Black screen/white circles in upper left when testing iPad3 Retina app (Air 3.3)
I'm developing for iOS, particularly the iPad 3, on Windows. I downloaded the AIR 3.3 SDK and added it to Flash Pro CS6 per this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4583745#4583745
My app runs fine in Air 3.2 but you can't run apps at Retina resolution with 3.2. If I compile the app with 3.3, it compiles dramatically faster (roughly 10x faster) but when I try to run it on the iPad, all it displays is a black screen, with five small white circles in a horizontal line in the upper left corner of the screen. The circles are animated like an old console progress indicator, cycling through showing one, two, three, four, then all five of them.
I've tried Googling this but if I search "white dots" I get dead pixels, and a bunch of miscellaneous unrelated results if I search "white circles". Does anyone know what might cause this issue or a solution for it?
It turns out you have to enable SWC in the Publish settings for a Retina/iOS5.1 app to work. You don't need the SWC under AIR3.2.

Black screen white cursor hell
The computer is a Sony Viao VGC-R210G running Windows XP Media with 4 GB RAM and an NVIDIA G8500 with a Matrox card.
On running Premiere Pro CS4, the program will appear to be running normally, then crashes and provides an error window. The OS then reboots itself. The Windows splash screen comes up and everything appears to be ready to boot, but all that is displayed is a black screen with a white moveable cursor. There is no way to get back to normal Windows operation after this, short of reloading the OS.
Believe me, I've tried.
This has happened twice -- huge pain in the *** reloading my drives.
Pardon me for being such a n00b, but if one is uploading an Adobe update of a Creative Suite, is it advisable to delete the original Adobe suite apps after the upgrade? It's just an intuitive guess, but I feel as though the two versions of Premiere are not playing nicely together. (I'm not launching them at the same time, but are they sharing resources that are different versions with the same name?)Bill Gehrke wrote:
Could this be another case of Matrox card problems? Did you update at least to the latest Matrox drivers?
Thanks for the hint, Bill.
No. The last update of the Matrox drivers was 2007 when I got the card. Perhaps I should scan the forums for Matrox horror stories to see if these might apply.
I tend to doubt it though. On the last upload, Matrox wouldn't allow me to load the drivers until I had loaded Premiere Pro. I never got around to it before the black screen brought everything to a screeching halt.
On my Google quest to avoid reloading my drive, I found this black screen white cursor problem seems to be common, but the causes and solutions seem to be all different. Microsoft doesn't have any technical articles on it at all. The common element in my case was, unambiguously, use of Premiere Pro CS4. -
I updated my phone overnight and now I can't get it to come on. I've tried everything, I have a black screen, white apple and a mine below that looks like it's trying to load but it has stopped. HELP!
You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
So far I have tried the following to no avail:
Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
Reinstalled the latest itunes.
Reset the ipod.
Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one. -
How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when unplugged, Splash screen freeze, HEAT-UP TO BOOT
BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-powe
Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power.
I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears, and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine.
Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling, so I'm putting 2 together.
Errors:
I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B. I ended up changing a setting in BIOS from AHCI to Compatibility Mode, and I passed everything without the BSOD again. I have always had it on AHCI.
I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
BIOS:
Also, the time was set to 1988 or something in the BIOS.
Event Viewer events found:
1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)
"The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
"LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the driver wasnt made for the system, or that it wasnt compatible or something, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish after install. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine oddly. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on. No problem at all.
MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

You wont get good Nvidia ones on Ebay/forumes anywhere.
I'd beg to differ on both accounts.
*61 series nVidia-based ThinkPads from late January through July of 2008 are a 50/50 shot, since the old chips were mixed with the new ones. Any machine built in August and later can be deemed "safe".
As for the forums (I don't do feebay) there are people who sell genuine, properly-tested planars. However, these do not come at bargain basement prices, and with a good reason if I may add.
Good luck.

White spot in upper left hand corner appears when changing apps since iOS7
When I upgraded to iOS7 on my iPhone 4S a bright white spot started to appear in the upper left corner when I change apps. It is random when I happens. I was hoping it would stop when I moved to the 5s, but it is still happening. Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks!
diesel: Please read the experience others had before advising. The person above even changed his phone. THe only thing that fixed it for him for was not migrating his apps, while the solution is not that extreme, it is related to the app icons you have.
This is an issue with the apple zoom feature when you open apps. Depending on which app icon is where on the screen makes a difference. Reseting, rebooting, updating are no help if the icons are still in the same place.
To reproduce on any iphone 5/5s with ios 7 place the google maps app in the second row and second column of the first page. Open the yelp app, not from the multi-tasking screen, but search for it in the search bar and open it. you'll see a disc on the top right corner. Also, when you close the app by pressing the home button, you'll see it again.

Bootcamp black screen white cursor on trying to install
I have an early-2008 imac 24inch which had WIndows 7 installed along with Snow Leopard. My iMac broke this month and was sent in for a repair and the graphics card Nvidia 8800 GS was replaced with the same again. Also, Snow Leopard was installed freshly.
When i received the iMac back it was formatted back all to one partition and only Snow Leopard was on there.
I bagan by trying to Partition my drive using Bootcamp, giving the same size as i had before (125gb). All went well and was successful. I then inserted my Windows 7 disk (the same one i used last time) and clicked "install and restart".
Upon my mac restarting it boots from the disk as expected but rather than going into the set up process... it merely hangs on a screen which is black with a white line cursor on the top left flashing.
Nothing happens atall from then on. Just that same screen.
I have tried a new install of snow leopard, ive tried to re format my hard drive and then do bootcamp from scratch again etc. Nothing seems to work. I have even burnt a new copy of my Windows 7 disk but to no avail. I would normally not care about windows being on my machine but I currently need it for my work.
I have tried to find a solution to the problem but i have come across none yet... Loads of people seem to have the problem though but no one has a way of fixing it.
I have also tried to install from different copies of windows such as XP and Vista and still no good. Along with trying to do a normal restart and boot from the CD from holding Alt and again from holding 'C'.
I dont understand how it can suddenly not work from a graphics card being replaced.
Apple have said that it is not their problem once bootcamp is involved... great...
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks, Justin.Same issue here. Very similar 24" iMac, developed the issue after service under AppleCare. In my case the HDD had died, and was replaced with a new 640GB disk.
Any attempt to boot Windows installation media results in the black text-mode screen, with a single flashing cursor in the upper left.
In my case, I've tried several different installation CDs, including XP SP2, XP SP3, Vista32, Vista64, Win7 32, Win7 64. (Having a MSDN account with access to download installation CD images helps ;P ) Despite all of these successfully booting in my MBP, as well as VMWare Fusion, none will successfully boot the iMac either before or after partitioning via BootCamp.
Some others on these forums have reported success by zapping PRAM during each reboot. This has not made a difference for me.
Still others found that removing any USB devices other than keyboards/mice from the machine prior to booting got them through. This also made no difference for me.
I've also wiped the disk completely (zeroing for good measure), laid down a new partition table, reinstalled 10.6 clean, installed updates, and immediately gone into BootCamp (before restoring any apps or data). No change.
I'm at a loss as to what can be tried next. Nothing seems to make a difference. -
Black screen, Grey Circle and an exclamation mark! Why?
I'm using iPhoto 09. I can view photos as thumbnails in all Events. But when I click on them I get a black screen with a grey circle and an exclamation mark. This only happens on some events, not all. Whats happened?
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

TouchSmart 320-1050 Win7 Pro After Windows update, login results in a black screen + white cursor
Hi ...
After some Microsoft automatic upgrades were done om my HP TouchSmart 320-1050 this week, when I logged in after the reboot, all I got was a blank (black) screen and a white arrow cursor, which worked fine -but there was nothing -no video output on the screen. Even a <CTL><ALT><DEL> did not bring anything up on the screen and I had to force the system down with a hard power down. I tried with user logins and Administrator login but the behaviour was the same.
I could boot and get a picture in SAFE mode but not with a normal boot and login. There were NO ERRORS in the Windows event logs that seemed to shed any light on the issue.
The system was shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium however I upgraded to Windows 7 Pro so I could join my domain.
I couldn't diagnose the problem -with nothing showing on my screen- so last night I check what updates were installed to see about de-installing them from Safe mode.
After de-installing the most recent Microsoft HotFix (KB2679255) and rebooting .... POOF! I had my desktop displayed again after I logged in.
I don't know what piece of software was interacting with this HotFix - but thought I should post the issue, just in case someone else encountered the problem... or someone in HP Support wants to investigate ... (Let me know and I'll supply what info I can.)
Thanksthanks for letting folks know.
