Messages broken in Yosemite 10.10.1 - Blank Screen

I've got issues with Messages not working after I logged out and tried to log back in again... all I see is a blank screen once I've entered my iCloud info. Worked perfectly before I logged out.
All Menu items are also greyed out so I can't get into the Prefs or Account settings.
Anyone else had the same issue?!?
This is all I see after logging in...
And prefs etc...

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

When I download a document, I get a message saying download was successful, but a blank screen where the document should be. What am I doing wrong?

I go to an internet company and try to download a document from it. A tab pops up saying the download was successful, but all I see is a blank screen with UI at the top. I don't understand where the download is going.

Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20.
Yes, just made sure of that. I do have the latest version of Flash player. But I have just staggered upon the answer. Chalk it up to being a newbi. I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV. When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine. Thanks again for your response.

Yosemite update crashes all systems. Black blank screen.

Updating to Yosemite is a nightmare. Now, all I get is a black, blank screen. Apple updates are destructive.

Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices before starting troubleshooting.
With the inverter it is the easiest part to replace and the least expensive.
I would need the serial number to give you matching part numbers for your system.

If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple About this mac overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
Hope someone else can give some insight

My mail on iMac is not working properly. Click on email, it hangs, showing previous email. Takes forever to load. "No message selected" showing in a blank screen

My mail is not working properly: when I click on an email it hangs, frequently showing the previous email, often for up to a minute. Or it shows "loading" and just sits there showing nothing. OR there is a blank screen saying "no message selected". It's slow to load, and I'm not happy. Recently switched from Windows PC, not impressed so far. Very frustrating.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. (I upgraded to Mountain LIon, and don't think I had problems before I did so, though I hadn't had the computer for long.)

Hi Sarah,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

Hi
And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
No exclamation marks there either ?
and non at the front page ?
iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

MacBook pro will not boot up. Blank screen with message File is possibly corrupted. Checksum does not match etc

MacBook Pro suddenly will not boot up. Blank screen with message File is possibly corrupt. Header checksum does not match, etc

Hi s.cheslik,
It seems your MacBook Pro will not boot properly and it displaying an error message. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your MacBook Pro needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Just downloaded 10.5. It gives me a blank screen for the itunes store. No error message. Internet connection fine. Have checked firewall. Any ideas?

I have just downloaded 10.5. it gives me a blank screen for the itunes store. No error message. Internet connection fine and I have checked my firewall settings. Any ideas? Or is the store blocked because of ios 5 release today?

I've had the exact same issue since late last night since I downloaded 10.5
I'm also having problems backing up my iPhone, which I suspect is due to the same issue.
I've tried all recommended solutions on forums and Apple support (deleting backups, restarting phone/computer, disabling/uninstalling third party security software, testing port connectivity) and none of them work.
I will try japiohelp's solution and see if that does anything.

IPhoto blank screen error message

iPhoto opens with blank screen and error message "Your iPhoto Library is in use by another application or has become unreadable". Not in use by another application. Tried repairing, doesn't work. Reopened while holding down Option and Command, didn't work. Any suggestions?

Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Blank Screen in Message Window of Solution Manager SPS 13

Hi Gurus,
We have SolMan SPS 13 and we have very strang Issue at the ABAP side : The Message Windows ( Most of them ) appears as just plain white Blank Screen i.e. there's a header in the message window but, no msg text as the entire window is pure white i.e. Totally Blank. So, the User ( in Client 000 ) can't read the Messages at all and can not decide which button to click in the Window ?
I checked on the SMP and have no mention of this weird issue - This seems Graphics Related Problem in Client 000.
Even the Solution_Manager and DSWP TCode also has entire screen as Blank ..can't use these TCode and Practically
SolMan is Useless.
Also, Can we configure the SolMan for Local SLD in Production ( non 000) client ? Or 000 Client is MUST for this ?
Was / Is anybody in the Same boat ? Any Suggestions To solve this ?
Sincerely appreciate any / all input on these 2 Issues.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
- Ishan

No Problem ..!
About the SPRO Config > The issue is two fold :
#1 Client has done Config of SolMan / Satellite Sysetms but have no documentation of who did what ( and based on
which SAP Guide / Resources !!)
#2 Even the SPRO Screen has white out - Blank - screen when I go for Config for SolMan
( under the Window 'Preparation for the Configuration of SAP Solution Manager ) , I see again only white screen.
So, I believe unless and untill we run the SGEN ( once we have space for it !!! ) , then I can have this Blank Screen Err Solved and I can move on from there to Profile Parameter Check as well !!
Thanks a Lot Again..
Best Regards,
- IShan

Please help me.. thx

HI,
If you have any sort of Back up such as a Time Machine one you could "restore" it to the Applications folder if you know which date it last worked.
Other than that it is the Mountain Lion Restore process (Restart the Computer holding CMD and R)
