Grid in Spaces gone (dark; no blue rectangles)

Please see attached link to screenshot of my Spaces grid, or to be more precise: lack thereof (grid that is). I have 16 spaces, but the grid has disappeared. The grid appears as is in the screenshot, regardless of how many spaces I use. How do I get the proper grid back? I see no settings to control this, so I figure something is off.
Screenshot: http://cl.ly/2GZ2

Just to illustrate: when doing a slow transition to Spaces (using Shift+F8 to slow down the process), one clearly can clearly see that the grid is present during the transition. But as Spaces completes it's "loading process", it fades to black, eliminating the grid. When reverting, you can also clearly see the grid during the fade out. I'm not sure if it matters, but I have my 32" Samsung hooked up as well. Used to work before doing a clean install of OS X due to unrelated issues.
Proper order for the screenshots is as follows:
1. http://cl.ly/2HPg (Spaces during transition)
2. http://cl.ly/2GZ2 (Spaces fully loaded)
Hopefully someone will pick up on this. Crossing my fingers!
Thanks!

Screen has gone dark blue

it started as green specs and weird resolution, now it's just gone dark blue. No nothing. Am I toast?

Have you tried rebooting? Hold down on the power/sleep button and the home button until the Apple logo appears on the screen? It raises about 10 seconds or so.
If that doesn't work, restore the iPad via iTunes on your computer.
I dont know what else to try other than restoring the device if rebooting doesn't work.

Blue rectangle instead of the image showing

When I try to edit photos in Develop all that displays is a blue rectangle as shown here.

Having just installed Firefox my screen has gone dark. Can I brighten the screen or not use it as my main Browser?

Having just installed Firefox for the 1st time my screen has gone dark. I am on a MAC which also has Safari on it. I have made the Firefox the main Browser. Can I make my screen brighter or should I take off Firefox.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. From the troubleshooting you performed and the hotness I suspect a hardware proboem.

Blue rectangle moving across the screen

Hi,
Recently I installed ios7 in my iPod touch 5th generation.
After installing this os, I was having a problem of blue rectangle moving across the screen. This usually comes if I connect the device to wifi.
Did anybody faced the same issue?
Regards,
Santhosh

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker, like a colour burn but also a bit washed out. Can anyone advise what may be wrong before I take it for repair?

My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker all of a sudden. It's almost like a colour Burn and it's also washed out. Can anyone advise what the problem may be before I take it for repair?

Check the settings in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display.
It's possible to alter some of those settings accidently by hitting the wrong key combinations.

Ibook screen has gone dark

I'm helping a friend with a G4 i-book, about 3 years old I think. Today, while working on it, the screen went black. I think it may have gone to sleep but I cannot know for sure. I pressed the F2 key checking to see if he had somehow turned down the brightness but no change. I took it to the window and can see the computer is awake. Using the light, and turning the laptop at a side angle, I can see folders, etc. I went to the dock and found system preferences and clicked on display. The brightness was about half way so I turned it up but the screen stayed just as dark, almost impossoble to see anything. We shut it down and restarted it and while I can see it is on and awake, the screen is so dark you cannot possibly use it or see what is there without holding it up to light with an odd angle.
I did do a search by many of the posts were about flickering or flashing dark. His screen has gone dark and while I can see things if I 'peer' carefully, the screen is black all the time.
Any suggestions?

Hey Michelle,
Most certainly this is a inverter cable issue. Usually they open up near the hinge point. I've repaired two that this happened to. I have also seen two that shorted to ground and took out a tiny fuse on the logic board so after I repaired the short I had to bridge the fuse w/ a fuse link.
Try moving the display up and down while it's on. If it comes on it's most certainly that cable.

Why do I get a blue rectangle covering photo in Develop module?

I have purchased upgrade to LR6 (or is it LR CC?). The new software downloaded, installed, updated the catalog so it seems to function normally. When I first opened the program, it seemed ok, but soon a large blue rectangle (with an X across it) appeared over the selected photo in the Library module. I signed out and signed back in; I restarted my computer. The rectangle was still there, but I saw that no module was highlighted. When I clicked on Library, the rectangle disappeared. So, I thought I'd fixed the problem. BUT, the rectangle persists in the Develop module (only there). The controls do seem to work (if I click the crop rectangle, I can see it in the upper right preview window), but I can't see through the rectangle to actually edit anything.
Any ideas? (I run Windows 7, 64-bit)
Gail Goldey

Dear Jim,
I appreciate your continuing help on this. What I've been told is that
this suggestion is a bit backwards. System is set up to use whichever card
the software calls for. Computer has no way of knowing what LR wants or
needs; it's the software (LR) that has to choose among the available
cards. I don't know how to tell LR to choose the NVIDIA--LR should be set
up to make that choice. So, this sounds like a software problem. Perhaps
you can ask how to tell LR to do this? I'm not sure I can find this out.
(LR5.7 didn't have this issue, so it's somewhere in the changed software;
system is unchanged.)
The following is generic--but I hope you'll find it of some use.
I can't be alone in being frustrated by the need for expert advice whenever
Adobe does a software update or upgrade. If my system is adequate and
up-to-date, why should it take hours and hours of my time (and yours), and
possibly some esoteric tweak, to fix a problem?
Though you have been working hard to be helpful, Adobe generally is
not--unless one wants to spend hours repeating oneself on the phone and
days waiting for a query to reach the proper level, etc. Been there; done
that. It isn't fun. Even community inquiries (like how to deal with the
awful new Windows email interface) more often than not go unanswered.
Adobe seems to be trying to get individual and non-professional
photographers to increase or upgrade their involvement with Adobe software
and related products. Perhaps many such users would be happy to turn off
their GPUsas I am notbut it seems to me that Adobe needs to think more
about how ordinary people, not just sophisticated computer users, can work
with its software. I'm pretty sure that expert users also would be happier
with more seamless transitions.
Thanks for hearing me out. Trying to be helpful and not just complaining.

Hi. I have Snap To Grid and By Kind enabled in Lion but it's not working. When I trash an icon, instead of snapping the remaining icons to the By Kind grid, a space is left where the trashed icon was. Any suggestions on how to get Snap To Grid working?

Hi. I have Snap To Grid and By Kind enabled in Lion but it's not working. When I trash an icon, instead of snapping the remaining icons to the By Kind grid, a space is left where the trashed icon was. Any suggestions on how to get Snap To Grid working?

Where are you talking about the Desktop?
I don't see where it is possible to set both Snap to Grid and By Kind they seem to be mutually exclusive.
And then
If I have Snap to grid set I get the behavior you describe. If I have By Kind set the icons stay together and close up the space from the deleted icon.

Blue Rectangle in lower right corner

We recently upgraded from Captivate 5.5 to 7.0 and we are now seeing a small blue rectangle in the lower right corner of every screen. The issue appears in the swift file version, the html version and the preview version. The rectangle is not part of any slide. We opened an older project we had created in 5.5 and when we republished it using 7.0 it too had the blue rectangle.

If you make the thumbnails large in the Film Strip, does it appear across all the slides? Or do you only see it on one slide?
If it's on all slides in the Film Strip, it's likely on a Master page or a Content master. If you only see it on one slide, examine that slide in the editor. It should be in the lower right corner and should be clickable. It is likely an object with timing set to rest of project. A quick glance at the timeline would reveal something like this:

OfficeJet Printer Pro 8620 - screen has gone dark!

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8620. Although it's still able to print, the screen has gone dark so I'm not able to fax or scan any documents.
Need help ASAP, please!
Naidia

Hey @Naidia,
Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum. I would like to assist you with your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer's issue.
Just to clarify, is it that your printer display is too dark to easily navigate through the menu items, or is it completely black and non-responsive (save for the printing and faxing functionality you mentioned)?
The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors, have poor connection, paper feed issues and quality issues.
Secondly, I recommending that you perform a 'hard reset':
Reset the printer
Press the Power button () to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button () to turn it on.
Please let me know a little more about your printer's issue if these basic steps don't restore your display's regular functionality and visibility.
Thank you!

you should probably charge it. Plug it into the wall charger and let it sit overnight. Then hold both the crown and side buttons together while it's charging for 10 seconds or more and it should turn on.

Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on v

Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on the centre part with writing etc is almost black with light around edge. will this go? do i need to send it back?

Maybe your backlight is burning out? That's what I would think when the center is black but the edges have light. I'm not sure if a reset would fix the backlight but you can try (hold the menu and center buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release). If I were I'd send it back to Apple but do you know if you are still under warranty? You should be if you've had your iPod less than a year.

Satellite A350-20Q - Illumination media keys have gone dark

I bought a Satellite a350-20Q laptop about two weeks ago and the media keys above the keyboard have seemed to have gone darker than when i first had it.
I have checked using the HWSetup and it says they are definitely illuminated.
Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks for the help but i think it is a different problem than the lighting being enabled or disabled, if i gently press down on the keys then they become brighter so I am guessing that either the lighting has physically fallen down or that the buttons themselves have physically moved upwards for some reason.
Thanks for the help but i think i will just go and get it fixed or replaced.
