Can't import...blank white box

Hi,
I can't seem to import anymore. When I try.....nothing happens (such as the genie effect). Then when I move my cursor over the viewer, a large blank white box appears.
I read another thread that suggested getting rid of the plist. So I tried that and still it doesn't work. I also tried rebuilding the library. This didn't solve it either.
I've restarted and repaired permissions on the computer but none of this helped. Any suggestions? Anyone else had this blank white box problem?
Thanks,
jabberwock

I am running 2.1
After examining the situation more.....I see that this problem exists for any kind of import if it involves the Aperture menu. Or maybe I mean importing from within Aperture. So whether I am using a card reader or importing files on the desktop...this causes the problem described above.
However, if I drag a photo into a project in Aperture from anywhere on my HD, then all seems well. I get the usual "import complete" dialog box. The image is imported and no white or grey box obscuring everything else.
After searching the discussions I could only find one other instance of this and it wasn't resolved (in the thread anyway). http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6980776&#6980776
I wish I could figure out what is causing this but at least I can import by dragging "into" Aperture. As long as I do not use the import from within Aperture everything seems okay.

Hi,
Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?

One more thing to try. Double click on the home button. Scroll in that bottom line of icons (swipe finger to left) to the app that are all white. Hold your finger on the app until the - sign appears. Tap it to close the app. Hopefully it will then show up correctly. (As they say about chicken soup curing a cold, "can't hurt")

Creative Cloud App just showing blank white box! Cannot install Photoshop

I'm trying to install a Photoshop trial - have followed instructions to install the CC app. The icon appears on my desktop and a Creative Cloud folder appears in my Explorer folder but when I click on the CC app, all I see is a white box.
Occasionally, I have managed to get list of apps to show - but when I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, again it goes to a blank white box. Can't do anything! No spinning icon showing that something is loading - just blank white.
Very frustrating. Just want to download the trial so I can decide if I want to buy. Am on Windows 8 (64 bit). Have tried uninstalling and re-installing using a different browser (Firefox & Chrome) but still same result.
Please help!!
Thank you,

Hi again Jeff - I just read on a similar thread that another user had the same issue with blank CC app and realised the problem was her username having an ampersand "&"
I have an ampersand also in my username on the computer - do you think this might be affecting the issue?
She gave instructions for changing the username (although the link is for Win 7 and I'm using Win 8) - but I'm nervous about changing big system things like that. What happens to "permissions" on certain folders - am I likely to be locked out of making changes in certain folders?
Here is what she wrote on that thread:
If you have ampersand (&) or other non-alphabet characters in windows user folder name (Example: C:\Users\Bob & Mary), then Flash Builder will fail to install (happened to me), Creative Cloud will display white screen, and/or other miscellaneous problems.
I confirmed this to be true and works:
1) I had blank Creative Cloud window as shown in the first post.
2) I renamed the display username and window user folder name by doing the instructions here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/28/how-to-change-a-windows-account-name-and-user-profile-fol der-name/
(Example: Change from "Bob & Mary" to "Bob n Mary" - without the quotes)
3) After logging back in my newly renamed account, I opened Creative Cloud and login interface shows up! :-)
I would prefer not to do this if you have another suggestion? But just thought I'd mention this as well to see what you thought.
I have also since tried uninstally CC, deleting both the OOBE folder and the AAMUpdater folder, then re-installing CC again... same result. I always get to the list of Apps fine but the minute I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, the whole App window goes to a blank white screen and freezes.
Thank you.

RAW files from my Fujifilm X-Pro1 open with a blank white box

I'm using an iMac running OS X (ver. 10.9.3) and the newest version of PhotoShop CC and have checked to see that the most recent updates are current. In working with RAW files from my Fujifilm X-Pro1 I am able to bring up a RAW (RAF) image from Bridge into the RAW application and make the changes I want. When I try to bring the image from the RAW dialog screen into PhotoShop however, I get only a blank white box. The image does not appear. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I can provide no solution but maybe you should also try
Adobe Camera Raw
Otherwise general trouble-shooting routines might be worth a try:

Fragmented blank white boxes??

Hi, I am experiencing fragmented blank white boxes, particulary on the national lottery website when trying to play certain scratchcards.
When hovering over them with the mouse it eventually blanks out the whole screen. If I rapidly click the mouse I can see the card for a split second or if I scroll the screen up and down fast I can also catch a glimpse.
I have tried all the suggestions on the Flash Player help site. I have unistalled and installed and it has no effect. Any ideas please?!!!!!
Thanks
Frustrated!

What is your operating system, version & edition?

Slideshow won't start-Blank white box opens up

I have 4 separate image galleries on my website.
On all 4 pages, I can successfully open up the slideshow on both my Mac and my PC.
However, on only one of these 4 pages, my mother in law gets a white box that pops up instead of the slideshow when she clicks the button. The other 3 pages work correctly. She has a PC.
Any idea why this might be happening?

I think I found the problem of why I can't access your "Start Slideshow" button...
It looks like there is a textbox or another transparent shape on top of it. The textbox extends from the "Christmas with the Schiros" heading down to just below the level of the "Start Slideshow" button and the blue bar (maybe halfway between the blue bar and the start of the thumbnails). Maybe you can check inside iWeb for this object. I clicked just to the right of the "Start Slideshow" button to find it.
Still doesn't necessarily explain why your MIL is getting a blank white screen. Perhaps she doesn't have javascript turned on in her browser...but then the slideshow window shouldn't even open up.

Add a blank White Box

I did a search in help and could not find the answer to this. I would have though it would have been easy.
How do I add a plain white box on a PDF form I am working on. I need it to cover some text that I have in there. I will then add a user fillable text box over the top
Thanks

You need to use the Redaction tool to remove text. Any other method can be
easily over-turned by anyone with Acrobat and a bit of know-how.

Upgraded iPhone to install iCloud, now icons are blank white boxes

I have been a MobileMe user for 4 years. Since Apple will no longer support MobileMe, I decided to join iCloud. I upgraded my Mac to Lion, no problem. But when I went to upgrade my phone's ios, a dozen of my app icons went blank white. The titles are still there; the apps appear to be working, but the screeen sure looks strange with all these white squares. How can I restore the icon pictorial?

Start with a simple Reset:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
A new sync with iTunes might also be a good idea.

Blank white box for Creative Cloud

My creative cloud will not let me do anything. It is blank white when I start it up. I have restarted the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. It will not even let me sign in. I am also unable to use Muse. It will not let me log in. I uninstalled it but cannot reinstall because I cannot get creative cloud to work. Please help.
Thank you

HT4623 Apps icon there is a blank white box.

When I go to my Apps icon there is a white box in the middle of the screen and will no do anything. Like it is stuck or something.

This is just a guess, but there may be a problem with an extension. Does it happen in [[safe mode]]? To access safe mode in Firefox 4 beta, click the Firefox button, select the Help sub-menu and choose "Restart with Add-ons Disabled".
If the glitch disappears in safe mode, follow the procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article to identify the culprit.

When I open some images, blank white boxes appear on the image past a certain zoom point in random locations. This does not show up in the tools though (liquify, camera filter, ect). how do i stop this from happening?

It happens mostly at random, but once it shows up on an image, even if i close and re open it it will still show up. if i zoom out far enough it will disappear, but as soon as i zoom back in again it will reappear. its never in the same spot on different images and never the same size. i was already on with tech support and they deleted my settings folder which seemed to fix it for a short time (like a week), does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?
*this is not my art, just an example of it happening

it may have worked, but gimping my system isn't exactly a solution, more of a band-aid.
its the equivalent of the old
patient says, " its hurts when i do *this* "
doctor replies," well, don't do that "
What do you mean "it may have worked" – did it or did it not?
Anyway it is not a remedy but diagnostics and if it makes a difference it points at the GPU driver as a likely culprit.

Down-level Poster.png just a white box on IE8

Hi everyone,
I've created a very simple Edge Animate banner consisting of a background image and two layers of text that fade in, it shows up perfectly in everything except for (understandably) IE8 and I assume IE7, all I see is a white box.
I inserted the animation via Dreamweaver using Insert/Media/Edge Animate Composition, it went into a "mainbanner" div with CSS:
#mainbanner {
          clear:both;
          width: 1000px;
          margin: 0 auto;
          border: 0;
          padding: 10px;
These code lines have been inserted into the <head> section of the Dreamweaver template and subsequent index.php page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
This code was applied to the "mainbanner" div by Dreamweaver after doing Insert/Media/Edge Animate Composition:

<object id="EdgeID" name="EdgeID" type="text/html" width = "1020" height ="437" data ="../edgeanimate_assets/jb_mainbanner/Assets/jb_mainbanner.html" >
</object></div>
Don't know why the animation that has 1000px width has a width of 1020px shown in code when imported yet shows correctly as 1000px in the browser but hey!
I've checked that the down-level poster (Poster.png) I created has been linked to the animation; has been uploaded to the web server; is showing the appropriate static version of the animation but after one whole night of trying everything I can think of all I still get on IE8 is a white box!
Can someone please give me some help with this, many thanks in advance.
Chris

I've just made the Poster.png appear on IE8 by extending the CSS #mainbanner width to 1020px (despite the image being 1000px) and removing the padding temporarily. However two issues still remain:
The image is now not aligned with the header and footer so I need to insert padding again plus there is a still a white box behind the .png that I simply don't want!
At least I have made some progress since waking up this morning with a fresh head!
How can I remove the white box that looks like a placeholder behind the static png on IE8?

FLV video is showing as white box

Hi everyone
I am really puzzled here
I have converted video to FLV format and when I go into
dreamweaver 8 / CS3 I go to the top menu, select insert, then
select flash video
I select the file I am using
I then select auto detect for the video to be the original
window size
Then it inserts fine but when I preview in dreamweaver or
preview in HTML... I do not see any video or play buttons
All I get is a blank white box where the flash video was
inserted
Please can anyone help on why this is happening
Thanks

You have to use either a browser or an FLV player to preview
FLV format .
.you can't preview it in the tool itself. You also have to
upload the
supporting files .. my guess is that the one you missed was
the Scripts
folder and script that is placed in it when you embed the FLV
in the page.
