HT2506 OS X Preview: Insert a white box with no border?

Hello, I have a PDF document in Preview (OS X Lion), and I'm trying to insert a "whiteout" area--basically a white box with no border or shadow. However, no matter what I do, I can't seem to create an annotation rectangle without some kind of border showing up. Actually, it looks more like a shadow than a border. Am I missing something? Is this possible with Preview?
Thanks!

This drives everybody nuts, and Apple does nothing about it. My guess is there's somebody with a patent -maybe Adobe- forcing them to keep the damned shadows.
The only decent solution seems to be the free app Skitch. Reveiws are 100% negative on the latest version, which has been stripped of features (Adobe, again?), but you can still get the older versions at http://www.oldapps.com/mac/skitch_for_mac.php I use version 1.0.12, which works with Mountain Lion.
There's also GIMP, which is a powerful program but has a learning curve like the Matterhorn.

How do I close the white box with a keyhole, gear, and lock that sometimes randomly pops up in the upper left of my screen?

Every now and then, a weird white box with a keyhole, gear, and lock pops up in the upper left of my screen. I can't seem to close it or move it, and when I try to use another application, it stays there and blocks features. The only way I've found to make it go away is by force closing Firefox.Why does it pop up and how do I close it? I'm on an iMac, Snow Leopard. Have the latest version of Firefox, 10.0.2.
Here's a screenshot of the box: http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6819/screenshot20120302at821.png

On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

Thumbnails appear as a white box with dotted line -WHY?

My library is still intact, however, my thumbnails are appearing as a white box with a gray dotted line. If I click on the box to open them, then they are there. I took my computer into an Apple store 2 days ago, they reset the computer and it was working fine. however, once again, I am having the same problem. How do I reset the computer to fix this problem and why does this keep happening?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks. If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?! I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped. Have any clue what I should do now?

When i open .jpg picture in photoshop on MAC the the background thumbnail in the layers panel looks like a white box with the brush inside instead of picture thumbnail. how to fix it?

Very easy. That means you have a "no layer thumbnails" option selected.
Go into the Layers Panel menu at the upper right of the Panel, choose Panel Options and you will see Thumbnail sizes to choose from.
Select one, click OK.

When I forward an e-mail with pictures, no picture is received--only a white box with a little red x..

In my inbox, when I try to forward a forward I have received, which contain pictures, the pictures are not received by the party I am forwarding it to. Instead, it shows only white boxes with little red x's in the corners.

Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Spry menu hover: How to get rid of white box with "false"?

Hi--
I'm encountering an IE issue with a Spry vertical menu bar. When the user hovers over the submenu, white frames appear behind the submenu with the word "false" in them. Of course this doesn't happen in Safari or Firefox.
I was able to fix other similar problems with the menu by following tips posted on another forum. Namely, in the CSS, I disabled an IE hack that caused a white background to appear (menu background has to be transparent on this site). And in the JS, I disabled the following: this.removeIframeLayer(menu);
Here's the URL: http://www.qic-ec.org
Below are the css (1) and js (2).
Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated.
Thank you
Jackie

SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

Last stage I get a white box with adobe flash player installler on top

I go through all the stages, I download, I open it and it installs but at the end I get a white box that says adobe flash player installer on top.
I read to uninstall, then reinstall and that is what I did, Now I have no flash player at all. WHY WONT THE FINAL STEP HAPPEN, WHY THE WHITE BOX? Now I cant play anything!!! please help!

Hi,
I just called the Mac store and they said don't worry about a password,
just click enter or okay. I went to the Adobe site, downloaded a new
version, ignored the box and hit okay, and it installed. No prob. Miracle
after years of trying!
Now I am enjoying my Qi Gong videos! See what I mean about a higher
intelligence? it does work!
I hope everyone can get easier access to Adobe. I did email them that too!

Dreadful White Box with embedded swf

Hi there,
this is my first forum post on Adobe but I have been scouring the forums across the internet and I am aware this is a common error but so far it would appear everyone has a different reason for this error happening.
Basically when I just run the swf file locally from my computer it works perfectly, I have succesfully managed to embed it into the home page of one of my sites... http://www.reelflies.ca - it is about 3/4 of the way down the home page. Now I have also managed to embed it on another one of my sites just as a test file and it works fine on its Html page... http://www.digitalbarn.ca/Reelflies-Slideshow/sitemap2.html.. So I feel rather confident that it is not a problem with my code.
Now when one of our advertisers try to put it on their site it simply will not show - just a blank white box shows - now even if I send them the exact code that we use and even have tried linking it to one of the sites (digitalbarn.ca) that it was previously working on. Nothing seems to work, this is my first stint into flash so it is possible it is a coding error on my end but for me to be able to get it to work on two sites seems to baffle me.
I have also read that it could be that the directory that the swf and related files are stored in may not allow this file type to play but even with a direct link to one of our sites that do have it working it suddenly stops working. The site does have other flash on their homepage as well so it is rather frustrating that ours will not work.
Oh I also wanted to add that I am using the Adobe CS4 suite for this. and testing has been run in Mozilla Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome. I have also been using firebug to try to figure out any issues myself on the advertisers website to no avail.
I apologise in advance as I am trying to answer as many of the initial questions I often see when researching this problem things may not come out totaly how I wanted.

Included below is my embed source. I used Dreamweaver CS4 to produce it, the Website that is having the grief is http://www.thenewflyfisher.com/ there is a black jpeg of our logo near that bottom of their page and below it a big white square, that big white gap directly below is where our flash should be playing. That piece of code currently is linking to their servers which obviously isnt working.
I ran tests on my Reelflies.ca page with the below code to no avail unfortunately. That code works fine on my digitalbarn site but when located on a different site stops working which confuses me as I would have imagined the direct links would have resolved that issue?
**edit: For whatever reason the quotation marks at the end of my link have been grabbed into the links so if testing the links just make sure you remove these from your browser address bar.

Blue Screen at start up, then outline of a white box with ? inside appears.

My daughter is having a problem with her 13" Macbook. At start up, only a blank blue screen appears, then after a minute or so, a white box outline appears with a question mark inside it. Has anyone ever seen this?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'llsee a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes.
When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video. I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame.
I then sync and reboot on the iPad. Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
Repeated the above twice.
Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
Have removed all files from iPad and then added back. Back to black poster frames.
I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view. When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

MacPro OSX 10.7.5
Thanks!

BUMP.
Still looking for an answer on this. In addition to the above:
I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
Setting ratings made no difference.
I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
Still same results. Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to. And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
Apple, Please help!!
Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.

I keep getting a big white box with an "!" within a circle even after constantly refreshing Firefox

When playing a game on PCH I constantly get an interruption which is a large white square with a circle in the middle surrounding a ! symbol. Refreshing clears that up as it skips to a new game which will soon repeat the square, etc. I do get a message above that says an adobe plugin has crashed. Nothing I do seems to stop it for any length of time

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
