Why would it turn on? Could be any one of a number of reasons.  These things just happen!

  • I just upgraded to 10...and now links and buttons black out when my cursor moves over them, and my entire window goes black whenever I scroll.

    I just upgraded to Firefox 10 and had to go back to 3.6 because 10 doesn't seem to work on my computer. I have a windows 7 pc. After upgrading, whenever I moved my cursor over a button or link, that link blanks out or a black bock appears over it. Additionally, whenever I try to scroll, the entire window goes black until I stop scrolling.

    Hi Nester88,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • IPhoto windows goes black (photo disappears) when editing

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 and was editing a photo when it disappeared. Basically, the entire iPhoto window went black and I was unable to make an edits.
    When I went back to the Events page the picture was there looking normal. But I am unable to edit the photo because any time I go to make a change, the picture disappears.
    I restarted iPhoto and rebuilt the database, the thumbnails... every option available when restarting holding the Option + Command keys. Still no joy.
    Anybody have any clue what's going on?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. *Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. *Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *If none of these help*:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Firefox 21 whole window goes black after being opened for a few seconds

    After most recent update (21 I think), Firefox window goes all black - no buttons, anything, a few seconds after opening. Sometimes it'll last a few minutes before going black. Start menu remains so I can minimize it, close it, etc. Audio if playing on the page will continue to play after blackout. Tried all basic tricks including uninstall/reinstall.
    Windows 7 64bit ATI Radeon 5XXX 4gb ram. Other browsers work fine. All else seems to be fine with Firefox before it goes black.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Fresh Install window goes black updating pac

    I am new to this, I installed the system configured my wired connection the wirless I still don know how. So I was trying to install gnome and following the directions the first thing is update pacman so I ran # pacman -Syu and in the middle of the download the screen just goes black.
    Has this happened to anyone?

    Are you sure that this isn't some sort of power saving mode?
    If I remember correctly, my monitor blacked out as well during first update because of inactivity.
    All you have to do is hit a key on your keyboard.
    And forgive me if you consider this stupid, I work with tech support

  • Firefox main window goes black and all tools disappear.

    Occasionally the Firefox main window will go black and all tools disappear.
    It ends up with a black window, a blue frame, and the three buttons in the top right corner (minimize, maximize and close). If any audio (or video) is playing, the sound continues. If I click the X at top right to close it, it closes and when I restart it everything is ok. See the screenshot below.
    This only happens once a day or so. I have no way of predicting it other than I'm usually scrolling down the page when it happens. It has happened in safe mode.
    I'm using the most recent Firefox, 33.0.2, on Win 8.1 on an i5 system with 8G RAM.

    Try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
    *layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Preview window goes black

    hey everyone,
    i have final cut pro on my macbook running mountain lion, it has worked forever and although it takes some time to start, while it's running its great. I had to use it for a project today because iv had another problem on imovie. Anyway, im importing mov and mp4 videos from my harddrive, into two seperate events. The first event, had the same problem, but after i started using a movie, they all showed up. the problem is that they are on my library and in the event, but the preview window shows as black. and if i pull one of these videos to the time line, the audio plays but the image continues black. I cant understand what the problem, is and why one of the events turned ok and the other didn't... any ideas? what can i do?
    Thanks

  • Preview window goes black on 10.0.3

    Hi, since I upgraded to 10.0.3 my preview window will go blank while editing.  It only happens when playing from teh timeline.  I can go back to the Event Window and scrib video and see it, but once it goes blank on the timeline, I cannot get it to come back unless I cut or add some new video to the timeline.
    I am only using Optimzed Pro Res 422 video so it has nothing to do with that.
    I removed all filters and it still does it.
    I trashed my preferences and it still does it.
    So it's definitely a bug.
    Other also experience the problem as can be seen in this thred:  http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1307196
    Anybody else experiencing it?  Anybody figure out a solution?
    Thanks so much!

  • My screen on my MacBook Pro keeps going black

    I got my MacBook in September of 2010. It's a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. I have had great luck with it, until recently. This problem has been going on since like August now and it's time I should quit ignoring it. For some reason when I am just using my computer normally my screen goes black. Everything seems to be disabled but the keypad still lights up. The only way to get my macbook working again to to forcefully shut it off and turn it back on. Sometimes when i use the mouse a certain way (such as sliding 3 fingers to view other open windows) it shuts off. I have also updated my software from Snow Leopard to OS X Lion. I don't know what could be causing it. I have had some issues sending in laptops before to get fixed but I have a feeling it's going to come down to that. I'm a college student and use my computer daily and being a broadcasting major I need this computer for everything I do. Can somebody please help?

    I had similar problem with my MacBook Pro. Login window goes black in 4 seconds, but it is not turned off. Push power and screen comes back but goes black again in 4 seconds. I can type in password, but before it logs me in, it goes black.   If I connect to external monitor, the screen stays up, and I can use extermal mouse but keyboard input is ignored.  This was obviously display problem of the Mac, at the least. (no clue why keyboard does not work when connected to external monitor.
    I have solution: Reset PRAM
    1. Power down Mac compeltely.
    2. Hold down Option, Command, P and R keys (four keys total) while you press power button to boot up Mac
    3. Mac will restart at least twice. Listen to noise.  After 2nd power up, lift all keys.
    I kept holding down the keys and Mac restarted like 5 times before I released keys, then rebooting stopped. Mac now works. The article I read said "wait for 2nd reboot". I though it would stop after twice.
    In my case, I think use of extranal monitor confused Mac Book Pro eventually. I see no other side effects (such as loss of data on hard disk, resetting clock, resetting default settings etc) while I do reset, so I think this is relatively safe thing to try.

  • Cinema display goes black upon resolution change in Windows XP

    Greetings
    Earlier today, I updated my ATI X1600 Radeon to the latest Windows Catalyst drivers and to the Catalyst Control Center from ATI. Even since, whenever a Windows application (games, in this case) tries to change the resolution on my external Apple Cinema Display (designated as the main monitor in the ATI Catalyst Control Center, with the MacBook Pro display disabled), the display goes black, and the monitor power lamp starts to flash.
    If I unplug the external Cinema Display from my MacBook Pro, my MacBook Pro display activates, and displays whatever it is I was trying to launch, so the problems is somehow related to the Cinema Display, even if the new drivers are causing it.
    This happens regardless of my Catalyst Control Center settings, such as scaling the lower resolution to fit the screen, or keeping it the original size, with black borders around. The problem does not occur when I launch games using 1600 x 1024, the Cinema Display's native resolution.
    Any ideas what might be causing it, and how to resolve it?

    Update on my situation: when I tried to change the resolution manually in Windows, I encountered the same problem. Now, whenever I connect the Cinema Display to my MacBook Pro, the same thing occurs: the screen goes black, and the power lamp starts flashing, even though I've changed back to 1600 x 1024.

  • Screen goes black constantly, okay with Windows

    My mid-2010 21.5" iMac has been having issues for a while now.  The screen goes black randomly.  This happens anywhere from once a week to once every two seconds for days on end.  I've done plenty of research and seen similar problems but no real solutions.
    Symptoms:
    Screen goes to sleep.  Shine a flashlight on it, can still see stuff, so it's just the backlight out.
    It'll either happen at startup, before the Apple logo, or after using for a while.
    Using a hot corner or keyboard shortcut will temporarily wake it up.
    If watching video, sound still plays even though screen is black.
    Had it in a 60 degree room with A/C blasting on it, no change.
    Tried resetting PRAM, SMU.
    Hardware test was fine, but I can't do this when it's not actually working.
    External monitor works fine.
    Really weird-  this does not happen with Windows XP.  It runs fine.  So maybe a software problem?  BUT, the problem occurs when booting from Install DVD.  So maybe not a software problem.  I was going to wipe and re-install but can't even do that due to it blacking out.
    I've had it in and they replaced the LCD, didn't help.
    I wish it would just permanently stop working so it'd be easier to figure out, as it is, the intermittent nature is driving me nuts.  Can anyone please help?

    I meant SMC, not "SMU".  Oops.
    billkline, thanks for the input, the fact that Windows works has really got me scratching my head.  That's when I went to reinstall OS X but couldn't when it blacked out on the Snow Leopard Install DVD.  Thoroughly confused now.
    Also, starting tonight it now hangs on the gray startup screen for thirty seconds before booting up.  This usually is a one or two seconds before getting the Apple logo.

  • Screen goes black when coming out of screen saver. HP Pavilion,p7-1414 desktop, windows 8

     the monitor shows the windows 8 screen with the apps, then the screen saver will come on. Then when I try to bring it out of the screen saver mode the screen goes black and nothing I do will get it to go back to the windows 8 screen. Then the mouse pointer will disappear. So I end up having to shut down the computer using the power button. If I have the screen set up for the old style windows 7 and it goes into the screen saver and I bring it back there's no problem.

    Hello fleamarketlady,
    Your computer goes black when it comes out of sleep mode some times.
    Make sure that you are only using one cable to connect the monitor to the computer.
    Open up command prompt and run the following command SFC /scannow.
    This will scan the system files and correct any errors that it can.
    Here is a link to command prompt.
    When you go to open command prompt, right click and run as administrator.
    If you are still having the problem you can perform a system refresh.
    This will uninstall windows 8 and reinstall it without affecting your personal information.
    Here is a link that will walk you through the steps for a refresh.
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • Windows 7 boot camp screen goes black after windows startup screen!!!!!!

    A few days ago when I tried to start my MacBook Pro in windows 7 (enterprise) I encountered a completly black screen after the startup screen.
    1) Choose start in Windows 7 from boot camp menu (holding option after starting up computer)
    2) Windows start up screen would appear and finish
    3) For a very brief second my cursor pointer would appear and login screen would flash onto the screen, then the screen would go black
    BUT
    I CAN boot windows 7 in safe mode
    The computer is still on when screen goes black (fan still running and i can use keyboard commands to shut down the computer)
    I've been searching the Internet for DAYS to no avail
    PLEASE someone help me....... ive already tried the sfc /scannow and dskchk commands in the command prompt window

    Win 7 Enterprise is not supported by Boot Camp, you may or may not get it to work reliably, (I would not bother to try)
    Read this document then pick a supported version of Windows for your Mac.
