IMovie icon becomes a white square in the Dock

Hello, I been having an issue with the iMovie icon on my Dock... It sounds something like the question raised here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=303666&tstart=0
Although in my case, only the iMovie icon is affected, and it doesn't disappear. Basically, the Icon is replaced with a white square, and restarting doesn't seem to help. Occasionally when I restart, the icon comes back, but after a few minutes it becomes a white square again.
I have a screen shot you can view here:

The iMovie icon appears between the iPhoto and iDVD icons.
I've tried killing my dock.plist file, and shortly after the problem occurs again. This problem does not occur in any other account on this laptop.
15" Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

My friends old iBook does the same thing. I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that it can barely handle OS X. His does the same thing, but always on the same 3 icons (Address Book, Internet Explorer and Powerpoint) and the icon loads more than half way.
I haven't found a fix yet either

  • Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge

    Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge it then the white square reappears. I do not believe the squares are saved

    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • HT4623 I have a white square in the middle of my apps screen, and I am unable to search for new apps.

    I am unable to search for new apps because I have a blank white square in the middle of the Apps screen.

    Have you tried a reset (different from just restarting)
    Hold down on both the Home button AND the Sleep/Wake button for about 10 seconds until you get to the black screen and see the Apple logo. Then let go of both buttons. This "reset" fixes a lot of weird iPad issues and might fix yours.
    Hope this helps!

    hello, when viewing our site on an IPad, there is a little white square at the bottom of the screen.

    Try giving it a reset. Hold the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red powerdown slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

  • White Square in the menu bar (Not a hardware issue)

    Hi there,
    I have a Macbook Pro 13" with Retina display (late 2012), and I recently updated Mac OS to Yosemite.
    After updating, I have noticed that there is a white square in my menu bar and I do not know how to fix it, I can tell that it isn't a dead pixel as I can zoom into it and it will not remain in the same place, it will zoom in normally as if it is 'stuck' on the screen, I will add some screenshots to explain my issue:
    As you can see here, there is a white square in the menu bar near the centre of the screen at the top.
    When I zoom in, it moves to suit, and if I place my cursor over the white square, then it disappears as if it is a layer below the cursor, below shows how it doesn't stay in the top of the screen when I zoom in:

    Maybe NSPopover (Safari's 'Show downloads' uses one, for example)?

  • IPhone 5 white squares a the top of the screen

    Appered just from nowhere, small white squares on the top of a screen. Since then my iPhone isn't responding to touch on that area for ex. I can't pull notification bar down or click high put buttons. Is there any possible way to fix it or do i need to replace the whole phone?

    I am also disappointed.  Got white lil squares too on my screen and cant do anything.  Now it's an effin piece of ****.  Went to the store and they said motherboard is busted and i need 400$ to have it replaced.   This happened after the update a week ago and then while i was surfing the net it stopped working

  • How can I get rid of a small white square on the monitor of my apple desktop?  Applications cover it, but no monitor display does.

  • No Icon for newly opened software in the DOCK

    i am reconfiguring my dock (starting fresh and long story) and i am opening software (for instance Messages) for the first time so that i can run a KEEP IN DOCK as i reorganize this data and for some reason i am not seeing an ICON for this software in the dock so i can do this.

    any ideas on what i am doing wrong?
    TIA

    Open Finder, go to Applications and drag its icon to Dock

  • HT2492 I am using Snow Leopard and the icon for dashboard was removed from the dock.  Does anyone knopw how to put it back?  I have searched Finder, Trash and the Applications folder but i can't find it.  It works when i press F4 so it must still be there

    I have searched Finder, Trash and the applications folder but i can't find where it is kept.  I want to put the icon for Dashboard back in the dock - how can i do this?

    The combo update may replace anything you have inadvertently deleted.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    You can reapply it over the top of any previously downloaded version.  I see that your profile says 10.6.8.
    Then software update to pick up any new security, iTunes updates.

  • Icon for a specific document in the dock

    How would I add an icon to the dock that opens a specific Word doc?

    Thanks.

    Drag the docx file to the righthand end of the dock (right of the divider)

  • My updated version of iMovie doesn't work. It opens, shows iMovie window but completely white, just with the grey bar on top which doesn't respond to actions.

    Greetings,
    Thanks to all in advance for your time and help.
    My iMovies doesn't seem to work; when I open it, it appears the normal iMovie window but white, all white, nothing can be seen except for the gray bar on top with the signs Import/Create ecc. All the options available on the gray bar on top of the window don't work, the input doesn't go through. All the options on the top TOP barr (where the battery, time, day, airport is shown) are all grayed out. I can't do anything.
    How can it get worst? It can: now after opening iMovie and trying to do something, without succeeding, I cant even quit the program, not even with force quit. I have to keep the general ON/OFF computer button pressed until everything shuts down. (and this is bad for the computer too). When I turn the computer on again it says: "you turned off the computer because of a problem", I ignore and access my data normally.
    Thank you again for your time.
    Hope to hear from someone soon.
    Regards
    Matt

  • .zip icon is blank white rather than the default Tiger .zip icon.

    Recently I removed StuffIt from my Mac and now when I have a .zip file sitting on my desktop it has a generic white icon rather than the default .zip icon (which I seem to remember was white with a zip through the middle).
    I was wondering if there is way of getting .zip files associated with that icon once more. I realise this is a pretty minor issue, but I'd like to be able to fix this.
    After searching the discussion pages I came across this page - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=733697&#733697 and a user linked the poster to a page that had a terminal command to fix this issue - unfortunately the link is now dead.
    Many thanks for any help you may have.

  • Grey and white square where the photo should be

    When I open a photo all I that comes up is a grey and white blocked square, if I switch it off of RGB color I can then see the photo, but then I cant save it as a JPEG... what the heck is going on?

    In the Device Manager, which can be found in your Control Panel, you'll be able to find out which graphics card you have. Chances are, it's made by Nvidia or ATI/AMD.
    Once you have that information, go directly to the manufacturer's website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver. (Note: Simply doing a Windows Update is does not guarantee you are using the latest driver. You must go directly to the nVideo or ATI/AMD websites to get the absolute latest driver.) After you update your driver, turn on Use Graphics Processor in Photoshop preferences. (via http://forums.adobe.com/message/4294508#4294508)

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 there is a approx. 1" white square in the upper left corner of my laptop screen. It goes away when I close Firefox. How do I get rid of it?

    The problem is stated above. My laptop is MacBook Pro.

    This can be a bug on Mac.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
