Message stays blank

What ever i tried, my message stays blank ? please help

Hi,
Try a Safe Boot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
Both this and the PRAM/NVRAM reset clear out caches that other maintenance does not touch.
I would also open Applications/Utilities and then Disk Utility and set it to the First Aid tab and use the Repair Permissions button.
This always reports something.
It can be useful after an Upgrade or Update as just now and then the right permissions are not put on a file.
Other files have settings the the process is not expecting so they show up again and again.
These are fairly non-invasive and if they don't work we will have to dig deeper.

IBooks stays blank - cannot add files to library

My iBooks library is simply blank. I cannot see the files I 'added' to the library. I cannot see the files it supposibly imported from my iTunes (which now no longer has a 'Books' section.
Even tho i can open pdf's on my iPhone 5 just fine, none of those files can be seen anywhere in iBooks on my Macbook Air (Maverick), even tho iCloud i enabled and works fine in all other apps.
When i try to add files to my library it asks me if i want to replace the files they match that are already in it (again, these files cannot be seen), but it makes no difference whether i tell it yes-replace or no-cancel at that point: my iBooks stays blank.
I cannot uninstall iBooks because it says it is required by OS X.
When i open the app, view its info or try to delete it my whole laptop laggs.
Someone please please help. I haven't been this frustrated with a computer since i was still using pc's

When opening a new window, it just stays blank. For instance when I try to play a card game in yahoo games.

When I go to open a new window by the result of trying to open something on a page, the new window stays blank. There is no error message or anything, it just stays blank.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

Firestarter's hit list stays blank when portscanned locally

I have no real understanding of Iptables and just realized that after switching to AL I needed to set up some sort of firewall on my desktop.
So I pacman'd firestarted, found it in /opt/gnome/bin and ran the gui app
I set up everything according to how I wanted it to act and then dropped it down into KDE's tray.
I hopped over to one of my other local computers and scanned it with nmap and Xscan and both turned up blanks. Thats great... but Firestarter's hitlist is staying blank. Not a single notification has popped up as it should, the home LAN has numerous M$ and *nix boxes.... and our public IP is scanned quite regularly by kiddies out there....
Is there some configuration I need to carry out? I've read the manual at Firestarter's homepage and drew a blank.
Anyone seen this behavior with firestarter? It will stay running on the comp as its keeping my desktop slightly less vulnerable but I'd really like to gain full functionality from the program.
If ya'll need any more information please don't hesitate to ask... Or a URL to go read at... I've drawn a blank on google and linuxquestions.org....
Appreciate any replies,
James

I use normal iptables logging (the LOG chain) [from gShield (PKGBUILD available on the forums)] and I redirect all my kernel output to vc12 from within syslog-ng. I could create a filter for those messages in syslog-ng to show, for example, the firewall messages on vc11, but haven't looked in the configs yet.
Or, now I've thought of something else. You can create a FIFO with mkfifo and pipe all the firewall messages to that (also using a filter in syslog-ng). Let's assume you've created it with
mkfifo /var/log/iptables_pipe
Config your syslog-ng (I don't know if syslog is so flexible) to redirect iptables messages to /var/log/iptables_pipe (I can't tell you how to do this, because I haven't tried it yet).
Do (in a console)
while read line; do echo $line; done < /var/log/iptables_pipe
and you'll have live report from iptables.
^ I think this should work, but haven't tested it yet (as I've said).
Good luck.

P.S.1. There are some more advanced programs (as far as I remember) for detecting intrusions on Linux. I don't remember these advanced programs having a GUI, probably because they're enough complicated on the inside to create an interface for them. They just put the output in a log, you follow it whatever you want. You won't see much interactivity from the Linux firewalls, mostly because they were supposed to just sit on a machine and do their work.
P.S.2. I haven't seen on linux a GUI firewall on linux doing popups and so on. This is probably because the components are well defined, the firewall runs as root and you probably log in as a normal user. Allowing a normal user to modify live the firewall rules creates a security hole.

My Power Mac G5 goes into the power sving mode on the start up and screen stays blank. Monitor is OK. Help.....

I Hv a Power Mac G5. s soon as I power it on, the monitor (Lacie) screen flashes a message saying It has gone into Power Saving mode and the screen stays blank.
Once it happened before and was told to keep Command, option, P & R kes pressed while it is starting up and to keep it pressed untill it restarts. Tried that, but it does not work.
How do I correct it?
Please help.....
I am located in India. and trying to exhaust all available options before I contact Apple Support......

It sounds like your video card is not coming up, as the monitor is indicating that it probably has no active video coming from the computer.
Two things to try:
First, does video come up in safe boot (hold the shift key down while powering up)?
Second, how old is the PRAM backup battery? While not a universal cause of video not coming up, we have seen reports of a weak PRAM backup battery being the cause of that failure. If the battery is more than a couple of years old, a replacement is a good and relatively inexpensive initial troubleshooting step. (My own theory is that at boot, the PRAM yields garbage data to the system which, in some cases, crashes a video driver or does other mischief.)
If the computer is otherwise coming up OK, that is to say, you power it up and it hasn't clicked itself off and after a few minutes the fans haven't ramped into high gear, which indicates that the system is actually up and running even without video output, then it is relatively likeley that the video card has failed and must be replaced.
One final thing to try would be a PMU or SMU reset (depending on where your G5 is in the progression of the model). Information on PMU is here and information on SMU is here.

Every time I open Mail it fails to respond, the windows stay blank and I get the beach ball and can only close it by force closing. Any ideas?

Every time I open Mail on my Macbook Pro, which is only a couple of weeks old, it fails to open, the windows stay blank and I get the beach ball. The only way I can get it to close is to force it using the command alt esc buttons. Any ideas?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

Error Message stays on the screen all the time

This message stays on my screen almost all the time. At the bottom it says "Press center to dismiss" but I have to press over and over multiple times to make it go away and then it usually comes right back anyway. The error message says "Firewire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided." I don't have any other problems. It seems to be a bogus message and I can't get rid of it.

Have you tried these basic troubleshooting steps?

Satellite Pro P100 - Screen stays blank

Computer seems to be on, but the laptop screen stays blank.
Ok so right now the power light is on and HD and the back fan is not on, and when I press the power button, the HD and the back fan comes on and then the power light just flashes, but nothing is on the screen, and the the keyboard lights (capslock/numlock etc) do not flash like they would on a boot up. That leads me to assume that the laptop is hibernating or something, but it should come out of hibernation (if it was) on a press on the power button, but nothing happens when I do that.
also connected an external monitor to the back of the laptop, got nothing on the screen as well.
any ideas?

Hi
Hm, it could be a mainboard issue or something else. I doubt that its a problem of the internal display because tested an external display and there you can notice the same issue.
What you can do is this following workaround: Remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor and then wait one hour. Connect the AC/DC adaptor and battery again. Now you can try to start the notebook again.
If it doesnt work I would ask a notebook technician from an authorized service provider. Maybe its a hardware malfunction and the ASP can test your notebook.

Jtextarea stays blank when typing in it - Please help!

Hi all,
When I try to type into a Jtextarea, no text appears at all. The area stays blank.
I know it is there because I did a select all + copy, then pasted it into notepad and it was there.
Anybody had the same problem?
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you make any changes to its Background or Foreground color ? It could be both colors are corresponding to each other, then you will not be able to see anything in it. If this is not the case, can you show me your code ?
cheers,

I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours.
