I just had my hard drive replaced, and now when I am online get a black screen when trying to open a pdf. Any help would be appricated

I'm getting a black/blank screen when trying to open a Pdf. off the internet. Can some one please tell me what to do to fix this? I just had my hard drive replaced and never had this problem before. Thank you

try downloading adobe acrobat reader and installing it......

Why do I get black screen when trying to view a pdf in Safari?

I've re-installed the Adobe plug-in. I know a pdf is downloaded since I can save the black screen then open and actually view the pdf with Preview. So it's there but I can't view it.

The plugin is incompatible. Delete it and relaunch Safari.

Black screen when trying to boot into Windows 7

Hello everyone.
Today we've encountered an issue with one of our MacBook Pros with Windows 7 installed. The computer was booted into Windows 7 (it's strictly used as a Windows machine by this particular user) and after a time of inactivity it went to sleep. It wouldn't wake up from it's sleep so we tried a hard boot. At that point we would get the grey screen, the Apple tone wouldn't sound off and it would just go to a black screen (by default we have it booting to windows). So then we reset the PRAM. Now, we get the apple tone and we can boot into the Mac side. But when we try and boot into Windows, we get a blank screen.
What's even more interesting, if I try and boot into a Windows install disk to do a boot repair, it gives me a black screen. If I even try to boot from a live Linux cd, I get a blank screen! When important thing I then noticed was that the cd spinned for a couple minutes, then stopped. So I began to wonder if it was still loading the OS like expected, but just wasn't displaying it.
So I booted into Windows, got the blank black screen. Then I went into another computer, fired up remote desktop and voila! I'm in the machine!
So the problem is this: When booting into ANYTHING other than OS X, the display turns off.
What can we do?

Hello there,
I have a similar problem! Windows 7 shutdown unexpectedly and since that I can not reboot in windows anymore only with safe mode where everything is a mess.
Also when it's trying to reboot in windows a blue window appears,says something about drivers and it is counting something (79.78...till100)but I m not able to read it cause it disappears immidiately and then black screen and then it turns to reboot in mac which works fine.
I m sorry if I confused you with my english...
If anyone knows please help!
Thanks

No LED light on front and black screen when trying to start up

Not sure why started my Mac just like everyday and I noticed it had frozen on start up screen was shaky but froze none the less. I tried to restart with the button on the front and nothing but the hard drive kicking in and the light on the button won't stay on like when it is up and running but will flash if you hold it and try restarting. Tried hooking up other monitor and the other monitor won't display so I don't think it is the monitor and like I said I can hear the hard drive and computer come on I just have a black screen and no lighted button on the front. Anybody have any suggestions. My iMac G3 is a 600mhz graphite running 10.4 and classic 9.2 but very rarely do I use the classic on that one as I have another just like it and they were networked together this one is fine. Help!!
iMac G3 600mhz Graphite Mac OS X (10.4.3) also runs classic 9.2

Thanks but that wasn't it. I replaced the battery and reset the PMU, still no luck. I've tried hooking up an external monitor still nothing, in doing all of this the person helping and I noticed that when you push the button on front to power up it doesn't light but I'm also not getting a start up chime, only the click of the hard drive then in pushing the button to power it off the light will blink and I think it is shutting down. Any other suggestions.
Thanks

MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB - Black Screen When trying to load games

Ok so I've been trying to figure this out the past 2 weeks and cant figure out whats wrong.
Whenever I try and load a game more my screen goes black and I can hear sound but nothing is is being displayed. I cant task manager out or ALR-TAB out. It just sits there and I have to power down my computer manually.
I've re-installed the drivers and have tried a different power supply since those are the 2 things I thought it would be and nothing is working.
Any help would be very much appreciated

Uninstall current driver in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<<. After reboot install current MSI driver: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/nvidia_33165_v7864_vga.zip
Did it twice and it still gives me a black screen when going into a full screen on games.

Has anyone encountered an "exclamation point" in a white circle centered on a black screen when trying to edit a photo?

Has anyone encountered an "exclamation point symbol" in a gray circle surrounded by a black screen when editing in iphoto?

Yes.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Black screen when trying to edit a photo

When my wife attempts to edit a photo in iPhoto the photo area goes black:. she is running the latest iPhoto on a MacBook running Lion

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Black screen when installing Windows XP on new Boot Camp partition

I just upgraded my iMac Intel Alum to Leopard and used Boot Camp to create the Windows partition. When I try to install Windows XP from the install disk, I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. Is it having trouble finding the Boot Camp partition for the Windows install? Everything else is working fine. Leopard still boots okay and everything works in Mac OS - I just can't get to the next step of installing Windows.
Thanks in advance,
David

When I say disk image, I mean a copy of a friend's Windows XP install disk . Even though it's a copy, it boots a PC fine. Any reason why it wouldn't work on the Mac?

My laptop won't boot-up,won't let me get to the boot menu . can anyone help me,please.

Laptop won't boot-up,won't bootmenu.

Hi Willrobb1,
I understand your computer will not boot up. Restart your computer and keep press F9 to open the "Boot Menu" or "Boot Device Options". Press Enter to continue.
Here is a document on system restore if you need it. You can restore it to a previous point when it was working correctly.

Black screen when trying to access the web

I'm having problems accessing the web on my 2nd generation iPod Touch. When I tap on the 'Safari' icon I get a black screen. The WiFi is working fine; I can access and use my Facebook, WeatherBug, Google Earth using their icons no problem, for example. It's when I tap on the Safari I get a black screen. There is a full signal.
Thanks for you help.

I have tried to restore your iPod yet? You could start with a reset (Home and Sleep/Wake buttons held down until you see the Apple logo) but I think you are going to have to restore (via iTunes). When prompted to restore from a backup or new, start with backup so you won't lose anything.
