Menubar turns black sometimes, Lion.

Hi, my menubar turns black sometimes, after installing Lion. It happens without any rule. Does anybody have the same problem?
Thanks!

  • Iphoto screen turns black--- sometimes

    Iphoto problem
    I'm using Iphoto '11
    version 9.2 (626)
    MAC OS X Version 10.6.8
    Some of the images don't show up at all but come up with a gray dashed border around white background.  When I double click this, instead of an image appearing, the screen in iphoto goes solid black. In looking at the slides on the bottom nest to the "info", 'edit", "create" links, I can see something, at least a small image with some color but can't make out what it is; but there is something there. Then I scroll down in Iphoto and arbitrarily chose another (summer 2006 Feb 14 2006-Jul 20, 2006).  In this photo, I double click and the iphoto screen goes black. Another from the same camera, taken same day will appear, I click on "edit" and the image remains and is editable. The screen is black but I can see the image in that slide bar at the bottom of the screen. I scroll along the images at the bottom and most react as expected but every now and then I click on an image and get the screen black.
    Now within these same photos the mystery continues. In most of the "normal" images I can select and drag onto my desktop or put in a folder on my desktop (or anywhere else I designate). But, with these particular images that turn the Iphoto screen black I cannot move them. I tried to email them, they did not appear when the email was received and opened. No photo.
    Any help will be most appreciated

    Option 1
    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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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.

  • X freezes randomly, screen turning black or flickering

    Hey everyone,
    I'm having this annoying issue where X freezes randomly, I can't tell exactly when it happens. But when it happens, the following occurs:
    - Screen is frozen, sometimes turns black, sometimes turns black and reappears, but still frozen.
    - Cursor and sound (e.g. music) still works
    - When switching to a new tty (CTRL-ALT-F6), I can log in and restart gdm using
    sudo systemctl restart gdm
    - When I'm in the other tty and trying to switch back to the graphical view, I get stuck completely, not even switching consoles works now.Reset is the only option from there
    - Blindly restarting gnome-shell doesn't work
    I somehow have the feeling, it happens more often when I physically move my laptop, but thats just a gut feeling. It also happens often when my screen is locked and I try to log back in.
    I found this bug report, but its quite old and that doesn't help me: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14594
    Any help would be very appreciated, its really annoying to lose my work so often.

  • My iMac turns to black sometimes and need to restart it and then turns black again in 2 to 15 mins... how do i solve this problem?

    My imac turns to black someitmes. And I need to restart it... sometimes it works good for like 30 min, sometimes it turns black again even when i was typing in my password and need to restart it again and again untill i really angry that i have to leave it alone as i am going to break it.
    So, how do i solve this black screen issue?
    I can still hearing the musics and vedios and games that are playing.

    It sounds like you are having a overheating issue.
    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

    same issue, either your wiring or display itself is going bad. for me, it was the display but luckily still under warranty

  • New windows and menus sometimes turn black

    I know how this sounds, but bear with me.
    Sometimes, out of nowhere, application and context menus start to appear black (or glitchy and grey), new windows open up as black and if I resize applications that are already opened they turn black as well.
    GNOME menus (logout etc.), the shell etc. don't seem to be affected by this. If I try to restart X with a quick alt+F2 'r' I get a "Oops" error and my only option remains rebooting.
    I've been experiencing this issue for the past 4 months and while at first I could manage as it was happening relatively rarely lately it's becoming quite frustrating. I'm also more keen to get to the bottom of this.
    I don't really know where to start trouble-shooting. At first I thought it was flashplugin but uninstalling it was to no good. Firefox perhaps? some people seem to have had similar issue with hardware acceleration on, I disabled it but no improvement was shown. I cannot seem to figure out exactly when this happens. I've noticed it's more likely when loading big chunks on Ajax\Jquery (e.g. Facebook, Twitter infinte picture pages).
    EDIT: when I mean black, I mean everythink is black. It's just a black rectangle, you cannot read anything even though it still responds to command (starting to memorize...)
    Any help is welcome.
    Thank you!

    I used the 'sna' fix as shown in this wiki
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics
    ie
    To use the new SNA method, create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with the following content:
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
    Section "Device"
       Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
       Driver      "intel"
       Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
    EndSection
    I was also getting lots of the 'mei' errors which one cannot blacklist with the 3.10 kernel.
    I found this on the KDE website
    A fix to stop mei module
    As root run the find command below and pick up the pci device number ( in this case 0000.00.03.0 )
    # find /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mei_me/ -type l|sed 's#^.*/##'
    Using that number run the following command
    # echo 0000:00:03.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mei_me/unbind
    If you run the find command again you will note that the pci dev number is now gone and dmesg -e shows 'stop' alongside the mei error.
    I put the above in a script and run it as root after the system powers up.
    I am unsure if it is part of the screen problem but it stops the log filling up.
    The 'sna' fix seems to be the fix at the moment as it has not occurred for 2 days now.

  • (Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to turn to normal is to close the window and start all over again?

    (Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the on/off switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to return to normal is to close the window and start all over again?

    Does the screen go black while you are using the machine? ...or after it has sat idle for a bit?
    If it happens while you're using the machine, check to see if a hot corner has been set for sleep. You can do that here: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and click the button labelled "Hot Corners..." in the lower right.
    If it happens after a bit of idle time, that's normal sleep behavior. The delay can be adjusyed here: System Preferences > Energy Saver.
    In either case, pressing any key on the keyboard should bring it out of sleep.
    Re zooming -
    If this happens while in Safari, and you are using an Apple Magic Mouse, a default setting applicable to it is that a soft double-tap on the mouse will zoom the Safari window. A second double-tap will bring it back.
    If it is the entire screen that is zooming, Control plus scroll gesture on the mouse will zoom the whole screen. Repeat with the opposite scroll gesture to bring it back.

  • Im using my Ipad 2 and sometimes when I try to look a photo on facebook te screen turns black

    Hey !
    I was using my Ipad normally when I tried to look some photos on facebook and suddenly the screen turns black, but everything else works good, i just need to press "back button " and I can turn to Facebook and the screen looks normal.
    I would really appreaciate if you can help me.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • Why does my iMovie 11 sometimes turn black while replaying videos and then crash?

    After editing parts of my video i go to replay it and the video turns black. The mouse then changes to a multi-coloured spinning CD and Imovie exits. Please help me as this is stopping me from completing my video!
    Danielle

    Yes.  And, Apple needs to work on this.
    It is terrible because it is random and there is NO WAY to just select and get back the button or the choice.
    Come on Apple.

  • Backlight failing imac turns black

    My screen turns black, randomly... and sometimes within 10 second of turning it back on.
    Genius bar, and all other generic analysis have shown 'no hardware problems'
    Since it looked like a software thing, I went all the way.
    I erased my iMac, and started from scratch... re-installed Mountain Lion.
    but yo!
    It happened again!!
    My screen blacked out..  hasn't done it repeadedly -yet though.
    When the screen blacks out, the cpu and hard drives keeps going.. it's not going to sleep.
    It's just the backlight (or whatever is controlling) it is failing... over and over.
    Haven't found an answer yet...
    Thanks for your help

    Yep, we have 2 from work that are the same
    We took them to apple and then the next day they said they couldnt fail them.. the tings fail constantly and on any mac pro.. thyey must not of even looked at them,
    They lost the sale of 2 monitors as they didnt test them so why would I spend any money with them on new ones..
    This is the trouble with companies making a lot.. they forget about how hard the journey was to get there..
    I have contacted Nextbyte 2 times as I have a mac with a dodgy seagate and I stated that I wanted to lodge my Mac, 2. If they could ghost my currently drive I would be happy to pay for it
    Nothing, they have not responded..
    let me know if you find a solution as the 2 monotors are perfect otherwise..
    Thanks

  • Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

    Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

    Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
    An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

  • TS1367 My MacBook Pro when in sleep mode display turns black unable to wake.  When using the mouse it goes across screen like using an eraser and finding the middle of screen to get to the password area to turn back on.

    really have a hard time when leaving the computer on when attending other matters in the house. When returning, the screen is completely black and unable to wake(?) by touching the mouse or touch pad to put my password and be able to use the computer.  When I move the mouse pad looks like I am using the eraser like in photoshop and it clears the screen little by little.  Now I am able to point to the middle of the screen and erase the area where the password is in order to get to the screen and use the computer again.  Anyone else having this problem?  Took the laptop to the apple store near home and they told me there is nothing that can be done and I have to wait untile the new operating system, Mountain Lion comes out and supposedly this will fix the problem.  HELP!!!!

    I was so frustrated I call the Apple Tech Support and they walked me through.  It has been doing great.  The screen still turns black but now, when I touch the mouse or touch pad, I get the password prompt.  The Apple Store did not help but talking the the Apple Tech has helped a lot.  Thank you.

  • T400 Screen turns Black/Gray and System Freezes.

    My screen turns black or gray and the system freezes.
    The only way to fix it is to restart the system by opening all forms of power supply (adaptor and the battery).
    Sometimes it works fine for a day or two, sometimes only for a few hours.
    I think the problem has something do with my graphics drivers or some other driver from Lenovo.
    I have used Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox to check for hardware errors and it shows that everything is working fine.
    I have updated all drivers but still the problem is there.
    I still have warrenty period left.
    I bought my system 2 years ago and have never had any problem untill this one.
    My system specifications are given below.
    Model: Lenovo Thinkpad T400 2764 CTO
    BIOS version (Latest?): 3.18 (latest)
    OS loaded (ex. Win 7 64bit): Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    Lenovo default OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Basic 32-bit
    Updates from TVSU completed? Yes.
    Updates from Windows Update? Yes.
    Power Manager Version: 3.25
    RAM installed (brand and 1 x 4gb, 1 x 2gb, 2 x 2gb?) 2 x 2 GB
    Model of discrete card: ATI Mobility Radeon 3400
    Any error notification? No
    3rd party application installed for the graphic card? No.
    Any particular application which is running on the time this issue arises? No.
    Running on battery? AC? Docked on station? Error occurs in any state.
    Any solutions?
    Anyone had similar problems?
    Thanks.

    My problem seems to be similar. Sometimes my screen also turns black unexpectedly and the notebook freezes completely! In some cases I see a bluescreen of death and in some very few cases it restarts automatically. If it does not restart automatically I have to hold down the power button for some seconds to turn the notebook completely off (so that the "power on led" left to the "battery led" is not illuminated any more). Thereafter it is possible to start the notebook again. So unlike user 400 I do not have to remove any connected power sources.
    The issue seems to occur out of nowere and seems not to be related to the use of a specific software. My system is up to date with lenovo drivers and windows update, exept the BIOS, which I updated the system two times since the problem exists since more than half a year!!
    I also give my system specifications below:
    Model: Lenovo Thinkpad T400 2767 WC8
    BIOS version: 3.16
    OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
    Updates from TVSU completed? Yes. (exept newest BIOS)
    Updates from Windows Update? Yes.
    Power Manager Version: 3.25
    RAM installed  2 x 2 GB (bought and placed by loenovo reseller)
    Model of discrete card and integrated card: ATI Mobility Radeon 3400 and intel mobility 4 chip
    Any error notification? yes, entry for bsod or kernel-power-issue in the system protocol (but no specific error)
    3rd party application installed for the graphic card? No.
    Any particular application which is running on the time this issue arises? No.
    I use my notebook with AC connected, with battery and most of the time in the advanced mini dock! Since a few days the error never happened when the notebook was docked! So I thought it is a power issue or has something to do with the graphics card.
    But now I found out, that the issue might be related to the wlan card! This is because I never had a wireless lan connection when the notebook was docked, since I use a LAN cable. But a few days before I had to use the wlan while my notebook was docked and the error occured after some time. Furthermore, as far as I remember the issue never occured when the wireless lan was switched off and not docked, but I will check that again.
    The issue also never occured when I booted windows in safe mode.
    @400
    Maybe you can check if it is the same for you with your wlan? Maybe together we can find out what the exact problem is. I want to find out what is the problem to get it fixed by lenovo. Until now they alwas said, that they had never experienced such an error.
    Please keep on reporting.
    Thanks for any help

  • Macbook Pro screen turns black and has to be force restarted

  • Pantones turn black when PDF opened in Preview

    I am creating mockups for a t-shirt design, this top photo is how the design looks in illustrator with the correct pantones: blue 3115C, Red 119C, and Black.
    When I save it as a PDF and it is opened in the Preview Application, certain colors turn black like this:
    This has happened several times lately and I have recently switched from Illy CS5 to CS6, so I wonder if that is the reason?
    Any clues guys? Help is greatly appreciated.

    Apple's Preview is one of the worst PDF viewers ever. Standard advice for just about every problem is "use the FREE Adobe Reader instead".
    That said, I'm intrigued:
    > I have recently switched from Illy CS5 to CS6, so I wonder if that is the reason?
    Can you test this?
    A PMS ink does not "have" a color to display on screen, since the ink name in itself is enough to unambiguously identify it (when printing as color separations, to be exact). But (1) one would appreciate a fairly accurate preview, and (2) sometimes one needs to convert a PMS ink to its nearest equivalent in CMYK. For that reason, an approximation of the ink used should be stored into the PDF as well. I can't imagine Adobe forgot about that for CS6 (if so, your file won't work with Reader either), but maybe they switched it to a notation that poor dumb Preview cannot handle. In that case, I'm curious about what the difference could be.
    If you can create a small file that demonstrably works correct in Preview when exported from CS5 and *not* from CS6, can you post both PDFs somewhere?
