ITunes becomes a white box

For some reason, lately iTunes has become a white box at times. I don't know how better to describe it. It seems to happen when I am syncing with my iPhone. The entire iTunes window goes white, although I can still see the menus above (File, Edit, Controls, etc.). When this happens, I am unable to close the window using Cmd-w or minimize using Cmd-m. My only option is to quit and reopen, at which point iTunes opens normally. Any suggestions?

I have the same or similar issue, now that I've upgraded to iTunes 8 on my iMac G5.
Most recently I pulled up a movie from Finder, which launched iTunes, and it started playing fine. However, iTunes seemed to get confused at some point and changed the mode of play, it launched a full size window with the movie playing. I resized the window to make it smaller, in the background the iTunes application was replaced with whitespace. I could not get rid of the whitespace or make iTunes reappear. The movie continued to play fine. Eventually I quit iTunes.
Note: I upgraded QuickTime before installing iTunes 8.

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")

Iphone4 pictures showing up as white boxes

I have an iphone 4 and lately everytime I take a picture whether it is from the lock screen or not, the pictures turn up as white boxes. Some of my pictures are now multiples as well. What happened and how can I fix this?

Depending on your iOS, Software Updates or recent iPhoto usage it could be a variety of things.
I quote,"
Some sort of corruption is happening or has already happened.
Are these images viewable on the iphone in the camera roll?
Do you have any camera apps on your iphone other that the Apple Camera and Photo App? Such as a different camera app, a cropping app, any other viewing apps?
First thing I would do, is remove all the photos from the iPhone using Image Capture (import and delete) but don't import them to iPhoto, just import them to a folder on your Mac.
You may get errors when trying to import them, if you do, they are definitely corrupt, and probably unrecoverable, so you will just have to delete them using Image Capture.
If you get no errors, once they have been imported, see if you can open them with Preview. If you can they are OK, if you can't view them, they are corrupt.
Once the iPhone is empty of photos from the camera roll, unsync iPhoto.
If you are using any other camera/photo apps on the iphone, remove them.
Reboot the iphone
Re-sync the iPhoto to your iphone.
Make sure that you can view photos in the Photo App, that you have resynced to your iPhone.
If all appears OK, take some photos, view them in the iPhone and then see if you can import them.
If they become corrupt again, there is a problem that needs to be looked at.
Now if everything appears to be working and you had removed some 3rd party apps, check in iTunes that you have the latest version and then resync them, but only one at a time and then check again after each has been installed and used, to see if corruptions occur again.
If the corruption occurs again, then remove the problem App again and make sure the problem goes away again. If it does, don't reinstall that App, as there is some sort of issue with it.
Hope this helps."

Photos sync from computer folders, but are in the wrong albums and some photos only appear as a white box?

On my iPad 2, I'm syncing my photos through iTunes from folders on my computer, as I am a photographer and don't like to use iPhoto and not have direct access to my original files.
My photos sync without any hassle, but when viewing them on the iPad half the photos present as white boxes or a half photo/half white screen. I tried resetting iPad as a last measure, I've deleted the photo cache etc, to no avail. In fact, the most recent time I tried it didn't fix the white screen, but also added another issue- my photos now are completely mixed up within the albums. Christmas photos and showing in the Easter album and so on, there seems to be no logic in it! As I was given my iPad last month by my father in laws company, they had bought their stock a while ago and it's now out of AppleCare support - even though I've only used it for a month! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
My Mac is a 1 yr old MacBook pro running snow leopard. My iTunes was the second oldest version, have just updated to most recent version, but it hasn't fixed anything.

Updating to the latest Iphoto release solved this. First time it rebuilt the libraries the pics appeared again.

My apps are white boxes (well about half of my apps) after I did a sync yesterday

I synced my daughters 3rd gen to my itunes yesterday, adding music & apps. After sync finished, everything was fine...all the apps had the appropriate pic. I powered it off. My daughter powered it on about 2 hours later and now about half of the apps are blank white boxes. The apps still work but I need to fix this for her...please help

Hello kensconfusion,
You may need to try another hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
The next step would be to reset your iPod's network settings. To do this, head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network settings. After your iPod Touch has finished rebooting, reconnect to a Wifi network and see if that does any good.
If still no luck, try removing all the Apps from the iPod via syncing preferences in iTunes and then resync them all back over to it.

Pictures Showing as White Boxes

I upgraded from an iPhone 5c to an iPhone 6. On December 22nd when I restored my phone from my iCloud backup all of my photos showed up as white boxes. Since then some have shown up but most of them are still showing up as white boxes. It says downloading below my albums. When I click on the photos that show as white boxes it says "loading" but then goes right back to being blank. It has been like this for over a week & it is starting to become extremely annoying. Some of my most important photos are showing up as white. Any ideas or solutions? Someone please help!

Wait until the restore from backup finishes, connect to wifi and plug it to a wall outlet and let it finish.

Most of the questions in here has been asked before, it is
simply counter productive to post
replies to same topics over and over again. The forum is
filled up with extra data and it become
more tedious for you to allocate any thread. If you web based
user, you need to go back few pages
to find your original post. For News Server users,
unnecessary threads to download.
Wasting bandwidth.
Not to mention wasting the participants time. Why ? because
instead of entertaining your problem
which could be really urgent (deadline), we will be dealing
with posts which should not be here in
the first place only because the user is too lazy to do his
half and prefer everything server
on a silver platter. We take the threads by the order they
come thinking each is equality urgent
and important. It makes you wait longer as we shuffle through
more than 200 posts each day.
Again, waste our time to post same things over and over again
rather than focus on unique issues
that hasn't been yet documented.
Adobe also put huge resources into making online
documentation and maintaining the knowledge base
as well as forums. People type that stuff for a reason and
its pure waste not to try to find it
but ask for someone else to point it to you.
Last not least, the forum posting policies clearly state that
it should be your last
resource after exhausting available documentation from
attached help files, online forum
archives, read me files etc...

For me personally, and I don't speak on behalf of anyone
else, it always seem very selfish.
A user needs attention and someone else time just because he
can't be bother to do a little search.
It takes seconds to find stuff, if you can't afford that, why
should we bother to help you ?
You might be new to flash but soon you become more and more
efficient, comfortable enough to start
using it to make living. Than you get a job and a client who
wants it on time. As banal as it seem
now, trust me, you will find it very frustrating that no one
answer your question in 5 days
only because we keep posting "how to open URL from a button",
300 of these every week, than 500 of
the Activation issue with IE and about 100 "pop Up" related

Album art showing up as white box on iphone

I have an issue with album art displaying in the ipod app on my iphone. If you take a look at the pic linked here: http://yfrog.com/0rimg0091up
When albums dont have album art they show up with a generic grey music icon (#1 in the image), but I have albums with artwork in itunes, but the iphone displays the art as a white blank square (see #2 in the image).
Anyone have this issue or can suggest a solution? Thanks.

I just noticed this on my phone today.
17 out of 360 albums have 'white box' artwork.
I'm sure they were showing up previously, and I haven't recently synced my phone either.
Tried turning off & turned back on, but still the same.
Interestingly, when you actually play any tracks from the album or browse in horizontal 'cover flow' view, the artwork displays fine.
It's only in the 'artists' or 'albums' list view that they display incorrectly.
weird.

Photos sync, but arn't visible on my ipod touch, instead a white box appears, plz help.

Hello, my ipod touch does sync photos from my pc but they can not be seen, instead a white box appears, although photos under "saved photos" r still visible
plz help me.

Vinay,
Try removing all the photos from your iPod by disabling the option to Sync Photos from under your iPod's Photos tab in iTunes. Then Apply the changes to remove the photos. Then reapply that same option to sync them back over and see if that helps.

A little white box appears in my browser window, and I am unable to do ANYTHING in Firefox, I can't even close the window.

I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8, so I know that Firefox should be working. The very first time I downloaded Firefox, I was able to use it for about 20 minutes, and then I kept getting some kind of white box (just small) that would pop-up over top of the search bar. Once this box showed up, I was unable to do anything in the browser...I couldn't close it, search, choose "file"...NOTHING. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times, and it still doesn't work.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

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.

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

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

How do I make a white box in my master page that's intelligent enough to resize on all my other pages depending on the amount of content?

I have a tiled background image but sometimes the white box only covers half the content and my tiled image is displayed under the other half of the content... Do I have to manually make the box for each page or is there a way to attach it to both the header and footer so it expands depending on how much content is on each page while retaining my background image in only the border areas?

Muse doesn't have that specific feature. However, in may cases the desired effect can be achieved by inverting how you think about it.
Using a 100% with rectangle with a fill image for your header and another for your footer, that leaves the page fill and/or background fill image to grow and shrink to fill he space between your header and footer. If you only want one column of your page design to have this effect, you may be able to achieve that using a vertically repeating background fill image for the page or browser fill (where the fill is a horizontal band the with color only where you want the vertical column to appear.
