success; screen still shows only black and white. All other functions of phone/text work correctly. Any suggestions on what to try?

Hello Teri,
You may have greyscale turned on. Try going to Settings > General > Accessibility and toggle that off and it should go back to color. Check out the page below for more information.

HT1267 iphone only showing the apple icon I have done the home button with the sleep to restart it but it's not doing anything

can't locate the serial number the phone only shows the apple icon I charged it. I will only show the apple icon?

If you decide that you want to Restore the iPhone Firmware then. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button for about another 20 seconds, until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. If the iPhone screen is black this is good. Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you get Recovery Mode but the iPhone shows the iTunes screen you can try to Restore, but if it fails, do the instructions again until you get Recovery Mode with black iPhone screen.

BB Curve tried 2 new batteries won't charge - battery icon flashes yellow for few seconds then shows a black plug

BB Curve 9360. Please help.
My 6 month old battery stopped taking a charge. Had left to charge overnight from the mains and phone was dead in morning. Wouldn't turn on or take a charge.
Had a spare battery from before and tried this. Charged to 25% and then showed battery icon with black plug and wouldn't take any more. If unplug and re-plug, shows yellow flash as if charging for a few seconds and then shows black plug. 25% charge runs down very quickly.
Bought a new battery. Exactly same experience. Sometimes gets between 5 - 25% charge but mostly is completely dead and not enough power to get beyond red flashing indicator.
Tried on and off. Tried taking out battery (many times!). Tried taking battery out while charging, waiting 30 seconds and then replacing battery (many times). Tried 3 other chargers, both from mains and from USB.
Have left it plugged in for hours even when showing black plug or just empty red battery - nothing. Just dies completely and hard to get enough power to get started again.
Left it unplugged and without battery for 2 days. Plugged into mains, got yellow flash and then black plug. Every time got black plug would unplug and re-plug to get yellow flashing back. Got it to 80% that time. But now gone back to only reaches 5% or won't take a charge and just red batterys sometimes with black plug or just empty, red flashing indicator.
Plugged into BB desktop manager to back up and checked for software updates. No updates available.
Only thing I can think is mini USB slot on BB is broken and need a new phone. Any ideas of anything else to try before bite the bullet??? Thank you!!

Black screen with Apple icon!!

Is it normal a iPad sometimes are showing the Apple icon,,, without pressing on a Button??? Only Black screen with Apple icon in Bout 5 sec.

If this is appearing it usually means the device is resetting or rebooting. If this is happening at random times and not from input to you, I suggest you have you device examined by an Apple technician. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

TS1702 iPad is not responding. It ONLY shows an iTunes icon and a USB cable in the middle of an all black screen. Have tried to reset it (not responsive), link to iTunes (not recognized), etc.

iPad is not responding. It ONLY shows an iTunes icon and a USB cable in the middle of an all black screen. I have tried to reset it manually and via iTunes (not responsive), linked it to iTunes (not recognized), etc. Nothing works. This happened after an iTunes updated, after I was asked to "restore" my iPad to factory settings.

Thanks, King_Penguin. Yes, I tryied putting the iPad into recovery mode. It freezes in the black screen with the iTunes and USB cable. When I followed the instructions and then started iTunes, I received the following message: "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-424040)".
I have unistalled iTunes three times already and donloaded and installed three new versions. No luck.
Thanks a billion once again!

The firefox window opens with no icons visible, just a black window

Hi,
When I open the firefox browser the window doesn't show me any icons, it's literally a black window.
If I hover over where File or Edit buttons would be I can see a sort of shadow of the options menu that would usually appear, however there are literally no buttons or names visible. I've done the obvious; uninstalled and re-installed, restarted the computer etc.
Please help.
Thanks
Dan

hi dan, this happened with the firefox 33 update, which contains a new technology which will make the browser become more responsive relying on your graphics hardware: http://benoitgirard.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/off-main-thread-compositing-omtc-and-why-it-matters/
however with certain graphic cards & old drivers it unfortunately appears to be buggy and lead to the black screen you've observed.
sorry for the troubles this has caused...
