Can't get screen to show after login

Hello,
I just purchased the the software upgrade and I get the loading screen, but then my screen just flickers after. Often I see my desktop, but it isn't on my screen long enough for me to even read it. I have a Mac mini from 2009, and just a regular monitor from one of my old pcs.
Please help me!

Turns out my problem appears to be the USB 2.0 Hub I was using. When I hooked the printer up directly to the iMac, it works as advertised. I wonder what is the issue with USB hubs and 10.5.6? It worked fine with 10.4.11. Any ideas about this one?
Thanks
Rod

  • Can't get printers to show after installing 10.5.6

    I've tried everything to get my Canon iP6700D connected after installing 10.5 over 10.4.11. Nothing has worked. I downloaded the latest driver for Mac from Canon (version 583). I've trashed the Canon files in Library, Receipts, Preferences before reinstalling the driver. I repaired permissions using Disk Utility. I've called Apple Care. I used their sequence to power everything off and on. They finally said I needed to do an erase and reinstall of 10.5. Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Rod

  • Can't get flashplayer to show after multiple downloads

    I have downloaded flashplayer multiple times for Windows 7, Enternet explorer.  After each down load it says it was successful and that I am now running flashplayer.  When I go to complete my task it still tells me I need to download flash player. I have been at this for two days now and done everything on the help tab.  I still am unable to complete my task.  HELP!  BTW I am completely computer ignorant, so be kind.  Thank you.

  • I can't get the tv shows to play... just getting a black screen.

    I can't get the tv shows to play... just getting a black screen. HELP!!!!!

    caddis,
    I am getting the EXACT same problem.  I started to watch an iTunes purchased TV Show episode back on February of 2014.  I stopped after about 15 minutes to come back and watch it later.
    Yesterday, I tried to continue the tv show, and NOTHING.  All I get is a black screen with no audio.  The time bar is advancing, so iTunes thinks it is playing.   BUT NOTHING.
    Can anyone assist with this problem?
    PS:  I use my iTunes on my PC only, and have for years without this problem. 
    PC is fully HDCP compliant.
    Intel i7-4770K
    Windows 7 Professional

  • After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • I have trouble getting the scrubber bar to show. How can I get it to show on my screen?

    I have trouble getting the scrubber bar to show on my screen. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. How can I get it to show on the screen whenever I want. Nothing in my manual answers that question.

    The Users Guide says:
    Additional audio controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.

  • My iphoto is behind my docking and I can't get it to show on the screen

    I Photo is open on my screen but it is not visible and I can't get it to show
    It's below my dock at the bottom of my screen
    I can't get it to stay open when I press F3
    Help!!!!

    Try Relaunch Finder.
    type: command, option, esc (three keys together).
    in the new pane that comes up, click once on Finder, then click Relaunch.

  • I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image to my TV by clicking fn F3.  If I hold the mouse on the imovie icon for a few seconds the imovie window opens but if I click anywhere on the window it disappears

    I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image from my macbook pro to the tv screen like I have done many times before.  If I double click on the imovie icon, imovie doesn't open, but the strip across the top shows iMovie, file, edit , clip, view, text share window help tabs across the top.  The iMovie window will appear if I click on the iMovie icon on the dock for a few seconds, or if I do control F3 at the same time, but when I click on the window it disappears.  When I hover the mouse over the iMovie window that appears the window has a blue border around it.  when I move the mouse outside the iMovie window the blue border goes away.  If I sweep 4 fingers from the top of the screen down, the screen dims a little but the iMovie window doesn't appear. If I click play under the view tab I can hear audio, but still no iMovie window.  It's as if the window is being blocked by the desk top somehow.

    I purchased five movies for download and having nothing but problems getting them downloaded. I keep receiving error messages and the download stops and I have to restart it, just to get another minute worth of download with each restart. Now Apple has my money and I have nothing.

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

  • How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

    How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

    You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud.  (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • Can't get wallpaper to show up in the background on my iPhone 3G

    Can't get wallpaper to show up in the background on my iPhone 3G????
    I have tried everything I can think of. But for some reason Apple has not made this easy to do. I just can't seem to get a Wallpaper to show up in the background. I can get it to show up on the lock screen, but that's it. Am I missing something? Has any one fond this simple feature hard to figure out?

    WHAT! Oh, come on. This was the only reason I was interested in iOS4. I mean really I knew a lot of features wouldn't work cause of the lack of procesor speed, but the Walpaper is just a static graphic, what is so hard with that? I mean three OS's ago I hacked my iPhone and got that feature working. Apple did the pooch on this one. I hope this is not like holding back features like they do on cars to sell the over priced ones.
    Gee! I am so ******! I spent a living H E Double Hocky Sticks trying to get the darnm OS on my iPhone and none of the features except the very poorly implemented folder or is tit a tray directory thing. Well it's back to OS 3 and hacking it to get it to work properly.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I just bought quicktime pro and can't get it to show up in my system preferences.

    i just bought quicktime pro and can't get it to show up in my system preferences. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    QuickTime only appears on System Preferences if you are running Mac OS X Leopard, and you have OS X Mountain Lion.
    In Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer, QuickTime Player 7 isn't included, so you have to install it before getting QuickTime 7 Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3678
    After installing QuickTime Player 7, you have to activate it in order to get QuickTime 7 Pro. In that link, follow the steps under "Information for QuickTime 7 Pro users"

    Hi, Jjenjen30. 
    Thanks for the question and I believe we have a solution.  The best option would be to delete the movie that is giving you an issue and redownload it via the iTunes store past purchase option.  I have included a couple articles that will show you how to process these steps.

    If this does not resolve the issue, then iTunes might need to be notified to let them know there is a problem with the content.  I have included the steps on how to let them know.
