Menu Turns Black

Hi
Have just reach the point a test all the buttons an just a little bit cleaning up on my project when the background of the menu turned black for what I would consider no apparent reason. The last thing I can remember doing is taking out a visable Sub Picture Highlight on the buttons. This to me points as thought the background layer has a problem? Any thoughts and solutions. Thanks

Sorry. By "This is usually because you have a full layer over the background. Turn off visibility on all the layers until the background appears." I meant:that there is a layer on a layer above the background layer (i.e. a different layer than the background layer) that is blocking the background layer from appearing.
It is not the background layer you want to turn off. It is one of the other layers above it. The background layer you have is not a folder it is just one layer, and you cannot turn it off.
Many of the layers you hav are folders. In Encore, you must double click each to open it, than turn off visible layers.
Just export your menu to an easy to access location, then attach it to an email to me. I'll look at it.
Export by selecting the menu in Encore, then Menu -> Save Menu As File.
Edit: I sent you a private message with my email.

Why does the music menu ok my iPod turn black?

When i try to go to the music menu it turns black and it doesn't let me do anything.

Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app
then
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

Can anybody say why In the layer menu the background color is white when opening a layer mask, and why does it automatically turns black by simply opening the layer mask properties menu? The vector mask is white anyway.

Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, the photo comes up for a second, then the picture turns black with a white fuzzy circle inside it and what looks like an explanation mark. Some older, some newer, no common thread.

There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the photos that are a problem, some older ones, some newer, some albums have none, some albums have a lot.

time to time (when I have a chance), I will go to Finder, bring up ALL Images and start going through them to label them (before I put a label on them, they are simply listed as 123 jpg, 124 jpg etc.).
You're damaging the Library doing that, and that's the cause of your problem.
Never, ever, ever use the All Images search and work on items in yoyr iPhoto Library. They must only be accessed via the iPhoto window.
Restroe from abck up or try rebuild the Library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Next: You need to learn how to use iPhoto. There's no need to be dragging things to the desktop:

[Solved] After watching several youtube html5 720p videos, Firefox (version 33) display or screen turns black and aero transparency in windows 7 turns opaque.

Hello ! I just want to share something familiar with that black display or screen occurs for some people. When I watch youtube videos, I used to watch them in html5 720p videos (not flash videos, https://www.youtube.com/html5 ). I upgraded firefox to version 33. No black display when I used it. Randomly and after watching several html5 videos on youtube, aero transparency in my windows 7 turns opaque and firefox display goes all black. Firefox doesn't respond at any command. I need to kill his process in task manager in order to close it. When I open firefox again, normal display goes. To relaunch aero transparency in windows 7, I need to restart the service whose name is, I think, "Desktop Window Manager Session Manager". I use windows 7 in french and the service name is "Gestionnaire de sessions de Gestionnaire de fenetrage".
To solve this, I upgraded my graphic driver but this didn't work. I tried to put "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" to false in "about:config" menu. No random black display but some html elements turned black for some seconds or definitely when firefox rendered web pages. I tried to uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available" in options menu. No random black display but html5 720p videos didn't play smoothly.
Then, I chose to watch youtube 720p videos again with flash player and no random black display and html5 720p videos played normally.
Here are my graphic acceleration infos :

I hope this will be useful to solve this problem in future versions or to someone.

This is happening to me too, I don't know if this is an Adobe Flash Player 11.5's bug or it's just my computer. All my browsers, chrome, IE9, Fox, doesn't even load anime videos. I tried reinstalling 11.5 many times, it have no effect but I use IE9 64-bit to run the videos that couldn't run. I waited 25 min for a JW player to load an episode of anime and I'm sick of it.

Photo turns black while editing...

Hi,
I just upgraded from iPhoto 09 to iPhoto 11. All the latest software updates have been applied. Mostly, there's been no problems, except for one really annoying one.
When editing a photo, most of the time it works fine. But often times, especially when doing some heavy editing with the various exposure, saturation, sharpness and other sliders, the photo will just turn black...nothing. If I exit from edit mode, the photo is there just fine and the edits have even been applied. I go back to edit mode, it works fine for a couple of minutes and then, again, black. I tried this with many different photos, same results. This never happened before with iPhoto for me. I even tried it with photos that were similarly edited with iPhoto 09 (made a duplicate of the original and started working) and am getting the same problem.
I tried rebuilding the library (checking every box in the rebuilding dialogue box). No dice.
I tried trashing the com.apple.iPhoto folder in the caches folder of user/library. No dice.
I tired trashing the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file in the Preferences folder in user/library. No dice.
I even tried creating a new library and importing new photos in there and after some minutes of use, same problem. Again, no dice.
My machine is a white MacBook, 2.0 GHz C2D with 4 gigs of RAM running 10.6.5 and all the latest software updates (including iPhoto 9.1.1).
Does anyone know what gives? Is this a bug others are encountering? Thanks.

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?

Photes turn black when trying to edit w/ adjus sliders.

I can edit about 10% of my photos w/ editing 'adjust' sliders. Remainder turn black.I can often reset and get pic back, the move one or two sliders VERY small amounts. there seems no reason although more often my camera downloads will take editing better than scanned photos. Wonder if that has ANYthing to do w/ editing problems. I get no error messages.
In terms of TD's suggestions....I had this problem before my hard drive died 5 months ago, Had new/upgraded OS, iLife, etc installed and started iphoto library w/ all new photos. Same problem, and it seems as if I can successfully edit fewer and fewer pictures as time goes by.

If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library. Do I have to import all my thousands of photos into the new library?

IPhoto Images Turn Black

In iPhoto 9, vers. 8.1.2, new uploads turn black after editing in iPhoto and content is "0", meaning I can't export anything. I can revert to original, but in edited form the content is gone! This seems to be with my new Nikon camera images only. I don't really have to use their software to upload images, do I? I want to go from camera to iPhoto direct. I should be able to edit photos in iPhoto and export them.

I still have this problem. It has occurred on pictures imported from Sony, Nikon and Fuji cameras
Do the resulting files also end up at 0 kb? If not, then it's not the same issue.

Pictures turn black, unable to edit

I recently downloaded iphoto '11 and sometimes when I scroll over a picture in turns black and I can't see it. Alternately when I click any of the editing features, for example, straighten, it also turns black and I'm not able to edit either. Is anyone else having this problem? What can I do? Thanks!

Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Exported originals turn Black! I have an awful situation where my exported RAW (Nef) files from a special event have turned solid black. This happened while I was importing another job.

A few days ago I got back late with my days work and went about importing it into Aperture as per usual. It was a big job so while the import was taking place I decided to export another job that was wanted the next morning. This client needed origonal RAW files (NEF nikon) so I selected 'all' and chose 'export originals' from the File menu. These then went to my desktop, ready to be uploaded to a client FTP. So.. this is where the scary stuff started. The import went fine but the export was a disaster. They appeared (on the desktop folder) with the preview as cover flow being the same as the import. When trying to open them they come up as completely black images. Ok, stay with me, this gets worse. Going back to the Aperture project, many of the correctly displaying previews have now turned black also, remaining previews when clicked on turn black. I've checked in the package contents of the library and have found the import master files correctly archived. The master files for the export though (the ones I'm desperately looking for) still view as the same image as the import. They do however have the file number of the exported files. I hope this makes sense. I really need to locate these missing original NEF files. Please help..

You can just try it with one image to start with, perhaps even one that youaren't having a problem with just to get the idea.
From the Aperture Manual:
To update JPEG previews for an image selection
In the Browser, select an image or group of images whose JPEG previews you want to update.
Control-click the image selection, then choose Update Previews from the shortcut menu.
You can also force the rebuilding of previews for an image selection.
To force the rebuilding of JPEG previews for an image selection
In the Browser, select an image or group of images whose JPEG previews you want to force Aperture to update.
Hold down the Option key while Control-clicking the image selection, then choose Generate Previews from the shortcut menu.
Link to manual: http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=6%26sec tion=15%26tasks=true
I'm not certain that it'll help your problem, but it rang a bell with me as I had some images with black previews in an old library I was looking at last week and I used the force procedure to get the previews back how they should be.
EDIT: Added link to manual

Scrollbars turns black and OS hangs for a second every half a minute

Hi,
For a few weeks I've been having this very annoying bug where suddenly all apps scrollbars turns black and the mouse/keyboard hangs for a few second then they reappears and mouse/keyboard are working again.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when scrollbars are going black:
http://i.imgur.com/Uk1rXse.png
At first it was doing it about 1 time every 5 minutes but now it has become literally unworkable as it hangs every 20-30 seconds.
I tried killing all the active processes (apps) to see if it would fix the problem but no luck it still hangs very often.
Any ideas or suggestions about that?
FYI: I'm using a multi-monitor setup just in case that could help figure out what's happening.
Thanks and have a nice day.
