Blank messages appearing

Messages are appearing that have nothing in them. For instance, I can have a message from "Joe" that shows up in the list of messasges. Then later, if I open the messages app, there will be the original message from "Joe" and another message from "Bob" that has no content. The blank messages are from other iMessage users, so I am wondering if they are showing up because someone is starting a message with me, but never finishing it? Any ideas?

Each operating system forum has its own Mail / address book sub-forum.
You would probably get better response posting there.
Good Luck.

Display video on time line is blank (white) Error message appears

Display video on time line is blank (white) Error message appears stating display drivers are incompatible. Upgrade Display Drivers. According to computer software all drivers are current

VDOSurger
Back in the days of Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 BadDrivers.txt file took on a life of its own after I started the following thread on that display card error.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3177024
The following is a significant excerpt from that thread in which Daksha123 went into BadDrivers.txt file and what it is all about
(It was/is my understanding the Daksha123 was writing at the time from Adobe.) Dakasha in an earlier post in that thread gave the BadDriver.txt deletion fix which worked for me and so many others. Mine at least on a permanent basis.
Dakaha123 wrote:
If GPU card is available on a system, PRE9 uses that card for faster and smoother playback. If the driver version installed on the mechine is not compatible with PRE9, that driver version is stored in BadDrivers.txt file and then PRE9 runs in pure software mode to avoid any further crashes/problems due to that bad driver. It generally happens when driver promises to support some GPU capabilities but actually doesn't support those capabilities at all...
In this scenario, PRE9 shows a warning message to users that driver installed on the machine is not compatible and user should update display driver. Generally updating to latest display driver should solve this problem: if latest driver is compatibe with PRE9, PRE9 will run in normal mode with faster and smoother playback. (As in case of Hunt & jjjbbbqqq)
Sometimes, as in case of Ron, even the latest driver shows *inconsistent* incomaptibility with PRE9. And in this case deleting "BadDrivers.txt" file should work.
If an user is observing consistent incompatibility (even after deleting "BadDrivers.txt" file the same message pops up again) with the latest driver then that driver is really a bad driver for PRE9 and with that driver PRE9 will always run in pure software mode. There is a very little probability of this kind of card and driver.
So in summary,
if user is getting warning message : "We have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver "
1. User should try to get the latest driver for the card available on those systems,
2. If user is getting same message again even after updating the driver, try to re-launch app after deleting BadDrivers.txt file,
3. If even deleting “BadDrivers.txt” is not working and they are again getting same message, then that driver is really a bad driver for PRE9. PRE9 will run in pure software mode in that case.

IPhoto shared messages appear blank

If I use share from iPhoto, the recipient often times gets a lengthy blank message. It seems like it's waiting for the images to download, but they never show up.
Are there any solutions?
Thanks!
OS X and iPhoto fully up to date

So we know that it is not an iPhoto issue but an issue with the receiver
One thing to do is set Mail as the e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and when you create the message under the Mail format menu set the format to plain text - this is the simplest type of email that works with the most systems

Mail regularly open the new blank message window

After Mail initial start the programm opens a new blank message window. When I try to close it I receive the message "Do you want to save it as a draft and work on it later?"
The new blank message window appears regularly every 4-5 minutes. How can I fix it? And thanks in advance for response and help.

Do you see the Outbox in Mail? Does it contain any messages?

The sharepoint my company uses no longer works properly with firefox, only a blank page appears, is there a fix for this?

Hello,
We currently use Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and it doesn't seem to be compatible with the latest version of Firefox (33). When I try to open a sharepoint page, only a blank page appears. I do not get any error messages. The sharepoint works with other browsers, such as Chrome.
Is there a work around available so that we may continue to use Firefox?
Thank you!

Do either of these typical troubleshooting steps make any difference?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the globe or padlock to the left of the address in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Blank conversation appearing in iMessage

Yesterday I deleted a phone number and the entire message thread from my iMessage. Tonight the contact reappeared in my iMessage, but there was no message with it. It just appears as an unsaved contact and an empty conversation. Any ideas?

This happened to me as well. I received an imessage with no text and no air bubble and just the contact name at the top/ Since there is no was to send/get a blank SMS, i believe this is an imessage issue. I believe that if you deleted a message thread from someone and then, providing that your iphone and the other persons iphone is able to imessage and has imessage turned on, you will get a blank imessage if that other person reopened the old message thread on their phone and/or was about to type you something but didn't. I think it is because imessage sends your iphone a blank message window to reopen a 'potential' imessage conversation, even though one wasn't started and nothing was typed. I tested this with a friend. After receiving a blank imessage from someone, I was curious, so I deleted a message thread with someone who i can send imessages with. I then had them reopen the conversation and start to type but not send something. I then received the same blank imessage window from them on my iphone, which confirms this explanation.

Trying to update my Iphone 4 on Itunes on Windows XP but a message appears that says "unable to update IPhone. Please check network settings/config., etc...or try again later". Please help

Need to update my IPhone 4 and connected to the itunes on windows XP. I clicked on update and waited. A message appears that says," Cannot update etc. Please check your network settings/config., etc... or try again later" and it's been happening for a while. Please help.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

What causes blank pages appearing suddenly in an autoflowed-text document?

CS5.5, english version.
The complete book was built-up and all master pages were applied . When reopening the file, several blank pages appeared at two places in the document. The text flow was not interrupted, but seamed «hidden» under a non-existing white layer. The software showed «Master page applied», but the pages were blank, imposible to select any object or to place a new text frame. It was also impossible to reapply the master page (the pages were still blank after). We could not access the hidden part of text, even if it was obviously still present, and we had no choice but rebuild a new document.
We don't know what caused this very disturbing bug, and we would avoid it to reappear again! If someone knows a trick, you're welcome!
Version : Indesign CS 5.5, en anglais.
Le livre était monté en entier avec pages maîtresses appliquées. Lors d'une réouverture du fichier, plusieurs pages vides sont apparues, à deux endroits dans le document. Le texte n'était pas interrompu, mais semblait «caché» sous un calque blanc. Le logiciel affichait l'icône de la page maîtresse appliquée, mais la page demeurait vide. Impossible de sélectionner une boîte de texte ni de parvenir à réappliquer la page maîtresse. Nous n'avons pas réussi à accéder à la portion de texte «cachée» sous ces pages vides, bien qu'elle n'ait de toute évidence pas été perdue.
Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autre solution que de recommencer le montage à zéro à partir d'un nouveau document, mais nous ne savons pas ce qui a causé ce problème, ni comment éviter qu'il survienne à nouveau.
Si quelqu'un a déjà rencontré cette anomalie et peut m'informer, bienvenue!

I'm afraid I don't have any good news for you, though I was able to get the text to reappear by deleting the blank pages and inserting new ones, then rethreading. Youy could do this, but I suspect it is a short-term fix that won't last a day and more important, that output will fail.
ID seems to think the frames on the blank pages are lines with astronomically long lengths and they seem to be sheared as well. Needless to say that seems to be some sort of corruption in the file. The reason that I don't have good news is that I've been completely unable to export anything useful for repair out of the file and reimport it-- neither .idml or tagged text. In all cases I get an error message that the either the file does not exist, it is in use or I don't have permission. I know the files exist -- I can open the text file in a text editor, and I can see the components of the .idml file if I change the extension to .zip, but I can't convince any version of ID to access either of them.
I looked through the file history and noticed that this file began life as a CS4 file that was converted to CS5.5 in August of 2011. I think that's the source of the problem. From time to time we get reports of unexplainable glitches or files that will not output, or just refuse to open at some point, even though they were fine hours earlier, and quite often it turns out that these are legacy files that were directly updated in a newer version. Because of this I now recommend that all legacy files that are to be converted be exported to .inx or .idml from the original version, then that exported file should be opened in the new version.
Actually I had one more thought, and it seems to have been at least partly successful. As I mentioned, I was able to export the main story to InDesign Tagged Text and open that in a text editor (Notepad in this case, since I'm on PC). I tried saving the file from notepad with a new name and lo and behold I can now import it into a new file or use it to replace the text in the original. I tried the replacement, and exporting another .idml. but that still fails to reopen, so the corruption is not in the text of the main story. A .idml file export from a new .indd with the resaved tagged text placed in it also is working.
This means you actually have a good shot at rebuilding this file fairly quickly. Export the stories to tagged text, open those in a plain text editor of your choice and resave as plain text, then place them into a new document with the same page dimensions and margins (rebuild the master pages from scratch in the new file). Make a backup copy of the file with just the text, and make sure it is working properly and that you can export to .idml and PDF, then add the images and check again. I think this is going to work, though it may take a few hours.
DON'T overwrite any of the files you have already -- use new names, and do a save As a the end of each session or at any major change point adding a version number to the name so you have a good backup version chain in case something goes wrong again. Good luck.

High processor use and blank messages in Yosemite mail

Hello
I am noticing very high processor use from Yosemite Mail, and I am also having problems with blank messages.
Under Mavericks, I had a problem where I double click on a mail message to open it. The message would flash on the screen for a moment and then disappear. The message in my inbox would be marked as read. I could then open it again and read it normally. Over time, I tracked this down as having to do with Mail doing anything else when I requested to open the email. For instance, if I delete a message and then immediately try to open the next message, the problem would occur. If I waited 5 seconds or so, then opened the next message, the problem would not occur.
Now, under Yosemite, I find that if I open a message quickly after performing another task, the message window is blank and never fills in. I can close that message window and open it again, it may work, or it may still be blank. I have found where certain messages appear to be stuck and will open blank until I open a different message and then come back to the problem message.
I have also noticed that Mail under Yosemite appears to use very high percentages of processor time. Checking the activity monitor, Mail is third behind WindowServer and kernel_task for processor usage. And I have another question on the community about my system running hot with the fan spooling up and down constantly under Yosemite, something that almost never happened under any of the previous OS's going back to Snow Leopard.
Any idea what is going on with the Mail app in Yosemite? I was excited about Mail finally advancing in capability, but it seems to have come at a cost..... Come on Apple - Mail needs to catch up with Outlook!

I also have this problem since Yosemite upgrade. Infuriating because I can't just read incoming emails anymore. It seems to be specific to one email account and doesn't necessarily cause a problem with others. When this happens, (showing the content for a second then disappearing), there is a segmentation fault reported in the error log.
For me, this is a category one critical business problem. If I can't read and reply to incoming email reliably on my computer, I will need to switch to another system or device that can.
24/10/2014 14:51:34.839 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent) The _DirtyJetsamMemoryLimit key is not available on this platform.

Good news is that the email app does seem to work a bit quicker than before using Mavericks where it could hang for 10-20 seconds for no particular reason.
Hope this can be fixed or a workaround posted soon.

Blank message box in FireFox

Hello everyone!
I experience a very annoying problem when trying to view a PDF file on the Internet. When I click on a link to open a PDF a blank message box appears and the PDF file does not load...
I am running on Windows 7 x64 bits and FireFox 3.5.7. My version of Adobe Reader is 9.2.
Oh, also, sometimes after spamming the link to get it open the PDF finally open without any problem... but it can takes like 10-20 tries. I did try to re-install Adobe Reader without much success, and no it's not the PDF file having a problem since it happens with every of them and that I'm not having those troubles in my other PCs.
I hope you can help me guys

Up! Anyone can give me a hand?

Mail is creating blank messages in the Notes:On My Mac folder.

Mail is creating blank messages in my Notes:On My Mac folder
It is currently doing it every 3 seconds. So after 5 minutes I have 100 new notes.
Does anyone know how to make this stop?
Some observations:
The notes only get created if Mail is open.
The messages appear blank and are interpreted by mail as messages, not as notes, and have the following headers:
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v928.1)
Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII
X-Universally-Unique-Identifier: ac371d40-78ea-44de-b2b4-1cf93a1e5c60
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I see correlated CPU usage bursts in Activity Monitor for: distnoted (~0.8%), Mail (~50%), SyncServer (~60%), fseventsd (~0.4%), Finder (~1%).
The notes get created regardless of the presence or absence of a network connection.
On my other iMac the same problem exists but the frequency is lower: a pair of notes is created every 15 minutes or so. The problem also exists on my MacBook Pro.
The frequency on this iMac was lower when I first noticed the problem.
I am a .Mac/MobileMe user and all three computers are registered for synchronization.
Has anyone seen this problem?

Hello David,
I had a much more acute version of this problem on both my Macs. I first mentioned this problem here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7752479#7752479
The only thing that worked for me was disabling Notes syncing and deleting all my Notes. This is not an ideal solution but to have a functional computer I had to take that drastic step (after trying many remedies offered on this forum).

Blank Messages

A large number of my messages appear to be blank. I have a Smart Mailbox set up to see mails older than one year, and these messages appear in that list. They display the correct From and Subject, but the entire message is totally blank. But probably the most telling thing is that there is no Mailbox listed for these messages - they appear to be somehow 'lost'. I have indeed done some recent moving around of mailboxes and archiving of old mail to mboxes, but I hadn't expected this problem, and I don't remember how I used to have things arranged so I can't revert. How can I recover the content of these emails?

not too sure.. you could try making a backup of your /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Mail folder and then recreate your account / reimport your emails.

After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
Good luck
